Chapter 376: Water flows and a canal is formed

Qian Youyu's mineral water factory had reached the end of its life before the New Year. There wasn't a single person to be seen on the empty construction site, and in the distance, one could still vaguely see the fragments dug out from the graveyard.

Under my bewitchment, Qian Youyu had invested all his strength into the construction of the agricultural trade street. Now, on the left side of the Suxi Township government, a large-scale, imposing agricultural trade market had taken shape.

The mineral water factory couldn't continue to be invested in, but the land was still there. Qian Youyu always believed that the land that was once planned for his water factory still belonged to his Yuetang Village.

I was too lazy to argue with Qian Youyu; whether the land was your Yuetang Village's was not for you, Qian Youyu, to decide. Without going through any land transfer procedures, this place was still collective land; to put it bluntly, it was still Laoyingzui Village's.

Mr. Liu was puzzled by the messy construction site and asked me, "Chen, what is this place?"

I pointed to a pool of water steaming with mist not far away and said, "Mr. Liu, come, try it."

Walking to the edge of the pool, I found that the pool had been repaired, but unfortunately, the original weeping willows by the pool had been uprooted by Qian Youyu, and not a single one was left.

Reaching into the water, I felt a scorching heat, and a faint smell of sulfur penetrated, lingering in front of people's nostrils, unable to dissipate for a long time.

"Hot spring!" I introduced solemnly, "This hot spring is rich in various trace elements, which can promote skin metabolism and improve blood circulation. It can treat many diseases, such as skin diseases."

Mr. Liu remained silent, testing it repeatedly. He scooped up a handful of water, let the water flow from his fingers, and drip onto the steaming water surface, splashing a string of crystals.

Standing up, looking at the peaks and ridges in the distance, surrounded by white clouds, ten thousand mountains dripping with green, spring had already arrived.

The sun was very good, the golden sunlight was like a sharp sword, slanting into the water, and on the steaming pool surface, infinite illusions were born. People's hearts immediately became melancholy, as if they could see themselves five hundred years ago.

Thinking that Mr. Liu was still standing beside me, I hurriedly packed up my mood, full of smiles, waved my hand and said, "Mr. Liu, there is a secret here, do you know, right here, eighteen stone coffins were unearthed."

"Stone coffins?"

"Yes! Cultural relics from the Three Kingdoms period."

"What is the connection?"

"Mr. Liu, have you been to Xi'an?"

He nodded, looking at me very seriously.

"There is a place called Lintong near Xi'an, and there is a Huaqing Pool in Lintong city. What is Huaqing Pool? The place where Yang Guifei bathed. Who is Yang Guifei? A woman who turns back and smiles with a hundred charms," I said enthusiastically, "Huaqing Pool is a hot spring."

"But this place of yours is not Xi'an."

"Indeed not. But who can say that Liu Huangshu's wife didn't bathe here?"

"Who is Liu Huangshu?"

"During the Three Kingdoms period, Wei, Shu, and Wu divided the world into three. This place is the territory of Zhang Fei, one of the three brothers of the Peach Garden. The eldest brother of the Peach Garden, Liu Bei, is the Liu Huangshu I mentioned."

Mr. Liu paused for a moment, then beamed, "Doesn't my name also have the character 'Liu'?"

"That's why I said, Mr. Liu, it seems you have a connection with this place."

My words made everyone around smile. Everyone knew I was bluffing him. He, a Western foreign devil, had nothing to do with our Chinese nation; even if the earth were pierced, it would have nothing to do with him.

But sometimes you have to be far-fetched when being a person. He, Mr. Liu, took ten thousand Chinese names, and shouldn't have the character "Liu" in his name. The Chinese characters in the world change thousands of times, but they all return to the same ancestor.

"Simply put, turn your name around, and call yourself Liu Misi," I kindly reminded him.

"Good, good," Mr. Liu shouted seriously, "Is there a surname 'Mi' in China?"

"It seems not. In the Hundred Family Surnames, there shouldn't be," I said positively, although I wasn't sure in my heart.

"Then I'll change my name starting today?"

"Changed."

"I'm called Liu Misi now?"

"What a nice name. It makes us all feel intimate," I laughed loudly, and everyone followed suit. Liu Misi was even dancing with joy.

"Chen, my name is changed, what should you say next?"

"Changing your name is a good thing. Once you change your name, your relationship with this place will be even greater. You know, the Liu surname in the world is one family. This place is the Feng Shui treasure land where your ancestors bathed. Today, can we not let it shine again?"

Liu Misi smiled without speaking. From now on, I have to change how I address him.

"Chen, you are truly smart," Liu Misi gave me a thumbs up.

I shook my head and said, "Your ancestors were emperors, you are the smart one."

Liu Misi laughed from ear to ear. This foreign devil, a China-hand, of course knew who the emperor was.

"Is this the hot spring resort you want me to invest in?"

"What do you think?"

Liu Misi hesitated for a long time, sighed, and said, "It's not up to me alone."

"It's okay, do your best and leave the rest to fate," I comforted him. Actually, the fact that he could hesitate meant he was moved!

