The Royal Family's Orphan is on the Rise

Shen Jiarou returned to her old courtyard, feeling as if in a dream. The courtyard was still the same courtyard, but things and people had changed. There were three people there before, but now there was only her.

Unexpectedly, she felt a little sad at the moment because she hadn't been back for a long time.

Ruan Qingling looked at her master's small courtyard and began to talk to herself.

"It's obvious that the county lord's small courtyard has been carefully cleaned before."

She knew that her master had always been a hardworking person.

Nanny He, who was standing by, thought the same.

Shen Jiarou had been thinking about the village's economy. Suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind and she had an idea.

If she planned it carefully, maybe she could make this place a popular tourist attraction, and add some facilities, which would improve the villagers' living conditions.

Shen Jiarou made up her mind and decided to plan it carefully.

It was not until they returned to the town by carriage that Shen Jiarou finally thought of the first thing to do: repair the road.

If you want to get rich, you must first build roads, which is absolutely right.

"That's it."

Everyone was a little confused when they heard this.

"Xiang Jun, why do you do this?"

Shen Jiarou looked at them and chuckled.

"The village chief wanted me to help the villagers improve their living conditions. The first thing I thought of was to build roads."

Ruan Qingling and Yaer didn't understand what was said, but Nanny He and Bao Zhiqing already knew it.

Bao Zhiqing is a horse rider, so he must have a wide road so that he can ride better and faster.

Nanny He thought about the small paths on the road, some of which were not easy to travel on, and she also felt that her master's idea was a good one.

Shen Jiarou looked at Nanny He's expression and couldn't help but ask.

"Madam, do you agree with me?"

Nanny He chuckled and said respectfully, "What the township master said is correct. Master, just go ahead and do it. I support you."

Shen Jiarou, who had been fighting alone all along, was deeply moved when she suddenly heard someone supporting her decisions and ideas. She immediately stepped forward and hugged Nanny He.

"Thank you, Mammy."

Nanny He was stunned at first, then she smiled with relief and gently patted Shen Jiarou's little body.

In a gentle tone, he said, "Just remember one thing, my friend. Everything should be based on your own health."

No matter how important other things are, they cannot surpass her.

Shen Jiarou nodded happily, "I know, everyone has worked hard today, go back to your room and rest, I want to rest for a while too."

After saying that, she got out of the car and walked towards her room.

Nanny He saw everyone looking at her and waved her hand.

"As the master ordered, let's all rest."

After a while, she felt a little tired.

After waking up, Shen Jiarou was full of energy and began to prepare for road construction.

After planning the route and width, he asked Bao Zhiqing to send a letter to Village Chief Qin, asking him to make arrangements and giving him 100 taels of silver as funds for road construction.

In ancient times, road construction depended entirely on people, so more people were needed, and the wages were naturally higher, and other miscellaneous expenses would not be small.

With 400 taels of silver left, Shen Jiarou decided to go to the branch government office in the town.

With the idea of ​​exercising, Shen Jiarou decided to walk this distance.

The officials in the branch government office greeted her warmly when they saw that it was Shen Jiarou who had come to pick up the house deeds and land deeds not long ago.

"Miss Shen, what brings you here? Please come in."

Shen Jiarou asked Ruan Qingling to hand over the pastries she brought to the big brothers in the yamen.

"Brothers, this is a small gift from me. I hope you don't mind and try the osmanthus cake in the county town."

The big brothers in the yamen looked at each other and happily took the cakes.

"Thank you, Miss Shen. We won't be polite then."

The bailiff Shen Chenyu knew that Shen Jiarou came prepared, and it was not just to deliver cakes.

"Miss Shen, you came here today. Do you need to handle another house deed or land deed?"

Seeing Brother Shen's joke, Shen Jiarou smiled happily and replied.

"Brother Shen is really good at joking. I don't have that much ability to transfer property every day. But let's get back to the point. I came here today because I really have something to do."

Shen Jiarou turned around and nodded to Nanny He. Nanny He understood and took out 400 taels of silver and placed them on the table.

Shen Chenyu was a little confused, "Miss Shen, what's going on?"

He was quite shocked to see so many banknotes being taken out at once.

"It was originally 500 taels. I have asked the head of Huaishu Village to use 100 taels to arrange for road repairs. I want Brother Shen to send someone to arrange for the remaining 400 taels to be delivered to the other four village heads, or to directly arrange for people to repair the road."

