Xiao Pingfu took his son to the patriarch's house, but was told that the patriarch was not at home. After asking, he found out that the patriarch had gone to the entrance of the village, and the two hurriedly ran to the entrance of the village.
Rush to the entrance of the village.
Chief Xiao was leading a group of villagers to block the entrance of the village, preventing the head guard and carriages from entering.
"Clan Chief Xiao, Chief Xiao, wait a minute." Xiao Pingfu hurriedly squeezed into the crowd, followed closely by Xiao Maidong. They pushed to the front while protecting his father, "Clan Chief Xiao, we can't drive them away. They are entrusted by the county chief to transport Good things are coming."
Patriarch Xiao looked back, his stern and cold eyes softened, "Butler Xiao, why are you here."
"I went to your house to find you, but I didn't expect you to come to the village entrance. I hurried over to find you. These people and the things on the carriage were all sent by the county master. I They were supposed to arrive with us, but there were too many things. They had to wait until they were ready before sending them over. They set off out of the capital a few days later than us. The things along the way were heavy and numerous, so they walked a little slower. It’s been almost two months since it arrived.”
Two months have not come yet, but one and a half months have come.
"That's it!" Patriarch Xiao saw that the guards escorting the cement had knives in their hands, and his pounding heart felt a little better. "Since you are the county lord, let's come in."
Xiao Pingfu smiled and said repeatedly: "It's time to go in. The cement delivered here is to build roads for the clan."
"Build a road?" Chief Xiao didn't understand. The road they were using now was good!
"Clan Chief Xiao, you don't know in Xianyun County that the capital and surrounding towns have long begun to use cement to build roads. The roads are durable and you are not afraid of mud and water in rainy days. Walking on them is very smooth and will not be bumpy. " Xiao Pingfu signaled to Chief Xiao, and the two of them walked to the side to avoid everyone. Xiao Pingfu continued: "The head of our county is the one who was granted a title for cement."
"That must be something good!"
Patriarch Xiao's first reaction was to slap his hands, "I am blind."
"No, what our county chief has done is not good! With the widespread use of cement to build roads, we will have good roads up and down Dazhao in the future, and travel will be more convenient." Xiao Pingfu said cheerfully, "Let's go out of Beijing At that time, cement roads were basically built around the capital."
Chief Xiao suppressed the doubts in his heart. After all, he had never seen what a road made of cement looked like, and said, "It's the county chief who thinks about his tribe."
"Exactly, Chief Xiao invites the guards of the Ji family to come in. Where to put the cement, the chief must also give a clear place for stacking. The cement cannot regain moisture. The chief will check where to put it. After that, the clan will build roads and travel. How to build this avenue depends on the clan leaders and elders to make a decision."
Minghua's plan was revealed to him at once.
"Won't the county chief come forward?"
"The County Lord needs to brush up on his lessons."
Chief Xiao nodded, "I understand. If you go back and inform the county leader, I will definitely get things done. But, how should we use the cement?"
"Don't worry, Patriarch, there are people who can use cement among the accompanying guards."
Patriarch Xiao felt relieved and returned to his original position with Xiao Pingfu. Xiao Pingfu said to the leader of the guards, "Captain Feng, thank you for your hard work along the way. The county master remembers your contribution; the county master asked me to send these. If you are willing to go all the way, you can share a share of the money inside, and treat it as if the county master is treating you to a drink.”….
The leader of the guards took the big purse and weighed it. It was heavy in his hands. It was quite a lot.
"The county master is very kind. I am in a hurry to go back and recover. I wonder where the cement is?"
Xiao Pingfu glanced at Patriarch Xiao, who stood up and said, "Please bring your things and come with me."
"Well, keep going." The leader of the guards nodded to Patriarch Xiao, then waved back, and the guards escorting Cement took hold of Cement and continued on their way.
Patriarch Xiao brought people to the door of his house and shouted into the house, "Child, mother, prepare tea and food quickly."
"Chief Xiao, there is no need to spend money. We are in a hurry. Could you please point out a place to put the cement? We will leave after unloading the goods." The leader of the guards said.
"That won't work. I have to let you all have a warm meal." Chief Xiao was particularly insistent.
to the end
In the end, the leader of the guards could not refuse and ate a hot meal after unloading the goods. There were three or more guards accompanying him, and the head of the Xiao family was bleeding heavily.
After eating, the leader of the guards left five guards behind and told Xiao Pingfu.
"Steward Xiao, the five of them were told by the young master to stay here to protect the county lord. Two of the five of them know how to use cement and how to build roads. You can give them guidance for two days." As for road construction, People, that is a matter of the Xiao family and has nothing to do with them.
Xiao Pingfu responded with a smile, "I'll see you off."
"No need to send it off, let's go."
Take the carriage with you by the way.
After the people left, Xiao Pingfu glanced at his son, then turned to the clan leader and said, "Clan leader, I will take the five guards home to pay homage to the county leader."
"Okay, the five guards want to live in the village permanently. Should they live closer to the county lord, or make other arrangements?" The closer one is at Minghua's house.
"Of course we have to be close."
Chief Xiao nodded to express his understanding. Since it was close, it was not his turn to make arrangements.
Xiao Pingfu and Xiao Maidong led the people home and asked them to wait in the yard; Xiao Pingfu went to Minghua's door, and after being informed by the waiter, Minghua, Minghua walked out of the house.
"County Master, these five guards are all left by Young Master Ji to protect your safety."
"Greetings to the Lord of Zhaoyang County." The five of them knelt down together.
Minghua raised her hand and said, "Everyone, get up. There is no need to kneel down. I have to ask you to protect my safety from now on."
"It's what the young ones should do." The five of them said in unison, and then stood up.
"Tell me your names." Minghua started, and the five people introduced themselves from left to right.
"Little Chen Yue."
"Little Takanobu."
"Little Luo Minjie."
"Little Ning Fu."
"Little Ninglu."
"Ning Fu, Ning Lu, are you two brothers?" Minghua turned his attention to them.
The two nodded, "Back to the county master, yes, we are brothers."
Although they are not twins, they are still born from the same mother's womb.
Minghua nodded slightly, "It looks similar. Which of you knows how to use cement and understands the process of building roads?"
"Little meeting." The one who stood up was Ning Fu.
Ning Lu stood up and said, "Young ones can do it too."
"Okay, you go find the clan leader first. Together with the clan leader, you will be responsible for helping to build the road from the clan to the county seat." Minghua said.
"Yes, County Lord, the young ones will take their leave first."
Minghua nodded and watched them walk out of the yard. There were three people left in the yard. Minghua looked at Xiao Pingfu and said, "The house at home is not enough. Let's discuss how to arrange a place for them. Let's get them some food and drink first." Come, have a good rest after eating and drinking."
"County Master, they ate at the patriarch's house."
Minghua's eyes moved slightly, "Okay, you go and call my parents to come to the main room to discuss their accommodation."
