The content of Deng Shifeng's conversation with Qin Er that night was not known to the third person, but it was obvious what stimulation these words played on Qin Er, Qin Er not only supported Deng Shifeng's decisions and various plans more, but even seemed to be ten years younger and devoted himself to the construction of the mountain village; However, this phenomenon was not noticed until much later, and many years later, some villagers in the old village who liked to study the past and talk about history, after careful recollection and debate, were more unanimous in believing that Deng Daxian had cast a bewitching spell on Qin Er, so that Qin Er not only had no doubts, but also carried out all the decisions of Daxian without reservation!

Although Deng Shifeng showed Qin Er a bigger and broader picture, but now everyone has to solve and deal with the various problems that this small village in the mountain nest has to deal with, because the New Year is approaching, as last year, the industrial and mining units are gradually stopping or reducing work, and everyone has begun to focus on the preparation of New Year's goods.

However, unlike last year's tense and bitter words, this year's people in the village are basically smiling, compared with last year, not only in terms of materials compared with last year, but also in terms of living conditions have also improved a lot.

In terms of housing, although the village has not yet built a brick and concrete building, compared with last year, not only is the shack of each family already full of iron, some families who are willing to work more have also exchanged some serious furniture from the carpentry factory in charge of Carpenter Zhao, the establishment of the carpentry factory was originally mainly to solve the wooden part of the gun, as well as the tables, chairs, benches, doors and windows used in the school, but with the mechanical sawing of wood has greatly increased the efficiency of the machinery factory, and some beds, cabinets and chairs have also been produced. The first thing some families buy is a bed, and the dampness on the floor is not only heavy but also uncomfortable...... Even if it is too stressful to buy a whole set of beds, everyone buys bed boards and goes back to build their own simple beds, and the only downside of the massive popularity of bed boards is that there is always a creak at night......

The common people have their own ideas and calculations, everyone wants to build a more sheltered brick and concrete house for their own family, but the lack of conditions and the covetousness of external forces make them dare not build such a permanent building too early, but in the village, like Lao Sun Tou, Zhao Carpenter and a few families, have begun to prepare to start building their own brick and concrete houses next summer; Because of their labor force and the main responsibilities, not only did they earn a little more in terms of their share of work, but they also knew that it was time to set an example with a fixed home.

Food, clothing, housing and transportation are the four major needs of human beings, the first three are the top priority, and the problem of housing can continue to be more difficult, but food and clothing are related to a person's food and clothing problem, then it will not be good.

This year, I have traded with Huang Zhangshi many times, if it weren't for the fact that I beat a few Boss Liu's carriage and horse caravans in the middle of the year, which affected the traffic and economy of Liuzhou Mansion, otherwise the transaction volume and number of transactions would have increased a lot. In each transaction, in addition to the various mines and materials that Deng Shifeng needed, the most and most stable transportation was grain, and Huang Zhangshi delivered a total of nearly 40,000 catties of grain to the mountain villages.

40,000 catties of grain seems to be a lot, but if it is evenly distributed to the population of more than 500 people in mountain villages, each person can have 80 catties, so for the villagers who are now lacking high-calorie foods such as meat, eggs, beans and even edible oil, it is very easy for a person to eat a pound of rice with a little green vegetables and sour bamboo shoots; Eighty pounds of grain...... Pick and pick the point is more than a month's ration!

However, Deng Shifeng didn't plan to divide these grains equally from the beginning, wouldn't it become a complete big pot of rice if he did this, these grains were mainly used to provide student rations, and there was also a need to use labor and trade grain to subsidize the part of the family's food shortage, which could only be obtained by labor. But even so, each household needs to be traded according to the number of people, so as not to concentrate too much on the trade of grain, resulting in a shortage of stocks and reducing the trade of other industrial products. Fortunately, because God still gives face this year, the wind and rain are smooth and there is no disease and no disaster, although the grain harvest is really a little unsightly (mainly the freshly reclaimed raw land), but fortunately, the sweet potatoes and potatoes, corn and peanuts in the dry land have come to a bumper harvest and filled a large number of food gaps, which also makes the villagers have increased their confidence in the expansion of planting of these fairy beans and immortals brought by Deng Daxian next year to a peak.

