Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, a month had passed.
Although the bumpy road still tormented Li Yun.
However, with two cute girls beside him, it was not boring.
The carriage kept moving and stopping.
Under Li Yun's command, the cement workshops along the road had been established.
The road construction was already on the right track.
According to the current progress, when Li Yun returned from Yuhang, he would be able to successfully complete the repair.
Recently, Yun Dao could be said to be the hottest topic in the southern counties.
Although the commoners did not know the name of this noble lord who paid the money.
But as long as Yun Dao was mentioned, everyone would respect him!
Not only did they not recruit labor, but they even gave money to the people!
Such a miracle was enough for the commoners to relish for a while.
......
After another hour, the carriage slowly entered Jinling County.
Before they reached Yuhang, this was the last place they could replenish their supplies.
The remaining half of the journey was almost uninhabited within a radius of ten miles.
" Xiao Li," Li Yun jumped down from the carriage and said," You come with us."”
"After sitting in the car for a few days, I came down to exercise.”
"We'll stay here for the night and set off tomorrow morning.”
After this period of contact, Li Yun found that Old Li's son was a little strange.
He didn't speak all day and just stayed in his carriage.
"Yes, sir." Li Chengqian replied straightforwardly.
" Old Li asked me to teach you." Li Yun looked at him and was a little worried.
"Although I don't know what to teach you, it's not a good thing for you to hide in the carriage every day!”
Li Yun was even a little worried. Was Old Li's son autistic?
Hearing him say this, Li Chengqian felt very tired.
He wanted to ask some questions from time to time, but he didn't have the chance!
His two sisters were almost living in his car!
She sighed silently and did not refute him. She followed him into the city.
......
Jinling County was located in the center of Jiangnan Road. Although it was not very large, it still had thousands of households.
Li Yun hadn't seen so many people for a long time since he set off. For a moment, he felt a little fresh.
Thus, he wasn't in a hurry to go to the inn. Instead, he brought the few of them to casually stroll around the city square.
As he strolled around, he suddenly noticed that many people were gathered outside an ancient courtyard. He walked over curiously.
"What are you doing?" Li Yun pulled a commoner and asked curiously.
" To offer incense to the noble," the man replied." Aren't you from Jinling?”
Li Yun nodded and said," I came from Guanzhong. Who is this noble?”
"Do you know Yundao, who has been building projects in many counties recently?”The man said,
"I'm talking about the noble who built the road!”
Li Yun was shocked!
Xiu's benefactor?
Isn't that me?
I'm not dead yet. Why are you burning incense for me?？
At this moment, Li Lizhi gently pulled his sleeve and said softly,
"Brother, they should be talking about the longevity card!”
"This little girl is right. This is the longevity token that our Jin mausoleum gave to that noble!”The man said,
"This noble, he heard that the people in the south are poor, so he used the excuse of building roads to give us farm slaves money!”
"The monthly salary is five hundred wen!”
"Moreover, you can rest for a day every seven days, and you only need to work for ten hours a day!”
"Tell me, where can we find such a noble?”
Li Yun was a little embarrassed by his words. He really didn't expect this.
He didn't use labor mainly because he wanted to repair it faster. Moreover, the money was mostly Li Er's, so he didn't feel the pinch at all when he spent it!
Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected gain!
He had naturally heard of the Longevity Token.
However, he never expected that the first time he saw it with his own eyes would be his!
This feeling was a little strange!
"Let's not talk about it anymore. I'm going to offer incense to the noble lord. I must bless such a good person to live a long life!”
After saying that, that person turned around and entered the crowd.
After Li Yun heard what he said, he felt a little upset.
If he was in Chang 'an, his monthly salary of 500 wen would only be enough to eat more than 30 bowls of soup cakes.
However, here, the commoners could spontaneously erect a longevity token for him.
In the Great Tang, the economic disparity between the south and Guanzhong was simply too great!
Along the way, they met people who were not fully clothed. Many farmers only had half a pot of chestnut porridge for a day.
A mere five hundred wen, even the farmers of the Li Village would not take it seriously.
However, in the eyes of these southern commoners, it was money that could save a large family!
Li Yun was looking forward to the successful planting of Xiangliang You900.
At that time, the people of the Great Tang would no longer have to worry about food!
There was still a long way to go!
"Brother, let's go in and take a look.”Li Lizhi asked curiously.
"Let's go. I also want to see what the Longevity Token looks like!”
The few of them followed the crowd and arrived at the courtyard.
After entering, Li Yun was dumbfounded.
