I rely on infrastructure systems to build a prosperous village

In the county government office.

The village chief had originally thought that processing the land application and getting it approved would take at least two or three days. Unexpectedly, all the paperwork was complete in less than half an hour. When he left, the legal advisor personally escorted him out of the county government office.

"Village Chief, you have been staring at me for a long time."

The village chief, who was caught red-handed by Friday, touched his nose awkwardly and said with a smile, "Friday, have you married yet?"

"No, I never thought of getting married, Village Chief."

"Then you can think about it now. Having a wife is great. Really."

"Oh? Really? Then if there's something suitable, we can try it."

"If you don't find anyone suitable, let me find a few for you."

"Okay, village chief. Get in the car quickly. Let's hurry back while it's still early."

What Wu Wu didn't know was that because of the village chief's proposal today, after they get married, he would not think about how good his wife was, but how good his wife was because she married him. He was so sad that he couldn't even cry. But that was all for later.

On the other side, Li Lan returned home, looked at the busy crowd, thought for a moment, and then shouted:

"On Saturday, go to the village chief's house and borrow the ox cart. Let's go to town together."

"Yes, ma'am."

"Li Yan, you should go too."

"Okay, girl."

An hour later, Li Yan drove an ox cart into Qingyuan Town.

"Let's go to the market first. I'll buy some lard and some meat. I've been eating wild boar every day and it's tasted bad."

"Okay, girl."

Zhou Liu, who was sitting next to me, was so happy when he heard that there would be meat to eat tonight.

The three of them went to the market and bought some spare ribs, pork belly, and pork fat. Then they stopped by a clothing store and bought a suit of clothes and a pair of shoes for the two of them, as well as for Zhou Wu, Li Zhong, and Li Liang. Finally, they went to the study and bought a brush, some paper, an inkstone, and two enlightenment books for Li Hang and Li Run. After their shopping, the three of them drove off in their ox cart, amid Li Lan's grumbling and cursing.

"This is too expensive! No wonder ordinary people have to work hard to support a scholar. This little thing cost me 70 taels."

"Ma'am, this is still a bargain."

"Yes, if we can make cheap paper, wouldn't ordinary people be able to go to school?"

At this point, Li Lan couldn't help but shake her head and chuckle. When had her mind become so simple? Perhaps it was because of her comfortable life now. Thinking back to her past life, the fierce scene of the director election was really like a palace drama. Although she won in the end, it was a narrow victory.

Now she's naively thinking about making her own paper. What happens after she makes it? Will she become a target, waiting for people to shoot at her? The sky is high and the emperor is far away. It's easy to kill someone. Although she's not afraid of death, what about the whole village? But...

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but smile and her eyes lit up.

"Girl, this method sounds very good, but for ordinary people to make paper, but..."

Li Yan didn't say the last words. But Li Lan understood what he meant. He smiled and said, "But it's like a fish on a chopping board, at the mercy of others."

After saying this, Li Yan looked at her deeply and said with a smile: "Miss, what you said is very clear."

In this way, the three of them drove the ox cart and chatted. Suddenly, when they reached a fork in the road, they were waved to stop by a burly man with a beard.

"Brother, please stop for a moment. I want to ask you something."

Li Yan looked at Li Lan and saw her nod, so he said, "You go ahead."

"It's like this. Our master found his long-lost relatives and was planning to go see them today. Unexpectedly, we came to this fork in the road and didn't know which way to go."

"Oh? Where are you going?"

"Let's go to Lijia Village."

After these words were spoken, the three exchanged glances, feeling wary. Li Lan looked at the carriage parked on the side of the road. It was low-key yet luxurious, not something an ordinary family could afford. The person in the carriage must be extraordinary.

"This is the road to Lijia Village." Li Lan pointed to a road on the left.

The man glanced at Li Lan, then looked in the direction of her finger, frowning with some suspicion.

"Brother, look, I told him, but this uncle still doesn't believe me. Forget it, brother, let's go home quickly, mother is still waiting for our meat."

"Okay, let's go now."

When the man saw them leaving, he said anxiously, "Brother, it's not that I don't trust you, I'm just afraid we'll get the wrong way and be blamed by the host. It's getting late, and if we get the wrong way again, we won't even have a place to stay."

"The path my sister pointed out to you is correct. Believe it or not."

As Li Yan said this, he drove the ox cart away.

"Chen San."

The man heard someone in the carriage calling him and hurried to the carriage.

"Uncle."

"Catch up with them after half a cup of tea."

"Uncle, but..."

"Do as I say."

……

Li Lan and his group here were driving the ox cart forward quickly.

"Girl, how do we go now?"

"Go straight to Liujiawan and drive the ox cart to Village Chief Liu's house."

"Okay, girl."

After a while.

"Madam, the carriage has indeed caught up."

Friday, who caught up, said excitedly with shining eyes.

"it is good."

As the oxcart entered Liujiawan, smoke rose from every household, and the aroma of rice filled the air. Suddenly, a loud "gurgling" sound broke the silence of the three people.

Li Lan: …

Zhou Liu, who was sitting next to him, had a red face and wanted to laugh but didn't dare to.

"Laugh if you want to, don't hold it in."

"Hahahahahaha..."

Listening to Zhou Liu's loud laughter, Li Yan shook his head helplessly and thought to himself: Don't mess with girls, no matter who you mess with.

Li Lan: …

"Saturday, I thought about it and just borrowed money from you to buy something. I'll just ask your son to give it to you directly."

"No, ma'am, I'm not laughing at you. I'm laughing at myself. The sound just now came from my stomach, not ma'am."

Li Lan: …

Li Yan:......

Li Lan glanced at Zhou Liu with disdain, thinking: Why not talk to Zhou Yuntian and get someone else? His IQ is really frustrating.

Seeing that Li Lan didn't say anything and even looked at him with disgust, Zhou Liu was extremely anxious and cried out aggrievedly, "Madam." He thought to himself: What if the young master pretends to be stupid, or really can't remember it by then? How could he have the courage to ask the young master for money?

……

"Miss Lan, she's here." Mrs. Qian, who was tidying up in the yard, shouted happily when she saw Li Lan and others.

"Grandma Qian, I guess we'll have to park the ox cart in our yard overnight."

"Oh, that's nothing. Let alone just one night, we can stop for several nights."

"Girl Lan."

"Miss Li."

"Sister Lan."

Village chief Liu and several of his sons, daughters-in-law, and grandchildren all came out.

"Grandpa Liu, my brothers, my sisters-in-law, and you all, hello."

Li Lan greeted several people.

"Where are you from?"

"Grandpa Liu, we came from the town. We encountered an accident on the way, so we took a detour. I thought we'd leave the ox cart with you for the night and go back from the back mountain."

"You can go back around. It's not far. In fact, it's much closer than taking the main road."

"That's right. Grandpa Liu, it's getting late, and we have to hurry back. We can talk about it in detail someday, and then I'll give you a big surprise."

When Village Chief Liu heard this, he was delighted and said excitedly, "Okay, I'll wait for you at home."

……

Meanwhile, Chen San drove his carriage into Liujiawan. At that moment, the only sounds in Liujiawan were the barking of dogs and the chewing of food. Chen San, who had wanted to inquire about the situation, couldn't find anyone.

After waiting at the village entrance for half an hour, Chen San saw an old man taking a walk. He immediately walked up to him and asked, "Uncle, I want to ask you something. Is there a family named Li Youtian in our Lijia Village?"

The old man was stunned at first, then said inexplicably: "What Lijia Village? We are Liujiawan."

After hearing his words, Chen San stood there in a daze, forgetting to react for a moment.
