A Timely Wife

In addition to taking over the affairs of Yueweitang, Li Qi also took over the affairs of the caravan. Li Liang can finally devote all his energy to internal management. There are more and more people in the station, and the total number of men, women and children has exceeded 7000. Just eating this item every day can make him scratch his hair anxiously, but in half a year, Li Liang feels that there are several more wrinkles.

It's just that the busier he was, the happier Li Liang was. Seeing this place grow from nothing to now thriving, the sense of accomplishment in Li Liang's heart was indescribable. He only hated that there were only twelve hours in a day. If there were twenty The time is better, so that I won't be so busy every day that I don't have time to sleep.

Even though he felt that he was a son of man, he had to keep his old father busy, but when he handed over the affairs of Yueweitang and the caravan to Li Qi, Li Liang really gave a big sigh of relief, and he focused on internal construction. , Either lead people to build roads, or lead people to reclaim wasteland, and strive to be self-sufficient.

The road in their residence built a very complete sewer system under Chengdong's suggestion, and a cesspool was also built on the side of the residence, dug very deep, and installed some organs that can isolate the smell, which is similar to modern toilets. It’s no different, the feces from places like the pigsty, chicken pens, cow pens, and horse pens all flow into the cesspools. When Cheng Dong asked so, everyone didn’t understand, but they all followed Cheng Dong’s request. In fact, it will be easier for them in this way, because in the past they needed to be transported away one by one, but now they only need to wash them with water.

Li Qi originally thought that after leaving Liujiagou, there would be no tap water anymore, but he didn't expect that the tap water system had already been built in the resident, and the residence was a little more troublesome. The whole row, there are twenty faucets in a row.

Thanks to the Shuiliu River near the garrison, the water flow is very large, and it flows down from the highlands. Chengdong directly set the source here, and erected a water pipeline to the military area and the residential area. For this reason, Li Ruosong also sent People walked down the river until they reached the junction of the river and the Qiping River, and found that there were no villages along the way, so they were relieved to build cement water diversion pipes.

The pipes are erected in the air, with concrete pillars made of reinforced concrete underneath, and tubular cement pipes above, directly connecting to the military area, and another branch from the military area to the residential area. I dug a lot of water storage pools and replaced the water sources regularly.

After the sewer system was built, Chengdong arranged for people to lay cement on the ground connecting the military area and the residential area, and a cement road enough for eight carriages to pass side by side was quickly repaired. In addition, as long as it is not necessary to use mud In some places, Chengdong has people laying cement roads. Once these roads are paved, the people in the resident will feel the convenience. Although it is troublesome to lay, it is very convenient after paving. , the ground is extremely muddy, and I don't know where to put my feet on the ground. Now no matter how much rain it is, I can walk without any problem.

In addition to paving the road, another important job is to open up wasteland. After Feng Bao brought the surviving caravan back from Ninghai Mansion, the surviving people brought several kinds of crops to Chengdong. When Chengdong saw these things, his eyes widened. Bright.

There are many people in the resident, so there is naturally a lot of food. It is often necessary for Feng Bao to lead people to run around to buy enough food for them. What Li Ruosong is most worried about is that if Feng Bao comes back a few days late one day, it is estimated that these thousands of people They could only live on hunger, but these few crops greatly eased Li Ruosong's worries. Potatoes, corn, and something called Yueliang were promoted to the farmland around the station under Chengdong's insistence. .

Before Li Qi and others arrived, these crops had already been harvested once. On the night of the harvest, Li Ruosong happily hugged Chengdong for most of the night. As long as he had these few crops, he didn't have to worry too much about food.

When the people in the resident knew that these crop species would harvest more than a dozen next, they picked up the farm tools and went to open up wasteland without saying a word. Now, except for the reserved forest planting area, the areas that can be converted into crop planting areas have almost been developed. , the rice has already been planted, but the millet has not yet found a suitable one. Liujiagou arranged for someone to specialize in the research and cultivation of hybrid rice. After more than two years of research, it can be regarded as some small achievements, but it has not been able to reach Chengdong. According to the request, these veterans usually only farmed the fields, and the experimental field was regarded as their treasure. Even if Li Ruosong wanted to go and have a look, he would be called bloody.

The people in the station were not used to it at first, but now they have fully adapted to it. Every morning at seven o’clock in the residential area and the military area, there will be a sound of bugles. This is called the wake-up call. After the wake-up call, everyone must get up. Get up, and pickets will forcibly drag people out of bed.

