The husband's son-in-law

A cement processing plant was built.

It is said to be a processing plant, but it is actually a small workshop in modern terms. The workshops are divided into firing and hammering. There are clay workshops and limestone processing workshops. These are production workshops, and there are warehouses for stacking burnt cement. Firewood, where the workers live.

For the time being.

The finance of Bolinfu County is 200 taels, Zhaozhou City has more, and there is more than 4000 taels. It is a big project to build roads. In fact, the labor cost is the lowest. It will be slack soon, and the villagers will be forced to labor. Just take care of the food.

Even so, it would cost a lot to build the main road connecting Zhaozhou City with the five prefectures and counties, as well as its towns and villages.Naturally, it takes a long time. This is a big project.

In order to use the money wisely, the village road is set to be two meters wide. Nowadays, there are mostly small carts, two meters is enough, the town is three meters wide, and the main road leading to the prefecture is four meters. The path is [-] meters wide--it will be a carriage in the later stage, so it is better to make it wider.

As listed in the plan book, Gu Zhao led people on horseback in the past few days to modify and supplement on the spot, and divided the main roads between Bolin and the seven towns. It was already the end of September at this time.

"My lord, all the materials from the cement factory have arrived." The servant replied.

Gu Zhao put the things away in his schoolbag and said, "Send someone to watch the factory and return to Zhaozhou."

The people at the bottom should have said yes, and then they were taken aback when they heard the adults say that they were going back to Zhaozhou. Why didn't they make 'cement'?This is back to Zhaozhou?But he didn't dare to ask carefully, Mr. Gu had already gone out like the wind.

Gu Zhao got on his horse, and his subordinates brought them all, without even asking why.

When he came here, Gu Zhao felt that he was not a novice on horseback riding, but when he went back and trotted all the way, it took more than two days to reach Zhaozhou City before he realized the difference. He is really an 'old driver' now.

Not long after Gu Zhao led his people into the city, the three major families in Zhaozhou City knew about it.

"Master Gu is back? Didn't he build a cement factory in Bolin?"

"Is it back? Don't make cement anymore? But what is cement? It's water and mud."

"According to the news that came back, it is said that it is used for road construction."

"The water used for road construction is muddy? Isn't it enough to scrape down the weeds, shovel the stones, and make it flat?"

"Who knows, it's probably something rare in Beijing. It's not worth putting it here. It's a waste of effort."

"Let's go for the fee, anyway, it's not your family who pays for the road repair."

A few people thought so, but then again, Mr. Gu has never seen anyone since he took office, and he plunged into Bolin. It seems that he is not easy to get along with. I don't know if he can see him this time when he comes back?

But since ancient times, they have never been disgusted by businessmen and officials, so they have to nod and bow over and over again to hand in the post if they don't see rejection.

The merchants on the countertops in Zhaozhou City were all moved after hearing the news.

Gu Zhao rode fast all the way into the city, and when he arrived at the gate of the yamen, he said to the yamen servant, "You go back and rest for a few days before leaving." The rest of them naturally returned home with him.

The gate of Li Mansion was closed.

The concierge opened the door, one person saluted, and the other stepped in quickly to interpret.

"Master is back."

"My lord is back!"

Li Zhouzhou, who was eating in the main hall, mostly stopped his chopsticks. Li Zhouzhou stood up with a smile on his face. Fubao, who was sitting on the baby chair, seemed to have an antenna on his head. He received the message a little later. His eyes widened.

"Daddy is back!" Fu Bao asked for Daddy, but he hadn't seen him for a long time.

Li Da got off the baby chair with Fufu in his arms and put it on the ground. Before he could put it down, he saw Fubao running out, and couldn't help but follow behind and said: "Slow down, Fufu don't fall gone."

Gu Zhao is dusty and unshaven. When he entered the Aquarius Gate, he saw Fubao's small figure. He hurried forward and passed through the Moon Gate. The father and son were separated by a yard. Although Fubao was small, he could run very fast. , but when he got to the middle of the yard and saw someone coming, he immediately had doubts on his happy and fleshy face, and came to a sudden stop.

Gu Zhao: ...

Seeing with my own eyes Fu Bao, who was just yelling "Dad, Daddy is back", this time he looked at him, hesitated, turned around and ran towards Zhou Zhou, threw himself into Zhou Zhou's arms, hugged Zhou Zhou's leg, raised his face and whispered What did you say.

Although I didn't hear it clearly, it looked like 'this dirty, bearded man is not Daddy'.

It's really personal.

