Between husband and wife, there is no contradiction that cannot be resolved.

If you say, then open a public and be honest.

Cheng Shijie and Xiang Hui met frankly, although Xiang Hui was annoyed by Cheng Shijie's deception, her body was very honest, and her response was unprecedentedly enthusiastic.

An hour later......

Xiang Hui, who was like a mess of mud, seemed to have forgotten all her troubles: "I thought that I would never see Jiayue again in this life, it was good to be able to see Jiayue and be together as a family!" ”

Cheng Shijie also knows that there are some things that must be honest with each other.

He will tell how he met Yang Yunniang, how he accepted Jin Qiaoer, how he accepted Yang Wan'er, and how he married Zhu Weiyuan, and became the captain of the Ming Dynasty and the brother-in-law of Emperor Chongzhen.

Then, because of the Luzon incident, in order to get the help of overseas Chinese in Nanyang, he had to reluctantly accept more than 20 women.

Xiang Hui was so angry that he couldn't suffer a loss, he had to squeeze Cheng Shijie dry, and he was honest with each other for the second time......

Another hour later, Xiang Huixiang was drenched in sweat, and she asked, "How can you bear so many warblers and swallows?" ”

"I'm not idle every day, not only to govern the 20 million people in Liaodong, but also to take care of hundreds of thousands of troops, all kinds of things, busy with my heels, straight to the back of the head, how can I have time to think about other trivial matters?"

Cheng Shijie continued: "Originally, I just wanted to make some money and earn medical expenses for Jiayue, but I unconsciously did a lot of practical things, helped countless people change their original fate, and let those people who were originally dead have a way to live, looking at their grateful and happy smiles, I feel that what I have done is very fulfilling!" ”

Cheng Shijie chatted with Xiang Hui about what he had done here over the years, and unconsciously, his hands began to be dishonest again.

Although Xiang Hui is very vegetable, she loves to play, and after a fierce battle, Xiang Hui finally couldn't hold on and fell asleep.

Cheng Shijie looked at the sleeping Xiang Hui, and finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and passed the test.

He remembered that a certain female writer said that only in bed is the passage to a woman's heart, and only by opening the channel of the heart, no matter what you do, you will be forgiven, and no matter what the fault is, it will be written off.

Xiang Hui slept until noon, and when she woke up, Cheng Jiayue was standing in front of the bed.

Xiang Hui said: "Jiayue, you get up first, mom has to get dressed!" ”

At this moment, two young palace ladies came in, Xiang Hui was not used to being served, but the problem was that she really didn't know how to wear women's clothes in the Ming Dynasty, with three layers inside and three layers outside, and she didn't know how to start at all.

Xiang Hui finally realized the luxury of life in the Ming Dynasty, washing had to be served, painting and makeup were in charge of a special palace lady, and even eating was served by countless people, and Xiang Hui slowly got used to it.

Cheng Shijie took Cheng Jiayue, Cheng Jialong, as well as Xiang Hui, Zhu Weiyuan and Yang Yunniang, etc., to accompany Xiang Hui to visit Jinzhou City.

Xiang Hui looked at Jinzhou City in front of him, and even had an illusion that he seemed to be in a small town, with straight cement roads, wide streets, neat and uniform shop fronts, and even artificial traffic lights.

If it weren't for the fact that there were no telephone poles on the streets and no cars, it would be no different from the towns of later generations.

Xiang Hui even experimented with the public carriage in Golden State City, which took the form of a horse like the Shire Horse, which could tow a five-ton cart, and the trunk became larger as the force of the cart increased. Especially when the four-wheeled carriage is driving on the cement road, it is more labor-saving.

This kind of carriage is somewhat similar to the minibuses of later generations, with a full twenty seats, all of which are the kind of small row seats that sit opposite each other, which are very clean and free of any dust.

