Chapter 322: Changes in Dujiang Mansion

The newly built walls are majestic and sturdy, with soldiers patrolling back and forth at the top of the walls, as well as watchtowers and firestands.

The open gates seemed loose, but in fact they were loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and the soldiers patrolling the city would pass through the gates every half an hour.

The main road and the houses on both sides have obvious signs of repair, giving people a new look.

The bluestone pavement where two horse-drawn carriages pass side by side, and there are flower beds on both sides of the street at intervals.

The flower beds are planted with common wildflowers, bringing spring and playfulness to the quaint streets, which is a sight to behold.

The inside of the flower bed can be carried by pedestrians and carried baskets, and will not affect the passage of horse-drawn carriages or mule carts.

As soon as Ziyu saw this design, she knew that it was a plan proposed by Libai, because it was completely based on the concept of later generations.

There are very few people coming and going on the clean streets, and many shops are closed, and even if they are open, most of the shops are guarded by the elderly.

"Fort master, those shops that are closed are because the strong laborers have gone to participate in the construction of roads and embankments.

First of all, I want to state that I don't have a hard work, they are all actively involved.

For a strong laborer who does a day's work has a litre of grain to take, and is never in arrears.

At the end of the month, there is still a certain amount of salary, although it is not very much.

But the way we settle grain and money is much higher than the wages in the south.

The fact that the people were able to get back food with only their labor and a free meal at noon was very popular.

The grain we sell in the market has always been controlled within the acceptable range of the people.

I have heard from those who have come to the south to defect to us that the price of grain in the south is twice as high as ours, and many people cannot afford to buy food at all. ”

Ma Wei frowned slightly when he saw Ziyu looking at both sides of the street, and hurriedly explained that he also hoped that the castle owner would allocate more money for construction.

He had heard that Xin'an County was completely demolished and rebuilt, and it was to be built into a model county on the entire Daxiawan site.

What is a model county, he does not understand.

But know, that must be the best meaning.

The current Dujiang Mansion is only the road and street into the city that have been fully repaired, and the more you go inside, the more dilapidated the streets and houses become.

Urban planning is also not good, because it is easy to form waterlogging in the rainy season, and the phenomenon of dirty mess is very serious.

Ronghe Mansion will be built into the most luxurious mansion city, and Dujiang Mansion will not become the most dilapidated mansion!

"The shopkeeper is busy earning food, so what should the people do when they buy daily necessities."

Ziyu didn't expect that the merchants in Dujiang Mansion would also have to earn food, which seemed a bit too poor.

"There is a market every five days, and further inside there is a newly renovated market, which used to be the original garbage dump in Dujiang Province.

Vendors who enter the stall will be charged according to the size of the stall they rent, with the highest being 5 cents at a time and the lowest being 2 cents.

You can also pay a monthly or annual subscription, the price is discounted, and no matter how small the mosquito legs are, they are also meat!

There are too many places in Dujiang Mansion to use silver, exempt the people from paying taxes for three years, and they have to find a way to earn a little money by themselves. ”

Ma Weiyuan thought of the silver used every day, flowing out like water, and the silver earned back could only be calculated in writing.

At first, this kind of life beyond making ends meet made his heart ache so much that he couldn't close his eyes for several nights.

He wanted to build the road to Xingyuan Mansion as soon as possible and open a dart bureau to be responsible for carrying people, delivering goods, and running errands.

Adding up a small amount can not only provide jobs for the people, but also gather idle people from three religions and nine streams, which is also a force to be reckoned with.

"It's good to have a market, don't underestimate that kind of place, it will be one of the most profitable places in the future.

Why didn't you see a beggar on the street, was it cleaned up! ”

Since entering the city, Ziyu has never seen a single beggar, and even later generations have professional beggars, let alone a dynasty that can't eat here.

"Hahaha, the beggars who can work either build roads or embankments, and the weak go to the construction site to help with chores.

Besides, every beggar has a share of land, and they are too busy with their own work, so how can they have time to beg.

Some of the little beggars were adopted, after all, there were two more acres of land and one acre of land for one more person.

The older beggars did not want to be sent to the fence, so they let them form their own group under a household register, and the house they lived in was built with the help of the government.

Therefore, there is not a single beggar in Dujiang Mansion now. ”

The governance of beggars is the most rewarding thing for Ma Weiyuan.

Although today's Dujiang Mansion is poor, there is no beggar who does not say it, and he can still stay open at night.

"Yes, he is well governed, and he is a good official who does things for the people.

Building a seawall is important, but it is important to make way for the autumn harvest and not to lose sight of one or the other.

Only when the people have food at home can they engage in production and construction with peace of mind and support the current government.

The next step is to open a college, and the reconstruction of the inner city must also be put on the agenda step by step. ”

After walking the main road into the city, Ziyu looked at the potholed stone road in front of him, and there were low and dilapidated houses on both sides.

This is the Dujiang Mansion she saw at the beginning, and all she saw from a distance was this kind of environment.

"Alas, it's all money!"

Ziyu, who sighed, thought of the gold and silver she had accumulated, and it was going to flow out in an uproar, and her heart twitched with pain.

Demolition, which in this dynasty can be said to be a money-losing business, has to be carried out.

Ma Weiyuan, who was following behind, heard the words of the castle owner and knew that the rebuilt silver was in order.

He grinned so happily that he didn't dare to laugh out loud, for fear that he would annoy the castle lord with a smile.

Isn't his silver flying?

Libai knew that Ziyu was heartache again, and her money-obsessed nature was guilty again.

In the end, he will still spend a lot of money on construction.

Li Bai was already thinking about who the next target would be, and it seemed that it was the most appropriate to go to Yundu.

After all, those generals in the north made a lot of war money, and they also took it from the people for the people.

No waste at all!

When the group arrived at the mansion, this was the best house Ziyu had seen all the way.

The houses around the government are also significantly better than other buildings.

The mottled marks on the blue brick walls show the age of the house and the sturdy materials of the house.

"Castle Master! Top dog!

Inside, please, in order to facilitate the office, we all live in the backyard of the government.

There should be no one now, and they won't be back until the evening. ”

Ma Weiyuan turned sideways and led Ziyu and his party into the mansion and led the way to the backyard in front.

The errands in the palace were all his guards, and since they were very familiar with Ziyu and his party, someone had already rushed to the backyard to clean up the room where the boss lived.

Walking through the verandah, Ziyu found that the garden was full of vegetables, both in the front and back yards.

A good three-entry yard makes a group of people look like a small farm yard.

"Whoever comes up with the idea of growing vegetables is not afraid of being seen by outsiders and laughing at your poor and sour appearance."

Ziyu was depressed, these guys didn't talk about growing vegetables, and they also poured dung.
