Under the guidance of Yan Shun, Wu Da took Wu Song and others to gallop on this vast land.

There are hills, plains, clear springs, rivers, everything, if it is not not far from Dulonggang and Liangshanbo, provoked the strong and strong, and the strongmen are infested, then such a large piece of unique wonder, can never allow Wuda to buy.

Not to mention, even so, if it weren't for the strong support and coordination of Dongping Mansion, Wuda would not be able to take this land.

No matter how rich you are, you can't do it.

But it's nothing anymore.

All the difficulties have ended, and all that remains is to build a large Zhuangzi on this land, which is the foundation of Wuda.

The Song Dynasty had different economic forms, models and characteristics from the Han and Tang dynasties. Manifested in the city, it is the market; Manifested in the countryside, it is the manor.

The manor house is characterized by a large and two rich people covering an area of ten miles, and it is full of fertile soil and rivers running through it. There are as many as 100 tenants, with high-rise buildings and large courtyards, and there is plenty of food and clothing. In the Western Zhou Dynasty, this was already the size of a state.

A typical manor of the Song Dynasty is an official road in front and a Xigang in the back. The week was covered with green wisps like smoke, and the green shade seemed to be dyed in all directions. The horns of the house are full of cattle and sheep, and the wheat field is full of chickens and ducks. The peach and willow outside the wall are green, and the people inside the wall are thriving. The owner of the village sits in the thatched hall, and there are those villagers inside and outside to take care of it.

Most of the estates were bought, and some were opened up. But either way, the government recognizes it as legitimate and even encourages it. Such a laissez-faire tolerance is unprecedented.

The land policies of previous dynasties emphasized state-owned ownership and inhibited annexation; The Song Dynasty recognized private ownership, did not suppress annexation, and regarded private possession as a treasure for the people and a guard of wealth for the country.

Even so, Wuda can't be too public, if the Zhuangzi is built too big, then it will be overstepped, you can't build a Zhuangzi larger than the scale of the county seat, the city wall is still high, that's not good.

Walls can be built, even very high, but they must not be extensive.

Therefore, Wu Da stool was divided into parts, and on this land, a large Zhuangzi was set up, which was the general village, and a medium-sized Zhuangzi was set up in the southeast, northwest, and northwest, which was divided into two villages, and the five villages were integrated into one, forming a defense group that relied on each other in a circular manner.

Of course, the general village is led by Wu Da, named Zhongyi Village, each in order, Wu Song and the second owner, Yan Shun is the third owner, Jiao Ting is the fourth owner, and Zheng Tianshou is the fifth owner.

Beizhuang is called Dahuzhuang, and Zhao Ping's father, Zhao Taigong, serves as the owner.

Nanzhuang is called Nanxi Village, and Dong He's father, Dong Taigong, serves as the owner.

Xizhuang is called Xilinzhuang, and Liu Li's father, Mrs. Liu, serves as the owner.

Dongzhuang is called Dongqiu Village, and Hou Shan's father, Hou Taigong, serves as the owner.

But these owners are actually nominal, and the five villages are one, and they are unified by Wuda.

Each of the five Zhuangzi is protected by a wall, an arrow tower and a guard tower, like a dock fort, which can only be built by a wealthy family for generations, but the wealth of Wuda is unparalleled and enough to build.

However, there is no need to connect the Zhuangzi with walls, otherwise, it will form a large city system, and if it exceeds the system, no matter how much money is used to cover it, it will also be bad.

It can be said that the design of Wuda is basically based on the idea of manors and towns, and has exerted its official position to the extreme.

Such a large construction system requires the recruitment of many manpower, and it takes a lot of effort to build, so Wu Da will start to build from Zongzhuang and Zhongyizhuang.

All the 783 tenants on this land were transferred to Wuhan University.

Although Wuda accepted all the orders, it did not formally sign contracts with these tenants, but wanted to remove the chaff through the process of building the Zhuangzi this time, leaving some tenant families who were willing to endure hardships and being able to do things, and eliminating some tenants who were cheating and cheating, and who were lazy and hardworking.

And it is far from enough to rely on only 780 retail tenants to build Zhongyi Village as soon as possible, but money can be channeled, and Wuda took out a lot of silver taels to recruit surrounding farmers to participate.

Of course, they did not forget to give a benefit to the local yamen officials and promoted the progress of the construction of the village.

Because the wages given by Wuhan University are very good, it attracts a lot of peasant households, and even many laborers in the city are also attracted.

Among them, there were some idlers and scoundrels who wanted to come and make a mess, but they were cleaned up by Wu Song and taken to the Yamen prison one by one, and they were bound to the Yamen prison and imprisoned, and they inevitably endured hardship.

Just kidding, officials at all levels have reaped enough benefits, and everyone in Zhongyizhuang can fight and dare to fight, and they want to extort money to Wuda's head, these scoundrels and idlers are really looking for death.

In addition, Wuhan University also teamed up and cooperated with farmers and hired workers according to their familiarity with each other, and came up with additional bounties to reward the team that did the fastest and best every day, which suddenly improved the efficiency.

This practice of directly rewarding money in front of everyone every day and the practice of paying wages every day are amazing, and everyone is striving to be the first.

Many people are thrilled to earn money that they couldn't earn in the past three or four months in just ten days.

There are many people, and they are all people who have surplus money, and on the territory of Zhongyi Village, there are many merchants and shops who come to negotiate.

In addition to Zhongyi Village, a market specially reserved by Wuhan University has also developed.

Although Zhongyizhuang has not yet been built, it is already on fire in advance.

There are constant vendors every day, and the tax collection of Wuhan University is also very fair, and a new Zhuangzi is in front of you.

All the participants were happy, after all, they were also former participants, and they also received a lot of wages from it.

Wu Song and the others were even more happy, this was their home, a good life they had never imagined, and a place to pass on their families.

Zhao Ping, Dong He and the other five were even more excited, and they were deeply proud of their previous decision to leave Qinghe County to serve Wuda.

Zhongyizhuang stands by the mountains, there are mountains in the north, east and south, and only the west is a large plain, which can be described as a unique place.

The wall is divided into two ways, and Zhongyizhuang is divided into two layers inside and outside, the inner layer is built with bricks and stones, and the outer strength is rammed earth, which is more than one and a half zhang high, meandering, high and thick.

And it is an irregular row, forming a rough oval, in which there are staggered, and there are towering arrow towers between them, forming intersecting firepower points, which are heavily defended.

There are deep trenches dug around the Zhuangzi, and only a village gate in the west of the village can be entered and exited, and a suspension bridge is also built.

It is designed to accommodate 500 households, and according to the calculation of 5 or 6 people in each household, there are also 2,000 or 3,000 people.

Coupled with the residential markets on the periphery, the development ceiling of Zhongyizhuang is definitely considerable.

With such a solid high wall and layout planning, it can be called Dongping County, and it can even be regarded as the first village in the future of Jingxi Road!
