Chapter 229 A Bright Future
The intoxicating moonlit night in the prairie, the intoxicating beauty of the world!
Maybe, the two of them don't need to be vigorous, what they need is to be in each other's hands, right?
If you just walk like this for the rest of your life, just hold hands like this for the rest of your life, it's fine!
It was late at night, and the dew was heavy. Gu Zhang helped Su Ruoli lie on the bed. The two of them, who had been tired for several days, fell asleep quickly in bed. smile!

The epidemic is slowly under control, and the houses in Yicheng are almost built.

Another year of warm spring and flowers blooming, the grassland is full of vitality.The sown seeds also germinated, and in the distance, the newly reclaimed fields were full of green seedlings.

Gu Zhang led Su Ruoli, who had just recovered from a serious illness, and walked on the field ridge in good spirits, and the two walked side by side.

"Li'er, look, there are many people and great strength. We will not suffer any more by this autumn. In the future, this place will become an oasis again." Gu Zhang happily pointed at the verdant greenery. said to Su Ruoli.

"Yeah, this year, we have finally made it through. If you survive a catastrophe, you will be blessed!" Su Ruoli sighed sincerely, "It's just that we can't over-develop this grassland. When the time comes, the grassland will be destroyed, and the wind and sand will destroy it." If it gets bigger, it’s not an oasis.”

Gu Zhang has never heard of such words, he does not understand what is over-exploitation.He only knew that his soldiers and refugees would be hungry if they had nothing to eat, and in order not to be hungry, they had to open up wasteland and cultivate fields.

Who would have thought that if the turf is destroyed in the future, this grassland will also become a desert?

Hearing Su Ruoli's words now, he was both surprised and curious, and couldn't help but set up a pergola to look into the distance, "Will such an endless prairie turn into a desert?"

How can you believe him if you haven't seen him with your own eyes?
But Su Ruoli, who came from thousands of years later, felt the ravages of the sandstorm firsthand. When it blew up, the dust flew all over the sky, flying sand and rocks, and no one could be seen when he went out.

Isn't the modern environmental pollution artificially overexploited?
The natural environment also has its limits. If we don't guard against it now, in the future, it will be the future generations who will suffer.

Although Gu Zhang didn't necessarily know this truth, he believed what Su Ruoli said, so he couldn't help asking Su Ruoli with some worry, "According to you, what should we do? Don't we just farm the land? If so, what should we do?" Aren't we all going to starve to death here?"

No one wants to starve to death, not to mention that Su Ruoli doesn't want to live a life like that.

She touched Gu Zhang's arm, pointed to the grassland far away, and said, "Look, if we plant a Populus euphratica forest here, it will grow into a forest in the future, it will prevent wind and fix sand, and there will be no desert."

After a pause, she raised her voice again, "Although we are now short of food and need to open up fields, but in the future we need to develop in other ways to make life easier. We can't just rely on farming, but we can also do business. I think After that, this road leads to Dazhou in the interior, enters the territory of the Hu people in the west, and there are more countries in the west, if there are endless caravans at that time, why should we worry about living a bad life here?"

She pointed out a beautiful and bright avenue for Gu Zhang, and Gu Zhang would definitely adopt it.

Sure enough, after Gu Zhang heard this, a look of admiration appeared on his face, and he grabbed Su Ruoli's slender waist, "Li'er, how do you know so much? Not only do you know medical skills, but you also know these practical things Something. Tell me, are you a goddess descended from heaven?"

Su Ruoli was held tightly in his arms, and leaned happily on his shoulder. Hearing this, he couldn't help but burst out laughing, deliberately teasing him, "Don't tell me, your boy is a blessed one. So God sent me down to save you."

In fact, to be honest, she is also similar to the goddess descending to earth. To this ancient man, a soul from another world is also similar to the goddess descending to earth.I just don't know if Gu Zhang really knows her real situation one day, will he be scared to death?
"Tell me, what would you think if I was really a goddess descending to earth?" Su Ruoli stretched out her slender index finger to draw on his chest circle by circle through the spring clothes, as if deliberately teasing him, with three A genuine three-point tentative smile.

"Haha, it doesn't matter if you are a goddess or a ghost in the middle of the night, anyway, in this life, you can only be my wife, Gu Zhang, and no one can take it away!" The ground hugged her and hung up on the ridge of the field.

The spring sun hit the grass blades and their bodies, like koi carp jumping.

Su Ruoli hugged his shoulder and couldn't help laughing, this guy is really right, she is not a midnight ghost!
The days that followed were much easier, because Gu Zhang listened to Su Ruoli's suggestion, not only traded with the Hu people, but also sent many people to the Western Regions to investigate on the spot, encouraging those refugees to bring local products to the market. Go further afield to do business.

