I rely on infrastructure systems to build a prosperous village

An County.

As soon as Li Lan and the other two arrived in the county town, they headed straight for the guesthouse. When they reached the entrance, they saw the same young man from last time. Li Lan was pleasantly surprised and hurried forward.

"Brother, we've got some more game. The game on the ox cart was hunted yesterday. The shopkeeper told us to send more game over if we get more, so we've come straight here."

The young man looked at the neat and tidy girl in front of him, tall, with a high ponytail and wearing a simple light blue coarse cloth outfit, and was unable to react for a moment.

After hearing what Li Lan said, I remembered it.

"It's you. Our boss has been waiting for you for a long time. Let's go, let's follow the old rules and go to the backyard. I'll call the boss." The young man said with a smile, and turned around to call the boss.

Li Lan and Li Chunping were also familiar with the place and drove the ox cart towards the backyard.

As soon as I entered the yard, I saw Manager Zhang waiting in the backyard.

"Oh, you are here. What are you selling this time?" Shopkeeper Zhang asked excitedly.

Li Chunping removed the straw raincoat covering the wolf meat, and found dozens of wolves neatly placed on the ox cart.

"This, this, is this wolf meat?" Shopkeeper Zhang walked forward and said in surprise. It was the first time he saw so much wolf meat.

Li Lan smiled and said, "Yes, boss. Do you think we can take them all?"

"Yes, of course. We have an ice cellar in our reception building." Shopkeeper Zhang said proudly.

After hearing what Manager Zhang said, Li Chunping and Li Jianping were both very happy.

"Okay, boss, can you give me a price?" Li Lan's eyes flashed. It seemed that this reception building had a great background.

Shopkeeper Zhang thought for a moment and said, "We've worked together before, so don't worry, I'll give you a fair price. How about 35 wen per jin?"

Li Lan thought about it and felt that the price was indeed acceptable. After all, wolf meat was certainly not as expensive as wild boar meat. The main purpose was to eat something new and novel.

"Okay, I'll listen to you, boss. Then I'll have to ask you to find someone to help support the weight."

When Shopkeeper Zhang heard Li Lan's cheerful response, he immediately called for someone to weigh the wolves. Twenty-seven wolves weighed a total of 27 kilograms.

"This wolf is really big," Shopkeeper Zhang exclaimed, his smile never faltering.

After settling the bill, the men took the silver and drove away in their ox carts.

The smiles on Li Chunping and Li Jianping's faces never faded.

"Dad, Uncle Jianping, let's go to the county school. I want to see my fourth uncle."

"Okay, let's go now." Li Jianping now admired this girl Lan from the bottom of his heart. Of course, Li Lan didn't know that she had already gained a die-hard fan.

When they arrived at the gate of the county school, Li Jianping first went to find a place to feed the cows and then came back to pick them up.

Li Lan gave the boy guarding the door five coins and asked him to help call Li Chunhua. The boy, seeing the money, said yes happily and ran inside quickly.

After a while, the father and daughter who were waiting at the gate of the county school saw a man in a long robe walking towards them hurriedly.

"Second brother, eldest girl, you are here?" Li Chunhua shouted happily.

"Fourth Uncle." Li Lan was extremely happy to see Li Chunhua again.

"Old Four." Li Chunping called out with a smile.

"Fourth uncle, these are the clothes grandma asked me to bring you. Last time, I made some money from selling ginseng, so I bought some cloth and made a set of clothes for everyone in the family." As he said that, he handed a bundle to Li Chunhua.

Li Chunhua took the bundle and felt warm in her heart.

"Fourth Uncle, do you have enough money? When will you take a day off? I'll come to the county town to pick you up then."

Li Lan asked questions one after another like pouring beans.

Seeing Li Lan like this, Li Chunhua couldn't help but smile and said softly, "There's enough money. I still have a lot left from the money I was given last time. Zhongxia will be the end of the exam soon, so I won't go back yet. I'll go back early when the provincial exam is approaching."

Li Lan thought about it and agreed. It was already March, and there were only a few months left before the exam. Time was indeed tight. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Okay, Fourth Uncle, I'll pick you up when the time comes."

Li Chunhua looked at her expectant expression and could not bear to refuse, so she smiled and said "Okay."

"The county government has started distributing food to each village these days. Each household can receive 200 kilograms of brown rice and 100 kilograms of white rice. However, I haven't inquired about the specific details of the distribution."

Hearing Li Chunhua's words, Li Lan seemed to recall what he had heard the man say when he was eating noodles at the noodle stall in the county last time. However, there was a slight discrepancy. It seemed that the authenticity of the matter still depended on the official report.

"In this case, there will be more people in the village who need to separate their households." Li Lan said after thinking for a while.

Li Chunhua nodded. "Yes. But this is a good idea. Separating households can reduce many unnecessary conflicts in each large family. It can also make everyone work harder. After all, you have to work as much as your family eats. Whoever can come up with this idea is really talented."

Li Lan agreed that after the division of households, each family can arrange production and life according to its own needs and capabilities, avoiding the egalitarianism of the big pot.

Furthermore, the separation of households could also boost the rural economy. With more autonomy, villagers would work harder to cultivate the land, develop side businesses, and increase their income for their own families. The person who proposed the separation of households for grain distribution was truly a formidable figure.

After a while, Li Jianping came over in a ox cart.

Li Chunhua greeted Li Jianping, looked at the sky, and said goodbye to Li Chunhua and drove back to the village.

Li Jianping, driving an ox cart, said excitedly, "Just now, when I went to feed the oxen, I saw many villagers carrying grain out of the county government office. Later, I asked and found out that it was disaster relief grain distributed by the imperial court. They said that grain was distributed to towns and villages far away. Maybe our town will also receive grain in a few days."

