Chen Siyi and Miss Xu San came out of the auction hall, found Governor Chen, and invited them to Xincun.

As the new village approaches, the vision changes, the original yellow crop fields are replaced by green sweet potato fields, as far as the eye can see, it is the people who are busy in the fields, the sweet potatoes grow vigorously, a piece of green, in a trance, it seems to come to another world of wind and rain, and the drought in people's mouths seems to have nothing to do with here.

Someone had already ridden a horse to report the movements of Wang Chengen and his party, and Yu Xiang led people to wait at the gate of the village.

Wang Chengen came to Xincun, only to see the tall city walls, the spirit of the soldiers standing guard with guns, giving people a majestic momentum, making thieves cold, let good people warm their hearts, Wang Chengen's first impression of Xincun is excellent.

After a period of greetings, Yu Xiang took Wang Chengen and his entourage to visit the Xincun School, the Xincun Hospital under construction, the bathhouse, the Xincun Theater under construction and other places, the road is clean and tidy, the school books are loud, everyone has a smile on their faces, everything in the Xincun seems to be isolated from the outside world, like a paradise.

As the lunch bell rang, people came to the restaurant in an orderly manner, consciously lined up in a long line, and each person received food with an identity card, and the amount of food was boxed in advance.

Wang Chengen opened a box of lunch, only to see that there were two pieces of fish, a lot of vegetables, and a small amount of rice. The dishes are tantalizing and fragrant.

After the meal, the table was as clean as new, no one seemed to have come to the whole canteen, and in the porcelain plate, except for a few fish bones, there was no residue, and not even a little soup hung on the wall of the lunch box. Everyone's cherishing of food is deeply rooted in the bone marrow, which is the result of the new village's daily instillation of cherishing food in everyone. Not only is the concept instilled, but the quantitative feeding of the new village has strengthened everyone's concept of conservation to a certain extent. Most of these people in the new village were born poor and hungry, and they easily accepted the idea of saving food.

When I came to the back kitchen, I saw the busy chefs coming and going, preparing a meal of thousands of people, there was almost no residue, and even the useless vegetable leaves that were picked were washed clean and fed to the pigs, almost no waste.

Wang Chengen praised again and again: "Good management, good food, and the essence of long live thrift, good!" Good! ”

In the cool afternoon, they came to Xinsan Village, visited the Xincun chicken farm, the grasshoppers were used as chicken food, these chickens were almost not fed with food, the health team took many maggots from the septic tank every day and sent them to the chicken farm, Xincun used manure and straw to cultivate maggots to feed the chickens, these chickens grew big and strong. It can lay hundreds of eggs a day, and the eggs in the new village are mainly eaten by the elderly, children and soldiers, and even officials like Yu Xiang rarely eat eggs in normal times.

Chicken manure is not wasted, some people specially collect it, ferment chicken manure, and use it to make pig feed! Greatly save the cost of pig raising! Therefore, the huge chicken farm did not see chicken manure everywhere, and the stinking scene was overwhelming. Wang Chengen felt very novel, and praised again and again: "A good circular agriculture, everywhere is treasure, good!" Good! ”

New. The four villages are pig farms, where hundreds of pigs are raised, and these pigs are not fed with grain, but use rice bran, wheat bran and grass, plus chicken manure and pig feed made by Xincun. The refugees received in the new village, they cleaned the barnyard grass in the potato fields of the new village, and these barnyard grass were used to feed the pigs, minimizing the consumption of food by the pigs, not only accepting the refugees, but also not letting the refugees be idle, having something to do, avoiding the chaos caused by the flood of refugees, and turning the refugees into workers. This puts bailouts into a virtuous circle.

Pig manure is not wasted, and pig manure is turned into a manure tank to make biogas and fertilizer.

I didn't see mosquitoes and flies flying around in the feedlot, the smell was overwhelming, but clean and ventilated, the pig farm was reasonably designed, the pig pen was covered with a layer of dry soil, and every once in a while, someone cleaned the pigsty, and the urine soil cleaned up was an excellent fertilizer.

Xincun circular agriculture is built on the basis of a large number of manpower, a large number of refugees are skillfully used as workers, not only to let them eat and live, but also pay wages at the end of the year, in this troubled times, it is definitely a place of refuge that everyone yearns for, so everyone cherishes the opportunity to enter the new village, and they are conscientious and do a good job.

Wang Chengen opened his eyes, opened his mind, and sighed: "If the Ming Dynasty could be like Xincun, there would not be so many disasters, Xincun is good!" Good! Good!! ”

In the evening, Yu Xiang did not hide the military strength of Xincun, on the exercise ground, flags fluttering, soldiers with short hair, all gray military uniforms, berets, and bayonets on steel guns flashed with cold light.

