After Li Sen returned to the branch, Liu Yinyue and Juan came to greet him.

Juan said with a smile on his face: "Li Daoyou was really majestic just now! That kick, the old man clearly sensed it here." ”

Liu Yinyue stood at the door, with an inexplicable smile on the corner of her mouth and said: "The concubine can also see clearly standing here, those villagers are now afraid of Li Daoyou to death!"

Li Sen shook his head with a faint expression: "It's just some ignorant and conservative villagers, just use some thunder tricks to deter a little." As a cultivator, how could Li really have the same knowledge as this group of fishermen?"

After a pause, Li Senfu spoke again: "I will go to the fishing village again in the evening, and if things are harmonious, the construction of the embankment here will start tomorrow." ”

Liu Yinyue suddenly spoke, "You plan to stay here for a long time?"

"No, after dealing with these things and expanding the port is on track, I will return to the headquarters of the Business Alliance. ”

Li Sen glanced at Juan: "Hu Daoyou can stay here and continue to help." ”

Juan hurriedly agreed to come.

Liu Yinyue hugged her shoulders and laughed softly: "Hehe, Li Daoyou is a busy person after all, and he is completely different from ordinary monks such as me." ”

"Now, Li only hopes that the expansion of the port can be carried out smoothly, and the sooner the better. Otherwise, if the people of the Yuan Spirit Business Alliance came to make trouble, it would cause a lot of trouble. Li Sen found a chair to sit on, closed his eyes and rested. Kneel and beg for a hundred blacks!

When Juan and Liu Yinyue heard this, their expressions were all grim.

......

In the evening, Li Sen entered the fishing village again as agreed.

And at this moment, no one dared to stop Li Sen in the village for a long time. Even the whole village was silent, as if it were deserted.

In fact, there were many pairs of nervous eyes, looking at Li Sen cautiously through the cracks in the window door.

Li Sen knows this.

However, Li Sen didn't care, and walked directly towards the square in the center of the village.

There, the village chief of Mapao had already stood there with several white-haired village elders waiting for Li Sen for a long time.

When they saw Li Sen coming, their faces showed awe, and then they trotted up to meet them.

There was no good place to entertain in the village, so these people invited Li Sen to sit down at the village temple.

Of course, Li Sen is self-serving.

The village temple is a place used for worship in the village on weekdays, and although the temple is very small, it is still clean. After Li Sen entered, he found that the temple had already prepared a Taishi chair and placed it in the center of the temple.

Li Sen was not polite, and sat straight away.

The village chief of the linen robe and a few village elders wanted to pay homage to Li Sen, looking as if they were worshipping God.

Seeing this, Li Sen couldn't help frowning slightly.

To tell the truth, Li Sen's real age is more than 800 years old, and it is nothing to be worshiped by these white-haired 'juniors'.

But Li Sen came to do business this time, and he was a collaborator with these secular villagers. Since it is cooperation, where can I sit in the temple and let this group of village elders pay homage to my own truth?

Immediately, Li Sen raised his hand slightly, and gently stroked his sleeve robe forward.

In an instant, the knees of those village elders who had already bent away could not sink when they landed. A soft but irresistible force lifted them up steadily.

For a while, the village chief of the mabe and the village elders were suddenly shocked in their hearts, and then they didn't dare to kneel forcibly, but they just gave their hands in a cold sweat.

"You're welcome. ”

Li Sen spoke: "Li is here, and he really just wants to do a business with you. Regarding the matter of building the embankment that Li said before, I don't know how you think about it?"

As soon as these words came out, those village elders, you look at me, I look at you, and finally moved their eyes to the eldest village chief.

The village chief coughed lightly, then with a humble smile, he said: "The predecessors want to build a dam by the sea, and to be honest, it is also a major event that will benefit the present generation and the future! For me and other villagers, it is also a great blessing to have an extra embankment that can prevent floods, so there is no reason to refuse. ”

When Li Sen heard this, he said with a faint expression: "In this way, is your village willing to help Li repair the dam?"

"Naturally, the whole village of people enthusiastically participated, and they did not dare to be left behind. The village chief of the mabe robe said with a smile.

Li Sen showed a look of satisfaction on his face: "Since this is the case, Li will thank you in advance." ”

The village chief of Mapao didn't even dare to say it, and the village elders also laughed together. For a time, the temple seemed to be a harmonious scene of guests and hosts.

It wasn't until Li Sen lightly mentioned the word 'salary' that the village elders stopped smiling.

The village chief of Mapao first touched his beard, and then glanced at Li Sen with some caution before he said: "The matter of repairing the dam is a very beneficial thing for the village, so naturally they all participated voluntarily. However, if Li Gongzi had a lot of money, if he could manage some meals so that the villagers who went to work could have something to eat, then the whole village would already be grateful. ”

"Yes, yes!"

The village elders also echoed each other, and they all said in unison, 'As long as you are willing to take care of the food, you don't want to pay your salary'.

