I rely on infrastructure systems to build a prosperous village

As the first rays of sunlight shone through the sky, Lijia Village became a scene of nationwide hard work, with everyone filled with enthusiasm and energy.

"Come and drink some water, you bastard."

Li Laizi looked at the person coming with a smile in his eyes, wiped the sweat from his forehead, put down the hoe in his hand, and walked over quickly.

"Wife, why are you here? Just let my daughters and the others deliver the water. You are pregnant now, so you need to rest well."

The woman came over, took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat off his face. She smiled and said softly, "I couldn't sleep, so I wanted to come see you."

As soon as these words were spoken, Li Laizi's smile bloomed like a firework.

"Okay, I have to get back to work. As for the road repair, everyone wants to level it today and pave it tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll go back first. I'll come back later to get you some food."

"Wife, that's not necessary. The village said that during this period of work, two meals a day will be provided by the village. Dad and Mom won't go back to eat, so you and your daughter can eat by yourselves."

"Good. Our village has been getting better and better since the establishment of the village committee, and everyone is working together. I see that Mrs. Hua and Widow Chen are working very hard."

"The main reason is that the village has a stabilizing force."

After these words were spoken, the two looked at each other and smiled.

The Dinghaishenzhen they mentioned was currently standing on a large piece of wasteland at the foot of the mountain north of the village with the village chief and others, measuring the land.

"Lan girl, did Xiaowu buy all these lands when he went to the county government office yesterday?"

Li Lan glanced around the wasteland. Seeing the vast expanse of green that had grown due to the abundant rain, he said cheerfully, "Yes, Village Chief. From now on, this area will be designated as the workshop area, and all workshops will be built here."

"Great! I never thought that I would be able to see such a beautiful Lijia Village in my lifetime. My life is worth it."

"So, the village chief must take good care of his health. Lijia Village will get better and better in the future."

At this time, Li Jianping and others came over.

"President, we've finished measuring it. It's 1300 acres in total."

"Okay. Yesterday I asked Li Yan to go to town and find a bricklayer who specializes in house construction, and then have him find his own crew to come over and build a workshop. Our crew will be used for road construction and house building. We'll build as many houses as we can, and of course it would be better if we can finish them all. But, Uncle Jianping, I have to remind everyone not to cut down entire plots of trees, otherwise it will be easy to slide if it rains."

"Okay, President."

"Uncle Li Feng, how much money do we have in our account now?"

Li Feng thought for a moment and said, "Excluding the money for building the school and buying bricks and tiles, we still have two in our account."

The others gasped when they heard this. The village chief stroked his goatee with pride, his eyes narrowing into crescents.

"Okay, during this period of work, we'll prepare better meals so everyone can have enough to eat."

"Hey, good."

Li Feng quickly agreed.

"Village Chief, I have to go to Chenjia Village. The bricklayer from town will be here soon. Give him these blueprints and have him build according to them. If you have any questions, talk to Li Yan."

"How many workshops are we going to build?"

The village chief opened the blueprint and was shocked to see two neat rows of houses facing each other.

"Build two first, and we'll work on the others later."

"well."

Before leaving, Li Lan handed a large cloth bag to Li Yan and instructed him, "Send this bag of things to Master Youtian. If the cable car can be built today, ask the men in the village to help build it."

"Yes, girl."

"Miss, does he want to go with us?" Li Xi leaned close to Li Lan and whispered.

Li Lan thought for a long time before he understood who Li Xi was talking about. He glanced at Zhou Da and understood. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he smiled and said, "Yes, Zhou Da, come with us."

As he said this, he raised his eyebrows and glanced at Zhou Da, then walked towards the backyard first.

Li Xi glared at Zhou Da, who was standing beside her, and snorted before quickly chasing after Li Lan. Zhou Da rubbed his nose uncomfortably, looking at the white figure with a smile on his face.

The Hall of Supreme Harmony in the Bianjing Imperial Palace.

