Zhong Ziheng sent Chu Heng and Zhang Yun to Qingzhou Courtyard to assist Qiuting and Qi Liang in handling affairs there, putting the suggestion Qiuting had raised at the Nanyou Garden meeting into action to make it a reality as soon as possible.
Qiuting had suggested expanding the market space of the Zhong Clan across the entire mountainous region of Wuling Town, incorporating the surrounding villages with relatively solid economic foundations—Dongjiang Village, Nanwan Village, Xihai Village, and Beihu Village—into a comprehensive expansion zone. Qingzhou Village was currently the most developed of all the mountain villages and served as an excellent example and model, offering plenty of valuable experiences and methods for the subsequent development, construction, operation, and management of the other mountain villages.
While Chu Heng and the others were quite familiar with the rolling mountains and steep ridges of Bailing County, their knowledge was limited to terrain, topography, landforms, and place names. As for the specific conditions of each individual mountain village, they actually knew very little, which meant they would have to send someone out to gather detailed information, requiring a certain amount of time and effort.
