He is not someone who places great importance on profit, but simply by solving a large number of people's employment issues, in Lin Shuhong's eyes, he is a commendable person.
Before even meeting him, she was left with a good impression; however, Lin Shuhong did not expect that Liu Qingxi would later surprise her even more, not only with his character but also with his abilities.
"Let's go, Suburbs!" Lin Shuhong urged the coachman as she got into the carriage that had been following her closely.
Five miles away in the Suburbs, there was a bustling scene. Liu Qingxi was dressed in a neat and tidy light blue shirt, personally directing operations on site.
Many people might think that she should not be so visible and publicly engaged in business as the wife of a Fifth Rank official, as it could be seen as losing face.
Moreover, in the social hierarchy of farmers, artisans, and merchants, businessmen are often regarded as being in a lower position.
However, Liu Qingxi has never thought this way. Every level of society has its reason for existence; no so-called low status can be overlooked.
Whether they are commoners or merchants, officials or craftsmen, all kinds of people make up a nation and facilitate the circulation of various resources within it.
Each component is indispensable.
Just like in nature's ecosystem, if one species is missing—even those insects whose value we cannot see—it can disrupt the balance of the ecosystem and lead to devastating consequences.
Thus, it is the same principle: since Liu Qingxi has chosen this path, she aims to apply her architectural concepts and also implement certain reinforcement modifications or improvements into practice.
She strives to bring benefits to those around her and to the local community.
For example, although she is making money from building and buying houses now, correspondingly, she has also supported thousands of families.
She has provided an increasing number of job opportunities; similar to certain modern corporations that rely on their projects to support tens of thousands of employees.
Lin Shurong had to admit, Master Designer was indeed an expert.
After listening to the common people for a while, he had a more accurate understanding of Liu Qingxi.
This girl is impressive! She doesn't just focus on making money; she brings good news to the people.
It's important to know that every year in the Western Moon Kingdom, countless people struggle to find enough food and clothing, living off the meager yields of their fields.
At this time, if they could have other sources of income, it would solve many problems for the Western Moon.
Unfortunately, the people's livelihoods have been a long-standing issue that the court has tried every possible way to resolve but has not been able to fundamentally change.
In contrast, Liu Qingxi addresses the problems of the common people more effectively than other industries.
Half an hour later, Lin Shurong's carriage arrived at the construction site. From a distance, he could see buildings rising from the ground, with different stages of construction happening simultaneously.
This bustling scene was truly better seen than heard; even in his youth, he had never organized such a massive project from start to finish.
At most, he had collaborated with several others to complete something. Yet here was Liu Qingxi, a young woman capable of achieving such a feat—worthy of admiration and respect.
Looking around at the busy workers, almost all were men. Aside from a few women near a makeshift cooking tent, he only spotted one woman.
Dressed neatly in blue, she was gesturing with a man about something. As she passed by him, he casually asked a man nearby, "Brother, who is that woman?"
"You don't know her? That's Miss Liu —oh no, she should be called Madam Yang now."
"I've heard she's quite impressive. Did she design all the plans here by herself?"
"Of course, I was one of the first to join," the man replied to Lin Shurong with a proud smile on his face.
Back when no one wanted to come, he had directly signed up to work with Miss Liu. Now? Who knows how many people regret their decisions.
Now that others are joining, which of them wouldn't give respect to the first batch?
Lin Shurong's apparent ignorance made him look down on her. It's hard to believe there are still people who don't know Liu Qingxi.
Lin Shuhong didn't care about this man's attitude and walked towards Liu Qingxi.
After listening for a while, Liu Qingxi was explaining how to proceed, where the remaining locations were, and how to handle the renovations, among other things.
One couldn't help but admire Liu Qingxi's clear thinking, organized structure, and logical reasoning; even those who didn't understand could grasp what needed to be done.
After a little more than a quarter of an hour, Liu Qingxi finally stopped. At this moment, she noticed the kindly smiling elderly man beside her. "Sir, do you need something?"
"You must be Madam Yang! I've come here because of your reputation. I didn't expect someone so young to achieve such success. What's even more admirable is your compassionate heart—Impressive Youth, Impressive Youth!"
"You're too kind, sir. If you don't mind, you can come in and rest for a bit."
Liu Qingxi pointed to a temporary tent she had set up. She had a separate room there. The elderly man's clothing seemed understated but was actually quite valuable. Observing his hands, they were clean and devoid of calluses, indicating he was someone who lived in comfort.
However, it was unclear what his obvious intentions were in seeking her out and what his true identity was.
While Liu Qingxi was observing Lin Shurong, Lin Shurong was also watching her. The woman stood tall and confident, maintaining eye contact while speaking, making others feel valued.
She treated everyone with a gentle demeanor, exuding genuine calmness and openness.
"Hahaha, you are quite the girl, just like that Yang Yichen," Lin Shurong laughed heartily inside the tent.
Liu Qingxi raised an eyebrow; judging by this attitude, it seemed she was quite familiar with Yang Yichen.
With just one expression, the perceptive Lin Shurong understood what she was thinking: "Alright, stop guessing. I am Lin Shurong, Minister of Works, and your husband Yang Yichen's superior."
Liu Qingxi understood now. No wonder. With Yang Yichen's abilities, it wasn't surprising that he received attention; it was just interesting that this person cared so much about her.
"Don't be nervous. I'm just here to take a look at the famous Miss Liu, Madam Yang, and see what you look like."
"Lord Lin is joking; how could I dare to accept such praise?"
"You deserve it. From now on, if you encounter any difficulties, feel free to come to me." Lin Shurong made such a promise upon their first meeting, indicating her regard for Liu Qingxi.
"By the way, I wonder if you would be interested in becoming my apprentice. If you become my disciple, you'll be able to walk confidently in the capital; that would be about right." Lin Shurong coaxed like a wolf grandmother trying to entice a child.
Liu Qingxi felt a wave of annoyance; did she really look that much like Little Red Riding Hood?
"Thank you for your kind offer, Lord Lin, but Qingxi already has a master who has imparted all his knowledge to me. I cannot betray my sect."
For such an enticing offer, she felt neither surprise nor reluctance, which only made Lin Shurong appreciate her more.