The longevity token was just a tablet, so there was nothing strange about it.
It was just that the place where the portrait of the worshiper should have been was now a strange painting.
There was an oval-shaped object in the painting. It looked like a sweet potato?
"Why is the portrait of this noble in a circle?”Li Yun pulled the people beside him and asked.
"That's not a circle, that's a sweet potato!”The commoner said,
"It's a new type of grain. I heard from the noble master that if it's planted well, the yield per mu can reach more than 50 stones!”
"Not only did the noble lord give us money, but he also brought us this rare food that can fill our stomachs.”
"It's a pity that no one knows who the noble master is, so I can only use this Yun Shu as a replacement!”
Li Yun's forehead was filled with black lines!
I've actually turned into a sweet potato to be worshipped?!
The adult and child beside him could not help but laugh.
Li Yun instantly felt that he couldn't stay any longer and fled.
......
After strolling around for a while, they returned to the inn where they rested.
Li Yun had just finished washing up when Old Chen knocked on the door anxiously.
" Young Master, there's a problem!"
"What is it?" Li Yun replied while wiping his hands.
"I'm afraid we'll have to change the route for the next section of the road we're going to build!”Elder Chen said.
"Why?" Li Yun was surprised." Didn't we already discuss it with the local governor?”
"The authorities didn't say anything, but Old Zhuang and the others sent news that there's a Cui family in Wuxing County that doesn't agree with our original route.”
"Wu Xing Cui family?" Li Yun frowned." What clan is this? I've never heard of it before.”
"Old Zhuang and the others have investigated and said that it's a branch of the Cui family of Qinghe.”Elder Chen said.
"Qinghe Cui Clan?" Li Yun was quite surprised when he heard these four words." The Qinghe Cui family of the five surnames?”
"Yes, Young Master."
"Why didn't they let us build the road?" Li Yun continued to ask.
"He said that our original route occupied his ancestral land and asked us to expand.”Elder Chen said.
" I remember that our route was to bypass the county." Li Yun frowned." Why would we be near his ancestral land?”
"How far do they want us to expand?"
After saying that, Li Yun took out the route map that he had prepared earlier.
"It was originally planned to be here, but they let it expand here.”Elder Chen pointed at the map twice.
"Here?" Li Yun squinted his eyes and said," If I remember correctly, isn't this a barren mountain?”
"Could it be that they want us to fill up this mountain?”
Elder Chen didn't say anything. He just nodded with a bitter smile.
"What other news did Old Zhuang send?”Li Yun asked in a deep voice.
"There's no other news, but he's already on his way back and will be here tonight.”Elder Chen said.
Li Yun nodded with a dark face and did not say anything else.
......
That night, they gathered in Li Yun's room.
Lizhi and Si Zi sat on his left and right, looking at him worriedly.
Ever since she met Brother Li Yun, she had never seen him so angry.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the room was particularly heavy.
Li Junxian felt rather vexed. The Emperor had ordered him to take care of everything, but he had been so focused on informing the county governor that he had forgotten about these noble clans.
Now, he had provoked Li Yun.
With this person's temper, he would definitely cause a ruckus before he was willing to let it go.
"Old Zhuang, tell me what happened.”Li Yun asked.
"Young Master, our progress in Wuxing County was going very smoothly. The cement workshop has also opened up, and we have enough manpower.”
"The people from the Cui Corporation suddenly came up and said that they wanted to use our cement to build the courtyard.”
"But this is all prepared according to the amount of road construction. If we give it to them, won't it delay the progress?”
"So you rejected it, and then all this happened?”Li Yun asked.
"That's right." Old Zhuang nodded.
"You told them that after the road is repaired, the cement workshop will still be here.”
"When the time comes, if the commoners want to build it themselves, they can just go directly?”Li Yun asked again.
"I did, but they insisted on using it now. They even told us to wait for a while.”Old Zhuang said.
"Is there any truth to their claim of occupying the ancestral land?”Li Yun asked.
" Not at all," Old Zhuang said angrily." It's still a wall away from his ancestral land!”
" Alright," Li Yun nodded." I understand. You should go and rest first."”
After Old Zhuang left, Li Junxian said,
"Do you have the token that His Majesty gave you?”
"Why don't you give me that token and I'll go find County Governor Wu Xing to resolve this matter?”
"No need." Li Yun said with a smile.
"Then what do you plan to do?" Li Junxian asked.
"Didn't he say that my path occupied his ancestral land?”
"Then I'll flatten his ancestral land!”
Li Yun said casually.
