I rely on infrastructure systems to build a prosperous village

At the end of the meeting, when Li Lan said goodbye to the village chief, he suddenly pulled him aside and the two whispered something. The village chief's eyes were filled with fear and confusion, then became solemn, and then he nodded carefully.

……

As soon as Li Lan entered the yard, Li Run ran over.

"Sister, my martial arts have improved again. Brother Zhou Liu praised me today."

Looking at his younger brother's smug look, Li Lan smiled and rubbed his little head, saying, "Not bad, but we must continue to persevere."

"Okay, sister. Sister, can I not go to Master Li's place right now?"

"Oh? Why is that?"

"I, I want to learn martial arts well."

He lowered his head and whispered, taking advantage of Li Lan's confusion, he secretly looked up at her, and when he saw her looking at him, he immediately lowered his head again.

Li Lan couldn't help but smile, squatted down, looked into his eyes and said: "Little brother, tell me. What kind of person do you want to be in the future?

After hearing Li Lan's words, Li Run frowned and lowered his head in thought. After a moment, his eyes lit up, and he raised his head. In a loud and clear voice, he excitedly said, "Sister, I want to be like my brother-in-law in the future. My brother Zhou Liu said that my brother-in-law is amazing and the smartest person in the Great Qin Dynasty."

Li Lan: You are ambitious.

"Since you want to be like your brother-in-law, you have to study even harder. You can also ask Zhou Liu's brothers how hard your brother-in-law studied when he was young to become what he is today. My dear brother, going to school is not only to teach you to read more words, but more importantly, it is to help you understand things and distinguish right from wrong when you grow up."

Li Run looked at Li Lan, looked at her slightly serious face, his eyes became firm, and he nodded heavily.

At this time, Li Chunhua walked out of the house with his hands behind his back. When he heard Li Run's call, his eyes suddenly darkened and then he smiled, but there was sadness hidden in his eyes.

"Xiaolan, Wulang."

"Fourth uncle."

"Fourth uncle."

Li Lan stood up and shouted with a smile. He patted Li Run on the head and told him to go play.

"Fourth Uncle, you came at the right time. I was just about to tell you something."

"What does Xiaolan want to tell me?"

"Fourth Uncle, do you know any students who are well-educated but short of money? When you came here, you saw that our village is building a school. We only have one old scholar, Grandpa Li, so it's definitely not enough."

After hearing her words, Li Chunhua frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "I once had two classmates. Both were children of ordinary families. Although they were only students, they were well-educated and could teach children. However, due to several years of drought, their families were in financial difficulty, so they stopped attending school."

Li Lan's eyes lit up, and he said quickly, "Then please, Fourth Uncle, write them a letter. Anyone willing to become a teacher will receive 500 wen per month, including food and accommodation. How do you think?"

"can."

"Okay, I'll leave it to Fourth Uncle then."

Just as she was about to turn and leave, Li Chunhua quickly called out to her, "Xiao Lan, did Mrs. Li check He's background when she came here?"

"Why do you ask, Fourth Uncle?"

"I always feel that she is too attentive to me."

"Maybe it's your illusion, Fourth Uncle. Mrs. Li has to take care of everyone in our family. She treats everyone the same."

"is it?"

Seeing that he was confused, Li Lan's eyes flashed and he said seriously: "Yes, Fourth Uncle. Fourth Uncle, now, you should study hard. In another month, you will be finished. Don't worry about other things. I will take care of everything."

Hearing her last few words, Li Chunhua smiled, the corners of her mouth turned up, and her gentle face was full of tenderness.

……

Seeing Li Chunhua turn around and go into the house, Li Lan's smiling eyes suddenly sank, and he turned and went to the open space at the end of the village, which is now the village training ground.

Bozhou Prefecture Government Office.

"A top assassin from the assassin sect is sitting on the roof of the government office in broad daylight. Does he have some shameful habit?"

"Hey, little Tiantian, when did you become so talkative?"

As he said that, he flew down from the roof.

He glanced at Potian, who had landed steadily in the courtyard, wearing a half-bronze mask, holding a sword across his chest, and looking nonchalant. Zhou Yuntian, who was sitting at the stone table in the courtyard, sipped his tea and continued playing chess.

"Oh, no, little Tiantian, are you still mad at me? I was just teasing you last time, but I didn't expect you to be so easily fooled. You even jumped off a cliff, and you don't know. Fortunately, you're okay, otherwise I'd be finished."

As he said this, he sat down on the stone bench, poured himself a cup of tea and started drinking.

