"Brother-in-law, do you have something on your mind?" Pei Yuantong suddenly walked up to him and whispered.

Li De glanced at him and noticed that there was something strange in Duofang's tone, as if he was tempting.

Chen Xuanhua was curious when he heard it, the secret is irresistibly attractive, and naturally he leaned his ears over unnaturally.

"I'm a man with a story and a lot on my mind, you want to know?" Li Dexu said with a matter-of-fact look.

Pei Yuantong didn't want to fake when he saw Li De's appearance, and said in his heart that his sister was going to say this deliberately before he went out, but the next situation was completely unexpected by him, how to pick it up.

"What's the story, tell me quickly." Chen Xuanhua suddenly spoke out of place, which immediately resolved Pei Yuantong's embarrassment.

"Miss Xuanhua is really curious." Li De said casually.

Chen Xuanhua didn't understand the meaning of Li De's words at all, and helped Pei Yuantong relieve the siege in vain, waiting for Li De to tell the story stupidly.

Pei Yuantong is very knowledgeable, since he didn't turn his face, just complete the task of going down the mountain today, as for the fear of Li De's escape told by his sister, he didn't think about it.

"The environment is really good, there are mountains and waters, do you usually take water from the river?" Li De changed the subject.

"There will be reserves of river water in Shituo Village, but we usually use mountain stream spring water." Pei Yuantong replied.

"Mountain spring, I didn't expect Shituo Village to be a good place, good mountains and good water, if you build it well, it will be a good scenery." Li Dedao.

"What's so special about the mountain spring," Chen Xuanhua said casually when he felt bored.

"The mountain spring is sweet and delicious, and it can be good for diarrhea, boredom and vomiting, don't you say it's special?" Li De asked rhetorically.

"Really?" The first time Chen Xuanhua heard that the spring water in the mountains had these effects, he suddenly found that Li De seemed to be a little erudite.

"Brother-in-law, what you said is true?" Pei Yuantong asked honestly.

Looking at his appearance, he obviously didn't believe it, the people on the mountain usually drank it, and they didn't see any special effect, but it was sweet and refreshing.

"Of course." Li De affirmed.

He didn't say that not all mountain spring water is non-toxic, whether it is poisonous or not depends on the environment around the mountain spring to judge, if there is black soil, evil weeds, it must not be drinkable.

"My brother-in-law knows a lot." Pei Yuantong complimented.

"Read 10,000 books and travel 10,000 miles, and your knowledge will naturally increase." Li De is serious.

"If you say it as if it's true, who knows if you're saying it or not?"

Chen Xuanhua couldn't see Li De's smug appearance the most, and immediately started to scold, I really don't know where her resentment came from.

"Li Shizhen said, let me tell you do you know?" Li De complained in his heart, his face was calm and waveless, and he ignored the doubts in the face of believing or not believing in it.

He won't argue with people who have a gap of thousands of years, isn't it good to be idle.

"We're here to see the section of the road." Pei Yuantong said suddenly.

The group finally stopped, walked a long way away from the cottage, and then turned back to see the slope of the mountain, and the continent up and down the mountain happened to be the road connecting the road.

A triangular fork is formed directly, the left side goes up the hill, the right side is the normal road, or go back the same way and look for the previous intersection to turn around.

The road section is obvious, the geographical advantage is obvious, as long as you cut off a section of the road, the mountains and forests are dense next to it, and you want to detour from the side, unless you go over the mountains.

It is really not a simple matter for ordinary people, and the passing carriage cannot move forward at all, except for retreat, the road is not wide to retreat, at least it takes some twists and turns to turn.

"The road is not smooth, easy to defend and difficult to attack." Li De looked at this section of the road with a strategic vision and said casually.

"Shituozhai can block thousands of troops and horses with such a geographical advantage, my father and sister mean that the dangerous sections of the road down the mountain need to be retained, and the specific planning brother-in-law should see what to do?" Pei Yuan channel.

Li De knew that his advice was at most used as a reference, and the purpose of his suggestion to build the road was very simple to delay time, and theoretically it could be repaired in any way, without any need to be entangled.

"No!" Li De immediately said solemnly.

"What's wrong?" Pei Yuantong said in surprise.

"Let me ask you, what is the purpose of building the road?" Li De asked.

"Of course, you can receive money without provoking the yamen." Pei Yuantong replied honestly.

"That's right, you see, if you leave a dangerous section, although you can realistically have a real number of people, if you really encounter thousands of troops, with Shituo Village, I'm afraid you can only delay for a while, and you can't avoid the final fall, and since you choose to be above board, why do you want to put the cart before the horse."

Li De explained that his idea is very simple, whitewashing, changing business projects, building cottages in an open and honest manner, and keeping dangerous intersections or something.

If he had to run away, it would be difficult for him to escape, and all of them would be included in the planned road section, which would increase the amount of work, effectively pull out the obstacles of the terrain and delay the construction period, so why not.

However, if you want to talk about the Pei family, you need some reasonable reasons.

As he said just now.

"What my brother-in-law said makes a lot of sense, but it's ......"

Pei Yuantong didn't say the reason for a long time, the matter was beyond the scope of what he could decide, and he really didn't have a good idea for a while, and the other point was that he felt that what Li De said was right.

"Okay, don't be embarrassed, I'll check it out, and let my father-in-law make a decision when I go back." Li De saw his embarrassed look and immediately said.

"That's right, it's still my brother-in-law who is smart." Pei Yuantong said with a smile.

He didn't know about such a thing, he didn't think about it for a while.

The group traveled at the intersection and the road to be corrected, and walked for five or six miles, and it was the most tiring to stop and go, and soon Chen Xuanhua couldn't support it first, and said that he had to stop and rest.

As a woman, a guest of Shituo Village, Pei Yuantong did not refuse, it was nothing more than a little more delay at the bottom of the mountain.

Li De checked very carefully, he was preparing for himself, the geographical advantage of Shituo Village is really good, a road is densely covered with mountains and forests, forming a natural barrier, and it is really necessary to arrange archers, rolling logs, and falling rocks on both sides of the mountain, and it is easy to defend and difficult to attack no matter how many people come.

Invisibly increased the trouble of widening the road, judging from this road, it is said that Shituozhai usually has no business to come to the door, such a narrow road, if he will definitely not go.

At that time, he really took this path because he was not familiar with it at all and went astray.

Li De held a serious and responsible attitude, and took advantage of the rest to study the map with Pei Yuantong, and after Pei Yuantong's explanation, he had some understanding of the strange map.

The complete conceptual road topographic map, after Pei Yuantong's description, can barely guess a rough idea.

"Ten miles ahead is the village, which is inhabited by about a few thousand people, and it is the place where the market is built, not too far from the town." Pei Yuantong introduced.

"Ten miles, twenty miles, twenty-five miles...... Li De calculated in his heart, the distance from the town to Shituo Village, estimated, at least about thirty miles.
