Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 884

[Chapter 884 Dilemma]

“Zhou Xiaoer, you are the only child in the family, do your best and respect your parents.” When Zhao Xu went out, he patted Zhou Xiaoer on the shoulder.

Zhou Xiaoer was completely dumbfounded.

He forgot to take his badge when he went to the weaving workshop today.

I didn’t expect to see this battle as soon as I came back.

He thought something happened at home and someone was looking for trouble for his mother.

He was about to desperately, but unexpectedly, it was King Yan who came to his house to check on the people’s sentiments.

“Hey.” Zhou Xiaoer replied blankly.

Zhao Xu smiled, walked out of the alley with the guards, and went to other folk houses.

“King Yan is really an easy-going person. Having him guarding Dasong is really a blessing for Dasong people.” Zhou looked towards the alley, recalling the time when he chatted with King Yan just now.

This is enough for him to brag to his neighbors for a lifetime.

Hearing this, Zhou Xiaoer rubbed his shoulder and smirked again.

Leave Zhou Xiaoer’s house.

Zhao Xu picked a random village and rode away with Xu Lie and others.

There is no doubt that the living conditions of the people living in Yancheng have improved.

Whether it is ancient or modern, resources are first enriched in cities.

This is a natural law, even Zhao Xu cannot avoid it.

But even so, he didn’t want to leave behind the villagers who accounted for the largest number of Da Song.

On Dasong’s road to prosperity and strength, there must be no one missing.

To solve this problem, ultimately rely on development and technological progress.

“Your Highness, this is Machang Village.” After traveling twenty miles to the west, Zhao Xu and Xu Lie arrived at a village.

There are only a hundred families in this village.

Since everyone in the village knew each other well, the appearance of a group of strangers naturally alarmed Li Zheng and Bao Zhang.

But Li Zheng and Bao Chang obviously knew Zhao Xu.

Startled, they immediately greeted him.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Zhao Xu stated that he came to investigate the people’s sentiments.

So let Li Zheng and Bao Chang follow him from house to house to get to know the villagers.

Lest they secretly go to greet other villagers and cover up some problems.

However, what he thought seemed a little redundant.

Both Li Zheng and Bao Chang seem to be frank.

“Whose family is this? It’s a good day, and it actually built a big red tile house.” Zhao Xu smiled, and he noticed it as soon as he entered the village.

Li Zhengsun Dongxu smiled all over his face, “This is Wang Qiao, the home of brothers Wang En. There are five siblings in their family. They used to be the poorest family in the village, but now they are the most dignified in the village.”

“Wang Qiao?” Zhao asked. Xu couldn’t help smiling.

He had heard Qin Shan mention this name, the two brothers were both desperate to fight.

Knowing this, he understood.

The salaries of the soldiers were already generous, and during this time, they received a lot of bonuses from the spoils of war.

It is also reasonable to be able to build a magnificent red-tiled brick house.

Moreover, he is also happy to see the prosperity of the soldiers’ family.

Otherwise, how can they be worthy of them rushing on the front line.

But now the gate of Wangqiao’s house was closed, so he went to the next one.

Li is explaining.

Wang Qiao’s parents went to visit their daughter who married into the city.

“Whose house is this? The red tile house is also very grand.” Less than ten meters away from Wang Qiao’s house is another newly built red tile house.

Like Wang Qiao’s house, there is a vegetable garden surrounded by a fence in front of the red-tiled house.

There is a row of red-tiled houses on the front of the yard, and two red-tiled wing rooms on the east and west sides. The yard is paved with concrete floor.

“Return to Your Highness, this is Fang Yulong’s house.” Li Zheng said, “The houses built by Wang Qiao’s house and his house are in line with the government’s plan, and the style is also built according to the map given by the government.”

Zhao Xu showed a satisfied smile .

This is his request to Liu Fu.

Whether it is the construction of the village or the construction of the city, there must be a plan.

Houses cannot be built arbitrarily, one here and one there.

This has no aesthetic feeling, and will affect other facilities entering the village in the future.

Therefore, he personally drew the planning map and ordered the government to implement it.

In his plan, a spacious main road should be reserved in the village.

The house is built along the road, horizontally and vertically, and there is at least ten meters between each other.

As for the house, there must be a vegetable garden surrounded by a fence in front, and pig houses, chicken coops, etc. will be built beside the vegetable garden.

Every household is responsible for the sanitation near their house.

In this way, the whole village is built in this way, and it looks neat and tidy, clean and beautiful.

However, with the current level of development of Da Song.

People can only build red tile houses.

But as Dasong gets richer and richer, in the future these red tile houses will be knocked down, and small villas will be built one by one.

“This Fang Yulong is also amazing. He is very courageous. This year he borrowed money from the bank and bought patents for dyes. After that, he became rich. He also bought a house in Yancheng. The house here is his parents and younger brother. My sister lives there.” Li Zheng said.

Zhao Xu walked in with everyone.

In the yard, an old man and a grandmother were chopping firewood.

Li Zheng immediately introduced Zhao Xu’s identity to the two.

The two were immediately surprised, and hurriedly gave up their seats to Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu took a closer look and found that Fang Yulong’s family was really rich.

There are a lot of things in the house, including porcelain, mahogany tables and chairs, etc.

There are still some calligraphy and paintings hanging in the house.

“Both Yuniu and Yushu have gone to study in Gongshu. Yulong said that he has passed the age of studying, so he can’t let his younger brother and younger sister miss him.” Knowing the purpose of Zhao Xu’s visit, Fang Yulong’s parents introduced their own situation with full faces pride.

Zhao Xu nodded frequently, this is a microcosm of the current development of Yanzhou.

Someone who was a soldier earned honor and money.

Some people get rich overnight by taking advantage of the shareholder wind of commerce.

The appearance of Gongshu made families with extra money send their children to study one after another.

Although during this period of time, Jiangnan was raging with war.

But the changes in Jiangbei are changing with each passing day.

After chatting with the two for a while, Zhao Xu went to other people’s houses.

At present, half of the 100 households in the village have built red tile houses, and half still live in thatched houses.

Some of these families were soldiers, some passed the official examination and became officials, and more of them farmed a field at home and went to work in workshops in the city.

As for the rest, there are many reasons.

But the most important thing is that Ze Yancheng can’t find a job, and he doesn’t know how to run a business, so he can only rely on Susukida at home.

Although, their life has also been greatly improved, and they don’t have to worry about food and clothing.

But compared to others, he was pulled down a lot.

And this is also the real situation that Zhao Xu wants to know when he goes to the countryside this time.

“If you want to solve this problem, you have to create more jobs.” Zhao Xu said that this problem will be solved through the natural development of industry.

But even contemporary times have only solved some of it, not all of it.

He believes that in order to prevent the countryside from falling into the cycle of history, farmers must be able to become rich just by farming.

To achieve this goal, we must destroy the small peasant economy and give birth to small and medium-sized farms with families as units.

Realize the transformation from farmers to farmers.

Now, the population of Dasong is only 80 million. It can be said that there are many people and a large land. This is completely fine.

The only problem is that manpower alone is not enough for so many fields, and mechanized production is required.

Therefore, he needs a machine powered by an internal combustion engine.

In this way, this blueprint is not far away.
