Chapter 158: True 'Treasure Land'
With their consent, I rented a small second floor at the headquarters and opened a "women and infants" hospital for them, which was specially designed to treat women's diseases, and named it Jikuntang. Similar to the maternity hospital in modern society, the first floor is a place to meet guests and grab medicine, and the second floor is a consultation room.
They recruited two more apprentices, girls of twelve or thirteen years old.
There is a small room in the examination room, which is where further examination is needed.
There is also a maternity room and a nursery room in the medical hall, and in the backyard of the small building, a row of bungalows has been newly built in the backyard, which is regarded as an "inpatient department".
The money for the construction of the hospital was paid by the Demon Sect, and the person who built the church was responsible for building it.
In this world and in this era, giving birth to a child is like breaking through a ghost gate.
Previously, the maternal mortality rate and neonatal mortality rate at headquarters were very high.
Now that there are doctors and they have money, I hope the situation will improve.
The women in the headquarters are 100% supportive of the Vice-Sect Leader's efforts to improve the living conditions for women, and they are especially enthusiastic to see me.
As for men, how many are willing to accept change, and a few don't, but they only dare to scold me behind my back.
Even if they are not convinced and are stepped on by women, my strength is here, and none of them dare to stand up and fight me alone.
Simon has no hatred for the new position of deputy head of the sect, and it is held by a woman, and there are not a few people who disagree.
It's just that no matter what attitude they hold, no one dares to stand up and say it clearly.
One is that he is afraid that Simon has no hatred, he is the leader of the sect.
The second is that I am afraid of me, and my martial arts are invincible.
Some of these people gradually changed their original views after the conditions at the headquarters improved.
Some people still firmly believe that "women don't make things", and the Demon Cult will end sooner or later under my leadership.
It's hard for one person to call a hundred people's hearts, and no one says anything behind everyone's back, they scold me in private, and this little thing is not worth my attention.
As long as they move their mouths and don't use their hands, everyone is still in the same boat.
If someone does something that harms the development of the Demon Sect and makes everyone rich together because of dissatisfaction in their hearts, then I can't ignore it.
How others perceive me and what attitudes I have are all collected and disseminated by those few people.
I know that they can't listen to people who speak ill of me and go out of their way to create a positive image for me.
But they themselves think I'm awe-inspiring, I don't understand why they still have to go against the trend, maybe they have the spirit of not hitting the south wall and not looking back.
I came to this world with the original intention of farming, and naturally there is no reason to ask others to plant and not do it myself.
Therefore, when the farming area is allocated in the winter, there is also a piece of land that belongs to me to cultivate.
I was busy with things before, I hired someone to help me plant first, and after a few days of leisure, I was ready to do it myself.
After leading Yunzhou to buy pastries, we went straight to my land.
I thought that the land in the Demon Cult's territory was the same, but when I actually cultivated it, I realized that the land in the area within the mangrove forest was just fertile.
The mangrove area and the surrounding land are simply "black technology" land.
Due to the cold climate, Tengxue can only produce one season of grain a year.
Spring planting and autumn harvest, every year, unchanged through the ages.
But in the area occupied by the mangroves, the crops began to grow wildly, frightening the experienced farmers.
They came from all over the world, all refugees from all over the world, either defected or bought, and came to the Demon Cult to eat.
In their respective hometowns, they had never seen anything like this.
The temperature and humidity remain the same, the planting process and the skills used are the same as before, everything is normal, but the speed of crop growth has changed.
The first grain seeds planted in the spring are harvested in the summer.
They hurriedly planted another batch, and it is expected that there will be another harvest at the end of summer.
If they're lucky, they can grow other crops, such as vegetables with short growing cycles, before winter comes.
Spring in the snow country comes late, and normally the seeds are sown at the end of April and harvested at the end of September.
The land of the Demon Sect's headquarters is obviously different from the land in the rest of Tengxue Country.
It's no wonder it's called "Treasure Land", I think of the "Desert Country" I saw in my travelogue.
The increase of Moguo people is inseparable from the bumper harvest of grain, otherwise it will not be able to feed so many people.
The headquarters of the Demon Cult was built on the ruins of the Desert Country, and since the first ornamental plants were planted, no one touched them anymore.
With landscape plants, it hides its peculiarities.
Originally, I thought that the people of the Demon Cult liked flashy things, but now it seems that maybe the people who founded the Sect have other plans.
For those who love farming, it is equivalent to getting a double card, which is a great thing.
