Chapter 339 A Visitor from the Cen Family
Liu Tiechui sneered and said: "You are really thoughtful! That's all! If you want to do it, go ahead and do it! But I'll put the ugly words up front and I won't get involved in this matter. "
Shen Yi nodded in understanding, "It doesn't matter, I just want to discuss it with you. As long as you agree to let me build the bridge, I will do the rest myself. If anything happens, it will be mine."
"Hey! I really don't know what to say to you! That's all, you can do it yourself!" Liu Tiechui was quite helpless.
After Shen Yi left, Ma Yujie came from the backyard. After learning about Shen Yi's plan, her reaction was similar to Liu Tiechui, "I don't think he can recognize his identity! Since he has become the godson of Yong'an Hou, You should be careful. If you don’t do this well, it could easily implicate Marquis Yongan. I don’t know what he thinks.”
Ma Yujie kept shaking her head. Originally, she wanted to walk around more with Su Tai, but now her thoughts have faded away.
Shen Yi returned to the village and told Shen Ying the situation immediately.
Shen Ying was very supportive and excited, "Okay! Shen Yi, I knew you were capable! Our ancestors have lived here for generations, and no one has ever thought about building a bridge. How can you think so? It shows that you really want to do things for the people. I support you! Just wait. I will go to the mayor tomorrow and have a good talk with him. Those who are willing to donate money can donate money. Those who are not willing to donate money. We won’t force it, but after the bridge is completed, there will be a fee to cross the bridge!
After all, the bridge will be damaged and needs to be repaired and maintained. We will not charge those who donated money to cross the river! "
Shen Yi nodded repeatedly, "Uncle is still thoughtful. Please help me inform everyone that I have to go to Dahe Town to coordinate."
In the next few days, Shen Yi has been busy working in Dahe Town, leaving early and returning late. People in the village were busy with the autumn harvest and began to talk about building the bridge.
In these years, everyone has relied on Shen Yi Su Tai’s advice to live a good life, and they have a blind faith in them. When they heard that donating money to build bridges can also engrave stone tablets, they all donated generously.
Twelve taels counts as one head. As long as the name is registered, there will be no need to spend money to repair the bridge and engrave stone tablets in the future, and to cross the bridge.
As a result, as long as the wealthy family includes their family members, this family will contribute five or sixty taels, and that family will contribute one hundred and eighty taels.
Shenjiazhuang alone has raised nearly ten thousand taels.
The situation in Liujiazhuang has improved a lot in the past two years because of the Ringo attack. Some people with foresight have gritted their teeth and spent a lot of money. Even those with average wealth will scrape together a few taels of silver. Even if they can't cross the bridge for free, they can carve a car. Not a bad name either.
It is more difficult to advance things in Dahe Town. Firstly, Shen Yi is not from Dahe Town. Secondly, everyone does not think that the bridge can be built.
Fortunately, Mr. Pu set an example and donated one thousand taels in one breath, and the owner of Jixiang Inn also donated five hundred taels.
These two families are among the best in Dahe Town. They have contributed money, and the people do not dare to say bad things openly. Those with wealth have followed suit and donated some. Overall, it is not as good as Shenjiazhuang donated more.
On the contrary, all the tenant farmers on Zhuangzi paid money, the least of them paid twenty taels, which surprised Shen Yi.
Seeing Shen Yi's confusion, Fang Wei scratched his head honestly and said with a smile: "We don't understand any big principles. If our boss hadn't trusted us and given us the opportunity, let us have land for farming, and helped us build a house, we wouldn't have There will be a good day today.
And madam, she also helped us get a wife. Everything we have now is from the boss. If Winter Love is in need, we must make some efforts. ”
These people were originally alone or had no one to help them, but now almost all of them have wives and children, and have saved a lot of money. In the past, they did not dare to think of such a life, because With comparison, they are more grateful to Shen Yi. Shen Yi was so moved by Fang Wei's words that she patted him heavily on the shoulder and said, "Okay! I appreciate your kindness!"
Now that we have the money, what's next? Just arrange for people to go into the mountains to cut down trees, wait for Ke Dasong to come over, and then discuss the matter of buying sheep. A mile-long pontoon requires about 55,000 sheepskin bags. These skins can only be used for three to five years. Every three to five years. It is necessary to repair and replace a batch.
But Su Tai has a cheating tool, which allows the tool customization shop to perform technical processing on these skins to extend their service life.
The couple settled everything and looked forward to Ke Dasong's arrival.
Before Ke Dasong came, the people from the Cen family arrived in Zhaohua County first.
As soon as Cen Li entered the Zhu family, he asked Zhu Yixuan anxiously, "My eldest brother married Mingzhu to you to make her live a happy life. Isn't your Zhu family known as the first family in Zhaohua County? Why are you so connected? You can't even protect a woman? What a shame and humiliation!" Zhu Yixuan silently endured Cen Li's scolding without saying a word.
After Cen Li scolded him, he asked: "Who is the noble person behind the Shen family?"
He had only heard a general idea along the way and had no idea what happened specifically.
Zhu Yixuan stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said: "I have already asked the county magistrate. The magistrate refused to disclose it, but some people said that he was a marquis. He also recognized Shen Yi as his godson. The Zhu family I can't afford to offend the powerful."
Cen Li's face turned pale and pale, and he jumped up from his chair. "Why do you think the noble still recognizes Shen Yi as his son?"
< br>He still remembers the scene when he went to Moshi Town. Isn't Shen Yi just an ordinary mud-legged guy? There is also such a fierce Yue family, how can He De catch the eye of a nobleman?
Zhu Yixuan shook his head, "I don't know, I personally came to the door with a gift to apologize, hoping that Shen Yi would show his favor, but Shen Yi was resolute and refused to let go. The Shen family was blocked, so I could only wait for my cousin to come over."
< br>"I am big Brother is now a popular general in the imperial capital! Are the people behind Shen Yi really that powerful?" Cen Li's eyes flickered and his heart sank a little. He thought it was a simple matter, but he didn't expect that it would involve powerful people. Done.
"If you send someone to inquire again, you must find out the details of the marquis so that we can make long-term plans." Cen Li calmed down after a brief panic.
Zhu Yixuan sent people to investigate according to his request, and found some clues.
"Uncle, the nobleman's ancestral home should be in Moshi Town, and he is familiar with the town official of Moshi Town. I sent someone to come to the door with a generous gift and asked about some things. The nobleman should be the emperor's newly ennobled man. "The Marquis." Zhu Yixuan could not find out the specific situation of Yong'an Marquis, but he could speculate.
These were all worked out by him.
Cen Li was shocked, "Could it be him."
"My uncle knows?" Zhu Yixuan was more caring than Cen Li. Yi became the godson of Lord Hou without any effort, but he has been brooding about this matter for a long time.
