After crossing, I want to be with you every day

Chapter 312 The Unscrupulous County Magistrate Li
Lu Daxiong wiped his face when he heard the words, this matter is too big!
With so many gold bars and jewels, this is definitely not a matter of tens of thousands of taels of silver.

"Don't say it yet. If they find out about so much gold, I'm afraid they will be shocked. You should keep it first."

Chen Xingyan nodded, "The gold is usable, there is no special imprint, but these jewels, let's put them away first."

Lu Daxiong glanced at those shiny golden things, but said nothing.

"Big Bear, let's ask someone to find a way to get some food."

After the beginning of spring, there will be no harvest until May and June. How will the common people live these few months?
Their Lujia Village is fine, every family has food, but what about those people in the town?

Most of them are small merchants and hawkers. They have no land. When encountering such a natural disaster, they can only exchange money for food.

But now there is another disaster in the south of the Yangtze River. I am afraid that the price will not be able to buy food at several times the price.

"Okay, listen to you, let's just buy some coarse grains this time."

Chen Xingyan hid all these things, and only brought out a piece of large yellow croaker. With such a piece, he could buy a lot of food.

Of course, you have to go to Liguo or Nanguo, don't count on Jiangnan.

"The porridge shed will stop until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Let's use these large yellow croakers to build roads in the future, and repair all the roads in our Qingshui Town. They are spacious and smooth, so that merchants from far away are willing to come."

Lu Daxiong was a little surprised, he thought his wife wanted to buy property for him, but he didn't expect to ask for road construction!

"Why do you want to build roads?"

Chen Xingyan said with a smile: "Our Qingshui Town has mountains and rivers, but the people's life is not good. What do you think is the reason?"

Lu Daxiong frowned and thought for a while before saying: "Without the support of nobles?"

"Well, that's a bit of it. In fact, I think the most fundamental thing is that we can't transport the good things here. The roads in Qingshui Town are not easy to go, and the roads in our Lujia Village are due to the efforts of people in our own village later. Even if it has been repaired, it is only good enough for a carriage, which is far from enough."

If you encounter a carriage going in the opposite direction, getting the wrong carriage is a big problem.

"If the road is repaired, the mountain products and wild game in our mountains can be transported out better. Think about it when we were in Fucheng before, those mushrooms sold for twenty or thirty yuan in the shop, but in our town , can’t even be sold for ten cents, that’s the difference!”

Lu Daxiong also agrees with his wife's words, the gap is indeed a bit big.

"We have repaired the road. It is easy to transport things out, and it is easy to transport in the good things outside. Big Bear, you are now the inspector of Qingshui Town. Although your official position is not high, in the hearts of the people of Qingshui Town, you It's their God!"

This is not an exaggeration.

After all, many villagers live in the villages, and some women have never been to the county town in their lives. There are too many examples of this.

"Okay, listen to you."

"When spring starts and the ground is less frozen, we will start building roads. But you have to buy stones and bricks first. Since we are repairing, we have to make this road last for more than ten years, not just two or three years. It’s not cost-effective to have to overhaul it.”

Lu Daxiong was stunned again.

"We don't need these bricks to build roads."

"Why don't you need it? You do as I said. Anyway, the money is rewarded by God, and we are not greedy for selfishness. When building roads, don't be afraid to spend money. In addition, we not only need to level the ground, but also The ground looks good."

How do you look good?

Lu Daxiong couldn't understand her words at all.

Just building roads, how can there be such a thing as good-looking?

Who would look at a road and appreciate it?

"Okay, let's go to bed first. I'll come up with a detailed plan in the next two days. Then you can recruit some people who don't have food to build roads. Let's take care of two meals."

Lu Daxiong didn't really understand it very well, but he subconsciously felt that what his wife said was right, so he did what she wanted without saying a word.

The plan was worked out very quickly, and it was finally put on the desk of County Magistrate Li on the fifth day of the first lunar month.

Chen Xingyan was very thoughtful. Although she is not short of money now, she still can't be too public about this matter, and can't put all the credit on herself.

Therefore, she proposed that some money and food be approved by the county government, and the rest should be paid by Ruyi Workshop.

Chen Xingyan did this, firstly for the reputation of the Lu family, and secondly, to prevent the Liu family from kidnapping her morally again.

We all know that she has made money here, if Mrs. Liu asks her to borrow money as a aunt, can she say no?
So, it's better to just throw it all out. Anyway, people don't know that she dug up a box of gold, and they just think that it was spent on the money earned by the workshop.

Chen Ke was naturally very happy when he heard that his daughter was going to build a road.

County magistrate Li was not ambiguous, the county government hadn't started work yet, so he promised to give them two carts of grain, and also gave Chen Xingyan the [-] mu of wasteland near Jingyuan.

In this way, it is clear that Jingyuan wants to continue to expand.

County Magistrate Li is still very kind.

If the 1000 mu of wasteland is converted into money, it would cost nearly [-] taels.

Li County Magistrate has long seen that Chen Xingyan wants to increase the size of Jingyuan. As the parent official of a county, he is also happy to see the success of this. He just took this opportunity to give the title deed of the [-] acres of wasteland to him. .

After Chen Xingyan learned of the result, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

This Mr. Li is also shrewd!
The 1000 mu of wasteland could indeed be sold for [-] taels of silver, but the problem was, who would buy these wastelands in Gaoyang County except her?
Even if it is bought, who can guarantee that it will be as elegant and beautiful as Jingyuan?
In this way, Mr. Li not only disposed of the wasteland, but added a piece of merit for land reclamation to the credit book, and without paying any money, he even took the credit for road construction in Qingshui Town.

Tsk, there really isn't a single official who is not evil!

Chen Xingyan slandered for a long time, but in the end he could only accept his fate.

What else can I do?

That is the biggest master in Gaoyang County, besides, he can still get two carts of food, not bad!

Be content!
When Chen Xinglou heard that his sister was going to build a practical and beautiful road, he couldn't help being a little more curious.

After he saw the effect drawing drawn by his sister, he was naturally surprised.

"Sister, are you sure this kind of road can be built?"

"That's natural!"

"But don't you worry that after the road is repaired, someone will dig up these flowers and sell them? They all know that you have made a lot of money because of this, so they will be indifferent?"