With enough food, they can grow crops with long growth cycles, which are generally more expensive and can be sold for more money.
Because it is not easy for ordinary farmers to seek food and clothing, they will not grow these things on a large scale.
I did not sell the first grain of the harvest, but told it to be stored in the granary.
During the harvest meeting, Elder Gongsun asked me why I didn't sell the grain.
Since you have invested so much money in the early stage, you must return to your capital as soon as possible, right?
I shook my head and said, now that the Demon Cult's farming business has just started, it's best not to leak out the matter of the "treasure land".
There are patrols in the grain field area to watch and prevent outsiders from approaching, so the outside world does not know when the grain will be harvested.
Because there were people who came to make trouble, they only saw when we sowed.
Fortunately, after several waves of people, until the harvest, no outsiders came to spy or sabotage.
As soon as I said this, everyone understood.
The Demon Sect guards the treasure land, and it doesn't have enough self-protection ability, so let others know that this is a treasure land, and the headquarters still has a stable life?
Agree on the general direction, and someone will take care of the other details.
For example, a "secrecy order" is issued, requiring the congregation to keep a secret about the crop growth cycle, or the records of the granary are top-secret documents that need to be stored in a secret compartment, etc., and the heads of the halls and persons in charge should do it.
Now that the first wave of grain has just been harvested, new seedlings have been planted in other people's fields, and the second crop has not yet been planted on the land I contracted.
I bought the seeds a long time ago and brought them to headquarters.
Yunzhou ate all the pastries on the way, and I divided some of the watermelon seeds among him.
Wan'er brought him clothes to wear for work, and there was a small shed at the head of our field for farming tools, and Yunzhou changed into coarse cloth clothes in the shed, changed his shoes, and carried a small basket of seeds, and ran into the field to wait for me to start work together.
I took a few classes with agricultural training courses and borrowed other people's notes to transcribe them.
The knowledge they teach is easy to understand, and it is all in the vernacular.
I followed the steps taught above to dig a pit and sow seeds, Wan'er dug a pit, and Yunzhou put seeds.
In the end, we watered together, and Yunzhou was really happy, shouting "Madame" 800 times.
After sowing the seeds, I led him to play in the field, and in the summer the roadside was full of wildflowers, and he picked a handful of dogtail grass for me, but the flowers were not picked.
Dare to love him is still a person who cherishes flowers, Wan'er covered her mouth and sighed that her son-in-law had a too difficult and bitter life when he was smart in the past, but he didn't expect to pay the price of IQ when he was willing to suffer.
I said in my heart that the IQ is good, and the price of the original body's freedom is life.
Two people who have been reborn in different senses, go home to take a bath after planting, and go to the newly opened restaurant to eat.
The owner of this restaurant is also a woman, and she specializes in home-cooked food, and her steamed steamed buns are simply amazing.
It belongs to the kind that eats every day, eats three meals a day, and does not get tired of eating.
The stir-fry technique is slightly worse, but the stew is particularly fragrant, with the steamed buns just out of the pot, Yunzhou ate two large pots of stews plus six steamed buns.
Wan'er entered the deep house as a maid at a very young age, and the original body was also a small and no one cared about it, and then entered the secret guard camp for training, and the two should not know what the taste of "home" is.
I was deep thinking and was going to learn from my boss
If you have a few hands in the future, it is good to cook at home by yourself.
I wanted to learn only a few things, but I couldn't learn all the crafts that other bosses made a living.
Unexpectedly, the boss wrote down her cooking experience in a booklet and gave it to me as a gift.
She is also a hard-working woman, and to be honest, a woman who is not hard-working is unlikely to come to the Demon Sect.
Unless it is the family of an elder or a hall master, women in the lower levels of the congregation are generally in a bad situation.
Some families were so poor that they couldn't eat and were sold, and some fled with their husbands or family members.
These two are not the worst, and the restaurant owner is even worse.
Not only did she flee with her husband, but the man was also a violent maniac.
And she was very strict with her, and she proposed to go to the rich and noble house to be a cook or servant, but her husband beat her, suspecting that she wanted to escape from him.
There is a trick to make a big pot of rice "Auntie", she wants to go again, and this time she was beaten even harder.
Because all the people who work are men, her husband suspects that she wants to cheat and runs away with a wild man.
In short, whenever she wants to work and subsidize the family, she will attract her husband's fists.
On the way to escape the famine, her mother-in-law fell seriously ill, and her husband finally let her go this time, and sold her to the Demon Sect in exchange for money to treat the old lady.
