Chapter 113: Building Roads

Building roads is an idea that Huashan Village has had a long time ago.

If you want to get rich, build roads first.

But Huashan Village is located in the deep mountains, and if you want to connect to the nearest road, there are five or six kilometers, and the mountain road is rugged, and it is not easy to build the road.

The previous village chief also thought about building roads, but how to build them, how to repair them, and who to repair them were all difficult problems.

Every time the whole village was mobilized to build a road, it ended in failure.

Because once the road is built, the villagers not only have to pay, but also have to work hard.

Many families are poor, and giving money is tantamount to giving their lives.

Moreover, there is no subsidy from the state, and a family has to come up with a few thousand yuan, who has so much spare money at that time?

Recently, the state has provided a large amount of funds, and a small part of the remaining part needs to be raised by the villagers, which has greatly reduced the expenditure.

Each person can raise 300 donations according to the head, which is also a large number, especially for those with large populations, which is enough to break the bones.

For this reason, the village chief decided to hold a meeting to discuss the issue of building the road.

..........

One acre of land is not much, and it takes half a day to turn it over.

Looking at the novelty emanating from the scattered purple soil, which was no longer the dry grass desert before, Lin Yu was full of a sense of accomplishment.

"Let's go, let's go home, dig the nest tomorrow and plant potatoes!" Lin Yu patted Yue Laosan on the shoulder and took the lead in the front.

After dinner, Lin Yu began to meditate and cultivate.

The bottleneck of the past two days seems to be showing signs of loosening, and he must hurry up his cultivation.

Swallowing his breath and running the meridians around his body, Lin Yu felt that the internal breath of his body was getting hotter and hotter, and when he was running for a big week, there seemed to be a chord in his mind, which was broken.

The aura poured in from the mind and poured into the whole body.

From a distance, between heaven and earth, a golden pillar of light hung down from mid-air and fell into the eaves.

.....

Dozens of people gathered around the village chief's house, all of whom were in charge of their own families, gathered here for a meeting to discuss the matter of building roads and raising donations.

"Village chief, I have no opinion on building roads, but this fundraising, isn't it too much, three hundred for one person, thirteen people in our family, it's almost four thousand."

"Yes, there are ten people in our family, three thousand!"

"I'm old and can't contribute, but my son and daughter-in-law have ..... money for filial piety."

Everyone is gossiping, and the village chief Wang Lifa is also very worried, some people want to only contribute money, and some people seem to only contribute, and their opinions are not unanimous.

However, how can roads be built without money, and how can roads be built without people.

Five or six miles is not a small project.

"Alright, alright!" Wang Lifa suppressed the noisy crowd, "The road must be repaired, and now the state has paid half of the money to fund the construction of the road, the opportunity is rare, after this village, there will be no such shop." The reason why our Huashan Village is poor is that the roads are impassable. Think about it, how much suffering you have suffered for this journey? ”

"If nothing else, it's all troublesome to sell grain every year, carrying a hundred catties on your back every time, walking a few miles of mountain roads, aren't you tired?"

"However, there are too many donations to raise, and my family really can't get them!" Some people continued to complain, and he took the lead, and the rhythm was deviated again.

"My eldest child goes to school, and the tuition fee is several thousand, where is the money to build roads!"

"My son just got married, and the bride price is not enough, so I still borrowed it from a relative!"

............

Wang Lifa touched his forehead, he had a headache, every time he discussed the issue of road construction, he was always stuck on the word money.

Huashan Village is too poor.

Wang Lifa scratched his brain, and he couldn't solve the problem of poverty.

However, the state funded the construction of roads and ways to improve the current situation of the village, and he did not want to give up.

Sighing lightly, Wang Lifa really didn't know how to convince these villagers.

Everyone in a village, if you look up and don't look down, you can count which family and what the situation, Wang Lifa can count it with his eyes closed.

300 per person, for some families, is indeed a burden.

Do you just give up? Will the plan to build the road once again come to an end?

Wang Lifa looked at the dark night outside the window, and a sense of powerlessness arose in his heart.

But at this moment, he saw a pillar of golden light fall from the nine heavens and descend into the village.

The pillar of light was as thin as a lamp at first, and then gradually became larger, like a giant tree holding up the sky.

"Look, what's that?" Someone with sharp eyes also saw this scene and coaxed.

"Could it be that God wants us to build roads?"

Some people began to doubt, after all, they had never seen such a scene, mysterious things, people always like to think about ghosts and gods.

For a moment, everyone was excited.

"Village chief, since the gods have appeared, my Wang Tiezhu has tightened his belt, and the money for building the road must also be taken out!"

"Good! My family can't eat chaff, and I have to scrape together the money for this road repair! ”

.......

"That's it?" Wang Lifa was a little confused, the matter that had not been discussed after so many meetings was negotiated so easily.

Everyone agreed to build the road, and then they couldn't wait to go out, wanting to find the trace of the pillar of light, but the starry sky was long, and there was any golden pillar of light.

..........

The next day, Wang Lifa began to make accounts, and each household went to collect money.

When he arrived at Lin Yu's house, he had already accumulated piles of change in his purse.

"Xiaoyu, the village decided to build a road, and each person paid three hundred yuan, well, he is ......" Entering Lin Yu's house, Wang Lifa explained his intentions, and asked in surprise when he saw Yue Laosan who was playing with the remote control board.

He remembered that after the death of Lao Lin Tou, Lin Yu was alone in this courtyard, when was there one more big man?

"Well, he's a fool, don't pay attention to him!"

To be able to play with the remote control board for a day alone can indeed be called a fool.

"Oh, then I'll count you according to one person!" Wang Lifa wrote Lin Yu, three hundred, on the notebook, and then opened the purse, revealing piles of change.

The village is poor, not more than three hundred, and there are no less, although it seems to be an integer, but I don't know how many families have made it up with ten dollars and twenty change.

Seeing the thick change, Lin Yu's heart moved.

"Village chief, how much does it cost to build the road?"

Wang Lifa pondered for a moment, "About 100,000 yuan, the village only needs to pay 50,000!" Let's work together, no machinery, it doesn't cost much! ”

"Hmm!" Lin Yu nodded, he thought for a while, and then said, "Village Chief, I'll take one million to build the road!" ”

"Ah, Xiaoyu, what are you talking about!" The village chief suspected he had misheard.

One million is an astronomical amount for the people in the village, Lin Yu has been outside for a year, and he actually casually said the words of one million road repairs, which is too unbelievable.

"Village chief, I'm going to spend 1 million to build roads, all with machinery. The mountain roads are rugged, and it is too dangerous to build the roads manually. ”

The village chief looked at Lin Yu in a daze, and after being sure that he had heard correctly, he began to doubt: "Xiaoyu, where did you get so much money, it won't be ......?"

"Village chief, don't think about it, this money is coming from the right place, don't worry!" Lin Yu glanced at the pile of change in his purse again, and sighed lightly: "It's not easy to return everyone's money." I'll fix this road! ”
