Transmigration: To Be His Man-Chapter 164 If You Want to be Rich Build a Road First
Yuan Yuan and Man were still young after all, and might slip up if he wasn't careful. Qin Mian and Lei Tia did not tell them that what they taught was a cultivation method, and only said that it was a profound cultivation method. The space was filled with spiritual energy, making it the best place to train. Every time Qin Mian and Lei Tia brought Yuan Yuan and others to cultivate in the space, they would bring them into the space after they fell asleep. When Yuan Yuan asked him about it when he woke up, he just said it was a mysterious place deep in the mountains of Qingshan Village. The reason why they were so cautious was to protect their family. Yuan Yuan didn't doubt it at all. After reaching Foundation Establishment, he smoothly entered the early stage of the Awakening Realm.
Even a little white and golden hair had changed a lot in the past year. Qin Mian did not know how the demonic cultivator was graded, but based on the degree of condensing of the True Essence in his White Dantian, he could determine that his current cultivation was equivalent to a human cultivator in the early stages of fusion. Golden Haired and Little White seemed to be able to communicate with each other. Golden Haired was currently on the road of cultivation, and his cultivation was equivalent to a human in the middle stage of the Awakening Realm.
The fact that a little white and golden hair could live longer was good news for Qin Mian and his family.
In this new year, Qin Mian's development focus was not only on his own home, but also on his own Qingshan Village. The Qingshan Village Mountains were clear and beautiful, it would be a pity if they were not properly developed. However, he was after all, just a small commoner of the Qingshan Village, and he still had to greet the Precinct Head for this matter.
When Precinct Head saw Qin Mian, Lei Tia, Yuan Yuan He and the others come to his house, he guessed that something good was about to happen. He smiled and welcomed the four into his house, urging his wife to quickly prepare snacks for Yuan Yuan and the others.
The Precinct Head's house had changed. The gate and walls of the yard had been renovated, and there was even a fruit tree and a flower tree planted in the yard after learning the Qin Mian Family. Ever since Qin Mian Family had planted fruit trees and flower trees in the courtyard, the villagers all learned from him. Almost every household had planted flower trees and fruit trees in their courtyard. This had already become a feature of Qingshan Village. Besides, the flowers and fruit trees planted in the yard were more pleasing to the eye than when they were naked. Living in a house was also very relaxing, especially in spring. Smelling the flowers gave one a refreshing feeling.
Several villagers saw Qin Mian's family walk out of Precinct Head's house after nearly an hour. Precinct Head had a strange expression on his face, both happy and sad.
The villagers were all wondering: What had happened?
On the way back, Yuan Yuan started to sing the children's song that Qin Mian taught them, "Not Your Dock".
I won't do it, I won't do it, I won't fall for your trick, I won't do it, I won't do it, I won't fall for your trick ??
Yuan Yuan sang, "When I don't want to go to school in the morning, I will accompany my father to buy groceries. My father said that I was really obedient and became more and more obedient ??"
Then, he sang: "Daddy, if you have anything to say, leave, tell me to wait here ??"
The two little fellows cooperated quite well. They each sang a few lines before changing people, and when they reached the words "I", "You", "No", their little hands made appropriate gestures, and their faces wore expressions of either joy or indifference. It was extremely fu
y.
Qin Mian didn't teach them how to do it, so he was especially surprised. He wanted to laugh, but he was afraid of angering the two little guys, so he put his hands on Lei Tia's shoulders and snickered behind his back.
Lei Tia could no longer endure as he pulled the person over to his side and whispered in his ear, "My wife, if Yuan Yuan knows that you are laughing, he might let you learn from me."
Qin Mian immediately shut his mouth and pretended to be serious.
Lei Tia's eyes flashed a smile, and lightly patted his head.
After singing one poem twice, the four of them entered the courtyard.
Yuan Yuan looked up at Qin Mian, "Daddy, we want to go to the amusement park."
"Sure," Qin Mian nodded, "However, I'll have to learn ten more words today."
"Alright."
The two little fellows charged forward hand in hand.
Qin Mian and Lei Tia followed him leisurely.
The playground was the small forest of the past. It was redesigned and transformed by Qin Mian himself, turning into a small world. He made full use of the wooden block left behind by the tree after it was chopped off. There were seesaws, swings, slides, swivel chairs, a bridge, and climbing nets. The climbing net was long and wide, allowing it to change its design. Sometimes Qin Mian would hang it up to form a wall, sometimes he would fold it into a three-story wall, and sometimes he would make a small maze. Yuan Yuan and Man's favorite thing was to climb the net, every time they played until they couldn't climb anymore.
"Dad, I want to play climbing." Ye Zichen spoke up impatiently.
Lei Tia tied a safety rope around the two of them.
The two of them immediately rushed towards the climbing net, and moments later, the sounds of children laughing could be heard from the amusement park.
The servants brought over the fruits, tea and snacks while Qin Mian and Lei Tia sat by the side to protect the two children ??
In the morning two days later, the second son of the Precinct Head family was beating a gong, shouting out loud, "After breakfast, come to the Precinct Head to discuss things, each household will have one person; after breakfast, come to the Precinct Head to discuss things, each household will have one person ??"
After eating breakfast, the villagers began to head towards Precinct Head's house in groups of twos and threes. It was said that every family only needed one person to go, but the villagers were all concerned about the big matters in the village, as long as they had nothing important on their hands, they would all go to Precinct Head's house.
After Qin Mian and Lei Tia finished their breakfast, Yuan Yuan and who had been staying at home to study their lessons from the day before came to Precinct Head's house together.
The villagers entered and found a place to squat.
Old Master Liu and Old Master Wang were also invited to sit on the two teachers' chairs under the eaves.
Qin Mian and Lei Tia were also given two chairs.
