After the case was closed, Qin Hao said to Jia Fugui, "Master Jia, let's go. Finish trading your 100 wild animals first, then you can go to jail!"
Originally, Master Jia harbored resentment towards Qin Hao, thinking, "Fine, you dare to scheme against me like this? I'll make sure you regret it."
However, Qin Hao was completely different at this time compared to when he was interrogating cases, and he actually brought in 100 wild animals for a trade.
This beast is very valuable; it cost 300 taels of gold to buy.
But after he bought them, he could earn 1,000 taels of gold per beast, which was more than three times the original price.
So, he immediately became happy.
"Thank you, sir."
And so, Qin Hao transported 100 wild beasts to the Jia mansion.
Upon their return, they transported 30,000 taels of gold.
Back at the yamen, Qin Hao took out a thin tablet computer, which he had spent three hours making.
That's not all; the above are all city road construction plans designed by Qin Hao himself, as well as various building construction plans.
Qin Hao handed it to Xu Qiang and said, "Xu Qiang, go and recruit workers now. Start by repairing the roads. All the roads and streets in the entire Taoyuan County need to be repaired to this condition."
"By the way, our benefits are excellent too. We have food, lodging, and a wage—two copper coins a day!"
"Yes, Your subordinate will certainly complete the mission!"
After saying that, Xu Qiang left.
During this time, Qin Hao was also busy, making many more engineering vehicles and modern tools.
He also designed the blueprints; he handled everything himself.
This was only possible because he had mastered the Origin Power and his Mental Power was quite strong at the moment.
Time flies, and soon a year has passed.
Taoyuan County is now completely different from what it used to be; it looks like a modern city with high-rise buildings.
Moreover, Taoyuan County was still expanding outwards at that time.
The population of the county town has increased from more than 2,000 people to hundreds of thousands of households.
There's no way around it, because Taoyuan County's environment, architectural style, and economic development are all far too advanced.
This caused every wealthy businessman who passed through the area to instantly fall in love with the place.
Gradually, only wealthy people lived in Taoyuan County, and housing prices became incredibly high, even higher than those in the bustling Chang'an City.
Qin Hao, on the other hand, made a fortune.
Of course, he didn't take a single penny; he invested it all in the city's construction.
Why? Because he can synthesize all elements, so he can synthesize things like gold, silver, jade, and emeralds using any atoms.
But he didn't; he used all the money he earned to develop Taoyuan County.
At this moment, in the imperial palace of Chang'an City.
"My esteemed ministers, the one-year period has now come to an end. I wonder what state Qin Hao has made of Taoyuan County?"
Emperor Xuanzong of Tang said.
"Your Majesty, I believe it's already a good thing that Qin Hao didn't starve to death."
"Indeed, there has been no news from Taoyuan County this past year, and there has been no rain; it remains a drought. The disaster relief funds allocated by the central government are only 1,000 taels of silver, which is simply not enough to last a whole year!"
"Exactly, we still haven't received any news from Taoyuan County. I guess Qin Hao is too ashamed to report anything!"
"Hmm, what you all say is true. However, a ruler's word is his bond. Since you said you'd go and see for yourself in a year, then let's go. How about this, Minister Zhang, you come with me to investigate? What do you say?"
"Your Majesty, I am willing to go!"
Just as Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was thinking of coming to Taoyuan County to inspect Qin Hao's achievements, Qin Hao was still lying in a rocking chair by the outdoor swimming pool in his villa, basking in the sun.
This villa was originally the county magistrate's residence, which Qin Hao transformed into a modern-style villa.
"Master, Master Jia is here to see you!"
At this moment, the little girl from before ran to Qin Hao's side and shouted.
Upon hearing this, Qin Hao immediately took off his sunglasses and said, "Okay, I understand. Tell him to wait for me in the living room!"
"Yes!"
Qin Hao got up, wrapped himself in a bath towel, and hurried towards the living room.
In the living room, Master Jia wore a respectful expression, completely unlike his former arrogance.
At this moment, Qin Hao walked in.
"Master Jia, what brings you here today?"
"Sir, it's like this, I'd like to join the Eastern District expansion project, what do you think?"
"Oh, no problem, no problem at all! As long as you offer enough, I'm fine with anything!"
"However, there are many wealthy people in Taoyuan County, so you'd better calculate how much money you'll need. In the end, whoever pays the most will get the Eastern District expansion project!"
As Qin Hao spoke, he walked to the refrigerator and took out two cans of beer.
"Here, have a taste of the latest beer developed by our research team!"
Qin Hao handed a can of beer to Jia Fugui, opened one for himself, and took a sip.
"Hmm, not bad, this chilled beer tastes great!"
Upon seeing this, Jia Fugui quickly thanked him, saying, "Thank you, sir!"
"Hmm, let's open it and have a taste!"
Hearing Qin Hao say that, Jia Fugui didn't stand on ceremony and immediately opened a beer can and took a sip.
That one bite left him stunned.
"How's my beer? Is it any good?"
"Delicious, my lord!"
"Haha, right? Keep up the good work! This beer business is huge. If you perform well, I can help you become the distributor for this beer!"
Qin Hao said, then took a sip of beer.
Upon hearing this, Jia Fugui immediately knelt down before Qin Hao in excitement.
"Thank you for your kind words, sir. I, Jia Fugui, will certainly not let you down!"
"Hmm, not bad. Oh, by the way, have you contacted them in Capital?"
"My lord, there's still no news from the Capital, but if there is, I will certainly report it to you!"
"Great, keep up the good work! How about we go swimming together?"
"Um, never mind, sir. I have urgent business to attend to, so I'll take my leave now!"
"Alright then, girl, see the guest out!"
At that moment, the little girl ran out and took Jia Fugui away.
Qin Hao finished his beer and then casually threw it into the trash can.
"The year is almost up, when will the Emperor finally come to inspect us?"
With that, Qin Hao went to the diving board by the pool and jumped in.
"Thump!"
Qin Hao fell into the water and then swam quickly.
Meanwhile, outside the mansion, a burly man in a suit and leather shoes opened the car door for Jia Fugui.
Jia Fugui then slowly walked up.
Then, the burly man got into the car and drove away.
Looking ahead from the car's perspective, the entire Taoyuan County is filled with people driving cars, making it resemble a city.
In addition, there are food delivery drivers on the street.
Just then, a helicopter flew overhead and landed at Qin Hao's villa on a landing pad. A little kid got off— Qin Hao's second apprentice.
"Master, I'm back! The bandits on Tiger Mountain have all been wiped out, with no casualties!"
Qin Hao had just climbed out of the swimming pool when he said, "Well done, you've worked hard!"
Just then, Jia Fugui returned home, and a pigeon landed on his shoulder.
This is a carrier pigeon with a letter tied to its leg.
The letter read, "Make preparations. In three months, a distinguished guest will be visiting Taoyuan County. You must treat him well!"
"A benefactor? What benefactor? Is he even more powerful than the adults? Really!"
With that, Jia Fugui tore the letter up.
