Infrastructure masters in the red building

Jia Fang placed the bandits in Shengli New Village, and the most original motive was naturally to use these young and strong laborers.

But since he has used these labors, he has to be responsible for these people. Good hygiene habits, nutritious and delicious meals, and teaching cultural knowledge are all ways Jia Fang intends to be "responsible" for them.After all, these bandits went astray in the early years. Starting from now on, they may not have no hope of being transformed into people who adapt to society.

Judging from the preliminary construction of the two villages, these arrangements made by Jia Fang are quite successful.In the 20 days since the new village was built, the remodelers quickly cleared and reclaimed a lot of land, and their daily life was orderly. The most surprising thing was that [-] days later, when the number of people was counted, there were quite a few of them, and no one left.

But there was another group of people that caused Jia Fang a headache: the two thousand soldiers of the Pingnan Camp.

When the First Prince Feiqi arrived at the foot of Wuyuan City, he once commented on the officers and soldiers of the Pingnan Camp that "there are raging soldiers and a raging nest".The officers and soldiers of the Pingnan Camp are indeed a nest, and they are both arrogant and cowardly, but it does not mean that all of them are willing to obediently obey the arrangement and honestly farm here.

Some people came to serve as soldiers in order to have enough food and clothing, and some people wanted to earn some military merit and get promoted step by step.Putting them in the farmland of Wuyuan County is to lose this hope.

In addition, the management of officers and soldiers is also relatively difficult. They are both laborers and managers, and they hold the authority to discipline "reform subjects". If abused, it may cause conflicts between officers and soldiers and reform subjects at any time.

Jia Fang placed his hopes on them, hoping that they could wash away the rotten habits of the original Pingnan camp, and train them to become all-rounders who can fight in wartime and cultivate good fields in peacetime.In addition, he also wants these officers and soldiers to have a skill, not only to subsidize their own family, but also to find their own way out after retiring from the army in the future.

However, he was kind, but these officers and soldiers did not necessarily appreciate it.

Soon, in Shengli Village, the officers and soldiers arbitrarily punished and abused the reformed subjects in the village, which led to a collective resistance of the reformed subjects in the village and conflicts with the officers and soldiers.Jia Fang rushed to a village with Wu Shenxue, who had just been promoted, and the inspection team from Taoyuanzhai, only to calm down such a conflict.Then Jia Fang took a closer look and found that it was the officers and soldiers who took the lead in provoking, which led to the big mistake.

"What did you say about you at the beginning?" Jia Fang was really angry this time. He called all the officers and soldiers of a village together, and walked repeatedly in front of them with his hands behind his back. Isn't it enough to be ashamed in front of the people?"

"Outside of Wuyuan County, the common people and bandits all saw you as bears. Now, I have given you a chance to make up for your mistakes, but you dare to use your power arbitrarily. Who lent you your guts?"

Jia Fang seemed furious, but Wu Shenxue, who was listening to the training, heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that Jia Fang hadn't called himself "Lao Tzu" yet, so he shouldn't be so angry.

"Let me tell you, the transformation targets have transformation points, and you also have military points—do you want to take advantage of the opportunity of the army to eat and clothe yourself? Do you want to save a family business or capital? Want to live in your own house and start a family Do you want to advance steadily even when there is no war?"

The officers and soldiers in a village suddenly stirred up - who wouldn't want this?

"I'm just telling you that these are all in the plan I have arranged for you. But——you don't have enough army points, so never think about it!"

Jia Fang threatened them.

"If there is any more wanton bullying of the reformed subjects, all the officers and soldiers in your village will deduct military points together, and at the same time add these points to the reformed subjects."

"Don't look at these people who say that they have to serve hard labor for many years, but as long as they are willing to learn, work, and reform, and can save enough reform points, their future achievements may be higher than yours! "

"Hedong for 30 years, and Hexi for 30 years. Do you think what you see now will be what you will be like in the future?"

"Have you ever imagined that in the next 20 or [-] years, others will run forward at high speed, but you will stand still? Can you imagine that in the future, you may have to obey the transformation objects you are responsible for?"