Although Gu Zhao was joking, in fact he felt a little sore. He ran for more than a month before the whole family settled down. Fu Bao was still a child, and Zhou Zhou and his father took care of the family for those who were unfamiliar with the place.

"Mister." Li Zhouzhou greeted him with Fu Bao in his arms, his voice was a bit warm and longing.

Fu Bao stayed in Dad's arms, turning to look at Dad.Gu Zhao smiled and said, "Fufu doesn't know Daddy anymore?"

"Father is just a little dirty, he hasn't shaved."

Fu Bao looked at Daddy in front of him quietly, and smiled when it was Daddy's voice, and flew over from Daddy's arms to be hugged by Daddy.Gu Zhao took a full bosom, stroked Fu Bao's hair with one hand, and said, "Daddy is back, I miss your dad—"

Don't want Fubao?Fu Bao rolled his eyes.

Gu Zhao was happy, and teased, "I miss Fubao too."

Fu Bao smiled happily, and didn't think his father in front of him was dirty. He wrapped his arms around his father's neck, rubbed his face against his father, and was stabbed. He covered his father's chin curiously with his little hand.

Gu Zhao hugged his son with one hand, and held Zhou Zhou's hand with the other to relieve his longing.

"It's just a little dirty. In fact, I'm in good health. There's nothing wrong with it." Gu Zhaoan said with concern.

Li Zhouzhou felt more at ease now, let him enter the hall, let him deliver hot water, and arrange new meals.Gu Zhao entered the main room without letting Fu Bao down, and first said to his father: "Father Lao has been worried these days, everything is fine when I am away."

"It's all right, I'm fine, Zhou Zhou is worried about you." Li Da saw that his brother-in-law was covered in dust, and he knew that life outside was not easy, so he didn't go to enjoy the blessings, so he hurriedly said: "Go and wash, come out to eat Rice. Fufu, come to grandpa to hug and let daddy wash it."

Fu Bao couldn't bear to part with his father.

Li Zhouzhou then said, "Father, let's eat first, I'll take Fubao over there first."

"Success." Li Da didn't stop him, knowing that the couple hadn't seen each other for a long time.

The family of three entered the residence. Gu Zhao saw that the flowers, plants and trees were in full swing, the courtyard was clean, and there were some bruises, so he knew that Zhou Zhou had worked hard. He put Fu Bao down and went to hold Zhou Zhou's hand , I wanted to say something again, but seeing Zhou Zhou's eyes full of thoughts and smiles, I stopped saying those words of thanks.

No points.

Li Zhouzhou took out the clean clothes himself, and took off his outer robe for Mr. Xianggong. The white inner garment inside was wet and dirty with sweat, which showed that the days outside were not comfortable.

"It's a trivial matter when I came back on my way." Gu Zhao shook Zhou Zhou's hand.

Li Zhouzhou didn't take it off, but Fu Bao was still watching.While waiting for the hot water, the family of three is just chatting. Gu Zhao doesn't talk about outside affairs, but likes to hear Zhou Zhou talk about home and Fu Bao talk about playmates.

"Have you got a little friend? You have also learned Zhaozhou dialect, so Dad will take the Fufu test."

Gu Zhao was outside these days, and after dealing with a lot, he was able to speak a few words in local dialect, so the father and son carried out simple "Hello", "Have you eaten Fufu", "What did you eat", Fubao listened to what his father said More than him, can be admired.

Gu Zhao looked at his wife with a 'cocky' face.

Li Zhouzhou laughed helplessly, and said, "Okay, let's compete in Zhaozhou dialect this time, and Fufu's father won. Do you agree with Fufu?"

Fu Bao agrees with regret.

"Daddy, I will learn a lot next time." Fu Bao said sticking to his father.

Gu Zhao appreciated, "Okay, let's compete again then."

When the hot water came in, Li Zhouzhou took Fu Bao out, and the two of them were reluctant to leave it at the door.Gu Zhao took off his clothes and went into the tub, and heard the sound outside, couldn't help laughing and said, "Who is watching me take a bath?"

Fu Bao said loudly: "It's daddy, then look at daddy, it's not Fufu."

Gu Zhao: Hahahahahaha.

It's nice to be home.

Outside the door, Li Zhouzhou pinched Fu Bao's cheeks, Fu Bao covered his cheeks, smiled and went to kiss daddy happily, and whispered: "Daddy misses daddy, and Fufu misses daddy too, don't be ashamed. "

"Fufu is not ashamed."

