Liujia Village is not big, only more than 100 households. Basically, they are all thatched houses. Most of the brick houses were the hardest hit by the military disaster, and the whole family often died.

However, in the ninth year of Hongwu, because the world was settled, every family was allocated the field, and of course life was getting better day by day.

After the materials purchased from Nanjing City yesterday were distributed, people from every household came to Zhang Yifan's house one after another to repair the house and expand it, so they naturally wanted to help.

Zhang Yifan saw that there were many people, so he beckoned the villagers to the door, and then he climbed the willow tree at the door first, condescendingly, and said to the villagers below: "Uncles, be quiet, listen to me!" ”

Although I don't know what he wants to do, the whole village knows that he has rejected the invitation of the big family yesterday, and wants to stay in the village to help everyone live a good life, no matter whether he can live a good life or not, at least in their opinion, he is already a capable person in Liujia Village, this is their current consensus.

Therefore, when they heard him speak, they all fell silent around the willow tree.

Zhang Yifan glanced at their faces and said loudly: "Yesterday, the girl gave me some money, I want to repair the houses and roads in our village, and in addition, I also have ideas for planting the fields of various families in the village." If you can listen to me, I will arrange the affairs of the village, you follow me, I will ensure that you have new clothes to wear every year, and life is getting better and better every year, how about it? ”

If Zhang Yifan had said so three days ago, no one would have paid attention to him, and even took a broom to drive him away when he was naughty.

But now, not to mention anything else, as soon as Zhang Yifan has money, he thinks of the people in the village and pays money to buy necessary daily necessities for every household, which makes them impressed.

Not to mention, the big families in the city were polite to Zhang Yifan, and even wanted to recruit him, even if they didn't usually see it, it was enough to prove that Zhang Yifan was actually capable!

No, as soon as Zhang Yifan finished speaking, Tian Dazhuang shouted loudly below: "Okay! ”

His family is usually close to Zhang Yifan, and Zhang Yifan also found a stable wife in the city for his wife to give birth to a child, so he unconditionally supported Zhang Yifan's request.

The big bull's side is also supportive.

The other villagers, most of them are smiling, not very supportive, but they are not opposed, and they are mainly happy to participate in the chat.

"Old Liutou, Zhang Wazi is going to rob you of your official position!"

"Haha, old willow, what are you going to do? No Xiaofan is rich! ”

“……”

Lao Liutou, whose real name is Liu Wu, is in his forties, is the Li Zheng of Liujia Village, that is, the village chief of later generations, not an official, but when the government comes to the village, it is to find Li Zheng first.

As soon as he heard these words, he immediately laughed and said, "That's good, I wish someone would do the right work for me!" ”

"Don't, don't!" When Zhang Yifan heard this, he hurriedly spoke, "Uncle Liu, you continue to be your lizheng, I don't like to deal with the government." I just want to take my uncles for a good life! ”

If you don't have power, it's the hardest thing to deal with officials. After all, Hades is good at saying that little ghosts are difficult, that's the truth.

Liu Wu also watched Zhang Yifan grow up, listened to him, immediately laughed, and then raised his head and asked, "Xiaofan, what do you want to take the big guy to do?" ”

Zhang Yifan listened to it and knew that Liu Wu probably agreed, but he still wanted to see his proposal to weigh it. So he immediately announced: "First of all, I want to repair all the houses and roads in our village, after all, the rainy season is coming." Then the fields in the village are also concentrated, the plan is unified, and the water conservancy facilities are also worked together, and the strength of the people is great, so we will do these things well first, and then we will continue to do other things! ”

At this time, it still belonged to the post-war recovery period, and the imperial court implemented it as a policy of recuperation. In other words, this is also a time of low productivity, and if you go it alone, you will have limited results.

It is based on this understanding that Zhang Yifan wants to make overall arrangements and start with a collective system.

In fact, at this time, there was also a collective system, which played a great role in promoting the restoration of productive forces. That is the system of guards that Zhu Yuanzhang began to implement in the third year of Hongwu.

With the army as a unit, part of it performs military responsibilities, and part of it is tuntian. Among them, there is a gap between the north and the south. This kind of play played a positive role in the early Ming Dynasty.

Liu Wu was a little more knowledgeable than others, and when he heard Zhang Yifan's words, he frowned and said: "I don't object to you doing this, but you must know that if you want to do so many things, although the big guys have a lot of strength, it still costs a lot of money, right?" ”

When the other villagers heard this, they also chimed in.

"Yes, we have the strength, but we don't have the money!"

"Do you think we want to live in a thatched hut forever? We're all thinking about getting a daughter-in-law!! ”

"That's right, in the kiln of Zhangjia Village, I heard that the price of bricks is rising, and I don't know when I can save money!"

“……”

Zhang Yifan looked at these uncles, all of them were wearing patched clothes, the difference was only how many patches, so he said with a smile: "Uncles, you don't have to worry about the money, I have it, I will come out, but I just have one request, what I say, I have to listen to me!" ”

As long as the village is twisted into a rope and cement and glass are made back, there is no fear that those who are in power will come to rob it.

Because in this Hongwu Dynasty, you can sue the emperor, this is not a façade effort, but a serious thing, or it can be said that there is a real civil complaint in the Hongwu Dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang even decreed that if there are corrupt officials, the people can be arrested and sent to the capital for trial, and there must be no obstruction along the way.

And outside the Purple City, a big drum was also set up, and the people beat this drum to sue the emperor.

If the public opinion of one or two people can be ignored, the public opinion of a village of several hundred people, or a village outside Nanjing, will definitely be able to make a fuss.

And the current emperor will definitely stand on the side of the people.

This is also an important reason why Zhang Yifan decided to twist the village into a rope, so that he can let go of his hands and feet, improve his life, and also drive the villagers to get rich together.

Hearing that he paid money, although some people persuaded him not to spend indiscriminately and keep the money to marry a daughter-in-law, most of the people were smiling, and the cheering voices drowned out these people's suggestions.

Just when they were lively, Zhu Di arrived.

The main reason is that the two stable women he brought with him can't ride horses, so they can only come by carriage, so they are slow.

Seeing the commotion here in the village, he was suddenly a little worried: Don't that Zhang Yifan has money in his hands and is coveted, right?

Although he hadn't seen how much money Zhu Jingjing gave, with his understanding of Zhu Jingjing, he could guess that there was definitely a lot of money in the brocade box.

Thinking like this, he immediately became serious, and with a wave of his hand, he urged the war horse to speed up, and surrounded by his guards, rushed to the head of the village with a battlefield momentum.
