I rely on infrastructure systems to build a prosperous village

Before dawn in the morning, Li Lan was woken up by Zhang, who said that everyone was busy getting water in the fields and there was no ox cart to go to the town. It would take two hours to walk from Lijia Village to the town.

"Shit, two hours later, is it too late for me to regret now?" Li Lan, who had been yawning non-stop, suddenly woke up. Looking down at the pair of thin cloth shoes on his feet, Li Lan felt like crying.

The uncle and nephew had a simple breakfast, packed some black flour steamed buns and went out.

It took about an hour to walk.

"Fourth Uncle, why don't we take a break? The soles of my shoes are thin and my feet hurt a lot from walking." Li Lan said while limping and grinning.

Li Chunhua watched Li Lan's gait and the expression on his face, and a pang of pain welled up in her heart. She knew his shoes were thin. Besides him, who had two pairs of shoes with thicker soles and uppers, everyone else's shoes had thin soles and single-layer uppers, the same for all seasons. She vowed to herself to work hard to ensure everyone had enough food and clothing.

"Okay, Xiaolan. Let's rest for a while before we go." Li Chunhua came over, eyes full of heartache, and reached out to touch Li Lan's head.

"I'll hide." Li Lan turned his head and dodged.

"Fourth Uncle, I told you not to touch my head anymore. I'm already grown up. Patting the head will make you grow shorter, and I'm in the prime of my growth."

"What kind of nonsense is this." Li Chunhua's eyes darkened, and then he chuckled.

Li Lan snorted proudly and didn't reply. He sat down on the rocks by the roadside. He wanted to take off his shoes to see if his soles were worn out, but thinking of his fourth uncle, he held back. He cried silently in his heart: "Alas, the evil feudal society."

After resting for a while, Li Lan stood up.

"Uncle Si, let's go. I'm done with my rest."

"Okay, let's go. We'll reach the official road in another half hour, and then we'll reach the town in another half hour along the official road." Li Chunhua shook the gray robe he had put on today and said.

"Okay, Fourth Uncle, I got it. Let's go." Li Lan took the lead and walked forward.

Li Chunhua looked at her back, smiled, shook his head, and followed her.

Once on the official road, it was smoother and wider than the previous one, wide enough for two carriages. Due to the disaster, there were very few people on the road, and even fewer oxcarts.

"Da da da..." The sound of horse hooves came from far away, and the speed was not slow.

Li Chunhua hurriedly pulled Li Lan toward the roadside. A short while later, a simple horse-drawn carriage arrived, followed by several horse-drawn carts. These carts were piled high with large sacks, secured with hemp ropes. All of the sacks were bulging. On either side of the carts were about fifty men, all wearing serious black uniforms and swords, riding horses. A group of them rode by, kicking up a cloud of dust.

"Bah, bah, bah... Damn, it's all dirt. You bastards, do you have any sense of public morality?" Li Lan, with a mouthful of dirt, jumped up, put one hand on his waist, pointed to the front with the other, and shouted at the people and horses that had gone away.

At this time, the curtain of the carriage was lifted by a pair of slender, bony hands. It was a young man. He looked back and could see a figure jumping up and down in the distance. Judging from the figure and clothes, it looked like a woman.

"How could there be such a lively woman in this world?" He sneered and lowered the curtain.

"Zhou Qi, how long will it take to get to An County?" A low, magnetic voice came from the carriage.

"Sir, after passing Qingyuan Town ahead, we will reach An County in about three hours." The young man driving the carriage said respectfully.

"Okay, speed up." The low and magnetic voice sounded again.

"Yes, sir. Go ahead." After the young man said that, he drove the carriage forward quickly.

Here, Li Lan and Li Chunhua arrived at the foot of the city wall half an hour later. Li Lan looked up and saw the words "Qingyuan Town" engraved above the city gate. He couldn't wait to walk into the town.

"The town is far less lively than before." Li Chunhua sighed as he looked at the scene in front of him.

Li Lan looked at the few stalls lining the street, the scattered shops with their doors open, and the few passersby. It seemed a bit desolate. But that didn't stop her from being curious. She looked from stall to stall, sometimes showing shock, sometimes frowning, and sometimes giving a thumbs-up to the stall owner...

Li Chunhua looked at her and couldn't help laughing out loud.

