I rely on infrastructure systems to build a prosperous village

Late at night, Lijia Village.

At this time, Li Lan, Friday, and Saturday were sitting in the main room.

"Who of you will speak first?"

"Let me do it, ma'am."

Frowning and thinking for a moment, Zhou Liu continued, "These days, at the first light of day, Zhou Liu and I lead the entire village in morning exercises. At first, some people complained, but after a few days of training, everyone gradually got used to it. Especially the men and children. After their daily morning exercises, they also follow Uncle Tianhu and the others to practice together. Now, they all say that they feel uncomfortable if they don't practice on a certain day. Especially Run, ma'am, he is really suitable for martial arts training."

Hearing his brother being praised, Li Lan was very happy and said:

"Since he likes it, I'd like to trouble you and Friday to help teach him well."

"Madam, I dare not."

The two of them quickly stood up, bowed, clasped their fists, and said respectfully.

Li Lan looked at their respectful expressions and quickly raised his hand with a smile to signal them to sit down.

"Okay, Friday."

"Madam, Mrs. Li seems to be looking for someone. Every time she goes out with the Madam, she chats with people in the village about family matters. The content of the conversation is to find out if anyone in the village has picked up a child before."

"Oh?"

After hearing his words, Li Lan couldn't help but frown. He thought about it, tapping the table with his fingers. After a while, he said, "Keep a close eye on her on Friday. If she does anything that endangers the villagers, deal with her directly."

At the end, his tone was cold.

"Yes, ma'am. Ma'am, the village chief has been wandering around several other villages these days. When he came back yesterday, he didn't look very good. I heard that he had an argument with the villagers in Chenjia Village. If Village Chief Chen hadn't intervened, they would have almost gotten into a fight."

"Tomorrow we'll go to the village chief and find out what's going on. Besides training the villagers and Uncle Tianhu's team, you two will monitor the village and Wangjia Village on Fridays. On Saturdays, you'll monitor Chenjia Village and Liujiawan, including any strangers. Three months from now, people will be arriving in Lijia Village, so we need to be prepared."

"Yes, ma'am."

"Why isn't there a checkpoint at the entrance of our village?"

Friday and Saturday looked at each other, and Friday said, "Madam, there are still too few people in our village who can read. Those who can read are all busy and can't spare any time."

After hearing this, Li Lan couldn't help but rub his brows, sighed, and whispered, "It seems that relying on Master Guangnian alone is not enough. Tomorrow I will ask my fourth uncle if he knows any scholars who need money. We can hire them and promote literacy for all the people."

Afraid the two didn't understand, Li Lan quickly explained, "It means everyone is starting to learn to read. No matter how much you can learn, knowing some is always good. That's the arrangement for now. You two go and rest. Zhou Da is here, and I guess you guys have something to say."

When the two heard this, they concealed their inner excitement and said in unison: "Yes, ma'am."

Back in his room, Li Lan lay on the kang and was about to fall asleep when Xiaobao's voice rang out.

"Host, the infrastructure system has officially been activated. The infrastructure of the four villages must be completed by the end of this year. Houses, roads, and factories must be opened."

"What? Before the end of the year? Xiaobao, even Zhou Baopi wouldn't tolerate you guys. There are four villages, and no one needs to sleep. You're working day and night."

"Host, the last time I went to a meeting, I was criticized. The Lord God System said our progress was too slow."

"Slow, this is still slow. I don't even need to make a living, I don't make any money. You think you're writing a novel? Three months later, four months later, click, click, click, it's all built, it's all built, I can sell anything and make money.

Besides, what kind of help did you offer me? If I hadn't been lucky enough to meet Zhou Yuntian shortly after arriving, I would have been burned to death or arrested by now, leaving nothing behind.

This is ancient times. I'm a poor peasant girl with no background. If I can do all this now, I'm lucky to be alive. Do you think the current emperor is a fool? He needs what I have, so he didn't ask about my background or touch me. Since ancient times, the hearts of emperors are unpredictable. He's already settled this account with me.

"Host, I know this mission is harder than any other, but the Lord God System promised me that as long as I complete this mission, he will help me upgrade comprehensively. From now on, I will be a special-grade system, the highest level. Host, Xiaobao really wants it, so please help me."

Li Lan: So your main god system treats me like a beast of burden.

There was a long silence.

