The end of natural disasters: the daily life of child brides in ancient times

The words that King Huai had always said, "If you want to get rich, build roads first," were always in his mind.

Due to lack of money, this idea was never implemented.

Now that he has the chance, he must try it.

County Magistrate Qiao looked at the registration book and auctioned the houses, shops, jewelry, antiques and other items seized from Hu Wei's business in the county.

After selling these things, collect all the money.

According to his previous idea, the silver and money were distributed reasonably.

The money from the Salesian Church was quickly transferred.

Building the city wall is also easy to do.

For this kind of work, you just need to pay a professional team to do it.

But road construction cannot be rushed.

After all, building a road is not a trivial matter. It requires recruiting a large number of men from all over the country to do the work, and it often takes several months.

But now most of the people in the county grow corn, and the autumn harvest will be ready in less than two months.

He also knew the current situation of the fields. The crops depended on the men to water them.

If he really issued the order, he was afraid that some officials below would misinterpret it and forcibly conscript some men.

If that happens and the harvest is affected, it will be troublesome.

At this moment, everything must give way to the people's autumn harvest.

Of course, County Magistrate Qiao was still determined to build the road.

After the autumn harvest, seeing that the weather had cooled down, County Magistrate Qiao began to prepare for road construction.

Since it was paid labor, quite a few people signed up.

Later, when the road was repaired, Lu Qingqing drove there for a drive.

Because of this road, Yining County served as a communication hub between King Huai's fiefdom and merchants from the north for a long time afterwards.

Later, when King Huai took this road during his expedition, he even praised it several times.

Of course, this is a story for another day!

After the Huwei Daxing case was sentenced, everyone except the family members of the officials arrested in the county government secretly cursed County Magistrate Qiao.

Most of the people in the city praised County Magistrate Qiao as a good official, and even gave him the nickname Qiao Qingtian.

As for the news that Mei Zhuoran had spread before, about County Magistrate Qiao and his wife accepting bribes.

Although it had been spread among some people in the city for some time, most people did not believe it.

So many officials who colluded with Hu Wei were sentenced to jail by County Magistrate Qiao.

How could County Magistrate Qiao be in cahoots with them?

Especially at the final hearing when the case was closed, the people heard that County Magistrate Qiao had handed over all the cosmetics and jewelry that his wife had mistakenly accepted, and had punished himself.

No one mentioned this matter again.

When the matter was completely over, Lu Qingqing and the old village chief and his group were eager to return home.

Mrs. Qiao knew that they were leaving, so she prepared a lot of food and small items for them.

In addition, County Magistrate Qiao also allocated a separate carriage for them.

Before going back, Lu Qingqing thought of the furniture she had ordered before, and since it was almost time, she asked the old village chief and the others to go first.

She and Qin Lang went to the carpenter's shop.

When she entered the shop, the shopkeeper saw her and greeted her warmly:

"Miss Lu, you are here to see the furniture you ordered earlier!

I have already kicked out the entire set of furniture in your house.

Don't think that because you're in a hurry it won't be good. I told you, I specially asked the two best craftsmen in the shop to make it. Come and take a look!"

Lu Qingqing looked at the shopkeeper who was particularly enthusiastic this time and felt a little confused.

The previous few times she came to ask for furniture, the shopkeeper was not so enthusiastic.

Not to mention having a droopy face, he always says he's working on it in a perfunctory manner, with a listless attitude.

At that time, she just thought that the shop had good craftsmanship and relied on quality rather than service.

I didn't expect that this time, not only did they have a good attitude, but they also made all the furniture as soon as possible.

The shopkeeper saw Lu Qingqing's doubts and said with a smile:

"Miss Lu, you've become famous in Yining County this time!

When the people in our county talk about you, they all say that you are the little heroine who defeated the tiger!

There are also many people who say that you are a female disciple of Guan Erye and are very skilled in martial arts.

The purpose of coming to this world is to punish evil and promote good.

I also attended several court sessions in the county government.

It was thanks to you that we defeated Hu Wei.

Speaking of which, it’s all thanks to you that we got rid of those corrupt officials in the county government who protected the gang!

To be honest, I have suffered a lot from Huwei Fighting Club in the past few years.

In other words, carpentry work requires skills, otherwise I might not be able to keep this shop!

To be honest, I have paid a lot of money to Huwei Daxing in recent years.

The money I earn is not enough to pay!

If this wasn't the shop my father passed down, I would have closed it down!"

Lu Qingqing scratched her head in embarrassment when she heard the shopkeeper call her the little heroine.

What has this person passed down to others turned out to be?

As they talked, they went into the backyard.

When Lu Qingqing saw the complete set of finished furniture in the yard, she was immediately attracted by the sofa set.

Wow, isn’t this a modern sofa?

Lu Qingqing sat down and tried it. Except that the cushion was not as elastic as sponge, the rest was not much different from a modern sofa.

This sofa even has a lot of small ancient designs, making it very comfortable to sit on.

As Lu Qingqing listened to the carpenter's introduction, she became more and more satisfied with the sofa!

She had already imagined the scene of curling up on this sofa at home when she had nothing to do in the future.

In addition to the sofa, she also looked at a series of furniture including wooden toilet chairs, floor cabinets, etc.

The master craftsman was worthy of being a master craftsman. Based on her description, he also made some additional innovative designs.

After reading it all, Lu Qingqing was very satisfied with it.

When it came time to pay the remaining balance, the shopkeeper insisted on giving Lu Qingqing a discount.

At the same time, she asked when the furniture was planned to be moved back so that he could find a car for her in advance.

Because Qin Lang was planning to go to Yining Store, Lu Qingqing made an appointment with the shopkeeper, and they both came back in about half an hour.

When the time comes, the furniture will go with their carriage.

The two men left the carpenter's shop and went to the silver bank first, intending to exchange several silver notes for silver.

This is also Lu Qingqing's first time to come to the bank.

Only then did she realize that these days one had to pay fees to deposit and withdraw money from a bank.

As for deposits, not only is there no interest, but you also have to pay a certain management fee.

Lu Qingqing, who was accustomed to the procedures of modern banks, was really surprised when she heard the news.

Modern bank deposit interest rates are already extremely low.

Unexpectedly, this was even worse in ancient times. Not only was there no interest, but you even had to pay money.
