Chapter 247: Village Relocation
Wang Dadi: "Will this cause trouble to His Majesty?"
Jiang Zheng: "Don't worry, village chief. The prince is the father of the Northern Territory. How could he find it troublesome?"
Wang Dadi felt that following the officials was definitely the right thing to do.
He said respectfully, "Then I'll trouble you, sir!"
Jiang Zheng returned and immediately wrote a letter to the prince.
Rong Ye was surprised and not surprised to see the news.
"Tell the princess the news in the letter and let her make the decision on this matter on my behalf."
Rong Yi: "Yes, Master."
Xie Shuangbai was quite surprised when he received the letter. Xiaoshi Village was actually willing to relocate.
Since Rongye asked him to be responsible, he would do it according to his method.
He allocated money to Jiang to collect land and to pay for the travel expenses of the people who moved to the village.
After Jiang Zheng received the news, he went to Wang's house again and told Wang Dadi about the prince's reply.
As soon as Jiang Zheng left, Wang Dadi notified everyone to go to the threshing ground.
The villagers were now anxiously waiting for news. When they heard the news, they quickly arrived at the threshing ground.
Wang Dadi felt a headache as he looked at the chaotic crowd below.
"Everyone, be quiet, be quiet and listen to me!"
Seeing the chaotic scene, the Niu brothers also helped maintain order.
After all, these few people were very powerful and after shouting a few times, everyone quieted down.
"Everyone, listen to me. The prince has recently ordered that villagers who are relocated and receive subsidies must be of good reputation and be honest and hardworking.
After arriving in Fencheng, the land will be measured according to the land owned by Xiaoshi Village, and more land will be distributed on this basis.
If you are an honest family that is unwilling to move, you will be given silver according to the market price and you can move out of Xiaoshi Village.
Let me say it again, what is said above can only be said by the honest and down-to-earth people in the village.
As soon as these words were spoken, the cunning and sly people were furious and immediately shouted, "What does this mean? How could the prince give such an order? You must have made it up!"
"That's right, isn't that going to drive people to death?"
But there are still many people in the village after all.
They also retorted: "You people with questionable character, please don't bring trouble to everyone else. Besides, after what happened with Hei San, we have to choose carefully. From now on, we will resolutely not allow people with bad character to come to the village!"
"That's right, we've been badly hurt. Don't let them come!"
"Who are you calling a bad person?"
"What? I'm talking about you!"
"I think you're asking for a fight!"
"You say you're not a bully, but you think you can go to Fencheng with us? Dream on!"
Wang Dadi saw that chaos was about to break out and shouted to maintain order. Suddenly, a group of soldiers arrived and surrounded the villagers.
An officer shouted, "No more noise!"
Jiang Zheng then slowly walked over, and after seeing that everyone was quiet, he walked to the big rock in the threshing ground and shouted:
"Village Chief Wang has just made it very clear."
He glanced at everyone:
"Those who used to bully others in the village, those who were sneaky and cunning, those who were drunk and causing trouble, and those who stole and cheated, are all not allowed to leave. Anyone who is dissatisfied can come to me!"
When Gou Dan's father heard this, he and several other second-rate families cried out, "Sir, we are innocent. You can't just listen to what they say. We are also kind people!"
An older woman cursed:
"You are wrongly accusing me, Gou family. Your son and Zhu Fu used to cause trouble for the children in the village. Xiao Douzi was often beaten by your son, and you are still wrongly accusing me!"
Someone couldn't help but say, "That's right, you guys are such troublemakers that you deserve to be treated just like Hei San!"
The aunt complained to Jiang Zheng, "Your Excellency should arrest them. We will never allow them to leave with us. Please understand this!"
Many villagers also shouted: "No, no!"
Jiang Zheng nodded and said:
"Alright, then let's have a vote in the village. If everyone agrees that those who are bad actors will be kept! Village Chief Wang will oversee this matter!"
The villagers were so happy that they told those scoundrels that they couldn't go with them.
"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir!"
After giving the order, Jiang Zheng left, leaving behind a team of soldiers to assist Wang Dadi with the registration.
The reason why he did this was because Xie Shuangbai told him in the letter that he should leave those overbearing, rude and cunning people in the village and let them stay in Xiaoshi Village to dig coal.
Jiang Zheng was of course happy to have more people working for free, and besides, he was best at reforming people like this.
While Xiaoshi Village was busy relocating, Xie Shuangbai was also thinking about how to accommodate everyone after moving to Fencheng.
He has been traveling around Fencheng for the past two days.
Fencheng does have a small population, and many villages have become deserted.
Rong Wu followed Xie Shuangbai with a notebook and took notes.
Xie Shuangbai: "Rong Wu, I think the land in Nangang Village is quite fertile. Why is no one going there?"
"Back to the master, after the Nangang Village was massacred, no one was left. The surrounding villages were also dwindling in population. People were reluctant to leave the villages they were familiar with."
Xie Shuangbai thought about it and understood it, especially since the ancient people had more rigid thoughts and were unwilling to leave their homeland.
This is engraved in our genes. Even in modern times, people still want to return to their roots.
Xie Shuangbai said, "Send a letter to Zhao Dunzi asking him to send a small team to rebuild the village, and have Lin He bring some cement."
Rong Wu worked quickly and sent a letter to the camp by carrier pigeon as soon as he returned.
Rong Yi received the letter and gave it to the prince, and Rong Ye asked him to do it.
After receiving the order, Zhao Dunzi immediately called ten people and asked them to go to Fencheng to find Xie Shuangbai.
Lin He was also exhausted because he used too much cement.
The previous savings had long been taken away by the main camp. I finally saved some recently, and the letter said that Fencheng also wanted it.
After arranging these, he will have to recruit more people to make cement, otherwise there will definitely be problems with supply in the later stage.
Old man Zhang and Ji Ran were also very busy. They were immersed in glass research experiments every day and had no idea what was happening outside.
Lin He was indeed incredibly efficient. The cement was delivered at noon the next day, and Zhao Dunzi and his people also arrived in the afternoon.
Xie Shuangbai knew several of the masters there. They were his earliest apprentices when he made the kang for him.
I didn't expect that he has become a master now. There is also a master who renovated the bathroom for him. They were all very happy to see Xie Shuangbai.
Xie Shuangbai stated the effect he wanted, and several people quickly understood what he meant.
Xie Shuangbai gave the blueprint to a few people and asked Rong Wu to take them to check the village first. The palace was recruiting as to how much manpower would be needed in the later stage.
Recently, people in the surrounding villages of Fencheng are curious. Suddenly, a lot of people came to Nangang Village and were demolishing things every day. I wonder what they are doing?
Everyone is speculating whether the prince wants to divide the land, as the border camp has been very lively recently.
Is this place going to become a village for military dependents?
There were many different opinions at the time, and everyone was watching curiously.
Some smart people have already taken the opportunity to buy houses.
There are several families in Xigang Village, not far from Nangang Village.
Someone bought a thatched hut.
Seeing this, the villagers also wanted to sell. Fortunately, the village chief felt that something was wrong and reported it to the government.
The government office then informed the palace, and Xie Shuangbai only then learned about this matter.
If anyone tells him that the ancients didn’t understand business in the future, he will be the first to disagree.
This guy has a good brain and has learned how to speculate in real estate in the 21st century without any training!
