Ji Xinyu led the horse, asked a few guards to feed a few dying people some food and helped the horse, and then walked slowly forward with more than a hundred people, perhaps the temptation to survive was too great, and the homeless people were not walking slowly.

When they arrived at Lingchuan Mansion, He Xingwang had already sent someone to set up a porridge shed at the intersection, and the homeless people lined up to lead the porridge under the guidance of the guards.

"Don't worry, there will be more after eating, you will definitely be full." Looking at a pair of eyes staring at the iron pot, Liu Qin next to him shouted loudly with tears in his eyes.

The villagers of Rulin Village on the opposite side saw so many homeless people gobbling up porridge, many of them showed sad expressions, and occasionally wiped the corners of their eyes, they should also have had a similar experience, seeing that there were too many homeless guards and the cooks of the pawn restaurant were a little too busy, these villagers also took the initiative to come over to help distribute the porridge, or tidy up the temporary shed where the craftsmen were originally housed.

Ji Xinyu's heart is also very shocked, although the surrounding villages are not rich, but they are barely able to eat, and now looking at these homeless people Ji Xinyu really realizes that this society can really starve to death.

"Steward He, you can arrange a few powerful guards to go around to see if there are any homeless people, and bring them all here." Ji Xinyu looked at the scene in front of him and said to He Xingwang beside him.

"But young master, we have just gained a foothold here, and in the long run, it seems that these more than 100 people can barely support it, and it will be difficult to settle it no matter how much it is." He Xingwang said with some embarrassment.

"Our Lingchuan Mansion has just been opened, and everything is waiting to be rebuilt, it is when people are needed, there are many people who are not afraid, we can feed them." Ji Xinyu said confidently.

"Yes!" Seeing that He Xingwang took the order, Ji Xinyu organized people to arrange where they lived, and asked the doctor of the palace to come over to see if there were any sick people, and specially explained that people arranged for the homeless people to distribute soap and bathe.

Because a lot of houses have been built in Lingchuan Mansion, the previous resettlement site outside the woods has been vacated, just to give these homeless people a place to live, and at night, the guards really brought back forty or fifty scattered homeless, and Ji Xinyu also let people resettle.

Early the next morning, the homeless people who had finished breakfast gathered together uneasily, and the guards pasted the notice written by Ji Xinyu on the notice board at the intersection and asked people to read it to the homeless people. After reading the notice, some literate villagers loudly conveyed to the surrounding homeless people: "Folks, it was the prince of Shu who saved you yesterday, this is the newly opened Lingchuan Mansion, the prince said, you will live here in the future, you don't have to wander around anymore, and someone will lead you to work in various places later, and you will have three meals a day." ”

Hearing these words, the displaced people below finally settled down, there is food to eat, and there is no need to be driven out to eat tree bark and Guanyin soil. The settled-out homeless, led by the guards, were arranged to help at various locations under construction.

Ji Xinyu inquired about the origin of these displaced people, and also knew about the war that took place on the other side of the sea, Ji Xinyu asked Chen Yu to send additional men to strengthen the patrol in the northern coastal direction.

With more than 200 people, Ji Xinyu decided to open up two more layers of fields along the river, totaling 600 acres. The peasants' attachment to the land in this era is incomprehensible, and only with enough land can they truly feel at ease. Looking at the busy figures, the original wasteland was gradually divided under the measurement of the villagers, and Ji Xinyu could also feel the desire for life of these homeless people who had just had something to eat.

After this period of construction, the road from the limestone mine to Lingchuan Province has been half repaired, but the middle part will have to wait for a day or two to dry before it can be officially used. The land here is not valuable, so the road is much wider, and now half of the road is six or seven meters wide, enough for horse-drawn carriages to transport back and forth. The other half of the road had not yet started, and the 20 artisans and 50 villagers had just joined the expansion of the resettlement houses for the displaced people in the woods.

