I don't want to be a saint

Chapter 254 It Has Nothing to Do with the Common People!
After more than half a year of renovation, Yanglin Village has changed drastically.Many dilapidated thatched houses have been replaced by new houses with red bricks and green tiles.

Under the twilight of dawn, a brand new fiery red.

Although Yang Lijie and Yang Liwen went to Jiangling City in a team, the engineering team of Yanglin Village was not disbanded and continued to operate under the supervision of Mr. Yang.

In more than half a year, one-third of the new houses have been rebuilt.Even the muddy and dusty dirt roads in the village were repaired and paved with red bricks.

There are drainage channels on both sides of the street, connecting the Xizhang River.

On both sides of the river, a barrel car is erected every 50 meters.A long dragon composed of bobbins stands on both sides of the river, and it is spectacular from a distance.

This is the shock brought by artificial creation.

The river flows slowly, driving the bobbins to run day and night, pumping up the clear and translucent river water and transporting it to the distant fields.

The seedlings in the field are growing gratifyingly, and the greenery is boundless.As long as God is in a good mood, it will be another bumper harvest year.

Many peasants who got up early were pulling up weeds in the fields with their trousers rolled up facing the rising sun.

The occasional barking of dogs and crowing of cocks also came from afar.

A peaceful and magnificent scene, as beautiful as a picture scroll.

On the main road in the east-west direction, a mule cart carrying three men, with the sun on their backs, headed west all the way, slowly driving on the dusty broken dirt road.

Listening to the crowing of cocks and the barking of dogs in the distance, and looking at the endless seedlings, I felt an indescribable peace in my heart.

Lin Jiamu and Zhuzi sat side by side on the shaft of the car, and couldn't help sighing: "Mr. Wuliu's paradise is nothing more than this?"

Ha ha!

Return Mr. Wuliu's paradise...

Guo Yi couldn't help laughing, you only saw the paradise in front of you, but you haven't seen the necessities of life.

In life, there are not only poems and distant fields, but also the struggle in front of you!

But to be honest, the scenery is really good, but the two big black chimneys with straight black smoke are really a bit unpleasant.

Is this what people often say, at the expense of the environment, in exchange for rapid economic development?
But this is far from the steam revolution, asshole!
Originally, Guo Yi was going to Songlin County with Lin Jiamu today, but he suddenly remembered that the patriarch of the Lin clan, the clean-dressed and elegant Mr. Lin, the uncle of the one-eyed dragon Lin Zaifeng, was once the head of Songlin County. book.

So, he suggested to Lin Jiamu that they go back to Yanglin Village to visit Mr. Lin and ask him about the situation in Songlin County.

Lin Jiamu readily agreed, and returned with the two of them.Sitting on the shaft of the car with legs drooping very leisurely, pointing at the two big black smoke in the distance, he asked curiously: "Is there a brick kiln over there?"

He has lived in the capital for more than ten years, and has never seen such a scene.But after coming to Jiangling, this kind of scene is not uncommon.

On the other side of the porcelain kiln workshop, there are more than a dozen large chimneys lined up side by side, which is even more unique in Jiangling.

"Well! Brick kiln." Guo Yi lay on the soft straw in the carriage with his legs crossed, his hands folded behind his head, and he looked at the blue sky and white clouds high above.

He responded without looking at it: "Bricks and stones are one of the most basic building materials! No matter whether you are building bridges or roads, or building houses and workshops, you cannot do without this kind of bricks and stones.

When you arrive in Songlin County, you can also promote it.According to the model of Jiangling City, brick kilns were built in the village to replace corvees. "

"Repairing the roof of the brick kiln?" Lin Jiamu was very puzzled: "What does this mean?"

"Build a brick kiln in the village so that the villagers can burn bricks in their spare time. As long as a certain amount of red bricks are burned every year, they can replace the corvees in the village. The extra red bricks are used by the villagers themselves."

Hearing this, Lin Jiamu pondered for a moment, then suddenly slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "Wonderful! This plan is very clever! Let them use the extra red bricks by themselves, so that they will not be lazy and will definitely work hard Work and burn bricks. While the government got the red bricks, the common people were sent out to do corvee, killing two birds with one stone.

Well!This idea needs to be well promoted.Well, I have to go to your village to take a good look, there should be other things that need to be learned. "

While the two were talking, the mule cart turned slowly onto the village road.

From time to time, villagers shuttled back and forth on the road, and when they saw Zhuzi and Guo Yi, they stopped involuntarily to say hello.

"Hey! Isn't this a pillar? Ah! Brother Yi is back!"

"Isn't it Brother Yi! It can be regarded as coming back!"

"Brother Yi, you haven't come back for some days!"

The villagers were very enthusiastic, gathered around the mule cart, smiling from ear to ear.

Guo Yi did not neglect either, and took out the candies, pastries and some special snacks brought back from the city, and distributed them one by one.

"Come here! Try them all, try them all, but you can buy a lot of them!" He was not stingy at all, bought half a car's worth of food, and scattered out a lot.

The life of the old Yang family this year is more than ten times better than before. They dig coal and sell candles, and they get paid every month.Many people followed Yang Liwen and the others to work in the city, and the wages were not low.

In just half a year, it has become the wealthiest village in eight townships.The matchmakers who came to propose marriage came one by one.

Now that the villagers have money, they naturally have no shortage of food.

But at the moment, it is Guo Yi who is eating food!

No one refused, each of them wiped their hands on their clothes and rushed to take it.

Lin Jiamu sat on the shaft of the car and watched, feeling dazed.Guo Erlang, who was famous in Jinghu at a young age, has a high prestige in the village.

The people surrounding the mule cart were all happy from the bottom of their hearts and kept complimenting him.

It's understandable if you think about it, since Guo Erlang can lead Jiangling City to make a fortune, then his own village must be no problem.

Just look at those new houses with red bricks and green tiles, and you can get a glimpse of them.

It's true that there are people beyond people, and there is a sky beyond the sky!
The teacher is right, you should come out to see the world, gain knowledge, and not just stay in the capital.

In the capital city, we can only see the prosperous age, people live and work in peace and contentment, singing and dancing; only after they come out, do they know the sufferings, the common people are destitute, poorly clothed, hungry, homeless, abandoning their families and businesses, their wives and children are scattered...

There are only two beautiful words, but there are too many sufferings.

Just like what he saw and heard on the way from the capital to Jiangling, only Liao Liao, a few big cities, is still safe and happy, with prosperous commerce and good order.

But once they left the city, they were almost full of disheveled people, not to mention their tattered clothes, and they were all sallow and emaciated.It is simply two worlds with the city.

It seems that they are out of tune with this world, full of malice everywhere.

No, not this world, it should be said that it was the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The Great Zhou Dynasty of the Guo family, the Great Zhou Dynasty of the scholar-bureaucrats, and the Great Zhou Dynasty of the rich and powerful families.

Nothing to do with the people.
