After listening to Zhuang Fengshou's long words, Li Qiao thought for a moment, and then said: "Then I will print the notes I took when I was studying for the children in the village. Although I don't know how much it will improve them, I will definitely be able to improve them." Let them avoid detours."
"Eh? Is this okay?"
Zhuang Fengshou was happy when he heard this, but then quickly turned to look at the room next to him.
Li Xiaorui's cheerful laughter was coming from the room.
"The notes you took when taking the No. 1 Scholar exam should be your family's secret, right?" The Li family now has quite a few dolls...
Li Qiao laughed when he heard this: "My notes are indeed of some value, but how much each person can learn depends on his or her personal understanding. Besides, my notes summarize the contents of the Four Books, Five Classics, Three Histories, and Three Traditions. Mainly to facilitate recitation and understanding.”
"What really affects whether everyone can gain fame or not is the topic proposed by the Supreme Being. But the rules of the topic proposed by the Supreme Being were summarized by me as early as when Brother Wen was taking the scholar examination, and it has already spread throughout Dasheng."
"That's it...okay."
Zhuang Fengshou was relieved after hearing this.
Then he thanked Li Qiao on behalf of the villagers. He had really accumulated great virtues in his previous life, but in this life, a person like Li Qiao appeared in the village.
Not only did his son gain academic status, but he also brought the whole village together.
He will have to do more good deeds in the future, otherwise he will not be worthy of this blessing.
Meng Yue, who was on the side, finally got to speak.
"Brother Li, let me shamelessly take advantage of you. My family will also buy a piece of land in Weiqing County. You see that you always try to win over your neighbors. Compared with you, I really have no shame to meet the villagers."
He was able to pass the Jinshi examination, but the people in his village did not help him. The relationship between him and the people in his village was not as close as that in Liqiao-Sanliu Village.
However, it is human nature to give back to the hometown after becoming prosperous.
Moreover, following the Seventh Prince in the past few years and watching the Seventh Prince devote himself to prosperity and the people, he has also been affected a lot.
As an official in Dasheng, he has the responsibility to benefit the people.
But in fact, he can't even benefit his family.
He has been an official for several years, but his family is still hard at work in farming.
This time when his parents came to Beijing, he felt really uncomfortable when he saw the white hair on his head and the rough wrinkles on his face.
Since he couldn't let the second elder have a grandson, he would let the second elder live a prosperous life first.
Therefore, he was no longer polite to Li Qiao. He took advantage of this and would repay it later when he was able.
"Hey, you finally figured it out."
Li Qiao was a little surprised when he heard this, but then nodded immediately: "No problem, you can buy as many acres as you want."
"I have limited money, so I can't buy much. My family is not a business person. When I saw it, they probably rented it out to collect rent."
Meng Yue smiled bitterly.
"However, as long as I can make my family live a good life and help the villagers, I don't care about my face."
"You are so shameless. It's too outrageous for you to say this."
Li Qiao shook his head and asked curiously: "How do you want to help your fellow villagers?"
"Like you, build the road first. Stucco is a good thing. When the time comes, the road from the village to the county town will be built into a mortar road. This will make it much easier for the villagers to go to the county town to sell sweet potatoes."
"That's it..."
Li Qiao was stunned, but quickly said: "Then I might as well build the road."
"You build roads? The adobe brick roads in your village have been built a long time ago." Meng Yue said.
Zhuang Fengshou couldn't help but ask: "Where do you want to build the road?"
"Build roads throughout the county."
"What?"
Meng Yue frowned, suspecting that she heard wrongly.
Zhuang Fengshou, Zhuang Wen, Li Liang, and Meng's father were also shocked. How about building roads throughout the county?
"Now I have fields all over the county. Because the roads are not good, it takes a long time for my family to go to these fields to supervise the work. Moreover, the sweet potatoes in the whole county need to be transported to the sweet potato workshops in the county to make vermicelli. Since I start from sweet potatoes If the workshop gets a share, then I might as well build all the roads in the county, since there is mortar anyway.”
Li Qiao explained with a smile.
His roots are no longer limited to Sanliu Village.
Now the entire Pingcheng can be regarded as his roots.
Meng Yue was so poor that he didn't forget to build roads for the villagers, so he, a millionaire, might as well build all the roads in the county.
One is to facilitate his family, and the other is to earn a good reputation.
Sheng Hong would definitely be happy for him to do this.
Chapter 191 The barbarians invaded the border and Sheng Hong became angry
"How much money will it cost?"
Li Liang clicked his tongue.
Pingcheng is so big!
