When the vermicelli is finished, work will start.

The news quickly spread throughout Shili and Eight Villages, and the vast majority of people who heard the news would say a word.

Some people with a lot of thoughts deliberately approached Zhuang Fengshou, saying that they also wanted to donate silver and wanted to contribute to this road.

Show more performance in order to leave a good impression in front of Li Qiao!

Reluctant to let the children catch the wolf, look at the current treatment of Zhujia Village, they want to become the second Zhujia Village!

To be honest, there are really a lot of people who are willing to pay this money, not to mention that someone in the family has entered the sweet potato workshop in the county, only this year's sweet potato.

This year's sweet potato harvest is abundant, and they plant a lot, and many families can earn thirty or forty taels of silver from sweet potatoes.

Not to mention some lucky families, some people in the family can get 300 yuan a day for working in the sweet potato workshop.

Therefore, there are really many people who are willing to donate these two taels of silver.

Some people in other villages are willing to donate money, Zhuang Fengshou is naturally happy to accept it, and others donate more than two taels, and Li Qiao can pay two taels less.

Moreover, in order to encourage people in the nearby villages to donate more, he said that after the road is repaired, a merit monument will be erected, and anyone who has donated silver can leave their names on the merit monument.

As soon as this news came out, the people who wanted to donate rushed into Zhuang Fengshou's house, good guy, this is equivalent to appearing on the same stone as Li Qiao, this is a good opportunity to get close to Li Qiao!

Don't miss it!

But Li Qiao is not silver, it is impossible for everyone to have good intentions towards Li Qiao, there are some people, even if they earn money by relying on Li Qiao, it still can't stop the red blood in their eyes.

These people think that this silver should be paid by Li Qiao.

If Li Qiao was very wealthy from the beginning, like a squire, he was not like ordinary people, then now he is willing to reach out and pull them, and they can only be grateful.

But Li Qiao used to be a rotten person, but now she has changed and can earn so much silver!

They are not convinced, they are jealous!

In addition, Han Xiaoyan's remarks that "Li Qiao is calling the whole village to earn money for him" also spread, so there are really a lot of people who are angry with Li Qiao.

But with Li Qiao's current reputation, they only dare to say this kind of thing in private, and dare not say it in public.

Didn't you see that Li Huang couldn't enter the sweet potato workshop anymore, let alone them!

In this atmosphere, Li Qiao and Tao Zhu went to the county seat again, and their husband and wife went to the county government to deliver the snacks bought by Jiang Zhi County.

This year, Jiangzhi County asked Li Qiao to buy dim sum again.

Before leaving, Jiang Zhixian told them that he had sent the vermicelli from the sweet potato workshop in the county seat to the capital as a tribute.

Regarding the birth of vermicelli and the current madness of the county, he also wrote a detailed excerpt.

At the normal rate, at the end of the first month, the Holy Lord's reaction will reach Heicheng.

When Li Qian heard this, he had a sense of unreality, Jiang Zhixian really wrote his name in an excerpt and sent it to the capital?

……

Write it, he is most concerned about the county exam in February next year.

However, he once again vaguely said that if officials at the provincial and provincial levels want to be filial, then he understands the rules.

Jiang Zhixian couldn't help but laugh when he heard what he said: "That's it, this official will tell you the truth." When preparing for the sweet potato workshop this summer, the official went to the capital city and told the prefect the whole plan. ”

"My lord is very supportive of this plan, let the official do it freely, so you don't have to worry."

The prefect is in charge of the power of a prefecture, and he is in charge of the counties below, and if he wants to engage in such a big battle, he naturally has to communicate with the prefect.

The prefect is not stupid, and after listening to his plan, he knows what kind of great changes the vermicelli can bring to Heicheng.

If Heijo is really rich, then the prefect must also be meritorious as the governor of a prefecture.

His achievements are also those of the prefect.

Besides, he also clearly wrote on his fold that the prefect gave him a lot of support and encouragement, so now the prefect is also waiting for the saint's reaction.

Vermicelli can become a specialty of Pingcheng, or it can become a specialty of the entire prefecture, compared with political achievements, Li Qiao's little silver is really nothing, and it can't enter the eyes of the prefect.

Dasheng is under the governance of the two holy and bright emperors, and there are fewer corrupt officials, although there are still unspoken rules, but they will not be too much.

First, it is because the officials' salaries are high enough.

The position is one level higher, and some can even be doubled or tripled, plus some of the silver collected when doing things does not affect the overall situation, so Dasheng's officials are not short of money.

The second is because Emperor Taishang has cut down corrupt officials from the founding of the country to the present, just like chopping melons and vegetables, so there are very few corrupt officials in Dasheng at present, and they can be called Qingming.

Li Qiao's worries do not exist.

He didn't plan to tell Li Qiao about these things, but this young man gave him a second chance in his life, and he knew how to judge the situation, so he said it.

The right is to make a good relationship.

As long as this young man doesn't become a demon, the future is really limitless, maybe he will be on the top in the future.

Li Qiao was really relieved when she got Jiang Zhixian's words.

