Chapter 22: A New Atmosphere
Time flies, and a month passes quickly. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Under the morning light, Qilin Village on the bank of the Yangtze River is exuding vitality.
Previously, with the addition of Guoyuan and the promulgation of the Five Decrees, the newly joined Erlongshan Yellow Turbans, the prisoners of the Great Western Army, and the villagers of Yongxing Village quickly integrated into the whole of Qilin Village, and the enthusiasm of the villagers was completely mobilized, and the construction of Qilin Village was rapidly promoted.
At this time, the area of the houses in the north corner of the village had been completely planned, and after a large number of trees were cut down, the original area had been expanded nearly tenfold.
After discovering several craftsmen who were good at firing bricks and tiles among the villagers of Yongxing Village, Guoyuan immediately organized several tile kilns to be built.
With these fired bricks, all the roofs that were originally laid with thatch were replaced with green tiles.
In this way, rows of exquisite and elegant houses are neatly arranged on the hillside on the bank of the Yangtze River, looking majestic and magnificent.
There are still some houses under construction at the back of the area, and the 1,200 houses that Sima Yu plans to build have not yet been completed.
After building enough houses to house all the villagers, Guoyuan did not put most of his human resources on building houses, except for leaving some manpower to maintain the normal progress of the construction of houses, the rest of the manpower has been transferred to other places.
The market not far from the village administration center was already bustling with activity at this time, and on both sides of the market, some vendors selling fish, meat, grain, and other materials had already set up their stalls, and some women were buying ingredients and other materials in groups of threes and threes at the market.
Many shops around the market have already been sold or rented, such as taverns, tea shops, inns, blacksmith shops, grain shops, and carpentry workshops.
With the privatization, unified currency, and unified weights and measures system, the industry differentiation of Qilin Village began to appear, and the internal economic exchanges gradually prospered, and many people from other villages settled or traded here every day.
"Drink!"
"Drink!"
"Drink!"
。。。。。。
In the barracks to the east of the village administration center, there were bursts of fierce shouting.
On the school field, in the four directions of the southeast, northwest and northwest, four teams of soldiers are conducting drills under the leadership of Che Liji, Hu Chuquan, Zhou Cang, and Pei Yuanshao.
With the increase in population, the four teams under the command of Cheriji, Hu Chuquan, Zhou Cang, and Pei Yuanshao have also expanded from the original 100 people to 200 people.
Rows of Qilin Village soldiers dressed in leather armor and holding spears stepped on neat steps, raising their guns and stabbing forward step by step, and the momentum between one move continued to condense, and when the last step was taken, the indomitable momentum reached its peak.
The training method of these soldiers was devised by Sima Yu, who gathered around the school field to run 20 laps (5 kilometers) every day before dawn to exercise their physical fitness.
After completing the physical exercise, it is under the leadership of the four people of Cherrigi to carry out the continuous repetition of the exercises.
For an elite army, orders and prohibitions are carried out, and teamwork is the ultimate thing.
And through this continuous repetition of one move and one style, it is conducive to cultivating their sense of teamwork and indomitable momentum.
Of course, as for the military formation drill, the way to change the formation is completely in charge of the four main generals Cherrigi, Hu Chuquan, Zhou Cang, and Pei Yuanshao.
During the capture of Yongxing Village, some items in the treasury system were activated, including the actual military training record and the fragment of the military book.
The five training records were used by Sima Yu on the five people of Che Liji, Hu Chuquan, Zhou Cang, Pei Yuanshao, and Ah Huilan, so that they understood some preliminary battle formation drills, and combined with their own previous war experience, they can be regarded as a small stage in terms of war drills.
In addition to practicing these, riding training will be carried out every afternoon, although the Jianchang horse is not suitable as a war horse, but it is still possible to ride and speed up the march.
For the soldiers under his command, Sima Yu was not stingy with the resources in his hands, not only giving priority to the supply of leather armor, simple knives and other equipment, but also sufficient supplies of fish, meat and food every day, and the 800 soldiers were as strong as calves.
These soldiers are all selected from the Yellow Turban of Erlong Mountain and the Great Western Army, all of them have been on the battlefield before and have seen blood, after such unified training, coupled with the effect of the fragments of the war book, they already have the temperament of elite soldiers.
It only takes a few more victories, builds enough self-confidence, and cultivates the military spirit of an army to truly grow into an elite soldier.
On the outskirts of Qilin Village, the construction of the city wall has begun at the southeast gate, and the gate has been completed, all of which are built with complete stones, which is very strong.
In Sima Yu's plan, the entire Qilin Village is planned to be built into a large city that can accommodate more than 200,000 people, so the urban area of Qilin City will reach more than 20 square kilometers in the future.
The south side is close to the Yangtze River, and it can only be expanded from the east, north, and west, and the east side is a large flat area close to the Yangtze River, which is suitable for cultivating fertile land.
Therefore, the construction of the city wall began from the east, and the city wall in other directions was gradually built with the development of Qilin Village.
Not far from the newly built city gate was the huge depression.
At this time, thousands of acres of depression have been completely divided into patches of fertile fields, scattered farm huts, and green rice has grown in the hundreds of acres of fertile fields that have been reclaimed near half of the side.
There are also more than a dozen waterwheels that have been built on the shore, and some villagers have already gotten up early to push the waterwheels to divert water for irrigation.
Between the fertile fields and the fertile fields, in addition to the diversion ditches in the hundreds of acres of fertile fields located on the shore have been laid, the remaining fertile fields are still only dug out of simple mud ditches, and occasionally some figures can be seen digging ditches.
With the advancement of privatization, all industries and places now need manpower, and Guoyuan cannot deploy all manpower to reclaim farmland.
Therefore, the farmland reclamation work of the entire Qilin Village is only progressing normally, and only more than 760 acres of fertile land have been reclaimed in one month.
However, the yield of such fertile land with complete water diversion facilities is much higher than that of those cultivated at will, and the annual output of one acre of land has been as high as more than 600 catties.
Nowadays, the scale of Qilin Village has expanded several times compared to before, and after accepting several waves of displaced people one after another, the population of the village has also grown to 8,423 people, and it has already been successfully upgraded to a second-class village.
Under the overall arrangement of the great talent of internal affairs, Qilin Village has undergone earth-shaking changes in just one month.
From a distance, Qilin Village at this time is a peaceful and stable scene.
Now the population growth rate of the village has slowed down, even with the bonus of the golden gift package, it is only twenty or thirty people per day, and it will take some time to reach the 10,000 population of the third-level village.
It seems that most of the displaced people in the vicinity have either died on the road or have a place to stay.
It seems that after settling down for so long, it's time to make a move.
