"What? Zhujiacun is going to build a road?"

"Ah, you don't know? Didn't I tell you during that chess and card game that Zhujiacun held that activity just to save money for road construction. Those who set up stalls all donated money."

"Isn't that what happened last year? I thought it had been so long that this matter would have been settled."

"How is that possible? That's the Zhu family. When did the Zhu family stop talking?"

"That's right."

…

Following discussions from all over the country, the road construction in Zhujia Village started in full swing.

I saw that the people building the road were divided into several groups, just like setting up a chess and card game before. The first group of people came over and drew lines, divided the road into two halves, and marked each section with serial numbers.

Then, people came over carrying hoes, picks, shovels, carts and other things. Small teams and small teams were responsible for a section of the road. They only repaired half of the road and doubled the length of that half.

They dug the soil, filled the hole, poured gravel, and framed it section by section with wooden planks.

Then, I saw another team pushing a cart over, pouring something dusty on the ground, and started adding water to it and stirring it.

After a while, the dusty stuff turned into a paste-like substance.

Only then did they get inside the "frame" and flatten it with a big guy.

Many villagers and elders who were watching were confused: "What are you doing?"

Someone replied: "Building roads."

"Building roads? Why are you dumping this kind of stuff on roads?"

"This is called cement. When it dries, it will become as hard as stone."

"Becoming as hard as a rock?!"

…

Everyone was in a daze and couldn't believe it was real.

Is there really such a magical thing in the world?

There really is.

As time went by, people discovered that the ground that was as soft as tofu actually became hard.

They didn't believe it at first, but the people from the road construction team just pushed the wheelbarrow up there without saying a word. It was not easy at all.

When they looked at it, they thought how heavy the wheelbarrow was. If the wheelbarrow could walk on it, wouldn't it be easier for them?

So, the first person boldly stood up, then the second, the third...

"Holy crap! Really, this thing is really hard."

"Oh my God! This thing is actually real."

“It’s amazing!”

…

Some people were yelling and jumping up and down on it, just to see if the road was strong. There is no such smooth road even in the town.

"Hahaha... this road is so easy to walk!"

"I feel like I will need to push a car or something in the future. It will be so convenient."

"Yes, yes, the people in Zhujiacun are really amazing. They even created such a road."

…

After the road from Anjiu Town to Zhujia Village was repaired, County Magistrate Dai was the first to pay attention to the matter and immediately made a quick trip.

Although he didn't yell like the common people, the look of shock on his face was very obvious.

Obviously, he did not expect that the Zhu family was so powerful that they could build such a smooth road.

"How did they do it?"

The county magistrate kept sending people to stare at this side and whispered: "It seems that something called cement is used. It is said that this thing is very magical. It is powder before use. After pouring water, it can be mixed into a paste and then smoothed...

…When it dries, it will look like this.”

County Magistrate Dai's heart was beating fast.

He didn't know if this thing was hard to come by. If it was very easy to get, it would be a great achievement to hand it over to the boss.

I am afraid that even in the imperial city, there is no such good thing.

If people in the Imperial City knew...

County Magistrate Dai can already foresee the happy event that his chief will make a fortune.

"Let's go to Zhu's house."

The road is still under construction, and there is still a long way from Anjiu Town to Zhujia Village, but it doesn't matter. The smooth road ahead gives County Magistrate Dai great hope.

Later, when he saw the road construction status of various sections, he asked someone to stop the carriage and watch it for a while.

The people in the road construction team are very generous and answer almost every question.

"Is this cement?"

"Well, this is the cement from our Qiao Workshop. If any of you want it, you can go to Qiao Workshop to place an order. We still have plenty of it."

"You actually sell it?! Isn't this expensive?"

"It's not expensive, just...a pack. If you want to repair a house or something, it's convenient to use this. It's much easier than using wood."

…

County Magistrate Dai’s eyes lit up. It turns out that this thing can not only be used to build roads, but can also be used to build walls and houses?!

He stared at the section of road that was about to be paved with cement, and found that there was a lot of gravel inside. Then he stirred the cement into it, and the gravel immediately flowed into the gaps.

Then a specialized worker took a special tool and "slid" it several times, and the originally uneven floor became smooth.

Then I looked up at the road that had been smoothed not far away. A yellow line had been drawn there, and a "No Entry" sign was hung on it to remind everyone that that section of the road had not yet been repaired.

Along the way, from the roads that have been built to the roads that are being built, County Magistrate Dai feels that he has gained a lot of knowledge.

Although County Magistrate Dai did not say hello before arriving, his arrival did not surprise the Zhu family. After all, they themselves were surprised by such a big thing as road construction, so it would be strange if Magistrate Dai didn't come.

County Magistrate Dai has come more often, and everyone has gradually gotten used to it, and they don't have a whole village or a house full of people coming when he comes.

Ye Yuran heard that County Magistrate Dai came to ask about road construction, so he sent someone to call Zhu Wu. He smiled and said to County Magistrate Dai: "You have to ask my Lao Wu about road construction. He is mainly responsible for this matter."

Responsible. County Magistrate Dai’s visit this time should be about cement, right? To be honest, if Qiao Workshop hadn’t come up with such a thing, I wouldn’t have believed it was so easy to build roads..."

He directly passed the credit to the craftsmen of Qiao Workshop and insisted that the craftsmen discovered it "accidentally".

As for what the facts are, they only need to know it in their own minds.

"Hahahaha... If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it was so easy to build roads. Aunt Zhu, your family has made another great contribution." County Magistrate Dai gave a thumbs up, indicating that he was waiting for this paragraph.

When the road is repaired, he will definitely report it to the court and ask for credit from the Zhu family.

Ye Yuran said with a smile: "Our Zhu family dares to innovate, it is because of the good leadership of County Magistrate Dai. Under your leadership, the people are safe and content, happy and healthy, so they have the leisure to do such things. Please

The first person to ask for credit should be your Excellency."

Ye Yuran directly gave County Magistrate Dai a high hat.

But she was right. If it hadn't been for County Magistrate Dai's "inaction", the Zhu family wouldn't have had the chance to develop into what it is now, right?

Sometimes, you really don’t need parents and officials to do anything. When people are working hard, if you provide them with an opportunity for development, they will be able to create miracles for you.

The Zhu family met County Magistrate Dai, and County Magistrate Dai met the Zhu family. It was a coincidence, and a miracle happened just in time.

Otherwise, Ye Yuran would really not dare to let the Zhu family make such a big move when encountering an official with strict control.