Li Zhouzhou coaxed and agreed, "Okay, Dad is not ashamed, like Fu Fuxue."

Gu Zhao took a good wash, even washed his hair. After changing the bunt, it came out clean and refreshed. He opened the door and hugged Zhou Zhou and kissed him. When he turned his head, he saw Fu Bao's round face. Eyes on them.

"What happened to me and your father?"

Fu Bao shook his head, and said happily, "Fu Fu also wants to."

Gu Zhao kissed Fubao's cheek, and Li Zhouzhou kissed him too.Fu Bao was happy now, and lay in his father's arms.The family of three went to the main hall, and the food was placed on the table again. Li Zhouzhou and Fu Bao ate half of it, and Gu Zhao came back, and now he continued to eat with him.

Li Da had eaten, but sat on the sidelines and chatted.

Gu Zhao ate a full meal first, and then slowed down. Fu Bao saw his father eating "violently", and seemed to follow suit. He also ate a big mouthful of vegetables. Li Da said happily after watching : "That's how you should eat. After eating, you can grow taller, just like your father."

Fubao tastes delicious in everything, and is not picky about food.

"Two young servants were recruited at the front of the house, two for rough cleaning, and two for the backyard, one for a woman and one for a husband." Li Zhouzhou told his husband.

In his family's situation, Li Zhouzhou doesn't like to use maids.

Gu Zhao listened and nodded, and he was in charge of the rest of the family on a weekly basis, so he would ask, "Is there someone who sent a post?"

"Yes, the three well-known merchants and country gentry families in Zhaozhou City are the most prominent. Chen, Lin, Huang, and Li's family are entrenched forces in Jiting Prefecture. My family has a relationship with Mr. Chen, and jumped out of the way." Li Zhouzhou said to Xianggong.

Gu Zhao didn't expect Zhou Zhou to be so clear.

"How do you know Zhou Zhou?"

"Recruiting workers and strolling around to see what the shop sells. You can hear that each has its own way. These three families have been around for nearly a hundred years in Zhaozhou City, and they haven't hidden them. It's good to know."

Those who do business don't dare to hide, they wish they could get famous so that they can do business easily.

"Who does Xianggong want to have the surgery on?" Li Zhouzhou knew when he saw the smile on Xianggong's face.

Gu Zhao raised his eyebrows, "Zhou Zhou also thought about it, it's easy."

Not to mention Li Zhouzhou, even Li Da knew that when he arrived in a new place, he would either defeat the prickly head, or win over the prickly head who was not pleasing to the eye, and beat the first one who came forward.

"But they have been rooted for so many years, we can't beat them, right?" Li Da was worried, his family couldn't beat the three of them even including the six big and round bodyguards, don't let the three join forces to deal with Zhao'er.

Gu Zhao said with a smile: "Dad, don't worry, doing business makes money with kindness. I didn't think about hitting anyone. Besides, the three families are all squires with a reputation for charity. They never bully the people, bully the market and do stupid things. They are all generous. The family, of course, is for the government and businessmen to marry each other."

Li Da always felt that there was something strange, anyway, it was definitely not his family that was in trouble.

Li Zhouzhou smiled, Xianggong has taken a fancy to the wallets of the three families.

"I've had dinner, so I'll go to the Chen Mansion first. Will Fu Bao go? Play with the brothers Chen." Gu Zhao took two mouthfuls of food, and said to his father and Zhou Zhou, "Go and visit."

Li Da said he would not go.Zhao'er wanted to talk to Mr. Chen, he didn't want to get involved in the past, so he didn't want to go, just in case he said something wrong.

It was getting late, Gu Zhao had eaten and drank enough, changed into an old robe, carried a small schoolbag, carried Fu Bao, and followed Zhou Zhou on foot to visit the Chen residence—very down-to-earth.

As soon as the door of the Chen residence was opened, the concierge was stunned when he saw Mrs. Gu's family at the door. He quickly saluted and called Mrs. Gu's family to enter through the main entrance.

"Where is your master in the mansion? I'll talk to him."

The servants of the Chen family showed the way subconsciously.

Mr. Chen is in the backyard, so it must be passed on.After a while, there was commotion in the back of the Chen family. Mrs. Chen was entertaining guests, and all the children in the family called out.

Gu Zhao talked with Mr. Chen, and Zhou Zhou took Fu Bao to the flower hall to chat.

We met in the main hall of the backyard——the Chen residence also has no rules.According to the rules of famous families in Beijing, foreign men and foreign guests are not allowed to step into the master's back house, but Mr. Chen heard that it was Xiao Gu who came, and asked his servants to bring them to the main hall to talk.

