Feng Zhen could never have imagined that his obedient and obedient eldest son would suddenly dig such a big hole for him at a critical moment.
He was still on the road at this time.
From Nansheng Ningzhou to Dongqing Wanzhou, the two places are far apart. Fengzhen and his group have been on the road for more than a month, and their bones will be bumped and broken. In addition to the fatigue of boats and cars, the climate temperature in the north and south also makes Fengzhen not suitable. The cold in Nansheng is dank and cold with moisture, and the bones are shivering from the freezing. The cold in Dongqing winter is the overwhelming snow and wind, and you have to be fully armed when you go out.
When they arrived in Maruzhou, it was less than a month before New Year's Eve. Most of the people stayed at home for the winter, and few people could be seen on the road.
It was freezing cold outside, but the inside was thawed with warmth.
Inside the carriage, Feng Zhen and Qian Su were both fully armed, wearing brocade hats and sable furs, with warm hand stoves in their arms.
Qian Su is a southerner who grew up in a warm water town. When did he ever see such heavy snow in the north
At first, I was a little excited, but after watching it for a long time, the freshness faded away, and I was only worried about the people in my heart.
"The snow is so thick that I don't know how the people will spend this winter..."
Although it is said that the snow is a good year, but the snow is too heavy, that is a snow disaster, and the quality of people's houses is not good. I don't know how many people's houses are crushed by snow every winter. Without a house that shelters the wind and rain from the cold, how can I live in such a cold winter—
Qian Su's brows were stained with sadness. On the other hand, Fengzhen was in a good mood all the way, and even Yaxing had a drink with warm wine, and his cheeks were flushed.
In the end, he really couldn't stand it any longer, so he explained two sentences, which relieved Qian Su.
"You didn't notice that we were walking all the way, and you didn't see a dead body on the side of the road?"
Not to mention the corpses that were frozen to death outside, they didn't even see a few living people, but the snow on the official road was cleaned up.
Feng Zhen praised his lord and said with a smile, "The lord is lenient under his rule and treats the people very well, how can they not even have a good winter? This year's heavy snow is not too heavy, and the people have already made regulations for dealing with it. Even if the houses where the people live are overwhelmed by snow, the government will place them in places of refuge, and if they go back after the houses are repaired, they won’t have any problems.”
Outsiders say that the hype is not as good as seeing it with his own eyes. Feng Zhen smiled and said, "You will know when you enter the city."
In fact, without having to go to the city, Qian Su also knew that her worries were a bit unnecessary.
After entering Maruzhou, Qian Su discovered a very strange phenomenon. There are always villages near Guandao, and the houses in these villages are still neat and tidy, like multiple brothers born from a mother's womb. It is important to know that the villages of the common people are built in a variety of ways. Not only are they not good-looking, the quality is not firm, and their locations are also messy. These villages are not the same. They are neat and comfortable to look at.
Not only that, but from time to time he saw people climbing on the roof to clean up the snow.
The distance was a little far, and he couldn't see the appearance of the people, but he could see that the other party was dressed thick enough to keep out the cold.
Feng Zhen explained to him, "The villages near the Guandao are all newly built by the government recruiting refugees. Most of these people are refugees, and some of them are people from the villages in the deep mountains. They migrated from the mountains through the government. Near the Dao, in fact, it is also convenient for them to transport food. With the official road extending in all directions, the people can transport the agricultural products accumulated at home to various places for sale.”
This place is not far from the deep mountains, and there are also farmlands that have been opened up, where the people can cultivate and rest and become self-sufficient.
Of course, the maintenance of official roads is also borne by these villages in turn. For example, in winter snow, each is responsible for cleaning a certain section of the road.
After a winter, the government will allocate a certain amount of grain or various plants for spring planting to the people of these villages.
Qian Su said, "It's hard to leave the homeland, will they be willing to leave the place where their ancestors lived for generations?"
"At first, some people were really unwilling, and even suspected that there was a conspiracy." Feng Zhen smiled and said, "Dongqing has also experienced several years of war, and the people have suffered greatly. The government moved them, changed houses, and sent them home. With fertile fields, spring crops, farm implements, and cattle, who would really stick to the old place and refuse to move their nests? Trees die and people live. As long as some people in a village become rich, others will be stubborn no matter how stubborn they are. Heartbroken. The lord has a great heart, and these people are not ignorant of good or bad…”
Except for a few henchmen, no one knew what kind of big game Jiang Pengji was playing.
After hearing this, Qian Su agreed with Fengzhen's remarks, Jiang Pengji was indeed a benevolent master. It is really rare to spend so much human, material and financial resources just to let the people live a good life and live in a good house. Many princes only know how to develop themselves and extract more capital from the people to compete in the world. It is rare that such a prince is willing to sacrifice his own interests to benefit the common people.
The more he understood, the more ashamed Qian Su felt for his former self.
Prejudice really sucks!
Feng Zhen listened to Qian Su's words, but did not smile.
It is true that Jiang Pengji benefits the common people, but this construction plan is not just for the common people.
Because of the troubled times, many people were born unable to register their household registration, and belonged to black households. Without household registration, it was impossible to conduct population audits.
Without precise demographics, how will future tax laws be enforced
Migrating people to fixed villages, counting the population, and arranging household registration is not only for the benefit of the people, but also for the unified management of the people and to ensure social order. These houses are not given away. They are still rented to the people at low prices, encouraging people to produce and create value, and then buying the permanent residence rights of the houses from the government... These are invisible demographic dividends.
In Maruzhou, such villages abound.
These villages are all built around arable land and roads built by the government. There are at least 40 or 50 households in a village, and as many as 100 households in a village.
Of course, these constructions are not achieved overnight. Basically, it is necessary to repair a village and move a group of people.
At first, the people were reluctant. Later, they all craned their necks, hoping for the stars and the moon, hoping that it would be their turn.
The car wheel continued to roll forward, and it didn't take long to see the tall and majestic Xiangyang.
It is said that the county is no longer attached. The permanent population here is even larger than that of the largest state capital, and the city keeps expanding outwards.
Of course, these expansions are by-laws.
After entering the city, Qian Su fell into silence once again when he saw the neat and tidy houses in the city.
If he knew that there is a word in the world called "obsessive-compulsive disorder", he would probably understand the feeling in his heart.
Whether it is village construction or city construction, is the principal's obsessive-compulsive disorder reaching a hopeless late stage
The house should be neat and tidy, the decoration of the eaves should be exactly the same, the building specifications should not be different in one place, and even the blue bricks on the ground must follow certain rules... Because Jiang Pengji was in the Huangshuihui League Anli blue brick production method, many The princes also started tossing when they went back, but they were different. The blue bricks were not very beautiful and neat, but Xiangyang was different here! ! !
After staying in such a neat place for a long time, it is estimated that even the character will be subtly transformed.
