Dr. Lan got lime from nowhere, and on the first day, he sprinkled the whole village with lime in front of and behind the house.

Although it tastes good, fewer and fewer villagers are getting sick.

Zhang Yuanwai was still looking at the grain, and the grain and salt were getting less and less, and the villagers who hated him were getting more and more.

However, what made people happy was that on the third day, Yang Ming sent people looking for the market town to come back and say that there was a big market town called Zhangjiachang more than 20 miles away, and Zhangjiachang was only more than ten miles away from the county seat of Dongxiang.

As soon as they heard this, Dr. Lan and Zhang Yuanwai drove an ox cart in the village to Zhangjiachang with the prey in the mountains.

Zhang Yuanwai is responsible for selling prey, Dr. Lan is responsible for seeing a doctor to earn money, and then with the money they earn, one is responsible for buying some salt and condiments, and the other is responsible for buying some medicinal herbs, paper and ink.

Zhang Yuanwai didn't expect that he, a big salt merchant, would also set up a stall to sell one day, and Dr. Lan didn't expect that he, a famous doctor in Hanzhong, would also set up a stall to see a doctor, and it was not for himself, but for the sake of building a new home.

Blacksmith Liu took two fourteen-year-old boys as apprentices, and stayed up all night to make twenty plowshares, thirty hoes and iron rakes, dozens of sickles and knives, and ten axes along the way.

Because Yang Ming stipulated that half of the young adults must be trained every day, and most of the fields allocated to dozens of women such as Du Xiaoyuan were rented to the household registration of the surplus labor force in the family, the farm tools were barely enough.

"Is Yang Gongzi here?"

Du Xiaoyuan can't remember how many times she came to Yang Ming, so that she could thank him in person, after all, it was Yang Ming who saved her life and helped her bury her maid Yueru.

But every time, when Xiao Yuan came to Yang Ming, Yang Ming was not there.

On this day, she got up early and quietly knocked on the fence door: "Is Yang Gongzi here?" ”

At this time, Yun Die walked out of it: "Is it Miss Du, my young master didn't come back last night, he and Cao Laosan of the third team are repairing the canal and embankment, saying that the spring flood is coming, you have to take precautions as soon as possible, do you have something to do with my young master?" ”

"No, it's okay, I just want to thank him in person", Du Xiaoyuan was a little disappointed in her heart, but she still pretended to be indifferent on the surface. Seeing this, Yun Die smiled and said, "Miss Du, it's so sunny outside, let's sit down first." ”

"Miss Du, you taste this tea, this is the wild tea I took the risk of picking on the cliff when I passed by Guangwu Mountain, when it was soaked in the morning dew, the taste is very unique", Yun Die took out a set of exquisite tea sets brought here from Hanzhong and made a cup for Du Xiaoyuan.

"This tea is light and fragrant, and it has the rhyme of Lu'an melon slices", after taking a sip, Du Xiaoyuan said with a smile.

"It's still interesting to talk to Miss Block", as she spoke, Yun Die stared at Miss Plug with her cheeks and said, "Miss Block, I didn't expect you to be so beautiful, I didn't notice it before." ”

Miss Du lowered her head a little shyly, and said after a long time: "Miss Yundie, you are also beautiful, and your sister-in-law Narcissus is also very beautiful." ”

"Heh, is Xu Shuixian beautiful, she is debauched, pestering my young master all day long, fortunately my young master is not a drunkard, otherwise I would have been fascinated by her", Yun Die was angry when she talked about Xu Shuixian.

"The law of gravitation, free-fall motion, flat throwing linear motion?" Du Xiaoyuan accidentally saw a pile of paper written on the table, so she read it unconsciously, and said with a smile: "Unexpectedly, your young master also likes miscellaneous studies." ”

"I don't know why, our young master used to be wholeheartedly ready to discuss the eight stocks, but these days I love to tinker with these Taixi knowledge, you see there is still here, what redox reaction, what wet copper smelting and displacement reaction, male sterile hybridization, I don't understand a lot", Yun Die said and took all the paper that Yang Ming had written.

