Travel through space and help the prince’s husband in construction

Xiao Yunyan first arranged for retired veterans who were unwilling to go home. There are so many villages, so many workers are needed. More than 3,000 people retreated and were assigned to twenty-four large villages, but there were not enough people.

Some veterans said that they wanted to go back and bring their wives, who had been waiting for them at home for many years, to the border town and take root here together.

Xiao Yunyan arranged the travel expenses back. If you come back, the return travel expenses will also be reimbursed.

Those soldiers whose parents were dead and whose wives and children were struggling to make ends meet hoped that their families could live long-term in Dr. Xiao's village in the border town.

In the near future, the borders will be opened and trade will begin between several countries. Children will also have many options for survival in the future, and they have more hope than living on a few acres of thin farmland in a remote country.

With this consensus, most veterans lived in Zhuangzi for a while and felt very happy and comfortable. They all asked Zhuangtou to go back and pick up their families.

Xiao Yunyan gives each village head a certain amount of authority. Those who want to go home will have to pay for it regardless of whether they want to pick someone up or not. When a few people come back, their travel expenses will be reimbursed.

Xiao Yunyan's generosity made these veterans feel a sense of belonging, and one after another they came back with their families.

Living and sleeping all the way, it was very embarrassing.

Xiao Yunyan had already arranged for the head of the village to build small courtyards in the village. There should be many rooms in each courtyard, but they don’t have to be too big. There is no need to leave too much space in the yard for a vegetable plot. There is everything on the farm, so each household does not have to plant it individually.

When the family was arranged into a separate, brand-new small yard, looking at the neat and clean new home, the pain they suffered along the way became very worthwhile.

When every family first arrives in Zhuangzi, they will receive from the head of the village ten jins each of white rice, white flour, and miscellaneous grains, some vegetables, two jins of fat meat, two jins of lean meat, two jins of eggs, and a big fish. Anjia food as a reward from the master.

Each person has a room, and all basic necessities are provided. You can make a fire to cook and start a new life.

The veterans did not expect that Doctor Xiao would prepare a yard for them in advance. Along the way, they were still worrying about where to live in the future. They thought that if they couldn't live in the farm when they arrived, they would build a simple shack together. Then we'll discuss with the master whether we can build a three-room house made of mud bricks, so that the whole family can have a shelter from the wind and rain.

Unexpectedly, really unexpectedly, the master not only built the house in advance, but also a courtyard with twelve rooms. The entire courtyard is made of blue bricks and black tiles.

While eating, everyone kept exclaiming: "In our hometown, only the landlords can afford such a magnificent courtyard."

"Mom, please pinch me. Is this a dream? Can I live in such a nice house?"

"The cost of building this courtyard is at least one hundred and eighty taels. If it weren't for the master's blessing, we would never be able to build such a magnificent courtyard in our lifetime!"

"Dad, Mom, my brothers and I no longer have to squeeze into one bed and fight for one quilt."

"Yes, Mom and Dad, my kang is so big that you can sleep on it freely, and the quilt is so soft. I no longer have to worry about being kicked out of bed by my brother or being woken up by the cold in the middle of the night."

……

The veterans and their families who came one after another were full of praise for the new yard, full of gratitude to the master, and full of hope for the new life in the future.

What they didn't expect was that on the next day, each person would be reimbursed 10 taels of travel expenses. Adults and children alike. Each man also had material for two new sets of clothes, both of fine cotton. My wife and daughter know how to sew and cut my own clothes. The remaining material is enough to make two pairs of shoes and socks for each person.

This is another thing that makes all veterans’ families cheer. Since I followed my master, all my worries have disappeared. As long as you work hard every day, your days will become more prosperous.

Xiao Yunyan gave them such good treatment to let them live in peace of mind and regard this place as their long-term home in the future. Although she invested a lot, what she got was her subordinates who wholeheartedly supported her. In the long run it seems to be a very wise choice.

With the participation of these veterans and their families, the harvest season in these villages is coming, and there are enough harvesters, so the harvest will not be delayed.

Although the owners changed hands, the seeds in early spring were planted according to the season. The field management before the flowers are planted is also very meticulous. Therefore, it does not affect the growth of grain. Where there is ample water on the sunny side, sickles are already blooming.

Xiao Yunyan told these veterans that those with broken legs and arms should not go to the fields to cut rice. They put on Xiao Yunyan's prosthetic legs and did some work of drying and threshing rice and wheat.

These veterans are all farmers. They are familiar with farm work and do it very professionally. Because of his many years of military career, he has developed excellent qualities of hard work, strict discipline, and strong self-discipline.

Such people do things neatly and very efficiently.

The families of veterans are also very hardworking. In my hometown, there are no men who are the head of the family as the main labor force. All the hard work is done by women and children together, so they are also good at work.

Gradually, the original village leader was replaced by a leader among the veterans who had strong organizational skills and was able to convince the crowd. Xiao Yunyan is happy to see the success. She had a lot of money and there was so much vacant land and no one wanted it, so she bought it.

When the border town becomes more and more prosperous, she will divide the land into smaller pieces and sell some. Let farmers have land to farm.

Those twenty-four Zhuangzi are all veterans working, and the efficiency is too fast. While other Zhuangzi's crops were still half harvested, theirs had already finished harvesting.

Xiao Yunyan asked the head of Xinzhuang to distribute food, meat, eggs, and vegetables per person every month. During the slack period, farmland infrastructure construction is carried out.

For example, irrigation canals need to be dug deeply, and the bottom of the canal must be constructed to prevent leakage. Local materials must be used and leakage-proof tiles must be fired. These tiles were used to pave the bottom of the ditch and to reinforce the ditch's side dams.

Originally, such construction required the use of cement, but there was no cement there. Xiao Yunyan was thinking that it would be okay to use local clay mud to bond the joints, but it would not be that strong.

If this problem is not solved, ditches will have to be repaired every year, which is a waste of manpower and material resources. That is not what Xiao Yunyan wants to see. So, she is thinking of a way!
