Farmers' group pet: the blessings of powerful ministers are soft and deceitful

Chapter 651 Feedback from the People
Shen Chenlan directly brought Steward Pei back to the house, and Jiang Ning arranged an east wing room for him.

Shen Chenlan went to the yamen on duty during the day, and Jiang Ning also went to see the shed. Both of them had business to do.

Guanshi Pei can't talk to the old couple, but fortunately he doesn't want anyone to serve him, so Shen Chenlan doesn't have to worry about him, and he can just do it himself.

When Guanshi Pei was in Lianxi Academy, Shen Chenlan was relieved to let him do what he wanted.

Manager Pei went out after breakfast, wandered the street for a while, and saw the progress of road construction and the whereabouts of funds written on the bulletin board on the street.

Looking at the place names above, Steward Pei reckoned that this place was not far from Suizhou City, so he just found a horse and went out of the city gate.

Most of the roads in the city are bluestone roads, and he hasn't noticed anything yet.

When I got out of the city, I couldn't help feeling suspicious when I saw the flat road stretching for thousands of miles.

Horseshoes walked on it, rustling the wind, people came in and out of the city in an endless stream, mule carts, horse-drawn carts, and hand-drawn carts, and the faces of the people were filled with thriving smiles.

He couldn't resist getting off his horse, and knelt down to touch the concrete road.

His actions quickly attracted the attention of passers-by people, and some people with a shoulder-carrying load stopped to talk to him: "Little brother, are you from another place?"

Guanshi Pei was stunned for a moment, and then let out a cold "hmm".

The man went on to say, "Haven't you seen the concrete road here? It's easy to go, but the horse's hoof is easy to wear and tear when walking on it. There is a horseshoe repairer seven or eight miles ahead. You can go there to repair the horseshoe." all."

Guanshi Pei responded, "...Thank you."

Then he paused and said, "Your way..."

Speaking of this road, this man talked a lot. He couldn't help but put down the things on his shoulders, and he talked endlessly: "This road is called cement road. Master Shen built it after he arrived in Suizhou. Now it is not only a mule cart, a horse cart It is convenient to walk, we walk with our feet, and it is more comfortable than usual, it used to take less than half an hour to buy some white sugar cakes and sell them in the city, but now half an hour is gone!"

Manager Pei realized that this person was referring to Mr. Shen as Shen Chenlan, and the corners of his mouth were raised slightly.

Seeing Guanshi Pei's expression, the man thought that he didn't know Mr. Shen, so he said: "Mr. Shen, he is a Beijing official sent by the imperial court. He is very extraordinary. I don't know how Mr. Shen has such great powers to figure out this way. Now this road has been repaired for a long time, and it is repaired quickly, and it will not be long before it can be completely repaired."

Guanshi Pei said, "Well, not bad."

The man talked for a long time, heard him hold back the word "not bad", and suddenly felt a little dissatisfied, saying: "Not only did the roads be built, but the 'industrial zone' outside the city also built two large sheds and recruited a lot of people. They said they wanted to plant something extraordinary, and people from my village also went.”

"Big shed?" Steward Pei frowned.

"There are some weird things planted inside. I have never seen it in Suizhou, but the things planted inside grow very fast. I heard that it will bloom within a month after planting, and the flowers will bear fruit in a short time. I guess it won’t be long before it’s harvested.” The man said, “I haven’t seen it yet, but I’ve heard from people in the village who have entered the shed.”

Speaking of this, the white sugar cake seller's tone was a bit regretful: "If I hadn't been late and didn't get in the queue, I would have been able to go in. The shed not only pays wages, but also provides excellent food!"
