Chapter 196: A Day Ago (Part I)

A day earlier, the reclamation work outside Beijing was in full swing, and it has to be said that Li Jiancheng's series of measures have been very successful. This is due to the fanaticism and single-mindedness of the idealists.

What Li Jiancheng did was tantamount to a rebirth for the vast number of poor people in the Ming Dynasty. What could be more grateful for the homeless than the allocation of farmland for the foundation of survival, and the allocation of houses for shelter from the wind and rain?

Because it is necessary to sow seeds before the spring equinox, the first batch of reclaimed farmland has begun to be allocated, and the first batch of 1.5 million mu has been reclaimed according to the plan.

1.5 million mu of farmland seems like a lot, but there are even more farmers who follow Li Jiancheng. It is 300,000 more than the 800,000 people who were expected to divide the land, and it has reached 1.1 million, so according to the matching, each person has set aside 1.2 acres of land.

When the day came to divide the houses and fields, there was no one happier than the peasants who initially responded to the reclamation movement, and they were naturally the first to receive the fruits of their labor.

When we gathered these displaced people and refugees for reclamation, we also said that these lands would be distributed to them in the future, but many people did not believe it at that time. As the saying goes, 'There are frozen ghosts on the road, and Zhumen's wine and meat stink' is not a lie. In such a world, there are many people who have long ceased to have any hope for the imperial government, and the fundamental reason why they work honestly is that the food for this laborer is not bad, and many people feel that they are happy to eat enough in this kind of world.

And the suddenness of happiness was full of incredibleness, when these people received a notice in their hands to divide their houses and fields. The excitement is beyond words. Although there are many people who can't recognize the words on it when they hold the list, they have a deep sense of security that they have landed.

For example, this man named Wu Xiaochun. He was originally from the Zhangjiakou area, and there was still some land in the family handed down from his ancestors. It's a pity that people are unlucky, and it is difficult to offend the local gentry and lose their ancestral land, if he didn't finally escape with his family and become a homeless person, maybe what would have become. He also has a wife, two sons and a daughter at home, and after escaping from his hometown, his wife does embroidery for others, and he works as a coolie, and his life is very difficult to support his three children.

No, after being dismissed as a coolie in the canal, Wu Xiaochun followed the masses to Beijing with the mood of giving it a try, hoping to get help from the government. In fact, Wu Xiaochun was also cornered. He himself lost his job, and the living allowance from his wife's embroidery alone could not keep his family of five alive in any case.

And after coming to Beijing for a few months, when Xu Xiaochun got the certificate of his family's house and land, two lines of tears flowed down his cheeks, and the certificate said that he could have a building and nearly five acres of land, and he couldn't tell whether this was a dream or a reality.

"Xu Xiaochun! Xu Xiaochun! Xu Xiaochun ......"

It wasn't until a shout woke Xu Xiaochun up that he escaped from his trance-like world, looking at the chaotic crowd in the tent, he quickly replied: "What about this!" I am here! ”

The shouting man found him and said, "Oh, what kind of god are you still stunned here!" The people in charge are pulling the line, it's our time! Hurry up, hurry up, your wife and children are waiting outside, in a hurry! ”

Xu Xiaochun's eyes widened in surprise when he heard this: "Really, it's time to get to us so soon?" ”

The man also said, "It's almost the third day." Most of the people in this tent have walked before they arrive at us, don't say it, don't say it, hurry up, don't let people wait for a long time! ”

Xu Xiaochun hurriedly agreed, the person who talked to Xu Xiaochun was called Zhao Sanming, and he met Xu Xiaochun when he was engaged in reclamation together. The two chatted better. Zhao Sanming's name is also more interesting, he himself said that this name was given by his father, his father has some culture but is also a poor man with no high ambitions. I hope that his son will have three clear things in his life, clear reason, clear things, and clear financial paths. What's more scoundrel is that Zhao Sanming has been doing almost half of the quilt, and he still has this virtue, as if he doesn't understand anything.