This time, Ji Xinyu gave new drawings for the resettlement of displaced people, which is a new way of building houses. In the open space outside the cement workshop, there are also objects that do not belong to this era - cement slabs, which are made of fixed steel bars within the framework of the wooden structure, and then poured with cement with plant fibers, and the steel bars in the cement slabs are 4 meters long, which are made by Aiden and placed in the warehouse, and the workers can use them in the warehouse.

In order to speed up the construction of the house, Ji Xinyu taught the craftsmen the way of building a reinforced concrete structure, and at the same time built the foundation, he also let people build a reinforced concrete slab, and after the first floor was built, the cement slab could just be used. After the foundation is built according to the drawings, as long as the load-bearing columns and load-bearing walls of the reinforced concrete structure are built, the bricks can be stacked up quickly.

Build to the second floor, and then use pulleys and wooden frames to lift the cement slab on the shelf, so that there is no need to lay the floor on the second floor, saving the time of most carpenters to make materials, carpenters only need to put the roof on the top, and install doors and windows everywhere. Finally, the inside and outside of the house are plastered with cement walls, and the inside is painted with lime once to complete. The three-row two-story building can be completed in more than a month with the efforts of dozens of craftsmen and villagers, and with the time of cleaning and drying, it can be moved in in two months.

Half a month later, looking at the first row of small buildings that had been basically formed and the cement floor that had begun to be used, He Xingwang, the housekeeper who followed Ji Xinyu, said with emotion: "The young master is really going to create miracles, such a flat road is much smoother than the stone road, and such a fast method of repairing the building, it is the first time I have seen it, which is really eye-opening." ”

Ji Xinyu smiled and said: "Steward He, this is just the beginning, we want to build Lingchuan Mansion into the best town nearby, more comfortable than Qiongzhou City." ”

"Young Master, you are ambitious, old and admired, but ...... If we start to open up mines and take in displaced people with such fanfare, will anyone come to find trouble? He Xingwang thought worriedly.

Ji Xinyu shook his head and said: "No, at least not for the time being, most of the people involved in the development of iron mines and coal mines in us now are nearby villagers, I have also talked to them, I believe they will not say it casually, let alone the new homeless people, and other people outside can rarely go inside to find out." However, we do need to plan the workshop area and build a fence to separate the workshop area from the rest of the world, so that it will be more difficult for information to leak out. He didn't say that he had an Aiden robot, it was an existence that could cheat, the miners in the mine had been directly or indirectly increased in loyalty by him, and Ji Xinyu also made it clear not to reveal the iron ore matter, and it is estimated that they and their families would not talk about what they saw here.

Ji Xinyu pointed in the direction of the limestone mine again, and continued: "As for the limestone mine and gypsum mine, don't worry, these are not rare minerals, they are available in many places, local villagers and craftsmen want to build houses, and many of them are found by themselves to be burned into triad soil, and no one will come to trouble us for these." ”

He Xingwang nodded and said, "The young master is thoughtful, but you still have to be careful." ”

Ji Xinyu nodded and said: "What you said also makes sense, no one is looking for trouble now, it doesn't mean that no one is looking for trouble in the future, we still have to make ourselves strong as soon as possible." ”

Back in Lingchuan Mansion, Ji Xinyu began to walk around the workshop area, after He Xingwang's reminder, Ji Xinyu felt that the area of the workshop area should be planned first, and the wall should be built outside. After looking around, I discussed with Aiden again, and finally decided to leave fifteen meters from the intersection to build a warehouse to the outside, and the remaining six hundred meters long and five hundred meters wide will be fenced off and set up as a workshop area.

Ji Xinyu used lime to set the position at several points, and let two stonemasons and five helpers to build a wall according to these points, because there is a mine in the north, as long as two doors are left on three sides, so as long as the foundation is laid, the construction speed of this wall is very fast.

After arranging the completion of the Fang area, Ji Xinyu turned around and saw the paddy field reclamation area along the river in the east, because the first batch of fields along the river were only developed, only about 200 acres, and now these lands have been formed and planted with rice. The land that has been developed by the displaced people in the past half month is now basically taking shape, and many people are turning the ground and clearing weeds.
