Li Tianyang was once again pitted by online novels, he thought that a lonely state capital like Qiongzhou should be a wild place in the novel in the eyes of the emperor and literati, and no one with status would be willing to come to these places, so the gap between it and the inland area in terms of culture and economy is difficult to measure. As described in many novels, only officials who have committed crimes or are not worthy of the emperor's high-ranking officials will be relegated to this kind of southern barbarian land, and the degraded officials will always want to return to the mainland, so it is conceivable how much development can be in such a place that cannot retain talents.

But in the five years that Li Tianyang has lived here, he has always been interested in learning about all aspects of Qiongzhou, only to find that things are not as people think. It is precisely because Qiongzhou is isolated overseas and is a perfect place for exiled sinners and degraded officials, so there are countless literati and writers here, as well as powerful ministers and officials. In order to get out of this southern barbarian land as soon as possible and return to the political center, these criminal officials and degraded officials also worked more carefully to govern the country.

In addition, Confucian doctrine is that there is no such thing as education, and it attaches great importance to education, so although you have not made much progress in economic integration, it is not much better than the cultural and prosperous land in the south of the Yangtze River.

The villagers have long been fed up with the ridicule of the people around them, and now they have finally done something to slap them in the face, of course, they can't ask for it, and who would dare to say that they are a group of barbarians who only have muscles but not brains. Of course, everyone agreed to Wu Yongkang's request, and no one objected.

As soon as Li De, Zhang Chong and the others, who were sitting with Wu Yongkang, heard Wu Yongkang's words, they didn't need him to say any more, they knew what the old fox had in mind, and they were somewhat relieved. The iron rooster bleed before it was good, everyone didn't eat so steadily, for fear that he would give everyone a set, although he might not be afraid of him, but he was also a fellow villager, so there was no need to hurt him.

Wu Yongkang finished drinking, and immediately filled the cup and raised it: "Of course, for such a major event to report to the parents and county orders, there must be a leading person!" I also know that this avenue is the result of the efforts of all of us, not the result of one person, and my efforts in this area are just as similar to those of all of you. But it is my duty to add to the righteousness and benefit the township, and it is my duty to spread good stories for our village and record them in the county chronicles. ”

"Therefore, I am here to ask for shame, and I am the leader of this table to inform my parents that I am the wind of my hometown, and I hope that all the villagers will be tolerant, and I thank you for the wine." After speaking, he didn't wait for everyone to speak, he poured the wine into his mouth and turned the sea bowl upside down.

Hearing Wu Yongkang say this, the originally lively scene slowly cooled down, and most people now know what Wu Yongkang is calculating, no wonder it is so abnormal, taking out a lot of wine to entertain the township, it turned out to be to use this wine to block everyone's mouths!

However, as the patriarch of the Wu family, he Wu Yongkang has no need to say much about his status in the Wu family, but he is just worried about the opposition of many people with foreign surnames and Li De and his gang. In fact, many of the people present here actually knew in their hearts that the greatest credit was the five-year-old boy who was sitting in the midst of a group of women and eating with relish, and if it were not for his organization and plan, all this would have been a shadow.

So everyone turned their eyes to Li Tianyang to see how he would answer. Feeling everyone's gaze, Li Tianyang put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand with some reluctance, and he didn't know what was going on, after all, it was too far away, where could he hear what they said. It wasn't until a woman whispered a few words in his ear that he came back to his senses, wiped the oil stains on the corners of his mouth with his sleeve, and replied with a natural face: "Grandpa Wu, as Lizheng, is the leader of this one, it is the right choice!" Besides, grandpa's contribution is not small, these are all in everyone's eyes! ”

Hearing Li Tianyang say this, Wu Yongkang's heart fell to the ground, and his face was full of excitement. And Li De, who was at the same table with him, frowned, and felt a little uneasy in his heart: "This kid, isn't this cheap old horseman for nothing?" Gan Xingzhi, Wu Juren and others also had a lot of grievances, but Zhang Chong, as a military advisor, was still drinking his wine so quietly, as if he hadn't heard what everyone said.

"However, I didn't make any efforts, but this road is also the joint efforts of the villagers, grandpa will definitely take away this leading work with a word, or he will not be here to make amends to everyone! In order to avoid your old man's guilt, I want to make it more appropriate for my grandfather to compensate everyone with some money and food! Li Tianyang made a turn, which suddenly made Wu Yongkang's flushed face turn a little purple, and his body shook a few times before he stood firm again.

"Of course, of course! I'm just about to talk about this, and in order to reward some of you, I'm going to compensate you for the wages of one person and one penny per person! Li Tianyang lifted him into the air with a word, and there was no way to shirk it, so he could only accept it head-on.

Seeing this situation, some villagers who were still not convinced had no reason to object. Although my own family is not only vigorous, but I also know that like this kind of thing, my own family has no chance, and now I can get some benefits in hand, of course, everyone is happy! The voices of promise and thanks came and went one after another at the dinner table, making the originally cold scene lively.

Originally, Li De, who still had some ideas and wanted to fight for his children, was not able to say anything now, his son spoke, and blocked the mouths of the villagers with silver, and this matter was basically completed. But after thinking about it carefully, even if he helped his son grab this credit, it didn't seem to be of much use, not to mention whether outsiders believed that this matter came from the hands of a five-year-old child. And it's too ostentatious for his own family: at this time, it has only been a few decades since the plague of the Japanese pirates was quelled, and the DPRK and China are still focusing on pirates and the like.

And for Li Tianyang, who seems to be indifferent, although his mouth is so simple, in fact, he has already regretted it in his heart until his intestines are blue! How much did I spend on it, how much energy I spent on it, and I worked hard to open a golden finger, but I didn't expect that I didn't get any benefits, and I had to give the credit to the villagers with a shy face, and only gave the villagers a little insignificant money.

You must know that for a project like this, with materials and labor, it is not even possible to think about five or six hundred taels of silver, and now he Wu Yongkang has won the name of a righteous act by spending hundreds of taels of silver, which is really cheap. You must know that in the Ming Dynasty, the government praised many righteous deeds for benefiting the township, and it was also a signboard for officials to brush up their political achievements. With his age of Wu Yongkang, with such a righteous act, if he goes to do a little bit or two, it will basically be a sure thing to come back as a "longevity official" at that time.

Otherwise, where would he, Wu Yongkang, jump up and down for this, he would never be able to benefit people who can't afford to be early!
