I rely on infrastructure systems to build a prosperous village

At dawn the next day, the group of people who had been called to Lijia Village arrived. Meanwhile, Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Zhang were fiddling with the soap they had dried in the courtyard. Suddenly, they heard footsteps and looked out.

"Silver boy, why are you here? Come in quickly."

Mrs. Wang was surprised, wiped her hands on her apron, and hurried forward.

"Aunt, it was the president who asked us to come here."

When Mrs. Wang heard this, she understood.

"Come on, go sit in the main room for a while, the girl will be done with washing up soon."

"Okay, Auntie."

"Little brother."

"Second sister-in-law."

At this time, Li Chunhua also walked out of the house.

"Wang Yin."

"Hey, Huazi, you're back."

She said with a smile, then walked over, put her arm around his shoulders, leaned close to his ear, and whispered, "I found the thing you asked me to find for you before. Which young lady are you going to give it to?"

After saying that, he winked.

"Did you bring it?"

"I brought it. Should I give it to you now?"

Li Chunhua took a deep look at Li Lanwu, smiled warmly and said, "Okay, give it to me."

After a while, Wang Yin took out a one-foot-long wooden box from his arms and handed it to him.

"It took me a long time to find this thing. Then I had to air-dry it, and then hang it upside down... It took me a long time to finally get it right. It seems like you really like this, young lady."

Looking at the two people whispering in the yard, Mrs. Wang shouted:

"Silver boy, come in, the big girl is here."

"Okay, here I come, auntie."

"I'll go first. The president wants to talk to us today."

As he said this, he turned around and was about to leave when Li Chunhua called him.

"Wang Yin, keep it a secret for me."

After hearing what he said, Wang Yin turned around, winked, and said with a smile: "I understand."

Inside the main hall, Li Lan waited for Wang Yin to sit down and said with a smile, "Is this the first time you all meet? Then please introduce yourselves."

After several people were introduced one by one, Li Lan looked at the people in front of him who became friends in a short while, with smiles in his eyes.

"Okay, before we talk about this, I want to ask everyone a question. Why? Because this matter is very important. It's important to you and me, and to every village."

After Li Lan finished speaking, he stared at the few people closely. His face, which was originally full of smiles, was now full of seriousness and solemnity.

"President, ask. As long as it's for the village, we are not afraid."

Li Dali said with determination in his eyes.

The others looked at each other and nodded firmly.

"Okay, my question is: if you were asked to do something for the sake of your village and your loved ones that would be very hard, dangerous, or even life-threatening, would you still be willing to do it?"

After these words were spoken, there was a brief silence. Wang Yin looked at Li Lan and said in a deep voice, "President, I do."

"President, we are willing too."

"Liu Fengyang, do you want to reconsider? You're already married and have children."

After hearing Li Lan's words, Liu Fengyang smiled brightly and said, "President, I married and had children. Now, in addition to providing them with food and clothing, I must also protect them. But isn't what I'm about to do now my original intention? Don't worry about it, President."

Li Lan looked at him deeply, his heart full of admiration. This kind of man is a real man.

"Okay, okay. What I'm about to say and what I'm asking you to do must not be known to anyone other than us, including your family. Understand."

Several people looked at each other, realized the seriousness of the matter, and nodded heavily.

"Next, you will find a secluded place near your village that can accommodate everyone in it. Set up traps around it, and then put enough food inside to last the entire village for six months. This place is only known to you and me. Do you understand?"

After hearing her words, they were stunned for a moment, then they immediately reacted and nodded cautiously.

"Once you've found a good place, let me know and I'll go take a look. I'll be working on you guys for the time being. Don't worry about the village affairs for now. I'll talk to the village chiefs."

"Okay, President."

When the few people were leaving, Li Lan stuffed a banknote into one of them and asked them to watch over the stored grain, and reminded them to be careful and not to let anyone get suspicious.

"Host, aren't you being a bit too pessimistic by doing this? Besides, if something really happens, don't we still have Zhou Yuntian?"

Standing outside the yard and watching the backs of several people disappearing in the distance, Li Lan sighed softly and looked at the rising sun that had risen to the middle of the sky in the distance, without moving for a long time.

"Xiaobao, my things are mine, I will protect them."

"Host, I feel that you are different from all my previous hosts."

"Oh? What do you mean, Xiaobao?"

