Chapter 43

After one month, the road connecting Lingshui village and Sanhe Town was repaired.

Zuoqiu, the county master, personally attended the completion site of the road and presided over the payment ceremony.

Xu and Xu also went to work for a few days and received a total of 2000 Wen.

The total cost of the whole road construction project is more than two hundred taels of silver.

In addition to the one hundred Liang that Mr. Xu didn't want, the county government gave one hundred Liang, and the rest of the money was shared by the people of Lingshui village. The family gave several hundred Wen. And this money, through the work of road construction, has been earned back. Not to mention, there is still money to be earned.

Therefore, all the villagers applauded.

Zuo Qiu was the county magistrate. Seeing this happy scene, he had an idea.

In the spring of the next year, zuoqiu began to build bridges and pave roads throughout the county. The county government paid part of the money, and the village paid part of the money. The local rich people donated some money, and then used the combination of servicemen and local villagers to pay. They successfully completed the road renovation project in the whole county, which made a great contribution to his official evaluation.

Of course, that's the Afterword!

After the payment, Zuo Qiu met Mr. Xu again, praised him again for no reason, and gave him a copy of the "family of good deeds" as a gift.

For this, Mr. Xu is naturally grateful.

Although Zuo Qiu is only a county magistrate of seven grades, he has made great achievements this time, and his future is definitely bright.

Even if master Xu is not in officialdom, he knows that Zuo Qiu's future is not limited to this. With Zuo Qiu's handwriting, when Zuo Qiu's successor and the new magistrate come, you have to look up at their old Xu family.

As a result, Mr. Xu, who was in a good mood, encouraged the villagers to stay in Lingshui village for a pig killing meal.

It's getting cold. The pig, which has been raised for a year, is fattening!

The time to kill New Year's pig may be a little earlier, but today is a good day. Who cares?

Of course, the pigs killed were not raised by Lao Xu.

This pig belongs to the seven families of cunzhengguan.

Guan Laoqi, who wants to show himself in front of the county magistrate, is a big fat pig of his own.

The people of the whole village had a good pig killing meal. Although they didn't dare to say that the meat was enough, at least everyone had meat and a big dish with meat flavor.

This is the word beauty!

After seeing Zuo Qiu off, Guan Laoqi took master Xu's hand and said, "brother Xu, you are my brother and my noble man!"

"Seven brothers, what are you saying?"

Mr. Xu waved his hand. "In those days, my husband and I went to our village with our family. If it hadn't been for your father's care, I would not have known where to bury it!"

"When my family built that house, you did a lot of work. I remember all that."

"Hey, brother Xu, let's not talk about that!"

"In one's life, no one can help when he is in danger, so help him!" Guan Laoqi belched, "I didn't think Guan Laoqi had any great prospects in his life, but your nephew, he can't be unpromising!"

"Read, no matter how good you are. After so many years, that's it!"

"This time, thanks to your elder brother, your eldest nephew has become a scribe in the county government, which is a bit promising!"

"I owe you all this, brother!" Guan Laoqi grabs Xu Laozi's hand and is very grateful.
