Chapter 234: Xanadu

Yu Ren nodded, "You're right. However, I have thought about all these questions. Land, I have already taken a fancy to a piece, just outside Songjiang Mansion, close to Chongming Island. It is close to the sea, so that it is easy to connect with our island, and that land is a wasteland, which has not been cultivated by many people. We can buy it. As for the money, you don't have to worry about it, it's all my responsibility.

We can buy 2,000 hectares first. The title deed of that wasteland is currently in the hands of a wealthy man in Songjiang Prefecture. I went out of my way to see it a while ago. There is a small river that connects to the Songjiang River. It's just that due to age, the river has silted up in many places. After we buy this land, we can arrange for people to drain the river first, and then build a few drainage canals. In this way, it was immediately turned into two thousand acres of fine land.

In this area, it is absolutely not a problem to provide food and accommodation for one or two thousand peasant families. Let's test it in this place. As for the army, for the time being, a hundred-man village guard team was organized in the village. I work on the farm and practice in my spare time. These team members are drawn from the children of their own village, and they can be given five stones from the public rations every year. When something happens, don't add it.

We will distribute these fields to everyone for cultivation free of charge, and tentatively allocate 20 acres to each household. If we have fewer people, we can also take in refugees. When the refugees came, we treated them the same, and the fields were distributed to them free of charge. But there is one thing, this land is not for them, but for them to plant, and they have to pay 30% of the grain tax every year. One percent is public grain, one percent is reserved for our village expenses, and one percent is stored in the village's unified grain storage for the famine year.

We are going to build a school in the village and provide it free of charge to school-age children, regardless of boys and girls; We also want to build a medical center in the village to provide free medical treatment to the people of the whole village.

Remember, this village is just a small testing ground for us, and if we do a good job, a large number of people from all over the world will turn to us. At that point, we can build more villages like this around us. The more villages we build, the stronger we will be.

The stronger our strength, the less afraid we are of the imperial court's suppression of us. These points are all connected. When our Juhe Village is in the north and south of the Ming Dynasty, it will not be far from the era of the world's great harmony.

What do you think of my idea? ”

As soon as Yu Ren finished speaking, Liang Ruming wanted to raise another objection, but more than a dozen young people applauded together. And impatiently stood up and asked Yu Ren when the village could be completed.

Yu Ren laughed, "At this time, it's just an idea in my head. This idea also came about after discussing it with your master the day before yesterday, and I didn't have time to discuss it with your master before yesterday. ……”

"No need to negotiate. I think it's a good idea. There is a team to protect the village, and if those corrupt officials in the court want to make things difficult at will, it will not work. We pay the food on time, and they have no reason to be in trouble with us again. Mr. He just didn't think of setting up a village protection team back then! Otherwise, where would he be so easily arrested and put in prison by a small magistrate. ”

Liang Ruming saw that the brothers around him were all aroused by Yu Ren's enthusiasm, and they all fell to Yu Ren's camp, knowing that no one would agree to him to support the rebellion of the Wenxiang Sect. So he flicked his sleeves and left the venue angrily. Yu Ren glanced at him and didn't speak.

Liang Ruji re-walked onto the stage at this time and said to the brothers in the audience, "Brothers and sisters." What was the purpose of our Juhemen when it was founded? ”

"The entry is a family, regardless of rich and poor." Everyone in the audience shouted.

"In my opinion, we should change this today. How to change it! If it is changed to enter the village, it is a family, regardless of wealth and inferiority. In the past, we have always adhered to a principle, that is, non-Jiangxi people are not allowed to get started. However, can we go back to Jiangxi now, back to the Juhetang of the year? Not anymore.

However, now Yu Xianggong has re-planned a Juhetang for us. Although it is not in Jiangxi, it is a better place than our Juhetang back then. Let's estimate that it will be Juhe Village, and ask Yu Xianggong to be our first village leader. What do you think? ”

"Good ......"