Emperor Huide looked at his ministers, paused for a moment, and then said, "I understand your concerns, dear ministers, but the matter of appointing a crown prince is of grave importance and requires careful consideration."

A minister stepped out of the procession and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is the foundation of the country. An early appointment of a Crown Prince will benefit the stability of the country. I hope Your Majesty will make a decision soon."

Emperor Huide frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then said, "In that case, do you have any suitable candidates?"

The court erupted in discussion, with ministers expressing their opinions. An old minister stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Your Majesty, I believe the eldest prince is gifted and intelligent, and of good character, and is qualified to shoulder this important responsibility."

Another minister objected: "Although the eldest prince is excellent, the third prince is not bad either. Moreover, the selection of a crown prince should be based on virtue and behavior."

The ministers argued endlessly, and Emperor Huide raised his hand to signal for silence. "Let's put the matter of appointing a crown prince on hold for now. I will make a decision after careful consideration."

After saying that, he walked away.

Grand Tutor Zhuang Minghui looked at the back of Emperor Huide as he walked away with his sleeves turned away, his eyes dark and unclear.

Palace of Prince Ning of Shunan.

Qin Li hurried in from the outer courtyard.

"Your Majesty, let that man get away."

Prince Ning, who was sitting behind the desk, narrowed his eyes, sneered, and said in a deep voice, "If he's that easy to catch, then he's not Tuoba Ye. Keep investigating, especially their bases elsewhere. Once we find them, we'll wipe them out."

"Yes, Your Majesty. Your Majesty, there is one more thing."

Prince Ning looked at him, hesitant to speak, and said coldly, "Speak."

"The child from that year has been found."

As soon as these words came out, King Ning stood up excitedly, staring at Qin Li, and said nervously:

"Where is he?"

"He's in Lijia Village, An County, and he's the fourth uncle of Renshan Xiangjun."

"Okay, okay, okay. Send someone to secretly protect the child and keep an eye on my brother's men. My brother has placed many people around that girl to protect her."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

As soon as Qin Li left, King Ning seemed to have lost all his strength. He sat down on a chair and looked at the crabapple tree in the yard. His eyes were red as he murmured, "Chu Ci, I will slowly pay you back what I owe you."

Here, Li Lan and his companions arrived at Chenjia Village. Seeing the people diligently digging the road in the distance, Li Lan and Li Xi got off the carriage. Zhou Da drove the carriage directly to the old locust tree at the entrance of the village.

"Hey, Chen Shuan, I'm looking at you. What are you stopping for?"

Chen Shuan, who was about to wipe his sweat, said: ...

"Village chief, we've been working all morning and haven't even had a sip of water. This isn't the way you should treat oxen and horses."

Chen Wang said with a bitter face.

"Chen Wang, what do you mean? We've only been doing this for a short time. When it's time to drink water, I'll let you drink. Don't you want to stop? Fine, then I'll remember your name. When Lan comes, I'll..."

"Village chief, who said I don't want to do it anymore? Go ahead, you have to do it."

Chen Wang quickly interrupted Village Chief Chen and muttered in his heart: "This old man is crazy, I can't afford to offend him."

"Grandpa Chen."

Village chief Chen looked in the direction of the voice and saw Li Lan and others walking towards them. He immediately greeted them with a smile on his face.

"Girl Lan."

"Grandpa Chen, let everyone rest for a while, drink some water, and eat something."

"Okay." After saying that, he hurried over and shouted loudly for everyone to rest.

After a while, Village Chief Chen came back quickly.

"Grandpa Chen, I plan to build a food workshop in our village. From now on, our Chenjia Village will become famous for the food in the workshop."

"Really? Lan girl."

Li Lan looked at his excited expression, smiled and nodded, then continued:

"I'll find someone to build it in the next few days. Take me to see the land later. I want a wasteland with no houses around it."

"Okay, okay. Lan girl, and the person you asked me to look for yesterday, after thinking about it, I think he is the most suitable."

"Oh? Then please, Grandpa Chen, find him and I want to have a good chat with him."

"okay."
