"You're kinder."

Tao Zhu was originally holding Li Qiao's arm, but after this sentence fell, he directly hugged Li Qiao's waist and leaned his cheek on Li Qiao's shoulder.

This man is the kindest.

It's also the most generous.

not only led the people of the county to get rich, but also built roads for the county.

Two days ago, the Han caravan returned to Beijing and brought back the latest situation on the Pingcheng side.

When Zhuang Fengshou Zheng and his party returned to Pingcheng in the spring of this year, they first went to the magistrate of Pingcheng at this time, and told the magistrate about Li Qiao's road construction in Pingcheng.

Li Qian paid for this matter, Sheng Hong agreed, and the magistrate of Pingcheng County naturally supported it strongly.

The magistrate of Pingcheng County soon summoned the village chiefs of the whole county to announce the matter.

After the news was announced, the people of Pingcheng were very happy, Master Li was in Shengjing, but he was concerned about his hometown, and Lord Li was a good official!

The businessmen and petty officials of Pingcheng found Zhuang Fengshou while being happy, and expressed their desire to make a contribution to the road conditions in Pingcheng.

This road is not only taken by the Li family, but also by the people of the entire Pingcheng, and they are also walking, they are making a fortune in Pingcheng, and they want to give back to Pingcheng.

Especially the shopkeeper Wang, after finding Zhuang Fengshou, repeatedly begged Zhuang Fengshou to accept his silver taels, otherwise he would be uneasy.

The merchants of the entire Pingcheng City, counting him to touch the light of Lord Li the most, counting him to touch the light of the people of Pingcheng the most, if he does not donate silver, it is no conscience, that is a wolf's heart and dog lungs.

The king's words were sincere, and there were tears rippling, Zhuang Fengshou thought about the actual situation, and accepted the 50,000 taels of silver donated by the king's shopkeeper.

Shopkeeper Wang's business in Mochizuki Tower is still booming, and Shopkeeper Wang has really earned a lot of silver in recent years, so it is 50,000 taels as soon as he makes a move.

The donation was successful, and other businessmen and petty officials followed suit.

If the village chief refuses to accept their silver, then they are really shameless to face the elders of their hometown.

For example, every year the king of the shopkeeper issued a pair of cards, how many people by selling the pair of cards to foreign businessmen to get rich, now to build roads, if not donate some silver, then the heart is really unhappy.

There is also the shopkeeper Zhao of Drunken Immortal Residence, who offended Li Qiao because of the grilled sausage and the Youth League, and he especially wants to remedy it at this time.

Moreover, because there are many people in Pingcheng, the business of Zuixianju has been okay in recent years.

Shopkeeper Zhao can also be regarded as stained with the light of Lord Li, and he especially wants to do his best.

Zhuang Fengshou thought about the actual situation and accepted the silver donated by these people.

It's not, how many people have become rich by relying on a vermicelli.

This is true for businessmen and petty officials, and the same is true for Sanliu Village.

As the root of Lord Li, he must set an example for the whole county, and he must not be able to drag Lord Li back.

Now that Lord Li wants to build roads, Sanliu Village not only has to pay people, but also money.

This money village must be harvested, otherwise Lord Li wants to draw a clear line with the whole village.

Zhuang Fengshou thought that everyone could stand by and watch the road construction this time, but Sanliu Village couldn't.

Sanliu Village must do its best to support the road construction this time!

But Master Li was definitely unwilling to let the big guys pay more, so each family donated twenty taels of silver.

Seeing this, Zhujia Village next to him hurriedly followed.

Zhujia Village has always advanced and retreated with Sanliu Village, and Zhujia Village also has to donate money!

The surrounding villages such as Dahe Village and Xiaogang Village have also donated money when they see this, they are familiar with this matter, many people donated silver when they built adobe brick roads before, and Li Qiao was not an official at that time.

Now that Li Qiao is already a third-grade official close to the Son of Heaven, then this silver has to be donated.

People from the surrounding villages wanted to donate, and soon, the people of the entire Pingcheng also wanted to donate.

can't be left behind, the big guys have indeed become rich in recent years, and this is to help Lord Li do things.

In this regard, Zhuang Fengshou shook his head and refused.

He only accepts donations from the people of Sanli Town, and he does not accept donations from other towns, lest some people do not want to donate and are forced to donate and thus have a grudge against Li Qiao.

If you really want to do something to build the road, when the construction starts, you can go and help build the road.

By the way, the grass and wood ash of his own family was sent, and the plant ash needed to be used to make plaster, and now Lord Li paid out of his own pocket to repair the road in Pingcheng, so he couldn't let Lord Li pay for plant and wood ash.

When businessmen from other places heard about this, they also wanted to donate silver so that they could take the line of Li Qiao.

Li Qiao's temperament, these businessmen all know that it is not good to engage in crooked ways in front of Li Qiao, but if they are bullied for doing business seriously, then it is definitely good to find Li Qiao.

Therefore, they want to rely on donating silver to brush up their sense of existence, so as not to encounter injustice in the future, and they don't even have the qualifications to ask to see Li Qiao.

Zhuang Fengfeng did not receive the silver of these people, relying on local donations, plus Li Qiao's silver, it was enough to repair the roads of the entire county.

Zhuang Fengshou took the silver, and with the strong support of the Pingcheng magistrate, he quickly built a stucco road.

The adobe brick road is good, but it is quite fragile, especially since this road often transports vermicelli.