Now Jinzhou City is very large, dozens of times larger than the historical Jinzhou City, the inner city and the outer city have lost the role of the city wall, Jinzhou is also a city without curfew, no city gates.

There are more than two million people living in this city, which is twice as many as the people in Beijing, and more people means more consumption, not to mention that Jinzhou is far richer than Beijing, how many cattle and sheep does Beijing consume in a day? I'm afraid it's less than one-tenth of the Golden State, and there's a lot of dairy products.

The relationship between Yang Yunniang and Zhu Weiyuan and Xiang Hui has also quietly changed with shopping.

Because Xiang Hui is older than Zhu Weiyuan and Yang Yunniang, it is reasonable to be called a sister.

At the end of December, the Dingxin Dynasty lasted six months, and finally completed the first census of the Dingxin Dynasty, the results were unexpected, because of the abolition of the poll tax, because of the division of land, there is no point in concealing the population, this time the population statistics results, the Ming Dynasty is currently in addition to Shanxi, Shaanxi, Gansu, Qinghai and other areas controlled by the Western Qin, the total number of households is 52,934,763, the total population is 214,385,792 people, an average of about 4.05 people per household.

Now the population is only more.

What happened in this situation was that Cheng Shijie artificially changed the population structure, such as Shizhu Tusi and other young people who originally belonged to the Tusi population, especially those who were relatively well sinicized, were directly counted as Han people.

Of course, now it is not like the future generations, everyone thinks that the Han people are proud, even if they can't say a word, they also want to become Han people, these Tusi population, in fact, has not been counted by the Ming court.

Now there are two cities with a population of more than one million in the Ming Dynasty, namely Jinzhou and Beijing, there are 19 cities with a population of more than 500,000, and 47 cities with a population of more than 200,000, of course, this is only the urban population.

In fact, there is another fundamental reason for the increase in population, that is, it is rich in natural resources, especially the population of Luzon, and now the population of Luzon has officially exceeded 10 million, reaching more than 11.9 million.

The immigrants who arrived in Luzon in the early stage owned thousands of acres of land at least, and almost everyone was a small landlord, because the land could be divided after giving birth, and the more soil the better. So having more children has become the consensus of almost everyone.

There are nearly 12 million people in Luzon, including more than 3 million newborn babies, which is a very terrifying number, because the land of the Ming Dynasty has been increasing, and the per capita land ownership is increasing, which also forces the Ming Dynasty to enter the era of mechanization in agriculture, and use machinery to obtain high manpower.

At present, a steam rotary cultivator has been produced in Liaodong, and a fire ox (steam engine) can plough 30 acres of land every day, which is dozens of times the efficiency of cattle ploughing, and the fire ox will not be tired.

Xiang Hui spent a day in Jinzhou and said to Cheng Shijie: "This is too backward, what have you done in the past few years?" ”

Cheng Shijie is proud of things, in the eyes of Xiang Hui, it is not worth mentioning.

"The foundation is too poor, there is no way!"

Xiang Hui said: "How can there be no way, you don't have the ability to transport machinery from the next generation, you can completely carry knowledge......

"You don't know how low Daming's literacy rate is now!"

Cheng Shijie explained: "Now there are more than 200 million people in the Ming Dynasty, and less than 10 million people can read and write. The current Ming Dynasty is even more backward than Africa in later generations, at least there is a certain industrial base! ”

Xiang Hui patted Cheng Shijie on the shoulder and said, "You are too conservative!" ”

"It's completely possible to work backwards from small words!"

Xiang Hui said: "The first thing you have to solve is the communication problem, and the walkie-talkie, you can't make some military radios?" That old-fashioned, backward electronics, military-grade communication radio ......"

"It's hard to buy, look for white gloves!"

Xiang Hui smiled: "You can also order, just find a small electronics factory, you can order, as long as the money is in place, nothing is impossible!" ”

Cheng Shijie turned on the coolie mode, and he transported the gold of the Ming Dynasty to future generations, but the problem is that if he does his best to carry it, he will make up to three trips a day, and Cheng Shijie's physical strength will not be able to stand it.

