Nanming: I can build wonders

The cause of the Qing Dynasty was booming, and Zhu Kezang did not stay in Xi'an in vain.

A few months have passed, Xi'an Mansion has taken on a new look, and it will become the logistics base for Ming to conquer Central Asia.

Wang Shouyin, a refugee from Yan'an Prefecture, boarded this familiar yet unfamiliar land uneasy.

Wang Shouyin is different from many refugees. He was originally a small landlord, with more than 100 mu of land in his family, three long-term workers and two servants.

It's just a pity that in the early years after the Ming Dynasty dominated the south of the Yangtze River, the Qing army forcibly occupied his family's land in the name of military supplies.

Later, Daming called, and the Qing army exploited him again before retreating.

In desperation, he left Yan'an Mansion with his wife and children, and went to his sister who married in Taiyuan, Shanxi.Unfortunately, his sister's life is not going well.

Although my brother-in-law is a scholar, he doesn't work hard in his limbs and doesn't know the grains. The family eats the last meal without the next meal, and there is no surplus food for Wang Shouyin's family.

Not long after, Wang Shouyin's money was exhausted, so he could only leave Shanxi and return to Shaanxi, but he had no money and got mixed up in the refugee camp.

During this period of war and chaos, Wang Shouyin's family barely survived by eating soil, digging roots, and hiding in Tibet.

Due to the widespread spread of Shaanxi folk songs: Huang Shatou and Zhu eating noodles, Wang Shouyin's family moved to Xi'an Prefecture with a nervous mood, just to eat a mouthful of full noodles.

On the banks of the Weishui River in Xi'an, the bustling refugees lined up neatly in square formations under the organization and arrangement of the Ming Defense Force.

A young man in a red uniform shouted: "Everyone, be quiet!"

"You can live in Xi'an Mansion with peace of mind. For the next five days, two meals a day will be served regularly. Don't expect to eat well, but at least you won't be hungry!"

"Someone will come to register you right away. Those under the age of 12 will go to school, the young and strong will go to work for the government, the old and weak, women and children will look after the house or farm the land. As long as you are willing to work hard for Ming Dynasty, you will definitely be able to survive!"

The person who spoke was Xu Xianwen.

His elder brother is Xu Xianwu, the champion of martial arts in the Qing Dynasty.

After their family ran to their hometown in Hebei, they were silent for a while. Seeing that the Ming army passing by was very disciplined and mighty, Xu Xianwu, the champion of martial arts, immediately defected to the Ming Dynasty Defense Force.

After defecting to the Ming Dynasty Defense Force, it was discovered that a small part of the Ming Dynasty Defense Force turned out to be the Green Battalion of the Qing Dynasty. They were completely reformed by the Ming Dynasty, and they did not see the bad habits of drinking blood, laziness, and war cowardice.

Xu Xianwu was very surprised. Is this the new atmosphere of the new dynasty?
This is the credit of the spectacle and the concept. With the blessing of countless buffs, even the green camp in 1840 can per capita Baturu.

Xu Xian was born as the No. [-] scholar in martial arts, so he was naturally valued. It didn't take long for him to take him to the Yingtian headquarters of the Daming Imperial Military Academy for further training. If everything goes well, he will be able to join the ranks of the Guards after the training is completed.

His younger brother's martial arts skills were not high, and he couldn't learn the Four Books and Five Classics. It coincided with the sensational holding of the Civil Service Examination of the central authority of the Ming Empire in February 1689, referred to as the National Examination.

Xu Xianwen is not capable of humanities, but he can also do arithmetic. With the help of the official learning materials for the pre-examination sprint - three years of public examination and five years of simulation, Xu Xianwen went ashore in one fell swoop and was admitted to the State Administration of Taxation of the Ming Empire!

He was assigned to the Xi'an Branch Bureau. Although his future was not as good as the imperial examination, the Xu family was very satisfied.

Wang Shouyin has experienced the hardships of troubled times, and knows that he should look at what they do, not what they say. Before he gave them food, he didn't believe a word.

With a wry smile on his face, he comforted his wife and children beside him: "Don't be afraid, even if Daming doesn't give rice noodles to eat, I still have some strength!"

All the refugees and Wang Shouyin didn't dare to expect to be able to eat any decent food for a long time, as long as they don't starve to death, anyway, life is as cheap as dirt in troubled times.

After waiting for half an hour, someone finally led them to Xi'an City.

Leaving the Weishui River and getting closer to Xi'an City, Wang Shouyin and others were dumbfounded when they saw the clean roadside.

"This thief is Xi'an?"

He didn't know how to describe it, but what they saw was a concrete road about twenty feet wide.

There are also white seals and street signs on the road.

On this road that seems to extend to the horizon, there are tall four-wheeled carriages driving.

Most of these four-wheeled carriages are made of steel, and they are worth a lot of money at first glance.

Daming is too arrogant.

"Go to the right, don't run around, don't obey the traffic rules, you deserve to be hit and killed, adults of all families, take care of your children!"

Xu Xianwen, who was in charge of the team, yelled and pointed at the refugees running around, and came up with a whip: "My ears are stuffed with donkey hair, can't you hear? Walk on the sidewalk!"

To deal with refugees, sometimes these quick methods are needed.

Sure enough, under the discipline of the whip, the refugee team finally walked very neatly.

Finally, they came to a new camp in the northwest outskirts of Xi'an.

There are rows of neat and white houses in the camp.

When they came to the camp, they finally smelled the aroma of food,

Smelling the aroma of food made me feel even hungrier.

"Line up, don't squeeze!"

Wang Shouyin took his wife and son to the place where the lunch boxes were distributed.

The lunch boxes here are similar to the stainless steel dinner plates in the canteens of later generations, the difference is that the quality looks much worse.

But in this day and age, it's definitely something new.

The Ming style lunch box is forged using a steam stamping machine, divided into four grids, and comes with a pair of wooden chopsticks.

"Two big ones, one small, three copies!"

A fat man handing out three sets of meals to Wang Shouyin shouted.

Wang Shouyin took the tableware and continued to walk in front of the team.

He finally saw what the so-called don't want to eat good food, there are only three dishes, shredded radish, shredded potato, shredded cabbage, and a small piece of pork.

The staple food is noodles made of cornmeal.

The eyes of Wang Shouyin's family were all straightened. When he was not in a disaster before, he couldn't guarantee that he could eat this kind of food every day?
There was actually a piece of pork.

And it's not all fat, there's actually lean meat in it.

The pig industry in Daming is thriving now. In places like Yingtianfu, people can eat pork twice a week.

In the old imperial districts like Dongning Mansion, pork can be eaten three times a week on average.

Looking at the food on the dinner plate, Wang Shouyin burst into tears. How long has it been since he had such a good meal?

Wang Shouyin knew that being a member of the Ming Dynasty would be able to receive such treatment, he should not have gone to Shanxi in the first place, and should have gone all the way south!
After eating a hot and full meal, the mood of the refugees finally stabilized.

"Listen all of you, this lunch box will be delivered to you. When the bell rings in the evening, you are ready to come and line up for lunch. Wash your own plates and wash them yourself. Don't waste water!" The dog licks everything cleanly, so there is no need to wash it at all.

After everyone finished eating, they were gathered in a yard again.

"Distribute clothes immediately, the first set of clothes is free, and you will have to earn money on your own in the future. You guys go to the shower first, and everyone washes themselves clean, you have to check!"

As night falls, population gathers, industries start, and roads expand, an important town in the northwest is slowly rising.
