Spring plowing season.

Most of the grassroots work in Dayan revolves around this matter.

Food is the paramount necessity of the people.

Some eat.

Only stable.

After getting the land, the sense of belonging to the new dynasty skyrocketed. Looking at the well-organized farmland, the people knew that it could allow them to live with dignity.

Although still poor.

But at least there is hope.

a certain village.

"It's really time to catch up."

"To give agricultural tools and grain seeds on credit. In the past, I had to ask the landlord, and even required interest."

"Woo, this is not a dream."

"..."

Seeing the brand-new farm tools in their hands, many people wept with joy.

Farm tools are the treasures of the family in the village. Many people can't afford the iron ones, so they can only be made of wood, which is very shabby.

The new direction is righteous.

No farm tools, credit.

No seeds, on credit.

It will still be available after the autumn harvest, and the price is not expensive, it can even be said to be cheap, and there is no such thing as interest.

Moved to tears.

. . .

It is precisely because it is credit, not gift, that it does not arouse the jealousy of "unevenness". Not only the lack of farm tools, but every household in the village can get credit.

Of course, the most needy people will come first.

There are farm tools at home. Although they are old, they can only be used in the second batch.

Everyone understands this.

With such a large-scale supply of farm tools, Xinchao should have reached the limit of supply.

. . .

Sangou Town.

blacksmith shop.

clang~

clang~



The sound of striking iron bursts, and the blacksmiths in the blacksmith shop at this moment are happy and happy.

From the beginning of the new dynasty, a large number of orders came like snowflakes.

several months ago.

The town has booked an intimidating amount of farm equipment.

no way.

The blacksmith shop had to recruit people and expand its scale.

Three shifts, non-stop day and night, before the order can be delivered, followed by a larger order, at least until the middle of the year before it can be completed.

At that time, there may be more orders, which was disclosed by the guardian.

now.

It is a real experience of what a big deal is.

The money from the government is indeed the best to earn. When the supply contract is signed, 30% of the money has already been obtained.

It is said that it is used for blacksmiths to purchase raw materials and organize manpower.

There are only two requirements: on-time delivery and guaranteed quality.

After delivery, another 60% will be given.

As for the remaining 10%, it is said that it is a warranty deposit. As long as there are no serious and large-scale quality problems in the product in the next year, the government will pay him.

To this.

The boss is skeptical.

Maybe... this is the filial money of the adults?

Um!

When the time comes.

It is also possible to find any reason to say that there is a problem with the quality, and not to deduct it.

But this is not very important anymore, even if you can't get it back, the profit of 90% of the payment is still considerable.

. . .

At the same time as spring plowing, a large number of agricultural facilities are also under construction. After the farmland has been regulated, many villagers have participated in various projects.

Every village connects.

uphill road.

reservoir.

open up wasteland.



In particular, reservoirs are key projects.

Some of the mined rocks and other materials are prioritized for the construction of reservoirs, because in a few months, a large area of ​​the south will enter the rainy season, and it will be able to store water.

In a certain village, a long road was dug out in the middle of a depression.

"well!"

"Such a good field will be flooded."

"What a pity!"

"..."

Looking at those original farmlands, many people sighed.

The higher-ups said that a river course should be planned here for flood control and water storage, and everyone shouted that it was a pity, but the village clerk's explanation was also very clear.

"In the past, everyone relied on the sky for food."

"Many tributary rivers have been occupied and turned into farmland."

"As a result, the main stream bears excessive pressure during the rainy season, seriously affecting the safety of villages and towns along the river basin. Therefore, the new dynasty will change this situation."

"Introduced a policy of great significance---returning farmland to rivers!"

"The river channels that existed before have all been restored."

"Increase the total water storage capacity of the water network."

"In this way, when the big river swells, it can flow into these tributaries, which greatly avoids flooding along the river basin."

After listening.

The common people also felt that it was reasonable. The ancestors took land from the river without any branch veins. Once there was a heavy rainfall, the river water would stay in the main vein, so of course it would not be able to support it.

This principle is not understood by everyone.

first.

Living is not easy, one more piece of arable land can bring more people.

Second.

No one took the lead.

Many local officials of the former dynasty even wished for disaster.

In this way, funds can be allocated to the imperial court, and everyone can get a fortune from it.

Therefore, the previous dynasty had no interest in returning the farmland to the river.

third.

There are also practical factors. How to resettle the villagers along the way when the farmland is returned to the river?

But Xinchao is different.

All land is theoretically owned by the state, and so much land has been confiscated before. The most important thing is that a large number of projects have absorbed labor.

The overpopulation of rural areas, there is a short-lived balance, or even lack.

After all, it is easier to go out to work and get paid every month than to wait half a year in the field.

In the past, I went out and didn't have much work to do.

Now it is time to go out and do endless work.

If you have the strength, you will not be hungry. The Ministry of Industry and Construction has almost unlimited recruitment. A large number of firms under the Nanqing Commercial Institute are also frantically recruiting labor.

Not only male workers.

Female workers are also recruited.

This moved a lot of people.

It is really difficult for women to work outside in this era, and the salary given by the new dynasty is not low, and one person is almost equal to about 60% of a strong laborer.

There is no requirement for physical strength, and the age is over fourteen.

Many people would like to send their ten-year-old baby, but they can't. When the population was registered, they were quite honest, and they found it out as soon as they checked.

It cannot be faked at all.

. . .

It was the third day of spring plowing.

"Group Leader Zhao." Seeing Zhao Qi coming to the door, an old man hurried forward.

"Let you Sanya go to the village the day after tomorrow."

"ah?"

"Didn't you say that the law education ended yesterday? The new dynasty wants to eliminate illiteracy, starting with the children. There is a child in your family who meets the age requirements and must go."

"Yes! Yes!" The old man hesitated, but agreed.

The current hopes are all given by the new dynasty, and the clerk represents the new dynasty.

Most people dare not have opinions about the new dynasty and new policies, they just want to learn a few words.

"..."

Zhao Qi started a new work mobilization from door to door. According to the instructions of the town guard, all school-age children must learn to read and write, and the location is in the village where the workers are stationed.

It is considered as pre-enrollment education.

First in the village, taught by the clerk.

At least you can write your name before going to the academy to report.

The college in town is under construction and is... HUGE!

truth.

Zhao Qi couldn't imagine how big a school could be. During this period of time, a large number of people were busy planning the new town, and the first thing to be built was the academy.

Seeing the effect picture, the whole person stood there for a long time.

big!

Complete!

Not just schools.

dormitory.

canteen.

library.

playground.



Inside and outside, there is an atmosphere. A college can accommodate at least thousands of people, and if it is crowded, it can even be more.

What is Xinchao going to do?

It was clear: universal education.

shock!

Zhao Qi was trembling at that time, it was excitement.

In the past, education was only the patent of the rich and powerful. How difficult is it for ordinary people to study? My parents also tried their best to allow him to study.

The new dynasty is doing an unprecedented feat.

Rich or poor.

You can read if you want.

This was a dream he once had, and now the new dynasty has realized it. Thinking of this, Zhao Qi is full of energy, although he doesn't understand what it means to only popularize basic education.

But even if everyone can read and write, it is already an incomparable merit.
