Gao Deli, male, 43 years old, former landlord of Gaotun Town, later responded to the government's call to sell land to open a factory in Xindu County, and now Mr. Gao Deli has a textile factory and a match factory under his name, employing nearly 1,000 people......"

Coupled with a full-body photo of Gao Deli, as the headline of the 16th issue of the "China Daily" issued on August 1, Gao Deli's name spread all over the streets.

From ancient times to the present, "being unkind to the rich" is one of the deepest impressions of the people at the bottom of society on the rich.

One side is the ordinary people, the other side is the rich, most of the rich people rely on the exploitation of ordinary people to obtain wealth, so the ordinary people are the most disgusted with the rich, especially the landlords.

Of course, the former landlord is still good, at least the tenants who depend on him will not starve.

Some rich people earn money "cleanly", they don't want others to say that they are "unkind to the rich", and want a good reputation, so there are often rich people who give porridge, build bridges, build roads, etc., so that the common people know that they are not "unkind to the rich", but a good person, a good person, but sometimes there are rich people who are "unkind to the rich" to do this, disguise themselves.

And Gao Deli donated money to build roads belongs to the former.

In Gao Deli's hometown Gaotun Town, Gao Deli has a good reputation, and the people praise Gao Deli as a great good person, especially the common people who have been the tenants of the Gao family, if they encounter a disaster year, Gao Deli will also take the initiative to reduce the rent, and when the tenants and even the surrounding people have no food to eat, as long as they ask the Gao family for help, Gao Deli will give some food to let them continue to live.

In June 83, Yan Xueyi led the powerful Han army to seize the ruling power of Siqi from the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and a landlord like Gao Deli, who had a good reputation, did not oppress the people, and did not do evil things, would not be punished in any way.

Subsequently, the Han Kingdom was established, and governments at all levels began to have conditions to recover the excess land in the hands of the landlords.

More than a year and a half have passed, and the two factories under the name of Gao Deli have already been completed and officially started, bringing rich profits to Gao Deli every month.

At this time, Xindu County began to build roads to other cities, and the route from Xindu County to its subordinate towns was not included in the road construction plan.

Although Gao Deli built a factory outside Xindu County, he lived in Xindu County for nearly half of the year, but the remaining half of the time would return to Gaotun Town to live, but the dirt road from Gaotun Town to Xindu County made Gao Deli very disgusted, even if the road was repaired, it would return to the original state after a few rains.

Seeing the cement roads built by Xindu County to other cities, Gao Deli's eyes suddenly lit up: building a cement road from Xindu County to Gaotun Town is not over, but I don't know how much silver it will cost to build this cement road.

After some understanding, Gao Deli found that he could still afford the cost of building this nearly 11-kilometer-long cement road, after all, there were two factories that were constantly creating wealth for him, which was enough to support Gao Deli to build this cement road.

After deciding to build the concrete road, Gao Deli sought help from the Xindu county government.

As soon as the Xindu County Government heard Gao Deli's idea, it immediately expressed its support, and the Xindu County Government would try its best to help solve the difficulties, and the Xindu County Government also reported this matter to the superiors, and finally appeared in front of Yan Xueyi.

Yan Xueyi thought about it for a while, and suddenly had a good idea: if a private person donates money to build a road, he can name the road after himself, so that the name of the person who built the road will be passed down with the road he built, will this attract more people to donate money to build the road? (Gao Deli spent his own money to build the road, and finally the road was managed by the Ministry of Transportation, so it can also be said to donate money to build the road)

At the same time, Yan Xueyi also ordered a reporter from Zhonghua Daily to go to Xindu County to interview Gao Deli, preparing to set Gao Deli as a model, so that the common people under his rule would know about Gao Deli, and the most important thing was to let those rich people know about it, so that they could spontaneously donate money to build roads.

On August 1st, the sixteenth issue of "China Daily" was officially launched, after a period of fermentation, most of the people knew that there was a great benevolent man named Gao Deli in Xindu County, Chengdu City, who donated money to build a cement road, and this road was named "Gao Deli Road".

Ordinary people praised one after another, but more people were wondering why there was no such good person in their hometown.

However, when other rich people saw this news, many people were moved, who doesn't want to be famous in history?

It's just that it's too difficult to leave a name in history, but it feels good to let your name go down with the roads you built like building roads.

Immediately after Gao Deli, the richest man in Lushan County, Qian Xingye, the second to donate money to repair the road, and one repair is three, one is named after Qian Xingye's father, one is named after Qian Xingye's mother, and the last one is naturally named after himself.

Although none of the three roads that Qian Xingye planned to build was longer than Gaodeli Road, the length of the three roads together was almost twice that of Gaodeli Road.

After that, the matter of Qian Xingye's construction of three roads quickly spread throughout Lushan County, and it was more widely spread than the name of the richest man in Lushan County.

In addition to praising Qian Xingye as a good person, the people of Lushan County also praised Qian Xingye as a great filial son, after all, Qian Xingye wants to build three roads, the first two are named after his parents, such a thing in the eyes of others, Qian Xingye is a filial son.

Other wealthy people in Lushan County saw that Qian Xingye took the lead and became famous, and they regretted that they were one step late, but they still announced that they would donate money to build roads, although their reputation would not be as widespread as Qian Xingye, the first to announce the construction of roads in Lushan County, but it would still make their fame spread among a small number of people, especially pedestrians who walked through the roads they built.

For the actions of the rich people in Lushan County, the most surprising thing is the Lushan County Government, especially Yan Xueyi's inadvertent sentence "If you want to get rich, build roads first", let everyone know that more roads must be built, but the Lushan County Government cannot start building roads from Lushan County to various towns for the time being.

Who knew the surprise would come so suddenly.
