"County Lord." Uncle Jiu and Patriarch Xiao did not hold themselves as elders, and they also returned the salute.

Ming's head bowed, "What are the two elders talking about?"

"We came to the county lord to repair the road, and we counted the cement you sent, and there were two hundred and fifty sacks in total; According to the guards you sent, we can only repair the roads in our village; If you want to build the avenue of your peers, it may not be enough." Patriarch Xiao said first.

Uncle Jiu nodded in agreement, "That's true, county lord, are we building the avenue or the road in the clan?"

Ming Wu pondered for a moment, thought about it, and said, "Let's repair the road in the clan first, how much can be repaired on the avenue outside; I'll write another letter to my brother, and ask him to help send another batch over." To do it, you have to do it well.

Two hundred and fifty bags of cement, which is indeed not much; Even dilution will not pave all the roads.

"In that case, you're going to owe a favor again, aren't you?" Patriarch Xiao said.

Ming Wu shook her head, "No, Your Majesty specially ordered the Ji family to produce cement, and the Ji family is the father of my senior brother; As soon as this matter came out, I agreed with the eldest brother that I would call for some cement for my own use, but this time it was not enough, and I would naturally make up for it."

Patriarch Xiao heard that Ming's senior brother's family was powerful and powerful; It's just some cement, people don't pay attention to it at all, just get the will to produce cement can agree to Ming's request, it can be seen that people don't take this material to heart at all.

"In this case, I will ask the county lord; If you don't have enough money, we can't let you go alone." The first batch relied on her to pay the money alone, which was taken out by Ming Wu to give back to the clan, and they did not refuse; The latter batch of them have no face to take advantage of.

"Patriarch Grandpa doesn't have to worry, the raw materials are not expensive, and it doesn't cost much silver." What really requires more money is the manpower and material resources for transportation, "You can rest assured that you can build the roads in the clan first, and repair a book, it will take more than two months to come and go."

It's been too long.

Ming's wife changed her mind and said, "Butler."

"County Lord." Xiao Pingfu was beside him.

"I'll fix a letter at once, and you send it to the post station to expedite it, and give me more silver; I hope it gets it soon." The cement business did not reach Xianyun County, not even the state capital; It can only be ordered by Ji Jin from the capital and called as soon as possible.

When Uncle Jiu and Patriarch Xiao heard this, they took their leave.

After Ming sent them away, she returned to the room and wrote the letter, stuffed it into an envelope, and handed it to Xiao Pingfu.

"Be sure to hurry."

"Yes, county lord."

Xiao Pingfu went out to run errands, Ming Wu sat at the desk and pondered, and Mama Luo stepped forward to put on a thin coat for her, "County Lord, the weather is getting cold, be careful of catching a cold."

The weather in Xianyun County in spring is unpredictable, with morning and evening, and even occasionally suddenly cooler.

"Well, Mama Luo, if I ask the second senior brother to open the cement business here, can I do it?" The stalls were not spread out, and now they are only sold around the capital; If you want to spread the stall directly to Xianyun County, there will be many difficulties.

Mama Luo smiled slightly and said, "County Lord, you already have a promise in your heart, haven't you?"

Ming Wu glanced up at her and bowed her head slightly; The difficulties in it are not something that Cui Changhe's current forces can solve, it's just that he can take his time. ….

And the Xiao clan got Ming's permission, and was anxious about the strong men in the village, and under the guidance of the two guards, he began to repair the road in full swing; All the solid roads of the tribe were not to be trampled on for three days, and after three days, they went up again and tried to walk, and sure enough, they walked on the ground.

"Patriarch, it's easy to use, it's really easy to use."

Some people even pulled the ox cart out, but was stopped by the patriarch, "You can't let the ox cart go up for a short time, at least half a month; During this period, straw is laid every day and water is sprinkled to make the road surface more solid."

"Oh." The clansman who led the ox cart was very happy, but when he looked at the flat cement road, he became excited again, "The county lord is really a good person, he built such a good road for us for free."

With a touch of your hand, the cement road is hard enough.

In just one month, all the roads to and from the clan have been repaired, including the roads in the village; When you go out of the house, everything is clean, and even if it rains, your feet are clean.

The tribesmen cherish the cement road, and when they come back from the field, their feet will be stained with mud; When walking on the cement, I will also wipe the soil on the edge of the nearest cement road, and try not to bring the soil onto the cement road.

The degree of cherishing is beyond Ming's cognition.

After the road in the clan and village was repaired, there were still more than 50 bags of cement left; The dogs repaired a small section of the road leading to the county seat, and the patriarch did not let people continue to work, but waited for the arrival of the next batch of cement.

After waiting for more than a month, a new batch of cement was finally delivered; The day when Ming Wu and Xiao Hongkang participated in the Xiucai test is also close at hand, with Xiao Zhengning as a guarantor and writing a letter of recommendation, they successfully got the reference quota.

The people in the clan and the village began to build the road leading to the county seat, and Ming and Xiao Hongkang sent each other to the county seat at home; Stay in the inn first so as not to delay the exam due to the journey.

Two days later, Ming Wu and Xiao Hongkang stepped into the examination room together, and when they entered, they were faced with a body search and inspection of the luggage they had brought in; This time, Ming Wu learned wisely, and not only brought cakes, but also fried noodles, and cooked noodles can be eaten by soaking them in hot water.

She thought about making instant noodles, but she didn't know how to do it; You can only cope with the simplest fried noodles, and with seasonings, you can cope with it for a few days.

This time, her luck was as good as ever, and she was assigned to the middle of the house; And, Xiao Hongkang ....... He didn't know whether his luck was good or bad, and the house number was only three rooms away from the latrine.

The smell that occasionally flutters, Xiao Hongkang endured and endured; At the same time, he has a strong sympathy for the people of the next three houses, even if he can smell it from time to time, he can comfort himself in his heart, but he is far away, and he doesn't smell much.

The end of the three-day exam.

Ming's wife stretched comfortably, walked out of the entrance examination with the eldest brother, and saw that the eldest brother was pale and haggard with a constipated face, and asked him puzzled.

"Big brother, didn't you sleep well?"

"I can't sleep well, I feel like my whole body smells."

Ming's wife understood, "I haven't taken a bath for three days, it does smell."

Xiao Hongkang looked at her indescribably, this is no longer a matter of not taking a bath for three days; Although I only occasionally drifted a little smell to the test house, but for three days, I couldn't stay up.

Ming Wu looked at him, a thought flashed through her mind, pursed her lips, and asked uncertainly.

"Big brother, you won't be assigned a toilet number, will you?"

"It's a little better than the latrine." It's not that the latrine is good, but it's not as good as the latrine.

Ming Wu guessed a rough idea, and reached out to pat the eldest brother's arm to express comfort; But thinking that he had been smoked for three days, and he couldn't do it anymore, "What, big brother, let's go home quickly."
