Upon hearing this, Lidong showed admiration on his face.
There is no tuition fee, and the village hires a teacher alone. This is unheard of in neighboring villages and villages ten miles away.
"But in this quiet place like ours, who would be willing to come, a teacher?"
Chen Xiaobei smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about this. I will take care of it when the time comes. You just need to build the house as soon as possible. You must build a few more rooms and leave a good place for the teacher."
"There's another thing. Let's talk about the road from our village to the official road five miles away. This section of the road is very bumpy and difficult to navigate. I also want to repair it. Calculate how much work and effort it will take. The money will be the same.
Out of the village."
Lidong's eyes widened and he looked at Chen Xiaobei in disbelief, "Brother, these two things alone cost more than a hundred taels of silver. To build roads and build houses, the cost of materials and labor is not a small sum."
Chen Xiaobei smiled slightly, "The two wolves were sold for two hundred taels. How to distribute them? This is how I think about it. All those who went into the mountain to rescue people will each get five taels, and the remaining 150 taels will be used to build roads.
and build schools.”
After hearing this, Lidong shook his head repeatedly, "You guys can just share the wolf meat, but you don't need the money!"
Chen Xiaobei shook his head and said very seriously, "That's not okay. No matter how this is distributed, I have already made a mistake. What I said at first was that if you sell the wolf, everyone will share the money, but I thought about it.
, if we just go into the mountains and give each person twenty taels, it will inevitably not arouse the jealousy of others."
"If you do it after jealousy, I'm afraid it will be difficult to control what happens."
After hearing what Chen Xiaobei said, Lidong nodded repeatedly. Chen Xiaobei was meticulous in his work and had a long-term view. He had never discovered that this poor kid with nothing had such abilities before.
The two of them were discussing here, but someone could no longer sit still. This person was Chen Ping.
Chen Xiaobei came back safe and sound, and he came back before dark. According to his speed, he could only go to the county government office at most.
This made Chen Ping immediately realize that Chen Xiaobei could no longer be dealt with by a small Qingniu County magistrate.
Yes, the Liu family must be a Liu family with great hands and eyes.
Thinking of this, Chen Ping was so angry that his teeth itched, but what could he do?
I thought this matter could kill Chen Xiaobei, so he delayed it until it became too obvious. Therefore, when Chen Xiaobei comes back, he will definitely settle old scores with him.
After much thought, Chen Ping finally decided to leave Chenghetou Village overnight.
But where to go?
In the open wilderness, Chen Ping realized that he had nowhere to go. After his grandfather passed away, it seemed that all connections between him and outsiders in the world were cut off.
After thinking about it over and over again, Chen Ping remembered someone.
That is Zhao Chunqiang, the township official. It is said that this mother is related to her grandmother.
Thinking of this, Chen Ping secretly gritted his teeth and decided to go ahead and find a place to stay first.
However, he didn't know where Zhao Chunqiang lived!
Therefore, I could only rush to the Xiang Zheng's office.
However, it was already the second watch, and Zhao Chunqiang had already left work.
Chen Ping had no choice but to find a corner, squat all night, and wait patiently for dawn.
Early the next morning, Zhao Chunqiang saw Chen Ping as soon as he went to work.
Looking at the tired and disgraced person in front of him, Zhao Chunqiang was stunned.
"Chen Ping, you, what are you..."
Chen Ping cried, "Uncle, I, I can't stay in Hetou Village anymore, so I have to come to you. Please help me no matter what."
I asked Chunqiang to pour him a glass of water and asked him to sit down. "What's going on? Don't be impatient and tell me slowly."
Chen Ping wiped his tears and cried for a while, "Oh, my grandfather suffered this misfortune. Chen Xiaobei became the village chief and worked hard to expand his power. He now has forty or fifty people in the village protection team.
"
"I think his ambition is not just to be a village chief. I can't guarantee that one day you, an honest fellow like you, will..."
After hearing Chen Ping's words, Zhao Chunqiang was stunned for a while, "Is Hetou Village such a small place? Eight people are enough. Why did so many things happen at once?"
Chen Ping nodded and spoke categorically. He began to target me secretly, especially yesterday, when I told him that
As an old man, I complained to the county government, but when it got dark, Chen Xiaobei was released."
"This Chen Xiaobei,
"Uncle, you can go to the village and ask why a small Hetou village needs so many village guards."
"What's even more puzzling is that Chen Xiaobei was released before dark."
Zhao Chunqiang thought for a long time, and finally sighed slightly, "Okay, I know about this, and I will investigate."
"You can't go back to Hetou Village, where do you want to go?"
Chen Ping had a wry smile on his face, "Where can I go where I want to go?"
Zhao Chunqiang also saw Chen Ping's hesitation, and he thought for a moment.
"That's alright, you come with me."
Zhao Chunqiang took Chen Ping to the backyard. There was a small cabin in the backyard with a bed. This was a place for him to rest temporarily.
"You take a break here first, and I'll take you to dinner at noon."
At this time, outside Hetou Village.
There was a sound of horse hooves and dust was flying.
The person on duty today happened to be Lidong, the village guard captain. He squinted for a long time and finally recognized that the person coming was the bandit from Centipede Ridge.
After confirming the identity of the visitor, he didn't panic anymore.
They came to see Chen Xiaobei again. Hurry up and send someone to deliver a letter to Chen Xiaobei.
That's right, the leader is none other than Da Laohei.
There was still more than a mile away from the village, so Da Laohei reined in his horse and told the people behind him to move slowly and not to disturb the people.
What a self-conscious bandit.
At this time, Chen Xiaobei was still fishing outside the village.
Hearing that the bandits were coming, Chen Xiaobei looked at Cui Hongyu with a look of helplessness on his face, "Oh, I'm afraid I have to accompany them into the mountains again."
Cui Hongyu's expression changed, "Husband, these bandits are violent and moody, so it's best to keep them at a distance."
Chen Xiaobei smiled calmly, "Don't be afraid. I basically walked the route last time I went into the mountains. I just want to take them on another trip."
Seeing how lightly he said it, Cui Hongyu obviously believed it.
While talking, Da Laohei had already arrived with Yang Chun and others.
Far away, the big black guy started fighting haha.
"Brother Xiaobei, long time no see. You are always nice."
Facing such an enthusiastic Da Laohei, Chen Xiaobei cheered up and responded with a smile.
"Master of the village, long time no see."
There was no need to wait for Da Laohei to speak, Chen Xiaobei took the initiative to speak. "Master of the village, you are here. I have been waiting for you for several days."
These words made Da Laohei very happy. He laughed and said, "Haha, you know that Brother Xiaobei is a cheerful person. Let's go into the mountains."
Chen Xiaobei cupped his fists and said, "Please wait a moment, Master of the Dazhai. I'll go home and settle down. I'll be back soon."
