Damn it, I'm in the garbage book I wrote

Chapter 391 The Grand Plan
Construction has already started here in the old city. This is probably the first real demolition. As a group of people are built in the new city, they will be moved there. Those who move there not only have a house to live in but also a small subsidy that is neither too much nor too little. So the sooner you move, the sooner you can enjoy it. No one wants to hang around in these dirty and smelly streets.

At present, about 3,000 households have already moved to the new city. These 3,000 households are living advertisements, saying that the houses in the new city are good in every way, strong and durable, warm in winter and cool in summer. Therefore, people in the old city are looking forward to it every day, fearing that they will lag behind others.

Now that they saw Xia Lin, some of the brave ones even came forward to ask when it would be their turn. Xia Lin didn't waste any words and basically answered every question. It took him a long time to answer most people's questions.

"You are so brave that you are not afraid of being assassinated."

"Then I'm not afraid. I do have some ability. What's more, look at the one next to him." Xia Lin pointed at the eunuch with hawk-like eyes not far away and said, "To prevent anyone from causing trouble at the construction site, I have transferred people here to guard it. There won't be any trouble."

Dugu Han glanced at him and said, "It seems that you are suitable to be a eunuch."

"You want to be a eunuch, right? Do you believe me? I can carry you to the construction site and have some fun with you first, regardless of whether you are a man or a woman?"

Dugu Han didn't dare to speak, she was really afraid...

The Dugu family is powerful, but they cannot defeat this kind of reckless warlord. What's more, he is still in power. If he really catches her and beats her up at the construction site, she will be helpless and will have to report him to the Imperial Palace and fined three years' salary for drunken indiscriminate sex.

"So you have to be careful about what you say." Xia Lin grabbed the wall and jumped up: "Come up."

The wall was about two meters high. Dugu Han, who was a little over 1.5 meters tall, stood under the wall in a daze. Looking at Xia Lin standing on the top of the wall, she bit her lip, took a deep breath, and tried several times but failed to climb up.

"I'll pull you."

"No, thank you."

Dugu Han had a very stubborn temper. She would rather walk around the door and enter than touch Xia Lin's hand. After arriving here, what she saw was a large and dirty construction site. A big pit was being dug in the middle. This would be the artificial lake in the future royal garden.

"Come up. If you don't come up you can't see the whole picture. That side is completely enclosed."

Dugu Han looked down at the mud on her feet, then looked at Xia Lin who had been standing on the wall. She actually laughed, but it was a helpless laugh.

"If you don't listen to advice, there will be no good outcome."

Xia Lin leaned over and held out his hand to her: "Come up."

Dugu Han wrapped her hands with her sleeves before reaching out to Xia Lin, but Xia Lin didn't buy it. She lifted her sleeves, grabbed her wrists and lifted her up.

Seeing that Dugu Han was about to lose his temper, Xia Lin pointed to a mud puddle not far away and said, "If you dare to say anything nonsense, I'll throw you in there."

If Dugu Han didn't want to take a look at the piece of land that he was determined to get, he would not have wasted any time talking to him and would have just turned around and left. He had never seen such a bully.

The two walked on the wall for a while and came to the top of the wall separating the garden from the land.

Xia Lin pointed at the wall under his feet and said, "When the time comes, a wall will be built here. This piece of land will be separated from the royal garden by only one wall."

Dugu Han looked around and pointed at the piece of land for sale: "This is too small."

"Why? Do you want to outshine the royal family?"

Xia Lin silenced her with his words, and now he sat on the wall: "Don't underestimate this one-acre piece of land. We can build a small building here and plant some bamboos. We can entertain the scholars from the academy next door on weekdays. There will be no noise from stringed instruments or paperwork. We can taste fragrant tea, enjoy the bright moon, watch the beauty of the four seasons, and listen to the sound of wind, rain, thunder and lightning."

"Academy..."

Dugu Han looked back and said, "The Royal Academy?"

"I won't hide it from you."

Xia Lin told Dugu Han about this cultural building, including its purpose of training talented people and gathering celebrities from all over the world. In any case, this place will definitely be the most cultural place in the Wei Dynasty in the future.

After Xia Lin said this, when Dugu Han looked back at the small place, his mind suddenly became clear. This was not selling land, but clearly selling connections.

No wonder they have privately bid up the price to seven million, and this is just a preliminary estimate. The price will probably be even higher when it is actually put on sale.

"Is that why you're making such a big fuss? But I heard you don't make much money."

"I earned a reward. His Highness gave me several thousand taels of silver."

"laugh……"

Dugu Han's signature disdainful tone made Xia Lin turn her head to look at her. Then Xia Lin sat there and sighed, "Miss Dugu is different. She is so arrogant. She is so disdainful of several thousand taels of silver. Do you know that is money that most people cannot earn in their entire lives?"

"What does it have to do with me? My Dugu family is rich enough to rival a country, so how can we not be interested in these few thousand taels?"

"Why don't you refute me and say that you are not a young lady but a young master."

