I rely on infrastructure systems to build a prosperous village

County Magistrate Xu in the carriage couldn't help but frown.

"Sir, shall we get off the carriage?"

After hearing the master's question, he pondered for a moment and said through gritted teeth, "Next."

I thought to myself: My dear countryman, I have risked everything for you. If anything good happens in the future, you must take me with you.

The two men got off the carriage and hurried over. At this time, many gentlemen, ladies and young ladies had come to watch the excitement.

Several constables standing at the checkpoint, upon seeing Magistrate Xu approaching, quickly bowed and said, "Greetings, sir."

The villagers from several villages, as well as the masters, mistresses, young men and young ladies nearby, looked at each other and quickly followed suit and bowed.

Magistrate Xu raised his hand to signal everyone to be more polite. He then winked at the legal advisor beside him. The advisor understood and quickly headed towards the carriage ahead: "Whose carriage is this? Why don't you get out of the carriage when you see me, sir?"

Shortly after the sneer, a deep and magnetic voice came from the carriage: "Are you sure you want our master to get off the carriage?"

"What's wrong? Do you have some hidden illness that prevents you from getting out of this carriage?"

A cold female voice came from the front.

The young men standing by couldn't hide their amazement when they saw the newcomer, while the young ladies' eyes sparkled at the dress she was wearing. The villagers from each village were delighted and hurried forward, shouting, "President."

"Well, you did a great job."

Li Lan said with a smile.

"Meet the magistrate."

"Country Lord."

County Magistrate Xu couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat for himself, and sighed inwardly: Fortunately, the county magistrate came. To be honest, he really didn't want to offend anyone in his heart, mainly because he couldn't afford to offend anyone.

"presumptuous."

As he spoke, one of the men in tight clothes on the edge of the car flew towards Li Lan with a sword in hand. Just when he thought he was about to stab Li Lan and was feeling proud, a silver sword that was cold all over was placed across Li Lan. A strong sword energy shocked the man and made him retreat several steps. Finally, he knelt on one knee with blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.

"Zhuang San."

Another man on the edge of the carriage shouted, his eyes darkening and he wanted to jump off the carriage.

"Zhuang Feng."

"Master, but..."

"Don't blame others for your own incompetence."

Hearing his cold tone, Zhuang Feng gritted his teeth and said, "Yes."

"Master Zhuang, since you're here, you have to follow our rules. Why are you checking so carefully? Why are you collecting swords? That's because there are over 1000 people in our four villages, and they're all powerless. I don't want my investment promotion conference to bring them any trouble. Master Zhuang, do you understand?"

A light laugh was heard from the carriage. A moment later, the carriage curtain was lifted, and a man wearing a jade crown and royal blue brocade robes walked out with his back bent.

There were gasps all around, and the young ladies blushed even more, whispering softly, "I've heard before that the Zhuang family's master is stunningly beautiful, and seeing him today, he truly lives up to his reputation."

"Of course I am. Just looking at this face is enough."

"I heard that the owner of the Zhuang family is not married yet."

"Really? Then tell me, should we put on a good show then?"

……

At this moment, Zhuang Yiyang looked at the woman not far away with a smile in his eyes. The woman was tall, with a high bun on her head, adorned with a golden hairpin. She wore a moon-white short-sleeved top with delicate light blue embroidered cuffs, as if swirling clouds. She wore a light pink half-sleeve shawl over her, the silk threads shimmering in the sun and gently fluttering in the wind. She wore a lake green long skirt, embroidered with intricate floral patterns in silver thread, each flower vivid and lifelike. A light yellow ribbon tied in a beautiful bow around her waist, with a warm jade pendant adorning the center of the ribbon.

After sizing up Li Lan, Zhuang Yiyang's eyes flickered, and he sighed inwardly: This woman is dressed elegantly yet elegantly. Could this be the one he wants to marry? If it's her, then there's nothing wrong with it.

Seeing this man looking at Li Lan like that, Zhou Da quickly stepped forward to block his sight.

