"Yazhou!"
Before Su Chen could speak, Zuo Ya spoke.
After hearing this, the old man was stunned for a moment, and then his face showed a bit of sadness: "Yazhou is good, Yazhou has a good official. He always knows how to think about the people!"
When Su Chen heard this, he touched his nose unnaturally.
"Follow this road and go west for about five miles. Then there is a branch road. Then go north and you will reach Danzhou City!"
"Thank you bro!"
Su Chen smiled very politely.
Zuo Ya followed Su Chen and said after walking far away, "Did I say the wrong thing?"
"Hey, it can't be counted. The life of this kind of person is already very poor. And it's the kind that cannot be changed. If you say you are from Yazhou, it is naturally a blow to him!"
"Then where do we come from?"
Zuo Ya curled her lips.
"If anyone asks again in the future, we will just say that we are from Qiongzhou!"
Su Chen held his chin and thought carefully before speaking.
When Zuo Ya heard this, she suddenly giggled: "You've slapped both Danzhou and Qiongzhou in the face!"
"no way!"
Su Chen waved his hand.
The three people walked forward and soon saw Danzhou City.
It is a city, not even comparable to a small village in Yazhou. The only thing worthy of praise is that the roads here are finally decent. There are roads made of stones on the ground, although they are also full of potholes. But at least it's not as muddy.
"When these roads are built, it will be inconvenient for the people even if they want to sell some things!"
Zhang Hu shook his head.
"So there is a saying that if you want to be rich, build roads first. Only after roads are built, people can have more choices!"
Su Chen sighed helplessly.
“If you want to be rich, build roads first?”
There was some confusion in Zuo Ya's eyes, and she didn't quite understand this sentence: "I have seen this slogan in some places in Yazhou before, but why?"
"What is the inevitable relationship between road construction and prosperity?"
"To put it simply, you live in the countryside of Yazhou, and you have a field. In these fields, there is a vegetable that grows very happily."
"Um!"
Zuo Ya nodded, accepting this statement easily.
"However, these vegetables are enough for you to eat, and other families in your village also have them, so they won't bother you to buy them. If you want to go to Yazhou to sell, it may take two days because the road is very bumpy. , you can only rely on manpower to carry it to Yazhou!"
"But, after arriving in Yazhou!"
"The food is not fresh, and there are not many people buying it. And you can't carry much at one time. You need to eat, you need accommodation, and these are all money. So, after this trip, not only did you not make any money , on the contrary, you may suffer some losses, because the expenditures in all aspects of Yazhou City may be relatively high!"
After Zuo Ya thought carefully for a moment, she nodded again.
"That's the truth!"
"But if there is a road that can be opened to traffic. You only need to find a carriage and you can go from the village to Yazhou City in half a day. All your things will still be fresh, and you can sell a lot at one time!"
“Not only has the quantity improved, but the quality has also improved to a certain extent!”
"So, you can naturally make money!"
There was a faint smile in Su Chen's eyes, and then he continued: "In other walks of life, the same is true. In many cases, people can quickly adapt to everything around them. The reason why they can't They are rich because they don’t have many choices!”
"A good path is actually a better choice!"
Su Chen nodded very firmly.
At this time, Zuo Ya suddenly realized: "I understand why you have to build roads first even if you spend so much money! Only after the roads are built can all the places in Yazhou be connected together. .”
"And not only in these aspects, political orders can also be much smoother."
Zuo Ya is very capable of drawing inferences from one instance.
"Yes, next I want to build a road between every village in Yazhou. These roads can connect the villages together." Su Chen showed a slight smile on his lips: "The road doesn't need to be that wide, it just needs to be able to pass a carriage!"
"good idea!"
Zuo Ya nodded in agreement.
After seeing all this in Danzhou, Zuo Ya finally understood how important roads were.
“Danzhou City is ahead!”
Su Chen looked at Danzhou City in front of him with a bit of helplessness in his eyes.
This city is a bit too shabby.
The city wall is estimated to be only about five meters high in total.
Moreover, many places are already dilapidated.
Come to the gate.
The people guarding the city gate stopped Su Chen and the others: "Where did you come from?"
"Qiongzhou!"
This time, before Su Chen could speak, Zuo Ya spoke again.
"Qiongzhou? What are you doing in Danzhou?" The man guarding the city gate frowned deeply.
"Visiting friends!"
Su Chen laughed, took a step forward and said.
"Um……"
The city guard glanced at Su Chen, then nodded slightly, stretched out his hand, and slightly bent his front fingers twice.
"What are you doing here? Give me money!"
Su Chen glanced at Zhang Hu.
Zhang Hu was also a little helpless, and took out a piece of silver from his arms, and then carefully put it into the man's hand.
"Okay, let's go in!"
When the people guarding the city saw the broken silver, their eyes suddenly lit up. It's been a long time since I've seen such a generous person. I didn't expect to meet a big customer while on duty today.
Su Chen and the other three entered the city.
I found that the streets here are also very dirty and there is not much unified planning.
It doesn't stink very much, maybe it's because it just rained.
There are not many pedestrians on the road.
Shops are also open sporadically.
However, at this moment, a very familiar voice came from not far away.
"Uncle, come and play..."
"Hey, isn't this Mr. Zhao? Alian has been waiting for you for a long time. Come on, come on, please come inside..."
Su Chen looked at a high attic not far away.
Along the way, Danzhou was the only place that was bustling with activity.
"Tsk, tsk, this is really prosperous and prosperous!"
Su Chen couldn't help but said in admiration.
However, Su Chen soon felt something was wrong.