"What's the use of refutation? You can do whatever you want. If you really carry me to a secluded place, since I'm a man, will you not tear my clothes?"

"Hey! You are so mean, you must be feeling very bitter inside, right?"

Dugu Han was too lazy to explain to him. He just stood up and pointed to a vacant land of more than ten acres in the distance outside the royal garden. The original shabby houses here had been demolished, and only a mess was left: "Do you have all those places in your hands?"

"After all, he is from the Dugu family, so he has a sharp eye. That's right, I hold all these lands."

"Sell it to me." Dugu Han raised his chin and said in a very high-profile manner: "I want them all. Name your price."

"No." Xia Lin shook his head: "These lands are my core plan." "Oh? You want to keep them all for yourself? Aren't you afraid that others will tear you apart?"

"Hahaha." Xia Lin took Dugu Han's waist and said, "Brother Dugu really knows how to joke."

Dugu Han had already pulled out her knife: "I'll give you a moment to let go, or I'll make you lose a hand."

"I was just worried that you would fall. You took my kindness for granted."

"Thank you so much for your kindness." Dugu Han poked Xia Lin's hand with the knife in its sheath: "Let go! Let go quickly!"

Xia Lin pulled back her hand when she suddenly accelerated. Dugu Han stabbed her waist with the knife sheath, and she burst into tears because of the pain.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Seeing him grinning, Dugu Han raised her foot to kick him, but after all, this was a wall, and she lost her balance and fell down. Xia Lin was quick to grab her belt: "Hey? Look what I grabbed?"

"Let go... pull me up." Dugu Han scolded: "You really deserve to die. You always act like this when you should be talking about something serious."

Seeing that she was really angry this time, Xia Lin pulled her up and said, "You poked me and kicked me, and now you say I deserve to die, right?"

"I won't waste my time talking to you. Tell me what you plan to do with all this land."

Xia Lin pointed at the empty space and said, "One third of it will be used as a branch of the medical school, and a separate gynecology and pediatrics department will be built. I want to reduce the childbirth mortality rate from 20% to 5 in 10,000 within 10 years, to 5 in 100,000 within 50 years, and to 5 in 100,000 within 100 years."

Dugu Han was stunned, but shocked: "A hundred years... can you live until then?"

"Of course Xia Lin can't, but the medical school can." Xia Lin continued pointing ahead: "I will use the other one-third to build an agricultural college. I want the yield per mu to reach 600 kilograms in ten years, and 1,000 kilograms per mu in a hundred years!"

"Hahahaha... you are really dreaming. Even in a bumper year, the yield per mu is only 400. And you want 600. What a dream."

Xia Lin turned his head to look at Dugu Han: "If I did it, what would you say?"

"It's up to you." Dugu Han sneered, "This is the most ridiculous thing in the world."

"Is it okay to have a bite then?"

"Hahahaha, it's up to you! But what if you can't do it?"

"You eat mine."

"Get lost!" Dugu Han was both angry and amused: "Can you be a human being? What about the remaining one third?"

"My plan is to build a comprehensive school on that site."

"Isn't there too much learning?"

Xia Lin stroked his chin and said, "Then it's a little less than that. Let's just call it a university."

Dugu Han laughed so hard after hearing this that he almost fell down several times. "Good for you, university. Good, good, good. I want to see what you can teach with this nonsense."

"That's a lot. I plan to major in science and engineering. The Cultural Building next door teaches liberal arts, so I have to teach science. I'll teach some skills like mining and bridge building."

"Ah?" Dugu Han exclaimed, "Every inch of land is worth a lot of money, and you're using it to teach masonry and carpentry?"

Xia Lin smiled and shook his head, then sneered: "Mining and building bridges today, flying in the clouds tomorrow. You won't understand even if I tell you, just wait and see."

"Well, I want to see how long you can last with your fantasies."

Xia Lin raised a finger and said, "My plan is for a hundred years. I will use twenty five-year periods to complete my vision step by step."

At this moment, Xia Lin's eyes were extremely firm, without any of his usual playfulness, which made Dugu Han stunned, as he felt that he seemed serious.

"Are you serious?"

"Yes, that's what I'm going to do. You know the book called "A Single Spark Can Start a Prairie Fire" that all students in the world have to read, right?"

Dugu Han nodded: "I have seen it, it is a bit unorthodox, but it is really good."

"That's only one tenth. There are still nine tenths. When it becomes complete, you will know whether I am serious or not."

Dugu Han nodded and said, "Okay, I'll wait and see."

Xia Lin said as he jumped off the wall: "Let's go, I'll treat you to dinner."

Dugu Han looked at the two-meter-high wall and then at Xia Lin who was walking forward: "Um... come here and lie down. Let me step on your shoulders to get down."

"Are you sick? Just ride on my neck."

"Then how do I get down..."

Xia Lin walked back and held out his hand to Dugu Han: "You can either fall flat on your face or I will carry you down. It's your choice."
