Chapter 213 Building a Bridge
The villagers turned pale when they heard this, and at the same time, their hearts were filled with anger. They were both worried and afraid.

Is this unreasonable again? !

An old woman burst into tears when she heard this, "Oh my God! Why don't you always open your eyes? My family's property is all used to fill this bridge, and my old man was interrupted because of this bridge." Legs! Heaven has no eyes!"

"Village chief, my family will no longer pay for the repair of this bridge. My family would rather go far away and not repair it at all!" These people are either rich or expensive, and they are all powerless people.They can't afford to provoke them, so they can only hide!

"If you don't pay, don't pay. My family will no longer use this bridge, and my family will no longer pay for repairs." This year, the money earned by walking this bridge to the city is not enough to repair the bridge!

"My family is not leaving either, and the money I earn is not enough to repair the bridge!"

"Yes, don't repair it! If you repair it, it will cause trouble!"

"I'm not leaving either! I'm never leaving again! It's not as peaceful as this bridge before!"

……

"It doesn't matter if you don't repair it, just go a little farther away, this bridge is a bottomless pit! This bridge is a disaster!" The village chief was also discouraged.

Looking at these villagers, Xiao'er suddenly deeply understood the hopelessness and hardship of the people at the bottom in this hierarchical society.

"I will pay for the money." Shangguan Xuanyi also felt uncomfortable when he saw the way these common people dared to be angry but did not dare to speak out.

It is estimated that this bridge has also brought them many disasters, and he also knows that people's lives are not easy.

"My lord, they are looking at your kindness and want to win your sympathy! You don't have to be soft-hearted. I have seen a lot of poor people like them. They spend all day thinking about how to get money from us noble people. I told you You, deal with these..." The woman looked upright and had beautiful features, but she didn't expect her words to be so ugly.

"Shut up! Say one more word and I'll cut your tongue! Get lost!"

Fourteen One sword pointed at her, his face was full of anger, and with the hideous scars, he looked terrifying.

The woman was so frightened that she quickly covered her mouth, her eyes widened, full of fear!

The villagers also looked at her angrily. They were poor, but they were the poor ghosts who built the bridge for them to cross!

So what if you have money and power!I can't bear to take out a penny!
Fourteen moved the sword closer to her again.

The woman was so frightened that she finally ran away with her maid.

"Brother Shangguan, let's build a bridge here, a concrete bridge!" Xiao'er tugged at Shangguan Xuanyi's sleeve.

"Build a bridge? Use concrete and steel bars?" Shangguan Xuanyi looked down at Xiao'er.

This girl can also build bridges with reinforced concrete? !
"Well! It's solid!" Xiao'er nodded.

He believed this. A house built of concrete is very strong, and he believed that a bridge made of concrete was the same.

"Okay!" Shangguan Xuanyi nodded.

There are a lot of people walking on this bridge, and it is reasonable for the imperial court to fund the construction of the bridge.

In the future, the affairs of this bridge will be under the control of the imperial court, so it will not cause trouble for these villagers.

"This time the bridge will be managed by the government after it is repaired." Shangguan Xuanyi looked at the village head.

"It's managed by the government?" The village chief repeated, and when he understood it, he was overjoyed, "Really? May I ask you, sir?"

Shangguan Xuanyi nodded, but did not answer his subsequent questions.

Shangguan Xuanyi's words were always brief, Xiao'er and the village head were the only ones who could understand.

The other villagers thought that the bridge would be repaired by the government this time, but it would bring them trouble if it was repaired and then broken.

"Believe it or not, the government fixed it this time, so what if it breaks next time?"

"That's right, it's broken. Those people fell into the river and troubled us again. It's better not to fix it!"

"I also think it's better not to repair it, and just take a detour."

"If you don't repair it, this bridge is a troublemaker!"

"No repairs. When there was no bridge in the past, although it was a bit hard, there are not as many troubles as now!"

……

Everyone chattered again and again.

Seeing this, Xiao'er opened her mouth to explain, and she also knew that Shangguan Xuanyi cherished words like gold.

"Fellow folks, the government will be responsible for this bridge in the future, and if something goes wrong, it's none of your business. Since we have paid compensation for the bridge building this time, let us pay for it. Besides, the bridge built this time will not be easy. Break! Do you know that the official roads being built by the imperial court are all cement roads? This bridge will also be built with cement and steel bars."

"The official road built with cement? Ah! I've seen it before! That road is as hard as a rock!"

"Cement official road? That's a good thing! I even went to repair it, as long as someone has worked hard to repair it, my family will not have to pay tolls on that road! I always wear that free sign!"

"Great, such a hard bridge, it won't be broken after walking for a lifetime!"

Xiao'er smiled and nodded: "It's possible. I hope all the folks can help me when I'm building the bridge. We'll calculate the wages for you, 35 yuan a day without food!"

After hearing this, everyone exploded. With a salary of 35 Wen a day, where can I find such a good job!
"Oh my god! I finally met a kind person this time!"

"God finally opened his eyes!"

"It's really great, to finally have a peaceful life in the future."

"In the future, the money earned from selling mushrooms in the city will finally not have to fill this bottomless pit, and I can finally raise money for my youngest son and grandson to get married!"

Xiao'er's heart moved slightly when she heard this, but now is not the time to mention it, and I will talk about it after the bridge is repaired.

Everyone rushed over to sign up.

Shangguan Xuanyi slightly stood in front of Xiao'er, fearing that the villagers would bump into her accidentally.

"Everyone, don't be impatient. If you want to do it, you can sign up with your village chief. In a few days, someone in charge of repairing the bridge will come. You can follow their instructions. This time only [-] people will be recruited. The village chief needs to find some people who are strong and good at swimming!" Xiao'er said after making a plan in her mind.

Xiao'er gave five liang of silver to the village head, asking him to pay the villagers wages when the time came. In fact, the silver was given to appease the uneasy hearts of the villagers.

The village head hurriedly nodded in response, this time I really met a good man!
Seeing Yin Zi, everyone believed it even more, and they all moved their positions to besiege the village chief.

After delaying for a while, the sun is almost setting, and the sunset glow in the sky is full of pink and pink, giving people infinite yearning and hope, and tomorrow will definitely be a sunny day.

"Let's go!" I had to hurry to buy a horse and rush back, it was getting dark, Shangguan Xuanyi held Xiao'er's hand.

When Xiao'er was in the water, he gave Heilei a pill, and now his foot injury is probably much better, and there is absolutely no problem with jogging.

And Heilei came over after listening to Shangguan Xuanyi's words, and even kicked the injured leg to show that it was fine!

Is this all right?

Shangguan Xuanyi glanced at its legs, and then at Xiao'er, feeling a little clear in his heart.

He carried Xiao'er onto the horse, turned over and rode away by himself.

The villagers watched them leave.
