Feng Zhen couldn't have imagined that his well-behaved and obedient eldest baby son would dig such a big hole for him at a critical moment.

He was still on the road.

From Nanshengning Prefecture to Dongqing Maruzhou, the two places are far apart, and Fengzhen and his party have been on the road for more than a month, and their bones are about to be bumped and broken. In addition to the tiring travel, the climate and temperature in the north and south also made Fengzhen not adapt. Nansheng's cold is cold with moisture, so cold that the bones are shivering, and the cooling in Dongqing in winter is overwhelming wind and snow, and you have to be fully armed when you go out.

When they arrived in Maruzhou, it was less than a month before Chinese New Year's Eve, and most of the people spent the winter at home, and few people could be seen on the road.

It was freezing outside, but inside the carriage was warm.

In the carriage, Feng Zhen and Qian Su, two scribes, were fully armed, wearing brocade hats, mink furs, and warm hand stoves in their arms.

Qian Su is a southerner who grew up in a warm water town, when has he ever seen such a big snow in the north?

At first, I was a little excited, but after watching it for a long time, the freshness receded, and there was only worry about the people in my heart.

"The snow is heavy, I don't know how the people should spend this winter......"

Although it is said that the snow is a good year, but the snow is too big, that is the snow disaster, and the quality of the people's houses is not good, and I don't know how many people's houses are crushed by the snow every winter. Without a sheltered house, how can I survive such a cold winter?

Qian Su's brows were dyed with sadness, on the other hand, Feng Zhen was in a good mood all the way, and even had a drink of Yaxing warm wine, and his cheeks were red.

In the end, he really couldn't stand it anymore, so he explained two sentences and comforted Qian Su.

"Didn't you notice that we didn't see a single corpse on the side of the road as we walked all the way?"

Mo said that the corpses that froze to death outside, they didn't even see a few big living people, and the snow on the official road was cleaned up.

Feng Zhen praised his lord and said with a smile, "The lord is lenient and treats the people very well, how can they not even have a good winter? This year's heavy snow is not too big, and the people have already had a charter to deal with it." Even if the houses where the people live are crushed by the snow, the government will place them in a place of refuge, and if they return when the houses are repaired, they will not be allowed to have three long and two short. ”

Outsiders can't talk about it as much as what they see with their own eyes, and Feng Zhen said with a smile, "You'll know when you enter the city." ”

In fact, there is no need to enter the city, and Qian Su also knows that his worries are a little redundant.

After entering Maruzhou, Qian Su found a very strange phenomenon, there are always villages near the official road, and the houses in these villages are still neat, like a multiple brother born from a mother's womb. You must know that in the people's villages, the houses are built in a variety of ways, not only the appearance is not good-looking, the quality is not solid, and the location is also messy. These villages are different, neat and tidy, and it is comfortable to look at.

Not only that, but from time to time he saw people climbing on rooftops to clear the snow.

It was a little far away, and he couldn't see the appearance of the people clearly, but he could see that the other party was dressed very thickly, enough to keep out the cold.

Feng Zhen explained to him, "The villages near the official road are all newly built by the government to recruit displaced people, most of these people are displaced people, and some of them are people from deep mountain villages, who have migrated down from the mountains through the government. It was built near the official road, in fact, it was also for their convenience in transporting grain, and through the extension of the official road, the people could transport the agricultural goods accumulated at home to various places for sale. ”

Not far from the mountains, there is also farmland that has been carved out, where people can cultivate and recuperate and be self-sufficient.

Of course, the maintenance of official roads is also carried out by these villages in turn, for example, in the winter snow, each is responsible for cleaning a certain section of the road.

At the end of the winter, the government will allocate a certain amount of money and grain or plant plants for spring planting to the people in these villages.

Qian Sudao, "It is difficult to leave the homeland, will they be willing to leave the place where their ancestors have lived for generations?"

"At first, some people were really unwilling, and even suspected that there was some conspiracy in it. Feng Zhen said with a smile, "Dongqing has also experienced several years of war, and the people have suffered greatly. The government has moved places and houses for them, and has given them fertile land, spring seeds, farm tools, and ploughing cattle, but who will really stick to the old place and refuse to move their nests? As long as some people in a village become rich, others will be tempted no matter how stubborn they are. The Lord has great goodness in his heart, and these people are not ignorant of good and evil......"

Except for a few henchmen, no one knows what kind of big chess Jiang Pengji is playing.

After hearing this, Qian Su agreed with Feng Zhen's statement, Jiang Pengji is indeed a benevolent master. It is really rare to spend so much manpower, material and financial resources just to let the people live a good life and live in a good house. Many princes only know how to develop themselves, squeeze more capital from the people to compete for the world, it is rare to have such a prince willing to sacrifice their own interests for the benefit of the people.

The more he understood, the more ashamed Qian Su felt for his former self.

Prejudice is really incredible!

Feng Zhen listened to Qian Su's words, but smiled silently.

It is true that Jiang Pengji has benefited the people, but this construction plan is not just for the people.

Because of the troubled times, many people were born unable to register their household registration, and they belonged to black households, and they naturally could not conduct population inspections without household registration.

Without accurate demographics, how will tax laws be enforced in the future?

The relocation of the people to fixed villages, the counting of the population, and the arrangement of household registration are not only for the benefit of the people, but also for the purpose of unified management of the people and ensuring social order. These houses are not given away, but are still rented to the people at a low price, encouraging the people to produce and create value, and then buy the permanent residence right of the house from the government...... These are invisible demographic dividends.

In Marushu, such villages abound.

These villages were all built around cultivated land and roads built by the government, ranging from 40 or 50 households per village to 100 households per village.

Of course, none of these constructions can be accomplished overnight, and it is basically to repair a village and move a group of people.

At first, the people were reluctant, but then they all craned their necks, hoping for the stars and the moon, hoping that it would be their turn.

The car continued to roll forward, and it didn't take long to see the tall and majestic Xiangyang.

It is no longer much of a county to say that it is a county, and the permanent population here is even larger than that of the largest state capital, and the city is constantly expanding outward.

Of course, these expansions have charters.

After entering the city and seeing the neat houses in the city, Qian Su fell silent again.

If he knew that there was a word in the world called "obsessive-compulsive disorder", he would probably be able to understand the feelings in his heart.

Whether it is village construction or city construction, is the obsessive-compulsive disorder of the principal in an incurably late stage?

The house should be neat and uniform, the decoration of the eaves should be exactly the same, the building specifications should not be different, and even the green bricks on the ground should be in accordance with certain rules...... Because Jiang Pengji was in the Huangshui Huimeng Amway green brick production method, many princes also began to toss when they went back, but they didn't like it, the green bricks were not very beautiful and neat, but Xiangyang is different here!!

If you stay in such a neat place for a long time, it is estimated that even your personality will be subtly transformed.
