You won’t be afraid if you learn mathematics, physics and chemistry well and cultivate immortality

Although not all official roads are dirt roads, the road surface is narrow in some places, and weeds and shrubs have grown wildly into the middle of the dirt road. These are small things for Musk.

After galloping all the way, this time we actually approached the town in about an hour. The weather was good and the road surface was hard and not muddy. It may also have something to do with the fact that the horse had not let go for several days and ran away. It was really a good run. , I can’t hold it back.

After stopping the carriage, he changed into another robe. It was still the green robe he wore when he sworn brother and sister that day. The collar and mouth of the robe had gold embroidery. He transformed directly from the village dog boy into the little fairy Musk. He looks like a handsome and handsome young man. As expected, a man relies on his clothes and a horse relies on his saddle. The ancients do not deceive me.

After changing my clothes, I remembered something. The clothes I changed out early in the morning seemed to be soaking in the basin. I was in a hurry and forgot to wash them. Since they were all out, it was more important to do business.

After driving and strolling into the town, it was still the same. The town was far from lively, so I went to the inn and restaurant first, which was also the only inn.

Hitch the carriage, put a rope around Wangcai, and lead him through the open door. I saw the shopkeeper calculating accounts at the counter, and the landlady sweeping the room. I didn't see the tough-headed kid from last time, who must have gone to school.

"Oh, let me tell you! The magpies have been chirping on the trees in the courtyard all morning. It turns out that there are distinguished guests coming to our door! Young Master, please come inside. Madam, Madam, hurry up and make a pot of good tea to entertain the distinguished guests. "The shopkeeper looked up when he saw someone coming in. Isn't this the young master from a few days ago? He quickly opened the account and greeted him warmly.

When Musk heard such a familiar plot, it was true that this is the case for distinguished guests.

"I haven't seen the shopkeeper for a few days, but he still looks like the same person!" Musk joked.

"Hahaha, you're welcome, young master. Please sit down, please sit down. Are you okay?" After greeting Musk, the shopkeeper sat down without being polite. He sat next to him and asked, because it was neither early nor late at this time. As the saying goes, if you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall if there is nothing going on, something must be going on.

"Oh, it's nothing. I just plan to reserve a table at your place and treat the county magistrate and the master to have a light lunch. I just don't know if you can accept it." Musk directly explained the purpose of his visit without going around.

"Ah, you want to invite Magistrate Cheng and the others. It's easy to talk about. What kind of dishes do you want? Are there any details?" The shopkeeper saw that there was a big deal and asked directly.

"Just make it like nine dishes and one soup, a combination of meat and vegetables, hot and cold dishes, and a jar of the best wine in your inn. Oh, by the way, go get the fish from my carriage. There is one in the bucket. If it's big, you can let the chef watch it when the time comes." Musk said his request, after all, it shouldn't be too shabby to treat someone to a meal.

"Oh, sir, don't worry, I will definitely guarantee your satisfaction. My wife's cooking skills are ranked among the best in the town." The shopkeeper responded with a smile.

"Take it and go buy it first! Just return more and make up less." Musk took out a five-tael silver ingot that he had prepared and put it on the table.

"Young master, please have some tea." The landlady brought over two cups of tea. After all the discussion, the tea was ready.

"Thank you!" Musk said sincerely. After all, the egg pancakes he had in the morning were salted, and he was indeed thirsty after driving the carriage for so long.

"Young Master, please take your time to drink tea here. I'll excuse you. I have to make arrangements to buy the ingredients for lunch. I'm afraid it won't be fresh if it's late." The shopkeeper took the money, excused himself to go shopping, and left.

"It's okay, you can go and do your work! I have to go to the county government later." Musk didn't care and just drank tea by himself. He blew the tea while sipping it. The tea was not bad. It was fragrant and sweet in the mouth and left a fragrant mouthfeel. It's too hot.

"Hey, drink slowly." After the shopkeeper said that, he went to the back hall to arrange things.

Musk waited until the tea was almost cold and drank it in one gulp, then blew another cup to cool it down and drank it.

Then he got up and took Wangcai and went out to the county government office to find Magistrate Cheng. The answer was: Magistrate Cheng. Master Wu made a mental note several times to make sure he didn't make a mistake, otherwise it would be embarrassing.

After walking for a while, I arrived at the gate of the county government office. It was still an old and shabby county government office. There was still no one standing guard at the gate, so I had to step in.

The furnishings inside are messy. Isn't it a coincidence when I go in and see that one of the government officials was wiping the tables and chairs last time, and there are some broken tiles piled on the floor. I guess they took advantage of the good weather to repair the leaking part of the roof in the past few days.

