Chapter 243: What's the good thing? Let's hear it?

At this time, Aoshan City seemed to have changed its appearance and was completely renewed. The gray city wall seemed to have been washed by clean water, revealing the dark stones that could not be seen before. It finally looked like a town. There was no dust flying in the sky, and you could basically see the blue sky and white clouds.

The people were all wearing brand new clothes and stood on both sides of the city gate to welcome the return of the guards. The blood on the ground had been washed away by a large amount of water, and even the blood on the walls had been wiped off. However, Shublu's golden waist knife was hung up and hung directly above the north gate. This was to show everyone how many Tartars had been wiped out in Aoshan City. This was a kind of glory, a kind of glory that Aoshan City had never had.

"Welcome to return triumphantly!"

Huang Qingping, Meng Qinghao, Shi Zhenshan and other elderly people stood outside the city to welcome Zhang Zhun.

As for other people who are welcome, there are naturally more.

"Thanks!"

"Thank you everyone!"

Zhang Zhun kept bowing and said happily.

When people are in good spirits when they are happy, Zhang Zhun's face is indeed smiling. He is actually not the kind of person who does not show his emotions. When he encounters happy things, he naturally has a smile on his face. Of course, in the eyes of some people, Zhang Zhun's smile is quite hypocritical.

"Uncle Shi, have you done a city cleaning?"

Zhang Zhun looked at the obviously clean street and asked curiously.

"Yes, I worked for two days."

Shi Zhenshan also gave a smile.

He introduced that the day before yesterday and yesterday, the Aoshan City Urban Management Department mobilized the people of the whole city to clean up Aoshan City. Everyone started to work together to clean up the floating soil on the roof, open up drainage channels, and clean the city walls. They also moved saplings from other places to green the open spaces in the city. In the past, due to the lack of water, there was almost no trace of green in Aoshan City. Now, the well has been drilled and there is enough water. Naturally, everyone should consider planting some plants and improving the environment.

While talking and laughing, the group entered the White House and sat down in the chamber.

The military household representatives who arrived later were all happy. At this festive time, they also knew that Zhang Zhun would not blame them for not understanding the rules, so they all seemed quite relaxed. Shi Zhenshan also prepared some snacks, dried fruits and so on to spread on the table.

Zhang Zhun picked up a piece of dried fruit, threw it into his mouth, chewed it a few times, nodded and said, "It tastes pretty good, what are you keeping at home?"

Meng Qinghao shook his head and said, "We don't even come to visit mice. How could there be dried fruits? They are all filial to the merchants outside. Aoshan City repelled the attack of the Tartars and wiped out so many Tartars, which opened their eyes. Now, many businesses are preparing to set up semicolons in Aoshan City."

Zhang Zhun nodded and said slowly: "This is a good thing. The nose of a merchant is always the most effective. They are the first to know where there are any benefits. They are willing to set up a semicolon in Aoshan City, which means that they are confident in the future of Aoshan City. We must strongly support the actions of merchants and provide as convenient as possible. However, you should pay attention to the gifts. People eat their mouths and their hands are short. On festive days, it is not a big deal to take some dried fruit snacks, but if you collect other people's money or other benefits, it will not work."

Meng Qinghao hurriedly said, "Sir, we all understand this measure and will never embarrass you. Anyone present can testify to us."

Zhang Zhun smiled and said, "I'm just to remind you of vaccinations. Everyone has their own fields, and the Urban Management Department will distribute money and grain as usual every month. As long as you work harder, your life will gradually get better. There is no market for me for the sidelines. If something happens, I am the black-faced god, and my relatives don't recognize it. Kill what should be killed, kill what should be cut, peel what should be peeled and cramped, and light the sky lantern that should be lighted."

Everyone expressed their teachings.

Seeing that the atmosphere became a little nervous, Zhang Zhun smiled and said, "Forget it, not to mention this, there will be a special supervision department to manage this matter in the future. Now, if there is any good thing, let me hear it first."

Shi Zhenshan then gave a simple report on behalf of the military households.

First, there were ten deep wells, and they were finally all shot out.

This was seen when Zhang Zhun entered the city just now.

With enough water, the first thing the people of Aoshan City did was to take a bath. In the past few days, men and women, young and old, all of Aoshan City took a comfortable bath, and everyone seemed to have changed. At the same time, clothes that had not been washed for many years were also moved out and washed one by one. Everyone joked that in the past few days, Aoshan City had really had two joys: joy and washing.

