Chapter 323: 1 Glory Monument Blooming
".....Well!"
Lin Yiran stared at Madam Xiao in astonishment, "This----I should ask Xiao Yunzhan."
No way, is Old Madam Xiao going to sacrifice her only son for the Xiao family?
Old Madam Xiao didn't even know that the father and son were still alive, so how could she be willing to sacrifice Xiao Yunzhan?
The ancients were willing to give up everything for their family.
Madam Xiao smiled with an ambiguous meaning, "He should be willing."
Seeing how attentive that boy has been to Ranran recently, she wouldn't believe him if he said he had no feelings for her.
Who can not like such a good girl like Ranran?
"Hehe..." Lin Yiran laughed dryly twice, and really didn't know how to respond to Madam Xiao's words.
She could not understand the spirit of the ancients who sacrificed for their families.
Just when Lin Yiran was embarrassed and didn't know what to say to Madam Xiao, Governor Tian ran over.
"Oh my, I greet General Long and General Tian Ce!"
Prefect Tian raised his fists and shouted excitedly at Lin Yiran and the other person from a distance.
If he can participate in such a major road construction project that benefits the people and the country, he will be famous for generations to come.
How could he not be excited?
Lin Yiran looked at Prefect Tian, who was as black as coal, and grinned.
Since the road construction began, Magistrate Tian has not missed a single day and comes to the road to supervise the work every day.
It's tanned so dark that from a distance, you can only see the bright whites of the eyes and the shiny white teeth.
In fact, Magistrate Tian’s teeth were not that white, it was simply because his face was too tanned.
Prefect Tian ran to Lin Yiran breathlessly and looked at her with admiration.
"I would like to thank General Long on behalf of the people who built the road."
"Huh!?" Lin Yiran looked at Prefect Tian in surprise, not knowing why he said that.
Magistrate Tian grinned.
"Ever since General Long had the names of all the people who built the road engraved on the monument, the people have been very motivated."
"Those one thousand merit tablets are really spectacular to look at."
"When the road is repaired and stands on both sides of the road, anyone passing by will have to stop and take a look."
He was even more motivated. He had been willing to build the road to begin with, and now he wanted to sleep on the road directly.
There are thousands of merit tablets on this road, and everyone can find his or her own name on them.
Hey!
He was listed on the first stele of merit together with General Yongchang Wanglong and others, and his name was very big.
Prefect Tian rubbed his hands excitedly. This was a great merit.
Lin Yiran laughed dryly and the corners of her mouth twitched twice.
One Thousand Merit Tablets!!
Indeed, anyone passing by has to stop and take a look. If you don’t know, you might think you have accidentally entered a cemetery.
She just mentioned this at the time, and that we could create a monument to merit and increase the cohesion and enthusiasm of everyone.
In ancient times, people would put up monuments several meters high and dozens of meters long at both ends of the road. How come there are a thousand of them now?
"All--carved?"
"That's a must." Prefect Tian clapped his hands and praised, "The craftsmen worked day and night to carve the names of all the participants without missing a single one."
He went to see it specially, and he got excited every time he saw it.
"...Okay, that's good."
Lin Yiran smiled with the corners of her lips pulled.
Now that it’s been carved and everyone likes it, let’s just put it up on both sides of the road.
Once you get used to it, it can be considered a unique landscape.
(Pingliang City Prefect He: Good thing you are surnamed Tian, but you didn’t tell me about this good thing. If you carve it, I will carve it too. Our road is longer. Let’s carve 1200 merit tablets!)
(Pinghe City Magistrate Li: What? I am still short of these tablets. Let’s carve merit tablets too. We must carve more if there are more people. We have arranged 1300 merit tablets…)
Lin Yiran had no idea that the merit monument, which was originally unique to the road in Shuitian City, would eventually become a standard feature of all roads in Daliang State.
Magistrate Tian grinned and couldn't stop laughing.
Oh my god, he never thought that he would be remembered in history during his lifetime.
The smile on Mrs. Xiao's face never faded.
Ranran has a very sharp brain and many god-like ideas. Everything he does is popular among the people, so much so that it's almost as if he is a god.
"father!"
Prefect Tian was laughing happily and was about to ask when the monument erection ceremony would be held when he heard Tian Qiaoqiao's voice coming from a distance.
His heart skipped a beat and his eyes quickly flickered to Lin Yiran's face.
Oh no, how could he forget about this damn girl? Don’t let her cause any trouble for him.
"I will take my leave. Generals, please take your time to read it. If you have any questions, you can come to me..."
Prefect Tian clasped his fists in salute, then turned around and hurried over to Tian Qiaoqiao.
It was a pity that he was delayed for a moment while saying this, and Tian Qiaoqiao had already rushed behind him.
When Magistrate Tian turned around, he almost bumped into Tian Qiaoqiao.
He frowned and winked at Tian Qiaoqiao.
(Go away, you little bitch! Don’t cause any trouble for me.)
Tian Qiaoqiao raised her eyebrows and smiled, then walked around the anxious and angry Prefect Tian.
"Your servant greets General Tiance and General Long!"
Tian Qiaoqiao clasped her fists and saluted the two of them in a very dignified and standard manner.