"The next official pays homage to Mr. Chen." Gu Zhaoxian bowed and saluted, before he was halfway through, he was held by Mr. Chen's arm and said, "What are you doing with so many salutes? Come sit down and serve tea."

Before Gu Zhao's butt warmed up the chair, Master Chen said, "I heard that you went to Bolin County to do some work? You are bombing mountains and digging stones, and you want to build roads?"

"Yes."

Mr. Chen muttered, "Isn't the road good? Why repair it?" Looking at Xiao Gu's youth, he said earnestly: "You are new and always want to do something. I came here like this too. But Xiao Gu, let me tell you it's useless."

"Why do you find yourself such a big trouble? Zhaozhou City is so high and the road is far away. Even if you do something to repair the road, it will not be passed to the capital. No one will read the booklet. Besides Building roads is not a big achievement."

Gu Zhao didn't say it wasn't for merit, but said: "I'm young and energetic, it's too boring to do nothing."

"That's true." Master Chen thought it was reasonable, "It can be a waste of money and people to build roads."

Gu Zhao then said: "Your Excellency doesn't know anything—" He saw that Master Chen didn't like red tape, so he changed the polite words into blunt words, and said: "I used to be a scholar in a village under Ningping Prefecture, Wannan Prefecture. My family was really poor when I was studying for the examination of merit, but later on I relied on a method, and the county magistrate rewarded my family with 100 taels."

"Oh?" Master Chen was a little curious but didn't ask.

"I went to the capital to take the imperial examination. In fact, I shouldn't have won the third prize with my knowledge. It was a question and answer by the sage, so I talked about it in a hurry."

Master Chen paused while drinking tea, glanced at Xiao Gu, and asked, "What can I do?"

"The method of fertilizing the field. I was a Jinshi in 56. At that time, the emperor sent Prince Kang to experiment in Beijing, and it began to spread in the middle of the next year—" Gu Zhao smiled and said carefully, "This method of fertilizing the field is easy to use. My family used to have an acre of paddy fields. , the output of two or three stones was doubled later."

"What!"

The teacup in Mr. Chen's hand shook agitatedly, and the tea splashed on the back of his hand didn't bother him. He pulled it down and looked straight at Gu Zhao, "Is this really the case?"

"Yes, how could I dare to arrange for the emperor? When I came to Zhaozhou City, why didn't I take care of the water and fertile fields? I thought we Zhaozhou people knew about it."

Mr. Chen said something in the local dialect. Gu Zhao heard it almost meant that the place where birds don’t shit knows what to know. Gu Zhao was a little friendly to Mr. Chen, saying: "This time the road is built. I just realized that it hasn’t been passed on yet, so I might wait a little longer.”

What are you waiting for? It must be that Beijing has forgotten that there is Zhaozhou.

Mr. Chen was originally angry, but he became frustrated after thinking about it this way. It has been 31 years, a full 31 years, he is half buried in the loess, and he still wants to go back, where can he go back.

No one remembers Zhaozhou, let alone him.Mr. Chen was disheartened immediately, and said lazily, "You just remember, you can do it, anyway, that's the thing, if you like to build roads, you can build roads, and you don't need to ask me about government affairs in the future."

But in a few moments, Mr. Chen became a muddled official who pushes things around and doesn't care about anything.

Gu Zhao didn't know how many times Mr. Chen had been disappointed in the past 31 years. It's not easy to talk about it now, as long as Mr. Chen doesn't stop him from doing things.

"Little Gu, I know that you young people want to do something earth-shattering, so that Beijing can call you back, but let me tell you, in Zhaozhou, if you don't starve to death, it's already a credit if you don't have a disaster. Well, don't waste your time."

Master Chen glanced at Xiao Gu, this is still Tanhualang, he entered the Imperial Academy, he must have offended someone and was demoted to Zhaozhou, so he was so eager to make political achievements, it was a waste of effort.

"It is said that there are troublemakers in the poor mountains and rivers, and they are extremely vicious. If you are poor to the bottom, you will not be afraid to do anything..."

Master Chen's words, whether it is a reminder or a threat.Gu Zhao smiled and said, "It would be great if you don't become poor and become rich."

"In the future, come to me for dinner and drink, and I'll just ignore the other political affairs. I'll be old and useless if I lose my energy. Xiao Gu, you should worry about it."

