Farmer’s Wife Has Magic Skills

  Chapter 784 784. Going back and forth

   "Everyone has worked hard during this time." Chu Qingzhi collected the four records, and then took out two hundred taels of silver, "I paid for it myself, you can share it."

   Being able to be seen by Chu Qingzhi as a steward, the character is very good, Pei Yuan pushed Chu Qingzhi's hand back, "No girl, we have already taken our wages."

  Chu Qingzhi put the money in Pei Yuan's hands, "You guys deserve it, take it." She helped her a lot, and she should be very grateful.

   After several refusals, everyone took the money.

   None of the five of them are very rich, but they have good character and can read and write. They were selected by Chu Qingzhi to practice this road, and they probably made hundreds of taels of silver, which is considered a step up to the sky.

  Chu Qingzhi said, "Go back, I will go to see the road to the south later."

   "Okay." Pei Yuan and the others have merged into the construction of other roads, and they have to rush back to work.

  The six of them rode fast horses and returned to Shuiyun County.

   It happened by coincidence that just as Chu Qingzhi arrived in Shuiyun County, she met Zhang Feng, the chief manager in the south.

  Zhang Feng looked a little anxious, "Miss Chu, there is something you need to take care of, otherwise the construction period will definitely be delayed."

  Chu Qingzhi said without saying a word, "Lead the way."

"good."

  The two of them rode fast and drove to the south road.

  On the way, Chu Qingzhi knew the ins and outs of the matter.

   This is the road from Shuiyun County to Fengxin County.

  A few days ago, the workers in charge of the survey found that changing the direction of the road could save half an hour of the journey, but it would pass through a village on the way, which would occupy some land.

   Zhang Feng thought that he could save a lot of costs, so he went to the villagers to discuss.

  The negotiation was very good. They bought the land and gave some compensation to the villagers. The two parties signed a contract and gave money.

  But when I went again today, the villagers didn’t recognize it, and it’s not that they didn’t recognize it. They thought that they had given less money, and they blocked the road and asked them to pay more to let them build.

   You know, they have already built a distance of one mile along the newly planned route, and now they have to demolish and rebuild, which costs more than the detour, so Zhang Feng went to the villagers to argue.

  However, there were troublesome people in the poor mountains and rivers, and it didn't make sense. In the end, the government was alarmed. Now the road is blocked and there is no way to build it.

  This village is called Wangjia Village. At this time, all the villagers are blocking the road, and they will not let the construction be done unless they are paid. No matter what you say, they will not be moved.

  The workers who built the road stood opposite the villagers, all looking angry.

  The officers and soldiers stood on one side, trying to persuade them, but no one would listen.

   "Da da da—" the rapid sound of horseshoes came.

  Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, and a beautiful girl in green clothes came into view, with long ink-like hair flying in the air, and a pearl-like complexion, shining brightly.

   It was rare for everyone to unify their opinions. This girl is so beautiful, like a peach blossom in March, blooming beautifully and magnificently.

   "Wow—" Chu Qingzhi dismounted gracefully, came to the villagers with a majestic expression, and asked, "I am their chief manager, Chu Qingzhi, if you have something to tell me."

  Seeing Chu Qingzhi's posture, the arrogance of the villagers suddenly shrank by three pieces.

   The workers and officers and soldiers couldn't help taking a step back. Chu Qingzhi's aura was so strong that they couldn't even raise their heads.

  The villagers pushed the village head out. The head of the village looked 60 years old, and he probably used his brain too much, his hair was all white, and it was very sparse, trembling, and he looked like he would fall if the wind blows.

  The village head looked at Chu Qingzhi for a moment, then said, "Little girl, you should invite your father out, you can't make the decision."

Chu Qingzhi said calmly, "I can be my father's master. If the village chief has something to say, hurry up and say it. I'll give you a stick of incense time to explain things clearly. If you exceed the time of a stick of incense stick, you will be charged 100 per half an hour." The two losses are counted, and all losses will be counted on your village!"

  Wang Ben, a villager in Wangjia Village, shouted loudly, "You are so loud!"

  Chu Qingzhi shifted her eyes to Wang Ben, idiot, who didn't even know how to beat the top bird, and scolded her, "How much money did you take?"

  Wang Ben suddenly became weak, he hesitated and said, "Ten taels of silver."

  Chu Qingzhi asked coldly, "You don't agree with us building the road, do you?"

  Wang Ben bit the bullet and said, "Yes, the silver taels you gave are too little, and our land can harvest a lot of grain."

  Chu Qingzhi didn't argue with the other party, and said directly, "Then please return the thirty taels of silver to us, and we will stop the construction immediately."

  Wang Ben was a little confused, "You gave me ten taels, why should I pay you thirty taels back?"

  Chu Qingzhi revealed the contract, "The contract says that any party who violates the agreement will be compensated three times. Didn't you listen to it?"

   Zhang Yuan stood up behind him, "I made it clear at the time, all three parties were present, and there was no deceit."

  The villagers in Wangjia Village all looked away. They thought that if they joined forces, the other party would have nothing to do with them, but they didn't expect this to happen.

  Chu Qingzhi pointed at Wang Ben, "If you don't build it, you will pay back the money. After a stick of incense, you will pay one hundred taels of compensation. Think carefully."

  A villager next to him said, "We are not convinced!"

  Chu Qingzhi couldn't even look at him, she just had to chase after Wang Mang alone, "Have you considered it? After thinking about it, go home and get the money."

  She put pressure on her secretly, and Wang Mang soon couldn't stand it anymore, and hurriedly said, "Why don't you ask them, but just ask me?"

  Chu Qingzhi looked around with sharp eyes, "I asked you, and I will ask other people, none of them can escape!"

   When the villagers were swept by Chu Qingzhi's eyes, they all avoided their eyes and did not dare to look at her.

  Under the heavy pressure of being targeted, Wang Mang's mentality collapsed, "I don't object anymore, you build it, you build it as you like."

  How could he spit out the money he got, and even paid back twenty taels, absolutely impossible!

   After finishing speaking, he ran away in a hurry, and being targeted by Chu Qingzhi, he felt as if he was about to stop breathing, it was horrible.

  Chu Qingzhi raised her voice and asked, "Who wants to stop?"

  The villagers in Wangjia Village all dodged away, not daring to look directly.

   "I'll count to three, and they'll all leave. I'll let it go!" Chu Qingzhi paused, and said, "One!"

  Some timid villagers turned around and ran away immediately.

"two!"

  The villagers who were watching for a while dragged their families and ran away.

"three!"

   Seeing Chu Qingzhi looking at them, she couldn't help beating her heart, hesitated for a while, and ran away with a huff.

  The white-haired village chief looked around, turned around slowly, and walked away unsteadily.

   Soon, all the villagers blocking the road disappeared.

  The people in the government watched this scene, and secretly expressed their admiration for Chu Qingzhi, and they had to use even more tricky methods to deal with the troublesome people.

  The officers and soldiers headed forward stepped forward and cupped their hands, "Miss Chu, we also bid farewell."

  Chu Qingzhi nodded, "If these villagers make trouble again in the future, or come to destroy the road we built with bad intentions, you, like me, talk to one person. As long as the other party backs down, it will be easy to handle."

  The officers and soldiers responded with a smile, "We remember."

   "Slow down!"

   "Goodbye."
