In the end, Chu Mingyuan hesitated for a while, and chose to work. It was really uncomfortable to be isolated by the whole village.

After one and a half months of construction, the road was repaired to the location of Lijiahe.

When Li Qingyu returned to her natal home, she would pass a river, which was the Lijia River.

Originally, there was a bridge over the Lijia River, but a flood a few years ago washed away the bridge. Later, the government ignored the matter, and the bridge has not been repaired until now.

People from several villages gathered on the bank of the river...

"Brother Li, how about we go talk to Miss Qing Zhi and ask her to help us build the bridge?"

"Building a bridge is a big project, will she be willing?"

"I don't know if I want to, but this is an opportunity, and it's a rare opportunity. Let's try it?"

"That's fine. If she is willing to advocate for us, then the whole village will help repair the bridge, and she won't be allowed to pay us."

"I plan to do the same, let's go and try."

"Let's go."

The village chiefs of several villages discussed carefully, and then walked towards Chu's Village together.

The road on Chu Qingzhi's fief is basically completed, and now the official roads near Shuiyun County and outside the fief are being built. Recently, she frequently goes out to make inspections, fearing that everyone will feel that the road is too far away, so they will slack off.

Chu Qingzhi was walking on the road, thinking about how to repair the road on the Lijiahe side, if not, Tongzi County and Shuiyun County are always separated by a river, it is very inconvenient to travel, especially when transporting goods,

If it is a detour, the river is so long and the cost is too high, the best is to build a bridge over the river.

I will do a good survey in a while, and if the bridge can be repaired, I will build the bridge.

Thinking this way, she ran into several village chiefs head-on.

The village chiefs didn't expect to meet Chu Qingzhi on the way, and when they saw her, they surrounded her enthusiastically.

The village chief of Lijia Village said, "Girl, we are the village chiefs of the surrounding villages, and I want to discuss something with you."

Chu Qingzhi nodded, "Please tell me."

Village head Li thought for a while and said bluntly, "Girl, we hope you can build a bridge on the Lijia River. Our village is poor and we don't have much money, but there are many men. We are willing to pay no wages. We just ask you to help us build a bridge."

This coincided with Chu Qingzhi's thinking, "I need to see if the bridge can be built. I'm planning to go to Lijiahe now. Why don't the village chiefs go and see with me?"

Several village chiefs quickly agreed, "Okay, okay, I will listen to the girl." This was a surprise.

A group of people walked quickly to Lijiahe.

Chu Qingzhi went to the river to watch. The Lijia River was about eight or nine meters wide, the river flowed slowly, and the surrounding soil was relatively thick, not sandy, so it was not a big problem to build the bridge.

The road was being built not far away, when Chu Rong saw Chu Qingzhi, he hurried over, "Qingzhi."

Chu Qingzhi turned her head, "Father."

Chu Rong asked concerned, "What are you doing here?"

Chu Qingzhi said, "I'll see if a bridge can be built here, and if it can be built, it will be built."

"It's good to build a bridge." Chu Rong was very happy, pointed to the upstream direction, and said, "There is a narrower river over there. If you want to build a bridge, you can build it there."

Chu Qingzhi nodded, "I'll go and have a look right away."

Chu Qingzhi went upstream, and if the bridge was to be built, of course, the narrower the river, the easier it would be to build, and it would also save materials.

After walking upstream for a distance of about ten meters, Chu Qingzhi saw a narrower river channel, about five or six meters, compared with the eight or nine meters just now, the difficulty has been reduced a lot.

At this time, an old man came over, he looked at Chu Qingzhi earnestly, and asked, "Are you Miss Chu Qingzhi?"

Chu Qingzhi didn't know, so, "I am, is there something wrong, old man?"

The old man made a big gift to Chu Qingzhi, "My gift is to thank the girl on behalf of the people of this side. The girl understands the righteousness and really does practical things for the people. It's so rare, so rare!"

Chu Qingzhi gently turned her body away, without accepting the ceremony, "Old man, meager strength is not worth mentioning."

The old man waved his hand and said in admiration, "Every time it rains, if it rains for several days in a row, the road will be like a field, full of mud. Now that there is a bluestone road, even if it rains for a month, I won't be afraid. What the girl has done can set an example for everyone in Daling."

Chu Qingzhi smiled humbly, "The old man is absurd."

The old man solemnly said, "I have lived most of my life, and I have never praised the wrong person. You deserve the praise, and only you can afford it."

Chu Qingzhi smiled, "Thank you, old man."

The old man's eyes became sincere, "Girl, besides thanking you for the people today, I also want to tell you one thing."

Chu Qingzhi nodded, "Please tell me, old man."

The old man said with some memories and regrets, "I am a bridge worker. The bridge that was washed away in Lijia Village was built by me and others together. Since the bridge was washed away, I have always wanted to rebuild it, but it is impossible to do it with my own strength. Girl, will you arrange for the bridge to be repaired? If the bridge is to be repaired, I am willing to do my best."

Chu Qingzhi naturally agreed to him, "I have this plan, and I took a look. The narrowest part of the Lijia River is here."

The old man has a lot of experience in building bridges. "The Lijia Bridge was built here back then, but this time, the bridge hole needs to be enlarged to prevent it from being washed away again when the flood comes."

Chu Qingzhi asked someone to fetch the pen and paper, spread it out on a stone, and discussed the design with the old man.

After some conversation, the old man admired Chu Qingzhi so much, not only did he know a lot, but even if he didn't know it, he could draw inferences after knowing it. This knowledge was simply more profound than anyone he had ever met.

While the two were talking, several bridge workers came to help repair the bridge.

Chu Qingzhi brainstormed and finally decided to build a five-arch stone bridge, two large arches, three small arches, and many other small details for flood prevention, so that even if there is a flood, there is no need to worry.

Chu Qingzhi said, "Let's see if there are any problems. If there are no problems, we will build according to this."

The old man said, "It's perfect, there is no need to change it."

"We agree too."

Chu Qingzhi said, "That's fine, I'll arrange the manpower and prepare the materials right away, and we'll start working after all the preparations are complete."

The news of the reconstruction of Lijiaqiao spread quickly, and many people around came to help.

Everyone has long wanted to build the bridge, and now that this wish can be realized, they all want to do their part to build the bridge as soon as possible.

Under the arrangement of Chu Qingzhi, who is super mobile, the construction of the Li Family Bridge started soon.

On the day when the construction started, all the surrounding villages came to watch. It can be said that there were huge crowds of people, as if a big project was about to be built.

Chu Qingzhi's reputation spread farther and farther, and the incense in the shrine became more prosperous.
