The growth of the eldest daughter-in-law of the farm gate

One sunny afternoon, the county government's road repair work came to an end.The road construction was completed well this time. Li Mingren went to inspect it several times and was very satisfied.

The preliminary work of building the road is to widen the road from the "Zhouqin" school to the county seat, and then spread out to the surrounding villages with the school as the center to repair the road, at least to ensure that the children in the surrounding villages do not have to go to and from school. The stumbling steps also allowed the villagers with cars to pass the oxcarts and mule carts.

This period also involved opening up a road from Xiaosong Village to the school. After all, the villagers of Xiaosong Village were very supportive of their children going to school.However, Xiaosong Village is the farthest away and is not within the scope of this road construction. Therefore, as the dean of the school, Zhao Yunlan invested a small amount of road construction funds only for the road from Xiaosong Village to the school.

Li Mingren sent someone to Xiaosong Village in advance to inform him about the road construction. In addition, he also mentioned to Village Chief Luo that Yunlan would fund the road construction.Of course, there was no need to say more about the rest of the words. Luo Damu could understand and immediately took the lead in expressing his position. He was willing to send his children to study. However, this road was not easy to go before, and many people in the village were hesitant. Now that this road is open, everyone naturally agrees. I want to send all the children to school to learn a few words.

Village Chief Luo was still thinking that if he risked his life and took the villagers deeper into the mountains to look for them, if they were lucky enough to catch some big guys, the school fees for the children in the village would be covered next year.

In short, we must seize the opportunity this time to give children another choice. Starting from this generation of little babies, they are not destined to live in the mountains for the rest of their lives.

Once the road to Xiaosong Village is opened, the early road construction plan is over.The later road construction task was to fill in and level the official road running through Shiyang County.

The official road of Shiyang County connects Changhe County to the southeast, and Motong County to the northwest.The official road is naturally wide, but over time, some bumpy roads have appeared. The previous county magistrates did not pay much attention to this area, so the road surface has never been filled. Of course, it may be because the county is poor, so He was unwilling to spend money on these places. After all, no one went to the Yamen to appeal and ask for a break in officialdom.

Filling the official road is not a heavy job.During a certain inspection, Li Mingren proposed to open some small roads to connect several villages located along the official road to the official road.

Although it is a village along the official road, the distance is still quite far, so for so long, there has been no decent road. Villagers traveling on the official road either have to take long detours, or they have to brave the thorns and escape through the woods. .

Now according to some traces of travel, we will choose an easy road to open a proper road. This can connect these villages to the official road in a short distance, which not only saves time, but also allows the villagers to travel More convenient.

"Sir, all the road construction workers have returned. This time the road construction time is shorter than we expected. Moreover, the cost of road construction is also [-]% less than estimated." Cao Yingfa compared the budget table he made before Various expenses for road construction were reported on the side.

After Cao Yingfa finished speaking, Li Mingren nodded, but there was no happiness on his face after saving money. Instead, he raised his head with a heavy head and said: "Cao County Prime Minister, bring me the last list again."

After working with Li Mingren for so long, Cao Yingfa naturally knew what Li Mingren was thinking. He looked through the last list of people who registered to stay in the county government and responded: "Your Excellency, are you thinking about reducing the number of government servants?"

Li Mingren sighed: "Let me take a look first, but there is no suitable job to accommodate those who want to leave. I feel uneasy!"

Chen Yiqing sat next to him, straightened his clothes and said: "According to your wishes, if there is no work to accommodate these people for the time being, then a resettlement fee will be paid. However, the money in the account is already tight now, and we have to wait until the autumn harvest." Finally, tax money can be collected to alleviate the situation."

Li Mingren understood in his heart, so he was not impulsive.

This time, 38 people did not come to register, which was within Li Mingren's estimate. Li Mingren's original plan was to reduce the number of people by 50 to [-] people.The only worry is that I haven't figured out how to arrange it yet.

After going back to the backyard, Li Mingren went straight to the study to think about some other way out alone.

Zhuangzi has been a little busy these days, and has encountered some troubles in building the factory.After school, the servants sent Ruiwen home first, and Yunlan took Chunxiang to visit Zhuangzi.I had some simple dinner at Zhuangzi and came back late.When he returned to the backyard of the county government office, he went directly to the changing room and changed into light home clothes.

Zhao Yunlan had just taken a few sips of the soup brought by He Hua when Ye Sheng came to report: "Madam, the master has not left the study since he came back, and he has not even taken a few bites of the food he sent."

"Well, I understand! Let He Hua send a soup to the study."

Ye Sheng nodded: "Yes, madam."

After drinking enough soup, Zhao Yunlan held his little girl in his arms and stayed with Ruiwen in the small study to do his homework for a while, and then slowly went to the study to see Akihito.

The study was quiet at the moment, and Zhao Yunlan's footsteps seemed unusually loud, but Li Mingren was immersed in his own world and did not raise his head.

"Madam, Master!" He Hua came over with soup and knocked the cup lightly on the table before Li Mingren raised his head.

"Yunlan, when did you come in?" Li Mingren took Zhao Yunlan's hand and sat aside.

Zhao Yunlan sat down and picked up the paper in front of Li Mingren, with various budgets written on it.

"What kind of business is the county government going to do?" Zhao Yunlan looked at the shops, the land, and the inputs and outputs of each business.

Li Mingren then started talking about how he wanted to resettle those reduced government officials. He was thinking of some suitable ways of making a living. If successful, he could also add some income to the county government.

"The Yamen can't do business, right? And you can't do business either!" Zhao Yunlan asked.

Li Mingren nodded: "So I thought about who to entrust it to, so that it won't involve me and the county government. When the business starts, I will pay a sum of money to the government every month."

Zhao Yunlan's eyes were full of confusion, and he immediately retorted: "You are the head of a county, how can you be so confused?" In fact, what he was thinking at this moment was that he started to act without thinking after not communicating well for a few days!

Li Mingren felt a little guilty. He had indeed been out of shape recently. One was that the yamen was too poor and it was difficult to do anything without money. The other was that Liang Musheng had taken over Motong County and he was starting to worry.I haven't had a clue for several days, just like this, just a lot of random thoughts.

Now after Yunlan's beating and looking at the methods he had written, Li Mingren was indeed a little scared.Isn’t this testing on the edge of the law?
"Yunlan, I'm stupid."

Zhao Yunlan softened his tone and said softly: "Drink the soup first. It will cool down in a while. Anyway, your yamen will not have enough money until after the autumn harvest, so there is no need to rush now. Just calm down and there will be a way. .”

Li Mingren nodded helplessly and drank the soup obediently, but he felt that the soup had no taste.