Zhuang Yiyang scoffed at his actions and said, "Since the county lord cares so much about the people, why shouldn't I cooperate? Zhuang Feng, Zhuang San, hand over your swords and cooperate with their inspection."

"Yes, master."

Li Lan looked at Zhou Da, who was blocking his way, and shook his head helplessly. He slowly pushed him away and said with a smile, "Master Zhuang, you are wrong. My love for the people is secondary. The main thing is the benevolence of your Majesty. Your Majesty's love for the people is known to everyone. Your Majesty knew that I was holding an investment conference today, and he specifically asked me to protect their safety. Tell me, how dare I fail to fulfill your Majesty's instructions?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present gasped. They had originally thought that this woman was at most a county lady personally appointed by His Majesty, but they hadn't expected His Majesty to have her back. At this moment, everyone looked at her with a more cautious look.

A hint of displeasure flashed across Zhuang Yiyang's eyes, and then he said in a deep voice, "Of course we will obey His Majesty's benevolent heart."

"Then I'll trouble you, Master Zhuang. Mr. Zhou, please check on the Master Zhuang yourself."

"Yes."

Li Lan looked at everyone and clasped his fists, saying, "Everyone, I'll go ahead. We at Lijia Village, Chenjia Village, Wangjia Village, and Liujiawan welcome you all. If you don't know which village to go to first, you can take a look at the map and the introductions to each village before making a decision. See you at the investment promotion meeting tomorrow."

When everyone saw her get on the carriage and leave, they hurriedly looked at the map on the large wooden frame standing next to them, as well as the introductions to each village, and discussed enthusiastically which village to go to first.

"Master, this kind-hearted man really doesn't take you seriously."

After hearing his words, Zhuang Yiyang sneered and said coldly, "Zhuang San, I think you don't know who your master is?"

"Master, I dare not."

"Don't dare? Don't think I don't know."

Zhuang San lowered his eyes and said nothing more.

Zhuang Yiyang and his group were not feeling very comfortable, but Zhou Yunbei and Pei Sinan were really enjoying themselves. At this moment, the servants behind them were holding a full bag of food.

"Yunbei, this is so delicious. What is it called?"

When Li Laizi saw Pei Sinan asking him, he quickly said, "This is called fried skewers."

"It's delicious. Yunbei, let's go to the inn and book a room, otherwise we won't be able to book a room later."

"Okay. Where is the inn here? Take us there."

Upon hearing this, Li Laizi stepped forward and asked, "Gentlemen, would you like to stay at an inn or a guesthouse?"

The two looked at each other, and Pei Sinan asked curiously, "What's the difference between the two?"

"The inn is no different from our ordinary inns, except for the room furnishings and decorations. B&Bs are like staying in ordinary people's homes, which is more full of life."

After listening to Li Laizi's explanation, the two of them pondered for a moment. Pei Sinan said excitedly, "I want to stay in a B&B. Yunbei, let's stay in a B&B together."

Zhou Yunbei looked at his excitement and said in resistance: "I'll stay at the inn, you go to the B&B."

"Are we brothers? How about this: stay in a B&B today and an inn tomorrow?"

"Okay. Let's book a room at the inn first."

"Okay, let's go quickly."

Li Lan, who had just returned, was about to go check out the workshop when Zhou Wu hurried over.

"Madam, do you know who the Li family in Qinzhong sent?"

Li Lan looked at him in surprise, somewhat confused.

"Madam, it's Zhang Xuan."

"what?"

After a moment, Li Lan said in a deep voice, "Did you go to Liujiawan?"

"Yes, they drove two carriages into Liujiawan. One of them was filled with gifts for the Zhang family. I heard from the villagers that Zhang Xuan was the long-lost second son of the previous head of the Li family. He was just recognized a few days ago."

"Oh? Is that credible?"

"I checked and found nothing unusual. However, I feel like the investigation went too smoothly, as if someone was deliberately misleading me."

After hearing his words, Li Lan frowned and thought deeply. After a while, he said, "Keep an eye on him."

"Yes, ma'am."
