When talking about chickens, ducks and geese, the village chief Zhao Ji paused for a moment.
After looking at the passenger carriage that had driven away, he continued.
"As our village chief, I feel it is necessary for me to explain it carefully to you."
"My suggestion is that everyone raise the subsidized chickens, ducks and geese distributed by the Prefecture. Although it will definitely be a bit tiring at first, once everyone's acres of land are productive, it will be impossible to feed hundreds of chickens, ducks and geese in addition to food at home. questionable."
"And even if you don't want to eat eggs yourself, this is a product that the prefecture buys at a good price. Eggs are one of the sources of military rations in the army. They collect as much as they can. If you want more income for your family, it is better to breed them. good."
"After all, if you miss this time, if you want to raise chickens, ducks and geese, you need to pay the market price to buy them. If you don't want to buy them this time, the prefecture will only pay one-third of the market price, and you will lose money inside and out. Quite a few.”
"Of course, this is just some advice I give you as the village chief. It's up to you to decide what to do."
Zhao Ji explained in detail one by one to the people from Qingzhou at the entrance of the village.
And these people also listened carefully.
After all, they were unfamiliar with this place. When they first arrived here, the only familiar person was the village chief who had been leading them here and there since early in the morning.
After one day of contact, everyone is still very convinced of Zhao Ji.
One is the blind herd mentality brought about by the new environment, and the other is that they really found that Zhao Ji treated them well, dozens of times better than any official they had seen before.
So everyone listened carefully.
After talking loudly at the entrance of the village, Zhao Ji took a breath and looked at the sky getting darker. He shouted a few words to the back of the villagers, and the dozen or so guards who had followed him to assist in village management walked out. the crowd.
"Let's go to the village and light the lamps first. The fish oil and fire seals are at the village office."
The leading guard bowed his hand towards Zhao Ji, and then walked into the Wood Industry Village with a dozen guards.
For these students who graduated from Changchun Academy in Liaoning, Hu Qi naturally would not let them manage a village with little strength. These guards were naturally the armed forces sent by the Prefecture to assist them.
You can't completely disbelieve in the human heart, but you can't believe it completely either. In addition to showing a generous and benevolent side, managers also need to be tough.
To put it bluntly, for these young people who are just managing a village now, the current village is just their starting point. In the future, there will be a wider world waiting for them.
I have explained everything that needs to be explained.
Zhao Ji led these 376 people into the village under the dim dusk scenery.
The construction of Muye Village started in the middle of last year and was completed at the beginning of this year. There are only 80 or 100 villages in Jianyin County among the vacant villages for pre-construction villages.
Because Hu Qi has been planning from the beginning, and has already explored places suitable for building villages and towns.
As one of the people who came out of the Kingdom of God, he unconditionally believed in his Lord, so he must also believe that these villages would have to be repaired sooner or later.
No, this year it is expected to fill more than a hundred villages, large and small, that are still empty in Jianyin County. It is hard to say that there are not enough new villages.
Same as Liaoning.
Jianyin County also implements the configuration of one city, sixteen towns, and one town, sixteen villages.
Muye Village is a village directly under Jianyincheng and is not under the jurisdiction of the town.
There are fifteen more villages like Muye Village around Jian Yincheng.
Muye Village is not big. Zhao Ji just said that the entire village has 400 residences and can accommodate 400 households.
Further outside, there are mountains, forests and hills.
Of course, it is not difficult to expand the area of the village. Just like the ancestors, just expand outward little by little.
As mentioned before, the Wood Industry Village is rich in timber.
And those felled forests will become new residences and farmland in the future.
There is no trouble in distributing houses, because all the houses in the village are almost the same, so there is no difference between better and worse.
The 376 people are all men, the oldest is only thirty, and the youngest is only seventeen. The first batch of immigrants from the Qingzhou Taiping Army selected the only one left in the family, which can avoid many problems in the early stage. problems occur.
As for whether all the men would cause trouble, no one under Zhang Qi was worried. After such hard times, they finally have hope. Those who don't live a good life and want to do random things are considered self-screening.
After all, no matter Lezhou or Yinzhou, the armed forces they possess are not good-looking.
Early the next morning.
Zhao Ji got up earlier than any other villager who settled down.
As the first among the second graduates of Liaoning University, in addition to literary studies, he is also very good in martial arts.
At dawn, he got up and started exercising as a habit. This was a habit he had developed during his six years in school.
Stretching, running, and dancing with the knife, in one hour, he worked up a sweat all his life.
After he finished exercising, the village guards also got up and started training.
This has been a long-standing habit.
Good habits learned from the military.
Turning back to the village office, Zhao Ji simply wiped his body with a wet towel for a while. Looking at the sky, it was already the end of Mao hour, and the villagers who settled down yesterday should get up now.
This is also their habit, working at sunrise and breathing at sundown.
as expected.
After Zhao Ji inspected the village, the villagers who settled down yesterday also walked out of their houses one by one.
"Did you sleep well?"
While patrolling the village, Zhao Ji walked and greeted the villagers who happened to meet him when he went out.
Most of the replies I got were smiling faces.
Although not many people responded, Zhao Ji was satisfied with this. They had a good start and will get better and better in the future.
As the sun rises little by little.
Zhao Ji also fulfilled his promise yesterday. Early in the morning, he took people from house to house to divide the fields in the fields outside the village.
One person has ten acres, no more and no less.
The fields in the village are concentrated in one direction, and supporting water canals cover all the fields.
There is no difference in the fields. The only difference is the distance between the fields and the village.
Zhao Ji solved these problems very well.
Those who lived close to the fields were assigned fields that were neither far nor near; those who lived far away from the fields were assigned the closest fields.
There are more than 300 households in the village, and it only took half a day for Zhao Ji to complete the distribution.
noon.
outside the village.
More than 300 villagers who settled down looked at the fertile farmland in front of them, and everyone was silent for a long time.
Their eyes twinkled.
Or excited.
Or calm.
But more than anything, they are hopes for future life.