Li Sen saw the expressions of these village elders clearly in his eyes, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Li is here to do business, not a supervisor sent by the government. How can there be a reason to only provide food and not pay you? You don't have to test Li with words, how much money should be paid, Li will not be short of you. Li only wants to know how long it will take for the embankment to be repaired if you work with all your might. ”

When the village elders heard Li Sen's words, there was a hint of joy in their eyes.

The village chief of the mabe coughed lightly, and after thinking for a moment, he spoke: "Since Gongzi Li is so generous, then the old man naturally doesn't dare to hide anything. If he is willing to provide sufficient compensation, then in the neighboring villages, the old man can also gather a hundred and eighty young and strong laborers to come to help. As a result, the construction of the embankment along the coast will be completed in about three months. ”

"Too slowly. Leeson shook his head.

The village chief of the mapao smacked his mouth and said cautiously: "Li Gongzi, building a dam along the coast requires a lot of stones. The terrain around the village is flat, and there are no hills to take advantage of. The stones had to be transported from the southeastern border of Cai County, which took time. If Li Gongzi is willing to invest in an additional mule and horse convoy to supervise more urgency, then the time may be shortened to two months. ”

Li Sen still frowned: "It's still too slow." ”

The village chief of the mabe had a somewhat unsightly face.

Those village elders are also you look at me, I look at you, no one dared to speak for a while.

After a long while, the village chief of Mapao took a deep breath and asked, "I don't know what Li Gongzi means, how long will it take to finish repairing the embankment?"

"What Li means is within a month. Li Sen said lightly.

The face of the village chief in the hemp robe collapsed, and his face was full of embarrassment.

"Li Gongzi, this ...... The people of the village are weak and weak, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to do it. In any case, a month is too much time after all...... Unless, unless, unless......"

Li Sen looked at him: "Unless what?"

The village chief of Mapao had a bitter face and said: "Unless all the villagers of several villages in the eastern part of Cai County are gathered, and all the carpenters and stonemasons in the county town are invited to help, it will definitely be difficult to do it in a month's time." And all of this requires a lot of money. ”

"Li's time is very urgent, but there is no shortage of silver. ”

Li Sen stretched out his finger and gently tapped the armrest of the Taishi chair beside him, and said in a more and more indifferent tone: "Li doesn't ask about the process, only about the result." You just have to tell me how you can build a levee in a month. ”

After hearing Li Sen's rich words, the originally bitter expression of the village chief in the hemp robe suddenly relaxed a lot.

And the village elders were also secretly relieved.

The village chief didn't dare to answer Li Sen's words directly, but walked to the side and muttered in a low voice to the village elders.

In the end, the old man in the linen robe rubbed his hands, rubbed in front of Li Sen, and said, "Since Li Gongzi said so, then things will be easy to handle." Money can make the devil grind, let alone build a dam? It's just that if the matter is so urgent, the cost of money will naturally be greater. ”

"How much is needed, just say it. Li Sen said.

The old man in the linen robe rubbed his hands again, and finally stretched out three fingers a little nervously: "Three thousand taels." ”

As soon as these words came out, Li Sen raised his eyebrows.

The old man in the linen robe was startled, hurriedly took two steps back, and hurriedly said: "The old man does not dare to deceive the son!

When Li Sen heard this, he smiled slightly: "The village chief doesn't need to panic, Li has no intention of blaming." And the three thousand taels of silver you spoke of are indeed not much. ”

After finishing speaking, Li Sen stood up directly, and then stroked the sleeve robe of his right hand directly towards the Taishi chair behind him.

I saw that the cyan spirit flashed slightly, and on the Taishi chair, there were already ten more silver ingots flickering, and the color was bright and full of snowflakes and silver.

Those village elders had never seen so much silver in their lives, and they were all stunned for a while.

Li Sen said in a light tone: "This is a thousand taels of silver in advance." I'd like to see you start working tomorrow after sunrise. As for the follow-up money, when the project is carried out to a corresponding extent, you can directly send someone to the high-rise building by the sea to collect it. A month later, Lee wanted to see a sufficiently strong levee appear on the shoreline. ”

The old man in the linen robe kept shaking his hands, but he just agreed again and again.

Li Sen looked at him deeply, and then flicked his sleeves and strode out of the village temple.

Seeing this, the village chief and several village elders did not dare to touch the silver, but hurriedly moved their steps to respectfully send Li Sen. When they poured out of the door, they didn't see Li Sen's figure at all, only a faint cyan glow in the sky.

Looking at the cyan light that shuttled through the sky at an extremely fast speed, the village chief of the mabe robe and these village elders all showed a hint of awe.

Then, these respected village elders began to discuss quickly in the temple. After that, each of them took a portion of the silver and hurriedly began to work on the 'construction of the dam'.

For a while, the fishing village after nightfall was no longer as peaceful as it used to be. The whole village was like a huge machine, and it began to run at full strength because of the power of money.
