After everyone had left, Qiao Xuan looked at Li Yue, who was standing next to him uneasily.

"Does the village chief have something to say?" Li Yue asked tentatively when she saw Qiao Xuan smiling at her.

"Come out with me and have a look!" Li Yue grew up in the village and was familiar with every nook and cranny of the village. Qiao Xuan was going to take her to explore the road first.

"Okay! I will listen to the village chief."

If you have breasts, you will have a mother. Talking about benefits with people in Taoyuan Village is much more effective than talking about other things. The same is true for Li Yue.

As long as Qiao Xuan could bring her benefits, she would be willing to follow Qiao Xuan in circles.

Qiao Xuan turned around, and Xi He and Xi Yan were also staring at her. Apparently they wanted to go too.

"You guys can go too!"

In a word, Xi Yan quickly started to pack up the things that were moved out. Xi He brought the table in. After the two of them packed the things in the room, they came out and closed the door.

"Let's go!"

The four people walked towards the village entrance calmly.

Li Yue peeked at Qiao Xuan several times while hesitating to speak. Qiao Xuan glanced at her sideways and said, "If you have something to say, just say it! Don't be hesitant or awkward."

"Um - I heard that each village only has fifty taels of silver." She paused and observed Qiao Xuan's face as she spoke. Seeing that Qiao Xuan's expression remained as usual, she continued: "Village chief, you promised to give us fifty taels of silver a day."

Could it be that he lied to us?"

After being overwhelmed by Fifty Wen's surprise, he calmed down and started to worry about whether Qiao Xuan could keep his promise. After all, no one wants to suffer.

Qiao Xuan suddenly stopped and stared at Li Yue angrily.

Li Yue was startled by her sudden momentum and wanted to slap herself in the mouth. She shouldn't have said so much. There were so many of them. If Qiao Xuan really couldn't come up with money in the end, there would be more people to deal with her. She couldn't do it at all.

Offend this person now.

"Li Yue, you really have long hair and short knowledge!" Qiao Xuan said with disgust: "You guys are just staring at those fifty coins. Can you think about things in the long term?"

Li Yue was stunned, not understanding what Qiao Xuan meant at all.

"The imperial court, why did the county magistrate allow the road to be built?"

"Trouble us for nothing?" Li Yue answered cautiously, fearing that if he made the wrong call, he would get a blank look from Qiao Xuan.

"I'm torturing you! It's to make us poor people rich," Qiao Xuan said seriously, "There is a saying that goes well, if you want to get rich, you must first build the road. If the road is easy to walk, everyone's life will be easier in the future.

.”

Li Yue was confused when she heard this, but she also vaguely understood.

"With convenient transportation, isn't it easier to farm, do business, see a doctor, and go out?" Qiao Xuan's eyes widened, "Today we may have to work hard to build roads, but in the future our descendants will enjoy it.

Such convenience in life.”

"The imperial court is now giving money to everyone to build the roads. In the future, it may give money to develop Taoyuan Village into a town and a county."

It must be said that Qiao Xuan's deception and righteous accusation made Li Yue feel a little guilty.

She doesn't care about anything, but she still cares about whether future generations can live a good life.

"You have been farming for half your life and living a hard life. Is it possible that you don't want your future children to live a different life?

Don't you expect them to be able to study and learn etiquette like the students in the town and county? If they are better, they can obtain honors and become high-ranking officials in the capital."

Qiao Xuan's words shocked both Xi He and Xi Yan.

Li Yue was as stupid as a goose. She had never thought about what Qiao Xuan said.

"Li Yue, can you pursue me a little?" Qiao Xuan rubbed his nose and softened his voice.

Li Yue came back to her senses, saw Qiao Xuan's old face blushing, and a bold idea suddenly came to his mind.

Xi He took a deep look at Qiao Xuan. His fiancée was really impressive. This was the first time he heard a woman say these words and have such foresight.

The four of them left the village and walked downhill for about an hour before they met the people from Qingfeng Village.

Xu Gui stood in the most conspicuous place among the crowd with a shovel and directed. The villagers were pulling stones on carts, felling trees, and digging soil. It was very lively.

"Why is Village Chief Qiao here?" Xu Gui asked after seeing Qiao Xuan walking over and glanced at Li Yue first.

"I came here to take a look at which roads need to be repaired. Village Chief Xu is busy, so don't worry about me. I'll take a look and go back."

Qiao Xuan smiled very sweetly, without any of the intimidating aura he had when he accused Li Yue just now.

Xu Gui nodded and lowered his voice and said to Qiao Xuan: "The main thing is the distance from Taoyuan Village to Qingfeng Village. The other branch roads will be repaired if there is time. If there is no time, don't worry about it."

"I understand! Thank you, Village Chief Xu, for reminding me," Qiao Xuan said gratefully.

Xu Gui originally wanted to ask about what Qiao Xuan said about his grandson on the oxcart yesterday, but there were other people around Qiao Xuan who didn't ask and went back to the team in their village.

"Is there a shorter road from Taoyuan Village to Qingfeng Village? It can't be the only one, right?"

Qiao Xuan asked Li Yue if there was a shorter road, there would be no need to build the current road. This road is winding and winding, going uphill and downhill. It is time-consuming and labor-intensive to walk.

Li Yue tilted her head and thought for a while before answering hesitantly: "Yes, yes, but..."

Qiao Xuan urged: "It's just what? Just say it!"

"That's right! Say what you have to say, don't be so slow." Xi Yan couldn't stand Li Yue's coy temper, so she interjected.

I originally thought that Li Yue's scolding attitude was a sharp and sharp temper, but I didn't expect that this brief contact revealed his true nature, grinding and grinding, which made people anxious.

"That road doesn't work, it's been useless for so many years." Li Yue waved her hand with a look of fear on her face.

"Speak clearly!" Xi He said in an impatient tone.

"That road is very evil. I heard that more than ten people died in one year. They all died inexplicably under a few willow trees on that road."

Li Yue said softly.

Xi He looked at Qiao Xuan, and a coldness flashed across Qiao Xuan's fair face, "When did it happen?"

"It seems like it was five years ago, or more, I can't tell!" Li Yue seemed to be feeling unlucky, slapping her hand in front of her mouth and saying vaguely.

"If we take that road, how long does it take to get from Taoyuan Village to Qingfeng Village?"

"Half an hour!" Li Yue answered quickly this time. After all, the current road was opened to bypass that road, so everyone was thinking more about staying farther away from that road.

It doesn't matter if you are a little tired, but your life must be saved.
