Chapter 423: Road Construction

The mountains were empty, and the autumn rain was beginning to stop, Li Shi walked step by step to a pavilion to sit down, and not far from this pavilion, he saw a group of sturdy monks in ragged clothes, who were doing their best to open up the road, carry gravel, and serve hard.

These laborers are struggling to carry baskets of gravel, which are naturally useless gravel excavated from the road, for the road that Li Shi needs to build, whether it is in the transmission of energy or the road walking of ordinary people, these gravel will only play a negative role, so it is natural to carry it out.

Li Shi ordered a cup of coarse tea at random, and the taste was naturally much worse than the spiritual tea he usually drank, however, Li Shi didn't mind, he drank a little at will, and silently watched the officials in charge of supervision wield long whips and whipped those lazy men fiercely, and even some people were too tired to move, but those supervision officials would also unceremoniously whip them on the back, only when they were sure that they were really dizzy, but they would let people lift them down!

......The old man who bought herbal tea in the tea pavilion looked at the scene in front of him, and couldn't help but mutter.

Hearing this, Li Shi said to the old man with a little curiosity, "Old man, I came to this Qinglian Island, but I saw that roads are being built everywhere on this Qinglian Island, and these roads are convenient for you!"

"Childe's temperament is not from our Qinglian Island, right?!" the old man heard Li Shi's words, but he asked rhetorically!

"I've been at home for a long time, so I came out to travel and travel, and I heard that there are immortals on Qinglian Island who have issued a merit-seeking order, maybe I can also rely on this to have the opportunity to become an immortal. Li Shi said in accordance with the old man's words.

"The immortals on Qinglian Island are not good immortals, it is said that they are evil gods in the world, they like to eat the hearts and livers of three-year-old children the most, and absorb the qi and blood of strong people.

"It sounds like these immortals are very bad, I don't know if they will enter the beast path after death!" Li Shi said, "By the way, have you walked these roads, how do you feel!"

"Speaking of which...... Hey!" The old man couldn't help but let out a long sigh, "There is a roadblock in the village, and if you want to go this way, you have to pay a copper, and we poor people, where do we have the life to take this new road." ”

"I see...... Li Shiru nodded thoughtfully, drank all the tea in one gulp, left a few coppers, and said, "Old man, I have drunk the tea, please clean it up, I won't bother much!"

"Housheng is polite, let's go!" The old man saw the copper left by Li Shi, and his eyes couldn't help but light up, but he instinctively turned his head to look in the direction of Li Shi, but Li Shi's figure was gone, and the old man hurriedly put these coppers into his sleeve, and his own cups of coarse tea were really making a fortune.

Li Shi walked all the way from the south of Qinglian Island to the north, and along the way, he could see that the lowest peasants were tortured by the hard labor he advocated for road construction, and even countless people died of exhaustion because of this hard labor.

But even so, Li Shi did not stop it, because the overseer maintained the majesty of his own laws and administration.

And because of the improper administrative order he promulgated, which caused the people's resentment to boil, Li Shi could only secretly feel sorry in his heart, there was his own fault, and there was also the fault of the whole world, he was just a monk after all, not an immortal.

For the first time, Li Shi felt that the order he gave was related to the life and death of nearly five million mortals on the entire Qinglian Island, Li Shi clenched his hand and said secretly in his heart, "This is not a wanton game, but the trust of life!"

In his previous life, Li Shi was just an ordinary person after all, neither an official nor an obsolete politician, but simply knew that some of the policies promulgated by the state were good, and he only needed to copy these policies, not to mention the things that people who needed at least 70 points in politics to adapt to local conditions could do. The various obstacles encountered in the process of policy implementation alone are somewhat beyond Li Shi's original expectations, after all, it is not unheard of for good policies to lead to all kinds of good coups and bad governments because of the problems of implementation. In the past, Li Shi's idea was discussed by everyone, and the implementation of Shuhe's plan was naturally more in line with the actual situation, but this time, Li Shi's entire purpose of building the road was just because he patted his head and thought about it, feeling that this was the best of both worlds, but it was definitely not so simple to implement.

Li Shi took a day, wandered around the entire Qinglian Island, and then returned to his room, writing a full three days and three nights of experience, on the fourth day, Li Shi pulled a group of people in his small team over, even including Shu He, a thrilling debate lasted for three days, Jin Se's copywriting recorded more than one jade slip, and finally the door opened, although Guo Zui and others had practiced the art of practicing qi, but such a fierce collision of wisdom also made them extremely tired, almost after returning to their own home, they fell asleep directly。

Soon after, the orders belonging to Li Shi began to be promulgated one by one under Kong Jie's administrative operation at this time, and the first thing was forced labor, which was completely canceled by Li Shi, and the way to hire labor was to recruit labor, and the means of payment was food, at least in the hands of mortals, which was the most reassuring thing for them.

As for how the food comes from...... Although it is a bit extravagant to grow mortal food in the monk's spiritual field, even the vast majority of monks have never touched this idea, but the effect of planting is really to cut a stubble and grow a stubble, like a leek in the stock market.

Of course, Li Shi asked those monks in the Qi refining period and the spirit period to do this, naturally because Li Shi promulgated the sect contribution, but it was precisely because he had these rich grains as the most basic reward that Li Shi's plan to work for service could be carried out normally.

And with the grain that ends every day as bait, the work enthusiasm of these mortals has increased significantly, and at this time, Li Shi secretly asked people to open some herbal tea shops, steamed bun shops, and grain stores that play a similar role as a bank next to the construction site.

With the road as the core, the shops and popularity of the surrounding area began to flourish little by little.
