Faced with hundreds of acres of land, the Jia family was not calm.

Their family had never had so much land, and before the Jia family had yet to settle in their new home, Jia Zhengmao's two brothers made a request to split the family.

The matter was caused by how to distribute the homestead of their family, Jia Zhengmao planned to enclose the homestead with an earthen wall first, and then build a house inside the wall, but his two brothers resolutely refused to do it, and asked each family to surround each family.

This is clearly the rhythm of the separation, Jia Zhengmao can't put forward any rebuttal opinions in the face of the requirements of the two brothers, for a big family, the separation is a common thing, the brothers will be separated when they are older, there was no division in the country before, because the family business is not big enough, and it is very likely that it will not be enough to eat, but now it is different, there are 300 acres of land, who can't see it?

If you want to divide the family, you can't divide it evenly according to the household, you have to divide it according to the head, because the current land is distributed by the state to the Jia family according to the head.

Jia Zhengmao proposed a distribution plan, although his two brothers were not happy, but there was no way, they also knew that the land was divided according to the head, and it was most reasonable for them to divide it according to the head, but neither of them had an advantage.

The fifty-acre residential base was divided into three pieces, after all, they were all brothers, and in the end everyone agreed to enclose the earthen wall first, and the common wall between the three families would be discussed later.

The temporary housing allocated by the state is very simple, and it is very inconvenient for a large family like the Jia family to live, so they can only build their own houses day and night.

The building materials brought by the ship were used to build the wharf, and the Jia family must not have received the building materials such as reinforced concrete, so they could only build earthen walls.

The West Coast had a much more difficult start than the East Coast, where the Dutch had been operating for more than 30 years, and Chang'an, formerly known as New Amsterdam, was bought by the Dutch from the Indians in 1626.

Xinxiang is a wilderness where Chinese pioneers must build their own homes from scratch.

To build a wall must first lay the foundation, the Jia family quarreled over how deep the foundation was, his two brothers wanted to live in a new home as soon as possible, so they did not consider the foundation deep, Jia Zhengmao considered the problem more long-term, he thought that the wall must be five meters high, even if the earthen wall is not built to five meters now, but the foundation must be considered in the long run.

It was difficult for the three families to agree on their opinions, so they had to sweep the snow in front of each family, and each family managed the walls of each family.

Jia Zhengmao led his five sons and more than ten grandsons to dig the foundation of the wall, they fought for three days and three nights in a row, only to dig a quarter of the entire foundation, and after digging the foundation to build the wall, Jia Zhengmao thought that the construction period was too long, which would delay the relocation, and the place where they live now is too simple, in case of rain, it will bring them very inconvenience.

"What should I do?" Jia Zhengmao, who was shoveling soil, put down the shovel and looked at the sky, "When will we be able to build the house if we do this?" ”

His youngest son, Jia Chongwen, said: "Dad, it's better for us to divide the manpower into two groups, one to build a fence and the other to build a house, so that neither of them will delay the work." ”

Jia Zhengmao admires his youngest son's idea very much, and his favorite is this youngest son, and he insists that his youngest son will become a great man in the future.

Jia Zhengmao took decisive measures, he took the eldest Jia Chongguang's family to continue to build the wall, and the second Jia Chongyao, the third Jia Chongming, the fourth Jia Chongze and the fifth Jia Chongwen began to build the house.

Building materials were needed to build a house, and Jia Zhengmao asked his youngest son, Jia Chongwen, to go to the reclamation corps to get some timber back.

Jia Chongwen was ordered to go to the reclamation corps, and under the guidance of others, he came to the Xinxiang wharf, where the temporary office of the reclamation corps was located.

Jia Chongwen explained his intention to the director of the office, whose surname was Ma, and he spread his hands in embarrassment and said: "We have not been notified of this, saying that we will solve the wood problem for you." ”

"Director Ma, how can we build a house without wood?"

In this case, you go back first, we will report the situation to the above, and as soon as there is news, I will personally go to the door to inform you. Director Ma said very enthusiastically.

"How can this be?" Jia Chongwen's dissatisfied expression was revealed.

Director Ma said apologetically: "I'm sorry, this is a mistake in our work, and I apologize to you." ”

With all the words said and done, Jia Chongwen had no choice but to go back and wait for news.

Director Ma of the office did not dare to delay, and as soon as Jia Chongwen left, he got on the speedboat and boarded the "Jinling No. 1" to report the situation to Ma Wen.

Marven was in the leisure hall on the second floor of "Jinling No. 1", discussing things with Gao Junshan, he heard that Director Ma of the office of the reclamation corps was looking for him, so he was about to go out to have a look, Gao Junshan stopped him: "Marven, you let that director in, I also want to hear what is going on." ”

Soon, Director Ma came to the lounge.

"What's the matter?" Marven asked.

As soon as Director Ma saw that the emperor was also there, he hurriedly saluted Gao Junshan: "The student greets the mountain chief!" ”

Gao Junshan said: "No need to be polite. ”

Marven pointed to a chair and said, "What is there to sit down and say!" ”

Director Ma said: "Don't sit down, just one thing, I want to report to the governor, our reclamation team is short of timber to build a house, and they can't build a house without timber, can we give them a part of the timber from the wharf to solve their housing problem?" ”

Marven said embarrassedly: "The construction of the wharf comes first, and we can't delay the construction of the wharf for other reasons." ”

Gao Junshan spoke: "The construction of the wharf is important, and the housing of our people cannot be delayed. It is possible to set aside a part of the timber from the shipyard to own the building house. ”

Marven said: "The emperor has approved it, you send me a report, and I will give you approval immediately." ”

Director Ma thanked him and said, "The next official will do it!" ”

After Director Ma left, Gao Junshan and Marven continued their conversation.

Now it has entered October, and the news from London has come that China and Britain and the Netherlands have signed the "Breda Peace Treaty" in Breda, the Netherlands, according to which China and Britain have relaxed the "Navigation Regulations" against the Netherlands, and sold part of their commercial and trade interests to the Netherlands, and the territories occupied by the Chinese state in the Americas and Africa will belong to China forever, and the three countries have formally established an alliance.

After the signing of the Peace of Breda, the Dutch received the news that New Amsterdam had been captured by the Chinese state, and at this time they wanted to return to New Amsterdam, that is, Chang'an in China, but it was too late, because with the Peace of Breda in front of them, they had to admit that the land they bought from the Indians belonged to the Great Huaxia.

After the occupation of New Amsterdam, Makin carried out a massacre of all Westerners, in order to prevent these people from returning to report and to impose a strict information blockade on the Netherlands.

After Li Dingguo occupied Durban in South Africa, he seized the port of East London and Port Elizabeth from the hands of the Dutch, these two ports were still small fishing villages at this time, and they were not called these two names, because Huaxia Kingdom had the nautical charts of later generations, so they followed the place names on the nautical charts.

Ma Wen said: "Father, as soon as the "Breda Peace Treaty" was signed, the Dutch knew that they had suffered a dumb loss, and now he has nowhere to appeal if he wants to get Chang'an back. ”