"Brother, you said before that there are hundreds of acres of first-class fields in Wangshan Town. Every time you go there in an oxcart, you have to walk for two days. If you transport the food there, it will take even more time. Long."
"But if a cement road is built, the time spent will definitely be reduced by half, and it will be easier to transport food."
"For the convenience of our own family, just spend some money. Besides, this mortar is actually cheaper than adobe bricks. Even if we build all the roads in the county, it will only cost hundreds of thousands of taels of silver."
Li Qiao knew that Li Liang felt sorry for Yinliang, but he didn't feel it just now. Now that he thought about it, he felt that this road must be repaired.
From then on, Li Liang Wang Guihua settled in Shengjing, and the fields in Sanliu Village were mainly taken care of by Li Gu, his second uncle.
Li Gu is not young anymore. Is it possible that he has to ride a bullock cart for two days every time he goes to Wangshan Town?
It's not like he has no money.
This road must be repaired.
Hearing this, Li Liang frowned so much that he could kill a mosquito, but he already agreed.
"Oh, forget it, you earned the money anyway. As long as you don't feel bad, I won't nag you."
"I feel bad, but why did our Li family have its roots in Pingcheng? Our home must be made comfortable and convenient."
"When I retire and return to my hometown, Brother Zhu and I will definitely go back. I don't say how long we will stay, but we will definitely stay for a while."
"When the time comes, Brother Zhu and I will go inspect our fields, but we are old at that time, and our bodies will definitely not be able to withstand the bumpy dirt road. So this road will have to be repaired sooner or later."
His big house with two front and back yards, he and Tao Zhu's happy hometown, must go back and see it in this life.
Li Qiao's words touched Li Liang's heart, and his brows finally relaxed.
Although he and Wang Guihua decided to stay in Beijing, Sanliu Village was where he grew up and there were still a group of relatives there, so he would like to go back and have a look in the future.
"You can do it if you want. It's your decision." He said to Li Qiao.
"Okay, I will report it to the Holy One tomorrow."
As a loyal and pure minister with no secrets in front of Sheng Hong, Li Qiao would report any big moves to Sheng Hong first.
Meng Yue saw that Li Qiao had decided on such a big matter in just a few words, and couldn't help but be envious. It's great to have money!
"Brother Li, what about me? I also want to do something for my fellow villagers."
"You can build the road from your village to the county seat, but I won't compete with you on this road." Li Qiao said with a smile.
"Sure, it's settled."
Meng Yue readily agreed.
With his current savings, it is enough to build this road.
Seeing that Li Qiao had made up his mind, Zhuang Fengshou thought for a while and then said: "The whole Pingcheng is quite wealthy now. Building such a big road will not only be convenient for your family. In my opinion, it will be just like when building adobe brick roads." Like, let everyone donate some voluntarily."
"No matter how much or how little you donate, we welcome you. It doesn't matter if you don't donate. It's all voluntary."
"Well, village chief, I know you are doing it for my own good, but with my current prestige, as long as you call for it, every household will definitely donate. If someone thinks that it doesn't matter whether the road is built or not, and is unwilling to donate, but I am forced If I have to give up my power, then these people will definitely be resentful of me."
Li Qiao didn't want to take money from other people's pockets. He and Tao Zhu had quietly donated money to the disaster-stricken government in the south, just because they didn't want other officials to be forced to donate.
Donations are purely voluntary.
Not everyone is willing to build roads.
Just like the news he watched in his previous life, even if the government builds roads for free, there are still people who are unwilling to do so for many reasons.
If that's the case, then he might as well fix it himself.
"You, I have never seen a child like you."
Zhuang Fengshou couldn't help but sigh.
In the past, Li Qiao had no power, so he was cautious and considerate of the villagers. This is true.
Now that he is a third-rank official, he still considers and takes care of every villager as much as possible. To be honest, this is the first time in his life and two dynasties that he has seen such an official.
"No, Brother Li always remembers the hardships of the people at the bottom. There are indeed not many such good officials."
Meng Yue couldn't help but said.
"That's not true. Zhang Laosan and others some time ago really slapped me in the face. Stop praising me, come on, come on, keep playing cards."
Li Qiao said, grabbing another card and beckoning the people on the card table to continue.
"You didn't mean it."
Meng Yue also picked up the card: "You are young, and it is normal for you to not worry about things sometimes."
"What's going on with Zhang Laosan?" Zhuang Fengshou asked curiously.
"Royal Logistics robbed him..." Zhuang Wen immediately popularized science for his father.
Zhuang Fengshou, Li Liang, and Meng Fu felt a little sad when they heard this. It turned out that such a thing still happened.
Even in Shengjing, the lives of the people at the bottom are not easy.