Due to a lot of water use, the dust in Fushan City has been reduced a lot. Even the floating soil on the streets has basically disappeared. As for the dust on the roof, it has been washed away by a large amount of clean water. The sewage has been cleaned up to drain the sewage faster. Nowadays, Aoshan City finally looks like a normal town.

After a thorough purge, the people of Aoshan City suddenly realized that the place where they lived for generations was still very good. They were willing to stay in Aoshan City only because of safety reasons. Now, just because of this city, they are willing to stay. Many people feel that their choice to stay in Aoshan City is nothing wrong. On the contrary, those military households who moved must regret it at this time.

Secondly, all the refugees have basically been settled.

Whether it was the refugees who escaped here before or the hostages who were later taken to the city, they settled down in the city. The Urban Management Department specially assigned them a concentrated area. They each had allocated five acres of land. The relevant production tools were also distributed to them. Now, all the refugees have sorted their fields and waited for the spring next year to sow seeds.

That's right, we have to wait until the beginning of spring next year. Due to the ravages of the Tartars, the crops sown around Aoshan City have basically been ruined, and there is no decent harvest. Therefore, the people of Aoshan City will not be able to obtain harvests from the fields in this autumn and winter, and in most of next year. However, Zhang Zhun provided them with another way to make a living, that is, workmanship.

Whether it is the construction of Fushan City or Aoshan City, it requires a large number of workers. The farms in Lingshan City also require a large number of treasurys. Xue Zhidie's shipyard, Li Fenglai and others' mines, and Yin Gensheng and others' iron smelting furnaces all require a large number of workers. Zhang Zhun has quite sufficient money and grain. As long as they are willing to work, they will earn one tael of silver or two hundred kilograms of grain every month. There is no problem at all.

For example, it takes at least 500 workers to build a wharf in Heilong Bay. It also takes at least 500 workers to build a cement road from Heilong Bay to Fushan City. In addition, due to the construction of various infrastructure, a large amount of cement is required, and a large number of workers are also required. The salary of these workers is basically about one tael of silver per month. From September this year to October next year, thirteen months, everyone can earn at least thirteen taels of silver. If there are a few people in the family who come out to work, their income will be even higher. Even if they don’t farm, they will not starve to death.

Chen Lingfei's fleet continued to transport grain from Jiangnan and put it into the market of Fushancheng to meet the needs of local people. Since the supply of grain is quite sufficient, the price of grain is relatively stable. Now, Aoshancheng has also opened up a grain market. The price per catty of grain transported from Jiangnan is about seven cents. In the market of Aoshancheng, the price per catty of grain is about ten to twelve cents. One tael of silver can buy about one hundred kilograms of grain, and one person can't finish it.

Of course, it is impossible to live a comfortable life all at once. However, such income is already very satisfactory for them. They have food, clothes, and work to do, and are not afraid of the attacks of the Tartars. If they leave Zhang Zhun's territory, where can they find it? In the north now, it feels that even the capital under the feet of the emperor is not safe, and they have been attacked by the Tartars twice.

They witnessed the extremely vicious Tartars with their own eyes, defeated by the guards, fled in a panic, and naturally had full of trust in Aoshan City. The fact is the best persuasion, and they certainly believe in their eyes. In this world, what else is safer than Aoshan City?

Zhang Zhun remembered the female hostages who were driven up by the Tartars to be cannon fodder and said slowly: "Those female hostages, please pay more attention to those female hostages. If there are still many, they will also receive them from Aoshan City. Each of them will be divided into five acres of land. If not, help them build a family as soon as possible and stabilize them."

Meng Qinghao said in a little embarrassedly: "Sir, please don't worry, we have already arranged it. They are all willing to stay in Aoshan City. But this is a matter of getting married and having children, and it is barely possible..."

Zhang Zhun shook his head and said, "What can you do? Hold on!"

Everyone didn't understand why.

Zhang Zhun said slowly: "If they want to find a man as soon as possible, it is not to threaten them or look down on them, but to consider several reasons. First, single women are always gossiping. Second, I think they are all women of the right age, and they are just at the age of giving birth, so why not have children? When they get old, they can't give birth to them. Third, they are not tired of working together. You should arrange for them to go out with other men. It's time to do anything that men and women don't get married. That's the matter of ladies. We are all military households, and we don't have this trick!"

Meng Qinghao and others expressed their education.

Zhang Zhun nodded and asked again: "How is the living water in Laoshan?"
