Chapter 902 Dilemma

"Zhou Xiaoer, you are the only son in the family. Work hard and respect your parents. Read М" Zhao Xu patted Zhou Xiaoer on the shoulder when he went out.

Zhou Xiaoer was completely stunned.

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

He didn't expect to see this scene when he came back.

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

He was about to fight, but he didn't expect that it was the King of Yan who came to his house to investigate the people's sentiments.

"Ah." Zhou Xiaoer replied blankly.

Zhao Xu smiled, left the alley with the guards, and went to other folk quarters.

"The King of Yan is really an easy-going person. It is a blessing for the people of Dasong to have him guarding Dasong." Zhou looked at the alley entrance, still recalling the time she had just chatted with the King of Yan.

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

Hearing this, Zhou Xiaoer touched his shoulder and smiled again.

Leave Zhou Xiaoer's house.

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

For the people who have lived in Yancheng for a long time, the improvement of living conditions is beyond doubt.

Whether in ancient times or modern times, resources are first concentrated in cities.

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

But even so, he did not want to abandon the villagers who accounted for the largest number of people in Dasong.

No one can be left behind on the road to prosperity and strength in Dasong.

And to solve this problem, it ultimately depends 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 one hundred households in this village.

Since everyone in the village is familiar with each other, the appearance of a group of strangers naturally alarmed the head of the village and the head of the security guard.

However, the head of the village and the head of the security guard obviously knew Zhao Xu.

Startled, they immediately came to greet him.

After a while of greetings, Zhao Xu said that he came to investigate the people's conditions.

So he asked the head of the village and the head of the security guard to follow him to understand the villagers.

So that they don't have to secretly greet other villagers and cover up some problems.

However, his thoughts seemed a bit redundant.

Both the head of the village and the head of the village seemed to be open and honest.

"Whose family is this? They are doing well and have built a big red tile house." Zhao Xu smiled. He noticed it as soon as he entered the village.

The head of the village, Sun Dongxu, was full of smiles. "This is the home of Wang Qiao and Wang En brothers. There are five siblings in their family. They used to be the poorest family in the village, but now they are the most impressive in the village."

"Wang Qiao?" Zhao Xu couldn't help but smile.

He had heard Qin Shan mention this name. These two brothers were guys who didn't care about their lives in the war.

After learning this, he understood.

The military pay for soldiers is already generous, and during this period, they have received a lot of spoils of war dividends.

It is reasonable to be able to build a luxurious red tile brick house.

Moreover, he is also happy to see that the lives of the soldiers' families are thriving.

Otherwise, how can they be worthy of them who are fighting on the front line.

But now the door of Wang Qiao's house was closed, so he went to the next one.

The head of the village explained beside him.

Wang Qiao's parents went to visit their daughter who married in the city.

"Whose house is this? The red tile house is also very impressive." 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 tile house.

There is a row of red tile houses in the front of the yard, and two red tile side rooms on the east and west sides. The yard is paved with cement.

"Your Highness, this is Fang Yulong's house." The head of the village said, "The houses built by Wang Qiao and his family are in line with the planning of the government office, and the style is also based on the drawings given by the government office."

Zhao Xu smiled with satisfaction.

This is his request to Liu Fu.

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

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

This will not only lack aesthetics, but will also affect the entry of other facilities into the village in the future.

Therefore, he personally drew a plan and ordered the government to implement it.

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

The houses should be built along the road, horizontally and vertically, and at least ten meters should be left between the houses.

As for the house, a vegetable garden surrounded by a fence must be left in front, and pig houses and chicken houses should be built next to the vegetable garden.

Each family should be responsible for the sanitation near their own house.

In this way, the whole village will be built in this way, and it will appear neat, clean and beautiful.

However, with the current development level of Dasong.

The people can only build red-tiled houses.

But as Dasong becomes more and more wealthy, these red-tiled houses will be knocked down in the future, and small villas can be built one by one.

"This Fang Yulong is also extraordinary and very courageous. This year he borrowed money from the bank to buy a dye patent, and then he became rich. He also bought a house in Yancheng. The house here is where his parents, younger brother and younger sister live." The head of the village said.

Zhao Xu walked in with everyone.

An old man and an old woman were chopping wood in the yard.

The village head immediately introduced Zhao Xu's identity to the two.

The two were immediately surprised and hurriedly gave Zhao Xu a seat.

Zhao Xu looked around and found that Fang Yulong's family was indeed very wealthy.

There were many things in the house, including porcelain, mahogany tables and chairs.

There were also some calligraphy and paintings hanging in the house.

"Yuniu and Yushu both went to Gongshu to study. Yulong said that he was over the age of studying and couldn't let his younger brother and sister miss it." Knowing the purpose of Zhao Xu's visit, Fang Yulong's parents introduced their family's situation with pride.

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

Some people won honor and money by serving in the army.

Some people became rich overnight by taking advantage of the favorable wind of commerce.

The appearance of Gong Shu made families with extra money send their children to school.

Although there were wars in the south of the Yangtze River during this period.

But the changes in the north of the Yangtze River were changing with each passing day.

After chatting with the two for a while, Zhao Xu went to other families.

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

Among these people, some served in the army, some passed the official examination and became officials, and more of them grew a field at home and went to the workshops in the city to work.

As for the rest, there are many reasons.

But the most important thing is that they can't find a job in Yancheng, and they don't know how to run a business, so they can only rely on the thin fields at home.

Although their lives have been greatly improved, they don't have to worry about food and clothing.

But compared with other people, they have been left behind a lot.

And this is the real situation that Zhao Xu wants to understand 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.

However, even in modern times, only part of the problem has been solved, not all of it.

He believes that if you want the countryside to stop falling into the cycle of history, you have to let farmers become rich just by farming.

And to achieve this goal, you have to destroy the small peasant economy and give birth to small and medium-sized farms based on families.

Realize the transformation from farmers to agricultural merchants.

Now, Dasong has a population of only 80 million, which can be said to be a large population and a vast land, which is completely fine.

The only problem is that so many fields cannot be managed by manpower alone, and mechanized production is required.

Therefore, he needs machinery powered by internal combustion engines.

In this way, this blueprint is not far away.