It turns out that the prefect also took a fancy to the noodles?

He couldn't help but sigh again, Dasheng is really a paradise!

Coming out of the county office, the husband and wife began to purchase New Year's goods.

Before the Chinese New Year, the two were not going to come to the county seat, and Li Qiao had to concentrate on preparing for the exam.

After a big purchase, it was already dark when the two of them returned to the village, the cold wind was blowing, and the two of them snuggled together and were about to drive the ox cart home, but not far away there was a woman's cry.

Li Qiao's ears were sensitive, and she quickly heard the reason.

It was Han Xiaoyan who was crying, and while crying, he scolded Li Dazhong for whether he had a new love. And Li Dazhong seems to be pulling Han Xiaoyan, and he still wants to send Han Xiaoyan back to his parents' house.

In order to avoid embarrassment and not want to be entangled by Han Xiaoyan, he jumped out of the ox cart and led the ox cart to his home quickly.

"What's wrong?" Tao Zhu was a little puzzled.

"I heard the cry of my sister-in-law." Li Qiao said.

“……”

Tao Zhu turned sideways and aimed his ear in the direction of Li Dazhong's house, and after a few seconds, he really heard a faint cry.

But I can't really hear it, and I can't be sure that it's Han Xiaoyan.

He looked at Li Qiao, who was holding the little girl, with some surprise, this person's ears are too good, right?

However, he really didn't want to be entangled by Han Xiaoyan, so he simply got off the ox cart and walked side by side with Li Qiao.

"Actually, Brother Da Zhong has no intention of divorce his wife at all." He couldn't help but say.

"We can't take care of it, let's be bystanders." Li Qiao took his hand through thick gloves.

Li Qiao only has two words for Han Xiaoyan:

Habitually.

"Hurry back, although the clothes on my body are thick, I can't stand the cold, I feel that the clothes are blown through, are you cold?" Li Qiao changed the subject.

When Tao Zhu heard this, he immediately couldn't take care of Han Xiaoyan: "Don't freeze, go back to the fire and drink hot." ”

"Hmm!"

Li Qiao responded repeatedly, and the husband and wife quickly returned home.

After arriving home, they first made a fire to roast away the cold on their bodies, and then ate a hot meal, and then the husband and wife went back to their happy hometown in the backyard.

Today I was running around all day and stopped studying.

And with Jiang Zhixian's permission, the big stone that pressed on Tao Zhu's heart disappeared, and tonight, he naturally wanted to be happy.

In the blink of an eye, it was the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve.

The sweet potato workshop is closed today.

For the Chinese New Year, it's okay to take a day off, anyway, today's starch can be used for two more months.

Moreover, such a job as killing pigs, relying only on the elderly and children in the family, it really can't be done.

During the Chinese New Year last year, Sanliu Village, Zhujia Village and nearby villages raised a lot of chickens, ducks and pigs, and after a year, these chickens, ducks and pigs have grown up.

If you put aside the previous years, almost no one is willing to kill pigs and eat meat, and the big guys who raise pigs are sold for money.

But this year, no one lacks money for this pig, and many families even earn a hundred taels, in this case, they are naturally willing to kill pigs and eat meat.

Kill the pig today, celebrate the New Year tomorrow, perfect!

There are many people who want to kill pigs, and they can't be busy at all by relying on Zheng Butcher alone. So the three or five families made an appointment to kill pigs together and help each other.

After these people killed the pigs, without exception, they all brought meat to Li Qiao's house to deliver meat.

The big guy knows that Li Qiao doesn't accept too much, and after observing it for so long, he also knows that Li Qiao likes to gnaw on bones that don't have much meat and doesn't like to eat serious big fat meat, so these people send pork ribs and pig's trotters.

By noon, plus the delivery from Zhujia Village, Li Qiao's family received a total of hundreds of catties of pork ribs and more than 400 pig's trotters.

Li Qiao: "......"

It's good that there is no shortage of ribs and pig's trotters this New Year.

"Fortunately, it's cold now, otherwise, I really can't let it go." Tao Zhu looked at these ribs and pig's trotters with some worry.

Because a few days ago, many people from other villages also came to deliver meat.

There were no sweet potato workshops in the outer villages, so the pigs were killed early, and many families also sent meat.

Ordinary pork can be made into bacon, but how can pig's trotters and pork ribs be made into bacon?

"Don't worry, tomorrow afternoon, let's stew pig's trotters and pork ribs in all four kitchens, and call a bunch of people to come over, if we can't finish it at one time, then let's stew it a few more times, and we will definitely be able to finish it."

Li Qiao said with a smile.

"Okay." Tao Zhu nodded.

If he had left the past, he would have been distressed.

But now that there are three small boxes of silver tickets at home, he really doesn't feel distressed.

For the New Year, the stew is lively and lively.

When Li Dashan heard this, he immediately said, "Then I'll go and tell Brother Qian'er the good news now." ”

"Go, go, go, by the way, your uncle will be ordered. Yuyan grilled sausages were brought back, saving the Zheng family another trip. ”
