At that time, Grandpa Wuquan was resting under the big banyan tree with other old people. Seeing this, he asked curiously, "Zhou Yang, what do you want claws for? Are these all your friends?"

They still remember Zhou Yang's three young friends during the National Day, and after they left, they brought Zhou Yang big business.

This time there are more people than last time, maybe it will make a bigger business?

Zhou Yang looked at the old people in the village, and said with a smile, "Grandpa Wuquan, you guys came just in time, and I have a happy event to tell you."

He staggered a step to give way to the people behind him: "These are the staff of the county's transportation department, who are specifically responsible for guiding and supervising the construction and management of township roads and village roads."

Seeing that the old people were still a little confused, Zhou Yang said in plain English: "They are here to build roads for us."

"Road repair?!"

The old people's eyes lit up all of a sudden.

Seen by the sudden bright light in the old people's cloudy eyes, these staff members hurriedly said: "To be precise, we are the department in charge of surveying, and the real road construction is yet to come."

In this era, even if you want to build roads in rural areas, it is not easy to do it overnight. The staff of the relevant departments need to measure the road conditions first, and then draw up a plan.

According to national regulations, rural road construction does not require farmers to pay, but is jointly funded by state subsidies and local governments.

However, in poor areas like the county seat where Rongshu Village is located, the local government does not have enough funds to build roads. Even if they can apply for state subsidies, they must be determined according to the actual situation.

After all, the country's annual financial expenditure also has a budget.

Then there is only so much financial appropriation allocated to their county, so it's not necessary to plan carefully.

Therefore, according to local characteristics, the county has implemented a policy of giving priority to supporting some, and prioritizing those that are likely to bring economic benefits.

This is also understandable.

However, according to this standard, the road construction in Rongshu Village is far away.

After all, there was only one village like Rongshu Village surrounded by three mountains in their county.

Without straight roads, the transportation of materials between the village and the outside world is impossible to talk about, let alone the survival and development of the village.

The department staff were reluctant when they first learned that they were going to come here.

After all, the road construction quota for this year had already been set, and they were busy building roads for another village. As a result, they had to send a group of people to Rongshu Village for inspection as a result of the order from above.

Helpless, the arrangement was clear and clear, and they could only follow the instructions.

Compared with the perfunctory work of these staff, Grandpa Wuquan and the others are so happy!

Although they haven't read much in their life, and haven't seen much of the outside world, they also know that building roads is of great benefit to their village.

The most obvious one is that after the road is repaired, it will be more convenient for their children and grandchildren to visit them when they come back.

At the beginning, Boss Zhou (the village head) also tried hard to fight for it, but unfortunately their village was not up to date and had nothing to offer, so it has been delayed until now.

They really wanted to hold the hands of the staff to express their excitement and gratitude, but they were also worried that the city officials sitting in the office would dislike them as old peasants, so they all looked at them nervously and nervously.

Under such gazes, the staff members, Alexander, unknowingly sped up their movements.

Anyway, this is just a preliminary measurement, so the first work was completed in the evening.

☆☆☆

The leader of this group was a middle-aged man in his 40s wearing black-rimmed glasses. He adjusted his glasses and directly informed the preliminary results.

Father Zhou is also worried now.

Although he knows that his son can make money by raising pigs, he plans to bring everyone in the village to make money together, but now... the Long March has only taken one step, and his son hastily submitted an application for road construction to the county. With eggs.

Zhou Yang didn't know Zhou's father was worried, but now that time was tight, he had to take the risk first.

Grandpa Wuquan and the others didn't quite understand this, so they could only stare closely at Father Zhou who was talking to them, and then pulled Zhou Yang who was standing aside to explain to them.

Zhou Yang had already been mentally prepared, so he said directly: "The staff said that there are two ways to build roads here. The first way is to build a winding road around the mountain. This kind of winding road is very long and time-consuming. It takes a lot of effort and money. Given the county's financial situation, it is estimated that construction will not start for a while; the second one will be faster, which is to repair the hanging wall road.

The wall-mounted road combines the advantages of roads and tunnels. The distance to build is short and the cost is much cheaper than building a tunnel. It only needs [-]% of a tunnel.

"Then this one is good!" Grandpa Wuquan and the others chose the second one without hesitation.

"But," Zhou Yang looked embarrassed, "There is a problem that must be solved in this way - that is to dig up the big banyan tree in our village."