Passing by a wonton stall, the uncle and nephew suddenly stopped.

"Hey, have you heard? The court collected grain some time ago and sent people to distribute it to us. I heard that the person sent is our dynasty's 18-year-old new top scholar, the genius Zhou Yuntian." The man glanced to the side and whispered to the people eating wontons at the table.

"Really? I haven't heard of it." One person put down the spoon and said.

"Really? My sister-in-law's eldest brother's cousin's nephew is in the capital. The news has spread all over the capital." The man said again.

"That's fine. With the food being distributed, everyone can carry the load again."

"Yeah yeah."

……

Li Lan was listening with great interest. Li Chunhua patted her and said, "Xiao Lan, Xiao Lan, come with me to visit the teacher first, and then we will go buy food."

"Okay, Fourth Uncle."

"It seems that the people in our three states can bear it for a while longer." Li Chunping sighed.

After visiting the master, Li Lan came out. He secretly glanced at Li Chunping and saw that his face was the same as usual, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Thinking of the conversation between Master Yu and Li Chunhua just now, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Alas, Fourth Uncle is indeed a good student. Master Yu can't teach him now. Let him take the recommendation letter he gave to the county school. With his ability, he will study for a year and have no problem getting a good result next year. But this disaster year... Alas, money is a bastard in every era. The worse it is, the more it is loved. But it was even worse in ancient times."

"Fourth Uncle, you should go to the county school. You don't have to worry about the money."

"It's okay, let's talk about it after the disaster year is over." Li Chunhua said indifferently.

"Uncle Si, don't you want us to live a good life? Look at the clothes and shoes we wear. I can't even have enough to eat. Uncle Si, how about this, if I pay for your schooling this month, you can go? "

"Xiao Lan..." Li Chunhua looked at her with complicated eyes, not knowing what to say.

"Fourth uncle, don't forget that I have the guidance of an immortal." Li Lan nudged Li Chunhua with his elbow, blinked at him, and said playfully.

"it is good."

Li Chunhua looked at her deeply and then walked forward on his own.

Li Lan's eyes reddened when she saw his clenched fists hanging by his side and his slightly unsteady steps.

It was already evening when the uncle and nephew arrived home.

After dinner, Mrs. Wang said to the two of them, "The villagers brought a lot of gifts to our house, saying they wanted to thank you two. They said that if you hadn't found the water source and dug the well, everyone would have had to flee far from home."

After hearing this, the uncle and nephew looked at each other and said nothing.

Mrs. Wang sighed and continued, "Alas, in this year of disaster, they don't even have enough to eat, yet they give it to us. I asked them to take it back, but they refused."

"Mom, since it's the kindness of the villagers, let's accept it first." Li Chunhua smiled and said.

Mrs. Wang didn't hesitate and nodded.

After hearing this, Li Lan sighed inwardly: "The atmosphere in this village is still very good. Her efforts are worth it."

Li Lan, lying on the kang, sighed, "Alas, there wasn't much entertainment in ancient times. I just lay down after eating. But think about it, if I don't eat enough, I'll only get hungrier if I continue to expend energy."

"Xiaobao, Xiaobao, call Xiaobao."

"Here I am, host. Your dear little treasure is online."

"Xiaobao, do you have any martial arts secret manuals?"

"No, host. This is an infrastructure system. We must be steady and reliable. We cannot take shortcuts."

Li Lan couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"Xiaobao, I'm going to go hunting in the mountains. You have to give me some means to survive. Otherwise, if I die, won't you have to find someone else? We are one, Xiaobao."

Xiaobao: I don’t want to talk.

"Xiaobao, don't I still have two things to choose from?"

Li Lan was speechless. "Damn, I forgot. What a waste of words."

"Okay, host. I'll give you a small repeating crossbow and instructions for using it, along with twelve iron arrows. This crossbow can fire six arrows at once."

"Okay, deal."

Li Lan saw the exquisite small crossbow in the storage room and liked it very much. He thought about finding a secret place to study it carefully tomorrow.

"Xiaobao, do you have any pills that can make my body more flexible?"

"Host, this is the last thing."

Li Lan couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"Okay, give it to me."

A thumb-sized black pill suddenly appeared in his hand. Without thinking, Li Lan put it in his mouth and started chewing.

"Fuck, ugh, ugh, this is too disgusting."
