The rich gentry looked puzzled and said, "I'll tell you, madam. I have something to say."

Su Wanping looked at one of the rich gentry, who played a leading role and was also a versatile man. He immediately said, "we pay for road construction, labor and money. If we only build roads, we will not have any profit. Of course, we also get some money for the common people, but only a few of us will pay for it."

Su Wanping raised his hand. "It is very clear in the agreement that if you are willing to build roads, all the pavements and inns on both sides of the road will be covered by the participants."

"It was originally intended to collect road tolls, but in this way, the people suffer. My original intention was not like this. However, I calculated that the income of the Inn and restaurant was a considerable amount. Of course, you can not repair the road, and those who are not willing to build the road can sign on it. But in this way, we can't do business on both sides of the road in the future It's agreed in advance. "

Su Wanping's words made the rich gentry in these places ponder whether to build roads or not? Can the investment in the early stage of road construction be ignored afterwards?

Su Wanping let the rich gentry discuss with each other. She always does what you like and what I want.

After a while, most of the rich gentry were willing to build roads, so they signed agreements one after another. The remaining few who were not willing to build roads would sign the agreement and could not do business around the newly built official roads.

Su Wanping was in a good mood. After the banquet was over, he could start now. The rich gentry who built the road organized the bookkeepers to keep accounts, and then asked local craftsmen for help.

Seeing everyone off, Su Wanping and Shi Ye are in the study together. Shiye can't help asking why she doesn't charge the toll again.

Su Wanping thought for a moment and said, "if the toll is really collected, I'm afraid I will be impeached in the court. They just can't catch my handle. However, I'll change my way. If Xike comes to do business on this road in the future, who dares to say half a word, and when the price is fair, who comes will be the same, it will be even harder to say me."

"The rich gentry in these places had seen me build Meiling mountain. I heard from Mrs. du that many of them were watching. If I made money in the future, they would be envious. So I asked them to repair the rest of the road. In this way, everyone would make a profit. In fact, we did not make any effort to transform Lingnan into a better and better place and the people would live a prosperous life in the future Now that the roads are interlinked, they are no longer called the land of Huawai by the Central Plains. "

When ye finds out that his daughter-in-law is really a person with so many ideas.

With the participation of these rich gentry, the roads in Meiling county began to be built. There was a shortage of craftsmen, and craftsmen from all over the country came one after another.

At this time, Hua Ying and Wei Cheng, who were patrolling the sea, met at the shoal. They drank wine together and were thinking of taking a rest for half a day. They did not expect that they saw a large merchant ship in the distance, but there was no flag on it. They noticed that all the merchants who went to and fro were flag bearers. This is a common practice and is not easy to be injured by accident.

Especially if there are bandits around here, you will probably avoid it if you see which family it is.

So they did not drink wine, and drove the boat to follow up.

It was getting dark and the tide was rising. The sea was no longer calm. Many people were standing on the merchant ship. Wei Cheng and Hua should see that they were more and more puzzled.

Is this a man sent by the state of Wu and Yue? Is this a sneak attack? Look, it's going to the direction of Meiling county. Did you come to attack Meiling county?

When it was dark, the ships of the other side actually found a shelter to stop at. Huaying and Wei Chengdu couldn't help laughing. There were also those who sailed in such a way that they shouldn't take the fast driving at night to sneak attack. How can you look at them? They seem very afraid of sailing at night.

The sea is not calm at night. If you are not familiar with this area, you can't bear it. However, seeing that there are many guards above, how can it be an ordinary merchant ship.

So their boat pulled in nearby.

Hua Ying and Wei Cheng jumped into the water with several sailors and swam to this side.

It was Kong fanze who was sitting on the merchant ship. After he killed the steward of the merchant ship, he took the sailors of the ship forward. At first, these sailors would rather die than surrender. After they killed a small number of people cruelly, they finally reached a timid agreement. It is a pity that he killed the captain by mistake when he killed the captain. Therefore, the sailor's sense of direction in distinguishing was worse.

One night, he went too far, so Kong fanze had to order that the boat should not be used at night, so as not to deviate. It was supposed that they should have arrived in Meiling county.

Kong fanze was depressed. If he had followed his temper in the capital, he would have killed these useless people with a knife, but this was on the sea. They had to keep these people, otherwise they would not know the nature of water, which would be a big problem.

At night, a team of guards was left to patrol, and the others went to rest.

Kong fanze couldn't sleep well these days. He felt sleepy and fell asleep.

Hua Ying and Wei Cheng swim to the bottom of the ship. Several people emerge from the water. Looking up, they see that a guard passes by the railing.

So they sank back into the water.

This time, Hua Ying and Wei Cheng confirmed that the soldiers were coming from Wu and Yue. In this sea area, it was not far away from Wu and Yue.So they took the sailors to cut through the bottom of the boat. Then they swam away and watched in the water.

After a while, someone from above began to scream. The bottom of the boat was chiseled through and the water came in.

Kongfanze was woken up, he immediately turned over and turned white when he heard that the boat was in the water.

The sailors, who had been under their control before, jumped into the water to escape in the chaos.

When Kong fanze had no time to put on his clothes, he ordered to shoot arrows into the water, and he had to kill these people.

After a few arrows, the water was stained with blood, but many sailors escaped.

Kong fanze was extremely corrupt.

When Hua Ying and Wei Cheng saw this scene in the water and grass, they didn't know. So, there was something wrong with the ship, but after they cut through the bottom of the boat, they made a mess of the top. Who were the people on the top.

Hua Ying was going to swim forward to see him. Wei Cheng held him. "Don't send it. It's obvious that someone on the boat has escaped. Now when you see a figure in the water, you must shoot an arrow. Let's wait and see what happens."

So they hid in the grass and did not move.

Kong fanze, whose clothes were not neat, ordered the guards of the Kong family to repair the ship. This was to piss him off. How could it be so difficult to fight on the water? If he was put on the land, he would have to kill these sailors. It was disgusting.

After busy in the middle of the night, the sailor ran away, leaving only one coward. Fortunately, he had been floating on the ship for many years. Now he drove the ducks on the shelf and was about to leave.