For his own safety, he can only carry 500 catties a day, which is the limit.

Looking at the gold in the bank vault, Cheng Shijie also sighed, these golds can make beautiful countries cry, there are currently 35,800 tons of gold in the world, and more than 8,000 tons of beautiful countries.

But Cheng Shijie is currently holding nearly 3,000 tons in his hands.

If you want to buy something, you can buy a lot.

With Xiang Hui, the family is neat, and Cheng Shijie has no worries now, so let's do it.

……

After this period of hard work, they burned the grass and cultivated more than 45,000 acres of fields, planting wheat, corn, potatoes and sweet potatoes.

Because the wheat is not adapted to the climate here, the growth is not very good, and the most important thing is that they farm according to the 24 solar terms of the Ming Dynasty, but in fact, the climate here is not suitable.

In fact, there is no shortage of food in Zhanzhou, especially the kangaroos everywhere, Australians do not like to eat kangaroo meat, and the smell is very strong, it is difficult to accept for people who are not short of food in later generations, but the problem is that people who come to Zhanzhou rely on supplies from the sea, their food comes from Luzon or Annam, and some of them are purchased from the Dutch (Indonesia).

can only ensure that the prisoners are full, but don't think about eating well, by chance, Wang Yangxi and his partners slaughtered a kangaroo and cooked it directly in a pot.

When Wang Yangxi was in the capital, he could only eat and play, and those who could eat naturally knew how to cook, so Wang Yangxi used unique seasonings to remove the fishy and fat, and the kangaroo meat cooked by him tasted similar to beef, and it was very chewy.

As a result, Wang Yangxi, the former son-in-law, became the chef of the immigration point of Zhanzhou.

In any era, cooks are not hungry, and they cannot be offended, although they do not have the power to distribute food, and they do not need to turn the spoon, but if they are offended, they dare to spit in the dish, and they can add things indiscriminately.

Wang Yangxi's status has risen.

Chen Dachun still likes to talk to Wang Yangxi, he said to Wang Yangxi, who was cooking kangaroo meat: "There is an order from above, our camp will be set up as a town, and ten hundred households will be established, what is the name of our town?" ”

Wang Yangxi thought for a while and said: "My ancestral hometown is Ba County, so it's better for us to call it Xinba Town here!" ”

"This is the town guard, why do you call it your ancestral home?"

Chen Dachun said: "My ancestral hometown is Henan City, so it will be called Xinfang Town!" ”

"Whatever you want, left and right are just a name!"

During the conversation between the two, the name of a town was determined, so this became Xinfang Town, and several labor prisoners with stone carving skills carved the three big characters "Xinfang Town" on a huge stone.

Xinfang Town is just an empty shelf, and there are only Wang Yangxi and more than 300 people in the whole staff, of which the proportion of men and women is about the same, and there are slightly fewer women.

Wang Yangxi saw that another group of newcomers were coming, and his mood was inexplicably better.

"What are you doing? If you want to eat meat, you can do it yourself, there are no servants waiting for you here! ”

Although this guy had a very bad attitude, and he didn't expect him to give a good face, the prisoners still cheered and acted.

Most of these guys are sons and brothers, and it is not good for them to do heavy work, but they are better at eating, drinking and having fun. Among them, there are quite a few who are proficient in cooking, these guys copy knives, peel and disembowel kangaroos with their hands and feet, take out the internal organs and clean them, chop them into the pot, and the knife skills, that craftsmanship, are not inferior to the chefs.

Wang Yangxi is really free of kangaroo meat and seafood in Xinfang Town, and eating a full meal does not mean happiness.

It was also dark, and everyone was exhausted, so they drilled into the wooden house, and soon fell asleep.

