When he heard that Alchemist Shen was back, Uncle Yong's father rushed over. He was organizing the people to open fields outside. His head and body were covered with mud, and there were beads of sweat on his forehead.
Wu Sheng, however, did not have any objections. He reached out and pulled him tightly, then shook him and said to Jin Wuhuan and others behind him: "This is the first Bailihou under my rule. Chief Jia, he is in charge of the food, clothing, housing and transportation of the entire 218 people in the village, it’s a lot of hard work!”
The old man grinned and said: "Doctor, there are two hundred and nineteen people. In addition, the old man has also changed his surname to Shen!"
Wu Sheng nodded: "Okay, okay, okay, Chief Shen, why did you take another bite?"
The old man said: "The mother-in-law of the Dashu family of the Seventeenth Household has given birth!"
Wu Sheng was a little surprised: "I remember when I left, it was only seven months?"
The old man said: "I gave birth a few days ago, and I begged Lady Dongxue. Dongxue took care of her for three days, and then she recovered. She seems to be living well."
Wu Sheng said happily: "As a reward, from now on, anyone who gives birth to a child, regardless of male or female, will be rewarded fifty coins!"
This reward is not small for ordinary Chinese, not to mention these savages who have just become Chinese. Almost all of them have no money. If they earn this reward, it will be the first savings of the family, which will be enough for them for three months. s expenses.
The commander of Shen Jia went all the way to deliver orders, and the whole head armor was in a state of shock. There were pregnant women who were still working in the fields. Those with big bellies were immediately taken home by the men to raise them. Those who were not pregnant were also pulled back by the men and closed and bolted. Suddenly, the village became pure. , only the laughter of the children in the square continued.
However, Chief Shen did not feel dissatisfied. Instead, he stroked his gray beard and laughed strangely. He was afraid that Wu Sheng would disturb him, so he quickly took him to the outside of the city and showed him the rows of cultivated fields.
After finishing shopping in Toujia, Chief Shen took him to Erjia, two miles away, which was also busy. The monarch has already approved the joint petition signed by Wu Sheng, Lu Fang, and Zhuo Wuzi, agreeing that Wu Sheng would create fifty more households of Chinese people under his rule, expanding his territory to a hundred households, and the personnel would be selected from among the savages.
Gongyin Zhuowuzi fulfilled his promise and after building the wall of Erjia Village, he took his people back to Shangyong to resume his life.
Lu Fangxian was extremely bored, so she took over the resettlement affairs of Erjia. With her subordinates, she was busy creating households and opening fields. Today, Erjia Village is in full swing of building homes.
Seeing Wu Sheng, Lu Fang came up to him and said, "Doctor Shen is back from collecting medicine? Haha, a certain person is idle and good at making decisions. He has placed these barbarians for the doctor. Don't blame the doctor."
Wu Sheng bowed and thanked: "Why do you say this? Dr. Lu has worked hard and worked hard for Mangdang Mountain. I really don't know how to thank you."
Lu Fang smiled and dragged Wu Sheng into the village. She pointed at the various courtyards under construction and introduced her arrangements one by one. She asked Wu Sheng from time to time if they were "appropriate". Wu Sheng accepted them all, saying "very good" and " "Wonderful" and "That's it", the two chatted happily.
A person who has been a Sikong and has been in charge of a country's financial affairs. Lu Fang handles everything in an orderly manner. What could possibly be wrong? Even if there are some awkward places and things that don't fit in with Wu Sheng's urban planning, they are just minor details and will just be adjusted in the future.
Wu Sheng even accepted the armor commander Lu Fang selected and recommended from among the savages without hesitation.
"The Zong Heng family has always had prestige in the barbarian village...Well, I gave this name to Shen Zongheng. His real name is Ji Shanaxe...The ability to build a bridge without pillars is passed down from his family. It is said that He was originally a craftsman from the Ji Kingdom. After the Ji Kingdom was destroyed, he fled..."
"Dr. Lu has unique vision, so he appointed Zong Heng as the commander..."
"I just heard that Doctor Shen issued an order in Toujia that anyone who has a child will be rewarded fifty coins. Can this policy also be implemented in Erjia?"
