"Is the road repaired?"
As soon as the motorcade came off the main road, Du Lin discovered that the road from the main road to the town had completely changed.
This road used to be a dirt road, and when it wasn't raining, it was very dusty. Whenever horses or cars ran on the road, the dust would cover the sky.
It's even worse when it rains, because there are many complicated things on this road, including animals and cars. The soil is softer in some places and tighter in others.
When the rain comes and soaks, the entire road will be in a state of disrepair. If you are unlucky, it is not uncommon to break one or two horse legs.
This road has always been maintained like this, causing inconvenience to traffic. Du Lin initially thought about building a road, but later gave up the plan after careful consideration for a period of time.
It's not that he was stingy with the money he spent to build the road, it's just that once the road is built, it will definitely change the peaceful life in Alfalfa Town.
Transportation is always one of the basic conditions for social prosperity. The prosperity of Alfalfa Town may not be a bad thing, but for those living in the town who want to hide themselves and have been hiding for decades, This is not a good thing either.
With more outsiders and a livelier town, they are more likely to be exposed, and the risks and costs of hiding themselves increase countless times.
In addition, Mr. Kesma had a bad temper and was an old man who liked to do things more than talk. Dulin felt that it would be better to let the development of Alfalfa Town "lag behind" for the time being.
He didn't expect that someone else would actually build this road, so he looked at Mason sitting next to him.
The two brothers took a car, and Ophelia and Emil took a car. This was Mason's suggestion, but Dulin believed that it was Emil who actually had such an idea. He did not ask or reveal it. accepted this distribution method.
Mason smiled, "Of course, I spent less than two hundred thousand to build this road. You can't imagine how happy my father was when he knew about this idea."
He couldn't help laughing when he recalled Mr. Kesma during that time, "He secretly went to the city to hire people to print some posters and put them up in the town..."
When Dulin grew up, he understood many things. For example, Mr. Kesma would sometimes make some seemingly incomprehensible actions. That was definitely not because of his weird personality, but because he wanted to do something to satisfy his vanity. it.
From Mason's account, Dulin learned that in addition to printing those posters, Mr. Kesma also printed some questionnaires. The posters emphasized the effectiveness and difficulty of road construction.
In this world, everything is easy to discuss, but things related to money are not so easy to discuss. The appearance of the poster did make some people in the town realize the necessity and difficulty of building roads - mainly because everyone is unwilling Pay out of your own pocket.
He then made some questionnaires for the residents of the town to accept. One of them was "If someone is willing to build a road from Alfalfa Town to the city at no cost, but requires the naming rights of this road, do you think it is reasonable?" "
The questionnaire survey listed the various costs of building roads in detail, and even exaggerated the number to 500,000. It would take at least 350,000 to build an ordinary road. If you want it to be better and less likely to be damaged, Yes, five hundred thousand is a very reasonable price.
On this questionnaire, most people chose not to care, because they were really frightened by the estimate, so they thought it was reasonable for whoever paid to build the road to have the naming rights.
Then the road was built….
"Then what?" Dulin also became curious. Mr. Kesma's wild and brilliant ideas were always so unique, and he felt that this matter was unlikely to be accomplished. It had nothing to do with who spent how much money. relation.
The Kosma family is not the dominant family in Alfalfa Town, although everyone knows that the Kosma family is not easy to mess with. In addition to a grumpy old man and an old woman who is very good at fighting, there are also some officials. children.
But this cannot be the basis for Mr. Kesma to name the road leading from the town to the city "the road to Kesma's house". This is simply a provocation to all the residents of the town!
After several large-scale quarrels and sensible fights in the countryside, Mr. Kesma finally reached an agreement with the residents of Alfalfa Town, although his approach still left Dulin a little... speechless. .
As the car sped along the smooth road, the surrounding scenery became familiar in about twenty minutes. More importantly, Du Lin saw the town of Alfalfa, which was already at the end of the road...
He counted six huge stone statues that were at least twelve meters high, and there seemed to be something written on the base.
In addition to Mr. and Mrs. Kesma, statues of Dooling himself appear at the end of the road, as well as those of Mason, Merlin, and Kinsale.
"Actually, there are still many empty bases. When the younger brothers and sisters gradually grow up and gain a certain degree of fame, my father will send them up." As he spoke, Mason burst into laughter again, "Yes, our family People will stand there..."
Du Lin also laughed, "I simply can't describe it all in words. Maybe shame is more appropriate. I have never heard of anyone who would stand a statue not far from his home while he was alive. He is crazy. ?"
It turned out that Mr. Kesma was not crazy. When the car stopped at the gate of the town, Mr. Kesma happened to appear at the door and the motorcade also stopped.
Du Lin pushed the door open and got out of the car. Just when he was about to say something, Mr. Kesma waved his hand and said, "Don't thank me. I just felt that it would be a bit monotonous if only your mother and I were made into statues, so I made you Also added."
"I argued with them for a long time about this, and I won in the end, but I did it for myself, not you, so you don't have to thank me."
Du Lin held back what he wanted to say. Anyway, as long as the old man was happy, that would be fine.
Mr. Kesma raised his chin, looked at Ophelia standing behind and said, "Is this Magus's niece? I thought she would have blue skin and two horns!"
The blue skin and horns on the head are the devils in the Guarte mythology. It is obvious that Mr. Kosma does not like Ophelia. She is not only an Ogdin but also a descendant of a great noble. What Mr. Smart did in the first half of his life was completely opposite. How could the old man be satisfied
