After breakfast, Li Yun took the blueprints and went to Daqingshan to find Xu Changhao to prepare for the construction of the house. Following behind him was the sweet dog Shangguan Feiyun.
"Madam, good morning!" Xu Changhao greeted Li Yun when he saw her coming.
"Good morning, did you sleep well last night?" Li Yun asked Xu Changhao.
"I slept well, thank you, ma'am." said Xu Changhao.
"I feel relieved that you slept well. Go call those bricklayers over. Here are the blueprints of the house you want to build." Li Yun handed the blueprints to Xu Changhao and said.
"Madam, I'll go and call them over." Xu Changhao quickly came over with the bricklayers. They were all shocked after seeing the blueprint. The house drawn by Madam was so beautiful. They would live in this yard in the future. They felt happy just thinking about it.
They asked about some things they didn't understand, and Li Yun answered them one by one.
As soon as he finished speaking, someone brought bricks and tiles, and Xu Changhao asked everyone to start building the house.
Shangguan Feiyun rode a horse and took Li Yun to Shanling Mountain. This was Li Yun's first time here. The mountain was indeed much smaller than Daqing Mountain, only about five or six hundred acres. Ma Youcai really gave him too many acres.
"Madam, good morning!" Huang Ergou greeted Li Yun.
"Okay, have the bricks and tiles been delivered?" Li Yun asked Huang Ergou.
"No." Huang Ergou said.
"This is the blueprint of the house you want to build. Let them come over and take a look. If there is anything they don't understand, I will explain it to them." Li Yun said to Huang Ergou.
"Yes, ma'am." Li Yun waited for Huang Ergou to bring people over and handed the drawings to the bricklayers. They had the same expressions as the bricklayers in Daqingshan.
After reading it, they raised some questions and Li Yun answered them in detail.
The bricks and tiles have been brought in, and Li Yun asked them to start work so that they can move in as soon as possible.
Then she took some gifts and went to see the village chief of Dongshan Village. Although she had already bought Shanlingshan and it belonged to her and she could do whatever she wanted with it, she still wanted to have a good relationship with the villagers of Dongshan Village.
The village chief of Dongshan Village is surnamed Lin, a native of the area.
The village chief's house is a two-story blue brick and tile house, which is very grand. It seems that his family is wealthy, but I don't know how he got the money.
"Hello, village chief. I bought Shanling Mountain. My name is Li Yun and I live in Qingshan Village." Li Yun spoke straight to the point when he saw the village chief.
"So you are Li Yun, the widow from Qingshan Village. I have heard of you for a long time. Please take a seat." Village chief Lin said politely after knowing the other party's identity.
Qingshan Village is very famous in the surrounding area because it produced a legendary figure - Li Yun.
The shop she opened was doing a booming business, and she also employed villagers from Qingshan Village to work for a long time, driving the village to prosperity. It was said that she had a very good relationship with the county magistrate, and he personally helped her sister-in-law write a letter of divorce from her husband, which had never happened before in the Jin Dynasty. Now everyone in Qingshan County was talking about it.
He also knew that Qingshan Village was going to build a college where both boys and girls could study for free. Many villagers in his village came to him and asked him to go to Qingshan Village to find the village chief so that the children in their village could also study for free.
He went to see Village Chief Chen, but was rejected by him, saying that the academy was built with money from Li Yun and he had no authority to agree.
I also told him that he could go and ask Li Yun what she thought, but I didn't expect her to come to me.
"You're too polite, village chief. I came here today to establish a good relationship with you. I plan to build a Yunshan Village in Shanling Mountain. This has also been approved by the county magistrate. In the future, Yunshan Village and Dongshan Village will be two neighboring villages. I hope everyone can get along well." Li Yun said directly to the point.
"Okay, but I have a condition." Village Chief Lin took the opportunity to make a request.
He thought it was a good opportunity and believed that she would agree for the sake of the villagers of Shanlingshan.
"Village chief, please tell us and see if it can be done." Li Yun did not agree immediately.
"We can definitely do it. I heard that Qingshan Village has built an academy that provides free education to children. My request is to let the children in Dongshan Village also receive free education. I believe this request is not difficult, right?" Village Chief Lin said to Li Yun.
“It’s not difficult, not difficult at all.
"But why should I agree? Our original agreement was to give the children of Qingshan Village the opportunity to study. I have no relatives or friends in Dongshan Village, so why should I provide free education for your children? If you want to send your children there, it's fine. The annual tuition for each child is ten taels of silver, and they have to buy their own pens, inkstone, and brushes. They also have to pass a character assessment before they can enter the school." Li Yun said without giving any face, and even listed the requirements for admission to the academy.
"Why do you ask us to pay ten taels of silver? Let me tell you, if you don't allow the children in our village to go to school for free, I will not agree to let you live in the mountains." Village chief Lin said threateningly.
"Then I'll wait and see. The people of Anqiu County live in Shanling Mountain, which will be Yunshan Village in the future. This is allowed by the county magistrate. If you dare to stop the villagers from building a new village, you are lying to the county magistrate. Do you know the consequences?
Think carefully about it. Don't let your family or the villagers suffer imprisonment for such a trivial matter." Threatening her, she hates being threatened the most. She can tolerate people who are more powerful than her, but she doesn't care about Xiaoxia Xiaomi at all. To be threatened by him is a joke. Wouldn't it be a waste to live two lives?
"Just because you think you have an affair with the county magistrate, I'm afraid of you. As the saying goes, even a judge cannot judge family affairs. Our two villages are just fighting internally. It doesn't violate the law, and the county magistrate can't do anything to us." Village chief Lin was not affected at all.
What kind of village is Dongshan Village? They are just a bunch of ruffians and are afraid of the county magistrate.
"Pa pa pa!" Village chief Lin was beaten on both sides by Li Yun and Shangguan Feiyun at the same time, and his face was swollen like a pig's head.
