It is late spring again, and several reservoirs have been built in Daqi, and they are all located in the middle of mountains with high mountains and dense forests.

The people in the lower reaches were not happy at first, but when they heard that they were in charge of food and housing, they were all willing to go: if they can't even get enough to eat at home, who wouldn't be happy if they could have a full meal when they go out to work?
So everyone went.

The reservoir was repaired just in time for the flood season.

In the past, whenever there was heavy rain, the villagers living by the river would complain incessantly. But this time everyone was shocked to find that the reservoir actually blocked the rolling torrent a lot!The house that was frequently flooded in the past was actually saved this year!
In the past, only one out of ten households in Zeguo was destroyed, but this year only one or two households were destroyed!

This is big progress!

After the flood season, it hasn't rained for several days, the rivers have dried up, and the fields have begun to crack.

The people looked desperate: without rain, this season's rice would be all gone!

At this time, water suddenly came from the canal that everyone had built before. It was actually the newly built reservoir upstream that released water!
Seeing that their fields only needed to dig a hole in the canal to get water, the villagers really realized: the reservoir is really useful!

It can save lives in flood season, and water can be released to save crop seedlings in drought season!
As the news spread, people from all over the country began to look forward to the reservoir!
If there is a reservoir, I can imagine that my family will not starve to death!

At this time, the government began to issue announcements: Construction of the new reservoir would begin in winter, and every household would send people to repair the reservoir and take care of food and housing.

At the same time, under the newly built reservoir, a new Zhuangzi also issued an announcement.

There are hundreds of hectares of fertile land below the reservoir that need to be reclaimed and cultivated. Those who are willing to reclaim and cultivate the land can do it for free for three years. After three years, if they are willing to stay and cultivate the land, [-]% of the rent per year will be enough.

If you want to buy these fields, you can also buy them directly with the same price as the market price.

That's under the reservoir!That is fertile land with water!
Who wouldn't want such a good thing?

Many people immediately started to inquire. After the inquiry was over, everyone learned that the fertile farmland actually belonged to Master Qi and Princess Qingyu, who were responsible for building the reservoir. They suddenly felt a sense of security!
Can someone who can organize everyone to build a reservoir deceive everyone?
That must be believable!

So those who lived in high places and had difficulty growing their own land signed up.

Half of the hundred hectares of fertile land was sold in three days, and the rest was rented to villagers who were willing to farm the land. It was agreed that they would be free to cultivate the land for three years, and after three years they would decide whether to buy it or hand it over. Rent grain.

With the first reservoir as an example, both the construction of the second reservoir and the leasing and selling of fertile land after construction went very smoothly...

The construction work of the reservoir has entered a virtuous cycle.

The matter of road construction is more simple and crude.

Because there were roads in those places, but the roads were not good. Now they just need to be widened, leveled and hardened.

After paving the sand, a layer of bluestone slabs were transported on top, and a stone road that could allow two carriages to drive side by side was built.

Seeing the yellow mud road leading to Fucheng from the town turned into a bluestone road, the people who were responsible for participating couldn't tell how happy they were!

How happy would it be if there was such a road to walk around when going out?

So the villagers close to the roadside began to think: Can they repair their crumbling houses directly to the roadside?

Upon inquiring, the villagers found out: the nearly ten feet of width on both sides of the road had been given by the imperial court to Mr. Qi, who was in charge of road construction!
However, Mr. Qi is very generous: If local villagers want to build roads beside the road, they can buy land beside the road. The price is much cheaper than in Fucheng, but of course it is much more expensive than the wasteland in the village.

Many far-sighted people have made a calculation: if they build a house on the side of the road, they can still do some business, but in the future they might just go ashore and become a business owner?Isn’t that much easier than farming?So there are actually people willing to buy it.

One person led a group of people, and soon, rows of houses were built on the roadside outside Fucheng.

But on the two-mile road near Fucheng, the land was not sold, but large brick and tile houses began to be built uniformly.

Rows of large blue brick houses, all with two floors, with shops in the front and yards in the back...

Just thinking about it makes me feel comfortable!

After being repaired, these houses began to be sold out. The prices were naturally not cheap, but they were much cheaper than those in Fucheng...

If it is not sold immediately, then rent it out and rent it out to people as inns, restaurants, shops...

Suddenly, the reputation of Mr. Qi and Shen Qingyu spread throughout Da Qi.

Not to mention anything else, I just want to say that these two couples are really making money!

At this time, Princess Qingyu, the largest real estate developer in Daqi, was traveling around Daqi with her children.

With five children, Erbao followed the crazy Taoist and traveled around the major cities. Now his mother is willing to take his sister and younger brothers and sisters to accompany them. This makes Erbao so happy that he almost goes crazy!
"Mom, I have been to this city last time. There is a kind of glutinous rice cake here that is particularly delicious..." Erbao started to swallow his saliva as he spoke, and guided everyone there with familiarity.

"Mom, why does that hat look like this?" Dabao looked at the bamboo hat on the head of the villager in the boiler in shock.

The bamboo hats she had seen in the past were all woven downwards, but the ones here were woven very wide. Except for a little bulge in the middle to facilitate placement on the head, the rest was just a big disk!

Xiaobao also shouted in shock: "Mom, that person is eating something wrapped in tree leaves! Is that thing edible?"

Shen Qingyu smiled at the children who had never seen the world, and promised graciously. She was glad that she had chosen to take her children on a journey of thousands of miles.

Only by seeing a different world can you know how beautiful life is.

In this era, due to inconvenient transportation, people in different places have different living habits, eating habits, language, and clothing.

Among the triplets, Erbao has seen a lot of the world, but Dabao and Xiaobao have only been to the capital and the seaside.

The two younger ones grew up on the island and are as tanned as black loaches.

This time Shen Qingyu chose to take the five children around because he also wanted to let the children interact with different people.

The group of people traveled in a simple carriage, and there were also three horse-drawn carriages. They were very conspicuous in some remote towns.

At first, the children were only curious about all kinds of food and strange clothes. As they stayed in more inns and saw more various things, they began to be interested in tables, chairs, benches, dishes, and even things in various places. It was all kinds of farm tools that aroused curiosity.

Shen Qingyu didn't care at all and let them explore.

This made Zhao Yuzhu worried and anxious: These things are dirty, how can they be asked to touch them?
What if I get injured?
What if they are ignorant and eat it in their mouths? (End of chapter)