There is no panic in the heart of the family, and the harvest of their own farming is combined with a multi-pronged approach to earn work and exchange food and by-products, and the problem of eating can be basically solved, and in the end the problem of clothing is left; However, the cotton seeds brought by the agricultural three-wheeler are still too small, and it will take several years of expansion to produce a scale, and now the people in the village still need to solve the problem of clothing from the outside. If it is changed to the past, usually everyone will find a way to hunt to obtain fur, or make clothes by kneading linen and spinning cloth by themselves, but these jobs are too time-consuming, and earn labor in exchange for various linen and cotton cloth imported from outside trade, everyone knows that earning work is faster, for this reason all kinds of cloth and even new and old ready-to-wear clothing, in the last two transactions with the outside world The demand has increased a lot, wear a new dress for the New Year...... This is a new need for many people with the basic desire to be able to eat enough for a year!

Under the premise that the conditions of several human living needs are basically satisfied, there is no reason for the villagers not to prepare for the New Year with a smile every day, even if the villagers who have just moved in recently, although the food and other living materials in their homes are not as rich as the villagers in the old village, but because of their experience, each family is the same as when the villagers of the small village moved in before, not only have a hundred catties of food subsidies, but also pay off the way of labor and labor, first issued a set of iron pots, iron knives, iron plows, bed boards and other living materials to these villagers. Holding these things that they had dreamed of before was enough to make them happy for the New Year, and then see how the villagers of the old village got what they didn't have for the time being...... This is stimulating them to work in the factory next year......

Due to the good harvest of this year's trading in the mountain village, in addition to these basic necessities, Deng Shifeng also specially asked Huang Zhangshi to bring a batch of similar couplets, lanterns, and artillery from outside to enhance the atmosphere of the New Year, which were distributed to all households for free, which did not cost much but could add more festive atmosphere to the villagers. Of course, in order to add icing on the cake and make this year better and more comfortable, Deng Shifeng distributed these materials at the same time, mobilized students and asked the villagers to clean up the public infrastructure of the new village, clean up all public roads, corners and public toilets, and the neat and clean new village also made the villagers feel a kind of visual enjoyment and spiritual enjoyment that they had never had.

The various factories and mines in the village are now basically in a state of semi-suspension or even shutdown, but the school and the newly established army this year continue to study and train. Deng Shifeng's various "immortal arts" to the villagers already let the villagers know that studying in school is the only way to learn these immortal arts, and the school also provides food and accommodation for the students...... There's no reason for the children to go home so early to consume their own food savings! As for the army, because no one knows when the invaders will arrive, coupled with the special surname of the army to be ready for war at all times, it is also destined that their lives are different from ordinary people, and all officers and newly recruited soldiers clearly understand this.

The villagers in the mountain village are in different festive moods as the Chinese New Year approaches, even the slave laborers in the mines, Qin Tou has already said that they will have three days off during the New Year, and provide a small amount of meat to improve their lives, in addition to this, everyone calculates what they can exchange for the New Year's work. Although their lives are not as good as the villagers now, Hou Si has already given them a good example, as long as people see hope, they will not give up on themselves and break the can, plus although it is hard to work here, at least there is no whip and scolding, and the food provided can basically fill their stomachs, which is the main reason why they don't want to leave compared to other places.

But if someone wants to be lazy and eat...... Hehe, some people tell you how difficult it is with personal experience, you can't complete the minimum amount of work per day but you don't have anything to eat, and the punishment is not only to punish the parties, but to punish the group to which the person is located, and the supervision and containment of mutual interests make it difficult for people who are lazy to survive, especially the existence of work benefits, so that the vast majority of slave workers hope to meet a new life as soon as possible through their own efforts.

Of course, in addition to the above people, there are some people who are not so good, these people are the dozen or so spies who came to the mountain village to investigate, some of these people are more honest and some are very tough after being arrested, but all of them are shackled and sent to the mine as free labor, these people eat and live in conditions that are not even as good as those slave laborers, and there are overseers and leather whips when they work...... There may be slaves who feel that they are miserable and want to run away, but when they see that there is such a group of people living a more miserable life than themselves...... This psychology is naturally much more balanced, and if you run away, then you will become one of these people......

At first, these people all believed that their subordinates would not live long, and their master would soon come in with people to rob the fields in this mountain village, occupy these factories and workshops, and save themselves from the miserable days...... It's just that with the passage of time, half a year has passed, and I am looking forward to another year of Wang Shi, but Wang Shi just won't enter the mountain......
