Compared with the distress of the big people, the happiness of ordinary soldiers and ordinary people is real. This is the case in Huangnishan Village, which was first established to house refugees and is now a well-known model village in the vicinity.

With the end of the war, there were fewer and fewer tinkering tasks in the army, but other tasks flourished. The original wounded soldier Mura Zheng had returned to Daming and returned to his own home, and Wang Zunzhi took his place.

Wang Zunzhi was originally an officer of the Qin army, and he was in charge of the village, which was more acceptable to the villagers, and he also brought his management talents into full play.

There are more and more men in the village, Wang Zunzhi built a brick factory in Huangni Mountain, a tile factory, and fired bricks and tiles, and there is a ready-made stone charcoal in Heinishan Village, which is not far from Huangnishan Village.

With bricks and tiles, Wang Zunzhi first began to renovate the houses in the village, the original simple thatched houses, but now they have been replaced with green bricks and blue tiles, because it is a public industry in the village, and it is free to renovate the houses for the villagers. The big guys worked together, with plenty of food and clothing, and in half a year, the whole village was already a new look.

After the renovation of the village, the bricks and tiles that were fired again began to be sold, and the people who fled have begun to return to their homes.

And not far from them in the black mud mountain village, because of the rich coal resources, life is also quite nourishing, the businessman from Xintong set up a beacon furnace workshop in the black mud mountain village, one end sells the stove, the other end sells the beacon coal, the merchant is very shrewd, the first batch of stoves are in the way of gifts, send the stove, buy the beacon coal. This small means made his business quickly spread in this area.

This type of stove has an obvious benefit, and that is convenience. When not in use, close the damper, and a briquette will last for most of the day, and you will always have hot water available. In addition, this stove is much cleaner than that of firewood, and the coal ash turned into after the briquettes are burned is still in the shape of a honeycomb, packed together, and can be used to pave the road in the village.

Many men worked in this workshop, and the blacksmith who made the stove was naturally quite well-paid, and even those who worked as coolies earned a lot of money every day. Being a honeycomb medium, you can earn a penny, a sturdy man is diligent, and there is no problem at all if he does thousands of things a day, which is a thousand Wen, which is converted into silver for one or two. At the end of a month, thirty taels of silver arrived.

Of course, this is only theoretical income. It's not every day that you can get to work, and you have to look at the weather to eat, and if it rains, there will be no place to do it. But on average every month, a dozen taels of silver is appropriate.

For the Qin people, this is a huge amount of income. Many of them, who have worked hard for a year in the past, look at their purses at the end of the year, and they may not be able to have a dozen taels of silver, but now, it is only a month's income.

And now it seems that this kind of stove has a great trend in the Yongdu, and the merchants have begun to sell it in the city, and once the city also starts to use this kind of stove and briquettes, their income will increase again.

After all, using this kind of briquettes and stoves to calculate the general ledger is not only more convenient than buying firewood, but also more affordable.

The people of Heinishan Village have money, so they naturally have to think about improving their living environment, so the bricks and tiles burned in Huangnishan Village also have a place to go.

The former military officer has now been transformed into a successful Muramasa and a successful businessman. He was in charge of the whole village of more than 1,000 people, several brick workshops and several construction teams of houses.

Wang Zunzhi feels that his current life is much more fulfilling and happier than before. Every day, he is extremely happy to see the happy smiles of the villagers, their gradually ruddy faces, and their slowly strengthened bodies. Only occasionally when I think of those comrades-in-arms who died on the battlefield, as well as those orphans and widows, a faint sadness will spring up in my heart, a beautiful day is coming, but the price of this day is really not small!

Hopefully, these days will continue forever.

The news of the destruction of Yongdu City soon spread to Huangnishan Village, the war was completely over, and everyone's heart was put back in their stomachs. Under the rule of the Ming people, they have been living for more than half a year, and the improvement and change of life is obvious, although they are still remembering those relatives and comrades-in-arms who died at the hands of the Ming people, but the living always have to continue to live.

At least, they are living much better now than they were in the past. Wang Zunzhi is very smart, he knows the reason for all this in the village, so he has been taking various methods in the village to downplay the villagers' hatred of the Ming people.

