Uncle Liu agreed with a bitter face, knowing that this was also a necessary measure.

The most important thing in epidemic prevention is isolation, which is also something that Nan Anhou has emphasized many times in his proclamation.

Now the Hou Mansion will publish a newspaper every three days, which will be released by the cardinal room of the Secretariat's Pavilion, mainly to tell about the recent movements and various measures of the Hou Mansion, as well as to relay some of the Great Wei's Mansion Newspaper Tang copy, and some Xu Zixian's instructions and other things, will also be printed on it, and the officials of each hundred households will convene hundreds of households to listen to the preaching.

This is a newspaper of another level, the population here in the Eastern Domain is small, especially the gentry class has not yet been formed, and only the officials of the Nan'an Hou Mansion can barely count.

There are not many merchants either, and the resident merchants are even rarer.

There is no need to run a newspaper, the cost is large, the audience is small, and now this practice is enough.

Liu Shujing consciously held on, but he also knew that there was no way to violate the decree of the prince, so he had to sign the official document submitted by the small official, his signature was learned more than half a year ago, but the writing was square, but the last stroke was a little strong, and the charcoal pen with the thickness of the little thumb was folded.

"It doesn't matter." The little official frowned and said: "We have more than a dozen of them, but this thing is more convenient than a brush, but it is easy to break." I heard that Fu Sicao is researching better ones, so it would be good if he made it. ”

Then the little official asked if there were any other people in the village who had a fever, and when he heard that there were two more, he also frowned, and then rode directly to the seventeen hundred households.

Liu Baihu and the other two who had a fever had to leave Zhuangzi before tonight and go to the isolation center to report, and they were not allowed to come out until the fever subsided.

"The hundred household officials are relieved." Li Guozhu and others comforted: "There are many people who have entered the isolation center, and they are well fed and fed, wouldn't it be good to come out for nothing?" ”

"We will work hard, and there are still industrial officials and agricultural officials in the absence of hundreds of households, so we will not make mistakes."

"At the end of the year, my family will definitely invest in 100 red beans, and 100 households will not leave their positions if they have a fever.

The last reassuring words are what Liu Baihu likes to listen to the most, even if he has a fever at the moment, he can't help but smile, and thank the person who spoke again and again.

When Liu Shujing was a military pawn, he had two monthly salaries, and later learned to be counted as an official, and his monthly salaries rose to four times.

Now I think that the monthly income of 100 household officials has risen to 6 guan, plus benefits, and the annual income is nearly 100 guan.

This income is not worse than that of Great Wei officials, and the welfare benefits in all aspects are also quite good.

The prince also promised that when the trade with the Wa Kingdom and other places improved in the future, the income of the Hou Mansion would increase, and the officials would continue to raise their salaries, because at that time, the annual income of the common people was also dozens of times on average, and the income of the officials, according to the concept of the prince and the prince, according to the grade, still exceeded the people a lot.

Otherwise, the officials will be psychologically unbalanced, and if they can't get it, they will find a way to loot it from the people, which is not good.

Now the average income of the people of the Eastern Domain can reach more than ten guan, and the income of a hundred household officials is about five or six times that of ordinary people, Liu Shujing feels quite content, if he can often be an official, or even go to the next level, he will be content for the rest of his life.

……

Liu Baihu's departure did not affect others, and after everyone gathered, more than 1,000 people formed a huge queue like a long dragon.

More are horses, mules, horses, donkeys and cattle add up to more than 500 heads, mules and horses are tied in one place, soon full of dung, many mules and horses are carrying grass behind them, the officials who take turns raising mules and horses are assigned by veterinarians and agricultural officials to feed these large animals with bean feed, before doing things, the veterinary officer ordered to feed raw eggs to each mule and horse, two horses, one mule and donkey, these big guys are licking the eggs and eating the shell, and some are still unfinished.

This made many people envious, and many women were red-eyed and laughed and cursed at these big animals.

Although everyone is living a good life now, they can usually eat enough, they eat a mixture of refined grains and miscellaneous grains, and many people have begun to raise chickens...... Before that, raising chickens is not every household has the ability, raising chickens is purely free-range, eating grass and eating is also possible, but many days do not lay eggs, because of unbalanced nutrition, especially in the winter after autumn, if the chicken has nothing to eat, it will be emaciated, let alone lay eggs.

Raising chickens requires leftovers, or specially bought feed, the key is that chickens still have to pay taxes, and pay a lot of money, which makes many families simply give up.

In the Eastern Domain, everyone already has enough food, but raising chickens is still a huge investment, you have to be determined and ruthless, eggs are even more valuable, most people have collected and sold them for money, only if there are children at home, they will cook two every few days to make up for the children's bodies.

In this era, eggs, a protein-rich food, are indeed the best nutrition.

People are reluctant to eat things, but they are supplied to the livestock in large quantities, but people are laughing and scolding a few times at most, everyone knows that if these big guys can't eat concentrate, there are no eggs to supplement nutrition, so if they go on, they will be thin and weak after a while, and they can't do too much work.