"Doctor Lu said it's okay, then that's okay..."
"There are still many savages who do not want to return to Dayong after building the road. There are always thirty or forty households. I will first let them choose a place to live along the lower reaches of the river. I will pay 50% of the hunting and farming income. With the doctor, the salary is a little lighter, but after all, it’s a new arrival, so let’s settle down for three years and then increase it to 70%, right?”
"I'm also worried about the weight."
"Doctor Shen's kindness is well known in the country, but the country must not be governed by kindness. If those savages are the same as the people of the country, where will they leave the people of the country? Those savages have also lost their enterprising spirit."
"Understood."
"If there is another household registration in the future, just select the best and be promoted..."
"OK!"
While chatting along the way, Wu Sheng also introduced Jin Wuhuan, his wife, and Yueniang to Lu Fang. What Lu Fang wanted to see the most was that Mangdang Mountain became more and more lively, and it would be best if people from all over came to join them, so he was extremely enthusiastic about them.
When we reach the main peak, the few bamboo houses we left have been expanded to twelve, connected by bamboo pavilions and corridors, surrounding a newly built large bamboo hall in the middle, giving it a somewhat palace-like atmosphere.
This is the doctor's house that Gongyin Zhuowuzi built for him in his spare time. Although the bamboo house is easy to build and does not cost much, Wu Sheng was very moved by Zhuowuzi's thoughtfulness.
Of course, the most touching thing is Lu Fang who spontaneously took over a large number of tedious tasks.
Wu Sheng held a banquet in the largest bamboo hall in the center, roasted the Mangdang mountain pig presented by the savage hunters, invited Lu Fang, all the disciples, and two commanders to the banquet, and also washed the dust of Jin Wuhuan, his wife, and Shen Yueniang.
In order to express his gratitude to Lu Fang, Wu Sheng said: "I plan to hire two worshipers for Mangdang Mountain. They will donate money and silk to each other every year and entrust each other with heavy responsibilities to build the Mangdang Mountain Manor. These worshipers are not my followers, they are not official positions, and they have nothing to do with me. The division between master and slave, cultivation must be limited to refining the gods. Only those with good virtue and talent can be worshiped by me, and I will pay ten gold per year..."
After explaining the meaning of worship in detail and emphasizing the equal relationship again, Wu Sheng asked Lu Fang: "I would like to hire Dr. Lu to serve as a worshiper in Mangdang Mountain and be in charge of the government's financial planning. What do you think of Dr. Lu?"
Lu Fang was transferred from Sikong to Shanling Envoy. Although the fiefdoms around Shangyong were still there, his income had dropped sharply and he had no power. His few disciples could not take advantage of the power or get jobs. They could only rely on Lu Fang. Food. Although the disciples talk about loyalty and practice righteousness, Lu Fang, as the sect leader, has to consider these issues.
Ten gold every year is indeed an excellent supplement. The key is that Wu Sheng gives him the money, which puts him in a high position and makes him feel very comfortable.
"Holy to me? I'm afraid there's something wrong with that, right?" Lu Fang confirmed.
"Doctor Lu has been a great help to me. What's wrong? If you work hard, you will get something. This is only natural!" Wu Sheng quickly advised.
Lu Fang made some excuses and saw that Wu Sheng "had a very strong intention", so he "reluctantly" accepted the appointment - Doctor Shen said that there is no official position and no master. This is a part-time job, and there is no conflict with the Shanling envoy.
He took out ten gold coins as a gift, and took out another twenty gold coins to ask Lu Fang to establish a treasury. This god-refining realm priest took charge of the financial planning of Mangdang Mountain.
Since it was said that there were two people, of course the other one couldn't run away. Wu Sheng bowed to Jin Wuhuan who was present: "I plan to hire brother Jin to worship Mangdang Mountain, and we will pay ten gold per year. I wonder if brother Jin can help me? "
Jin Wuhuan blinked: "I make offerings? What can I do?"
Wu Sheng said: "I plan to set up a preaching hall, and I ask Brother Jin to help me select disciples to preach and teach."
