"Little Joe, what's going on?" Luo Jinrong also came up, and everyone in the village knew that he had gone to Cai's house today, and he had only come back now, and several people were waiting at the entrance of the village.

"It's no big deal, if you encounter a frightened horse, it can be regarded as a thrilling danger", Luo Xiaoqiao explained a few words briefly.

"Is it eyeing you or is it a coincidence?" Luo Jinrong asked.

"I don't know this yet, it feels like a coincidence", Luo Xiaoqiao doesn't feel that she has anything worth thinking about so much, she hides it well, the Hong family has also fallen, and the Luo family's industry is not so eye-catching. I'm afraid she strayed into someone else's game.

"By the way, the Cai family is going to help us build the road, I'll say hello to everyone first", Luo Xiaoqiao threw out another piece of good news, which immediately attracted a small part of the attention of the masses.

"Yo, that's good, this batch of new houses in our village is about to be completed, and we are discussing a good day to go to the beam", the white sister-in-law also smiled, "This road is going to be repaired together, hey, we don't know how to tell my mother's concubine, but I envy them."

"Aunt Bai, look at your little bit of talent", Aunt Niu laughed at her loudly.

"You are out, who took the flower cloth back to his mother's house a few days ago to show off? When I don't know what's going on? Aunt Bai glanced at her unconvinced.

Liu Yongchang also crowded into the crowd, listening to their chattering discussion, seeing that the girl didn't cast her eyes at all, her eyes were suddenly full of coldness.

It seems that she can't get Luo Xiaoni's heart, a woman can't look down on him with an iron heart, what should I do? Give up the fat to the mouth? How can it be?

How many scholars in the world want to be officials? But what do officials do? There are only a few fat differences, and if he has the opportunity to take shortcuts, he will not be stupid enough to give up.

"Mother, in a few days, you will go to see your cousin, don't you have a girl in her family? Take her over for a few days. Liu Yongchang suddenly spoke.

"What are you doing with her?" Aunt Liu is very unhappy, her niece, in addition to looking better, also relying on the status of an official family, lazy and greedy, if she comes over, she has to eat and drink from their family, why.

"Didn't Luo Xiaoni and Luo Zhiping get married? If Luo Zhiping changes his mind, mother, what do you think they can do? Liu Yongchang asked with a smile.

Wang shrank in the back, didn't Xianggong think? It can't be what she thinks, right?

"What are you going to do?" Aunt Liu shouted out in a snort, "That family is not a good thing, don't touch it." ”

"Do what Yongchang says, what kind of mouth?" Liu Laohan didn't pretend to be honest at this time, and seemed to understand his son's plan. Their Liu family is about to get up, and his son is so smart, he won't be able to suffer losses in the future, besides, he has long been interested in Xiao Ni's girl's diligence.

"Okay, I'll check it out in a few days." Aunt Liu agreed in a babbling manner.

"Xianggong, ...... you" Wang looked at Liu Yongchang with tears in his eyes.

"Don't worry, I won't leave you", Liu Yongchang looked at her obviously old, and his hands were full of work, but he couldn't bear it.

"Thank you for saving the prince today", after everyone dispersed, Luo Xiaoqiao let people into the house, and said very gratefully: "Why don't you stay in our farmhouse to eat?" Try our specialty? ”

"Hmm", Mu Jingyi actually nodded rarely.

Luo Xiaoni went down to prepare when she heard this, Luo Fugui and they brought a lot of game during the day, and today's meal was much more sumptuous than usual. There are a lot of braised pork at home, and the shallots and pineapples grown by themselves are just right, and the cucumbers are picked from the vegetable garden, and the cold salad is very good.

After a while, pickled wild eel, stir-fried wild pheasant, stir-fried pig's trotters with mushrooms, crispy bone and meat, and fried leeks,...... One dish after another came up.

Several of the guards ate hand-rolled noodles. Luo Xiaoni's hand-rolled noodles were strong, coupled with the carefully prepared sesame sauce, and several people devoured it.

Luo Xiaoqiao prepared a separate table for King Jing, who would have thought that he had just raised his chopsticks and saw that the people at their table were talking enthusiastically, and he actually came over silently with a bowl.

Everyone in the Luo family was a little surprised, Luo Xiaoqiao was stunned for a moment, then beckoned him to sit down, and talked about today's experience on one side, and everyone in the Luo family who listened to it was immediately very grateful to King Jing.

Grandpa Luo was still trembling, but when he heard it at this time, he couldn't care about the difference in status anymore, and persuaded the dish diligently......

For the first time, Mu Jingyi felt that eating could be so pleasant, and the peasant dishes were so delicious, but what was delicious was not only the rice, but also the faint warmth.

On the second day, there were people standing next to the government announcement.

"King Jing said that the road is going to be repaired", an old farmer was a little puzzled: "What kind of road to build, we all live in the village, what is the use of building a road?" ”

"It doesn't matter, anyway, give money and make a living doing more work, aren't you happy?" The black-faced man next to him looked at him and said.

Compared with ordinary people, this announcement has a greater impact on businessmen.

Merchants are rich, but their status is extreme, once they fall into the merchant status, don't think about the imperial examination, and even their children and grandchildren can't take the imperial examination, and they feel inferior everywhere. Therefore, many businessmen have tried their best to avoid being registered as a businessman.

Although this announcement did not explicitly say that the status of merchants would be improved, it did say that they would make meritorious monuments to those who donated money to build roads. And even the budget was out, nine thousand taels of silver a mile, even if it could not be repaired, it was promised to erect an inscription.

This is even more exaggerated, build a mile of land? What is the concept, let alone nine thousand taels, even one hundred thousand taels, and it may not be able to be repaired, after all, bluestone, transportation, earthwork, and labor ...... It's definitely more than that.

What does King Jing have to do with it?

But no matter what he did, the merchants gathered together and thought about it, and felt that it was a good thing for them, no matter how they looked at it.

The merit monument, the merit monument erected in the name of the government, is a shining future. There is an old man who has no care about anything at home, and he has to be taken by someone to take him, and he went to the government to see it in person, and he made up his mind when he came back.

Not only the local merchants in the Northland, but even the merchants from other places heard about it and rushed to Xingcheng to participate.

For a time, the reception officials of Honglu Temple ushered in the delivery every day, and they were busy.

Luo Xiaoqiao had expected these for a long time, and she suggested that King Jing should use his own people in the reception staff and serve with a smile, so that in the face of this touching benefit, there were countless businessmen who came to register one after another.

Luo Xiaoqiao also suggested that the road construction should be determined through the China Merchants Association, although everyone didn't understand what it was, but they couldn't stop their enthusiasm. There were still a few days before the China Merchants Conference was held, and the inns of all sizes in Xingcheng were already full of businessmen with different accents.

They got together in twos and threes, and the topics were where and how to build the road? I'm going to write a biography of myself or something, and my words are full of excitement.
