When I came to the residential area, in fact, Zhu Ming saw it from afar, it was a felt tent that had been built, but the distance between these felt tents was quite large, and when I walked into Zhu Ming, I found that these felt tents were generally in groups of three, one of which was a large felt tent and two small ones.

But these felt tents are quite far away from each other, and the felt tents are neatly arranged there, and the felt tents are surrounded by rows of small saplings, these small saplings are already alive, these small saplings form a natural wall, of course, there is still some distance from the wall, but the felt tents have been isolated, and the area of these yards is not small.

Huo Gang didn't go to the city gate, because he went over, these people must have been a little restrained, but the layout and arrangement of the entire city were prepared by Huo Gang, and the courtyard of each family was 300 square meters, this courtyard area is not large, but it is not small.

Of course, for this era, it is certainly not big, but at present, this courtyard is just a felt tent, and it looks very big. These saplings were also planted by Huo Gangrang, which can be regarded as a kind of urban greening, but when it comes to the future, their houses will be built directly with concrete.

Originally, a large amount of cement was used to build the city wall in the first batch, but now Huo Gang feels that it is okay to build the first batch of houses for them, and for the Chinese, houses and land can be said to be their most important things.

This is also a tradition engraved in the bones.

For the time being, the area of the felt tents here is planned with those under Huo Gang before, a bit like the style of the new countryside in the future, rows of neat and uniform felt tents, and when the houses are built later, they can be planned according to the location of the current saplings.

And the location of the streets, public toilets, etc., has been arranged in advance.

When Zhu Ming and the others arrived at their place, they went into the felt tent to take a look, it was indeed very simple, but there was already a carpet made of sheepskin spread on the ground, and the whole felt tent could already live in people, the conditions were not as good as their original place, but it was much better than they imagined.

Now that the weather is starting to get hot, you don't have to worry about catching a cold at night.

However, what interested Zhu Ming was that when he entered their residential area, there was a sign that clearly stated that the daily buckets and garbage should be cleaned up in a unified place, and it was forbidden to dump them casually to avoid spreading diseases.

This kind of regulation is only available in some big cities, but in some small cities, no one cares about this at all.

But Zhu Ming is Langzhong, he knows that this can indeed prevent certain diseases, but he is not clear about the principle of this, he just knows the result.

In addition, there is a small wooden sign at the door of each of their houses, which is engraved with numbers in advance.

Zhu Ming looked at it deliberately, and there was a strange name on it: Minxin Homes are lined up and one household.

He can understand the last four words, but what does the front of the people's homeland mean? He knows the people, what is going on with this homeland? Say this is the home of the people? Zhu Mingming really didn't quite understand what this thing was.

Not only Zhu Ming didn't understand, but some of the other people who lived in didn't quite understand it, but if they didn't understand, they didn't understand, anyway, this seemed to refer to the location of their felt tent, because Zhu Ming glanced at his neighbor, he was a row of two households in the people's home.

It seems that the latter one is arranged in order, and his wife and children are arranged, Zhu Ming stays at home honestly, Zhu Ming's wife is a very virtuous woman, although there is nothing to clean up here, what they carry with them is some simple clothes and furniture, but his wife still tries to keep everything in order.

As the saying goes, a broken home is worth a lot, and although they have few things, these things are also very important to them.

"Husband. What if we don't have a place to cook? Zhu Ming's wife walked in with a sad face and asked. Although this felt tent is indeed a little simple, not as good as a house, but it can also shelter from the wind and rain, and there is no problem with living inside.

It's just that I don't know what to do when I'm cooking, so I can't stop them from eating.

"When we came, the main family explained, come here, the main family here should arrange for us, for the time being, we just ate dry food, and we are not very hungry, so let's do it for the time being." Zhu Ming thought for a while and said.

"Yes."

In fact, Huo Gang has already thought about these problems, and suddenly there are 6,000 more people to eat, which is not a lot of pressure on Huo Gang now, thinking that since the last time Huo Gang said that he wanted a large amount of grain, the Li family in Longxi has been sending grain to Huo Gang, except for the most important ration rice in Datang, most of the grain sent over is almost wheat.

Because wheat has always been cultivated in the Hexi Corridor and is also one of the most important grains in the Hexi Corridor, of course, the flour milled from wheat in this period cannot be as snow-white as in later generations, and ordinary people in this period did not have the luxury of directly sifting all the bran and then eating white flour directly.

