The material of the plaque was fine, and the words on it were elegant and graceful, with a majestic and majestic aura. She had seen the general's calligraphy before, and this plaque was inscribed by him personally.

The plaque reads "Jiang's Residence" on the top and "A Family of Great Kindness" below, and the general's official seal is also stamped on the lower right corner.

Jiang Yue smiled and saluted, "Thank you for your kindness, sir!"

With this plaque, everyone knows that they have the General's Mansion as their backer, and ordinary thieves dare not have any evil ideas. This thank-you gift is quite good!

Zhan Shihong also took out several house deeds, which included five rooms in a row, close to the East Market, which was indeed a good location.

"Cement is extremely scarce right now, so we haven't been able to build any shops yet, so they're still mud houses."

"It's okay, we don't have any urgent needs at the moment, so this is fine."

Zhan Shihong exchanged a few pleasantries and then left. The general had already returned to the yamen to take charge, and the person running out was him. After more than two months, he was darker than charcoal, and his family could hardly recognize him.

Jiang Yue moved back all the things that were temporarily piled up at the He family's house. She didn't hold any housewarming party, but just gave a few steamed buns to the neighbors around her as a gift.

Jin Xiu helped them move their things, marveling at the sight. She lived next door and had seen with her own eyes how the cement house was built, step by step, and she still found it magical.

Unfortunately, the house they chose at that time was good, but it is not on the list of places where concrete houses can be built, so they have to wait until next time.

Once those dilapidated houses are finished, it will be their turn next, right?

Unfortunately, there are a lot of people queuing up in the city, so I guess I’ll have to wait until next year…

Jiang Yue's new house has a very simple layout. Only the osmanthus tree is left in the front yard, and the rest has been flattened. It can be used to dry things or for barbecue.

On a summer night, with a gentle breeze, eating barbecue, and drinking some wine, it is so beautiful.

Find some time to build a wooden shed and take out the rice pounding tools and millstones. The space is large and can be used for all the work.

The backyard is divided into three parts: mule shed, pigpen, and chicken coop.

The piglets have adapted well to their new home. They are temporarily separated by male and female and will be kept together for the first time when they are mated.

As for the forty or so chicks, they lived together in the large dormitory. When a handful of millet was scattered, the yellowish fluffy chicks chirped and rushed over to grab the food, looking very lively.

Jiang Yue had plenty of space in the two-story building in the middle. On the right side of the first floor was the kitchen, in the middle was the main room, and on the left was the bathroom.

They chose to live on the second floor.

The second floor only has three rooms: two bedrooms and a study. One room is equivalent to three in other homes, and everyone who comes to see it thinks it's a waste. With so much space, why not create a few more rooms? This way, they'll have enough space for more children.

Jiang Yue declined the offer: Thank you so much for considering my belly.

Unfortunately, she wasn't considering having children for now. She'd talk about the future later. She wanted to carve four words on her forehead: eugenics and good parenting.

There is a big kang in the main room on the first floor, and both the flue and the chimney are easy to open, but it is difficult to do so on the second floor, so only a bed can be used.

Fortunately, Jiang Nian has a high body temperature and is an excellent bed warmer.

The bedroom was large, so the bed also had to be large to match. Since there were no craftsmen who could make custom beds, Jiang Nian hammered and pounded the two old bed slats together himself.

From this angle, the Jiang family is the only one that has built a two-story building, so their view is not blocked.

Open the window and look out from a high place. From the mountain all the way to the city, there is a long line of people carrying building materials, just like ants moving house.

All usable items in the old house must be dismantled and recycled, even the tiles must be kept.

There's even a new pottery maker opening at the city gate, where you can trade for anything you can get, like grain, vegetables, firewood, etc., and business is booming.

There was hammering and banging from morning till night, and the atmosphere was very lively. Gray, hard houses were built one after another in the city, and the city became more and more popular.

Jiang Yue didn't know that her brilliant move had disrupted General Liang's plan.

He had originally thought that he would have a better chance of success if he waited until he was more mature, but now the construction of the concrete house was proceeding at a high speed and he could no longer hide it.

He hadn't reported back for a long time, and the court had already noticed his evil intentions. He simply revealed his ambitions and blocked the imperial envoys sent by the court from the city. He also captured several surrounding cities one after another.

General Liang's ambition was obvious. Before the imperial court could react, Qingshui City dealt them another heavy blow!

Qingshui City was completely captured by bandits!

The city gates were wide open and the government office was occupied.

All the people who could escape did so, and those who could not escape could only pay protection money to the bandits to show their submission.

The locals have been here for hundreds of years and cannot escape. They can only watch their property being exploited by bandits.

But the Wang family was different. They were outsiders and decisively gave up some of their property and fled to the Central Plains with their families.

The group first fled to a farm outside the city, took some food and took a detour.

There were eight people from the main family, accompanied by more than twenty servants and guards, totaling more than fifty people. The whole team looked very powerful.

On the way, they encountered many people who asked to accompany them, but the Wang family remained indifferent. After their previous escape, they had learned that they should not abuse sympathy, otherwise they would only end up with sticky candy that they could not get rid of.

What's more, they have too much luggage, and they look like fat sheep, and everyone wants to take a bite.

The journey to escape can truly be described as "cutting through thorns and brambles."

They kept their minds tense and traveled day and night, and even lost two mules before they finally arrived at Jiancheng.

The Wang family was well-informed and had already found out the current situation of Jiancheng.

There were still some people with bad intentions who blocked the road and robbed people on the road leading out of Qingshui City, but since entering this section of the road, no bandits have appeared.

The towering new city wall can also be seen in the distance.

Mr. Wang breathed a sigh of relief. He had heard of General Liang's reputation and his prestige among the people. He should be able to protect his family.

The city guards received news early in the morning that a group of people were rushing towards this side, which frightened them greatly. They quickly gathered people and deployed their troops.

But when people got closer, they could see clearly that it was a wealthy family who came with their families.

"Who is the boss? Come here and answer." The guard held a big knife and said sternly.

Mr. Wang knew what was more important, so he stepped forward and took out some papers.

"Sir, my surname is Wang. I am from Shuntian Prefecture. I was harassed and fled to Qingshui City. Now I have escaped during the chaos. I have a house in Jiancheng. My household registration and property deeds are here."

General Liang had just heard that someone was planning to attack the city, so he rushed out with his men. The guards, their faces flushed, pleaded guilty and accepted punishment.

He waved his hand and took a look at the luggage in the convoy of this wealthy family. It was indeed astonishing from a distance.

He took the household registration and three house deeds from Mr. Wang.

General Liang fell silent. There was no problem with the household registration, but this house deed...

Their food had already been distributed among the people...