☆☆☆

After hearing Zhou Yang's first words, the faces of the old people turned gray, and their expressions were full of fear.

Big banyan tree!

This is the symbol of their Banyan Tree Village!

And the young people may not know it, but those of the old generation don't know that the representative of the mountain god they worship is this big banyan tree!

In their old thinking, they will be punished if they touch this big banyan tree!

So they refused without even thinking about it.

But Zhou Yang didn't give them a chance to speak, and said solemnly: "Could it be that there is no big banyan tree, so it wouldn't be called Rongshu Village? There are no dragon girls in those Longnv towns! According to the experts' scientific [reread] instrument testing As a result, the roots of the big banyan tree were too deep in the ground. If they are not removed, the big banyan tree will continue to grow later, which will damage the road and cause landslides and mudslides. Not to mention a lot of money to rebuild, when the time comes It’s not worth the loss if it hurts people’s lives.”

The old people were suddenly embarrassed.

Zhou Yang anticipated their reaction, and continued his efforts: "If we follow the second method, we can go to the foot of the mountain in less than half an hour even if we walk after the road is built, and it is all flat roads. It’s not tiring. I’m quite looking forward to it. In the future, large cars can also drive in, and it will be much more convenient to collect pigs and vegetables, and our village can fully develop pig raising.”

The old people's inner balance tilted: "I, our village?"

Zhou Yang: "Yes, I told my dad before that I want to bring everyone in our village to become rich together. At that time, uncles, ladies and young people who work outside can come back to make money at home. It's okay. Isn’t it beautiful to have a family reunion?”

The old people were all moved by Zhou Yang's bright future, and one of them wiped his tears emotionally: "Zhou Yang, you are really promising. If there is such a day, our whole family will thank you."

The tear-wiping old man lives with a pair of grandchildren. Both his son and daughter-in-law have gone out to work, but because they have no education, all they do is hard work. In order to support their family, they can only see each other once a year during the Chinese New Year.

The little grandson is only five or six years old. Every time he sees his parents during the Chinese New Year, he looks strange, and even hides behind the door in front of his mother's hug.

The adults looked very sad.

Actually speaking, which household in their village is not like this?

Even if there are people who don’t go out to work, but face the loess and back to the sky, they rely on the soil to eat. Every time they go to the market, they see that the next village wears new clothes, cuts fresh meat and can buy this and that. Can you not be envious? ?

But there are also old people who are more superstitious, worried that if Rongshu Village is shoveled, the Feng Shui of the village will be destroyed...

Looking at their appearance, Zhou Yang knew that his heart had been shaken a lot, and he just needed to push again at this time: "Grandpa Wuquan, to tell you the truth, I also know about the sacrifices in the village, and I have thought about it carefully— —”

He deliberately lowered his voice, appearing very mysterious, which instead attracted these old people.

They can't wait to strain their ears and listen carefully.

"At the beginning, the priest planted this big banyan tree to suppress evil spirits, but 300 years have passed. According to the saying of '18 years later, he will be a hero again', this reincarnation has been reincarnated more than ten or twenty times, which evil spirit Can heretics stand up to this? Don’t believe me, think about it carefully, has the village been too peaceful these years, but because of traffic problems, the village has not developed, and the people in the village have left one after another, making the village more and more dilapidated?”

Seeing the old people unconsciously revealing their memories and then nodding their heads, Zhou Yang showed a sneering smile - but it was not directed at humans: "We have not missed any sacrifices every seven years, but the development of the village is getting better and better. The worse it gets, what does that mean?"

When the old people look at me and I look at you, their faces are a little ugly, and they are unwilling to think carefully about the answer to this question.

Zhou Yang didn't have to ask why, but changed the subject: "Besides, this big banyan tree was planted by the mountain god to protect us, and the original intention was to hope that we would live well. Now that the times are changing, this big banyan tree needs to be eradicated. In order to make life better and more prosperous, I think even if the mountain god knows it, he won’t blame him.”

In the final analysis, the purpose of the old people's superstition is to pray for the so-called gods to bring them a good life, and the good life is just ahead, just take a step and you will get it at your fingertips. Only people without brains will choose not to act.

It has never been some gods that promote human survival and development, but real interests.

Taking a ten thousand step back, it doesn't matter if there is really some "mountain god" to blame, just hit him if you have the ability.

