When the villagers came, they were a little confused when they saw this posture.

"Isn't Brother Qing recruiting workers?" Someone asked.

Liu Yaoqing turned her head back with a smile, "No, I don't care about these things. This is a relative of my family, and she is very capable, so don't worry."

"We all belong to the same village, and we are also building roads for our village, so why worry about it?"

"I also heard that it is tossing something like a stone, and I am afraid that it will be used for road construction."

After all, the people in the village went to the interview for Liu Yaoqing's face. Brother Rui also knew this. He asked questions one by one with a straight face.

When the people are complete, it's time to get busy.

There are four or five temporary stoves, one meal a day, meat, and fullness.

There is also a workshop at the foot of the mountain. The Taoist leader leads the people to burn the cement, and the people outside follow the instructions, carrying sand and water. Starting from the foot of the mountain, they pave the road to the widest street in the village.

The cement used at that time was not the right color, and it looked like mud, but after two days, it was obvious that the flat ground had hardened, like a stone.

Holding a stone and scratching it a few times, there are only shallow traces that can be ignored.

"It's such a flat road, you don't have to be afraid to walk on it even at night."

"Yeah, doesn't the carriage seem to be floating on it?"

"Good thing, good thing."

The people of Shanggu Village worked hard and built the road to the town, and that was the end of the matter.

There are still a lot of people who are still unsatisfied, but the men in the town stand up spontaneously, and those who are ready to gear up also want to build such a road. I heard that they don’t care about food and wages. Where can I find such a good thing?

Although everyone can eat enough and wear warmth, but the price of food is low, money is still very important.

No one has trouble with money, and work is not considered tiring, it is just a period of time, and it is not years of work.

There were also many people who came to watch after hearing about it.

I also heard that these things are presided over by Brother Rui. He is still a child and has not yet married, but everyone who sees Brother Rui is amazed.

Several chickens were killed on the mountain, and Mrs. Li roasted several. Liu Yaoqing brought the children to send roast chickens to Rui Ge.

In order to keep an eye on the road construction, he has to keep accounts, settle accounts, etc. every day. Brother Rui seems to have lost a lot of weight.Brother Chu felt distressed at first, but knowing that Brother Rui was doing a serious job, he stopped taking care of it and played with himself.

"It's dark and thin." Liu Yaoqing looked at Brother Rui's appearance, feeling a little distressed.

It was okay when the road was being built in Shanggu Village, but when he arrived in the town, it was inconvenient for Brother Rui to go back to the mountain to sleep, so he could only pitch a tent outside. Although the food and clothing were good, it was not as comfortable as on the mountain.

"My strength has also increased." Rui Ge said with a smile.

The grilled chicken was oily and burnt on the outside, but the meat inside was very tender. Brother Rui took it and tore a chicken drumstick to eat. He really suffered outside and missed the days on the mountain very much.

Qin Jingyu brought a bamboo tube and said, "It contains strawberry juice and ice."

"Well, thank you." Rui Ge took a big gulp of strawberry juice, and suddenly felt as if he came back to life.

"Let's have a barbecue outside today." Liu Yaoqing said, "I haven't come out for a long time."

He didn't just ask about road construction, only when Brother Rui encountered a problem that he couldn't solve, he would take the initiative to ask.Now that Liu Yaoqing has let go, he will not take power again, and he is happy to be at ease.

It can also be done on the barbecue mountain, and it is more convenient over there, but this is only for Brother Rui, and everyone knows it well, but they didn't say anything about it.

The iron frame was erected, and Brother Zhezi brought the planks from the carriage, and quickly joined the simple benches and tables.

Then he took out the wooden box from the carriage, which contained ice, fresh vegetables, meat, etc., as well as fruits, marinated chicken feet, kelp, etc. to eat.There are also cakes, small round cakes the size of half a palm, skewered with bamboo sticks, and baked. They are crispy, delicious, and very delicious.

Liu Yaoqing squatted in front of the iron shelf, waiting for brother Zhezi to bake it, and waiting to eat by herself.

The children gathered together, muttering, not knowing what to play.

The other workers saw it and said with a smile: "We are too tired to work, but you are doing well, and you are eating."

"Hey, if you want to eat, you can go home and eat." Liu Yaoqing said bluntly, "How much is the pork belly at the Yamen stall? Buy half a catty and cut it into slices. It tastes delicious when roasted."

"Oh, I don't want to hear such words, otherwise I will definitely not come to work tomorrow and go to buy meat."

"Hey, that's my plan. Tell me to buy meat with my mother-in-law tomorrow, and we'll roast it tonight."

The price of meat at the yamen stalls will not change easily, no matter whether it is rising or falling, there is a reason for it.Basically every household can afford to buy a catty of pork belly. Seeing Liu Yaoqing's tossing around, there are really many people who plan to do so.

