Early the next morning.

Ye Chongwen, who had been jubilant for half the night last night, finally became wilted.

It was as if the rising red sun instantly broke all his pretenses and had to face the cruel reality.

Chen Ping pulled Ye Chongwen into Ye Lao's classroom.

Not long after the class started, Chen Ping found that Ye Lao, who had always taught seriously and was even a little strict in class, seemed to be a little wrong today.

Because Ye Chongwen fell asleep on his stomach not long after he sat down, according to the previous practice, he had already been reprimanded a few times, and even the ring ruler was directly drawn.

But Ye Lao didn't seem to see it today, his face tightened to himself, and he tried to maintain the quality of his teaching.

It may be that there was nothing wrong in the course of class, which led to the discovery of Ye Lao's abnormality, and it is estimated that Chen Ping is alone.

Most of the other classmates were completely unaware and were still immersed in the ocean of arithmetic knowledge.

However, no matter how much Chen Ping doubted in his heart, he didn't dare to speak casually in class, so he could only hold it in his stomach and wait for the class to end.

The more eager you are, the more you will find time difficult.

Finally, the servant in charge of the timekeeping looked at the sundial and shook his hand to ring the brass bell.

Sure enough, Ye Lao, who heard the bell, also seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, quickly put down the ring ruler, and left in a hurry.

Chen Ping hurriedly picked up the drowsy Ye Chongwen and chased in the direction that Ye Lao left.

rushed all the way to the side gate of the academy, and saw Ye Lao preparing to get into the carriage, and urged the coachman in a hurry.

"Let's go, the old man is already an hour late, and he can't delay any longer!"

Seeing his grandfather in such a hurry, Ye Chongwen, who had just woken up, hurriedly stopped in front of the car in shock.

"Grandpa, where are you going, take me with you, at least I can help you..... Help you ....... ”

Ye Chongwen scratched his scalp in embarrassment, and finally his voice became low and inaudible.

It seems, probably, that I can't help my grandfather in any way.

Seeing the two of them coming, although Ye Lao was anxious, he could only explain in words.

It turned out that before the start of today's arithmetic class, Ye Lao suddenly received an urgent letter from someone sent by Wang County.

The letter said that a batch of materials for repairing the road had been prepared, and in order not to occupy the busy agricultural season that began after more than a month, Wang Xianling mobilized thousands of people early to start repairing the main road from Yongshun County to Qingsong Town.

Before the start of construction, I thought that I had already prepared for everything, and I could adapt to any difficulties.

I never thought that the repair project involved too many people and materials, and the expenses were recorded in multiple account books, and it soon cost the eyes of the master of money and grain.

But at such a critical moment, the master actually said that he was sick and recuperated, handed over all the account books, and went home to lie down, almost making Wang Zhixian so angry that he vomited blood.

bluntly said, when everything is smooth, this official will not be spared.

"It's nothing that Wang Xian ordered to wait in a hurry, the key is that once the construction starts, you must not give up halfway, otherwise there will be no way to make up for the wasted materials and money."

"The old man, as your husband, even if the sky falls, he has to finish the class, but during this time of delay, I don't know what the accounts over there have become!"

As soon as he talked about this, Ye Lao was a little anxious, and he couldn't wait to quickly plug in his wings and fly over.

Ye Chongwen saw that he couldn't help, so he had to be in a hurry.

But Chen Ping opened his mouth and said: "I'll go with the teacher!" ”

Seeing that Chen Ping took the initiative to ask Ying to help him deal with it, Ye Lao was very relieved, and even his anxiety was relieved a lot.

However, he still did not hesitate to refuse Chen Ping's kindness.

After all, the construction site of the road is very chaotic, and it is really difficult to feel at ease when you bring a child over.

Seeing that Ye Lao was about to urge the coachman to set off again, Chen Ping shouted directly, "Teacher, slow down, how can the form prepared by Wang County's order for students to be prepared is only done behind closed doors in the academy?" ”

"Why don't you take me around the construction site to understand the real situation, so that I can make the form as soon as possible."

"Official duties are important, teacher!"

As soon as these words came out, they really moved Ye Lao.

After a moment of silence, he instructed the coachman to carry Chen Ping into the carriage, and then said to Ye Chongwen, who looked lost, "During the time when the old man leaves, he will find someone to take an arithmetic class on my behalf." ”

"When the old man comes back, he will definitely assess your schoolwork, if you don't study well, don't blame me for smoking you."

When Ye Chongwen heard this, his whole body trembled.

I don't know if it's because of arithmetic, or because I'm going to be pumped.

Before the words could be spoken, the carriage had already galloped away, kicking up billowing smoke and dust.

In the carriage, Chen Ping could still look at the scenery on both sides of the road curiously at first, but after less than a quarter of an hour, he couldn't help but mourn.

"Whew......"

"Teacher, this road is too bumpy, the whole carriage almost flies."

"Ordinary people walk even if they walk, if they are old and weak, women and children, won't they be bumped out of trouble?"

At this time, Ye Lao was barely maintaining his figure, his face gradually turned pale, and he was obviously suffering even more.

When the carriage stabilized a little, Ye Lao Fang let out a long breath of turbidity.

He sighed: "This is still when the rain has not yet rained, if you wait until the rainstorm is over, whether it is a merchant or a post soldier, you have to stop at the post house for five to ten days, and wait until the road surface is dry before you can go on the road." ”

"This broken road that has been in disrepair for a long time, I don't know how many urgent and important things have been delayed, otherwise why would Wang Zhixian be so eager to start construction?"

Chen Ping was silent when he heard this, and only then did he have a preliminary understanding of the road conditions in this world.

It turns out that the road to access and stability everywhere is not innate, nor can it be formed naturally when there are more people walking.

The construction and maintenance of each road requires the government to organize and mobilize a large number of people and mobilize a large amount of materials.

Every time a construction project is started, the detailed chores involved will discourage officials who are not familiar with ordinary affairs.

Is this the essence of government affairs?

In the bumpy carriage, Chen Ping began to think for the first time.

Now that you have come to this world, can you use the knowledge of your previous life to do something for this world that is still a stranger?

Not to mention watching the people here live in such a terrible environment day after day.

Even if it is to improve the environment around you and make yourself more comfortable, you should also contribute.

This kind of thought only lasted for a moment, and Chen Ping smiled.

Now I am just a seven-year-old child, even if I really have any ideas, who will take them seriously?

Let's read carefully.

If you can really gain fame in the future, if you think about your own opinions at that time, you will be able to play a little role.

In the cramped carriage, Ye Lao, who was recuperating with his eyes closed, did not know that his closed disciple was undergoing a new transformation in his state of mind.