In the scene depicted by Jia Fang, for the officers and soldiers, the reformed subjects in front of them all live better than them and climb higher than them-this is too scary.

The key point is that according to Jia Fang, the more they abuse and bully these reformed targets, the greater the chance that the other party will turn around in the future.

Don't let this happen.

For a moment, everyone straightened their chests, expressing that they would definitely obey Mr. Jia's order, carefully maintain the relationship with the reformed subjects, and not disappoint Mr. Jia's high expectations.

After teaching the officers and soldiers a lesson, Jia Fang calmed down and asked, "Compared with the previous Pingnan Camp, do you think the treatment is better than before?"

The officers and soldiers nodded unanimously and reflected: the food is indeed much better.

Jia Fang patted his forehead: I just know how to eat.

It seems that he has been wandering between foodie and foodie all his life!

The construction of Shengli New Village has also greatly stimulated the enthusiasm for production in Taoyuan Village.

Among other things, a village of 5000 people consumes a lot of rations every day.The Sancun Canteen undertakes the collective cooking of the two villages, and purchases grain, vegetables and meat from Wuyuan County and Taoyuanzhai every day.

In Taoyuan Village, the loss was not heavy in the past few days, and the villagers hung on the beams. The bacon and sausages were not lost. At this time, some of them were allowed to come out to Shengli New Village. Vegetables have a smell of meat and wax.

The pigs, sheep, chickens and ducks raised by each household are sold.There are no mosquitoes in winter, and the plump rice flower fish in the rice fields are also caught by the villagers at this time. They are smeared with salt, dried in the air for two days, and sent directly to Shengli New Village. Steamed is a delicacy.

During these days, the agricultural and sideline food industry in Taoyuan Village, which had been sluggish for many days, has regained its vitality, and every household has made a lot of money.

With the completion of the construction of Qingfang City, the "Jinhua" textile factory and the "Hongxiang" sugar workshop have also resumed work, and they have expanded their scale in unison——

The woman of "Jinhua" said: "We are already in the city (Qingfang City) now. We are protected by the city wall. We can build as many machines as we can. We can build them with strength."

As a result, the hydraulic spinning machines and looms that were mercilessly destroyed by bandits were remanufactured.

The women of Jinhua immediately realized that there was not enough manpower, and the Tian family's sugar workshop had a visible shortage of manpower due to the expansion of the purchase scale.The two hit it off and went to Wuyuan County to recruit workers together.

Now is the slack time for farming, the rice seeds bought by the people of Wuyuan County are not yet ready for planting, and the breeding pigs and chickens have not yet grown into running pigs and free-range chickens.The people of Wuyuan County couldn't do it no matter how hard they were.As soon as I heard about the recruitment, I became interested.

The recruitment standards of the two factories are not too high: the sugar factory has a lot of strength, no disease, and cleanliness; the textile factory only recruits women with weaving experience, and promises to arrange board and lodging.

When Jia Fang saw the momentum of these two companies recruiting workers, he couldn't help laughing, and said, "When they get used to working in your factory, I'm afraid they won't want to go back to Wuyuan Township."

He has a theoretical basis: When the industry gradually develops, the agricultural population will gradually move to the city.

And so it is.Work in textile mills and sugar factories, the boss provides board and lodging, wages advance.The daily working hours are capped at four hours. If the working hours exceed the cap, the employer will have to pay extra overtime pay.Although many times the workers are willing to work more and make more money, they must not exceed six hours.

The wages given by the two factories are extremely competitive not only in Taoyuanzhai and Wuyuan, but also in the entire Yong'an Prefecture.

Simple mobile homes were quickly built in Taoyuanzhai near the Qingfang River as dormitories for the staff of the textile factory and the sugar factory.From there to the factory in Qingfang City, it is only about two hundred steps.

Opposite the dormitory is the food street. Now the food street is backed by the protective wall and has been rebuilt.Not long after the factory workers arrived, they developed the habit of waking up early to get rice rolls and visiting the night market at the food street in the evening. The tastes are so delicious.