With a command, neat movements, simple and practical moves. The soldiers were all alive and vigorous, and a domineering spirit was approaching. Wang Chengen praised again and again: "It is no accident that Xincun was able to defeat a rogue ten times his size!" Good! Good! ”

That night, Wang Chengen and Chen Zhifu stayed in Juxian Hall.

The next day was the rest day of Xincun and the day of the premiere of "The Legend of Light". In an open space in Xincun, an open-air stage was erected, Wang Chengen, Chen Zhifu and a group of martial arts giants sat in the best position in the front row, and the whole stage was surrounded by water, and the scene was very lively.

With the sound of gongs and drums, the show began, and the audience quieted down to watch the play.

As the plot progressed, Wang Chengen's mood was affected by the fate of Li Erguo in the play, Li Erguo's child starved to death, which made Wang Chengen cry, reminding him of the scene of his poor family when he was a child, Li Erguo became a homeless person, which made his heart entangled, Li Erguo surrendered in battle, glad for him, Li Erguo lived happily in the new village, and Wang Chengen was sincerely happy for him. In addition to being happy, he couldn't help but feel sorry for Liu Danzhen's tragic experience, for the girls who were cooked by Zhang Xianzhong, and hated the bandits represented by Sun Ba, Wang Chengen was completely immersed in the plot of this play, until the end of the play, he was still entangled in the fate of the characters in the play, reminiscing and sorting out the experiences of the people in the game.

Wang Chengen watched a lot of singing operas in the palace, but Xincun's song "Bright Story" is different from his previous plays, with fewer singing segments, a lot of dialogue, a clear narrative context, and live performances, which make people immersive.

In fact, the content of "Guangming Ji" is the real experience of Li Erguo's family in Shaanxi, suffering from natural and man-made disasters, fleeing everywhere, becoming a homeless person, in Zhang Xianzhong's team, what he saw and heard, and finally the process of joining the new village, starring Li Erguo, interspersed with the stories of Liu Danzhen, Sun Ba and others, because this story is adapted from real people and real events, plus Li Erguo was born with a talent for acting, this play is to write about his own encounters, and the truth is revealed during the performance, great joy and sorrow, and it is just right.

The people present were quickly attracted by his performance, sometimes the crowd was passionate, sometimes full of sorrow, and when the bloody battle of Loess Gang was performed, it was the scene of the Xincun soldiers who were not afraid of death and fought bravely to the fullest, which showed in detail many details of the death of Shui and Huang'an, and reproduced the scene of the sacrifice of these two martyrs, which caused people to sigh. They all regretted the sacrifice of many Shui and Huang An.

After watching the play, Wang Chengen seems to have experienced the journey of seeking light with Li Erguo, and he regards Xincun as Li Erguo's final destination, therefore, deep in his heart, he thinks that Xincun is the most ideal destination for all refugees, and now Wang Chengen has become an out-and-out fan of Xincun.

Li Erguo became famous as soon as he acted, becoming an out-and-out star of that era, acting from a remote town to the palace, creating a legend of that era. "The Chronicle of Light" has since become an epoch-making and immortal work.

After watching "The Bright Story", Yu Xiang held a meeting again, with the participation of various martial arts giants, the main personnel of the new village, Li Erguo, Liu Danzhen and Zhang Tiexin who participated in "The Bright Story", and director Wu Boyi.

Wang Chengen sat at the top. Yu Xiang introduced the participants to Wang Chengen and Chen Zhifu, and with the appearance of thunderous names, Wang Chengen and Chen Zhifu were surprised, they didn't expect that Yu Xiang would have such charisma in Wulin Road.

Yu Xiang quickly cut to the chase and said: "The rebellion of the displaced people began with natural disasters and famine, and the corruption of officialdom and the ineffective relief of disasters caused the famine situation to deteriorate and eventually turned into war. ”

By watching "The Bright Record", all the people present nodded yes, and everyone had no doubt about Yu Xiang's conclusion.

Yu Xiang continued to analyze the current situation, this year's drought in Henan has become a fact, the recent influx of displaced people into Dongshuanghe Town is increasing day by day, the new village has taken various measures to shelter and relieve refugees, such as: the purchase of grasshoppers, but the number of refugees is too large, so if this continues, the new village's grain reserves will soon be exhausted, and the consequences are unimaginable.

And in the year of the great drought, it is very easy to lead to locust plague, this year in Henan, locust plague is very likely to occur, therefore, Yu Xiang ordered people to buy locusts, crisp locusts, on the one hand, relief refugees, on the other hand, hunt and kill locusts, reduce their damage, and most importantly, let people eliminate the fear of locusts, in order to deal with the possible insect plague.

The people present listened to Yu Xiang's words, and they were very sure of his approach, helping the victims is not simply to provide food, but to provide them with the opportunity to support themselves, which is extremely beneficial to the long-term relief of the victims.

