Chapter 13 To get rich, build roads first
The first year of Zhenguan, the eighth day of the seventh month.
Knowing the desperate chirping under the scorching sun, the hot summer breeze can't bring the slightest coolness, but at this time, Youzhou City is in full swing, because of a news: the urban management brigade is going to repair the road.
The idea of building the road was initiated by Xu Yang alone, and he personally contributed 10,000 taels of silver, which was called: to benefit the township.
This heavy news spread all over Youzhou City in an instant, and hundreds of people worshiped this mysterious young man, and it was rumored that this mysterious person was not only kind-hearted, but also young and golden, how much money did he have, just look at the expansion speed of Liu's mansion. Speaking of being young, according to the descendants of the Liu Mansion, this great benevolent man is only one in twenty this year, and he has not married yet. This made those unmarried families in Youzhou regard Xu Yang as a fragrant dumpling
"Brother Xu Yang, this is an invitation from the Fan family in Youzhou" Liu Mengli put an invitation on Xu Yang's table with great vinegar.
"Okay, you can put it there." Xu Yang stared at the screen and said without looking back.
"Brother Xu Yang, can you not go~" Liu Mengli's voice was sour and full of grievances.
"What's wrong?" Xu Yang turned his head and said with a puzzled expression.
I saw Liu Mengli frowning slightly, a pair of beautiful eyes with mist turning, and it seemed that tears would soon flow, only to hear her crisp voice full of grievances: "Obviously, people are the first to know Brother Xu Yang, but now Brother Xu Yang always has to go to other blind dates."
Xu Yang was stunned: "Blind date? What kind of blind date? I didn't say I was going on a blind date? â
Tears were already flickering in Liu Mengli's eyes, "Brother Xu Yang doesn't go on a blind date, why does he always go to the blind date banquet of these families, big liar, woo" After saying that, the crystal tears really dripped down, looking beautiful and moving, which made people feel pity.
Xu Yang was at a loss for a while, I went, how did I know that those families invited me to dinner for a blind date, I thought it was a familiar exchange, now I heard Mengli say, I think of it, these few times the family has eaten, every time these people from these families praise their daughters, and they always knock on the side to see if they have a sweetheart, and those women look at themselves very eagerly.
Liu Mengli is still crying softly, the pear blossoms are raining, and it looks so poignant.
Xu Yang walked up to her, hugged her gently, touched her forehead with his own forehead, and hugged her gently.
Liu Mengli felt a dizziness, from childhood to adulthood, the first time she had contact with the opposite sex so intimately, as if she could smell a male breath, she closed her eyes and enjoyed the moment of tranquility, but her body couldn't stop being paralyzed, and the waist, the man's arm bend made her feel extremely safe and comfortable.
After a long time, Xu Yang separated his forehead from Mengli.
Liu Mengli slowly opened his eyes, only to see the resolute face of the man in front of him facing the sun, as if thinking about something, only to hear him say softly: "Mengli, I won't tell you, I do have a wife, but she is in a very far away place, I may never see her in my life" Xu Yang's eyes fell into memory.
When Liu Mengli heard that Xu Yang was married, she immediately felt a sense of heartbreak, but when she heard Xu Yang say that he would never see his wife again, she felt sorry for Xu Yang again.
"I don't know why I'm here." Xu Yang looked at the sun, his eyes focused. "But since I came, I want to do something, the Han and Tang dynasties, dominate the world, I want all the Chinese people to live a good life, so that future generations of Chinese live in this world with dignity and integrity."
Xu Yang cupped Liu Mengli's delicate little face with both hands and said, "I have my ideals, so I won't deal too much with the love of my children, Mengli, do you understand?" â
Liu Mengli looked at that resolute face, "Brother Xu Yang, I understand, Mengli will always support you." She stood on tiptoe, kissed Xu Yang gently, and then ran out with a blushing face.
Xu Yang was stunned in place, and there was still the fragrance of a girl on his lips "This girl" Xu Yang shook his head and smiled
Under the scorching sun, dozens of men wearing light blue chengguan costumes were waving hoes diligently, and the backbone road of Youzhou City in front of them had been almost cleaned up, and the bluestone roads that had been trampled on all year round had been completely demolished.
"Hello Team Xu!" The chengguan who originally worked stopped what they were doing when they saw a person coming, and saluted.
I saw Xu Yang wearing a light blue chengguan short-sleeved T-shirt, and a chengguan hat that was standard in later generations on his head, which made many chengguan people envious.
"Hehe, it's all free of courtesy, brothers have worked hard, when this last section of the road is finished, I will invite the brothers to drink cold beer!"
