Just like what Wen Jiuxiao said, the Zhang family did want to ask for advice. Since they agreed to build the road, what kind of road would it be built? The Zhang family did not dare to make their own decisions. If the construction was not in line with the county magistrate's wishes, then

Isn’t your hard work in vain? Since you have to do something, do it to the best of your ability. What is best is the best when the county magistrate is satisfied.

After losing 10,000 taels of silver, after the initial heartache, the head of the Zhang family felt that this was not necessarily a bad thing. To build roads, he had to go to the county government office every now and then to ask the county magistrate for an idea and report the progress to the county magistrate? In the county

Wouldn’t it be too much for the grandpa to show his face in front of me?

Furthermore, the Zhang family spends money to build roads, and the people are very discerning. This will improve the reputation of the Zhang family among the people. It should be better than the Song family, which has produced famous scholars and scholars, right?

The Yan family and the Ma family were both staring at the Zhang family and the Song family. Seeing that these two families had gone to pay New Year greetings to the county magistrate, they felt very disdainful. They felt that the bones of the Zhang family and the Song family were too soft and timid.

Did he come from Beijing? So he frightened them? They said he was a member of a noble family, wasn't that all their own guess? Who knows? Even if he was, he would be unpopular, otherwise he would not be able to come to the mountain.

Yun County is a place where birds don’t poop?

Not only are they disdainful, they are also very angry. The four Zhang, Yan, Ma, and Song families have been entrenched in Shanyun County for a hundred years, and they have always advanced and retreated together. What do the Zhang family and the Song family mean by leaving them alone? At least we should discuss it with them!

The Yan family and the Ma family didn't want to go to the county government office to pay New Year's greetings, and they were angry with the Zhang family and the Song family. Didn't this make them look bad?

Finally, the two families also went to the county government office with their noses pinched. The head of the family did not go. One said that he was old and unwell, and the other said that he drank too much on New Year's Eve, so he asked his son to do it for him. And it was still the case.

Came in the afternoon.

Who chooses the afternoon to pay New Year's greetings? Doesn't this mean that Wen Jiuxiao, the county magistrate, is not taken seriously? Wen Jiuxiao didn't raise his eyebrows and didn't see him, so he asked Zhuo Zhengyang to go and dismiss him.

The second day of the Lunar New Year is the day when married women return to their parents' homes. Yu Zhi cannot go back to her parents' home and has no relatives or friends in Shanyun County, so the family of three decided to go out for a day. They had already inquired with the locals, as Shanyun County is close to the sea.

, the little boy clamored to see the sea, Yu Zhi raised his hands in agreement, Wen Jiuxiao...his opinion is not important, just follow it.

There are three people in the family, including Qingfeng who is driving the car, and no one else is with him. We have given everyone a holiday to have a good rest and play, so it will be a relaxing few days during the New Year. Everyone will be busy in the next two days.

stand up.

It was said to be close to the sea, but the carriage took almost an hour, mainly because the road conditions in Shanyun County were so bad. Yu Zhi estimated that if the road was repaired and the carriage could run, it would save at least half the time.

The little boy was very excited when he saw the sea, "Mom, look, the sea! The sea!"

Yu Zhi smiled and said, "It's useless even if you bring the dragon boat. Your dragon boat is too small. Just paddle in the river. This is the sea. It's okay when the wind is calm. But if the wind is strong and a wave hits, it's okay."

Even the people and the dragon boat were overturned."

"Of course." Yu Zhi said proudly, "This is my first time as a mother, so how can I raise a child? Don't they all say, 'Read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles'? You are too young to read.

. It’s okay to travel thousands of miles. Can’t it be fine if Mom takes you with her? In order for you to see more and more, Mom takes time to take you out every year to see the scenery and gain experience. Mom takes you to many places, and later...

..." She glanced at Wen Jiuxiao and said, "If I hadn't returned to the capital, I would have taken you to see the prairie outside the customs."

What a pity!

The little boy was so moved that he threw himself into Yu Zhi's arms, "Mom is so good! You are the best mother in the world! Zai'er is the happiest child!"

"Can Mom still lie to you? You were more than one year old at that time, almost two years old. Mom took you to the east to see the sea. The big conch in your toy box was brought back at that time."

"Oh." The little boy was disappointed for a moment, but he soon cheered up, "Mom, you can build a big dragon boat, a big dragon boat that can sail in the sea." The little boy stretched out his arms and gestured.

Men and women sit on different seats when they are seven years old. Zhouzhou is already six years old, and he still seizes the opportunity to sleep with his mother. He cuddles and hugs her every day, and does not look like a boy at all. This makes Wen Jiuxiao disgusted.

Yu Zhi looked at it and said, "Yes, that's a seagull, a kind of seabird."

Wen Jiuxiao looked at the mother and son hugging each other, and was very suspicious. Was Yu Xiaozhi doing it for her son? She wanted to go out for a trip, right?

"There is no boat, mother, it would be great if I brought my dragon boat here." Looking at the clear sea water, the little boy felt itchy and wanted to go to the sea.

Well, the dragon boat that Wei Niang built for you last time was already the limit, "Sea Dragon Boat"? Wei Niang hasn't activated this skill yet. Not wanting to disappoint the little kid, Yu Zhi said: "Then little kid, just study hard.

Learn this skill and build a big dragon boat that can sail in the sea in the future. Think about how majestic it would be."

Subconsciously wanting to scold him, and thinking of the look Yu Xiaozhi had just given him, Wen Jiuxiao felt that he should just shut up, lest this woman settle old scores again.

"Zhouzhou is also the best son in the world!" Yu Zhi hugged the little boy back.

"Mom, will there be fish in the sea?"

"Really? Why don't I remember? I only remember that my mother took me to see the tall towers and the temples in the mountains." The little boy looked at Yu Zhi in surprise.

"Mom, look, there are birds." The little boy suddenly pointed in the distance.

When Yu Zhi mentioned the conch, the little boy believed it, "That's because I was too young at the time and didn't have as good a memory as I do now. Mom, did you often take me out when I was a kid?"

"Yes, there are many different kinds of fish, as well as shrimps, crabs, corals... In short, there are many, many things in the sea." Yu Zhi explained patiently.

Yu Zhi covered his face and said, "Zai'er, Mom knows that's the sea, can we stop acting like we don't know anything about it? When you were young, my mother took you to see the sea."

The little boy thought about that scene, his eyes were bright, and he said loudly: "Okay!" He also wanted to design a big flag of his own and put it on the bow of the ship, which would be more majestic.

"Mom, mom, the sea water is salty and a little bitter. It's really unpleasant to drink." The curious little boy couldn't help but take a sip of the sea water and spit it out immediately.

Salty?! Because there is salt in the sea!

Yu Zhi's eyes suddenly lit up, and he shouted to Wen Jiuxiao: "Third Master, Third Master, let's dry the salt!" Salt was a huge profit in this dynasty, ranging from princes and nobles to traffickers and lackeys, who could do it?

What if you don’t eat salt? As long as you have salt in your hands, money won’t come rolling in?

"Salt? Sun-dried salt?" Wen Jiuxiao was confused. Isn't the salt boiled?

"Yes, dry salt!" She doesn't know how to make cement or bake bricks, but she knows how to dry salt.
