I am engaged in construction in Datang

"Impossible!" The old woman sat on the ground, her face changed drastically. "The peddler said that the rouge was only worth 1000 coins."

When she stole the rouge, she specifically looked for the ones that were hidden in the bottom of the box and were covered in dust. She didn't dare touch the ones that were in plain sight.

"He lied to me!" The old woman gnashed her teeth and said, "I'm going to find that bastard!"

She got up again, ran two steps outside, and stopped again.

Where can I find it?

Peddlers go from street to street selling goods, and the goods are not necessarily from their area.

Thinking of this, the old woman's tears flowed down. This time she didn't howl, but just desperately hit her face with the sleeves of her linen clothes.

The head of the village gritted his teeth and said, "I..."

"Even if you pay for it, I don't want it." Mrs. Wang smiled and said, "I said, I want her to pay for it herself."

The head of the village sighed and dragged Mrs. Wang away to plead for mercy.

"Please forgive her this time."

Madam Wang frowned: "She has so many tricks up her sleeve. If you keep adding to them, when will it stop?"

Upon hearing this, the head of the village turned around and went into the inner room. He took out an account book and handed it to Mrs. Wang, and then dug out a few taels of silver from the ground under the bed.

"Madam, is there anyone in this world who is born with such a lot of tricks? Either they are taught by adults, or they learn it naturally after suffering a lot."

The head of the village sighed, "Some people use their minds and eyes on the right path, while others gradually become crooked."

"She was wrong and should be punished, but if Madam sends her to jail, what will happen to her sick boy?"

The village head said, "The villagers can't bear to see him starve to death, but no one will do anything about it."

Mrs. Wang opened the account book, which was filled with eight years of loan and repayment terms.

In the beginning, some people borrowed and repaid, but later on, it was all borrowed. There were a few repayments, but they were only small amounts.

It wasn't just the head of the village who contributed money; everyone in the village lent her money.

"I'm not afraid to tell you, this isn't the first time. As long as someone comes to ask for money, the village will pay it back." The head of the village said, as for those who haven't come, they don't know and can't pay it back.

"She is a bottomless pit. Maybe she is just relying on you to act so unscrupulously." Mrs. Wang said, implying that the relationship should have ended long ago.

The head of the village smiled and said nothing. At first, she borrowed and returned the money, but later she borrowed and never returned it. Later, she lent her less money.

The woman farmed alone, and after farming she had to weave cloth to sell. She had a husband with her a few years ago, but later he died of illness. Her family could not fill the hole, so they cruelly cut off contact with her, and no one helped her since then.

There is no hope in this life. If I can't get through it, I will be driven crazy.

The head of the village thought that such a person would not live long, so since they were neighbors, he could lend them some money to help them, and the villagers would feel at ease.

"How is the cloth woven by the woman? How is the embroidery?"

The headman understood instantly, his eyes lit up: "Great! That's quite correct."

"Then tell her to come to Sun Mansion in the city to find me tomorrow." Mrs. Wang returned the account book to the head of the village, got up and left. When she left, she put the silver and money given by the head of the village on the table.

"Yinhuan, let's go."

The crowd came in a mighty procession and left in a mighty procession, leaving behind only the scent of makeup on Mrs. Wang's body, which lingered for a long time.

The lady's carriage was colorful, with ceramics, jade, and gold bells hanging on it, and silk gauze curtains with colorful satin, swaying as it went.

"Madam, please really buy her cloth." Yinhuan was worried. It was obvious at first glance that this man was a bad person.

"Buy it. There are so many good and bad cloths in the mansion, and this one is not enough. You also know that I like all kinds of patterns. No matter it looks good or not, as long as I have it, I will be happy."

"Alas, no one has been cooking for me lately. Look how thin I have become!"

Yinhuan glanced at the Madam's face. Because the cook fell down these days, the Madam always went to the restaurant to eat, and she actually gained a lot of weight.