Zhao Sanming is more able to talk to Xu Xiaochun, and he also likes to listen to what he says. The two hurried to the side of the team outside the camp, which was a team of forty or fifty people, which was what they called 'pulling the team'. Since the distribution of houses and fields is actually distributed according to the villages, it is first calculated how much developable land can be distributed to how many people here, and then how many houses are built to find people, so the farmers living in tents are divided into different villages, and there is such a name. Of course, this kind of behavior also includes Li Jiancheng's intention to divide the clan.

When Xu Xiaochun and Zhao Sanming came to the team outside the private camp, a short-haired and dressed in black clothes at the front of the team scolded them: "What are you doing, do you want a house or land so slowly!" ”

This is not the steward in Zhao Sanming's mouth, like a progressive young man at the beginning of the last century, the reason why he is dressed in this way is mainly led by the emperor. Li Jiancheng is a person with short hair and clothes, which is very different from the current time and space, and at the beginning, Li Jiancheng's security guards felt that the emperor's appearance was too prominent. Moreover, the emperor likes to make private visits to micro-services, so the security guards who followed him also began to shave their heads and change their outfits to confuse the public; Then the team expanded more and more to the staff, anyway, as long as the emperor went, the people there would be required to dress in a certain proportion with the emperor's characteristics, and over time, most of Li Jiancheng's official workers became like this, and it also evolved into a special vanity and symbol, faintly beginning to go beyond the old sayings of the parents who were exposed to the body.

"Yes, yes, how can you not want it? Isn't that right, I'm sorry, let's go now! ”

The little civil servant didn't want to delay with them, so he said: "Get out, get out, stay in the line, let's go!" ”

Zhao Sanming said again and again that Xu Xiaochun and Zhao Sanming were assigned to a village, and the village number was No. 78. This is a large village, and it is not very common to have hundreds of such large villages settled in the distribution, and it can basically be regarded as a small town in this era, all because of the good water and soil in this area. There will be more fields that can be developed.

Li Jiancheng, a large village like this, is also a key target of attention, and Li Jiancheng's follow-up plan is the reform of new rural construction and education and publicity. A primary school can be built here in the future, but at present, due to the lack of teachers in Li Jiancheng, it has not been put in place in one step.

Village 78 is a code name. In the future, it is up to the villagers to come up with their own names. Village 78 is a large village, and the houses here are not all mud and brick houses. Most of them are red brick and stone houses, and there are even double-storey buildings.

And the allocation of these houses is given priority by people who are excellent in the agricultural reclamation, of course, only first. For example, the mortgage of a mud house may be paid off in a year, while the mortgage of a red house will take at least three or five or even ten years.

But no matter who is the peasant of this era, in three or five or even ten years, such a magnificent building can be left to future generations, and they are sincerely willing. And each house here is a little far apart, and has its own yard and vegetable patch. There is also a large open space for drying rice, etc., which is really affordable and comfortable.

When Xu Xiaochun and the others followed the team to Village No. 78, they really couldn't believe what they saw in front of them, this land had been cultivated here, it was full of evil weeds and mountains at that time, and now it has become a good place with fertile fields and houses falling stars, and if it is managed well, it may really become a paradise.

When Xu Xiaochun's team came to the village, there were already two other teams in the village, and everyone might be neighbors in the same village in the future. Everyone, you look at me, I see you have indescribable excitement. At this time, there was a restlessness in the front of the team, but I saw that there were three young men, two men and one woman.

The three of them cheered when they saw it, and all three of them were not very old. But the fathers and villagers present cheered for them one by one. These three people are Ye Congfeng, Zhou Ming, and Xinlan.

Xinlan, this girl is beautiful and can speak, and she has a good ability in mechanics. Everywhere to build water conservancy for the peasants, it is simply the intimate little padded jacket of the people's daughters and the public. Since the last time she talked to Li Jiancheng, she had three more people around her. Two men and one woman. These three people were busy helping Xinlan, and the water conservancy project went very smoothly. With the addition of Li Jiancheng's arrangement and advice, it became much easier. Xinlan's success naturally won her a lot of fame and cheers, who makes the family a beauty and capable?

