Chapter 36: Relief

The neat plots are evenly distributed by the canal in a checkerboard shape, and the water in the ditch is rippling. In addition to the main road paved with concrete, the fields are connected by bamboo bridges, wooden bridges, and stone arch bridges. The newly purchased duck seedlings swim and frolic on the surface of the water, but they look so fresh and cozy!

What's even more eye-catching is that a house has been built on every field!

When they arrived, the field prepared by Xiao Zheng for a few children was surrounded by a transplanted bamboo forest, and the house in the distance was revised and built by Yan Liben after a few children finished painting. Look at the well again, the well is not deep, about fifty or sixty centimeters, there are a few small fish swimming freely in the crystal clear water, so that the water is also full of vitality as if it is alive, the pavilion built with bamboo by the well is refreshing and pleasant.

As soon as the three children came in, the sound of wow and wow never stopped, and Ji Chunhe and the others, who followed Xiao Zheng, also saw it.

"You make the farmland like this, are you farming or gardening?" Ji Chun looked around and asked.

"How good is this, you can still see the scenery when you are tired of farming, who said that you can't plant a garden in the farmland."

"I'll see how you divide these fields in a while," Ji Chun asked gloatingly.

This is really a troublesome matter, as soon as the road is repaired and the house is built, it is strange that the farmer is not anxious to see that the field is more beautiful than his own, knowing that Lord Xiao loves the people like a son, he has run to the front to ask for land, and he wants this land for money.

Some big businessmen and wealthy families in Yangzhou City also jumped out to join in the fun after seeing it, saying that they wanted to buy land, and some even offered a price of 100 yuan to ask for a piece of land.

I have no choice but to draw lots, and the more than 300 homeowners who won the lottery are happy, and those who can't catch them are scolding and scolding, until Lord Xiao releases his words, and then continue to open up the wasteland after the New Year, and those who are not caught will register first, and give priority to these people next year to appease them.

After this person moved in, Xiao Zheng recruited them and only emphasized one point, they must pay attention to public morality, there will be patrols every day, if someone finishes farm work and litters the garbage, they will be warned for the first time, and the second time the contract right will be cancelled and driven away directly.

Although he is a farmer, who wants to live in such a house and plant such a land, if there is land to tidy up the field, a few leaves on the cement road are picked up, and when he steps on the mud, he is quickly washed away by the water, and no one wants to live in such a good place and be driven out.

Slowly wandering in the fields, Xiao Zheng said to Wu Shi Tong: "See, a good environment can completely change people, these farmers are now behaving worse than scholars, and after the spring, we will invite a few doctors of farming and breeding to teach these people, and we will be ready to do a big job after spring next year."

"Xia Guan will do his best for my Tang Dynasty," Wu Shi Tong said with a salute to Xiao Zheng.

"Lao Wu, let's talk about some personal matters, your family's timber has made a lot of money when building roads," Xiao Zheng asked.

"Don't hide it from Xiao Gong, I did make a lot of money with your light," Wu Shi Tong looked at the surrounding people and said a number next to Xiao Zheng.

"Okay, I'll tell you another way to make money....... Xiao Zheng said with a smile.

"Thank you, Lord, for your support," Samurai said excitedly.

"Remember, the biggest shareholder here is Qingque, understand? and let Lao Xu, Pei Mingli...."Xiao Zheng said a few more people.

"The lower official understands, and the lower official is ready to do it."

Before returning to the city and entering the mansion, the family came over and said that there was an old Taoist waiting for Xiao Zheng.

"Who? Wang Yuanzhi? ”。

Since this guy came to Xiao Zheng's side, he has been chattering and complaining that Xiao Zheng demolished his family too many Taoist temples and bled out to pay for it, which is very unfair.

Until Xiao Zheng couldn't stand it anymore and threw out the record book of collecting Fa Lin's money, the old guy instantly regained his balance after reading the numbers above, and his bitter gourd face immediately turned into a chrysanthemum plate of schadenfreude. After a few polite words, he took the disciples of Jiangnan Sect to the island with the statue of Lao Jun, Xiao Zheng has not seen anyone since then, could it be that he ran back today?

As soon as he entered the living room with questions and saw the Taoist on the chair, Xiao Zheng couldn't believe his eyes, and after rubbing it, he shouted in ecstasy: "Daoist Sun! Why did you come here?! ”

It turned out that Sun Simiao Dao had arrived in Yangzhou!

Sun Simiao got up and didn't say anything after seeing Xiao Zheng, walked up to Xiao Zheng with a straight face and knelt down with a "bang"!

"Dao Chief, what are you doing here?" Xiao Zheng didn't think about it, so he knelt straight in front of Sun Simiao.

"Lao Dao's kneeling is to worship the people of the world, thank you for finding a way to restrain the sores for the people of the world, but your character is still not recognized, fortunately, you have done a lot of good things for the people in Jiangnan, and Lao Dao will forgive you."

"As long as the Taoist is willing to forgive, you let the kid do whatever you want, you sit down first, it's about to be dinner time, the kid will cook you a few dishes" Xiao Zheng was so happy that he ran to the kitchen.

When I entered the kitchen, I saw that several cooks were busy, so I pulled the cooks aside, looked at the dishes on the board, picked up the kitchen knives and got busy. Seeing that the cook was stupid, he knew that this master's cooking skills were amazing, but which guest had such a big face that could make the prince in charge?

When I had the courage to ask if it was Sun Lao Immortal who came, I immediately understood, so I would do it myself.

Soon five or six side dishes were on the table, Xiao Zheng knew that Sun Daochang liked to be quiet, and he didn't look for anyone else, but just called the three children Li Tai, Xiao Changning and Hongyu over, Li Tai and Xiao Changning had known Sun Daochang for a long time, and listened to Xiao Zheng finish the situation when Hongyu was introduced. Sun Changdao sighed, patted Hongyu's head and let the three children go to the table, but kept giving Hongyu cloth dishes during the banquet.

"This lotus root clip is well done, and this Houttuynia cordata sprouts are also good to eat cold, this thing goes to the fire, I can see that you kid has a heart" Sun Daochang said with satisfaction.

"As long as you eat well, the Taoist Chief" Seeing that Sun Simiao was finally willing to talk to him since Xuanwumen, Xiao Zheng was also very happy.

After rinsing his mouth, Sun Daochang said: "The people in your family are very good, Jin'er's medical skills are not much worse than yours now, and your mother is also in good health, and now she is holding your son every day." Isn't it almost the New Year, the saint and your family are worried that you and a few children are homesick, so they brought a few boats of things, and Lao Dao is also very quiet, so he followed the boat."

After Sun Daochang finished speaking, he took out a stack of letters from his arms and said, "These are all letters to you people, and there are yours in them."

I flipped through it casually, there were Li Shimin and the eldest grandson wrote to Li Tai, and Xiao Hai wrote to Xiao Changning, found the letter written by Jin'er to himself from inside, tore open the seal and pulled out a few pieces of paper, opened a large piece of paper, and saw a fat child's portrait on the paper, looking at the penmanship, you can know that it was painted by Jin'er, and there is a red handprint and footprint at the bottom, which is the portrait of Xiao Lu at a glance.

Looking at the portrait of his son, Xiao Zheng's tears almost fell, it was almost a year in a blink of an eye, the only way to contact him in this era was letters, not even a photo, he was usually busy and didn't want to go home, and it was strange that he didn't want to go home during the holidays.

"Okay, you kid is so old, don't wipe your tears in front of the children, this year's old Tao will accompany you for the New Year, and I am ready to stay in Jiangnan for a while longer."

"That's great!" Xiao Yin said happily.
