prisoner in the door

What happened this time was so bad that the villagers took it very seriously. It is not an exaggeration to say that people were panicked.

Mo Zhenzhen acted as the instigator in this matter (she asked the ghost servant to lure the wolf there) and the redeemer (Mo Zhenzhen paid for the consultation fee, medicine money, and subsequent nursing care money), and she got What is more important is further voice and better reputation within the clan.

Later, after everyone in the village was afraid of taking that road again, someone suggested that it would be better if that road could be repaired.

Originally, the other party just made this suggestion casually, but Mo Zhenzhen nodded, indicating that it was okay.

While others looked puzzled, Mo Zhenzhen planned what the road would look like and how much it would cost.

The clan would definitely be unwilling to bring this matter up like this. After all, the clan doesn't have that much money. Even if they had money, no one would throw the money into building roads.

So this meeting ended with the intention of discussing it later, but Mo Zhenzhen's ideas spread in the village.

Some people think it would be good to rebuild the road, but some people are afraid that they will be asked to pay for the road construction, so Mo Zhenzhen's statement is nonsense.

Everyone talked a lot. If someone asked Mo Zhenzhen, she would tell them the benefits of road construction with a smile. If money was mentioned, Mo Zhenzhen would sigh and stop talking.

After several attempts, these people also understood that Mo Zhenzhen had no money.

If you still want to build roads without money, then the only way left is to raise funds.

Nowadays, the villagers all agree that the road does not need to be repaired if it is still usable. The weeds on the roadside are too tall and easy to hide things, so they can send people there frequently to drive them away.

The matter seemed to be over like this, but five or six days later, when the village once again organized young people to drive away those weeds, one person was bitten by a snake!

Fortunately, the snake was not venomous, but the incident still frightened the villagers. No one dared to let their young men wander in the grass anymore.

At this time, Mo Zhenzhen stood up and took out 50 taels, saying that it was an upfront payment to support the village's road paving. She would build the road first, and she would make up for the remaining money as soon as possible.

What does it mean to have a profound understanding of righteousness?Mo Zhenzhen had this idea.

Although she directed and acted in these things, it cannot be denied that Mo Zhenzhen's image of doing things for the village has been established. As a woman, she can do this for the village, even if some people are still angry. If Mo Zhenzhen doesn't take out the money early, someone will take her back.

It is already very rare for someone to be willing to take out the money at this time. If someone makes sarcastic remarks at this time, it will really be a loss of conscience.

From that day on, Mo Zhenzhen was locked up in the house, either refining medicine or embroidering screens day and night. People in the village didn't dare to disturb them, so they could only come over from time to time to see if there was anyone who needed help. Mo Zhenzhen and her two younger brothers didn't have to do any of this, boiling firewood, cooking, cleaning up the housework, and washing clothes. The villagers who came over to take a look did it all.

Another half month later, Mo Zhenzhen came out from home. She seemed to have lost a lot of weight, her face was pale, and her eyes were green (makeup effect). She went to the city and left another 200 taels of silver for the clan when she came back. .

There were a total of two hundred and fifteen taels of silver. The clan elders felt it was biting their hands to hold the silver. However, Mo Zhenzhen insisted on building the road and looked very determined. The clan elders and village chief finally agreed.

The village began to organize people to build the road. Mo Zhenzhen told them that this was only the initial payment. Once the road was repaired, she would give the money to the clan later.

Therefore, the 250 taels of silver clan first went to buy some materials for road construction.When the materials are bought and piled there, they look like a lot. In reality, if they are actually built, these materials will only be enough to build a short section of the road.

Mo Zhenzhen asked that the road be improved, and the villagers really improved the road.

The foundation of the road was dug deep and paved wide. In addition to the main road, a two-foot-wide auxiliary road was paved with gravel and sand on both sides of the road. It can also be used by people and vehicles, but the most important thing is isolation. Growth of weeds.

The road was paved for less than 100 meters and the materials were almost used, and Mo Zhenzhen just sent another money, still 200 taels.

Taking this money and looking at Mo Zhenzhen's face, which seemed to be getting more and more haggard, anyone would sigh at Mo Zhenzhen's righteousness.

This road has been repaired intermittently for half a year. After half a year, the road was repaired. It is a particularly spacious and flat road that looks more luxurious than the official road.

But Mo Zhenzhen still felt bad after seeing it, so she was stunned and suggested that all the open spaces on the roadside should be opened up, so that the wild animals could not hide.

This was a good thing. Mo Zhenzhen took out another 200 taels, saying it was land reclamation money.

The Qian clan accepted it, but the land opened up was in Mo Zhenzhen's name. No matter how Mo Zhenzhen refused, they let Mo Zhenzhen accept it.

This time, there are 6000 acres of wasteland opened up. If we calculate the accounts, Mo Zhenzhen spent more than 12 taels of silver to build this road. Now she has [-] acres of wasteland, which is about [-] taels of silver per acre. .

This money must have been lost. After all, it was Huangtian, and two taels of silver were worth a fortune.

But first of all, she advocated building a road, which won the support and respect of the villagers. Secondly, if she opened up such a large area of ​​​​[-] acres of wasteland in one go, anyone else would be boycotted by the neighboring villages. In order to dredge these [-] acres of wasteland, The silver required is more than a thousand taels.

So after doing the math, it can only be said that Mo Zhenzhen made no profit but did not lose either.

Mo Zhenzhen accepted the [-] acres of wasteland with great gratitude, and then bought a farm machine, saying that it was for her own use and could also be used by the villagers. The villagers reciprocated the favor, always helping Mo Zhenzhen first. Plant the family's fields, and then use the machine to plant their own fields.

Having machines saves time and effort. With so many laborers in the village, five hundred acres of land can be cultivated or harvested in one day. Then they turn around and do work in their own fields. The work that originally took several days to complete is no longer possible. It can be done in one day.

Moreover, every spring planting and autumn harvest can tire a person's skin, but with agricultural machinery, everything has become easier.

Of course, there is another thing that makes people feel more happy, that is, it is time for their pigs to be slaughtered!
With so many pigs being put out at the same time, a small place like the county town will definitely not be able to feed them, but if they are transported to a distant place, they are afraid that the pigs will fall off the scale.

Mo Zhenzhen found a solution for the villagers before they got worried. She negotiated with more than a dozen merchants in advance.

These merchants are all grain merchants, and they have professional transportation channels. Not only fresh meat can be sold, but cured meat and dried meat can also be sold at a good price.

I'm taking a day off. I'm drafting a new book today. I need to save the manuscript for the new book. The number of words I can code every day is limited. Please forgive me for making ends meet.No new books will be released in a short period of time. We will try to update it normally tomorrow. Don’t worry.
