Chapter 90: Building Roads
Cheng Lin Changhan said with a smile: "I also thought about building roads, but I can repair them from our village to Taiping Town, and the silver money required is still more than half." ”
Wei Xi thought for a moment and asked Yan Gou: "I remember that a wealthy businessman funded the construction of roads and monuments in the previous dynasty, do you remember?" ”
Yan thought about it, and also felt empowered, and said happily: "This is indeed the case!" If this can be done, the problem of road construction will be solved! ”
Xianghua listened to Yan Gou explain this matter in detail, and said with a smile: "This is indeed a good idea. It is profitable for businessmen to cultivate official roads, which is convenient for doing business and has a good reputation, but we don't make so much money on this part of the road, and it is estimated that it is a little difficult. ”
Wei Xi nodded and said, "Miss Xianghua is reasonable. This really needs to be thought about. ”
Yan Gou was silent for a while and said, "It's better to ...... Ask Xiangmanlou? ”
Xianghuajia and Xiangmanlou have indeed established a long-term cooperative relationship, and after the promotion of pepper planting in the future, the two sides will have more exchanges, and road construction will also be beneficial to them. But to pay so much money for this, Xianghua is a little painful for Qian Xiaoman.
"They should be willing to pay, but they have too much, right?"
Wei Xi thought for a moment and said, "I have a way, maybe I can give it a try." ”
All eyes were on him.
Wei Xi spread out a piece of paper and drew a circle in the center with a pen, "This is Qingshan Village", and drew two circles next to it, representing Baishi Village and Huangni Village respectively.
With a few strokes between these three circles, he drew the Qingshui River and several roads, and the town of Taiping also appeared.
Then, at a distance from the three villages, Wei Xi drew another large circle.
Xianghua asked, "Where is this?" ”
"Western Xinjiang." Taro replied, "The place where General Zhao is guarding is a little above this. ”
Xianghua sighed and continued to look.
Wei Xi smiled, and then painted the one behind. He used his pen to connect the road between Qingshan Village and Taiping Town, and aggravated the section of road between Baishi Village and Qingshan Village.
When Taro saw Xianghua looking at him, he explained: "This is an official road to Western Xinjiang, but Western Xinjiang is more peaceful than Northern Xinjiang, and there are fewer people living there, so it has not been repaired much." ”
After Wei Xi finished drawing, he continued: "Brother Taro is right. Although this official road cannot be directly connected to Qingshan Village, it is not far away, and the government and wealthy businessmen funded the construction of the official road, and your family funded the repair of the remaining section of the road, I think it should be enough. ”
Cheng Linchang said happily: "Enough is enough!" I know how long this road is, and it will be completed by next summer at the latest! ”
Xianghua stared at the map, and after a while, she said, "It turns out that we are so close to the Western Frontier. ”
Yan Gou smiled: "It's not close, it's not far." But it is also because of this that General Zhao Xiao can come to you from time to time. ”
Xianghua nodded, but her expression was a little preoccupied.
After dinner, Taro asked Xianghua to go out for a walk together.
Taro asked, "Everyone is happy to be able to build the road, why are you unhappy?" ”
Xianghua smiled, "Who is not happy?" It's just that I feel so close to the Huns is weird and scary. ”
According to Zhao Xu, the king of Zhongshun will definitely have actions in the future, if General Zhao is unwilling to follow his wishes, he will be ruthless and the Huns should cooperate with the outside world, and at that time, under the nest, there will be eggs?
Taro saw that she dared to think and do everything she could, but if she neglected her, she would be afraid and uneasy, and the desire to protect her heart surged, and she almost wanted to hug her.
was about to move, but heard Xianghua say "arrived".
Taro turned his head and saw that it was the familiar Eagle Rock.
"Get here and do ......"
"May the world be peaceful, bastards get out!" Xianghua put her hands to her mouth and made a small trumpet, and shouted loudly.
Taro was stunned, then laughed aloud.
Xianghua shouted tired and turned her head to look at him: "What are you laughing at?" ”
"It's you who laughs."
"Huh?"
Taro smiled and looked into the distance, "With General Zhao here, you don't have to worry about the invasion of foreign thieves." Even if he is gone, there will be other great generals. Even if these generals are useless, you still have your father, me, and Donglin, and you won't let the sky fall. ”
Xianghua's ears turned red, and she whispered, "It's like you'll stay here forever." ”
Taro smiled wryly.
After more than a year, he finally gradually came out of his mother's death. Looking back at those days, if he hadn't met Xianghua and insisted on revenge, he would have gotten rid of the bones at this time.
He kept his mother's hatred in his heart, and when he took revenge, he would be able to tell her his heart in a dignified manner.
Xianghua knew his embarrassment, pursed her lips and smiled: "Now it is a battle between the two tigers, if the King of Zhongshun is defeated by the King of Righteousness, it will also help you take revenge." ”
"You don't seem to like the King of Loyalty?" Taro asked with a smile.
Xianghua said: "I heard General Zhao Xiao say some things, and I don't think he is like a good person. And nine times out of ten, he can't get out of your mother's affairs. Thinking about it this way, who has a crush on him? ”
Taro looked at her with a smile: "What about Weiping?" ”
"Weiping ......" Xianghua frowned and thought for a while, "He is picky and picky, and he is difficult to serve." I can't see anything else. But it is said that it is born from the heart, and he looks like that, so it can't be bad, right? ”
Taro didn't like her praise Weiping, and reminded you: "Don't forget that there are also the words 'well-dressed beast' and 'human-faced beast'." ”
But the animals I know are also very good, Xianghua said secretly in her heart.
"But you're right, if the King of Righteousness wins, King Zhongshun will naturally have no good fruit to eat, and the same is true for Weiping." Taro said with a smile.
Xianghua tilted her head and looked at him for a while, and suddenly asked, "Wei Xi...... Do you know who you are? ”
Taro's heart jumped, and he still pretended to be calm on his face: "Why do you ask that?" ”
Xianghua's big eyes sparkled, "You are very jealous of Wei Ping, you have to relax a lot in front of Wei Xi, today you are still talking about the official way in front of him, even if you pull my mother's guise, this is strange enough." ”
Taro recalled those words, and felt that he was a little reckless, but fortunately, he was not an outsider, and Wei Xi also made his attitude clear.
"So he really guessed?" Xianghua asked in shock.
Taro grinned: "I thought you were pretending to be asleep in the carriage that day, and quietly listened to my conversation with him." ”
"What did you say? I slept so deeply that day that my neck still hurt when I woke up. Xianghua rubbed her neck.
"He knows I'm not a relative of your mother's side."
"Why?" Xianghua was a little flustered, "Does he know your true identity?" ”
Taro smiled and shook his head.
"He said he hadn't found out yet, but if it was him, it wouldn't hurt to find out."
Xianghua was stunned, and said sourly: "Is it okay for him to find out?" I still don't know what your name is. ”
"I'll tell you someday." Taro laughed.