☆☆☆

Perhaps it was Zhou Yang who abducted (?) those old people and agreed to shovel down the big banyan tree, which angered the unfounded mountain god.

Not long after he fell asleep that night, he "saw" himself standing under the big banyan tree, holding a shovel in his hand, who had always slept with high quality and hardly dreamed.

Is this day thinking and night dreaming?

Is he going to shovel trees in a dream?

Zhou Yang weighed the heavy shovel in his hand, and was about to make a move when he suddenly heard a voice from behind: "I can't shovel, I can't shovel!"

The sudden appearance of a hoarse and old voice made Zhou Yang stop his movements suddenly. He turned around and saw a fat old man covered in green trembling over, shouting inarticulately that he couldn't shovel.

Zhou Yang frowned: "...you are?"

Although the visitor looked kindly, he had a completely unfamiliar face, and he was dressed in a long robe, not like a modern person.

"You little baby, this tree can't be shoveled!" The fat old man didn't answer Zhou Yang's question, but kept repeating, "Your grandfather should have told you about the history of the village, and this big banyan tree is a banyan tree. The symbol of the village! It is used to suppress evil spirits and offset the sins of evil spirits. If you shovel it, isn’t this evil spirit going to harm the village? Can’t be shoveled, can’t be shoveled.”

Zhou Yang laughed when he heard this: "You old man, you don't pay attention to feudal superstition now, you still open your mouth about evil spirits and keep your mouth shut about sin, believe it or not, I will call the police and arrest you to reform within minutes? This tree is just a random tree. It’s grown, it’s just that no one has cut it down for hundreds of years, so it’s grown a bit bigger. Now it happens to block this intersection, hindering the communication between our village and the outside world. If this tree is allowed to grow here, our road will not be repaired well. By that time, life will not be prosperous. Can you afford the bright future of so many families?"

It was rare for Zhou Yang to say so many words, every sentence was like a slap on the fat old man's face.

He said "you, you, you" for a long time, but he could only slap his thighs and beat his chest: "Catastrophe is imminent, disaster is imminent!"

Zhou Yang was expressionless: "Woe? Who is it referring to? What are you talking about demons... People are ashamed, everyone has their own responsibilities, what is wronged or not? .”

The fat old man choked, and after a moment of silence, his benevolent face was covered with a layer of evil, and he sneered: "You young man, you won't cry when you see the coffin—"

"Whose coffin? Is it your coffin?" Zhou Yang said bluntly, "If it's just your coffin, I won't cry even if I see it."

The fat old man felt chest tightness and shortness of breath, and finally couldn't pretend anymore, couldn't maintain his benevolent mask, and suddenly raised his voice: "You little bastard, you don't eat the toast, you don't eat the fine wine, you don't know that you offended..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhou Yang slapped him on the face with a shovel: "You are so annoying, you ran into other people's dreams without authorization, did you show your face?"

Because he is not a living person, this shovel will not kill him, but it humiliates the fat old man more than killing him.

The fat old man looked at Zhou Yang with a terrifying look, then muttered to himself, and suddenly he rose into the air and looked down at Zhou Yang.

"The old man has said all this, but you are still obsessed with it. In this case, don't blame the old man for turning you into a flower fertilizer!"

After all, countless fangs and claws emerged from the green robe on his body, overwhelmingly moving towards Zhou Yang to encircle and suppress him!

Regarding rural road construction, of course it is not that simple.

However, it is true that the state vigorously supports road construction in rural areas and does not require villagers to raise funds.

Regarding the hanging wall road, the most spectacular one is the hanging wall road in Taihang Mountain. Since the 20s, the Huahua family, who are infrastructure madmen, have built the hanging wall road in Taihang Mountain.

The first wall-hanging road——Xiyagou Hanging Road—was finally completed after 30 years.

The 7.5-kilometer road is arranged in a "zigzag" shape, winding three levels on the mountain face.

The reason why it took so long is because there is no foothold for construction personnel on the cliff, let alone space for construction machinery.

Therefore, at the initial stage of construction, someone must hang the suspension cable to climb up the rock wall, and open the construction plane completely by holding the steel drill.

The most famous hanging wall road is the "Guoliang Cave" built in Guoliang Village, Henan.

It is a wall-hanging road carved with a 110-degree slope on the 1250-meter-high and 25-meter-long cliff.

It took only 5 years to declare completion, which was a very remarkable achievement in the 20s.
