I rely on infrastructure systems to build a prosperous village

When Li Lan announced the day for the school's admission, everyone excitedly returned home in groups of three or five. The other village heads were even more eager to return home, and they hurriedly drove their ox carts back to the village. They had never felt that the road back home was so far.

Li Lan saw the village chief standing on the lawn outside the school, looking up at the three-story building for a long time without moving. He frowned slightly and hurried over.

"Village Chief, what's going on?"

The village chief lowered his head, his eyes slightly red, and choked up, "Lady Lan, such a good school is something I never dared to imagine. I am here to thank you on behalf of the whole village."

As he said this, he was about to kneel down, which frightened Li Lan so much that he quickly reached out to support him.

"Village Chief, please don't kneel. Since I have the ability to make everyone live a good life, why don't I do it? Please don't kneel."

"Yes, village chief. You are the elder, and our eldest girl is the younger generation. She is not worthy of your kneeling."

Upon seeing this, Mrs. Wang hurried forward and said seriously.

"Yes, yes, I am obsessed with appearances."

"Uncle Village Chief, our village is getting better and better now. Our good days are yet to come."

"Hahaha, Chunping is right. Our village will definitely get better and better."

At this time, there were bursts of footsteps outside the wall, coming from far away.

"Girl, the villagers are back again."

After hearing Li Xi's words, everyone standing on the lawn was stunned. Li Lan hurriedly walked out and looked at the smiling faces in front of him and was stunned.

Suddenly, Li Laizi came forward, nodded to Li Lan with a smile, and raised his hand to everyone. A neat voice rose from the ground, deafening, piercing through the clouds, echoing in the sky, and could not be calmed for a long time.

"We are deeply grateful for the president's kindness and we are filled with tears of gratitude for the president's kindness. Thank you, president."

……

As soon as the last words fell, Li Laizi raised his hand again, and everyone bowed deeply to Li Lan.

Looking at the crowd in front of him, Li Lan stood there in shock, his eyes sore, his nose sour, and his throat tight. After a while, he swallowed, calmed down, took a step back, bent down and bowed in return, and said with a smile: "Thank you all for your continued trust in me. It is because of your trust that our Lijia Village has reached this day.

I believe that in the days ahead, as long as everyone in our village works together and dedicates themselves to Lijia Village, our village will surely become better and better. Although we may not be able to live in brick and tile houses now, my promise remains unchanged. In the future, every household in our village will live in a blue brick and tile house.

"President, we are very happy with the two-story wooden house we live in now. It is a beautiful house."

"Yes, President. I see that Widow Chen's house has flowers planted, and the courtyard is even paved with cobblestone paths. It's so beautiful."

Widow Chen, who was named, smiled awkwardly in the crowd and said, "I did it according to the president's instructions. But don't worry, everyone. Let's work harder and it will be your turn soon."

"Yes, Aunt Chen is right. Let's work harder. Now that the road is paved, we still have about a month to build houses for everyone. Today, while everyone is here, I have another good news to announce to everyone."

When everyone heard this, they looked at each other, their excitement beyond words. They stood there quietly waiting for Li Lan's announcement.

"Tomorrow, our village's furniture workshop and soap workshop, as well as Chenjia Village's vermicelli workshop, Liujiawan's garment workshop, and Wangjia Village's food workshop will begin recruiting. If you're interested, please go to these places for interviews at 3:15 AM tomorrow."

"That's great, President."

"Which one do you want to go to?"

"As for me, I'd rather go to the workshop in our village. It's closer and more convenient."

……

Listening to the discussion among the crowd, Li Lan raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.

"But while we have to go to work, we should not forget to build houses in our own village."

"Understood, President."

"Okay, then everyone, disperse quickly and get back to work. We still have to hurry up and build our house."

……

After a while, Li Lan stood outside the school gate, looking at the vast wasteland opposite and in front of the school. He narrowed his eyes, thought for a moment, and pointed at the wasteland and asked, "Village Chief, do these wastelands have owners?"

"No, Lan girl. This is dry land. Most villagers would not choose this land."

"Alright then. Village Chief, Uncle Li Feng, take some money from the public welfare fund and select one person from every household in the village. We'll build a row of shops here and in front of the school, creating a small market. That way, in addition to welcoming the next wave of merchants in two months, as we develop, many more people will come here."

"Okay, Lan girl. Then I'll go to the county government office right away and take care of this matter."

"Okay, Village Chief. Let Uncle Li Feng go with you."

"Row."

Seeing the village chief and his companions leave, Li Lan turned his head, looked at Zhou Yuntian with a smile, and said, "I'm going to go to several other villages. Do you want to stay in the village or go with me to take a look?"

"Nature goes with you."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Bian Jing, Grand Tutor's Mansion.

"Your Highness, in two months, the Renshan County Monarch will hold an investment promotion conference. I suggest sending Zhuang Yiyang. This Renshan County Monarch is currently very popular with the Emperor. Moreover, this woman is extremely intelligent and has invented two tools that are beneficial to farming. After the morning court today, I heard that His Majesty summoned the Minister of Works Xu Zheng, the Minister of War Zhang Zhongzheng, and the Minister of Revenue Zhou Minhan separately. I suspect that the cement that His Majesty mentioned last time must have been successful."

"Oh? What is this cement?"

"I heard it can be used to build houses, roads, and city walls. It's also said that once it dries, it's waterproof and won't easily break."

The eldest prince, Qin Jinsheng, looked at Zhuang Minghui in surprise and said in shock, "Grandpa, do you have such a powerful thing?"

Seeing his doubts, Zhuang Minghui stroked his beard and said seriously, "I believe it is true."

After hearing his words, Qin Jinsheng thought for a moment and said, "Grandpa, Lord Renshan, we'll do as you wish. But if Lord Renshan refuses to be won over by us, what do you think we should do?"

"Your Highness, if this peasant girl is not suitable, then let Zhuang Yiyang marry her. It will be a blessing for her to marry into the Qinnan Zhuang family."

"can."

Zhonghe Hall of the Imperial Palace.

The three people standing there bowed their heads and waited for Emperor Huide's arrangements after a while.

"Xu Zheng, now that the cement is ready, make more as soon as possible."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Zhang Zhongzheng, Zhou Minhan."

"I am here, Your Majesty."

"I am here, Your Majesty."

"Zhou Minhan allocated some money to the Ministry of War to repair the major city walls. Zhang Zhongzheng urged the various branches of the Ministry of War to repair the city walls as soon as possible."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty, can cement be bought and sold?"

The Minister of Revenue bowed his head and asked.

Emperor Huide pondered for a moment and said, "Yes, but the daily quantity is limited. Sales are only allowed in stores operated by the Ministry of Revenue, including waterwheels. Please ask for their intended use. Sales to foreigners are prohibited."

Zhou Hanmin was delighted to receive the affirmative answer from Emperor Huide, and said excitedly, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Here, Li Lan and his companions were in Liujiawan, looking at the place where they would build the pier with the village heads.

"Girl Lan, once the Liujiawan Wharf is built, it will be bustling in the future."

"Yes, Grandpa Wang is right. There will be a constant flow of people in the future, so our remaining villages must also have their own unique characteristics. This is to retain the merchants who come and go or the people who come here specifically to play."

As soon as she finished speaking, several village heads began to think deeply.

"Girl Lan, do you have any plans for our other villages?"

Li Lan smiled as he looked at Village Chief Chen who was asking the question and said, "Yes, it is, but it's a waste of money, effort and time."
