Walking into a cesspit, the best evil widow wants to stand up
Chapter 577 Road Construction and Land Acquisition
At this moment, the village chief came out of the room, glanced at the villagers present, and said enthusiastically: "Everyone is here~"
"Village Chief, what's the matter that you called us here so early in the morning?"
"That's right, I just finished the rice field and I have to plant the rice seeds. I can't delay any longer!"
"Yes! Village chief, tell us what you have to say quickly, because we have to go back to work after you finish speaking!" Uncle Zhuzi said impatiently.
Seeing everyone's anxious faces, unable to sit still, the village chief stretched out his hands and made a quiet gesture: "Everyone wait a little longer, let's wait a little longer, Dachun Niang hasn't arrived yet!"
"Big Chun Niang?"
Everyone looked at each other in surprise. It turned out that Dachun Niang was also coming. It must be something very important.
After hearing this, everyone was no longer in a hurry to leave, thinking that Dachun Niang's coming was definitely not a bad thing.
What's more, not all the villagers are coming, so they can't leave. They have to wait for Dachunniang to talk to them alone.
Just as everyone was thinking about it, Shen Ping came in from outside.
"Mrs. Dachun, you are here. Everyone has been waiting anxiously~" the village chief greeted warmly.
When they heard that Shen Ping had arrived, everyone looked towards the door.
Shen Ping's tall figure was wearing a lake blue dress, which made her fair skin look even more noble.
"Village chief, is everyone here?" Feeling everyone's attention, Shen Ping smiled and stunned everyone.
It was not until today that they discovered that Dachun Niang had lost weight since some time and had even become more beautiful.
She doesn't feel as vulgar as before. On the contrary, she looks like a noble lady from a wealthy family.
The village chief laughed heartily: "Everyone is here, just waiting for you!"
Shen Ping glanced around and saw that in addition to a dozen villagers, there were also the village chief and his sons. Because they had something to discuss, the children were probably sent out to play by the adults.
"I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting for so long!" Shen Ping smiled apologetically.
"Hehehe...it's okay!" The men smiled foolishly.
At this time, Xiao came out with tea and saw that all the men were staring at Shen Ping, including her own He Guang, and she immediately felt unhappy.
These stinky men used to avoid Dachun Niang, but now that she has become beautiful, they can't take their eyes off her.
Although Xiao was angry, she didn't blame Shen Ping. She just lamented that men are visual animals. She had to find a chance to ask Dachunniang how she became beautiful. She could learn from her.
Xiao smiled and said, "Mrs. Dachun, you are here. Come and sit here!"
She could see the displeasure in Xiao's eyes just now. Shen Ping knew that she must have been jealous because she saw the village chief staring at her.
However, Mrs. Xiao is still a sensible person. If it were another vulgar village woman, she might have twisted her husband's ears long ago. Shen Ping curled the corners of her mouth.
"Thank you Auntie Xiao~"
Shen Ping nodded in thanks and sat down.
"Cough cough..."
The village chief looked at the anger in his wife's eyes, and suddenly came to his senses. He quickly retracted his gaze and coughed lightly to cover up his embarrassment.
Then he said: "Since everyone is here, I will tell you straight away. Dachun Niang said that she wants to rebuild the road in the village..."
Before the village chief had finished speaking, everyone was in an uproar and started whispering to each other.
"This is a good thing!"
“The road in the village should have been repaired long ago, it’s full of potholes.
Uncle Zhuzi had a feeling that this matter was not that simple. If they just built the road directly, no one would object. But now they were just called over, and even Dachunniang came, so there must be other things.
"Village chief, this matter is not that simple, right? Otherwise you wouldn't let us come here, let alone let Dachun Niang come here!" said the man named Li Damao.
"Yes! Damao is right!" Uncle Zhuzi nodded repeatedly. Damao's words touched his heart.
Everyone came to their senses at this moment and looked at Shen Ping and the village chief.
Shen Ping smiled faintly: "Everyone listen to me, the village chief is right, I plan to pay for the reconstruction of this road. In addition, on the basis of reconstruction, I also want to expand it.
But if we want to expand, we must use your paddy fields, so I asked the village chief to invite you all to come and discuss..."
So that's how it is. Now everyone understands.
These fields are the roots of the farmers and the livelihood of the villagers. When a part of them is diverted to expand the road, the villagers immediately looked unhappy.
"How can this be possible! We don't have much land, and this is not enough to eat!" Li Damao said angrily.
His family has four children, who are now in their teens. They are said to be eating their father out of money. When the family property was divided, they only got three acres of land, which was not enough for food after deducting the tax.
The imperial court exempted grain taxes last year due to the drought, but this year is different. Seeing that most people had bought the high-yield rice from the previous crop, I didn’t buy it because I didn’t have the money.
Unexpectedly, in the end everyone harvested so much rice. His family had three acres of land, but he planted more than two acres of rice and only harvested a few hundred kilograms of rice.
I used to feel unhappy when I saw others producing more than 1000 kilograms per mu. Now the road is being expanded and built, and I only have three mu of land, two of which are close to the village road.
Now that's great. If we expand the road, a large section of it will be lost.
The village chief looked at Li Damao, turned around and whispered a few words to Shen Ping, briefly telling Shen Ping about his family's situation.
With the simple and clear words of the village chief, Shen Ping basically understood the situation of his family. The person with the most fields next to the village road was Li Damao. He had a two-acre field next to the village road.
Moreover, he did not buy high-yield rice last time, so he must be angry at the villagers' bumper harvest.
"So I asked the village chief to discuss it with you!" Shen Ping also noticed that Li Damao looked unhappy.
"Mrs. Dachun, you asked us to come here, so you must have some ideas. So just tell me what you want to do?" Li Damao looked straight at Shen Ping and said directly.
Shen Ping glanced at everyone and said slowly: "Now, this village road is only two meters wide. I plan to expand it by half and make it four meters wide.
In other words, we need to use a paddy field that is nearly two meters wide.”
As soon as Shen Ping said this, everyone was in an uproar. It would take nearly two meters of width, which meant a lot of rice would be lost.
Shen Ping stretched out her hand and made a quiet gesture: "Everyone, be quiet, I haven't finished speaking yet!"
The village chief shouted, "Don't get excited, everyone. Listen to what Dachun Niang has to say first!"
Only then did everyone stop.
"I've thought about it. For a two-meter-wide paddy field, I'll give you two taels of silver for every five meters."
"No, this price is too low!" Li Damao interrupted Shen Ping.
By this calculation, his field is nearly 40 meters long and two meters wide, which means it is 1 centimeters per square meter.
If we calculate that high-yield rice will be grown in the future, then this 1-centimeter piece of land can produce at least 2 kilograms.
