Chapter 400 Road Construction

Chen Hanxing looked at Master Chang for a long time without saying anything: "Master Chang?"

Master Chang came back to his senses: "Oh! Where were we talking about?"

"Can you do what we're talking about?"

Master Chang looked at the drawing on the paper and said, "Some of these things have never been done before, but I don't think they're a big problem. I just need some time to figure out the details."

"That's good. Each house is not very large, but I'm sorry to trouble you for taking more care of it."

"You don't have to pay us for building the house this time, just provide us with food."

"How can this be possible?"

"What's wrong with that? You all have made so much effort, so my little money is nothing."

Chen Hanxing looked at Wen Zhenyi: "Yiyi, look?"

"Since this is Master Chang's intention, there is no need for us to refuse."

"That's right. I'm going back now to order bricks and tiles. Tomorrow morning I'll bring people to tear down these old houses and rebuild them."

"Okay, I'll find someone to help me."

Master Chang went back without even eating.

Shen Hanxing looked at the smile on Wen Zhenyi's face and said, "Now everyone doesn't seem to care much about your title."

Wen Zhenyi looked at him with a smile: "That's good."

Three days later.

Notices were posted throughout An County recruiting people to build roads, and the wages offered were very generous.

This shocked the people of An County. It was the first time for them to encounter such a large-scale road construction. Moreover, this time the roads being built were not official roads, but roads leading from the official roads to the villages.

When the people of Xinglin Village received the news, they were demolishing their old houses and were temporarily overwhelmed.

Fortunately, it is the slack season for farming now, so in the end, only half of the people can be assigned to build roads, and the other half can continue to demolish and build houses.

This news soon spread to all parts of the state, and it made the county magistrates of the state so angry that they had headaches.

Now the town mayors and village heads under them ask from time to time when they can build the road.

They did want to, but their county didn't have a princess, so no matter how much taxes they collected, they had to pay them into the national treasury.

In the end, there was no other choice but to report to the court.

When Feng Hanhe saw the memorial, he was also stunned: "What is this girl doing?"

A Yu stretched his head to take a look at the memorial, and the smile on the corner of his mouth could hardly be suppressed. He quickly retracted his neck and stood still obediently.

Eunuch Mo saw him do this and wanted to imitate him, but he was standing in the wrong position, so he could only ask, "Master, is it Princess Jingle?"

"If it's not her, who else could it be? If my daughter had her ability, I would be so lucky." When Feng Hanhe said this, he was envious, jealous, and a little helpless.

"What did Her Royal Highness the Princess do again?"

Feng Hanhe looked at Eunuch Mo and threw the memorial in his hand to him: "Read it yourself."

Eunuch Mo hurriedly took the memorial and read the contents: "What is Princess Jingle planning to do?"

"If only I knew what this girl was going to do."

"Why don't you let them go and find out."

"I've already evacuated everyone. Who can I ask? I shouldn't have evacuated them earlier. Now, I'm completely in the dark."

Eunuch Mo placed the memorial back on Feng Hanhe's desk and said, "The Ninth Prince should be arriving soon. Why not ask him when he returns?"

"This is the only way." Feng Hanhe closed the memorial, threw it aside and ignored it.

In An County in the distance, the county town has entered a state of bustling activity. Everywhere you go, you can see people building roads under the scorching sun.

Wen Zhenyi now spends every day at the place where the house is being built in the village, and she pays more attention to it than when she was building her own house.

Master Chang often joked with her: "You didn't pay so much attention to building your own house."

"My own house doesn't have such complicated things. These things are different now. I have to pay attention to them."

“Mrs. Shen, can children still be admitted to the private school now?”

"Master Chang, your grandson is old enough to go to school."

"He's already five years old this year, and I was thinking of sending him to a private school. After much deliberation, I decided to send him to you first."

"Five years old is a little young, let's wait another two years."

"Still young?" Master Chang was a little puzzled.

"It's no problem for a five-year-old to learn simple characters, but he's a little young to start private school."

"Outside, children are already starting to learn at three. At my house, five is considered too late, and at yours, it's still too young."

Wen Zhenyi thought of something: "Do you usually teach your children to recognize words at home?"

"I'll teach him when I have time, but we're always traveling around, so we don't have much time to teach him properly."

Wen Zhen nodded slightly and said nothing more.

When Master Chang heard her say this, he thought to himself whether he could send the child to a private school in town first and then send him back after two years.

"Master Chang, come over and take a look at whether the height of this handrail is appropriate." Someone shouted from a distance.

Master Chang put his thoughts aside and walked towards the house.

Wen Zhenyi took a look around and saw that there were no major problems with the construction of the houses, so he went to the village to check out the road paving situation.

Older people like Dong Li are all working on paving the road here.

Old Man and Old Lady Wen also enjoyed it.

Old Man You: "If this road is paved, we won't have to worry about stepping into mud on rainy days."

"That's right. Every time it rains, my son and his family are worried about me going out, fearing that the road might be slippery and I might fall."

Old Lady Wen smiled and said, "During the last storm, my family didn't let me go because they were afraid I would fall."

"It's right that I didn't let you go. You don't know that I was covered in mud when I fell. My butt still hurts when I think about it now." Old man Zhou wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Old Man Ding: "Yes, yes, yes. I went to see the doctor who treated my illness when I was little. He prescribed some medicinal wine and I went home and asked my wife to massage my body. That's when I got better."

"Xiao Xiao Doctor's medical skills are good, and people from nearby villages come to him for treatment."

Dong Li said with a smile: "This is convenient for us. We don't have to go to town to see a doctor, even though we are not far from town."

"It's definitely more convenient now. Now that this road is built, it will be much faster to go anywhere."

As soon as Wen Zhenyi arrived, he heard them talking and laughing: "It seems that the elders are quite lively."

"Hey, Shinichi-chan is here."

"Come on, come and see how you guys are doing."

"Don't think we're just chatting, we're not slacking off."

"I didn't say you were lazy. I asked Zhu Tao and the others to make some mung bean soup. It will be served soon. You all take a break."

"Is it icy?" Old Man Wen blinked.

"Grandpa, you're old now, so you should eat less ice."

Old Man Wen felt a little regretful: "It's so hot, and you didn't even give us some ice."

Old Lady Wen rolled her eyes at him and said, "I'm worried you'll get diarrhea from drinking the ice. Have you forgotten that you went to the toilet a while ago to cool off?"
