"By the way, Brother Chen, you still have to help me with something."

"Huh?"

It's night.

Qin Zhen took Chen Kuai and rushed to the City Lord's Mansion overnight.

As he expected, the City Lord's Mansion was brightly lit.

After expressing his intentions, Qin Zhen was taken in by the housekeeper and finally met the lord of the coastal city.

"My lord, at this time, the villain's income and expenditure accounts of this auction, please take a look."

Qin Zhen respectfully handed over the account book, and the coastal city lord couldn't wait to grab it and take a look.

"I actually earned more than 20,000 taels?!"

Looking at the numbers above, Rao was mentally prepared in advance, and the coastal city lord was still shocked.

In this way, the money that finally fell into his pocket was five thousand taels!

The Offshore City Lord closed the account, looked at Qin Zhen and muttered, "Qin Zhen, how do you plan to use this donation?" ”

"My lord, the mountains in coastal county are complicated, the roads are dilapidated, and the behavior is a problem! Just from a small fishing village to an offshore city, you have to walk for four or five days, and a round trip is half a month, which is too long! As the saying goes, if you want to get rich, you must first build roads, and the grass people dare to ask the adults for an errand and use this money to repair the roads. ”

This was something that Qin Zhen had decided on from the beginning.

In the feudal era, traffic was inconvenient and the norm was not the norm, and it was either muddy and dusty, or it was blocked by gravel and steep slopes. Everyone has to take off in a cart, not to mention the goods? The road was built not only for the convenience of the people, but also for the convenience of Qinzhen itself.

Now seeing that Qinzhen's business is getting bigger and bigger, the transportation pressure has also increased sharply.

If some gentle and wide roads can be built, Qinzhen's logistics can also be faster.

"Build roads?"

The Offshore Castle Lord was surprised.

He thought that Qin Zhen would think of something like soup kitchen, but he never thought that this kid actually wanted to build the road directly!

It's good to build roads! To put it mildly, it's a political achievement! To put it mildly, it is his coastal city lord who is dedicated to the people and the common people!

There was no reason for the Offshore Castle Lord to refuse.

"Building a road is a big errand, and it costs a lot of money, is that enough?"

Building a road is not a simple matter, and the manpower and material resources involved, all aspects, are intricate and immeasurable!

As far as the coastal city lord knows, the donation in Qin Zhen's hands is only a few thousand taels, is it enough to build roads?

"The grass people are willing to post a little bit themselves." Qin Zhen blurted out.

As soon as these words came out, the coastal city lords couldn't help but feel a little admiration.

But that's just a few.

He hesitated for a moment, then said: "The road can be repaired, I don't care how it is repaired, but you can't make trouble for me, you can't make a lot of complaints, understand?" ”

To put it bluntly, he, the city lord, doesn't care about anything, and the workers, materials, exploration, etc. for road construction need to be solved by Qin Zhen himself. If something happens, Qin Zhen will work hard and lose money, and if it is repaired, it will be the leader of the coastal city lord.

"Understood."

Qin Zhen paused and said again.

"Lord Qiyu, the grass people have the courage to ask the adults for a favor, the road construction in the wild is unpredictable, I am afraid that it will be disturbed by poisonous insects and beasts, the grass people hope that the adults can send officers and soldiers to accompany them, so as to protect the people and suppress Xiaoxiao.

Of course! I'll pay for it. ”

Qin Zhen had already said it very vaguely, but the Offshore City Lord still understood what he meant.

What poisonous snake beast?

Qin Zhen is afraid of mountain bandits!

Let the officers and soldiers accompany it, which is equivalent to putting a coat of government on Qin Zhen's road construction plan, if anyone dares to make trouble without opening his eyes, Qin Zhen can justifiably take the other party! Even, Qin Zhen can take the opportunity to take the initiative to take action against the mountain bandits and purge the surrounding mountain bandit forces.

"You kid thinks long-term." The Offshore City Lord glanced at Qin Zhen meaningfully, and after a little contemplation, he readily agreed.

He looked at Chen Kuai on the side and asked, "What does Lord Chen think?" ”

"Building roads is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, and the sin is in the present generation, and the benefit is in the future! Willing to go along. Chen Kuai said immediately.

"Looks like you've already discussed it." The Offshore City Lord smiled faintly: "Since that's the case, then you can make up your own minds." I still say the same thing, remember not to make any angry incidents, and don't let good things become bad things. ”

When it was over, Qin Zhen asked tentatively: "My lord, should I send this money to your mansion, or?" ”

"Let's put it there for you first, there are many people, and there is no place to hide, right?" The Offshore City Lord squinted.

What corrupt official would put the money he had embezzled into his house?

Isn't this a time bomb in your face?

Qin Zhen immediately understood: "That place in a small fishing village? ”

In this way, the offshore city lord has such a sum of money to put in the small fishing village, which can be regarded as an extra insurance for the small fishing village.

In case someone wants to do something to the small fishing village in the future, and does not look at the face of the monk to see the face of the Buddha, for the sake of these thousands of taels of silver, the lord of the coastal city will help one or two to some extent.

The Offshore City Lord gladly agreed and said, "Good." ”

After leaving the City Lord's Mansion, it was already dawn.

I happened to bump into Miss Ying'er and others who were going home.

Miss Ying'er, who didn't buy the clothes she wanted, looked at Qin Zhen resentfully, as if the cabbage she had been raising for many years had been poached by someone.

Qin Zhen was about to say hello when he saw Miss Ying'er pouting, snorted and went straight into the house.

Those red eyes, it seems that they have cried?

"Can't you? Isn't it just a piece of clothing? Qin Zhen muttered in his heart.

At this time, Nangong Xixin walked over, and she was a little squirming at the moment.

"Thank you Qin Gongzi for the clothes, I like it very much."

"Oh...... Good. Qin Zhen nodded politely.

In fact, when he gave this dress to Nangong Xixin, he didn't think about anything, he just looked at Huang Dalang's unhappiness, such a good dress fell into the hands of that dead fat man, and it was ruined!

I thought that Nangong Xixin would leave after coming over to thank her, but I didn't expect this little girl to look like she wanted to say something.

"Miss Nangong, is there anything else?" Qin Zhen couldn't help but ask.

Nangong Xixin, who was reckless and free on weekdays, was a little at a loss at the moment, she stumbled and asked, lowering her head and not daring to look at Qin Zhen's eyes: "Young Master Qin, what are your plans next?" ”

"I'm going back to the village to help the big guy build the road." Qin Zhen said with a smile: "With money in hand, you have to let the old folks get some benefits, right?" The wilderness is chaotic, and it is convenient for the villagers to go wherever they want to go. ”

Hearing this, Nangong Xixin couldn't help but appreciate Qin Zhen more and more.

Isn't this the young child's heart that she misses?

After a few brief greetings, Qin Zhen took his leave.

Looking at the back of Qin Zhen leaving, Nangong Xixin only felt that something was throbbing in her heart.

"Old girl, what did Gongzi Qin say? Didn't you agree to work with us on the teahouse? Nangong Yuan leaned over and asked.

"Huh? I forgot to ask...... "Nangong Xi woke up like a dream."

Nangong Yuan was stunned: "Then you just put aside and talked and laughed with Brother Qin, what are you talking about?" ”

Nangong Xixin didn't pick up, but watched Qin Zhen's back disappear from view, and then made up his mind, and said to Nangong Yuan: "Brother, I want to go to the small fishing village to have a look." ”