"Young master, are you here again? Are you here to see the county magistrate?" The Yamen Chai brother still remembers this man. He came here a few days ago, and the magistrate sent him out respectfully.

"Well, yes, if you have anything to discuss with the county magistrate," Musk responded with a smile.

"Oh, that's it. Your Excellency is in the back hall, do you want me to take you there?" the Yachai asked politely.

"No, I won't bother you. You can just do your thing. I can go by myself." Musk has already been here once, and the back hall is such a big place, so he won't bother others.

"Oh, that's okay. If you need anything, just call me." After finishing speaking, the Yachai boy continued to wipe the table.

Musk took Wangcai and walked inside. What a coincidence today. As soon as they entered the back hall, they saw Magistrate Cheng and Master Wu sitting opposite each other on chairs in the corridor, playing Go and fanning themselves.

"Magistrate Cheng is so elegant!" Musk said awkwardly as he approached and didn't know what to say.

"Hey, isn't this Master Ma? I wonder what kind of wind blew you here." Magistrate Cheng raised his head and greeted him. When Master Wu turned his head, he messed up the chessboard.

"You, you, you are cheating." When Master Wu heard the sound of the chessboard being disturbed, it was too late, and he could only fume and glare at you for a while.

"Young man, I've met Mr. Cheng and Master Wu." Musk gave a timely greeting to ease the atmosphere.

"Hahaha, Ma Xianshi, hurry up, come in and sit down." Magistrate Cheng was very happy, mainly because Musk appeared at the critical moment and disrupted the chess game that was about to be lost.

Following the county magistrate, Master Wu, although angry, followed him into the house. The county magistrate was quite cheerful and made tea for all three of them before they sat down. The guests and hosts were seated separately and they asked about their intention without being too polite.

"Master Ma Xian, why did you come to the county government office to see me this time?"

"Oh, Lord County Magistrate, I won't beat around the bush with you. Can I just tell you the truth?" Musk, who is so formal, can't stand it.

"Okay, you can just say it. Whatever can be done will be done for you." Magistrate Cheng expressed his position directly. He was thinking that it must be something about that house.

"Well, that's it. Magistrate Cheng, could you please call on some manpower to help repair the road from the town to Majia Village? It doesn't have to be like the official road, which is wide and easy to accumulate water. Use some sand and gravel to fill the place." Musk said his intention.

"Ah, well, building bridges and paving roads is a charitable act. The county also wants to build it. To tell you the truth, the money in the county's account is really not tight. You see, the county government has not repaired it for many years." Upon hearing this, County Magistrate Cheng directly said that he had no money to waste it.

"Mr. Cheng, you misunderstood what I meant. What I meant was that the county government just needs to recruit people, and I will pay for it." Musk had already guessed this situation and directly showed his trump card.

"Ah, this." Magistrate Cheng picked up the teacup and took a sip, then winked at the master beside him while the cup was covering his face.

"Master Ma Xian, the road from this county to Majia Village stretches for almost twenty miles. How do you plan to repair it?" Master Wu took the hint and asked.

"It doesn't have to be as good as the official road. You just need to be able to walk with the carriage, decorate your things, and not get stuck in it when it rains. You don't know. When I went back a few days ago, I walked for three hours on this small distance." Si Ke made the request he had thought of.

"Oh, if you want to drive a carriage, you need to pave some gravel. One mile of this land costs about two taels of silver, and the labor costs about one tael. It is twenty miles from here to Majia Village, and it will cost at least sixty taels." Master Wu made a quick calculation. Provide approximate data.

"Okay, I'll pay a hundred taels, and the extra money will be donated to the county to repair the county government office." Musk boldly took out a hundred taels of silver notes from his arms and handed it to the county magistrate.

"Okay, okay, thank you Master Ma for your generous donation. I will arrange for manpower to repair this road as soon as possible. I guarantee your satisfaction." County Magistrate Cheng happily took the banknote and promised it.

The class representative said: Sure enough, money can make a ghost grind. If the money is given enough, the ghost can grind himself.

Seeing that the matter was settled, Musk proposed to have a casual lunch together, and he happily agreed. It was getting late, so the three of them got up and prepared to have lunch. When I walked to the front yard, I saw that the office boy was still busy. Musk also invited this destined person to have dinner with him.

There is a saying that goes well, the king of hell is easy to deal with, but the devil is difficult to deal with. As for the relationship, everything will be fine.

The Yamen Chai looked at the county magistrate with a questioning look. The magistrate nodded slightly in agreement, and the four of them happily walked together.