While everyone was discussing, there was a small episode, and a soldier reported: "Li Qiankun heard that an official had come to 'complain'. You can't stop it! ”

When Wang Chengen heard that someone had sued, he felt very strange, and without waiting for Yu Xiang to speak, he said, "Please come in." ”

I saw Li Daobai and Li Daoxiu helping Li Qiankun in, and as soon as the three of them saw Yu Xiang, they knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.

Yu Xiang said very strangely: "I heard that you are going to sue, this is the imperial court, it doesn't matter if you have anything." ”

The three of them kowtowed to Wang Chengen again, and Wang Chengen asked, "If you have any grievances, please say everything." ”

Li Qiankun said: "The little old man came to die to thank Mr. Qian for saving his life, I didn't understand Mr. Qian's approach before, and almost gave an old life, and now, after experiencing war and natural disasters, the little old man finally understands Mr. Qian's good intentions to save the people from fire and water. So he gave a general account of what happened to him.

Hearing this, Wang Chengen remembered that the emperor asked Wen Tiren to thoroughly investigate Yu Xiang's indiscriminate killing of innocents, so he proposed to investigate the matter on the spot.

Wang Baoqiang took his wife and daughter into the house, recounting the passage of the day, Ah Niu brought a few thugs outside Zhang Yuanwai to come in and describe the situation at that time, what he said was true, the situation was very clear, Zhang Yuanwai was arrogant and resisted the law, and was corrected on the spot, and the new village was in addition to one evil for the local area.

Wang Chengen was very satisfied and said: "It's good to kill, such a bully, get rid of the evil." ”

When the martial arts people learned that Yu Xiang did not hold his family jointly and severally responsible, everyone praised Yu Xiang's benevolence and righteousness, and admired him even more.

Master Wuwei recited the Buddha's name and said, "Amitabha! Master Yu, you saved Wang Baoqiang, is there a way to save thousands of Wang Baoqiang? ”

Yu Xiang replied: "To help the suffering, the most basic thing is to eat, if people have something to eat, many people will choose to be law-abiding citizens, if they want to starve people to death, there will be many people who become homeless and become bandits." Therefore, the imperial court should come up with money and food as soon as possible to relieve the victims, so as to prevent the situation from deteriorating further and avoid the situation getting out of control! ”

Wang Chengen said worriedly: "At present, there are internal and external troubles, and the imperial court may not be able to take out so much food for a while to relieve the refugees." ”

Yu Xiang said: "There is another way, but it requires the active cooperation of the imperial court." ”

Wang Chengen's eyes lit up and asked, "What method?" ”

"Northerners move south!" Yu Xiang replied simply.

Wang Chengen asked: "It's just that so many people have flowed into the south, will there be an ownerless exile in the south?" ”

Yu Xiang said: "Only if the organization is law-based, it will not become an unmainstream citizen. Please Tu Can and Tu Daxia into the house. ”

When Tu Can came in, he told Mu Xiaoqing about the situation of Mu Xiaoqing's opening up of new immigrants in the south. After Wang Chengen heard this, he couldn't help nodding.

Wang Chengen said: "Yu Qianzong means to hand over the work of relocating displaced people to the new village. ”

Yu Xiang said: "If the court decrees, I am willing to do my best." ”

Wang Chengen said: "Go back, I will definitely show the saint." ”

After the meeting ended, Yu Xiang asked to see Wang Chengen alone. Seeing Wang Chengen, Yu Xiang kowtowed and asked for guilt, and Yu Xiang told him about the first two gifts, and stated the oath he had made.

Wang Chengen said: "Yu Qian is determined to be a good official, I support you, you don't have any psychological burden, I have long been aware of the disadvantages of officialdom gifts, Yu Qian always wants to get rid of bad habits, be a good official, long live will definitely support." ”

Yu Xiang thanked him for his kindness, took out a sword and said, "This sword is made of Xincun stainless steel, and I will offer it to the saint." ”

Wang Chengen took the sword, drew the sword out of the sheath, and suddenly the cold light was shining, the light was dazzling, and he saw that the sword was cast: "Yu Xiang swears allegiance to the Ming Dynasty, if there is a violation, a thousand will be destroyed!" A few words.

Wang Chengen was overjoyed, the sword was still sheathed, and he said in a loud voice: "Good sword, good sword!" ”

Through what he saw and heard in the new village, Wang Chengen was still worried, worried that it would become stronger and stronger, and he would rebel in the future.

Yu Xiang also handed over Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu to Wang Chenen, and Wang Chenen was even more overjoyed.

On the same day, when Wang Chengen left the new village, he announced in public: "The rules of the new village are very good, and the officials will fully support them before opening up the honest and honest government." ”

After speaking, Wang Chengen left the new village, escorted Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu, and quickly returned to Beijing to resume his life!
