After a few days, the paved cement road was finally ready to be walked on.
After Chai Wu and others walked onto the smooth and flat cement road, their admiration for Zhao Jun increased even more.
The people living nearby also saw this road, and then they all heard the name of this female official from Xianyang.
"Uncle Chai, thank you all for your hard work from now on."
"As we agreed before, the other planned cement roads in Linjiao County will be handed over to you."
Zhao Jun stood aside and gave instructions to Chai Wu.
Chai Wu had just gotten off the road and was feeling very excited.
Hearing her say this, he immediately agreed with his brothers with great ambition.
After that, Zhao Jun handed over the paving of the county roads to them and no longer took care of it himself.
"Sir, the cement road in the county is easier to pave. Next is the road from Linjiao County to Zhoujun."
"Does your Excellency have any ideas about this section of road?"
Xiao He sat in the yard with his notebook and discussed with Zhao Jun.
"Well, that's right. Let's check it out according to the map."
She pulled out the map she had drawn along the way.
"If we look at it in sections, some of the sections are not too difficult to walk on, mainly consisting of weeds and dense forests."
"For these sections of road, we can gather manpower and pave a section of gravel road. Then we won't need cement later. Gravel road will be enough."
Xiao He listened and nodded in agreement.
"These sections of the road are not complicated, but they require some manpower and material resources. The rest is a river crossing, a downhill section, and that cliff section."
"I already have an idea for that river. I'll pour cement first, just like digging a well before, and then push it into the river piece by piece. That way, we can cross it by stepping on it."
The two discussed for a long time, and Xiao He instantly became very confident about the construction of the road.
The adults have already planned it very well, and all we have to do now is to execute it.
"But Xiao He, this road construction project won't be completed overnight. Just paving the gravel road will probably take about a month."
"I see."
Xiao He nodded. He knew that according to the adults' plan, it would probably take two or three months to complete the construction of this road.
"So, we don't need to rush to build the road yet. We need to focus on it after Chaiwu finishes building the county town and even paving those sections of gravel road."
It would be impossible for Zhao Jun to stay on the road for the next two or three months.
"So, since the Lord has said so, then you already have something you want to do."
Xiao He raised his eyebrows and looked at her. She must have had her own ideas.
"You've been in Linjiao County for so long, have you ever visited the Shijia pepper picking area?"
Zhao Jun looked at him with an ambiguous smile on his face.
“I don’t have that.”
At first, Xiao He just strolled around the streets of the county town with Liu Ji for a day, and then followed Zhao Jun and Chai Wu to busy themselves with road construction.
I haven't really paid attention to the situation of Shijia pepper.
"I'm quite interested in the planting, picking and selling of Shijia peppercorns."
"It just so happens that Uncle Chai and his men are helping us during this period, so we don't have to worry about the roads in the county anymore. So why not go and explore a little and deepen our understanding of Bashu."
Zhao Jun showed a harmless smile.
"Of course I agree with that."
"But, that Shi Hong..."
Xiao He wanted to say something but stopped himself.
Shi Hong was so brazen that he didn't even try to hide it later on.
However, Zhao Jun was busy with work with Chai Wu those days and didn't seem to pay much attention to him.
"Him."
Zhao Jun waved his hand indifferently and spoke with a regretful tone.
"Have you seen him these past two days? It's really boring that he backed out after just a few days."
Xiao He recalled that it was true. It seemed like he hadn't seen him posting for two days.
He glanced at Zhao Jun, who didn't seem to care much.
He probably saw that Zhao Jun was rejecting him, so he gave up.
At that time, Shi Hong had been sitting in his yard looking at the sky for two days.
He has been feeling very frustrated these days. He has clearly shown it, but why is Lord Zhao still so indifferent?
That shouldn't be the case. Their interactions are normal, and she is very frank when talking about serious matters.
But if you ask if there is any personal affair, it seems that there is none at all. Lord Zhao seems to be busy with official business all the time.
Could it be that he didn't see what he was thinking?
"well--"
Shi Hong sighed again and continued to look up at the sky.
“Big Brother!”
"What's been going on with you lately? You've ignored everything at home and just come here to stare blankly."
"It's been so long since Shitou came back, and I haven't seen you go drink with him."
"Why are you sighing here, pretending to be deep?"
Shi Yu appeared out of nowhere and started questioning him.
He still didn't dare to lose his temper with his younger sister Shi Hong.
He said this with a flattering smile.
"No, I'm just taking a break. Don't you and my second brother are at home? Don't worry, if there is anything you can't solve, you must come to me."
"But big brother is a little busy recently, and I still have to chase your sister-in-law, so I'll be out first."
After saying this, Shi Hong left the seat where he had been sitting for two days and ran out.
He made up his mind and couldn't give up. Sincerity is the key to success.
"Why are you chasing after your sister-in-law? You haven't given up on that court lady yet!"
Shi Yu looked at his back and shouted a few times.
She stamped her feet in frustration and shook her head helplessly.
"Okay, little sister, don't be angry."
Shigan comes out from the other side and comforts the little sister who is about to explode with anger.