"Ma'am, what if she deliberately sold it at a high price?"

"Yinhuan, do you still remember the days when I was raised in the master's house as a child?"

Mrs. Wang closed the economics book in her hand and stopped smiling. "What do you mean by being clever, smart and sensible? It's just that she has suffered too many losses and knows how to read people's faces."

She has been planning ten steps ahead since she was young, and she has become adept at studying all people and things together.

The old lady of the host family liked her the most, so she arranged a good marriage for her.

Children from poor families grow up early, girls from common families know what people say (they don’t take meat with them when they are served at the table), and illegitimate sons from rich families are good at scheming. Every word they say is sad.

That old woman may not be evil to the core.

"The village had no money, so they watched her slowly die."

"But ma'am, I am happy today and am willing to give her a way to pay off her debt for the sake of the head of the village."

"I am always willing to pay more for things I buy. Now that the pros and cons have been made clear, if she can't catch him, then she can't blame anyone else."

……

"Xiaochun, how much did the house in Cuizhu Garden sell for?" Li Yin worked non-stop, writing medical books.

Mr. Sun has been urging her to give him the book these days, coming once every hour, and his persistence is scary.

"Three villas, two buildings, and one commercial house."

"The one who bought the most is Murong Shun." Thinking of this, Li Xiaochun couldn't stop laughing: "When the community is completed, Murong Shun will make a lot of money."

"fair enough."

Li Yin agreed: "At that time, he was a role model. The more comfortable his life was, the less resistance the foreign royal families had to come to live in the capital."

"Master, are you going to start building cement roads?"

"The Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Revenue came to the factory a few days ago to buy cement. They want to pave the roads in the city and also pave the official roads."

"We need to think about this matter carefully." Upon hearing this, Li Yin put down her brush and hung the written paper on the bamboo pole behind her to dry.

"Although cement roads are not expensive, they do more harm than good nowadays."

"Bicycles were not yet common, and vehicles that could travel by other means had not yet appeared. Building cement roads too early would harm the health of cattle and horses."

"If the horses can no longer run long distances once, who will dare to travel this route in the future?"

"The city can be repaired. It's close and won't cause too much damage. We can also re-plan the underground waterway, but the official road cannot be repaired."

Now, there are several cement roads built, connecting the four places of Nuzhuang, the capital, the college and the factory area, so that everyone can ride a bicycle to travel even when it rains.

He would only ride a horse in an emergency or when traveling long distances.

"Then I will explain the pros and cons to the people in the government office, and the cement will not be used to repair the official road for the time being." Xiaochun was about to turn around and leave when he was stopped by Li Yin.

"Xiaochun, there are too many books to be written recently."

She said slowly, "Tonight you call Uncle Sanxi, Xiaoxia, Xiaoqiu, Xiaomiao, and Xiaohua over..."

Li Xiaochun's forehead was immediately covered with sweat, and he was shocked: "Are we going to start another multi-person sketch?"

Li Yin nodded. If she didn't do this, she would never be able to finish writing down what was in her mind.

This time, there are no fewer medical books than last time on economics.

"Master." Xiaochun said sadly, "After this sketch, we need to take a vacation!"

"..."

Li Yin reluctantly said, "Half a day."

After that, she began to organize the medical book she was going to write this time in her mind.

When sketching, the system will display six light screens in her mind at the same time, and then mark the paragraphs to be read with a highlighter.

Because writing is slower than reading, she would control the number of words she recites each time to around 150. One reason is to make it easier for everyone to remember them, and the other is to give everyone enough time to write.

Xiaochun gave each of the six people a book, and she would read the paragraph of the person whose name she pointed out.

After several people finish writing, Li Yin will check the paragraphs.

She has a system and can find the loopholes by scanning it.

As long as the text and meaning are correct, the rest can be handed over to others to edit, compile, print and publish.

It’s hard for Xiaochun and the others.