When the factory is on holiday before the New Year’s Eve and the workers are temporarily sent home, the workers beg their employers to keep their positions and come back after the New Year, even when it’s busy farming season. Even if the fields at home are planted by others... they still have to come.

According to Jia Fang's conclusion, this is the charm of "more money, less work, and closer to home (dormitory)".Now working in a factory is far less labor intensive than farming at home, but the labor remuneration is even higher.In this way, even if these workers lack manpower at home to farm, they can also be supplemented by hiring long-term and short-term workers.

This account is not complicated, everyone can figure it out.

In addition to the economic benefits, the urban life that Taoyuanzhai initially displayed also opened the eyes of these young workers. The bustling commercial facilities and various entertainment activities that spring up like mushrooms at night, young men and women can freely Avoiding encounters in every corner of the city... Although there are still troublesome night school literacy classes and diploma exams, but this city-they have to love.

But Jia Fang sneaked back to the Grand View Garden at this time, for no other reason, the Chinese New Year is coming soon.

He transported some local products from the south to Daoxiang Village through the ground whip, but he had to entrust Shuangwen to secretly transport the things out from the back gate of the Grand View Garden, and then find a driver to transport them back from the main gate of Rong Mansion.

Mrs. Shi was delighted to receive all kinds of local products sent by Jia Fang "from all the way". She would show off how filial her son who was raised by herself was to everyone.Arouse the attention of others: Can raising a child for the royal family have such benefits?

However, Jia Fang himself did not dare to show his face under the persuasion of Ning Rong's second son. He only met Jia She in private in the garden. Even the newly married second brother Jia Zheng was not convenient to meet.

As soon as Jia Amnesty saw Jia Fang, he chased Jia Fang and asked, "How is the green peak, big brother?"

Jia Fang hurriedly thanked Jia She: "I haven't even had time to thank my elder brother."

At the time when the situation was most tense, he handed over to Jia Shen the "winding path leading to seclusion" at the entrance of the Grand View Garden.Jia Amnesty actually used various flowers and trees to build a green peak within three days when materials were in short supply.

Later, Jia Fangyou returned to the Grand View Garden and studied the shape of the pile of stones on the scroll with Shuangwen. Zhao Cheng and Li Qingsong came forward to buy some more lake stones, and added a few piles of stones to Jia Amnesty's design. .That's how the green peak called "the place with winding paths leading to seclusion" was completed.

The completed emerald peaks are not very high, but the strange stones, flowers and trees form an interesting backdrop, which becomes a perfect barrier at the entrance of the Grand View Garden.

Who knew that after Jia Fang thanked him, Jia Amnesty smiled with his hands behind his back and said, "Is it true that you haven't had time to congratulate elder brother?"

Congratulations? ——Jia Fang only found out after asking that Mrs. Zhang was pregnant with a second child.Jia She was overjoyed, rubbed his hands together and said, "If it's also a boy, let's call it Jia Hu, your elder brother's 'Lianhu' pair is enough for this family."

In fact, Jia Amnesty had long since given up playing cards and gambling, and his subordinates were too busy with various businesses, so he would play dice for fun during the New Year's Eve.However, such a good fortune like "Baba Lianhu" has become an auspicious expression that Jia She uses on his lips every day, and he is reluctant to lose it.

Jia Fang hurriedly congratulated Jia Amnesty, saying that little Jia Hu would definitely give a generous gift when he was washed.He was in the south this time, and even missed Jia Lian's first birthday, so he could only listen to Jia She's description of the grand occasion when the eldest son and grandson of the Rongguo Mansion caught Zhou.Hearing that Jia Lian grabbed his grandfather's official seal as soon as he stretched out his hand, Jia Fang congratulated each other repeatedly: "In the future, if it is obvious, it will be successful."

But Jia Amnesty sighed: "Even if you are an official, it is difficult!"

Jia Fang knew what happened to Jia Daishan or Jia Daihua in the officialdom, and asked Jia Amnesty again, but the latter refused to say anything, only said that it was under the big festival, not this.

