Chapter 14
To get rich, build roads first, have fewer children, and grow more trees. In modern times, this is common sense that everyone knows, but in ancient times everyone didn't understand it.

People who have lived in the countryside are helpless about the roads in the countryside before, especially when it rains, there is mud everywhere, people can't walk, cars can't drive, let alone work, it is difficult to go out.

In terms of crops, the biggest worry for farmers is that they cannot be sold after they are planted. The road is too muddy, and the cars outside cannot get in, and the cars inside cannot get out. , but everyone is planting, so the economic benefits cannot be raised at all.

One of the most important reasons for this is that the roads are not good.When the village is well established, the things in the mountain village can be transported out. When there are too many, the cars outside can also drive in directly to pick up the goods. It is very convenient for farmers to sell things.

Therefore, roads are very important to rural areas and farmers. It is very reasonable to build roads first if you want to get rich, and this principle will not become obsolete from ancient times to modern times, and even into the future.

Now I have received a donation of 200 taels, which is used to buy cars, purchase stones, lunch fees, etc., and there is no need to hire labor. The village head is in charge. Each household sends one person, and can also use capital as an agent. It's the same here, all people are treated equally.

The master worried: "My lord, is this money enough to build roads?"

Li Mo: "Let's use it first, and then think of a way if it's not enough. Have you written down the list of donations for today?"

Master: "It's finished, it's all here, please take a look at it, my lord."

Li Mo: "Replace it with red paper and post it on the bulletin board of the yamen tomorrow. This is the merit list, the honor list, and let everyone know who has done good deeds."

"Yes."

"Notify all the village chiefs and residents in the county to build roads from the day after tomorrow. If you don't cooperate, tell the county magistrate that I will go to his house as a guest."

"Yes!"

Looking at the dejected servants, Li Mo couldn't help being angry: "Look at what you are doing with your dejected heads. Isn't it just a barbecue stall? There are so many opportunities to make a fortune in the future, I'm afraid there won't be any."

Zhang Zhongping: "My lord, is there anything faster than getting money from barbecue?"

Li Mo: "We are in charge of the bus route from the county to the provincial capital. First, we will buy a few horses and two carriages. We will operate the road while repairing the road. We will post the notice tomorrow, and the first bus route will be opened the day after tomorrow. This is not you guys. Is there something to do? Road construction needs to maintain order, and the production of sweet potato flour workshops is safe. Isn’t this what you have to do? You all cheer me up, and if something goes wrong, you are the only ones to ask.”

Since the gentry are unwilling to do it, let the government servants do it. Maybe this will be the first bus company in Jin State, which is pretty beautiful when you think about it.

Everyone had something to do again, and the servants began to be full of energy again.

Tonight is the last barbecue. It is a barbecue and is teaching Boss Wang. What is important about barbecue is the heat, and the most important thing is the secret ingredients.

Boss Wang sent seven people to learn barbecue. Because it was the first time to bake, he gave customers a lot of discounts, starting from [-]% off, the more they eat, the more discounts they get.

It was really lively that night, and many people came for the discount.

Boss Wang didn't do anything, just looked at his employees with a smile, they were busy with their work, they were basically half selling and half giving away, some baked goods didn't look good, and they were basically giving away, and everyone didn't like the free ones , so the business of the barbecue stall was the best that night, and it was overcrowded with people.

There is nothing to teach about cold drinks, it's just a matter of ice.

The current night market street is very lively, and a few simple toilets have been built, which is very convenient. Of course, going to the toilet is free, and someone will collect it specially. This is fertilizer.

In ancient times, there was no entertainment, and people couldn't sleep on such a hot day. People preferred to go shopping in the streets, even if they didn't buy anything, it was good to take a walk.

It's good to be popular, and business will come naturally if you are popular. If you are dead, no matter how cheap things are, no one will want them.

Li Mo didn't participate in the barbecue, but sat on the wall of the yamen, holding a glass of watermelon juice in his left hand, and a roasted chicken leg in his right. The breeze blew, not to mention how comfortable it was.

Song Min and the master didn't know when they came to the top of the wall. Song Min still had two jugs of wine in his hand, and the master was holding a bag of peanuts.

"My lord, would you like some?"

Li Mo: "Song Min, you are the only one who will do it."

Song Min chuckled: "It's okay to drink a little."

Master: "My lord, you can't drink without eating peanuts."

Li Mo: "Everyone, drink a little, we won't have that leisure time from tomorrow on."

It's going to be busy tomorrow.

It suddenly occurred to me that Master was a person who had studied books all his life.

Li Mo asked the master: "Master, if you have the chance, would you still take the imperial examination?"

The master thought for a long time, and then sighed: "If you don't participate, even if you pass the exam, so what, in the end you can only be assigned to a small county town, a small county magistrate, and you don't know where you will be assigned, and you will have to leave your hometown .I am too old to have a chance of promotion, so I might as well stay in Songjiang County, work hard with you for a few years, and then enjoy my old age.”

This is also a good choice. The older you are, the less you want to be too far away from home.

Li Mo: "When does the township test start?"

Master: "Next year."

The ancient township examinations were held every three years. It should be said that these examinations were held every three years.Fortunately, it's not this year, otherwise I'll be busy again.

Li Mo looked at Song Min: "What about you?"

Song Min was stunned for a moment: "As long as the adults don't dislike me, I will work hard with the adults."

Li Mo smiled: "You two will not work in my small county government until retirement?"

I don't know what retirement is, but I can probably guess what it means.

The master smiled flatteringly: "My lord won't be so stingy, won't we be allowed to enjoy our old age here?"

Li Mo: "I won't be so stingy. I said that you will have meat to eat with me. In the future, our team will continue to grow, and we still have to rely on you old people to lead us?"

Several people were discussing the lack of work, and chatting everywhere, and before they knew it, the night market had already ended.

Li Mo remembered that she was a daughter, so she only took a few sips of wine, and all the other masters drank it. It is really hard to see that a gentle and gentle person can drink so much.

Back in the room, Mrs. Zhou hadn't slept yet. She was used to not resting until Li Mo came back.

Smelling the smell of alcohol all over Li Mo's body, Zhou frowned and slapped Li Mo on the back: "I told you to drink, told you to drink, don't you know who I am?"

Li Mo smiled: "Mother, don't worry, I know, I just drank a few sips, I'm not drunk."

Zhou: "People who are drunk say they are not drunk."

Li Mo couldn't laugh or cry: "Okay, mother, I'm drunk now and I want to rest."

Zhou: "You child."