Wang Yangxi couldn't sleep, he lay on the bed, staring at the roof of the wooden house with wide eyes, distraught, not sleepy at all. In the middle of the night, there was a whining and crying from the neighboring hut, and a poor creature cried, and cried very sadly.

Hearing the other party crying, Wang Yangxi also had an urge to cry, he was born in a scholarly family, his father Wang Yingxiong was in a high position, he was born with a golden key, no matter where he went, there were people holding it, there was endless money, endless wine and beautiful women, how comfortable this is.

However, now he is exiled to a place he has never heard of, thousands of miles away from home, and he never knows if he can go back in this life. But it's useless to be sad, he has to pay for the mistakes made by Wang Yingxiong!

Can I go back in this life?

I don't know, but I have to keep going. Only by persevering can there be hope of going home, and if you die, there is no hope!

He didn't know when he fell asleep, but after a moment of dazed sleep, the whistle sounded, and the soldiers shouted from one cabin to another in a thunderous voice: "Get up, it's dawn!" Get up and run! ”

The people in exile in Zhanzhou are all under militarized management, and there is definitely no freedom, even if there are female labor prisoners not far from the door, they dare not talk to them, let alone use their hands and feet.

Those who serve in the army will not be polite to them.

Wang Yangxi is used to it, but the new sons and buddies can't stand it, and they are suddenly in mourning, and many people have just fallen asleep!

The soldiers who urged them to get up were a group of impatient fellows, they carried a whip sewn from canvas and filled with fine sand, and they looked at each wooden house, and saw which one was still dragging and refusing to get up, and they whipped it directly, and the screams continued one after another......

Except for those who were too sick to get out of bed, those who could get up were driven out, and then lined up and began to run under the leadership of the officer.

A few big-headed soldiers chased after him, and when they saw which one fell last, they kicked him with a and a loud roar: "Hurry up!" ”

An unlucky guy was beaten and cried, and ran while crying.

Five kilometers is a compulsory course, and now Wang Yangxi is also used to it, after he finishes running, he has to cook, this is his job, breakfast is relatively simple, lunch is also simple.

Wang Yangxi is happy, he doesn't have to be exposed to the sun, but those unlucky guys are different, under the leadership of the officers, they began to make some simple tools and prepare to build a house.

The conditions were limited, they could only build brick houses, the bricks were still mud bricks, and the exiles dug up a large amount of yellow mud and mixed it with water under the command of the soldier's whip, and then pressed the mud into a mold, and a mud brick was ready.

This kind of mud brick has to be dried for a long time and then completely dried before it can be used. This is a hard job, this simple brick requires a lot of mud, not to mention anything else, just digging the soil and carrying water can break people's waists!

There were also some people who built simple cellars under the command of the leather whip, made tiles out of mud to dry, put them in and burned them, and then took them out when the fire was extinguished, and they were all burned red.

Of course, since you want to build a house, wood is naturally indispensable, and the nearest woods are more than ten miles away, cutting down trees has become the most feared work for everyone, wood is already heavy to death, and you have to carry it on more than ten miles, which is the rhythm of tiring people!

The soldiers divided them into three groups and took turns to cut down trees, so that no one wanted to escape, so every day a group of people were tired into dogs.

Under their hard work, the town of Xinfang rose from a barren land, built the walls of the town fort, dug trenches, and built guard towers.

Fortunately, the Ming people were very vigilant, and within a month and a half of their arrival, the natives finally appeared, covering the mountains and fields, with thousands of people, but the Ming Royal Army was not vegetarian, and after only a few shots, the natives were scared away.

Xinfang Town finally ushered in the full number of ten hundred households, but before they could get happy, another order was issued from above: "In view of Comrade Chen Dachun's excellent work and the completion of the task ahead of schedule, from now on, Xinfang Town will be upgraded to Xinfang County, with Chen Dachun as the director of the Xinfang Executive Committee and the commander of the Xinfang garrison battalion!" ”

Chen Dachun wanted to cry without tears. (End of chapter)