"Well, I think our village will receive the notice in a few days." Li Lan said with a smile.

"That's great! Everyone has a way to survive. Our emperor must have mercy on the people."

Li Lan remained noncommittal.

Several people drove the ox cart and swayed out of the city.

On the other side, on a small road near Qingyuan Town.

"Young Master, please leave quickly." Zhou Qi shouted loudly.

A tall, slender man in a light-colored robe, with a handsome face, stood upright, holding a longsword, blood dripping from the tip. He was surrounded by ten black-clad men, all holding longswords, but his face showed no sign of panic or fear. This man was none other than the newly crowned top scholar, Zhou Yuntian.

Suddenly, his eyes flashed fiercely, and he swung his sword, his body moving nimbly between the ten men. His swordsmanship was sharp, and each strike was aimed directly at the black-clad men's vital points. But the black-clad men were no pushovers, and with the number of enemies outnumbering them, he was at a disadvantage, and was cut in the chest, blood gushing out.

Seeing Zhou Yuntian injured, Zhou Qi was extremely anxious and desperately killed several men in black in front of him. He immediately ran over to join the battle. The two of them fought for a while, some of them exhausted, and leaned back against each other, panting.

"Young Master, you go first. I have already notified the Royal Guards, they should be here soon." Zhou Qi whispered.

"Okay." Zhou Yuntian didn't hesitate, broke through a gap, and ran up the mountain. The remaining five men in black, seeing Zhou Yuntian trying to escape, wanted to chase him, but were blocked by Zhou Qi.

"Hey, isn't this the famous new top scholar Zhou Yuntian? Why is he so embarrassed?" A sarcastic voice came.

Zhou Yuntian, who had just run to the top of the mountain, heard the voices, sneered, and tightened the sword in his hand.

"I didn't even realize when I became so valuable? Even the Assassin's Gate's gold medal killer, Potian, was alarmed." After saying that, he straightened his robe with his other hand.

Potian, dressed in black, jumped down from the tree, holding his sword in both hands. He looked at Zhou Yuntian's calm expression, rolled his eyes, and sneered, "Are you really always like this, or are you deliberately putting on this look? I'm very curious."

"Then you will know if you try it."

After saying that, Zhou Yuntian went straight forward with a sword in hand. The two fought back and forth, and it was hard to tell who would win.

"I didn't expect Zhou Yuntian's martial arts to be so strong." Potian sighed inwardly.

After a while, Zhou Yuntian knelt on one knee with a sword in one hand, and blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.

"I'm already injured, and Potian's martial arts skills are not low. If I want to survive, this is the only way." He looked at the cliff in front of him on the right, stood up, wiped the blood with his hand, and suddenly smiled at Potian.

This smile made it feel like all things were about to revive in this year of disaster. It was truly magnificent. Potian was stunned, dazzled. "Holy crap, this is too beautiful."

A gust of wind blew, and Potian shook himself and woke up. When he looked again, Zhou Yuntian had reached the edge of the cliff and jumped down without hesitation.

"Young Master." Zhou Qi, who came with the imperial guards, happened to see this scene and shouted in grief.

"Fuck, he jumped on his own, it has nothing to do with me." Potian defended.

He was also startled by Zhou Yuntian's actions. He just wanted to tease him, curious about his constant expression. He hadn't expected him to be so easily teased. Who was Potian? The leader of the Assassin Sect. He could kill if he pleased, or not if he didn't. This man is truly unromantic, Potian thought to himself.

If Zhou Yuntian knew what he was thinking, he would definitely say, "Thank you, get lost."

When Zhou Qi heard Potian say this, his eyes looked at him like they were filled with poison, as if he was ready to fight him to the death. Potian saw that this was not right, made a face at Zhou Qi, and immediately turned and ran away, using his Qinggong to the extreme.

Zhou Qi watched Potian running away and said to the guards behind him with gritted teeth, "Go down the cliff and find the young master."

Here, Li Lan and the other two drove the ox cart onto the small road leading to Lijia Village when it got dark.

"Host, there is something abnormal 20 meters ahead." Xiaobao reminded.

Hearing Xiaobao's voice, Li Lan paused. "Do you know what it is?"

"I don't know. There's an unknown creature lying on the ground. Host, I can't accurately identify creatures other than plants and animals yet. Just one more level will do. Host, keep going!"

Li Lan rolled his eyes and asked Li Jianping to stop the ox cart.

"What's wrong, girl?" The two turned around and looked at Li Lan in confusion.

"Dad, you and Uncle Jianping stay on the ox cart. I'll go over and take a look." Li Lan took out his sleeve arrow and prepared to go over and check.

"No, you stay in the car, Dad will go and take a look." Li Chunping grabbed Li Lan and stopped her from going forward.

Li Jianping also advised: "Yes, Lan girl, you stay on the ox cart, I will go with your father."

"Dad, have you forgotten whose disciple I am? You and Uncle Jianping wait for me here." As he said that, he pulled Li Chunping's hand and walked quickly forward.

"My daughter... Ouch." Li Chunping stamped his feet and shouted anxiously. Li Jianan, who was standing beside him, looked at the direction Li Lan was going with a worried look on his face.

In the moonlight, Li Lan saw a motionless creature lying on the ground.

"This should be a person." He muttered.

Zhou Yuntian, who was still somewhat conscious while lying on the ground: "..."

"Fuck, it's indeed a person, and a man at that. Damn, I was led astray by Xiaobao's biology theory." Li Lan took the sleeve arrow, walked closer and took a look, and said in shock.

Zhou Yuntian: “…”

"Can you turn me over first? Lying on my stomach is really indecent." This was Zhou Yuntian's last wish before he fell into coma.
