".....Well!"
Lin Yiran stared at Madam Xiao in astonishment, "I'll have to ask Xiao Yunzhan about this."
No way, Madam Xiao is going to sacrifice her only son for the Xiao family?
Old Madam Xiao didn't even know that the father and son were still alive, so how could she be willing to sacrifice Xiao Yunzhan?
The ancients were willing to give up everything for their family.
Madam Xiao smiled with an ambiguous tone, "He should be willing."
Seeing how attentive that boy has been to Ranran recently, she wouldn't believe him if he said he had no feelings for her.
Who can not like such a good girl like Ranran?
"Hehe..." Lin Yiran laughed dryly twice, not knowing how to respond to Madam Xiao's words.
She could not understand the spirit of the ancients who sacrificed for their families.
Just when Lin Yiran was embarrassed and didn't know what to say to Madam Xiao, Governor Tian came running over.
"Oh my, your humble servant greets General Long and General Tiance!"
Prefect Tian clenched his fists and shouted excitedly at Lin Yiran and the other person from a distance.
If he can participate in such a major road construction project that benefits the people and the country, he will be famous for generations to come.
How could he not be excited about this?
Lin Yiran looked at Prefect Tian, who was as black as coal, and grinned.
Since the road construction began, Magistrate Tian has not missed a single day and comes to supervise the work every day.
It's tanned so dark that from a distance you can only see the bright whites of the eyes and the shiny white teeth.
In fact, Magistrate Tian’s teeth are not so white, it’s simply because his face is too tanned.
Prefect Tian ran to Lin Yiran breathlessly and looked at her with admiration.
"I thank General Long on behalf of the people who built the road."
"Huh!?" Lin Yiran looked at Magistrate Tian in surprise, not knowing why he said that.
Magistrate Tian grinned.
"Ever since General Long had the names of all those who built the road engraved on the monument of merit, the people have been very motivated."
"Those one thousand merit tablets are really spectacular."
"When the road is repaired and it's erected on both sides, anyone passing by will have to stop and take a look."
He was even more motivated. He had always been willing to build the road, and now he wanted to sleep on the road.
There are thousands of merit tablets on this road, and everyone can find his or her own name on them.
hey-hey!
He was listed on the first stele of merit along with General Yongchang Wanglong and others, and his name was very large.
Magistrate Tian rubbed his hands excitedly. This was a great merit.
Lin Yiran laughed dryly, and the corners of her mouth twitched twice.
One Thousand Merit Tablets!!
Indeed, anyone passing by has to stop and take a look. If you don’t know, you might think you have accidentally entered a cemetery.
She just mentioned this at the time, that we could create a monument of merit to increase the cohesion and enthusiasm of the group.
In ancient times, people would put up monuments several meters high and dozens of meters long at both ends of the road. How come there are a thousand of them now?
"All--carved?"
"That's absolutely necessary," Prefect Tian clapped his hands in praise. "The craftsmen worked day and night to carve the names of everyone involved, without missing a single one."
He went to see it specially, and every time he saw it, he felt excited.
"...Okay, that's good."
Lin Yiran smiled with the corners of her lips pulled.
Now that the carvings have been done and everyone likes them, let’s put them up on both sides of the road.
Once you get used to it, it can be considered a unique landscape.
(Pingliang City Magistrate He: "Good for you, Mr. Tian, for not telling me about this good thing. If you carve it, I'll carve it too. Our road will be longer. Let's carve 1,200 merit tablets!")
(Pinghe City Magistrate Li: What? I'm still short of these tablets! Let's carve merit tablets too. Since there are so many people, we must carve more. We'll have 1,300 merit tablets...)
Lin Yiran had no idea that the merit stele, which was originally unique to the road in Shuitian City, would eventually become a standard feature on all roads in Daliang State.
Magistrate Tian grinned and couldn't stop laughing.
Oh my god, he never thought that he would be remembered in history during his lifetime.
The smile on Mrs. Xiao's face never faded.
Ranran has a very smart brain and many brilliant ideas. Everything he does is popular among the people, so much so that people think he is a god.
"father!"
Magistrate Tian was laughing happily and was about to ask when the monument-raising ceremony would be held when he heard Tian Qiaoqiao's voice coming from a distance.
His heart skipped a beat and his eyes quickly flicked to Lin Yiran's face.
Oh no, how could he forget about this damn girl? Don’t let her cause any trouble for him.
"I'll take my leave. Generals, please take your time. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me..."
Magistrate Tian saluted with his fists, turned around and hurried towards Tian Qiaoqiao.
It’s a pity that he was delayed for a moment while saying this, and Tian Qiaoqiao had already rushed behind him.
When Magistrate Tian turned around, he almost bumped into Tian Qiaoqiao.
He frowned and winked at Tian Qiaoqiao.
(Go away, you little bitch! Don’t cause any trouble for me.)
Tian Qiaoqiao raised her eyebrows and smiled, then walked around the anxious and angry Prefect Tian.
"Your humble servant greets General Tiance and General Long!"
Tian Qiaoqiao clasped her fists and saluted the two of them in a very dignified and standard manner.