If he could be moved, half the matter was done.

Yue Bai whispered, "Are we going back to the old township government later?"

I looked at her without saying anything.

"I asked Old Wang in the cafeteria to arrange a banquet," her face flushed, "You're back, you should always give us some instructions on our work."

"Go back, why wouldn't I go back." I told her positively, "Tell Old Wang, show me all your skills."

Turning back to Liu Misi, I said, "Liu Misi, I'll take you to eat a mountain flavor you've never eaten before."

Chinese cuisine is famous all over the world. Liu Misi had been in China for many years and knew its essence well.

Sure enough, Liu Misi beamed again.

Returning to the road, I saw a circle of people standing by the car, and looking closely, it was actually Zhao Dequan.

Zhao Dequan saw me, drooled with an old face, and came over, smiling and bowing with both hands, "County Magistrate, please accept my greetings."

I originally wanted to stretch out my foot to kick him, and he was ready to be kicked, deliberately showing his butt, waiting for a very intimate kick from me.

But in the end, I didn't stretch out my foot to kick him; I was now a county-level leader, so I had to be a bit particular.

Zhao Dequan waited for a long time, seeing that I didn't kick him, withdrew his butt in disappointment, waiting behind me, following step by step.

There were three cars parked on the road, mine, one from the Foreign Affairs Office, and a jeep, which was Guo Wei's mount back then.

"Back already?" I asked Yue Bai.

"Returned after the New Year."

"Didn't say anything?"

"Didn't say anything."

"Good," I said, drilling into the car.

Yu Wei started the car, waiting for my order.

I looked out the car window and saw a large circle of people still surrounding us. Among these people, most were the old and young of Laoyingzui, and there were a few women I didn't recognize.

So I asked Zhu Hua Yu, "Where are these people from?"

In Laoyingzui Village, there was no one I didn't know.

"From Yuetang Village."

I said "Oh," it seemed Qian Youyu had made up his mind, and Yuetang Village had truly walked together with Laoyingzui Village.

"Call Old Qian and Old Sun, and go to the old township government together," I said, and added, "Call Zhao Dequan too."

Qian Youyu and Sun Demao both had cars, but neither wanted to drive, both thinking of squeezing into the jeep.

The jeep couldn't even seat the township cadres, how could it squeeze in three big men? Watching them bustling and noisy, I said to Yu Wei, "Go, invite Township Head Liu to sit in County Magistrate Chen's car."

Yu Wei poked his head out of the car window and shouted loudly, "Township Head Liu, come sit in County Magistrate Chen's car."

Yue Bai walked over gracefully, I opened the car door and let her sit beside me.

From Laoyingzui, it would take at least half an hour to reach the destination.

I said to Liu Misi, "Liu, rest your spirit. We'll drink big wine later."

Liu Misi saw the peach-like Yue Bai sitting beside me and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

The jeep led the way, I was in the middle, followed by the Foreign Affairs Office Director's car.

"Chen, I want to build another Huaqing Pool," Liu Misi suddenly said.

"That's good," I laughed happily.

"I want the people of Hengyue City to all come to our Huaqing Pool and have a good time," Liu Misi said in authentic Chinese, and I couldn't help but laugh.

"You have to help me," he said, his words earnest.

"I have no problem. The key lies with Township Head Liu," I said, turning my face to look at Yue Bai, "She is our Suxi Township Township Head, in this place of Suxi, she is the highest administrative cadre."

Yue Bai was flushed by what I said, and said coyly, "I am a little woman, I can't do big things. I still have to rely on County Magistrate Chen."

I heard the excitement in her slightly trembling voice.

You have to know, once Liu Misi lands the hot spring resort in Suxi Township, Suxi Township will be a place that cannot be ignored in the entire Chunshan County, or even Hengyue City, and can only be looked up to.

Liu Misi was a smart man, heard the meaning in my words, and immediately crossed me, reaching out to shake hands with Yue Bai.

Yue Bai hesitated for a moment, stretched out her soft, tender hand, and Liu Misi's hand gripped it tightly like a bear's paw, and even shook it. He didn't let go after shaking, and kept praising Yue Bai's beauty in his mouth.

Zhu Hua Yu in the front row laughed, "Mr. Liu Misi, you squeezed our County Magistrate Chen."

Liu Misi laughed loudly, let go of his hand, patted my shoulder and said, "Chen, not angry, right?"

I laughed, "You do as you please. It's okay."

"In your China, the best friendship is to become sworn brothers. How about we become sworn brothers too?"

"Of course, good," I said, and reached out to pat his shoulder, "Liu, since we are brothers, brothers must help each other, understand?"

"Understand!" We looked at each other and laughed.

Suddenly I felt another hand being held quietly by Yue Bai, turned my face to look, she closed her eyes slightly, her eyelashes trembling quietly.

My heart stirred, I hooked my little finger and scratched her palm, her body trembled, and she almost withered onto me.

I coughed lightly on purpose, covering up my panic.

Looking up, I just happened to see Zhu Hua Yu turn her head and smile meaningfully. ===== CHAPTER 377 =====