"Taixi scholars also have outstanding points in arithmetic and astronomy, Yang Gongzi's move is quite Mr. Fang style of Tongcheng, but it seems to be above Mr. Fang, it is really rare", Du Xiaoyuan couldn't help but secretly marvel, and looked at it for a while, but saw that the miscellaneous knowledge written by Yang Ming was simple and easy to understand, so he said: "These miscellaneous studies written by Yang Gongzi are also easy to understand." ”

"My young master said that this is to be taught to children, so I have to write it simply", Yun Die said and said: "The young master said that he would establish a school and literacy class in Hanjia Village, first teach children and adults to read and write, and then teach them basic knowledge, including these miscellaneous studies. ”

Du Xiaoyuan smiled, and continued to flip through the notes written by Yang Ming, but accidentally saw a piece of paper that read:

"The reason why the Manchus stole the world is not because the anti-Qing forces are not strong or because the Manchus have won the hearts of the people, but because the anti-Qing forces of all parties cannot be integrated with each other and are consumed in infighting, Shi Kefa, He Tengjiao and others are just second-rate figures, and Du Yinxi and others can put down their prejudices and coordinate the overall situation......

"The Manchu Qing in Yang Gongzi's mouth must be a Tartar, but how can a Tartar steal the world, my father is just a small prefect from a high background, how can he be compared with Lord Shangshu Shi of the Nanjing Military Department and Lord He, the governor of Huguang, and how does Yang Gongzi know my father?"

Du Xiaoyuan really wanted to ask Yang Ming now, she found that this Yang Ming was really mysterious, and the mystery made her want to know him more and more.

After each family was given a plot of land, the villagers were highly motivated to farm.

Despite this, because Hanjia Village still has few people in the field, more than half of the land is barren, and no one cultivates it even if it is lent to people without rent.

For this reason, Yang Ming also put the five captured thieves, except for the leader who was really guilty of the most heinous crime, and had to give an explanation to the whole village and put him to death. The other four were exempted from the death penalty and, after a summary trial in front of the whole village, their sentences were commuted to life imprisonment, and they were required to provide free labor for the whole village for the rest of their lives.

At the request of the villagers, Yang Ming had no choice but to downsize the young and middle-aged members of the four teams, and all those under the age of 20 and over 35 no longer participated in military training, and all went home to participate in spring ploughing.

As a result, the number of people conducting military training was reduced to forty people, exactly ten people in a team.

But the speed of spring ploughing has increased rapidly due to the addition of surplus labor, and after just two months, the fields are already full of seedlings and green vegetables.

The remaining forty men were no longer involved in farming, but were trained full-time in military professionalism, and Yang Ming promised to compensate them with food from the collected food every month.

In addition, because Zhang Xianzhong is now wandering around Huguang, many displaced people from Huguang have entered Sichuan, especially Kuizhou.

Yang Ming selectively took in some of the displaced people and recruited 200 young men as soldiers, while most of them were organized into tenants and responsible for cultivating the abandoned fields in the village.

These homeless people, it is already a blessing to give them a full meal, and now they are still given land to plant and only charge a small amount of rent, which is even more undesirable for them.

Today's Hanjia Village is still vast and sparsely populated, so the addition of new displaced people has not contradicted the previous villagers, on the contrary, the villagers who were the first to get the land are very welcome to have more people join, so that their barren fields can be cultivated, and fertility can be maintained, and they can also collect rent, why not.

Gradually, many villagers began to change from homesteaders to landlords, and some had the dual status of peasants and landlords.

Not only that, but some of the clever vagrants rented the villagers' fields cheaply and then leased them to the new settlers, so that they made a lot of money and became rich peasants.

Of course, these are all later words, and there is no obvious gap between the rich and the poor in Hanjia Village now.
