The small hillside was essentially piled up with gravel and sandy soil. The excavated earth and stones weren't discarded; they were directly used to pave the road as per Yang Ruxin's instructions. In the future, blue stone slabs could be laid on top, making it convenient for both carriages and pedestrians. Yang Ruxin's suggestion was that the road to and from the village should be wide enough for two to three carriages to pass side by side.
Yang Ruxin went to inspect the project twice and saw that both the village head and the hired workers were extremely dedicated. As for the construction team, it went without saying—they were her own people.
To boost morale, Yang Ruxin had a large, fat pig purchased and distributed five to six pounds of meat to each household. As expected, everyone's enthusiasm surged even more.