The damaged area was quickly repaired, but it was not a way to repair it in general, and now there was stucco, so the first road Zhuang Fengshou repaired was an adobe brick road.

He plastered a layer of plaster on the adobe brick road.

The plaster dries quickly, and the road only needs to be closed for three days to pass.

This road is passed by a lot of people every day, and after the pass, everyone has come to watch, this is the new invention of the plaster of the Li people, and the whole Sheng Kyoto is using this kind of plaster to build the road.

After everyone observed on the spot, they admired Li Qiao even more, which is worthy of being invented by Lord Li, that is, flat!

It's sturdy!

It's just good to go!

This stucco road is the best advertisement, the enthusiasm of the county people to build the road rose up all of a sudden, foreign businessmen are very envious, if Dasheng official road is this kind of stucco road, then in the future they will be too convenient to do business!

The Ming Prefecture immediately gave Sheng Hong an excerpt, saying that he wanted to arrange stucco roads for the remaining four counties of Hexi Prefecture.

The prefect now has to go around the five counties several times a year to ensure the stability of the noodle business, and in order to facilitate the transportation of the vermicelli and his travel, the remaining four counties of Hexi Province must build stucco roads.

When Ming Zhifu had previously repaired the adobe brick road of Pingcheng, Fucheng, he forced the rich people of Fucheng to donate a lot of money, and this time he planned to follow the example of last time and collect donations from the rich people in the remaining four counties.

Rich people deserve more silver!

Sheng Hong greatly appreciated the behavior of the Ming Governor's government.

Sheng Hong likes this kind of official who gives money to the treasury.

Sheng Hong waved his hand and was ready.

Therefore, when the Han caravan returned to Beijing with the first batch of vermicelli this year, the stucco road in Pingcheng had already been repaired a quarter, and the stucco road in Fucheng had just begun.

At this rate, by this time next year, the five counties of Hexi Province will definitely be full of stucco roads.

This is something Tao Zhu didn't expect.

What was not expected was that when Li Qiao learned of this, he donated 80,000 taels of silver to the remaining four counties, 20,000 taels for each county.

When it comes to kindness, there is no kinder person in this world than this person.

Tao Zhu's thoughts drifted too far, Li Qiao didn't know, he smiled and hugged Tao Zhu tightly: "The two of us are born a pair, we should get married." When I get home, I will clean up the old cotton clothes and bedding with you. ”

"Okay."

Tao Zhu responded with a smile.

When the husband and wife returned home, the sky was already a little dark, and it was cloudy today, and the temperature was around zero.

When it gets dark early, dinner is early.

Li Dashan, Li Ershan, Zhao Shen, and Li Shu go to the shop every day and don't eat with the big guys.

In the past two days, Li Liang Wang Guihua was busy with the autumn harvest, and the couple temporarily lived in Zhuangzi and were not at home.

Therefore, dinner is usually eaten by Li Qiao Taozhu with a group of juniors.

At the dinner table, Li Qiao announced that the imperial court was going to set up a good hall, and called on the big guys to donate the clothes they didn't need.

"I kept all the old clothes of Xiao Rui before, I originally planned to wear them for Erbao, but since Uncle Zhu has become the deputy head of Shantang, then our own family will definitely support it, and I will donate all Xiao Rui's old clothes."

Zheng Qianqian immediately responded.

"It's okay, you only need to donate clothes that you don't need, you don't need to donate if you need them, Quanshengjing is not just our family."

Li Qiao said.

His family is from the countryside, and although he is rich now, thrift is engraved in everyone's bones.

The clothes Li Xiaorui has worn since he was a child are all silk and satin, Zheng Qianqian is reluctant to throw it away, and plans to wear it for Li Erbao, which is normal.

But other rich and noble families will never treat their little boy and young master like this.

In large households, even the maids and maids have to make two sets of new clothes every quarter, not to mention girls and sons.

As far as Xin knows that this little marquis has eighteen sets of new clothes every quarter, this is still his family is more frugal and does not like extravagance, and it is pompous to change it, such as Lu Wenrong and Peng Zhiye, who have thirty or forty sets of new clothes every quarter.

When the imperial court raided the Lu family and the Peng family, the clothes found were piled up into a mountain, Sheng Hong sold everything that could be sold, and the rest of the brain was received into the treasury.

Today, Sheng Hong also said that he would open a warehouse, pull these clothes again, find out the winter clothes and take them to the good hall.

"That's right, Brother Qian'er, you can keep it for Erbao. We donate a fixed amount of 500 taels of silver and 500 catties of grain every month, which is enough. ”

Tao Zhu also said.

"Really, don't you?" Zheng Qianqian's eyes widened, and he was a little hesitant.

"No, I don't. Shantang Shantang, this good word, is all based on the heart, and cannot be forced. If you force it, it will be tasteless. ”

Li Qiao doesn't like to take money from other people's pockets to make forced donations, but then the weather is severe and natural disasters continue, in this case, he alone can't carry it with the still somewhat empty treasury.

There must be a good hall, and the whole Dasheng will tide over the difficulties together.

But even so, he still advocates not coercion, everything is arbitrary and voluntary.

Forced donations provoke resentment and do not turn a good thing into a bad thing.

Zheng Qianqian listened to Li Qiao's explanation and no longer hesitated: "Then I'll donate the clothes I am tired of wearing." ”

"I have a lot of old clothes, I'll donate them all."

Li Yu'an swallowed the rice ball in her mouth and spoke.

He is growing up every year, and he can't wear the clothes he used to wear, so it's better to donate it.