"Xiaobao, how can you help me?"

"Host, I can help you get money."

"Oh? What's going on?"

"Host, how about I provide you with the drawings for free?" Xiaobao said proudly.

Upon hearing this, Li Lan laughed angrily and gritted his teeth, "So all the merit points I spent before were wasted."

"Hehehe... Host, I remembered that the main god system asked me to go to a meeting. Now the time is up, I will get off the machine first. You should get some rest early. Bye."

"Xiaobao, Xiaobao..."

……

Damn system, Li Lan cursed in his heart.

Li Lan, lying on the kang, couldn't sleep. He thought to himself: How can we complete so much before the end of the year? There's not enough money, and there may not be enough people. This cement... I don't dare to take it out anymore. I wonder if the emperor has developed it yet. Sigh...

Thinking of this, Li Lan angrily pulled the quilt to cover his head and kicked his feet randomly on the kang.

At this time, a voice called out from outside the courtyard: "Lan girl, Lan girl."

Upon hearing this, Li Lan quickly stood up and walked out. Seeing the anxious faces of Li Jianping and Mrs. Qiu, she was startled and walked over.

"What's going on? Uncle Jianping, Grandma Qiu."

"Girl Lan, my father, Jian'an, and a few other men in the village, haven't returned to the village yet?"

"What? Where have you been today?"

"We went to Chenjia Village. Yesterday, Dad had an argument with someone in Chenjia Village about the water truck, and it almost came to a fight. Later, Village Chief Chen scolded the people in Chenjia Village, and the matter was quickly settled.

Today, Dad thought that if we couldn't reach an agreement, he would pull the water truck back, so he took a few men from the village to Chenjia Village early in the morning. We were worried, so we asked Jianan to go with them. But unexpectedly, it was already late at night and no one had returned.

"Because of what? Do you know?"

"That old man is just being stubborn. Aren't there a few water wheels that Youtian has already built? He first took them to Liujiawan to test them out, and they worked. Now, the village chiefs of Wangjia Village and Chenjia Village have come to ask for help. The old man thought about how many more he had left, and also thought about asking him to guide a few villages before you leave, so he nodded and agreed.

At the beginning, Wangjia Village was fine. The villagers cooperated in digging the canal and did not care whose house the water passed through first.

But when they arrived at Chenjia Village, they started arguing about whose house the water should reach first and then whose. The old man couldn't stand it anymore and told them to do as he said. If they didn't, he wouldn't let them load the water on the truck. The villagers got angry and said the old man wasn't the village chief, so why should he care so much? They also said that the water truck was now in their village, and anyone who dared to take it away would have their legs broken.

I thought you were coming back in the next two days, right? I asked him to wait a little longer, but he refused to listen and insisted on going. I can’t explain why you’re coming back.”

After saying this, Mrs. Qiu started to cry. Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Zhang saw this and quickly helped her up.

Li Lan sneered, thinking: Why do people always want to jump on my head? Do you like jumping so much? Then I'll let you jump to your heart's content.

"Zhou Da, Friday, Saturday, get in the carriage and go."

They looked at each other and thought: Someone is going to be unlucky. They quickly said in unison: "Yes."

"Girl, I want to go too. If they dare not obey, I, hehehe..."

After saying this in a cold voice, Li Xi glanced at Zhou Da.

Zhou Da: ...

"Brother, what's wrong with you? Are you cold?"

Zhou Da looked at Zhou Liu deeply and thought to himself: You don't understand, brother. There is a kind of fear that has penetrated deep into the bone marrow.

"Okay, you and Li Yan go together."

As they spoke, the group quickly walked towards the carriage in the backyard. At this moment, anxious footsteps were heard from behind.

"Xiao Lan, I'm with you too."

Following the voice, Li Lan turned around to look at the person who came, his eyes flashed, and he said hello.

Zhou Da, who was standing aside, frowned as he looked at the figures of Li Chunhua and Li Lan standing side by side in front of him.

"Brother, what's wrong? Why are you so worried when you meet me this time?"

Saturday frowned and whispered in confusion. Friday beside him also agreed.

"You don't understand." After saying that, he looked at the two of them with disdain and walked away arrogantly.

Friday: ...

Saturday:……

What they didn't know at this time was that Mrs. Li was in the yard, watching their receding backs, without moving for a long time.