Slowly, with Yicheng as the center, a business circle was formed.

After more than half a year of construction, Yicheng has now become a small modern city with a decent appearance.The streets are horizontal and vertical, wide and flat, and they are all paved with large bluestone slabs. Walking on them is clean, and you will no longer be afraid of dust sticking to your shoes and skirts.

The three-storey small buildings are neatly planned, row after row.

The center has a medical center, a school, a library, a small park for entertainment and leisure, and public toilets.Everything is modeled after modern apartment facilities.It looks beautiful and tidy, and it is unprecedented.

For those refugees who have worked hard in the mine for a year, each household can be allocated a unit. On the day of moving, every household firecrackers, thanking General Gu and his wife for allowing them to live such a good life.

As for the soldiers in the field, Gu Zhang is also planning to build such buildings for them to live in according to their ranks.It's just that most of these people's family members are not here, and they have been guarding the border for many years, so they are inevitably homesick.

Watching Yicheng become more and more beautiful day by day, Su Ruoli gave advice to Gu Zhang, telling him what he had seen and heard in his previous life, "If the veterans on the border have family members, you can ask for their opinions and let them They take their family members over, and if they don't want to, they can also let them go back to their hometown to visit their relatives!"

"But, if we really let them go back to visit their relatives, will they never come back?" Gu Zhang couldn't help worrying, ordinary people, who would want to come here to guard the border?I don't know if I can go back alive. Who wants to risk their lives?

"It depends on how you, the general, arrange it." Su Ruoli picked her fingernails and smiled brightly, "If this place is good, maybe some people really don't want to leave. Now that you are here guarding, Zaguli will never start a war. The big guys have land again, and they can also start a business and do some side business, so they don’t need them to live well at home? Maybe this walk will bring you a lot of people join the army."

Hearing what Su Ruoli said, Gu Zhang was really flustered, and the two couldn't help but stare at each other, "Why don't we try it first and ask anyone who wants to bring their family members here? Share a house, the land is exempt from taxation for three years, children can be arranged to study in schools, and there is no need to spend money on medical treatment?"

"Then try it." The two discussed it properly, and on the second day, Gu Zhang held a military meeting of generals and schools.

The generals didn't know what important military affairs the general had summoned them, and they all sat in their tents with solemn expressions, waiting for Gu Zhang to make arrangements.

Unexpectedly, Gu Zhang's first sentence shocked them for a long time, "Everyone, I'm here today. The general just wants to ask, who has family members? Do you want to bring them here?" Then he said Those preferential policies said so.

Sure enough, people's hearts are fleshy. When the general asked about his family members, the eyes of these iron-blooded men stationed at the border all the year round turned red.

Someone directly lowered their heads and sobbed, "There are old and young in the family, and I don't know if they have something to eat? Did they take the money back?"

"There is no fighting at the border now, it is very safe, there is food and drink, and the general gave the house to live in, why not take the whole family over here, even if you do business here, you can eat?"

With a lively mind, he immediately thought of the bright future in the future, and began to feel restless.

"Everyone, don't be impatient. The general has already made arrangements for the residence. In a few months, another Yicheng will be built. You have seen the houses in Yicheng. Are they better than the houses in your hometown?"

"Okay, of course it's good. The small adobe house at home leaks non-stop when it rains. If I can live in such a house, my wife and child will be very happy."

"General, let's go back and take over our wives and children, shall we? As long as the general doesn't dislike them, they can do anything when they come."

Some people were impatient, Gu Zhang saw that the situation was better than he expected, so he couldn't help but raised his hand happily, "Be safe, everyone, and let the master count how many family members need to take over later. Write down all your hometowns and residences, and I will send someone to bring them back to you."

All the generals applauded after hearing this, and they were very grateful to Gu Zhang from the bottom of their hearts.

After all these people dispersed, Su Ruoli pulled out the curtain from the inside and smiled at Gu Zhang, "How is it? Did you win the hearts of the soldiers again?"

"You little ghost, you have so many tricks!" Gu Zhang stretched out his big hand, grabbed Su Ruoli, smiled and nodded her little nose.

"It doesn't look like it won't be long before there will be infinite vitality in this grassland." Su Ruoli said in a flash, suddenly thought of something, raised her face and asked Gu Zhang, "Should we also take mother and the others over?" Alright? The third brother and the third sister are grown up, we, brothers and sisters-in-law, should give them some consideration."

"Well, let's do it together." Gu Zhang pondered and nodded for a moment.
