Chapter 237 Chapter 237
Even the local houses are tall and solid, and the layout of the village is reasonable. Although the people come in and out for a moment, they always have a smile on their faces.

On the pretext of asking for water, Chen Fusheng entered a farmyard, and found that their yard was not big, but it was kept clean. There was a screen wall when entering the door.

There are three main rooms, the main room has the functions of living room, kitchen and dining room, the elderly live in the east, and the younger generation live in the west.

Food and sundries are temporarily piled up in the two rooms in the east wing, and they can be separated when the children grow up. The west wing is semi-open, with one room for storing farm tools and the other for tying animals.

A chicken coop was built in the gap between the east wing and the main room, where two hens laying eggs and a rooster crowing were raised.

An open-air stove is built in the gap between the west wing and the main room, and a simple roof is built, so you can cook here in hot summer.

Chen Fusheng was dressed in casual clothes, and besides his entourage, there were guards appointed by the military behind him. He asked the old man who stayed at home: "I think your house is quite new?"

The old man smiled, and brought Chen Fusheng a bowl of cold boiled water in a rough porcelain bowl, "This is made by the army who sent people to help make it. You see, the layout of our village is almost the same, that is, the family has a large population. The house is slightly larger. The princess said that the foundation of our house is well laid and the walls are thick enough. In the future, if the population becomes too large to live in, we can still build buildings.

"My old man is getting old, and I don't dare to live if I don't know the world or the ground. The young people are fine. I heard that the upper floor is still cool in summer.

"You drink, you drink, this is boiled water, the Princess said drinking unboiled water is easy to get sick, so let us drink cooked water on weekdays.

"The princess also taught us how to plant a fast-growing forest. It can grow into a big tree in one year. If it is cut down in autumn, it can grow again in the next spring. There is no need to worry about firewood.

"Actually, there are a lot of wild grass and wild trees in our place, as long as we work hard, we won't worry about running out of firewood.

"But the princess said that you can't cut down trees casually. We don't understand the reason. Anyway, it's right to do what the princess said."

Chen Fusheng asked kindly: "Old man, these three words of yours are inseparable from the princess. I only know the general king, but I don't know there is another princess."

"You don't even know the princess?" The old man rolled his eyes at him, disgusted, "Aren't you a foreigner who just came here?
"The princess is the Princess Wancheng appointed by the imperial court, our prince's fiancée, who came to our side last spring.

"You don't know how capable the princess is. As soon as she came, she led the people she brought to reclaim wasteland and farm, and borrowed people from the army to dig a lot of adobe and build a city.

"The remaining adobes have helped us locals start building houses one after another, which is what our house looks like. If we can't even eat, how can we have a house to live in?
"Our family is not qualified to raise livestock, but we can ask our superiors to borrow one during the busy farming season, and we will not deliver it until the busy farming season is over. During this period, we have to take care of the livestock.

"With livestock to plow the land, people can save a lot of effort, and they can also do part-time labor and earn a little money.

"Hey, by the way, do you know? Because of years of wars, we have a lot of unowned land here. The general king handed over all the farming to the princess, and the princess sent someone to make a distribution. Allocating two mu of land, like our family of five, that is ten mu of land!
"But you only need to pay one-tenth of the tax every year, and the rest is your own!
"Just thinking about how much food can be harvested, the old man can wake up laughing from my dreams!"
