Yoho, is this a letter from the government?

Everyone in the Song family looked at each other and hurriedly got up and went out. Meng Xuanye just came back from the field and walked to Song Fubao. Song Fubao suddenly realized and asked, "You didn't go back to town yesterday. How did they discuss it with you?"

In a word, Meng Xuanye smiled.

He laughed for a while before answering.

"Sister, you really look up to my brother! I'm just a closed will to supervise the white radish, rice and you. Although I have a noble status, I don't care about it so leniently. This kind of thing is handled by the local government. , Reported layer by layer to get the result, it has nothing to do with me, I can't make the decision."

If he intervenes without authorization and is discovered, he will also be referred to by his mortal enemy.

Besides, regarding this matter, he had a very clear answer, and he had reported to His Majesty that the appointment could fulfill Song Fubao's wishes, so it was not worth his trouble.

Song Fubao suddenly understood something, it turned out to be like this!

Only then did the others understand that it wasn't the Shizi who decided everything.

When the group arrived at the village head's house, almost all the men, women and children in the village had already arrived. It was the same battle as the previous few days. Many people were still wearing clothes and eating with bowls in their hands!

Everyone gathered in the yard, and Li Zhengda came to the middle of the yard and waved his hand, "As for the road construction from Ping'an Village to Ping'an Town, Song Fubao's proposal and the government's deliberations have reached a conclusion!"

"Great, finally there is a result, and the speed is quite fast!"

"What is the result? Can it be repaired? Will PV pay for it? We are willing to pay the toll, passing through our Ping'an Village, then I can set up a stall on the side of the road instead of going to the town. Far!"

"The most important thing is that this is the first place in Da'an country. Everyone is envious. I can lift my head to the sky when I go back to my mother's house! It is also very convenient for the girls and boys in our village to talk about relatives!"

……

Everyone was discussing non-stop, Song Fubao was waiting to hear the follow-up.

Lord Li Zheng also waited for the crowd to stop for a long time before continuing, "The result of the government's discussion is that they agree with Song Fubao's proposal. If the government raises funds to build roads, everyone will pay five yuan a month for tolls in the future. One way to get rid of tolls!"

Five pennies, everyone thought they could go whoring for free, but now they have to pay so much, five pennies a month, sixty pennies a year, which is quite a lot.

Originally, I thought it would be a heartache to give it, but when I heard that there is a free method, who would not be tempted?

Everyone was twittering and urging Mr. Li Zheng to speak out quickly!

Song Fubao probably guessed it, replacing silver with work!

Just like every time the country enlists strong men, if anyone doesn't want to go, he can buy the head with money, so he doesn't have to go.

"Qu Jing, the government really doesn't have much money, so people who want to take this road in the nearby ten miles and eight villages, each household sends a third of the family's strong men, at least one, to participate in road construction, and all future tolls can be exempted. If you don’t want to participate in road construction, you can also give money. If you encounter difficulties, those who have money will give money, and those who have strength will give strength. Do you think it is reasonable?”

After Master Lizheng finished his instructions loudly, discussions in the crowd immediately arose.

"Master Lizheng, what if we are orphans and widows, and we don't have a single strong man, can we only pay the toll later?"

"Master Lizheng. How much money will I have to pay if I don't go to repair the road? The boys in my family are all working in Song's house. There is no time, and there is still such a high salary. If there is not much money, we will not repair it. On the way, I have to earn some money for the New Year."

"Yes, yes, although there are strong men in my family, their legs and feet are not good."

"Can you do some other work? There are a few nearby villages that are still some distance from the main road, so they have to walk a section to get to the big cement road. Will they pay the same money and repair the same number of days as us?"

……

Everyone had a lot of questions, and Lizheng listened to them all and answered them one by one.

"For orphans and widows, it is enough to give everyone some food or tea according to the rotation. If you don't force it, if you don't give it away, you can just give [-] cash per year."

"If you don't build roads, you will pay ten taels of silver per head. Those with poor legs and feet can do light work, such as collecting raw materials, and you must go! The nearby village is directly connected to the village without a road, so the head fee is less than two taels of silver. You can also choose to pay tolls every year, or participate in road repairs, and get [-] yuan a month."

After the explanation, everyone quieted down and formed a small group to discuss the most beneficial way to participate.

The Song family also calculated that a road is about 15 kilometers. According to the standard pavement thickness of 50 cm, it takes ten days for one kilometer of road, and 150 days for fifteen kilometers, which is five months.

Even if the labor force of the ancient people was more powerful, most people did not have the money to choose to pave the road, and divided into several groups to work day and night, it would take about two months.

In two months, my aunt’s family can earn 15 taels of tofu, storytelling, elder brother’s 30 taels a month, blacksmithing, and the sacrifice of study time, so I can earn about 60 taels, and [-] taels of silver in two months.