When everyone heard this, they were all elated, the refreshing feeling of cold beer was even more comfortable than taking a bath in the lake, and a bottle of cold beer was now sold for 80 taels of silver a bottle in Datang Hotel, which was not very drinkable by ordinary people, but Captain Xu was generous, and he thought that this group was working harder.
Xu Yang looked at these big men who were working hard under the sun, and his face showed a hint of joy.
When he first came to Datang, when he listed his overall plan, having a personal arm to protect himself was written in the second article, and the power came out of the barrel of a gun, and Mao Taizu's words always educated Xu Yang. But how can you legally have a personal protection arm? There is one kind of family, but Xu Yang regards these family, which he has personally trained in private, as the last trump card, similar to special forces.
How can there be a large-scale army, but it can't attract the attention of others, until that day, when Xu Yang was browsing the web, he saw the news that another chengguan beating incident broke out in X City, and a trace of inspiration flashed.
The next day, Xu Yang took a lot of money and visited the stewards of Youzhou City one by one, the Chengguan Brigade, and Shun LĂŹ was established.
What makes the Youzhou leadership team strange is that Xu Yang doesn't want any people from the original yamen, all the people in the urban management brigade are personally selected by Xu Yang, and Xu Yang likes to choose young adults in their twenties who are remote and live a hard life.
Originally, these young men were the only laborers in the family, and the few acres of land in the family were all counted on by them, and the people in the family said that they were not willing to say anything, when Xu Yang promised to give them thirty taels of silver every month, and if they did a good job, they could also be promoted and raised, and there would be bonuses at the end of the month, and these young men were all thrown out
Under the scorching sun, a young man in gray rode a bicycle with two large baskets hanging on both sides of the bicycle, speeding through the crowd, and the surprised eyes of passers-by made him feel extremely proud.
He was originally just an ordinary little handyman in Liufu, and he didn't even have a name, because he was the youngest, and there were seven handymen in the courtyard, everyone called him Liu Qi, that day, when he was dressing the second young grandmother, he accidentally broke a glass of the second young grandmother, and a glass was ten taels of silver, which was simply an astronomical amount for him, and he only had seventy copper coins a month, and the second young grandmother ordered someone to beat him to death.
He still can't forget the scene when he was hung from a tree and two big men wielded whips to whip themselves.
The skin is open, the flesh is blurred, and it is dying.
But the young man, as if descending like a god, said, "What are you doing? How can you hit someone! â
Liu Qi couldn't forget it, the righteous voice, the young man's concerned eyes, "What?!" Because a glass is going to kill someone?! A glass is nothing! It's human life! You can't buy 10,000 glasses! â
Liu Qi couldn't help but burst into tears every time he remembered that scene, "This is human life!" You can't buy 10,000 glasses! Liu Qi burst into tears as soon as he thought of this, and for the first time, he felt that someone would care about his life!
Next, Xu Gongzi treated himself like a relative, personally ordered someone to decoct himself for medicine, waited until his injury was healed, and personally taught himself to learn to ride a bicycle.
Therefore, this life of his own is Xu Gongzi's! Even if Xu Gongzi asked him to go up the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire, he would not hesitate at all!
This time, Xu Gongzi had to bring dozens of bottles of cold beer from the hotel himself.
Thinking of this, Liu Qi accelerated again and rode towards the road repair site
"Everyone~ I tell you~ If you want to get rich, build roads first! This is the same truth since ancient times, we not only have to build roads in Youzhou City, but we also have to build outside, so that the descendants of Datang will all walk on the road we repair! â
Everyone applauded, although Xu Gongzi's words were not like those literati crepes, but they sounded very exciting, making people feel that what he said was like the truth.
"Childe! Son! Cold beerCold beer, I brought it! ~" Liu Qi panted and parked his bicycle at the construction site.
"Haha~ It's Liu Qi~ Look at you, why are you sweating so much, you don't have to ride so fast next time." Xu Yang walked up and touched the young man's head very lovingly.
"Hehe~ Being able to do things for the son, Liu Qi is happy." The boy grinned, revealing an innocent smile.
"Haha~ Okay, good~ Come on, come on~ Let's drink together!" Xu Yang opened the basket, and the basket was full of ice cubes, and there were many beers in glass bottles frozen in the ice cubes
"Ah~ happy!" "Cool!" "Come on, Liu Qi, you can have a bottle too!" "No, no, no, how can the villain be virtuous" "If you want to drink, you will take it!" Liu Qi showed a mouthful of white teeth and a bright smile