Saying goodbye to Jia Amnesty, Jia Fang finally had time to go back to his place to rest for a while.He wrote a letter, saying that he would spend more time in the Grand View Garden, and wanted to invite Shui Xian to meet him.But he drafted a letter, and the ink was not dry yet, so he suddenly hesitated, did not tell Shuangwen to take the letter, but put it aside.

He picked up the scroll again, silently said "thank you" in his heart, and then opened the scroll.

When he first got this scroll, it was blank, but now there are more watercolor pictures than blank spaces.The Daguan Garden in the picture axis has an extra solid courtyard wall, and an extra green peak at the gate of the garden, which is full of virtual reality and profound artistic conception.

Jia Fang's first intuitive impression was: there is not much space left in this picture, and when he finishes building the entire Grand View Garden, it may be time for him to go back.

And the reason why he didn't send the letter right away is also the same: if he is really going to leave this time and space soon...why bother to provoke others like this?

After seeing it for the second time, Jia Fang immediately forgot all the distracting thoughts in his mind: the largest blank space on the scroll has been filled in with ink painting, and the ink painting is a rich and beautiful courtyard.

I saw that the courtyard was a big house with a width of five rooms. Once you entered the courtyard, there were corridors on both sides.Outside the courtyard is a large green peach blossom forest.The courtyard wall is made of hedges and flower barriers. In the front yard there is a Xifu crabapple and several plantains, while in the back yard there are wall after wall of roses, treasures, and other common flowers and plants such as roses and honeysuckle vines. It is even more numerous.

Jia Xin groaned inwardly: I am really afraid of something.

What is painted on the scroll is obviously one of the most important buildings in the whole Grand View Garden: "Yihong Courtyard".

The painting technique of this scroll is wonderful, even if only light ink is used, it still makes people imagine the begonias with "the east wind curls up in the sogo" and the plantains with the "green wax spring roll".The atmosphere of the whole courtyard is extravagant and oppressive, but there is no place that is gaudy.

But why did the image of "Yihongyuan" become synonymous with folk customs in later generations?

Jia Fang pondered deeply, thinking that perhaps the interior decoration of this "Yihong Courtyard" is too fragrant and gorgeous, so the so-called "prosperous land with flowers and willows, a gentle and rich township" is particularly reminiscent?

He was contemplating when Shuangwen entered the room by chance and saw Jia Fang holding the scroll in his hand, he let out a "huh" and said, "Third Master, what's new?"

Jia Fang nodded: "Well, this scene is perfect for you."

The biggest garden decoration feature of Yihong Courtyard is the planting of various flowers in the courtyard.Jia Baoyu is known as the "King of Flowers in Jiangdong", so he naturally cherishes and protects flowers.After Shuangwen went through the construction of the Hongxiang Nursery, she has special experience in the cultivation of flowers.That's why Jia Fang intended to hand over this courtyard to Shuangwen Construction.

Shuangwen looked at the pattern on the scroll curiously, and asked, "What's the name of this place?"

Jia Fang replied casually: "Yi Hong is quick green!"

Unexpectedly, the scroll actually said something wrong, and two words appeared in the blank space: "No!"

Jia Fang: This is really a slap in the face.

Fortunately, Shuangwen would never laugh at him, but just waited for Jia Fang to think seriously.

Jia thought at ease: That's right!The reason why Yihong Courtyard got its name is because of the four characters "Yihong, Kuailv"—but these don't seem to be the first four characters drawn up by Baoyu. Where did the first four words drawn up by the second son of Bao come from?

"Red fragrance and green jade!" Jia Fang finally remembered.

The words "Of course!" appeared in the blank space of the scroll, and then the words disappeared completely.Jia Fang finally got the answer right.

Jia Fang handed over the scroll to Shuangwen, and explained to her the general design concept of Yihong Courtyard.Afterwards, Jia Fang went out, intending to have a look in the garden, and asked Shuangwen to come with him after putting away the scroll.

Shuangwen stayed in the house alone to pack the scrolls, but noticed that there was a letter on Jia Fang's desk, which had been written but not sealed.

Shuangwen read the letter and knew that the letter was usually sent to Baigongfang, so he didn't even think about confirming with Jia Fang again, and kept the letter in his sleeve, ready to find a time to send it there.