Maybe there is no Xinlan's voice, but Ye Congfeng's iron-faced face is also admired by many people, because everyone knows that Ye Congfeng is the total debtor of this agricultural operation. It should be considered a big official, but in fact there is no official position. Ye Congfeng has always been impartial in doing things, making people have nothing to say. Every day, according to Li Jiancheng's arrangement, he needs to spare half of his time to ride a bicycle to personally inspect various places to work. Li Jiancheng will also pick some things to write about the newspaper, so in the entire interface, Ye Congfeng's influence has begun to radiate, although it is not as strong as the star effect of Xinlan's appearance, but Ye Congfeng's weight has begun to reflect.

Then there is Zhou Ming, who is responsible for the construction work of Chen Chen. Every day, this guy is running around with a group of people to do planning and logistics. He was a Christmas gift in the minds of the public, and his work was fiercely sought after in the newspapers.

The opening and settlement of large villages and other areas require these three people to participate in the ribbon-cutting is also arranged by Li Jiancheng, which is of course to make their image more deeply rooted in the grassroots, otherwise there is no need to be so troublesome.

"Ladies and gentlemen, today is a day of individual meeting, and it is a moment worth celebrating. Today you will get the long-awaited fields and houses, and from now on we will have a family and a life, and we will not need to wander around, and you all have to thank the three young clerks who are here to make us have this qiē. Let's really applaud them. The young curtain man said loudly.

These curtain workers are also talent projects prepared by Li Jiancheng, and from the very beginning, Li Jiancheng thought that he should engage in realism and formalism here. The revolution requires constant propaganda, and only by constantly propagating the spirit of the revolution can the revolution penetrate deep into the hearts of more mass bases, and only in this way can it get the support and help of the masses of the people, and only then can the revolution succeed.

The people have already understood the meaning of applause, these simple people not only applauded at this time, but also some knelt down and kowtowed on the spot, and there were even some seventy or eighty-year-old people here, they bowed sincerely to Ye Congfeng, Zhou Ming, Xinlan, these young people who had no official and no position. Encountering such a scene, Xinlan and others were trembling, this sincere mood can really be easily conveyed to people's hearts, even the cold-faced Ye Congfeng was deeply touched, this feeling was shocking for them, and it was the embodiment of affirming the value of what they did.

Ye Congfeng and the three of them personally went down to help these people, Ye Congfeng said: "You don't have to be like this, we are all civilians like you, just doing things with the emperor's grace, I really want to thank the emperor, everyone doesn't have to be like this to us!" ”

At this time, an old man in his seventies and eighties came over and grabbed Ye Congfeng's hand and said, "Little baby, the emperor wants to thank you, and you want to thank you too." I have lived all my life, and I have been wandering all my life, and I have seen many officials who deceive the people. I've never seen you like this for our poor people, don't say that you are not an official, if you are not a big official, if you are not a big official, I will not worship the old man. So you must accept this! ”

Saying that, the old man knelt down, Ye Congfeng couldn't pull it, and finally knelt with the old man. The meeting lasted for a while and the formal ribbon-cutting began, and Zhou Ming said: "Cut this rope and everyone can go to their own houses and fields." Please remember that from now on, the contract sent to you will come into effect, as long as both parties agree at the same time or violate the rules and regulations of the contract, the contract can be terminated, otherwise even if your majesty is in person, you will not be able to repossess your house without reason. Please remember this, this is the personal words of His Majesty! Let's start cutting the ribbon! ”

After saying the final guarantee, the beauty of Xinlan cut the red rope and then said with a red face: "Next, let's start dividing the room!" ”

The crowd cheered, and at that moment suddenly a sharp voice said, "I see who dares!" (To be continued......)
