After binding the loving mother system, I was so bad

After some inquiries, Ma Nantian finally figured out the matter of the monument of merit!

Especially after buying a copy of "Yunzhou Weekly", Ma Nantian regretted so much that he slapped his thigh when he found out that he had missed such a great opportunity just because he came a few days late.

"You are such a good guy, Ma Nantian. You came to Fuming Town without even telling me. Do you still consider me as your brother?!" Gu Shisan patted Ma Nantian's shoulder hard.

Ma Nantian looked back with a face full of resentment: "I see you don't treat me as a brother. Why didn't you send someone to tell me about such a good thing?"

Gu Shisan leaned over and glanced at the "Yunzhou Weekly" in Ma Nantian's hand, and he knew what he was talking about.

"It's not my fault! I only found out about this through the newspaper!"

Ma Nantian was still upset and rolled his eyes at him: "Why don't you help me sign up? Can I still owe you money?"

Gu Shisan was a little dumbfounded. Could this be done this way?

Fortunately, Ma Nantian was just complaining casually, not really complaining: "Forget it, I won't get angry with you, a heartless thing!"

Gu Shisan hugged Ma Nantian's neck and said, "Who are you calling stupid? If I were stupid, would I come to you as soon as your Ma family caravan arrived in Fuming Town?"

After Ma Nantian arranged the caravan, he went out for a drink with Gu Shisan.

Gu Shisan invited Ma Nantian to Baiwei Restaurant, ordered four or five stir-fried dishes, a pot of warm wine, and found a private room on the second floor.

As the living standards of the people in Fuming Town continue to improve, Baiwei Restaurant bought the shop next door, introduced stir-fried dishes and private room services, and its business is still booming.

"This chef is great! He serves authentic Huainan flavor!" Ma Nantian took a bite and was completely amazed!

As he ate mouthful after mouthful of authentic food, he dispelled his fatigue. After finishing all the food, Ma Nantian touched his round belly and sighed comfortably: "It has to taste like my hometown again!"

Gu Shisan called the waiter and ordered a few more dishes and a dessert: "Come on, your home is in Wuzhou! The taste of Wuzhou is the taste of home!"

Ma Nantian smiled bitterly: "You don't understand our feelings! In Wuzhou, even if we hire the best chef, the dishes they make will still be a little bit lacking!"

Gu Shisan poured a glass of wine for Ma Nantian: "Don't tell me that you came to Fuming Town just for a bite to eat."

Ma Nantian drank the wine in one gulp: "Am I such a greedy person? I am here to avoid disaster."

Ma Nantian smiled bitterly: "The fight between the Left and Right Wise Kings and the Khan is getting more intense. We in Wuzhou City are also in turmoil. The damned Sang family comes to me every day, which is really annoying!"

"If it really doesn't work, you and the Ma family can just sneak back together. You are familiar with this trade route anyway!"

Ma Nantian: "We can't come back. Our family members are being held captive over there! Besides, if our Ma family leaves, what will happen to the other people in Wuzhou City?"

As if he felt the atmosphere was too depressing, Ma Nantian changed the subject: "I heard that the general has integrated the seven major tribes of the grassland?! This is a really smart move! Taking advantage of the internal strife among the Tartars, he has no time to take action when the time is right!"

Speaking of this, Gu Shisan became excited!

During this meal, Gu Shisan boasted from noon to evening. To sum it up in one sentence, in this world, the general is the boss, he, Gu Shisan, is the second in command, and those grassland Tartars are all useless!

Although he knew that this was just bragging, Ma Nantian still listened with great interest.

Only when all the houses lit candles and the shops hung lanterns did the two of them walk out of the Baiwei Restaurant.

"Gu Shisan, are you my brother?" Under the yellow light, Ma Nantian's expression was extremely solemn.

"Of course!"

"Then can you do me a favor?"

"What are you going to do?"

Ma Nantian said word by word: "I want to see the general!"

Gu Shisan put away his relaxed look and asked seriously, "What's the matter?!"

Ma Nantian's eyes were filled with two blazing flames: "I want to be on the merit tablet too!"

Gu Shisan took a breath and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "Just for this?"

"Correct!"

Gu Shisan thought there was some urgent military intelligence that needed to be reported secretly, but this is it? !

Gu Shisan closed his eyes, left a message, and turned away: "Get lost!"

Despite the scolding, Gu Shisan still did what his brother asked.

Inside the governor's mansion, Gu Nanxi couldn't stop grinning after hearing the whole story.

Gu Nanxi said to Ma Nantian, "Look at you. You should have just submitted the invitation when you wanted to. You got scolded by him for nothing! The design drawings of the drum carts you sent are extremely useful. All of them will be installed in Woye Town this year!"

Ma Nantian smiled sheepishly, looking taciturn and honest: "It's good to be of use to the general."

Gu Shisan on the side rolled his eyes. What a pretentious guy!

The three of them exchanged greetings for a while, and Ma Nantian looked at Gu Nanxi eagerly.

Gu Nanxi was in a dilemma: "Master Ma, it's not that I don't want to do it, but it's all been decided. Once the money from each family is in place, the official road will be built! At this time, it would not be good to leave any family behind."

Ma Nantian didn't say anything, just sat there, wiping his tears like a punching bag.

Seeing him like this, Gu Nanxi felt uncomfortable.

He risked his life and traveled all the way from Wuzhou to Yunzhou to give money to Gu Nanxi. He did not seek fame or profit, but just wanted to donate some money to build a road.

Gu Nanxi could not satisfy this small request.

Gu Nanxi looked at Gu Shisan for help, but Gu Shisan shrugged helplessly, indicating that he was powerless to help.

Gu Nanxi pinched her eyebrows, what should she do?

Seeing that the atmosphere was set, Ma Nantian weakly suggested: "Sir, how about letting our Ma family repair the straight road from the south gate to the north gate of Fuming Town?"

This road is actually paved with bluestone bricks, but after all, it has been around for a long time, and many of the stones have broken into pieces, making it not very stable for a tricycle to travel on it.

So Gu Nanxi decided to renovate several main roads in Fuming Town.

Due to the special status of Fuming Town, these main roads were not put out to public bidding, but were paid for by the Governor's Office.

Those powerful people were very covetous of these main roads, but they did not dare to ask anyone to plead with Gu Nanxi.

"I'm afraid..."

Without waiting for Gu Nanxi to refuse, Ma Nantian said, "We don't want to erect a monument of merit, we just want the right to suggest a name!"

Oh my god, this right of suggestion is used to cheat local tyrants!

How can it be used to cheat your own people?

"Master Ma, please listen to my explanation..."

Ma Nantian didn't listen. He opened a wooden box next to his feet, and inside were gold ingots!

"General, our Ma family only wants the right to make a suggestion!"

Looking at the shining gold, Gu Nanxi was a little tempted, but still, suppressed by her conscience, she decided to politely refuse him.

Ma Nantian knelt down and said, "General, please listen to our naming before you refuse!"

"Say it!"

Ma Nantian bowed deeply and said in a clear and melodious voice: "Dingbei Road! We want to call this road Dingbei Road!"
