"How do we discuss this matter? Liu Ergou from his village said he knew the road construction team of the Song family in the county and wanted to help us build the road. Our village collected a hundred taels of silver and gave it to him, but he took the money and ran away! "

The people in Liujiayu were almost going crazy. They agreed to repair the broken roads and bridges in their village years ago, but now it's April and Liu Ergou himself can't be found.

"That's because the people in your village are stupid!"

"Liu Ergou is just a scoundrel. Do you believe what he says?"

Everyone in Dazhang Village is scratching their heads. Isn’t it the money they collect? Why should I seek compensation from their village?

"We don't care. Liu Ergou is from your village. If he escapes, your village will be responsible!"

As he said that, he had to tear it apart again.

"Don't make any noise. Isn't it just road construction? How serious is it?"

Tian Tian raised her neck and shouted at the two old men. She had a small voice and a loud voice. If she didn't shout, she couldn't cover up the noise from both sides.

"You little kid, building roads is not a big deal?"

"It's hard to find road builders from the Song family. If we didn't want to smooth out the road quickly, we wouldn't trust Liu Ergou!"

Tian Tian has long heard about the road construction team in Yu County. It is said that the road construction team has something to do with the fat county magistrate. At the beginning, the fat county magistrate wanted to put the people who built the roads in Liujia Village into jail. !

"It's hard to find the Sun family road construction team. Didn't that Liujia Village road construction team repair the road some time ago?"

Tian Quanyou heard that the road construction team in Liujiacun was about to level the Northland.

"Those people are from other places. The roads in our Yu County are not allowed to be repaired at all. The county magistrate does not allow it!"

When I talk about this, I get angry. Bai Xiulu refuses to give way and insists on letting the common people pay for it. Isn't this a corrupt official?

"The ore from our village cannot be transported out, and it is almost filling up the village. The person who collects the stones has said that if we don't deliver the goods, we will no longer collect the stones from our village!"

If they hadn't been unable to walk on the road to Liujiayu, they wouldn't have spent a hundred taels of silver!

"You produce jade here? What are they like?"

Tian Tian has never seen what the original stone looks like!

Jade is not valuable in Daqi, but jade has a wide range of uses, so it needs to be used in large quantities. Ordinary people can make a lot of money by mining rough stones.

"There is jade in the stone, but we didn't look at it carefully when we picked it out. Anyway, it's just red and green in color!"

"I heard that noble people are very rare, so we can only earn a lot of hard money!"

There is a mountain next to Liujiayu. The location is a bit like Tianjia Village, but the mountains produce jade, while the mountains in Tianjia Village only produce stones.

"Can I go take a look?"

The jade in the mall is now extremely expensive, but there is still a price but no market. Even if you have money, you may not be able to buy it.

"It doesn't matter if you look at it, wait until we resolve the matter in Dazhang Village first!"

One hundred taels of silver is not much for Liu Jiayu, but it is still a lot. The villagers earned it with a chisel and an axe, and there is no reason to take advantage of outsiders.

"What's the matter with our village? People from our village didn't cheat us out of our money. If you have the ability, go find Liu Ergou. He's even related to your Liu Jiayu!"

The head of Dazhang Village’s nose was almost crooked with anger.

The nearby villages all make a living by collecting stones from the mountains, but now the people of Liujiayu refuse to let them enter the mountains. Doesn't this cut off their income?

"Village chief, don't talk nonsense to them. We don't want the money anymore. After breaking their legs, we won't let them enter the mountain again!"

The folk customs in the North are strong and fierce. The further north you go, the more temper-tempered people become. This may also have something to do with the climate.

"It's not worth it for such a small thing as building a road. I'll cover the road here for you, but I want to go to the mountains to look at the rocks!"

With Li Jun, the road construction captain here, are you still worried that the road can't be repaired?

"Did you cover it? Building roads costs a lot of money, and we can't afford it!"

No matter who builds this road, it will definitely cost money.

"Of course the road will be repaired by experts, you don't need to pay for it!"

Anyway, all the roads in the Northland need to be built, and the small roads in the village are not inferior.

"That's great. Thank you, noble man!"

The village chief of Dazhang Village couldn't close his mouth. Someone was building the road without spending any money. They had met a kind person!

"What's the matter with you? Don't think that you'll be fine if the nobles help build the road. If you don't pay a hundred taels of silver, the people in your village will never be able to enter the mountain again!"

When the people of Liujiayu heard that Tian Tian was going to help them build roads, they were so enthusiastic that they brought out all the good things in their homes to entertain Tian Tian and the others.

"My father-in-law is kind-hearted, and my granddaughter is also kind-hearted!"

Rural people would not say anything complimentary, so they rubbed their heads and looked at Tian Tian's family in embarrassment.

"This is not my granddaughter, she is my old daughter, my baby bump!"

Tian Quan was smiling. He liked this place and felt like he was back home.

"My father-in-law is really old and strong, and he actually has such a young daughter. It seems that he must have a hard life!"

Tian Quan's family is different from the people in their village. Although they are dressed very simply, they have three bullock carts, and the cattle make the people of Liujiayu green with envy.

"We all come from poor backgrounds. As long as we work hard, we will be successful sooner or later!"

Tian Quanyou and the old lady chatted with the village chief and others, while Tian Tian took the Qinian and Rakshasa girls to look at the stones in the yard.

"Isn't this just a stone egg? How could jade grow inside?"

Qinian also has a jade pendant on his body, which was given to him by Tian Quanyou for pressing the corners of his clothes.

The jade pendant was smooth and moist, but the stone was very rough. The inexperienced Qi Nian held a stone and studied it carefully but could not see any clues.

"This is called the inner world, and I still don't understand it!"

Tian Tian deliberately dug out a stone to see the quality of the jade inside, but there was a circle of men and women surrounding the village chief's yard, which made it difficult for Tian Tian to start.

"How do you sell the stones here?"

Tian Tian took the initiative to greet people outside the yard.

"One penny and ten pounds of stone..."

The young men in the village had never seen a girl as beautiful as the Rakshasa girl, and they all looked into the yard secretly with red faces.

"Ten pounds for one penny?"

Although not all stones contain jade, the price of one penny and ten pounds is indeed a bit low.

"A penny is a lot. Stones are heavy, and the stone collector said that not all stones contain jade!"

The people of Liujiayu are very contented. Their village makes a good living by selling stones. Although people from other villages will come to collect stones, they are ultimately no match for their village.

"Are the mines in your mountains owned by individuals or the Daqi State?"

Tian Tian didn't know if the mines here were mined privately. She was not familiar with the Northland and didn't know some of the policies and rules of the Northland.