Hatred is real, after all, almost everyone in this village has relatives and friends who died under the sword and gun of the Ming people.

Wang Zunzhi must have been a professional soldier, and he has a more open view of such things, the two countries fight on the battlefield, either you kill me, or I kill you, hatred, for them now, what a luxury thing it is!

Or the death of these people can exchange for their families a happy and healthy life now, and they will rest in peace under the Nine Springs! Wang Zunzhi hopes that this peaceful life will continue forever, so he will never allow any hatred of Ming people in the village, and once he finds out, he will expel such people from the village without mercy.

Time will dilute everything. As the younger generation grows up, they will forget that they were once a Qin person, and they will get used to being a Ming person.

After arranging the affairs of the village in the past few days, Wang Zunzhi is ready to go back to the city, but his family is still in Yongdu City! When he left the city by himself, and then never returned, or his family thought he was dead, he thought with some bitterness. After going back, he took his family to Huangnishan Village, and the family was reunited, and he lived with Meimei in the future, which was the happiest day.

Putting on the carriage in the village, Wang Zunzhi took two villagers with him, and prepared to move to the city. He was originally a tooth general, and he was a little higher than the middle-level officers, and he naturally still had some belongings in the city.

As soon as the group walked out of the village, they saw several war horses galloping over, and stopped abruptly in front of them, Wang Zunzhi raised his eyes to see, but the person who took the lead was an acquaintance, the last time he sent prisoners of war to Huangnishan Village, the Ming cavalry officer Cheng Xiaoyu, was about to say hello, but suddenly saw Cheng Xiaoyu's legs, and his face couldn't help but change.

Cheng Xiaoyu only has one leg.

"Wang Cunzheng, don't you recognize me?" Cheng Xiaoyu smiled heartily, pointed at Wang Zunzhi with a horse whip, and said loudly: "Your memory is too bad, right?" ”

Wang Zunzhi sighed in his heart, what a sunny young man this is, those old and weak women and children in Huangnishan Village can survive, it has a lot to do with the person in front of him, if it weren't for this young man, those people, I am afraid that they would have been frozen and starved to death in the ice a long time ago, and now they have turned into a pile of dry bones.

Such a good man, but also lost a leg in the war.

"Your legs?" Wang Zunzhi asked, everyone is from a military background, but there is not much evasion.

"It's okay, I fought a battle, I lost a leg, yes, I'm lucky, a whole team of 100 people, and only a dozen people survived in the end." The smile on Cheng Xiaoyu's face narrowed slightly, but then it appeared again: "Being a soldier and fighting, it's a normal thing, I'm already very happy to survive, don't look at me I only have one leg left, and I can compare with you who can run faster on a horse, of course, it is estimated that it is not possible to fight." General Ma said that he had hired a master to make me a prosthetic leg so that I could still gallop across the battlefield, which I felt a little hanging. ”

Wang Zunzhi smiled reluctantly. "Brother Cheng, did you come to Huangnishan today to find me? I'm going to pick up my family in town? ”

"Of course I'm looking for you, I'm looking for you in Yongdu City, but my eyes are black, and I can't find it when I go in." Cheng Xiaoyu smiled: "Wang Cunzheng don't laugh at me, I'm just a hillbilly, and the biggest city I have entered in my life is the Tiger Prison." This Yongdu City can't be compared with the Tiger Prison Pass. So I can only come to you as a guide. ”

"Brother Cheng is also going to the city?" Wang Zunzhi said in surprise.

"Of course, you forgot, what I promised Liu Kui must be done." Cheng Xiaoyu said solemnly: "His wife and children live in Sanyuanli, he told me personally, but I don't know where Sanyuanli is, let alone how to go, think about it, Wang Cunzheng and Liu Kui know each other, and they are from Lao Yongdu, when they are very clear, they simply come to you directly." It just so happens that since you are going into the city too, I will go with you, and it will save you a lot of trouble. ”

He turned around, looked at the cavalry behind him and said, "Brothers, it's okay now, you can go back!" I told you that there was no problem, but you didn't worry about it, so you had to follow. Finally, one day during the bathing period, those who are still running around with me will go back, and when I have settled the people, I will come back to find you to drink. ”

Several cavalrymen smiled and nodded, greeted Wang Zunzhi, and roared away.