"But you have to thank me. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have met Renshan Xiangjun. Tell me, how do you want to thank me?"

Potian put down the teacup in his hand, stared at Zhou Yuntian with his eyes, and a wicked smile appeared on his lips.

After a long while, seeing that Zhou Yuntian still had no expression on his face and was playing chess by himself, the corners of his mouth twitched and he said with disdain: "Tsk tsk tsk, I don't know what the Renshan Township Lord sees in you. Apart from your good looks, your personality is really boring."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Yuntian paused slightly as he was about to put down the chess piece, then slowly lowered it. He raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice:

"It's good for her to know how good I am. How could a man like you who has never had a woman understand the relationship between her and me?"

"You... who said I haven't had it before? What kind of woman haven't I wanted in Potian? Humph."

"Oh? I know that His Majesty forbids people like you from the Anbu from getting married and having children."

After hearing this, the originally furious Potian paused, his pupils shrank, and he looked deeply at the handsome man across from him who was still playing chess by himself, and said in a deep voice: "When did you find out?"

“The time I got hurt.”

"Oh, it seems that jumping off the cliff was the right decision. Not only did I find a wife, but I also got my brain hurt even more. Little Tiantian, you really have to thank me. Now that I'm gone, you must give me back my money with interest next time."

After saying that, he flew away.

At this time, Zhou Yuntian raised his head and looked in the direction where Potian left, his eyes dark and unclear.

"Zhou Qi, we will set off for Lijia Village in five days."

"Yes, son."

Lijia Village.

The open space at the end of the village had changed dramatically. Two large wooden boards stood in the middle of one side of the vacant lot. One was dedicated to village announcements and job postings, while the other, painted black by Li Lan, would later be used for bulletin boards. On the other side, a platform, ten feet long, three feet wide, and two feet high, was built for speeches during meetings.

The training ground was also very lively at this time.

"Brother, come on."

“Come on, brother.”

"Li Xi, come on."

"Sister Xi, come on."

……

Li Lan walked to the back of the crowd and looked at the two people sparring in the middle. She couldn't help but smile. Soon, a burst of cheers rang out.

"Sister Xi, I told you that you would definitely win."

"Li Xi, you are so amazing! I wonder who will dare to say that women are inferior to men in the future."

"Next time, if anyone dares to say that, don't blame me for using my fist."

Li Xi raised his fist, shook it, and said viciously.

Zhou Da, lying on the ground, blushed. He blinked and looked at his hands, a little stunned. Suddenly, a magnified face full of confusion appeared. He was so scared that he immediately put down his hands, stood up, and shouted, "Saturday, what are you doing? You scared me."

Saturday:……

Everyone looked at him in confusion. Zhou Da coughed lightly, stole a glance at Li Xi, and said as if nothing had happened, "I admit defeat."

Saying that, he was about to leave.

"Zhou Da."

Hearing the familiar voice, Zhou Dagang paused and looked in the direction of the voice, thinking to himself: It's the Madam. How long has she been here? Has she seen me? What should I do? Will she think I'm taking advantage of her?

Seeing that he didn't respond for a long time, Li Lan stepped forward, patted his shoulder, and said with a smile: "What are you thinking about?"

"Ma'am, I..."

"Didn't you just accidentally touch Li Xi's chest during the sparring? How can there be no physical contact in sparring? Don't feel burdened, and Li Xi won't hold it against you for such a small matter."

Zhou Da, who was enlightened by Li Lan's words, suddenly felt a buzzing in his head. He turned his head stiffly and looked around. Except for Friday and Saturday who were looking at him with shining eyes, everyone else had left. He immediately felt relieved and thought to himself: Madam is too straightforward.

"On Friday, write to your son and ask him to check on Mrs. Li."

"Yes, ma'am."

"Saturday, from tomorrow onwards, you will temporarily stay with the Fourth Master."

"Yes, ma'am."

"The village has started construction today. I'll be very busy from now on. You must help me take care of the house."

"Yes, ma'am."

In a remote house in An County.

"Master, several forces are looking for the body of the child we killed that year."

"Oh? Do you know which forces they are?"

"I don't know. The traces were wiped clean."

"Heh. Send a message to Bian Jing, and have them speed up. The crown prince should be appointed."

"Yes, master."

Looking at the crabapple tree in the courtyard outside the house, the middle-aged man sitting behind the desk sneered and said contemptuously: "Qin Zhao, you are really a waste. If you want to atone for your sins, you have to see if I allow it."
