Chapter 54 If you want to be rich, build roads first

On the second day, Chu Chen went down to the first floor feeling refreshed.

Then I saw Wang Defa sitting on the big sofa in the living room, chatting with Sister Liu about home affairs.

"Uncle Wang, what orders do you have so early?"

Chu Chen stepped forward and greeted Wang Defa.

"Nothing, I just came to tell you that the road in Mashan Village is being widened and construction is going to start today."

This speed is okay. It seems that Wang Defa's efficiency is quite high.

"Then Uncle Lao Wang, I didn't expect you to be so fast."

Wang Defa smiled coquettishly, as if he was holding something back.

After a long time, he finally said: "Well...it's fast to start the construction, but the food for those men, women, old and young, as well as the ox carts and materials for quarrying and pulling stone, are all..."

At this point, Chu Chen knew his purpose, so he hurriedly said.

"Uncle Wang, do you have a budget? How much will it cost? I've already paid for it."

"Oh, thank you so much Chu Wazi. I roughly calculated it. You give me 100 taels first. If there is more, I will return it to you."

After hearing this, Chu Chen turned around and returned to the room.

When he came out again, he had fifteen more silver ingots in his hand.

"What did Uncle Wang say? This is 150 taels, which is not enough for me to add more, but the roads must be built solidly, drainage ditches must be left, and everyone must be well fed."

Wang Defa happily took the money and said immediately: "It's okay to eat well, but for the drainage ditch and so on, I guess you, Chu Wazi, will have to participate."

Chu Chen thought for a while and said, "No problem, I'll go there after the work starts. I'll draw a drawing and give it to Uncle Feng. He is proficient in this aspect."

"That's good, uncle, I won't bother you and I'll take my leave first."

Although he was talking, his eyes glanced towards the kitchen from time to time. Damn, it's good to have money. The smell of meat can be smelled in the morning.

"Why are you so anxious? Sit down and have breakfast before leaving."

Chu Chen pulled Wang Defa to sit down and asked Xiaofang to add a pair of bowls and chopsticks.

At this time, people in the room got up one after another, and everyone greeted Wang Defa enthusiastically.

This was very useful to him.

"Morning, Uncle Wang."

"Good morning, Mr. Zhou."

When Zhou Heng arrived, he started chatting with Wang Defa.

Zhou Heng also had a good impression of this village chief and recognized his appeal.

"What, Mashan Village is going to build a road? Isn't there a road?"

While Zhou Heng was chatting, he suddenly became louder.

He thought it was strange. There was already a road that could pass oxcarts and horse-drawn carriages, so why did I have to spend money and material resources to expand it?

"Um, Brother Zhou, don't make such a fuss. Mashan Village will get better and better in the future. As the saying goes, if you want to be rich, build roads first. The uses of these roads are huge."

Chu Chen couldn't help but go up and interject.

"But if this originally good road is built so wide, isn't it a waste?"

It seems that this person from the royal family doesn't have much knowledge, Chu Chen said in his heart. After the two days of contact, Chu Chen has confirmed that he is a person from the royal family.

"Then let me ask you, how is the price of rice in Beijing?"

Chu Chen asked with a smile on his face.

"Twenty to twenty-five cents per liter, does it matter?"

Zhou Heng said with a puzzled look.

"Haha, rice is produced in the south. When ordinary people grow good rice, it only costs ten cents per liter to reach the sky. Of the ten to fifteen cents, at least three cents are spent on transportation. There are many things to go through in between. Human transportation, village roads and official roads need to be replaced by vehicles, and water transportation, etc.”

"But if there is a road that can pass large cars and lead directly to the capital, do you think Sanwen is still needed?"

After saying that, he ignored Zhou Heng and started eating breakfast on his own.

But Zhou Heng murmured in his heart: "If you want to be rich, build roads first. If I have roads everywhere in Daxia..."

Suddenly, as if he had discovered something, his eyes shone with light.

After the meal, Chu Chen spent half an hour drawing a sketch of the various components of the road.

Just walked towards the village head.

Seeing Chu Chen going out, Zhou Heng immediately followed him.

Chu Chen didn't care about this either. If he wanted to follow, just let him follow.

"Uncle Feng Wu, we must have this drainage ditch." Chu Chen shouted to Feng Wu on the construction site.

"Chu Wazi, why are you here? What is a drainage ditch?"

Chu Chen handed over the sketch. This thing was also copied from the book corner in the space.

You ask him to explain it, but he doesn’t explain it very clearly, so he can only give you a picture.

Unexpectedly, Feng Wu looked at the drawings for a while and started talking excitedly.

"Wonderful, why didn't I think of it? With these drainage ditches and slopes, there won't be water accumulation during heavy rains, which greatly reduces the chance of being washed away by mud."

"I asked you, Chu Wazi, why are you so smart?"

Chu Chen giggled, I'm just stupid, I just copied it.

At this time, Zhou Heng snatched the blueprint and slowly figured out the way.

So he said to Chu Chen: "Brother Chu, can you give me this picture as a gift?"

"Well, Brother Zhou, since you live in my house, we are brothers. Between brothers, there is nothing to hide. We must be sincere."

"Since you want it, when Uncle Feng figures it out, why not give it to you."

After speaking, Chu Chen gave him a meaningful look.

Zhou Heng's heart skipped a beat. It seemed that his identity couldn't be hidden from him.

But this was not the place to talk, so he nodded, took the drawings and started studying with Feng Wu.

For Feng Wu, Chu Chen has never arranged any specific work for him, but he will give him salary every month.

This person is the key to the construction of the entire Mashan Village. He is a technical talent and is quick to accept new things.

"Uncle Feng, how long will it take to repair it according to these requirements?"

Chu Chen took a step forward and asked.

"Chu Wazi, I'm not bragging. As long as everyone works together, there will definitely be no problem before the Chinese New Year."

After hearing Feng Wu's assurance, Chu Chen said a few polite words and returned home.

But Zhou Heng followed Feng Wu closely to see how he operated.

Feng Wu didn't pay much attention to this studious rich man and just followed him.

Thus, the road reconstruction and expansion project in Mashan Village began in a grand manner.

Wang Defa is so busy every day that his feet never touch the ground, and he is very happy.

On the premise of ensuring output in the workshop, everyone also participated in the road construction project.

Ever since we were paid once and everyone had spare money, their lives have undergone earth-shaking changes.

Although there is no big fish or meat, there is no hunger anymore.

Moreover, those who work in the workshop have their daily meals covered by the workshop, and with the spare money, they can also purchase some other items.

At this time, Chu Chen was sitting leisurely on a big rock in the back mountain.

Looking at the dry land in Mashan Village, I was stunned.
