Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 5638
She came to Sun's side, and Sun had already stood up and poured tea for her, grabbed several handfuls of melon seeds, peanuts and broad beans, and brought them to her: "When did you come back?"

Yang Ruoqing peeled a peanut, "It's less than half an hour, mother, Uncle Chang Gen's house will treat guests at night, so both of us don't cook dinner, you know?"

Sun said: "Earlier when I was tidying up the pigsty in the backyard, I seemed to hear someone calling me. When I came to the front yard, I didn't see anyone. Maybe it was your Uncle Changgen who came in to say hello and left without seeing anyone. I guess it will come again sometime.”

Yang Ruoqing nodded and looked around: "Where's my father? Why didn't you see him?"

Sun said: "No, Yongxian invited the opera troupe to come back to sing a big play, and your grandfather came back with him. Yongxian came to invite your father to talk, and said that the village elders also invited over. Your father will come here The boy hasn't come back yet."

Hearing that it had something to do with Yang Yongxian again, and that her father was speaking as Li Zheng this time, Yang Ruoqing couldn't help being a little curious.

"Mom, what's going on here? Why is the hall brother coming back to be a money-scattering boy?" Yang Ruoqing asked.

Mrs. Sun shook her head: "I don't know. They came back yesterday. The news was released yesterday. The theater troupe came this morning. It was very lively. Old men and women from ten miles and eight villages rushed over to eat deep-fried dough sticks, mahua and pancakes. The fruit is full."

"Aside from creating these benefits for everyone, did he ask for anything else?" Yang Ruoqing asked again.

Yang Yongxian's behavior made her immediately think of those liars who go to the countryside to send warmth in modern society.

First, I inquired about villages with many left-behind elderly people, and brought rice cookers, electric kettles and other small appliances from unknown manufacturers into the villages.

Three days before entering the village, there are free lectures and small gifts.

Scammers have caught on to the mentality of old men and women who like to take advantage of small things. They will give away things for two days first, and wait until three days later to expand their tricks to fool old men and women into buying small appliances.

The slogan is that after eating the rice cooked in this rice cooker, you will have a headache and a headache, and your rheumatism and leg pain will be healed.

After drinking the tea boiled by this electric kettle, paralysis can stand up, and cancer can be cured for you.

The market price is [-], and now the manufacturers are engaged in activities, not [-], only [-], [-], healthy buy home!

As a result, the old men and women took out the subsistence allowance and pension money to buy this kind of rice cooker and electric kettle that are said to be able to live forever, and the scammers counted the money until their hands cramped.

For some reason, when Yang Ruoqing saw the big stage at the entrance of the village, the first reaction in her mind was that Yang Yongxian was playing tricks. How could he waste money with his picky temper?

Mrs. Sun thought about it carefully, "I haven't heard anything else yet, all I know is that he said that he made a little money outside and used it to give back to the folks and elders in his hometown."

Yang Ruoqing nodded, there must be a follow-up, and she will know when her father comes back later.

The mother and daughter talked about other things for a while, and when it was almost dark, Yang Huazhong finally came back.

Yang Huazhong was not surprised to see Yang Ruoqing was there after entering the door, obviously he already knew the news of their return.

"I met Changgen on the road earlier, let's have dinner with the Luo family at night, and you don't have to cook tonight, my child." Yang Huazhong said to Sun when he entered the door.

Mrs. Sun nodded: "Cai Qing'er told me this just now, let's go there together after you rest for a while."

Yang Huazhong said: "Why don't you light up the lights? It's already dark!"

He drew out a torch and lit the oil lamp on the table, instantly lighting up the hall.

Yang Ruoqing saw that her father had a very good look on his face, and he was also very happy.

According to past experience, whenever he came back from talking with his eldest brother and grandfather, his father's face would be frighteningly dull. Today... the sun came out from the west?
Mrs. Sun also noticed this, and secretly glanced at Yang Ruoqing.

So, Yang Ruoqing cleared her throat and asked Yang Huazhong: "Father, why is there such a big commotion when my hall brother comes back?"

Yang Huazhong grabbed a handful of peanuts and peeled them. Hearing this, he said with a smile: "I was about to tell you about this. Hey, this Yongxian, this trip to White Goose Town to do business seems to have opened up the whole person. Yes, when he came back this trip, he not only invited the villagers to watch a big show and eat free fried dough sticks, but he invited me and a few village elders over to discuss paving roads and bridges!"

Paving roads and building bridges?

The Luo family also did this ten years ago, led by Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang.

"The bluestone roads in our village, as well as the one at the entrance of the village, were all repaired by Qing'er and Tang Yazi a few years ago. They are still in good condition. Why do we need to pave the road?" Sun was puzzled. asked.

Yang Huazhong was a little excited, took a few peanuts and put them on the table in the shape of a road.

"Back then, Qing'er and Tang Yazi built these roads, but now Yongxian wants to build this road, the one that leads directly to Qingshui Town." He said.

"Huh? That road is so long, it's dozens of miles long!" Sun said.

Yang Huazhong said: "It's nearly thirty miles. Yongxian said that he plans to build ten miles first, starting from the entrance of our village, so that when the villagers of our village go out, the ten miles will be easy to walk, otherwise it will be muddy all the way in rainy days. Slippery."

Yang Ruoqing made some calculations in her heart, and built ten miles of roads, at least 200 taels of silver as a base.

Even if she had a transport team in her hand, she never thought about repairing the thirty-mile land.

Why?

The cost of road construction is high, but this is not the main reason, the main reason is that it is unnecessary.

In this era, there are no highways and no asphalt. The so-called road repair is actually re-paving with stones and mud.

It was crushed by countless chariots and horses, washed away by a few rains, and quickly deformed, which is of little significance.

Even if the [-]-mile land in front of the house is repaired, the transportation team will travel most of Daqi, so they can't build roads everywhere, right?

So she added the cost of road repairs to the transformation of the wheels of the transport team's carriages and horses to create a wheel that can be crushed regardless of whether it is flat ground or potholes and muddy ground. She called this modified carriages and horses 'off-road'.

"It will cost a lot of money to build a ten-mile road, right?" Mrs. Sun was surprised.

"A base of 200 taels of silver for ten mile land." Yang Ruoqing said.

"This is just using ordinary sand and gravel. If you use thick bluestone slabs to pave the road, the cost will triple."

Hearing what Yang Ruoqing said, Mrs. Sun counted with her fingers, and was startled: "Ah, according to this, the less 200 taels of silver for repairing ten miles, the more it will be [-] taels of silver!"

Yang Huazhong squinted his eyes: "Yongxian promised in front of us that we will build ten miles first, and then build it later, and finally open up the road with Qingshui Town. At that time, we will erect a monument every ten miles. The inscription on the inscription It should be written clearly that on a certain day in a certain year, a certain person spent money to build a road, if the road is really built successfully, the inscription will be clearly written, and people in the future will see that Yongxian has immeasurable merit!"