"Previous hosts were all about completing the tasks assigned by the main system. Sometimes, they were even more like machines than I am. But with you, it's as if these tasks are no longer tasks, but missions. You always desperately want to do well, want to change the concepts and hardships of this era."

After hearing what it said, Li Lan chuckled.

"How can I be as great as you say?"

"Host, really."

……

The Hall of Supreme Harmony in the Bianjing Imperial Palace.

Emperor Huide sat on the dragon throne, listening to the discussion among his ministers about "establishing a crown prince". Suddenly, his eyes flashed and he raised his hand to signal silence.

"Xu Zheng, have you built the waterwheel?"

Xu Zheng was stunned when he was named. He thought to himself: Aren't they discussing the appointment of a crown prince? How did the discussion get to me?

"Your Majesty, it's ready."

"Where's the cement?"

"Your Majesty, the cement is only one step away from completion, and the results will be available today."

When all the ministers heard this, they all looked at the emperor and his minister. Except for Zhou Minhan, they all wondered in their hearts, what kind of riddle is this?

"My dear ministers, are you very curious? If so, then please go to the Ministry of Works and take a look with me."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

At this moment, Xu Zheng's servant hurried into the Ministry of Works and explained his purpose to the various officials. Upon hearing this, everyone immediately began moving the waterwheel and ram pump into the Ministry's courtyard.

After a while, everyone came to the Ministry of Works and saw two wooden objects placed in the yard. They were very curious and rushed forward to take a look. Some ministers even touched them.

"My Lords, this is the waterwheel His Majesty mentioned. Its operation can transport water from the river into the canal, saving the people the trouble of carrying water back and forth, which is beneficial for farmland irrigation. The one next to it is called a ram pump. This is the agricultural tool that our Ministry of Industry announced a while ago, which can pump water from wells..."

Following the introduction by the Right Vice Minister of Works, all the ministers immediately understood.

"Xu Zheng, take the other ministers and go take another look at those two things."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Emperor Huide sat on the chair brought by Li Chun, looked at the ministers who were leaving, and threw the teacup in his hand to the ground, his eyes full of anger.

"Your Majesty, take care of your dragon body."

"Li Chun, this bunch of useless people don't want to do things that benefit the people or the country, and they keep forcing me to appoint a crown prince."

"Your Majesty, since you already know they are useless, don't bother with them. Take care of your health first."

After hearing his words, Emperor Huide chuckled and scolded him, "You old slave."

After a while, the ministers returned, their faces filled with joy. Seeing Emperor Huide sitting in the courtyard, they quickly knelt and saluted, saying in unison: "Your Majesty is a blessing to all the people and the world."

"Since all of you have seen it, I will not hide it. These things were invented and discovered by my newly appointed Benevolent Lord. The Great Qin Dynasty is currently facing internal troubles, and I hope that all of you can share my worries and those of the people, do practical things, and show your love for them."

The ministers understood that His Majesty had no intention of appointing a crown prince for the time being, and asked them not to bring it up again. At this point, with the internal troubles unresolved, bringing it up would only cause His Majesty more trouble, and whoever brought it up would be in trouble.

"Yes, Your Majesty. You will do your utmost to help Your Majesty."

"General Zheng."

"The minister is here."

"Today you will order the various military camps to purchase grain and seeds. When the potatoes and sweet potatoes are ripe, you will take some and distribute them to the various camps. From now on, each camp will grow its own grain. This will be used in case food and wages are insufficient and we are unable to provide supplies in time."

When General Zheng heard this, his eyes lit up and he sighed inwardly: Even if there is no war, His Majesty still has these military officials in his heart. He quickly shouted loudly: "Your Majesty is wise, long live His Majesty!"

Meanwhile, Grand Tutor Zhuang Minghui and his ministers knelt on the ground, heads bowed, smiles in their eyes, thinking: "If Your Majesty can replenish the treasury and benefit the farmers, then when the eldest prince ascends the throne, all he needs to do is create a prosperous era. This kind-hearted local lord must make thorough inquiries to see if he can be of use to his own benefit."

The people in Lijia Village here are different from the ministers in the court who have different thoughts. Everyone is working hard.

Since Li Lan separated from Li Dali and others, he went to Li Youtian's house. No one knew what the two were talking about. It was already noon, and the door to the main hall had not been opened.
