I rely on infrastructure systems to build a prosperous village

After the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, the villages began to get busy, and Li Lan was no exception. The backbones met to discuss matters, workshops, and the next arrangements for each village.

It was already evening, and eight people were still sitting in the meeting room of Lijia Village, waiting for Li Lan's arrangements.

"Lady Lan, when will you be back from Bianjing?"

"Village Chief, it takes more than a month to go to Bianjing and back. I estimate it will take at least three months."

As soon as she finished speaking, the other eight people were stunned, with a trace of worry on their faces.

"That's not a long time."

Village Chief Wang of Wangjia Village sighed.

Seeing their worried looks, Li Lan chuckled.

"Grandpas, don't worry. Li Yan, Zhou Da, and I will stay here on Friday and Saturday. You can come to them if you need anything."

When they heard this, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Da Li, Uncle, Liu Fengyang, Chen Jie, the four of you keep an eye on the developments in the village. If you have any questions, please contact Zhou Wu or Li Yan immediately. If you have any questions..."

At this point, her eyes flashed, and she continued, "Just follow the plan we made earlier. You must remember the route clearly. If you can't remember it clearly, go find Master Arita."

Several people looked at each other, stood up, and said solemnly, "Yes, President."

"As everyone knows, fortune and misfortune go hand in hand. Although we have His Majesty at our side, sometimes distant water cannot quench a nearby fire, and we must save ourselves. Therefore, while I'm away, everyone must be on high alert, especially at the checkpoints. Tomorrow, Mr. Zhou will personally oversee them. Also, the guards of each village can begin patrolling."

The village heads also understood the seriousness of the matter and immediately nodded in approval.

……

Li family.

Mrs. Wang was packing clothes for the trip to Bian Jing, and Zhang, who was helping her to sort things out, sighed from time to time.

"What's wrong? What's going on? Why are you sighing?"

Zhang paused, frowned, and sighed, "Mother, aren't you accompanying the Fourth Child to Bianjing? I don't know why I feel so uneasy."

"What's there to worry about? Yuntian has been assigned by His Majesty to return to the capital to take up his post. With him around, what's there to be afraid of? Besides, given your daughter's personality, she's not one to suffer any setbacks. You, on the other hand, are just having trouble adapting to the sudden departure of several people from your family."

After hearing what Mrs. Wang said, she thought it made sense, so she breathed a sigh of relief and hurried to help pack things.

At this time, Li Lan, who had just returned from the conference room, was talking with Zhou Da, Li Yan and others in the living room of his home.

"Zhou Dalai is in charge of the security of the villages and the guards, with Zhou Wu and Saturday providing assistance. Li Yanlai is in charge of village affairs, with Li Zhong and Li Liang providing assistance. At the same time, everyone should pay close attention to the movements of the villages. If there are any developments, remember to gather and discuss them. If anything... be sure to let me know by letter."

Several people stood up, bowed and said, "Yes, ma'am."

"Yes, girl."

"Madam, Miss Xi..."

Seeing Zhou Da hesitate to speak, Li Lan paused, then smiled and said, "She wants to accompany me to Bianjing. Why? Can't bear to let her go?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the others were all shocked and looked at Zhou Da in disbelief. Li Yan even had a complicated look on his face.

Zhou Da opened his eyes, his ears turned red, and he stammered and couldn't say a word.

Seeing this, Li Lan burst into laughter. After a moment, he stood up and patted Zhou Da on the shoulder. He glanced at Li Yan and said with a smile, "Not only will she go, but An Yi will also go with me. We will be back soon."

Li Yan, Li Zhong, and Li Liang suddenly turned to look at Li Lan, their eyes wide open, their faces filled with shock.

Li Lan chuckled and jokingly said, "Why? You guys can't bear to part with An Yi either?"

A few people coughed awkwardly, and Li Yan quickly said, "I'm just curious, how did Madam know An Yi?"

"I guess he's just like you guys, obsessed with my charm and revealed his identity."

After saying that, he walked out of the hall with a smile.

After a while, bursts of laughter and playfulness were heard in the hall. Li Lan, who had just walked into the yard, looked back, smiled and shook his head.

Three bedrooms

"My husband, you will go to Bianjing with the eldest girl tomorrow. I want a daughter, so let's work harder, okay?"

Li Chunsheng paused while looking at the account book, then looked up at Chen's increasingly charming face. He put down the account book and walked over. He picked her up and said with a smile, "Since Madam wants it, there's no reason for me not to give it to you."

……

At dawn the next day, two carriages, low-key in appearance but luxurious in interior, drove out of Lijia Village.

After traveling all the way for half a month, they finally arrived at the gate of Bianjing City.

Zhou Qi, who had been waiting at the city gate for half an hour, was looking ahead when suddenly two carriages stopped beside him. Just as he was about to ask, a clear sound came from the first carriage.

"Zhou Qi."

Zhou Qi's eyes lit up and he immediately bent down and bowed.

"Madam, the young master has prepared the house."

"Okay, lead the way."

Fengyi Hall of the Imperial Palace.

"My lady, my lady."

Nanny Li hurried into the inner hall with a smile on her face.

"What makes you so happy? Is it possible?"

Seeing Chu Ci looking at her in shock, Nanny Li hurriedly said, "Yes, Your Majesty. His Highness and his entourage have already arrived in Bianjing and are now living in the house arranged for them by Lord Zhou."

Chu Ci frowned and asked doubtfully, "Master Zhou? Zhou Hanmin?"

"No, it's Zhou Yuntian, the son of Lord Zhou. Lord Zhou is currently serving as a minister in the Ministry of Rites and is also the newly engaged husband of Lady Renshan. It's said that His Majesty will personally grant them a marriage."

"Oh? That's a good thing. This way, if Rui'er becomes the crown prince, he'll have someone close and trusted in the court. Madam Li, go tell Liu Chun that I want to dine with His Majesty tonight."

When Madam Li heard this, a smile immediately spread across her face and she said, "Yes, Madam."

……

At this time in the Zhonghe Hall, Emperor Huide pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Liu Chun, what's the news today?"

"Your Majesty, Your Highness and the Duke have arrived in Bianjing today and are now living in the residence arranged by Lord Zhou."

Emperor Huide frowned slightly and said, "How can you live in the house arranged by Huai'an? If you want to live there, I have to arrange it. Go and pick a house in my private residence that has a good environment and is neither too big nor too luxurious, and give the key to Renshan. You haven't even married yet, so how can you live in the house arranged by that boy?"

Liu Chun lowered his head and smiled, then quickly said, "Yes, Your Majesty. I will go right away."

"and many more."

Liu Chun paused, glanced back at Emperor Huide, and seeing him frowning in deep thought, he bent down and waited. After a while, he heard Emperor Huide's deep voice.

"And send over a set of the Four Treasures of the Study, and some rare books as well."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

As Liu Chun reached the main hall entrance, he saw Nanny Li hurrying in. He immediately went up to her and asked, "Sister Li, what's the matter? Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Yes, Madam, I have asked this old servant to come and tell you, Master, that she will come to dine with His Majesty tonight."

Liu Chun was delighted and said quickly, "Okay, I'll go tell His Majesty right away."
