"Well, in the eyes of others, we can buy thousands of acres of land at once, which is definitely like fat cattle. But they won't touch us for the time being. After all, buying so much land, if they come to seize it after washing it out, that would maximize their profits."
In other words, they are safe for the time being, but it is hard to say what will happen in the future.
"Don't worry about it. I believe there will be a solution when the time comes. If it really doesn't work..."
There was a murderous look in the old lady's eyes; she didn't want her granddaughter's hands to be stained with blood.
But if the happiness they had worked so hard to obtain was to be cruelly destroyed by someone, she really wouldn't mind letting her granddaughter be a heroine.
Who told her granddaughter to have a group of poisonous insects to command? With the big treasure Yingying, her granddaughter's enemies have to think about it.
At this time, the old lady never thought that she had adopted a cheap grandson, who was her alternative grandson-in-law.
There is no place for people to live in Linji Village. There are only a few thatched houses that have been blown down and are in ruins by the wind.
After hearing that there was saline-alkali land here, the few families who lived there also moved away.
Now that hundreds of people have moved here, the first thing they need to do is build houses.
Xiushui's eyes sparkled as she looked at the land. In her previous life, all the houses her family built after they became wealthy were designed by her.
At that time, she had a great dream, which was to build the best holiday tourist village.
If she were to build a house on such an undeveloped piece of land, could it be done as she envisioned?
Build a village of your own, so that everyone in the village can have a comfortable place to stay in the future. Maybe if it is built well, it is not impossible to turn it into a holiday resort.
"Village Chief, we still have some money left. Can we use it to build houses for all the villagers? If it's not enough, I can cover the cost and ask you to pay me back later."
The village chief was stunned. "It's not impossible to build houses together, but the money we have is definitely not enough.
But the rest is all made by your family, so...we owe you more and more? What if we can't pay you back?"
The old village chief didn't ask her how she got so much money. This girl is very capable.
He walked a few more times along the way. He didn't believe that there was nothing going on.
But he was not jealous. The whole village could get here thanks to the Wen family.
"Uncle, I unexpectedly got some money, and I'm happy to be able to help the villagers solve their problems. Of course, you don't have to worry about not being able to pay it back.
Didn't we say that the next step is to build a medicine village? Those sandy lands are too tiring to grow crops on now, so we might as well convert them into medicine fields.
Next, we have to farm and build houses at the same time. However, I don't want to build houses randomly, but build them in a unified way.
Although we are a village, we still need to plan our development. We need not only an elderly health area, but also a children's play area.
More importantly, there must be a system of schools, labor, leisure, entertainment, etc...."
The old village chief looked confused after hearing this. He understood all the words, but he really didn't understand how they were put together.
Xiushui also knew that other ancient people would not understand if he gestured like this, so he waved his hand.
"How about this? I'll go down and write the plans and draw them up. You guys, start organizing people to set up a temporary camp.
It will take a while before the house is finished, and the weather seems to be getting back to normal, with rain coming in from time to time. So we still have to build some temporary thatched houses."
The old village chief kept nodding.
At that moment, several leaders were called over, and the guards stopped patrolling for the time being. Everyone in the village was asked to be more vigilant when working, and if anyone was found behaving inappropriately, they must notify everyone immediately.
There were also old people, children and women, who were assigned to cut grass, set up tents and cook.
The strong laborers went to cut wood, break stones, and clear each family's homestead.
The girls who were sad and worried about their bad reputation earlier are now busy.
That afternoon, Xiushui outlined the new type of village he wanted to plan.
Although it is a village, it is well planned.
Residential areas, livestock breeding areas, exercise areas, ancestral halls and sacrificial sites, school districts, and areas to be developed, all areas are clearly marked.
Even without further explanation, anyone who sees the diagram can see at a glance the future direction of the village.
The old village chief looked at it in surprise, but still asked what was on his mind.
“Well, usually we are used to raising livestock at home, and we just put them in a shed beside or behind the house.
It seems that your drawing has a special breeding area. The house won’t smell bad anymore, but it’s still inconvenient.
For example, when it rains, we still have to brave the rain to take care of the livestock."
"Uncle, instead of living with the stench year after year, it's better to develop a good habit and walk a few steps to the riverside farm every day.
The so-called inconvenience is actually just a daily habit. If you are used to going to the farm to take care of the animals every day, it will become a habit over time.
Another point is that I think our village may need to divide up the work and cooperate for a while. For example, we can select a few experienced people to run the farm.
When the harvest comes, work points are calculated for those who raise the crops.”
"Work points? What the heck is that?"
Xiushui and Li looked at each other, and this time it was Li who came forward.
As early as when these areas were being planned, Xiushui and the old lady called the Wen family over and told them about the future development of the village.
After an in-depth discussion, Xiushui finally proposed that Li be the one to speak out on these matters. From then on, she would oversee the work points.
"Uncle, it's like this. Of the people who fled our village during the famine, some are still alive, but some are now sparsely populated.
For example, many families in the Women's Village are made up of women, elderly people, and children. We can't just watch their lives get worse and worse."
The old village chief, however, didn't care. "Old Wu's family, hasn't it always been like this? To put it bluntly, families with more strong men naturally earn more."
Otherwise, why would everyone be so focused on giving birth to boys? Isn't it because if there are more boys, the family will be prosperous in the future and the family will live a good life?
Their village of women is mostly populated by women and children, and that's also their own fault. If it doesn't develop, it's really not everyone's fault."
"Well, that's true. But what I want to say is that from now on, our village will not be dominated by strong men like in the past.
In the future, perhaps the women, girls, and children in the village will be able to earn more money, while the strong men may only be able to do some rough work.
We've rigorously calculated that if we combine our efforts, everyone will earn about the same. So, rather than splitting up our efforts to support the family, it's better to collaborate temporarily and then split profits when profits are realized. Things will continue to develop.
We have limited manpower now, so we must make use of it and not disperse it and waste it..."
