Chapter 239 New House Completion

“Next, I will invest and recruit the idle townspeople to build roads. Just build the only way to reach these water sources, and fetching water in the future can save a lot of manpower and material resources. Of course, the streets of the town must also be strengthened.”

As for the town wall, she will not consider it for the time being.

Because the small town is still expanding outward, maybe the late stage will develop into a county town or even a big city. It is too early to build the city wall now.

Guangzuo took the drawing, looked at it a few times, and asked Xu Zhiming to get his pen and ink. Starting from the town, he drew a long black line:

“Miss, since the road is to be built, then this main road is indispensable.”

Old Man Shen, Old Man Xia, and even Aunt Hua Wu and Aunt Fang Liu looked around curiously with their bowls and chopsticks.

“Master Guangzuo, is there anything different about your main road?”

Aunt Fang Liu asked curiously.

For Guangzuo, whose joy and anger never show up in color, everyone’s sense of awe is much higher than that of the gentle and demure Xi Yue. Among the townsfolk, only Aunt Fang Liu, who has always been brazen and nervous, dared to face him.

Guangzuo fingered the map, seemingly answering questions, but in fact, all attention fell on his own Miss:

“At both ends of this main road, one end is connected to Ruzhou and Pingzhou in the western Buqi family; the other end is connected to the Wu family in the east and the Ran family in the south.”

Others were ignorant and didn’t care. Only Xu Zhiming was careful and horrified at once: “Didn’t we fix the road just in time for them to call and control us? No!”

When the town was first built, the townspeople have already tasted the endless sweetness of being their own homes and turning over to be the masters. Besides, the officials at this time may not be better than the bandits.

So in any case, they are not willing to return to the dark period of being enslaved.

Isolated from the world, a paradise, is the life they yearn for.

“If you don’t build roads and go out, you are self-proclaimed, so others won’t come in? How did those bandits unite to attack us? It’s nothing more than knowing that you have spare money and spare food, and they have the goal of plundering them.”

Guangzuo glanced coldly at the shuddering people: “This road construction does increase the risk of outsiders trying to control our land. Similarly, it has greatly promoted our development and facilitated our logistics transportation.”

“At both ends of this road, there is a dangerous place that can be called a moat. If we can take down these two dangerous places and build a checkpoint, our location will be able to retreat and defend and attack. The prospects for development are unlimited.”

Xu Zhiming thoughtfully. Xi Yue understood Guangzuo’s strategic intentions in an instant.

As for the other members of the committee, they are all townspeople. Xu Zhiming had nothing to say, they naturally agreed without objection.

It’s just that these two dangerous places are heavily entrenched by bandits. It’s not that it can’t be beaten, but that there is no manpower to consolidate the defense, so this step is left to the end.

The members of the township committee reached a preliminary consensus on this: First, build a road to the water source.

In addition, among the people who have joined the town one after another, there are talents who are good at exploring soil and finding underground water veins. Recruiting them to investigate and dig wells in the town and surrounding areas. After success, it will benefit the townspeople and it is also a way to solve the problem of water resources.

Guangchen was by the side and recorded a brief summary.

Next, Xi Yue proposed to discuss the most important issue, the issue of land distribution.

The barren land is really not contentious. But not fighting now does not mean not fighting in the future.

The real problem is that the original townspeople have thin fields ranging from one acre to several acres; while the newly joined townspeople have two-sleeved breeze, no shingles to cover their heads, and no space for their feet to shelter.

In the long run, it will inevitably lead to conflicts and affect the development of the town.



The original townspeople and the newly settled townspeople were arguing about whether to redistribute the land and how to distribute it. The wine is bold, each expresses his own opinions, and almost fights.

In the end, Xi Yue came forward to learn from modern practices, and put forward a long-thought plan to comfort both parties.

That is: the fields owned by the original townspeople are owned by their own.

In addition, the town encourages all old and new residents to actively reclaim the surrounding wasteland. All the fields that have been reclaimed are owned by the town. And the townspeople who reclaimed land had a 60-year period of use.

All taxes are exempt for the first three years. In the fourth year, a tax of 10% to 20% was levied based on the soil quality of the fields. And this tax is used as a town treasury, temporarily supervised by the committee.

The construction of public facilities in the town, defense forces, disaster relief, and possible future wars will all be spent on it.

Of course, it is too long to achieve this.

At present, Xi Yue can only pay for all of this out of pocket.

The townspeople are embarrassed to vote by show of hands.

I feel that this is completely dividing Xi Yue’s personal private property as public property.

Xu Zhiming, Father Xia, Aunt Fang Liu and others met together, and all the townspeople voted unanimously: Except for the plot of land in the new house and the open space outside the town, an additional 3,000 acres will be allocated to Xi Yue’s private ownership.

As the mayor who rebuilds the town and has countless living people with his own efforts, he is qualified and of course, and deserves the most sincere and greatest reward from the townsfolk.

Xi Yue previously planned to buy two hundred mu of land as an experimental field. The committee’s proposal, the townspeople expressed their support without any objection, and she was greatly moved.

Of course, she wanted to develop the small town into her own base, and she was selfish. But the simple townspeople paid far more than she expected.

Although it is only three thousand acres of unowned wasteland, it can also be said that the townsfolk are not looking at it now; but in her hands, her Gold Finger can transform it into fertile land. Being reasonable and legal will be where you will find your confidence in the future.

This is much more upright than buying or renting.

Thanks to everyone present, the townspeople enjoyed this banquet and enjoyed the guests and hosts.

Ding Ni brought a group of enthusiastic women table tennis to clean up the table and chopsticks. Only when Xi Yue had time, accompanied by Guang Zuo, got up and slowly visited Own’s new home.

During the period of repairing the house, she was busy running around with Gong Jiu to suppress the bandits, and she had no energy to deal with the construction of the new house. Guangzuo is responsible for the whole process. Now walk around and take a look, very satisfied.

Guang Zuo clearly understood her intentions. Although they were all unified pigeon houses, they had seven in and seven out, and the layout was reasonable and simple.

Considering that during the war, this house will accept the townspeople at any time, and the gate adopts the design of a tower.

The tall towers and thickly painted wooden doors with vermilion lacquer show the noble atmosphere of the host.

The entire courtyard is surrounded by a wall extending from the tower as the center. The blue-black roof and white stone walls in the courtyard form a unified architectural decoration style in the courtyard.

Except for a little play in the pigeon houses, on the whole, it gives people an incomparable sense of security.