Gu Zhao saluted and bowed to him, and after finishing his business, he drank a cup of tea with Mr. Chen and played a game of chess——Mr. Chen liked playing chess with Xiao Gu very much because of the bad game.

"I said my chess is stinky enough, I didn't expect to meet someone even more stinky." Master Chen happily wanted to play another game.

Gu Zhao played another game with him.Mr. Chen was addicted to chess, mainly because he won two games and was very happy. Gu Zhao said that it was getting late, and he had to take a step ahead to meet guests in the mansion tomorrow.

"Are you visiting?" Mr. Chen asked with a smile on his face.

Gu Zhao said: "It has been more than a month since I took office, and there are a lot of posts from the mansion, and they all came back, so they all received and dealt with together, and I will live in Zhaozhou for many years in the future, and I will recognize faces when I meet people. "

Master Chen glanced at Xiao Gu, nodded again, waved his hand, "Go."

Gu Zhao is resigning, and before he crossed the threshold, he heard Mr. Chen humming "good words are hard to persuade, damn ghost" behind him, Gu Zhao: ... laughed and went out.

When a newcomer arrives and wants to do something, all parties are involved, which is always a difficult nut to crack.

It should be done.

Gu Zhao didn't want to be a foolish official.

Coming out of Chen's Mansion, Fu Bao was sleepy, sleeping on his father's shoulder, Gu Zhao took it, holding his son in one hand and holding Zhou Zhou's hand in the other.Li Zhouzhou looked at the profile of his husband. He was not taller than him in the past, but now his shoulders are broad and stalwart, and he can support his family.

Then he went back to the mansion and washed up.

Fu Bao now sleeps by himself, in the side room next to the main courtyard, and Li Xia sleeps outside at night.After Li Zhouzhou coaxed Fubao to sleep, he returned to the house, and saw that the originally stalwart husband-in-law on the bed was wearing only a lewd garment, with his legs spread apart——

"My wife, you came just in time, come and help me with the medicine, it hurts!" Gu Zhao called out from the bed.

Li Zhouzhou wondered what medicine to take?Walking over quickly, I saw a lot of injuries on the heels of Xianggong's legs, "How did you hurt?"

"It was worn by horseback riding. Fortunately, a layer of skin has peeled off. You can help me apply the medicine." Gu Zhaotie's wife was sticky. Seeing that Zhou Zhou was really anxious, he hurriedly said, "It's actually not very painful, I just want to You." Poor.

Holding the medicine bottle, Li Zhouzhou didn't know whether to be angry or to follow suit, and finally he followed Xianggong.

Xianggong is right, if my brother is sympathetic to men, there is nothing he can do.

But he is willing.

Gu Zhao kissed his wife and didn't mess around at night. He hadn't seen Zhou Zhou for a long time, and wanted to talk to Zhou Zhou, but he fell asleep while talking.Li Zhouzhou was sleeping in Xianggong's arms, looked up at the sleeping Xianggong, and said softly: "I'm not afraid of difficulties, our family will overcome any hurdles."

The next day, Gu Zhao went to the yamen after breakfast, and asked the agricultural officer to meet him in the office.

Go ahead and implement the Fertility Law.As for stone powder - most common people can't afford it.The new things have not been promoted, and the stone powder needs money. The people must think that the government and businessmen have colluded with each other to set up a name to waste money, and think that he, the newcomer, is a bad guy.

"Tell me what I say, first come to Bolinfu County, the stone powder is free for the first year, and each household sends two adult men to dig limestone in the mountains to grind the powder, and the labor is paid for the stone powder."

There are only two mountains with limestone in Bolinfu County, and clay is everywhere.After all, the three prefectures of Bolin, Annan, and Rongguan are the most suitable prefectures for farming in Zhaozhou. From the perspective of financial accounts and grain tax revenue, these three prefectures are the most populous prefectures in Zhaozhou.

Bolin and Annan are adjacent to each other, with similar climate and terrain.Gu Zhao felt that there should be limestone mountains in Annan, and he had already sent people there to ask the magistrate of Annan to pay more attention to it. The forests should be planted first to cultivate fertile fields, and Annan followed closely behind.

The road will be repaired first.

After the order was issued, Gu Zhao wrote the notice, stamped his own seal, and let it be issued layer by layer.The yamen obeyed him and obeyed his orders very much—although it was like this before, it was not as smooth as it is today, without even a single stumbling block.

After finishing the official business, I have to deal with the posts when I return to the mansion. I will invite everyone who comes, so I plan to do it tomorrow.There are not enough servants in the mansion, and even the bodyguards are dispatched to deliver posts.