Anyway, there is no shortage of food Huo Gang here, and the caravan of the Li clan in Longxi is almost continuous to send all kinds of materials to Huo Gang here, especially grain and slag, of which grain and slag are the most.

The slag is purely to help, because Huo Gang needs it, and the entire Guazhou and Liangzhou don't need it, and I don't know how much slag is left for ironmaking for so many years, so there is no shortage of these slags for the time being.

To put it bluntly, Huo Gang is now waiting for the news of the iron mine, for the time being, the problem of food and housing for these 6,000 people can be solved by Wu Ping and them, as for the cooking pot stove, it is simple, these are very important things for the ancient people, almost every household has it, as for the cooking, after these craftsmen come, they will do it themselves, and the masons can directly use the mud to build a stove in their respective yards.

Soon, the crowd behind continued to move into these felt tents, more than 6,000 people, according to the data given by the Li family in Longxi, exactly a thousand households, but in fact, many craftsmen in it are related.

Distant relatives aside, for example, some grandparents and grandchildren are carpenters for three generations, which is very common in this.

However, such families are also separated, each is considered a household, and the number of craftsmen is a thousand.

Even if these craftsmen are divided into ten groups of people to rank, it took almost half a day to complete, judging from the list of craftsmen sorted out, these craftsmen can be said to have all walks of life, among which the largest number is carpenters, masons, and the number of blacksmiths is not much, but there are no craftsmen who know how to make paper.

From this aspect, it can be seen that although the Longxi Li family hopes to get more books from Huo Gang, but in the same way, the Longxi Li family does not want Huo Gang to master the self-sufficiency of raw materials, and Huo Gang doesn't care about this.

For the time being, papermaking is difficult for him, first of all, Huo Gang's best papermaking raw material here is reeds, but it will take at least a year for reeds to expand, and at this moment, the area of the original oasis north of Yumen Pass is constantly expanding northward, and the reeds in the middle are growing faster than alfalfa grass.

Almost the entire surface of the water has been covered with reeds, and in the past few days, Huo Gang has asked Wu Ping to send someone to dig up some of the reed rhizomes and send them directly to Huo Ci Lake, and bury these reeds by the lake.

The vitality of the reed itself is extremely strong, and with the assistance of spiritual spring water, its expansion speed can be said to be almost unlimited as long as there are suitable living conditions.

Not only Huo Ci Lake, when the water source entered the Peacock Sea, Huo Gang also transplanted the reeds directly to the Peacock Sea, because the reeds themselves have the effect of improving salinization, so for the reeds, the conditions of the Peacock Sea can also survive.

In fact, reeds can grow in the entire Hoch River, which stretches down. However, for the time being, Huo Gang does not plan to artificially breed reeds in the river, because if the water flow of this river increases in the future, it may be possible to carry out some water transportation in it, although the river is very small, but there are still some things that can be borrowed upstream and downstream for transportation.

In the afternoon, all the craftsmen distributed their felt tents, and then Wu Ping directly sent someone to inform these craftsmen, asking them to help each other and build their own stoves in their own yards.

Then a group of cavalry began to hand out a blank sheet of paper to them from house to house.

These white sheets vary in size, the largest being slightly shorter and narrower than the palm of a human hand, and on top of it are printed something with a special kind of numbers and Chinese characters.

"These are vouchers for exchange, which you can use later to exchange for food at the location of the town hall. These grains are provided to you free of charge, and will be distributed in the future, so when you receive them, bring the vouchers that have just been issued to you at the city gate. After distributing these white paper cavalry, I gave them an explanation, and went directly to the next house.

Zhu Ming looked at the stack of things in his hand with some curiosity, thought about it, said hello to his wife, and walked directly to the one behind his house. There lived Zhu Ming's acquaintance, Ning Qi.

"Ning Lang." After Zhu Ming saw Ning Qi, he first said hello, and then came over and asked, "Ning Lang, have you received something from the master's family?" ”

"Received, you said that the word food stamps are written on it, but what does this yuan mean?" Ning Qi asked with some curiosity.

"I don't know, you look at this strange symbol on it, I don't know if it has the same meaning as ten? What does this ten dollars mean? Zhu Ming shook his head and said.

"Shall we go and get food? The cavalry who had just been sent said that we could go and collect the food ourselves. Ning Qi said.

"Go ahead, take your sister-in-law with you. In this case, we probably won't have time to receive food in the future. Zhu Ming thought for a while and said.

"Okay." Ning Qi nodded and agreed.