As a result, the pork belly was sold out as soon as the yamen stall opened, and those who came late had to buy something else to go back.

After eating a barbecue, Liu Yaoqing left some food for Rui Ge, and took the children back.

Before leaving, Liu Yaoqing talked to Brother Rui alone for a while, reminding him to be careful of people making trouble.

Although it is a good thing to build roads, take care of food and pay wages, there will always be people who are not satisfied.Some people are like this, even if they have gold and silver in their hands, I am afraid that a big money in the hands of others is the best, and it will be even better if they are in their own hands.

Brother Rui was mentally prepared, but when he actually encountered trouble, he was still at a loss.

Send a letter to Liu Yaoqing and wait for him to come, the place where the road was built has changed a lot.

Cement was spilled all over the floor, and the workers smashed and smashed it, even the stove for cooking was smashed.

"What's going on?" Liu Yaoqing asked.

Brother Rui's eyes were red, he felt sorry for these things, and it had been smooth sailing all this time. Not long after he left Shangnan County, something happened, and he couldn't accept it.

"It's obviously a good thing, why would someone come to destroy it." Brother Rui wiped his eyes and said, "The road built this time does not overlap with the previous official road. It was easy to repair, and it would be safer to walk in the future, so the two villages were not satisfied."

The original official road has many twists and turns, and there are many potholes. Once it rains, it is very uncomfortable to walk, and it is close to the hillside, which is very prone to dangers such as landslides.

But the original official road was very close to a village. It was because of a master Juren in that village that the official road turned several turns.

The other village was not happy for a long time. This time, Ruige presided over the road construction. He didn’t plan to go along the original official road, but changed the route. Those who are not happy will come to find fault.

Brother Rui originally planned to appease the village of Master Juren, but just after he said a few words, the other villages thought he planned to follow Master Juren's village, so they also started to find fault.

The two villages disagreed, but in the end they smashed together and left.

"What are you going to do?" Liu Yaoqing asked.

"I originally wanted to ask the Yamen to arrest them all." Brother Rui felt sorry for the smashed things, "but then I thought about it, I can't imprison them for a lifetime, and they might not be convinced that way. But now I I can't think of a way..."

Brother Rui was very anxious. He knew that if the issues in the two villages were not resolved, the road construction would not continue, and if something like this happened now, it might happen again in the future. He couldn't fail to solve it every time.

"Where is Master Juren?" Liu Yaoqing asked.

"Should still be in the village." Brother Rui said so, suddenly realized something, a little enlightened.

Seeing that Brother Rui understood, Liu Yaoqing continued, "Find a way to make them balance. After all, you can't stay here forever, let alone help one of the villages forever."

This seems simple, but it can train people's balance. Liu Yaoqing also told Brother Rui that if it was another child, he would definitely tell the solution directly.

Brother Rui thought for two days by himself, then went to talk to Master Juren, and then asked Lizheng from another village to come forward.

In the end, the two villages took a step back, and the road was still repaired according to the revised version, but the original official road was also kept, but another village was required to help repair it.

In the end, this incident became the most shining part of Rui Ge's life, and it was constantly explored by later generations.

There are more and more roads being built, and the places leading to them are getting farther and farther away, but it is easier for the carriage to go back and forth. Even at night, you can run along the road without hindrance.

Liu Yaoqing also asked Brother Rui to think of a way, like the roads in the county, not only should they be repaired smoothly, but also lanterns should be placed on both sides of the road, especially during festivals, so that people on the road can recognize the way.

It cost a lot of money to build the road, Liu Yaoqing didn't help much, it was all solved by Brother Rui himself.

"It's not enough just to build the road." Liu Yaoqing said again, "Although people who have actually walked this road know that it is convenient, but there are still many people who have never seen it? They may not think that you did the right thing, Brother Rui. You have to find a way to let them know, and let them know that building roads is good."

Brother Rui didn't think about it himself, so he ran to look for Liu Yaoqing.

There were other children in the room at that time, Liu Yaoqing sent them all away, and then said: "Do you have a good relationship with the scholars? The pens in their hands, and their mouths are really eloquent."

Ever since Liang Songzi tossed about things twice in three days, the scholars in Daqin also followed suit.

For scholars, the first is whether one's knowledge is good or not, and the second is whether one's reputation is great or not.

People who are full of poems and books don't know, others don't know that you are knowledgeable, no matter whether it is the imperial examination or being an official, no one will be convinced, and because of the mentality problem, the imperial examination will perform abnormally, but if you are famous, even if your knowledge is not so good, you will not be convinced. Someone will be willing to recommend an official.

Scholars are good at speaking and writing, if you offend them, you may be scolded for years or decades, and even if they publish books, generations to come may be scolded.

However, there are many scholars and there is no way to forcibly interfere, so we have to find another way.