The picket team is made up of retired soldiers, who are either too old, or disabled and cannot continue to kill the enemy at the front line, or want to join the army, but those who are not in good physical fitness are all on the picket team inside.The picket team is a very magical team. The tasks and responsibilities assigned to them by Chengdong are very complicated. In addition to maintaining the daily order, the picket team has the right to knock on the door and ask the people inside to come out to clean up the garbage. If the notice is not cleared up three times, the picket team will break into the door and send the person directly to the prison. According to Cheng Dong, the picket team is responsible for correcting bad habits, correcting bad customs, and correcting bad habits. Those who abide by the regulations of the garrison don't need Chengdong to worry about it. Li Ruosong will directly send someone to throw them out. Now that everyone is a military household, expulsion from the military can be said to be the highest level of punishment for the people in the garrison.

No one dares to disdain this, they live here, some eat, some wear, some live, don't worry about when the pirates will come over, don't worry that their family members will be robbed and killed, although they are busy every day, they are busy. There must be hope, as long as they work harder, they will not only get more food, clothing and hair, but also get more salary than others.

The salary of the military area is distributed according to the level. Soldiers, officers and generals receive different amounts of salary. The higher the level, the more they get. The salary of the work area is distributed according to the amount of labor. The more you work, the more you do. , The better you get, the more you get. Of course, there will also be a minimum salary. As long as you work, you can get a salary. According to the division of responsibilities in the work area, the minimum salary in the work area is also different. The same thing is that all The salaries are all issued on the fifth day of the next month. On the day of the payment, except for the company on guard, everyone else gathered in the big square.

The large square is located between the military area and the work area. It occupies a very large area. The general area and the work area are divided. There are quite a lot of people who come here for a walk. The east and the west have a short chat. The biggest effect is to use it when paying the salary. Gather everyone, more than 7000 people stand here without any sense of crowding.

The platform was built after the sound of the echo wall, and the sound can be diffused to a large extent without speakers. The payment of salaries usually takes a whole day, and the salaries are distributed one by one. How much is deducted and why is it deducted? He said it clearly, and those who have objections can raise them on the spot. Basically, there will be no objections, because the calculations are very accurate, and there is nothing to question. , They are all very outstanding. People who have made meritorious service, including soldiers, officers, quilt makers, and iron-smithing military households, are distributed food, meat, cloth, and copper coins. The greater the credit, the more the rewards.

This method was also proposed by Cheng Dong. It breaks the previous situation where I have the final say on how much to send and how little to send. You have no control over whether to send or not. The amount of salary you can get for all jobs has been publicized. If you want to change jobs , as long as the requirements are met, you can apply for adjustments.

If you have children at home, you can go to Yueweitang to study. You don’t need to be called Shuxiu. Those who have not yet married will not be single all the time. There will be a blind date in the resident every month. There will be a person in charge of this matter to arrange the venue. If it can be successful , The resident will also distribute red envelopes and allocate rooms for two people.

In the resident, there is no requirement that widows should not remarry, and even encourage those who have lost their husbands and those who have not married for various reasons to find a suitable one to live with. The biggest difference between the resident and the outside is also reflected in this, regardless of you. Whether it is two men, two women or two twins, as long as you both register.

At the beginning, the implementation of this decree was very difficult, because when this decree was issued, many elderly people went to the front of the meeting hall to kneel and petition, demanding the abolition of this decree, saying that where the road is, you must seek yin and yang. Reconciliation, how people of the same sex can live as husband and wife or between husband and wife.

At that time, Chengdong wanted to come forward, but was stopped by Li Ruosong. Li Ruosong pushed Chengdong back into the room, and walked out by himself. Facing these old men and women who kept saying that they could not violate human relations, Li Ruosong's attitude was very clear. He supported the decree, and asked a few questions, saying that if he could answer the decree, the decree would be repealed.

Li Ruosong's question is very simple. The first question is, do you regard your wife or husband as a tool for carrying on the family line, or as someone who will accompany you throughout your life.The second question is, since the founding of the Great Chu State, has no family ever had a need for adoption due to the severance of offspring, and if so, whether such a person should not exist.The third question was more serious, Li Ruosong asked them directly, you can still control your children while you are alive, but if you are dead, how will you control them?Can't dream?

With some sophistical questions, these old men and women were left speechless. Li Ruosong smiled faintly and told them that life is not satisfactory, most likely it is just looking for troubles and wanting to live longer , it is necessary to meddle in some nosy business.