"I just heard that Mr. Chen closed the mansion and said that he wants to rest and recuperate, and he doesn't care about everything." After Li Zhouzhou finished speaking, he knew what Xianggong wanted to ask, and added, "I will send someone to deliver some snacks in the morning. Yesterday we left empty-handed, sorry, Li Chun went with snacks and came back empty-handed to talk to me."

"I said I wanted to take care of my health. I thanked our family for their kindness and closed the door. I can see that everything in the future is not doing anything."

Gu Zhao gave Zhou Zhou the thumbs up, "I said it was very refreshing to go to the yamen to do things this morning." Mr. Chen was the one who made a big deal after hearing that he wanted to meet the squire, so he pushed the trouble ahead of time. Let go.

Well, then Master Chen, as his immediate boss, must be the one who deserves the first credit.

It's not good to offend the squire, that's all his idea, he's the one who takes the blame, it has nothing to do with Mr. Chen, after all, Mr. Chen is in the process of 'raising his health', and everything is ordered by him.

Gu Zhao thought about it, smiled, and said, "It's also pretty good."

Li Mansion will hold a banquet tomorrow.

Chen, Lin, and Huang's families all received the post. The first thing they did was to inquire whether the other two had received it. When they heard that they had received it, their expressions were indisputable. Later, they heard that other smaller merchants had also received it. Not sure.

I will definitely go to the banquet tomorrow, and the three families gathered first this afternoon.

The three families are dominated by the Chen family, and they are usually sour and crowded, but they are exactly the same when they meet the official. Even the boss Huang, who is not in good health, came out in person.

"Let's talk about it first. If Mr. Gu provokes dissension, whoever bows his head will be the grandson of the entire Zhaozhou merchant business." The Chen family said.

The Lin family pursed their lips, thinking that you have curry favor with Master Chen, have eaten a piece of cake, and are now on guard against the two of them.But even though he thought so, he was upset, so he nodded and agreed.

What do foreign officials want to do? They are low-status merchants, so they have to be twisted together. They don’t move the three of them on weekdays. They do whatever they want. My lord, if you want to take them under the knife, then——

hum.

None of the three are easy to mess with.

The three families said it well, just like before.But on the second day, when I went to Li's house for a banquet, because I couldn't control Mr. Gu's direction, and he seemed to be a serious and honest person in his previous behavior, he didn't dare to give too generous a gift, and he took a standard one.

Who would have thought that entering the Li Mansion would be the first gate. The servants of the Li Mansion received the gift and opened it in the sedan chair hall. One person knocked on the gong, and the butler-like figure shouted loudly: "Master Chen, donate 300 yuan in silver." Two, a pair of topaz bracelets—”

wait-

donate?

In the front are those who read the ceremony, three hundred from the Chen family, three hundred from the Huang family, four hundred from the Li family——

Immediately, the other two masters smiled and looked at the Li family, and they agreed that it was about the same. The Li family looked back with a smile, "100 taels more, almost the same." , Standing at the gate to count with great fanfare and beating gongs and drums!

Immediately, I didn't know whether it was from Jingli who paid attention to rules, or whether he was not particular about it.

But he gave 400 taels and a gift, Mr. Gu recorded it in the book, and read it aloud. All the businessmen and businessmen who came to the banquet heard it. Now, Mr. Gu wants to be clear. You can't deny the gift, can you?

It's better than before that he gave the money for nothing, and the officials accepted it and mixed together to be a fool, relying on the officials' expressions and guesses by the money givers under them.

Well now, his Li family gave a lot, which is naturally half a head higher than the other two.

At this moment, the Li family had finished scolding their mothers in their hearts, and after thinking about it, they were quite happy, and happily cupped their hands: "It's a small thing, it's a small thing, we don't want to keep Mrs. Gu waiting for a long time." They called out affectionately.

The Chen family and the Huang family: ...

I always feel that I have just passed the threshold of the Li family, and the direction of the wind is a bit wrong.

There was another burst of gongs, and they read loudly: "Silk Village in the south of the city goes to the Wang family, donating 600 taels of silver—"

The first three big ones, including the smiling Li family, froze for a moment. It seems that there are many of these low-level people who want to show their faces and become the second Chen family.

The author has something to say:

Xiao Gu: Thank you all philanthropists for donating silver. Is there anyone who will be the title sponsor of road construction? I will reward you with an excellent conscientious charitable business card~

From now on, this road will be the Chen Family Gongde Road. If you intend to sign up quickly, there will be no future!
