Currently, Zhan Lingfeng's attendance in class is quite lax. Since He Zhenxiong reported Zhan Lingfeng's situation to the principal, he is free to leave whenever he has matters to attend to, and even the homeroom teacher does not question him about it.
In the recent monthly exam, Zhan Lingfeng achieved first place in the entire school, which led to even more leniency from the homeroom teacher.
After one class, Zhan Lingfeng arrived at the construction site that was currently under development.
What Zhan Lingfeng did not expect was that He Zhenxiong happened to arrive by car at that moment.
"He Township Head, here to inspect the work?"
Seeing Zhan Lingfeng, He Zhenxiong smiled and walked over, saying, "You’re skipping class again. What’s going on? Isn’t it almost time for business?"
Since the project started here, He Zhenxiong has also become quite successful in the countryside. This achievement is his own, and naturally, he has gained a lot of praise from inside the county.
"So, what’s next for you? Township Head or Secretary?" Zhan Lingfeng asked with a smile, as he was somewhat aware of the situation in the countryside.
He Zhenxiong did not treat Zhan Lingfeng like a child; he sighed and said, "To be honest, I’m working on building connections. However, competition is quite fierce now, and my opponents are capable. I still lack a bit in terms of achievements; this project here isn’t enough to elevate me."
Looking at He Zhenxiong, Zhan Lingfeng felt a spark of inspiration and asked, "Where are you headed now, Township Head?"
"Isn't it because part of the mountain in your village collapsed? This news has been quite lively in the countryside; it’s strange how half of it just fell down!"
"Township Head, I actually have an idea that could help you with your political achievements. I wonder if you would consider it?"
He Zhenxiong's eyes lit up immediately. "What do you have in mind?"
"You’ve seen the situation with that collapsed mountain. Now that it has fallen, that area is accessible. We just need to blast a few spots and level out some uneven areas to make it passable for vehicles. What do you think about building a road leading to the village?"
He Zhenxiong replied, "I’ve thought about this too. The route from your village to the countryside involves a winding mountain path. Actually, if we go over from this side of the mountain, it would only take about forty minutes. Now that the mountain has collapsed, we can go straight through instead of going over it. It should only take a few minutes to get there. From your village to that mountain is about one kilometer of road; from there to the countryside is also about one and a half kilometers. If we’re talking about road construction, I estimate it would be around three kilometers."
Zhan Lingfeng laughed and said, "There’s no way it's three kilometers; I think it's more like two and a half kilometers. Do you think constructing roads on both sides of this mountain would be difficult?"
"That should be simple; leveling it with a bulldozer should suffice. The difficulty shouldn’t be too great."
He Zhenxiong said, "A two-lane road will suffice for the route to your village. It would be like constructing a Secondary Road. Even so, I think it would cost about one million per kilometer, right?"
Zhan Lingfeng was taken aback; he then recalled that in later years, the cost ranged between two and three million per kilometer, which was not that high at present.
"Can three million get it done?"
"That is definitely possible, and it can be built very well."
"I heard that the government has some policies to provide subsidies for rural road construction?"
"I haven't heard of any such policies now, but we can report to the higher-ups to apply."
Zhan Lingfeng thought about it and realized that there probably weren't any such policies at the moment. It might require some funds, but he had no idea when that money would come through, and he couldn't afford to wait.
"I plan to invest in the construction of this road."
"What?"
He Zhenxiong was stunned and then looked at Zhan Lingfeng, saying, "Are you really going to invest?"
"Aren't you short on some achievements? If I invest in Road Construction, won't your achievements be sufficient?"
He Zhenxiong was immediately overjoyed and said, "Absolutely enough! This would be number one in Dawn Noodles."
Zhan Lingfeng smiled and said, "If I were to do this alone, your achievements wouldn't amount to much, right? What I mean is for you to take the lead in raising funds. Of course, I'll cover the major expenses and we will get this road built."
He Zhenxiong nodded slightly and said, "You're right; this is indeed an opportunity. If we mobilize the Villagers for voluntary Road Construction and you provide the funding, with some social figures joining in, the promotional significance will be even greater. With everyone's cooperation, we can get this road completed."
"Okay, let's plan based on a budget of three million. You all can raise as much as you can; I'll cover whatever is lacking."
He Zhenxiong said, "Mobilizing the villagers to participate and getting the Countryside involved will significantly reduce labor costs. We can also engage those enterprises; there are a few engineering teams in the Countryside. We can give them the project but require them to lower their costs. Then we can negotiate with those inside the County. With everyone's efforts combined, I estimate the shortfall will only be around two million or even less."
"Alright, as I said, I'll cover any shortfall. I hope everything goes smoothly."
He Zhenxiong held Zhan Lingfeng's hand and said, "Brother, I understand your intentions. I'll take care of this matter right away."
Seeing He Zhenxiong leave happily, Zhan Lingfeng smiled as well. Even if the countryside did not repair this road, he would still have to pay for it himself. This way, he was also giving He Zhenxiong an opportunity.
After that, Zhan Lingfeng returned to the classroom.
Once in class, Zhan Lingfeng heard all about the sudden collapse of the mountain.
Looking at Li Xiuli, she also smiled.
"You're going to pay for road construction?" Li Xiuli asked in confusion on their way home.
"Yes. The path of cultivation is quite difficult. From what I understand about cultivation, the refinement of one's character is extremely important. There is even a kind of heavenly principle that when a person does good deeds, their path in cultivation becomes easier. Repairing bridges and roads is a well-known act of virtue. Now that I have some ability, it's only natural for me to do this. It won't cost much either. Once this road is built, people in the village will be able to reach the countryside. When the road from the countryside to the neighboring province opens up, they can directly take a flight, making travel across the country and even the world much more convenient. This is a path to prosperity and an outward passage."
"Anyway, I don't know much about it. If you want to do it, go ahead," Li Xiuli said in understanding after hearing him out.
In fact, Zhan Lingfeng had a secret he hadn't shared. He felt that the pearl from his Monkey Noodle needed a special method to be further understood. When he thought about road construction, he could even sense a kind of longing from the pearl; it was a very mysterious feeling.
As they traveled along, time passed quickly. When they arrived at the site of the mountain collapse, there were still many people watching there.