"Let's go to Songjiang tomorrow."

There was an immediate burst of jubilation in the audience. Almost all of these people in Juhemen are the descendants of the children who were cultivated in the 12 years of Juhetang in He Xinyin's era. Their parents or grandparents, like Liang's stepfather, experienced a change that had never been seen before.

In their hearts, those twelve years were a dream, a dream that they could never forget for the rest of their lives. For this dream, they have been running and working hard all their lives, but they have not succeeded. So, this dream was passed on to their children and grandchildren.

After listening to the blueprint of the village designed by Yu Ren, these Juhemen people who have been trying to find their dreams for two or three generations suddenly felt that they were pursuing a lifelong dream with their parents and grandparents, and they were suddenly sent to their eyes. They could even clearly imagine what the village would look like.

What a paradise it is! It is far more real than Tao Yuanming's paradise.

So, without waiting for Liang Ruji's instructions, many people had already collected and fled back to their residences, began to pick up their luggage, and prepared to go to Songjiang.

Yu Ren knew that this would not work, and it was easy for them to do bad things if they acted so recklessly. So he hurriedly wrote a letter, and chose a leader among them, and asked him to go to Songjiang with the letter to find Li Ying first, and asked him to buy the land first. Then he warned the others that they were not allowed to enter the city after arriving in Songjiang. Because so many of them suddenly poured into Matsuyama City all at once, it would inevitably attract the attention of others. It is also easy to attract the attention of the government.

This will inevitably lead to unnecessary trouble. Therefore, Yu Ren made a detailed plan for them after thinking about it.

In a letter to Li Ying, Yu Ren asked her to send people to set up some temporary grass huts on the beach outside the wasteland. And arrange for personnel to be stationed there. And when anyone who had a Juhomen came, he arranged for him to stay there. The things that should be eaten were first provided by their Xu family's brothers on Chongming Island.

After arranging all this, it was already dark. Liang Ruji was worried that Yu Ren would have to stay here for a few more days, so he sent someone to the inn first, and brought a message to the coachman and asked him to wait a few more days.

That night, Yu Ren, Liang Ruji, and several other important figures from Juhemen gathered together to discuss the matter of the Juhe Village they were going to build. After discussing with Yu Ren, the crowd felt more and more that their new leader was far-sighted and extraordinary.

This also made them more and more confident in the future of Juhe Village.

After a night of deep talk, these people gathered in Hemen were more confident. After a night of excitement, they began to organize their journey south.

Since most of the people who came to the meeting were important people from Juhemen, who were scattered all over the country, there were actually only Liang Ruji and his two nephews in the village.

So, as soon as the next day dawned, the people walked away. In the lively courtyard of the Liang family, calm suddenly returned.

Yu Ren saw that things were almost arranged, so he agreed with Liang Ruji that Songjiang would say goodbye and prepare to go back to the inn.

At this time, a family member hurriedly ran in from outside.

"Master, Sect Master Xu is here."

Liang Ruji nodded, a little surprised. He had expected Xu Hongru to come, but he didn't expect him to come so soon.

"Okay, go and invite him in!" Liang Ruji said, glanced behind him, and two fifteen or sixteen girls suddenly flashed out behind the screen, which startled Yu Ren. He had seen these two girls yesterday in the group of disciples of the Gathering Harmony Gate in the backyard, because they were twin sisters, and they were very cute, and he couldn't help but look at them twice. He thought they were going away with the others, but they didn't.

As soon as the two girls came, they pulled Yu Ren and Zhao Rui one by one and hurriedly walked to the backyard.

"You ......"

Yu Ren was puzzled, and was about to ask, but the girl in charge of pulling him quickly stretched out her little hand to cover his mouth.

Yu Ren and Zhao Rui were inexplicably taken to a small study next to them. A girl reached out and pushed a bookcase in her study, revealing a door behind the bookshelf.
