"Then let those merchants donate money to build roads, as long as there are donations, they can write their names on another stone tablet, of course, if there are no merchants who donate, the goods can't go that way!" Liu Jixiang continued: "How is it? Isn't this perfect? ”

Li Chen raised his head and pondered, "This is a good idea, I will discuss it with the cause at that time, and if it is feasible, I will implement it, but the stone materials for road construction are not available on our side, what should we do?" ”

"I have a recipe, you can build roads without stones, and the roads built are particularly strong and neat, but you need to use the river sand and pebbles in the river, I asked someone to inquire, we have many rivers here, it should not be a problem!" Liu Jixiang nodded, "If you don't believe it, find someone to find some lime, as well as river sand and pebbles to come back, I will ask someone to build a wall for you, and you will see if it is extremely hard when the time comes?" ”

Although Li Chen believes in the words of the lady, but after all, building the road is a big deal, or seeing is believing, and after his mother made the wall, he showed a surprised look, if there is really this thing [Idea Ke], in addition to building the road can also be used to repair the dam, more importantly, it can strengthen the city wall, this is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people.

"This ......" Li Chen said in surprise, "Do you know that once this thing is made, it will ......?"

"Of course I know, but this is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, you can hand in this recipe when the time comes, our family doesn't need to be rich and rich, just be safe!" Liu Jixiang said lightly.

Li Chen showed a grateful look, on the second day, he began to find someone to repair the road, at first those businessmen thought that it was the new county lord, ready to take the opportunity to collect money, they were ready to break the wealth and eliminate the disaster, and took out a sum of money, and some people were not willing to pay.

Li Chen didn't care about those people, after gathering some villagers, he began to pave the bridge and build the road, the cement road that was paved could not be used immediately, and it could not be put in the sun, first paved with a layer of straw, sprinkled with some water from time to time, and then put away the straw after it was almost dry.

The cement road will not dry out and crack, and it will take a little longer, and after someone walks on it, they will realize the benefits of this cement road, first of all, when it rains, they no longer have to worry about mud on their clothes, and it is easy to transport.

Li Chen is an ambitious person, in addition to the roads in the county seat, he also built a road in other places, and worked hard for a whole year to repair these roads.

Just ask him what he said before, this road was originally a walk, if you want to transport goods, you can, you give a car of goods for a few tens of yuan, although the money is not much, but it is also a lot of income after a long period of accumulation.

However, Li Chen did not swallow this money privately, but found a master who specialized in bookkeeping, and wrote about the purpose of this money, such as the welfare of those officials, the cement road was repaired, but it also had to be maintained every year, and at the same time, a few people were found to clean it.

Because the roads were repaired, there were more people coming and going, and there was more income, but then the headache came, because there were many merchants, and the small market they had before was not enough.

Liu Jixiang first chose a small place, and after they moved the small market there, they began to build a large market with cement roads, and at the same time built a lot of houses, which belonged to the county government, and then rented to others, and the rent collected was also used by the county government to repair things.

After the big market was repaired, Li Chen put a fair statement over there, indicating that the business should be fair and open, and then collect sanitation fees, but this is not a special tax, and they have to dispose of garbage, and they have to ask some special people to clean up, and after everything is done, the whole county has changed greatly.

Liu Jixiang also followed the idleness, and at the same time took a few posts, all of which were posts sent by some businessmen, Liu Jixiang didn't go before, it was because the family was busy, and now she wants to socialize when she is free, and by the way, she knows a few more people.

"Oh, I finally met Mrs. Liu today!"

As soon as he walked in the door, Liu Jixiang was surrounded by those women, and the nice words were one sentence after another, which made people overwhelmed!

Liu Jixiang nodded to them, "I'm really sorry, it's not that I won't come, the main thing is that there are too many things at home, so I have delayed some time, and I apologize to you!" ”

"Mrs. Liu, you are polite, what are your crimes? You haven't been busy helping the county master deal with some things during this time, we all keep it in mind, if it weren't for you and the county lord, where would our county develop so well? A woman complimented.

Although Liu Jixiang knew that there was a little water in this sentence, he was still very happy and said with a smile when he was complimented by others: "What can I do as a woman?" I'm just doing a little favor! ”

"How can you say it's a small favor? We all keep the credit of Mrs. in our hearts, since there is this cement road to and from the traffic is also convenient, like those expensive fabrics before, there are some expensive spices, now they are very cheap, the whole county is clean and beautiful, others are very envious of our county! A lady covered her mouth and smiled, "Madam, we have nothing to thank you for, so everyone pooled some money and specially gave you something, you must accept it!" ”

Liu Jixiang's face changed If he really accepted this thing, it would really be a bribe, but if he didn't accept it, it would be tantamount to offending those ladies, she smiled at them, "You guys are really polite, it's just that I did what I should do, I didn't expect you to give me something, but I can't send it, otherwise it won't sound good, and the names of the ladies will not sound good!" ”

The faces of several ladies have changed, and this Mrs. Niu refuses to accept his things, is it possible that she doesn't want to make friends with them?

Liu Jixiang looked at their faces and immediately said: "But don't accept this thing, and waste the kindness of the ladies, so let's do it, I've been thinking about one thing for a while, there are many orphans in our county, and there are many lonely and widowed old people, I want to build a welfare home to take in those homeless people, although I can't give them delicious food, but there are still some places to shelter from the wind and rain!"

But it's hard for a good woman to cook without rice, I don't have any silver in my hand, and I don't have a place to put it, so I have a headache! ”