The eldest son of the Precinct Head, Luo Youfu, called for the family head, no matter who it was.
After the roll call, Precinct Head said: "It's still the same old rule. This old man will first talk about the matters before asking any questions. If any of you have any, wait for this old man to finish."
The villagers, who were used to the Precinct Head's style of handling affairs, had no objections.
After the Precinct Head sat down, he continued, "Today, I've invited everyone here to discuss the matter of repairing the road with Qingshan Village. Why are our Qingshan Village so poor in the past? Why wasn't there a school before? It was all because the Qingshan Village was too remote and the road was too uneven. If we could repair the road, it would be much more convenient for us to transport the grain from the fields or buy it from the outside. If everyone still doesn't understand this logic, this old man will give you an analogy. Now, we want to sell a cart full of grain. If it's four hundred pounds, we'll need one person to drive the cart, six people to cart the cart, and it'll take us more than an hour to get from the village to the town. If our path is easy, perhaps two carts will be enough. We only need to pay two wages, and we can save a lot of time. Think about this. Not only that, but now that the road is ready to go, the girls are willing to marry into our village. Do you think a good girl would like to marry a village that is easy to walk on, or a village that is hard to walk on? Therefore, building roads is not only beneficial to us, but also to our descendants. While we can still work, we have to do something good for future generations. "Isn't it?"
His words were so popular that the villagers could understand them, and they all nodded in agreement.
The Precinct Head took a sip of tea and continued, "Before the seedlings were planted in the middle of May, everyone was basically free. I thought to use this opportunity to fix the road out of the village. Every family had a strong worker, and there was really no strong worker in the family. A wife, wife, or half-grown boy had to help out, doing some light work and bringing tea and water to everyone. I will take care of this matter. In short, as a part of Qingshan Village, every single family had to contribute. Otherwise, don't walk the path that others have made. "
Someone opened their mouth to speak, but Precinct Head waved his hand, "This old man is not done yet. Everyone should have guessed that it was Tia and his wife who brought up the matter of the road repair. Their family was the wealthiest in Qingshan Village, but they did not forget to take care of their fellow villagers. They told me that they would teach everyone to burn bricks for free, and then our village would have a flat road paved with bricks. This time, we have to thank Tia and his wife. This is what I want to say. Does anyone have any objections? " 𝐟𝗿𝚎𝐞𝓌e𝒃𝑛𝒐ѵ𝒆𝑙.c𝚘𝓶
Old Master Liu nodded. "Road, indeed." However, most of the men in our village work in the Processing Factory. If we were to go and fix the roads, wouldn't it mean that the work at the Processing Factory would be delayed? " He looked at Qin Mian and Lei Tia with concern.
Precinct Head said: "That's why Tia and his wife are kind. When they are repairing the road, the men will temporarily stop working."
"Exactly." Qin Mian looked at the rest of the people, "The cultivation of the road is an important matter in the entire village, our family will naturally support you."
The villagers were praising him and Lei Tia endlessly. Some even suggested that when building the road, Qin Mian Family should not require the use of labour.
The matter of repairing the road was settled without a hitch. f𝐫𝑒𝗲𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧૦𝘃𝗲l.c𝚘𝘮
Brick burning requires fuel, soil, water and brick kilns. There was a col in the earth, there was a deep layer in the earth, and the soil was excellent. It was very suitable for taking soil to make blank; water, there was a river, there was no shortage of water; as for the brick kiln, one could build it here.
With Qin Mian's guidance, the villagers would build brick kilns and mold for bricks. Grandfather Qin Mian's village had a brick kiln, and because of the conflict between the partners, it was abandoned after less than two years. Qin Mian and his village playmates would often go to the brick kiln to play. He remembered the structure of the brick kiln very clearly.
After the road was repaired, the brick kiln could still be used as public property in the village. Whoever wanted to build a house in the village could burn bricks here without having to spend money to buy one. Therefore, the villagers were diligent to build the small brick kiln.
Qin Mian remembered that the size of the standard brick was 240mm ?? 115mm ?? 53mm. It was probably because this ratio could better display the weight bearing ability of the brick.
The Precinct Head quickly arranged everything in the village. There were a total of eighty families in the village, and each family produced a strong workforce of eighty people. Precinct Head arranged twenty people to chop firewood, thirty to dig the soil, ten to cut pine resin, ten to burn bricks, and ten to move flexibly.
It took almost a month to make enough bricks from a small kiln. During the process of brick burning, the other villagers first used tools like shovels, hoes, and other tools to dig or fill the bumpy village road, tidying it up, and then they used stone rollers to crush it tightly. Next, they neatly spread the bricks on the ground, and once again used stone rollers to crush the bricks so that they could be embedded into the soil. Finally, the melting resin was used to irrigate the gaps between the bricks to achieve the function of adhesion. If the resin was not enough, the mixture of tung oil, glutinous rice juice and lime juice was used.
He had worked busily for nearly two months with the entire strength of the village, and from the Qingshan Village to the village road outside the mountain, it had become flat and beautiful.
After Precinct Head a
ounced that the road could be used, all of the adults and children couldn't help but step on the brick road.
Teacher Chen of the imperial examinations witnessed the entire process of road construction by the villagers of Qingshan Village. He was filled with emotion and wrote his friends a letter to bring up this matter.
When the villagers in the surrounding villages heard of this, they came over to watch the commotion with envy. They clearly understood that the Qingshan Village was getting better and better.
However, even after a few days, this matter had still not spread to the ears of the Zhaoyang County County Magistrate, who summoned him and rewarded him with fifty silver coins.
Precinct Head's heart was in turmoil, he did not leave any money with himself, he took out 20 taels of silver and treated everyone in the village to two meals, the remaining 30 taels would also be used to work for the village.
