After everyone had left, Qiao Xuan looked at Li Yue, who was standing next to him nervously.

"Does the village chief have anything to say?" Li Yue smiled when she saw Qiao Xuan looking at her, and asked tentatively.

"Come out with me!" Li Yue grew up in the village and was familiar with every corner in the village, so Qiao Xuan was ready to take her to explore the road first.

"Good! I listened to the village chief. ”

If you have milk, you will have a mother, and it is much better to talk about interests with the people of Taoyuan Village than to talk about other things, and Li Yue is the same.

As long as Qiao Xuan can bring her benefits, she is willing to follow Qiao Xuan around.

Qiao Xuan turned around, Xi He and Xi Yan were also staring at her, obviously they also wanted to go.

"Let's go with you!"

In a word, Xi Yan quickly began to pack up the things that were brought out, Xi He brought the table in, and the two of them came out and closed the door after packing up the things in the house.

"Let's go!"

The four of them walked towards the entrance of the village in a hurry.

Li Yue peeked at Qiao Xuan several times when she wanted to speak and stopped, and Qiao Xuan glanced at her, "If you have something to say, just say it!" Don't look awkward. ”

"That-I heard that each village is fifty taels of silver," she said and paused to observe Qiao Xuan's face, and when she saw that Qiao Xuan's face was as usual, she continued: "Village Chief, you promised us fifty wen a day, you won't lie to us, right?" ”

After being carried away by Wuwen's surprise, he calmed down and began to worry about whether Qiao Xuan could do what he said, after all, no one wants to suffer.

Qiao Xuan stopped abruptly and glared at Li Yue with an angry expression.

Li Yue was taken aback by her sudden momentum, and she couldn't wait to slap herself in the mouth, she shouldn't have more mouths, there are so many of them, if Qiao Xuan really can't come up with money in the end, more people will clean her up, and she can't offend this person at all.

"Li Yue, you really have long hair and short knowledge!" Qiao Xuan said with disgust: "You people just stare at those fifty texts, can you think about things in the long run?" ”

Li Yue was stunned, completely unable to understand what Qiao Xuan was going to say.

"What did the imperial court and the county magistrate ask to build the road for?"

"Toss us for nothing?" Li Yue replied cautiously, for fear that she would make a mistake and be met with a blank look from Qiao Xuan.

"Toss you! It is to make us poor people rich," Qiao Xuan said seriously, "There is a good saying, if you want to get rich, you must first build roads, and if the road is good, everyone's life will be better in the future." ”

Li Yue was stunned when she heard this, but she vaguely understood.

"With convenient transportation, isn't it easier to farm, do business, see a doctor, and go out?" Qiao Xuan's eyes widened, "Everyone today may need to sweat and rain to build roads, and in the future, everyone's children and grandchildren will enjoy this kind of convenience in life." ”

"The imperial court is now giving money to everyone to repair the road, and it is possible that the silver will be issued in the future to develop Taoyuan Village into a town and a county."

I have to say that Qiao Xuan's flickering and righteous accusations made Li Yue feel a little guilty in her heart.

She doesn't care about anything, but she still cares about whether future generations can live well.

"You've been farming for half your life, living a hard life, is it possible that you don't want your future children to live another life?

Let them be able to read and understand etiquette like the students in the town and county, and if they are a little better, they will become famous and become the great officials of the capital, don't you look forward to it? ”

Qiao Xuan's words shocked both Xi He and Xi Yan.

Li Yue was as completely stupid as a goose, she never thought about what Qiao Xuan said.

"Li Yue, can you pursue it a little?" Qiao Xuan rubbed his nose, and his voice softened.

Li Yue came back to her senses, looked at Qiao Xuan's old face and turned red, and a bold idea suddenly came to her mind.

Xi He glanced at Qiao Xuan deeply, his fiancée was really impressive, this was the first time he had heard a woman say this, with such foresight.

The four of them left the village and walked down, and it took about an hour before they met the people of Qingfeng Village.

Xu Gui stood in the most conspicuous place in the crowd with a shovel and commanded, and the villagers pulled stones with carts, cut down trees, and dug soil.

"Why is Village Chief Qiao here?" Xu Gui walked over after seeing Qiao Xuan, first glanced at Li Yue and asked.

"I'll come over and see which sections of the road need to be repaired, Village Chief Xu is busy, don't worry about me, I'll take a look and go back."

Qiao Xuan smiled very well-behaved, and he didn't see the compelling momentum when he accused Li Yue just now.

Xu Gui nodded and lowered his voice and said to Qiao Xuan: "The main thing is the distance from Taoyuan Village to Qingfeng Village, and the other branch roads will be repaired a little when they have time, and if it's too late, don't worry about it." ”

"I understand! Thank you, Village Chief Xu, for the reminder," Qiao Xuan said gratefully.

Xu Gui originally wanted to ask about his grandson that Qiao Xuan said on the ox cart yesterday, but there were other people around Qiao Xuan who didn't ask and returned to their village's team.

"Is there any way from Taoyuan Village to Qingfeng Village? It's not going to be the only one, is it? ”

Qiao Xuan asked Li Yue, if there is a closer road, there is no need to repair the current one, this twist and turn, one time uphill and one time downhill, it is time-consuming and laborious, and it is not easy to walk.

Li Yue tilted her head and thought for a while before hesitantly answering: "Yes, yes, but ......"

Qiao Xuan urged: "But what? Straight to the point! ”

"That's right! What do you have to say, don't be slow" Xi Yan really couldn't stand Li Yue's twisted temperament, so she interjected.

Originally, looking at Li Yue's scolding posture, I thought it was a pungent and neat character, but I didn't expect this short contact to reveal my true nature, grinding and chirping, grinding and grinding, which made people anxious.

"That road doesn't work, it's been abandoned for so many years" Li Yue waved her hand, looking afraid.

"Make it clear!" Xi He's impatient accentuated tone.

"That road is very evil, I heard that more than ten people died in a year, and they all died under a few willow trees on that road for no apparent reason."

Li Yue whispered.

Xi He looked at Qiao Xuan, and a touch of coldness flashed across Qiao Xuan's fair face, "When did it happen?" ”

"It seems like five years ago, or more, I can't tell!" Li Yue seemed to be disgusted, and slapped her hand in front of her mouth, and said vaguely.

"If you take that road, how long will it take to get from Taoyuan Village to Qingfeng Village?"

"Half an hour!" Li Yue replied quickly this time, after all, the current road was only opened to bypass that road, so everyone was thinking more about staying away from that road at that time.

It's okay to be tired, but you have to save your life.

Qiao Xuan showed a bright smile, half an hour, very good, in order to save money, in order to shorten the distance, she went to see the cat on the old road.