She didn't know what the Demon Cult did at the time, thinking that she came in as a sacrifice/sacrifice, thinking that she would die happily, but she was not very sad.
After coming in, she relied on her good sewing skills to make shoes in the garment department.
She was beaten by her biological parents since she was a child, and she was beaten by her husband when she got married, and she was full of fear of "family".
The days when she sewed shoes in the Demon Sect were also in a mess.
It wasn't until last fall that I started paying all the members of the Demon Cult that she got her first "income" in her life.
The stagnant water in her heart was slight, and this spring she saw several skilled women succeed in starting businesses, and this wave was even greater.
So with the encouragement of her good sisters, she also used the money she saved to rent a shop.
She doesn't know anything else, but she is good at cooking, and the door she rents is not big, and it is not a storefront on the street.
But the headquarters originally didn't have a place for these consumptions, and suddenly there was, even if it was out of curiosity, there would be people who would patronize it.
The so-called wine fragrance is not afraid of deep alleys, the food she cooks is delicious and inexpensive, those who want to do more work at night and don't have the time to go home to cook, they come to her to eat a bite.
The first batch of grain harvest in spring was abundant, and the vegetables were also enough to grow at home, and the ingredients in the headquarters were sufficient.
The boss raised chickens and ducks in the backyard, and her mother, who had a good relationship with her, asked her children to catch some insects by the way when they were playing, and took them to feed her chickens.
There is a river outside the headquarters, and there is a branch of the tributary next to it, the water is shallow and clear, and there are small fish and shrimp.
Because it was too young to eat it, the children went to catch it and gave it to her to feed the ducks.
The owner felt like she was alive again, and to thank me, she wrote down her cooking experience and experience and gave it to me.
I was surprised that she could write, and she said shyly that when she was a child, she had a little brother who was a childhood sweetheart, the son of the village chief, and a scholar, and what was taught in the school, he would come back to her and teach her again according to what her husband taught.
Two children who have no guesses, secretly studying together has become the best memory of childhood.
However, when I grew up to be a teenager, I reached the age of saying goodbye.
The village chief looked down on her family, and told his son about the right family affairs.
She was also "sold" by her parents to an old bachelor who was fifteen years older than her.
Maybe that memory was too beautiful and precious, and she remembered every word and article that person taught her.
She is easy to read, and it is much easier for people who are not zero-based to learn.
I sent someone to clean up the resort left by the former elders, clean up a yard, and build a library.
You don't need to put too advanced and difficult books, just put some knowledge books, common sense books, and primary medical books.
I'll give it to the person in charge of buying things, and the standard will be as good as he can understand.
Because
The people in charge of procurement have a bit of a cultural background, but not many.
The school opened last year has achieved good results, and a group of students have graduated from the literacy class.
There is always a gap between people and people, and those who are smart and studious graduate early, and those who can't pass the exam continue to study.
If you want to give up, you can do it at any time, and the free school does not force people to study.
When the summer was in full swing, several elders and hall masters mentioned in a meeting that they wanted to build the city wall in the autumn.
They are not afraid that someone will come to challenge, but they are afraid that someone will come to burn and grab grain.
"But this scope is too wide, and we can't cultivate for a thousand years."
The headquarters is full, plus the newly born and those who come to work, there are about 3,000 people.
And to enclose the grain fields with walls, which must be at least five meters high, is equivalent to enclosing the land within the territory of the big city and the surrounding suburbs.
Some people even proposed to build a city wall by using metal made from magic stone ore instead of stone.
After this project is completed, the city wall may be able to stand for a thousand years.
But for those of us, it would take a thousand years to erect it.
After discussing and discussing, the chief of Shang Tangtang's advocacy spoke, and he suggested building a house on the periphery of the grain fields.
Using "houses" and "villages" as walls can not only solve the problem of 24-hour guarding, but also make a buffer zone.
If something happened in the village, the police were immediately alerted, and the headquarters immediately sent people to support and prevent the invaders from entering the grain field area.
This idea is accepted by most people, but living outside the grain fields is very dangerous.
I'm worried that no one will want to move here, and Mr. Zhang thinks that there must be brave men under the reward.
As long as enough benefits are given, there will be people who are willing to take risks.
Oh no, it's to contribute to the Demon Cult.
Of course, each village also has to set up towers to defend the village.
The cultists in the village are not ordinary people who have no kung fu, and they are trained according to the standards of the militia.
I don't have a problem with someone willing to go, the human wall is built faster than the metal wall.
