Chapter 224 Explanation

But the bluestone road has been paved from Hongye Town to the door of my house, and to the door of Hongye Academy, which does not affect my family's travel at all. Why does Ye Zhen take the initiative to pave the road for the village?

If it is said that the people in the village were very kind to Ye Zhen's family in the past, that's fine. It's just a debt of gratitude. However, Lu Chengze has also stayed in Yejia Village for three years. How can he not know the year when Ye Zhen's parents died? Inside, no one really helped her or supported her...

Lu Chengze never thought of Ye Zhen as a person who repays grievances with kindness, on the contrary, Ye Zhen has clear grievances and grievances.

But what is it for this time?So actively building roads for the villagers?

Ye Zhen smiled, and analyzed the benefits of building roads with Lu Chengze in detail...

In the evening, the villagers who got the news gathered in the square in front of Hongye Academy, and Ye Zhen had already arrived outside the gate of Hongye Academy.

After school, the students went out one after another. Some rented two-and-a-half-story buildings by the roadside, and some returned to rented houses in the village.There are also those who saw so many villagers outside and came out to watch the excitement.

Seeing that the people in the village were almost here, Ye Zhen took a homemade loudspeaker and started shouting to the villagers: "Folks, I asked the village chief to tell you to come here today, because I have an idea and want to discuss it with you, have a look Everyone is willing or unwilling. If you don’t want to, just pretend that I didn’t say what I said today; if you want to, everyone will go to the table on the left hand side, sign and sign with your fingerprints to express your agreement.”

Most of the people in the village now hold Ye Zhen's bowl and earn money from Ye Zhen's family, how can they not respond?At that moment, many people raised their voices and shouted: "Speak up! As long as you say it, we will all agree!"

"That's right, you never harmed us, we have nothing to worry about, we will do whatever you tell us to do."

"That's right! We're all thanks to you now. If you want us to do anything, just say it, and we're all happy."

The villagers expressed their opinions one after another, and the village chief was very happy, and couldn't help but whispered to Ye Zhen: "Why don't you just ask them to sign and sign? I think they are all happy."

But Ye Zhen didn't want to just pass by in such a daze: If the villagers don't make it clear, even though the villagers are willing to do it, they will just treat it as repaying their own favors, which is not acceptable!
It was originally for the benefit of the villagers, and the villagers are the ones who benefit the most. If the villagers think that the road is built for Ye Zhen, then it will be bad!The stakes must be made clear!

Some students saw that Ye Zhen was short, so they brought a chair and placed it beside Ye Zhen.

Ye Zhen saw it at a glance: "..." How should I put it, it's... very good!Very sweet.

Standing on the chair, she could finally see the people behind her. She raised her hands up and pressed them down, signaling for everyone to be quiet.

The villagers who could already see Ye Zhen's head and face became quiet involuntarily.

"All the houses at the entrance of my village that can be rented out have been rented out, everyone knows this?" Ye Zhen pointed to the three-storey small buildings on both sides of the Qingshiban Road.

Everyone nodded in unison.

"How much is the rent? Does everyone know?"

"100 taels a year!" A villager raised his voice and replied.This is no secret now.

Ye Zhen nodded: "Yes! 100 taels a year! What about your house? How much is a house rented out a year?"

Everyone: "..." Not so exciting!

We all know that you can make money, and we also know that we are not as good as you, so why don't you show off openly like this!

Seeing that no one answered, Ye Zhen immediately began to roll the roll: "Aunt Gousheng, your newly built house is rented out to students with three large rooms. How much is the rent for a year?"

Auntie Gousheng is a neat person, and she didn’t hide it. She raised her voice and said, “Three green brick and tile-roofed houses were separated into five rooms and one main room. They even repaired the latrine and kitchen with a new one. It costs 15 taels a year silver!"

There are five rooms in one main room, plus the newly repaired kitchen and toilet. In terms of functionality, compared with Ye Zhen's two-and-a-half-story building, it already has one more room.

One must know that Ye Zhen's two-and-a-half-story house has only two rooms on each floor on the second and third floors, so it's only four bedrooms and one living room!

Ye Zhen smiled and asked: "Do you want to make your house rent higher? More people rent?"

"Think!" Everyone responded in unison.

Everyone is from the countryside, and they don't have much money, and the whole family has a lot of places to spend money.Anyone who doesn't want money is a fool!
"I don't want to!" shouted a student watching the fun.

When everyone saw that it was a student named Situ Nan who rented at Erniu's house in Murakami, they all burst into laughter!
Ye Zhen also smiled, and she looked at Situ Nan: "When it's raining, you walk from Er Niu's house to the academy, and walk in the muddy ground, how does it feel?"

Situ Nan instantly looked disgusted and embarrassed: "Stop talking! I got covered in mud several times!"

Ye Zhen was curious: "Why did you get covered in mud? The deepest part of the mud only reaches the calves?"

Situ Nan didn't want to answer, but the villagers who knew the inside story laughed.

The village head knew the situation, so he explained in a low voice beside Ye Zhen.

Situ Nan's family is considered rich, but there are many brothers in the family, and they are not so rich that they are willing to spend 100 taels of silver a year to rent a two-and-a-half-story roadside building for him to study.

However, Situ Nan's family also assigned him a servant, and he himself never washed clothes and boiled water by himself.So he and the boy rented two rooms in Er Niu's house, which was not expensive, only eight taels of silver a year.

On rainy days, the dirt roads in the village were difficult to walk, and Situ Nan didn't want to wear straw sandals, so he asked the boy to carry him out.

As a result, the boy was wearing straw sandals and carrying a young master on his back, his feet were unstable, and he fell several times in the past six months!Situ Nan was covered in mud every time he fell down!

Ye Zhen also laughed, and raised her voice to ask the students watching: "If all the villages are paved with bluestone roads, so that everyone doesn't have to step on the mud when it rains, would you be willing?"

"Of course!" This time, the students responded in unison!
"But after paving the bluestone road, you all have to rent a house, and the house is not enough to rent, what should I do?" Ye Zhen asked again.

After a brief silence, a student raised his voice, "Then if I give more money, can I still rent a house?"

These words immediately attracted the approval of the students, and they all responded: "That's right! If you have money, you can rent it, if you don't have money, you can live in the academy! If you have more money, you can rent a two-and-a-half-story building at the entrance of the village!"

The villagers saw everything in their eyes and heard it in their ears, and their eyes lit up immediately: Doesn't this mean that once the bluestone road is paved in the village, not only will it be more convenient for the villagers to walk, but also the rent will be increased?