Shin Chenyu was surprised by her behavior.

"Building roads?"

“Yes, road repair.”

Shen Chenyu admired her magnanimity. Not only was she so brave and courageous at such a young age, but she was also so magnanimous. They really respected her.

"500 taels is not a small amount."

Shen Shen Jiarou knew that Shen Chenyu was the type of person who would not stop until he got to the bottom of things, so she told him the story.

"This 500 taels was actually given to me by the Emperor. I felt it was very inconvenient to go back to the village today. So I thought about repairing the roads in the village so that it would be more convenient for me to go back home in the future. But I thought that if I only repaired the roads in our village, it would inevitably make people envious, so I decided to use the remaining 400 taels for road construction."

Shen Chenyu was even more shocked when he heard this. 500 taels reminded him that a few days ago, the county magistrate was personally conferred the title by the emperor, and that was a reward of 500 taels.

After figuring this out, Shen Chenyu immediately stood up and knelt down to pay his respects.

"I am Shen Chenyu, and I am here to see the Lord of the Township. I am sorry that I did not know the Lord of the Township's identity before."

Shen Jiarou chuckled, bent down and helped Shen Chenyu up.

"Brother Shen, you are really embarrassing me. I am just luckier. Please sit down and let's have a good chat."

Seeing that she did not blame him or act pretentiously, Shen Chenyu sat down calmly and talked to Shen Jiarou about the situation in the town.

"As you know, there are 12 villages in Huilong Town. I wonder which villages you want to repair the roads in."

"I was originally thinking of repairing the villages near Huaishu Village, but now that you mentioned it, I feel that repairing only five villages doesn't seem to be a good idea."

They are all from the same town. Other villages have access to roads, but they don't. Over time, they feel somewhat unbalanced.

Shen Jiarou felt a headache trying to sort out these things.

Shen Chenyu was also very grateful for Shen Jiarou's magnanimity. She actually used all the 500 taels of silver awarded by the emperor to benefit the people, which really made him admire her.

"Your Excellency, do not need to worry about this. It is a blessing for the people to have your love and care."

Shen Jiarou was amused by his serious look.

"Brother Shen, please don't flatter me, or I'll get cocky. How about this, since there are 12 villages, and 500 villages have been covered with 5 taels, I will pay another 700 taels to repair the village roads in the entire town, making it more convenient for everyone to travel."

Only Shen Jiarou could say such heroic words.

Nanny He beside him was shocked. This was such a generous act of the master. Even though she had experienced a lot, she had never seen such a magnanimous master.

Bao Zhiqing's eyes moved slightly.

Ruan Qingling looked at Nanny He and the others, and seeing that they did not speak, she had to suppress her doubts and continued to stand respectfully.

Shen Chenyu was shocked when he heard this.

"My dear, are you serious?"

700 taels, that was more than he could earn in his lifetime salary. The lady was generous and directly took out 700 taels, which really shocked him.

"Yes, 700 taels plus 400 taels is just enough for the remaining 11 villages."

After Shen Jiarou returned, she sent Bao Zhiqing to get 700 taels of silver and hand it over to Shen Chenyu.

When Shen Chenyu got the real silver note, he was a little bit unbelievable.

Considering the seriousness of the matter, I had to report it to the county magistrate. After all, 1200 taels of silver was not a small sum.

Shen Chenyu rode as fast as he could to the county government residence and immediately asked his colleagues to help pass on the message.

Lord Li, who was having dinner, was a little confused after hearing the report from his subordinates.

"You said Shen Chenyu from Huilong Town wants to see you?"

Huilong Town? Why does it sound familiar?

But he didn't think of it at the moment, so he gave up.

"Tell him to go to the front hall. I'll be right there."

Shen Chenyu waited for a moment in the front hall, and when he saw the county magistrate come out, he immediately bowed to him.

"grown ups."

Lord Li sat down on the chair in front of him.

"What are you doing here today?"

Shen Chenyu told Shen Jiarou all about her plan, shocking everyone present.

"really."

"Sir, take it seriously. This matter was told to me personally by the township lord. I dare not lie to you."

Lord Li clicked his tongue, thinking that the little girl was extraordinary. Despite her young age, she was very courageous and acted with boldness.

Huilong Town, no wonder he felt it sounded familiar, isn’t that the town where Xiangjun lives?