After the workers were measuring the distance according to the drawings and demarcating the boundaries of the land to be started, then the hundreds of households were scattered, and under the assignment of the workers and all the officials, some of the strong men began to dig the open ditch by the roadside with shovels and shovels, which were used to drain the raised dirt road.

There are also drainage ditches on the official roads of Dawei, but if they are used for a long time and cannot be maintained normally, the rammed earth layer will soon be pressed down by people and cars and horses.

The standard of rammed earth roads in the Eastern Domain is still relatively high, and layers of soil are stacked on top of each other, mixed with old soil, lime, and screw shells, and repeatedly rammed.

The newly repaired rammed earth road is also extremely hard and strong, even if it rains, you can't step on the footprints, and the big car passing by is also a shallow rut mark, which will not be pressed too deep into the roadbed.

This kind of road has to be repeatedly tamped, and it will not work if it is not maintained after a long time.

However, the cost of the initial construction is very low, and the cost of building a mile of road plus manpower will not exceed 40 yuan if it is built to a high standard.

It took less than 20 days to build dozens of miles of road, and the cost did not exceed 2,000 yuan, which was quite cost-effective.

Under the command and promotion of the officials, everyone dispersed.

Li Guozhu and the strong men of several other families walked to the demarcated cooked soil area, which is also a burned plot.

The pad soil should be cooked soil, and the soil in the burned area is quite suitable.

The lots were divided, and a large number of mules and horses had been set up in carts by the old and weak and the women, and were driven to wait.

Some Ding Zhuang dug trenches on both sides of the road foundation, and many more excavated in the cooked soil area.

The cart then hauls the cooked soil to the roadbed and places it on both sides of the road.

When the more than 300 miles of the official road around the island were built, almost everyone was familiar with the work at hand and the entire process of road construction.

Li Guozhu and others all know that at this time, there will be dozens of lime ponds of different sizes not far away, and there will be non-stop burning and stirring lime.

There are also people in the workshop by the sea, hauling the crushed snail shells to the monastery site here, ready to be used in the final stage.

The whole process is quite familiar to everyone, and in some places near the river, small waterproof dikes are built to prevent the water from washing away the road during floods.

In addition, the planting of willow elm trees helped to strengthen the doji, and after a few years, with the climate of the Eastern Domain, these trees grew quickly and became large shade trees.

Everyone is quite familiar with doing the work in their own hands, Li Guozhu and others are in the prime of life, after eating enough, the strength in their bodies is sufficient, and the iron tools in their hands are also excellent, the shovel is extremely well-made, the spade mouth is extremely sharp, and it can even be used as a weapon for slashing.

Of course, these iron tools have never been clad in steel, now steel production is not easy, the price is quite expensive, only the best weapons will have clad steel, the reeds of the god arm bow and bed crossbow are point steel, and there are some utensils that need to be made of steel or clad steel.

The price of a pound of steel is always a lot of money, if the farm tools are wrapped in steel, how much money is not enough to spend.

While everyone was working intently, a small group of cavalry galloped through the distance, straight in the direction of the harbor to the southwest.

Someone had sharp eyes and said, "Is it the prince?" ”

More people looked at the past, Xu Zixian has been patrolling between the roads and newly dug water conservancy channels between hundreds of households for a while, almost everyone knows him, surrounded by more than 30 horsemen and a few officials, but who is not Xu Zixian?

Many people can't help but clench their fists and bow down, although they can see that Nan'anhou is in a hurry, from this wasteland area into the official road around the island, and then go straight down to the straight road to the port, it can be seen that there should be something to do with the seaside wharf, but this does not prevent people from expressing their admiration.

It is this prince who has brought them to today's life step by step, and in the hearts of many people, Nan'an Hou is no longer an ordinary prince, but a real master.

It can be said that it is the son of the Great Wei Dynasty, and in the hearts of the people, he is no match for the status of Nan'an Hou Xu Zixian.

"Fathers don't need to be polite." Xu Zixian galloped all the way, waving to the people of Guanzhuang who were building roads or digging river mud along the way.

On both sides of the straight road leading to the harbor, there are large lime ponds and tile kiln factories, as well as carpentry factories, all of these factories are directly managed by the workshops of the Hou Mansion, the craftsmen start to pay for work, everyone places their families on the island, a few months have passed, many people have completely settled down to do things, when Xu Zixian passed by, several large chimneys are emitting black smoke, many small workers are working hard under the leadership of the masters.

The cotton field area, the settlement, the future barren rice field area, as well as the commercial area, the storage area, the military camp area from Huaxi to Nan'anxi, the military fort of each defense point, the arrow tower, when rushing forward along this road, the scenery everywhere is like a landscape picture, pouring into Xu Zixian's eyes.

Xu Zixian's heart couldn't help but gush out of a sense of pride.

All these things have changed since he arrived on the island, and he has made a perfect painting on a blank piece of paper.

There are no regrets, no shortcomings, and nothing to regret.
