After the harvest, Yun Ruoyue and Chu Xuanchen distributed a lot of grain to the people in proportion to the fruits of their labor.
The people get more for the more they work, and they obtain food entirely based on their own labor, which is more fair.
Of course, if the labor force is insufficient, life is difficult, or there are families with disabilities, Chu Xuanchen will also distribute extra food to them to prevent them from going hungry.
The remaining grain will be used as seeds for planting in the next year, so it should be kept and cannot be eaten.
Although this year's yield is high, there are not many seeds, so the total yield cannot meet everyone's needs.
However, Yun Ruoyue left a lot of seeds. After next year, these seeds will produce more food, and the people will be truly full by then!
However, even if most of the food is planted, the people can still make ends meet and finally no longer need to go hungry.
Everyone knows the importance of saving seeds, so they hold back their appetites and try to save as many seeds as possible for the next year, so as to harvest more food.
In addition to growing food, Yun Ruoyue and Chu Xuanchen also taught everyone how to build houses.
They asked the people to help each other, help each other, and build houses together. After a while, many villagers lived in wooden houses, tile houses or brick houses.
They no longer have to live in wooden shacks that will collapse when a typhoon blows.
They finally have their own home, and all of them have happy smiles on their faces, and they are all full of energy.
In addition, Yun Ruoyue also asked Feng'er and other maids to teach the people to weave cloth. If they weaved the cloth well, they could exchange money with Yun Ruoyue.
Yun Ruoyue asked people to transport these cloths to various places for trade.
She also taught people how to plant mulberry trees, raise silkworms, and make silk. She also taught people how to tame wild animals, hunt, and store food.
They also teach people how to do business, do business, and engage in various trades.
Gradually, the people of South Vietnam lived better and better, especially these seven counties, which soon became the richest counties in South Vietnam.
The news that the people in Longxing County were living a good life suddenly spread to all parts of the country.
At this time, bandits, bandits and refugees from all over the country were running to Longxing County, all hoping to beg for a bowl of food in Longxing County.
For those refugees who are honest and responsible, Chu Xuanchen and Yun Ruoyue will allocate land to them, let them participate in production, and work in exchange for food.
As for the bandits and bandits, they mainly focus on recruiting and educating them.
Those who can be civilized should be civilized slowly; those who cannot be civilized can no longer stay in South Vietnam.
In fact, most of the bandits were forced to do so, and they did not want to be bandits themselves, so for such people, Chu Xuanchen sent people to carefully reform them.
He sent people to teach them how to grow crops, let them exchange labor for food, and asked people to build homes for them.
Over time, these bandits changed their minds, turned over a new leaf, and had a new life.
At the same time, Chu Xuanchen also selected people with strong martial arts skills or strong physical fitness among the refugees to join the Zhennan Army.
Slowly, his Zhennan Army grew stronger and became an army with a large number of people and high quality.
With such an army, no rogue bandits dare to invade.
Chu Xuanchen also led the army to eliminate bandit nests one after another, civilized and transformed batches of bandits, and the security of South Vietnam became better and better.

two years later
As winter turns to spring, the grass grows and orioles fly, and the earth becomes green again.
Waves of gentle wind blew over the fields, causing the wheat seedlings to sway and the rice branches to sway lightly.
The reeds are beginning to appear in the pond, the willow branches by the river are also sprouting buds, and there are pairs of mandarin ducks playing in the river.
The streets in Longxing County are filled with flowers and peach trees. At this time, the peach blossoms are in bloom. The petals are as red as fire, as pink as clouds, and as white as snow. It looks like a spring full of vitality.
The streets of Longxing County were crowded with people and very lively at this time.
Many people set up stalls on the street, and even more people were walking between the stalls and the shops on both sides, shopping happily.
At this time, two cute little kids of six or seven years old walked towards me on the street.
One of these two cute babies is a boy and the other is a little girl. They are both very beautiful. Their skin is whiter than snow, and their eyes are black and shiny, and they look very lovely.
Among them, the boy is taller than the girl. Even though he is only six or seven years old, he looks very calm and impressive, like a little adult.
Such a young boy is already very handsome and has a graceful temperament. It will be even better when he grows up!
The little girl looks more cute, with two buns on her head.
There is a small lantern hanging on each of the two buns, with tassels hanging down. The big black eyes are as moist as grapes, and the little face is white and rosy, looking like an exquisite New Year painting doll.
When people passing by saw these two little dolls, they couldn't help but look at them a few more times and couldn't bear to look away.
At this time, after the little girl walked for a while, she suddenly stared twice at the old man selling candied haws in front of her.
She looked at the red candied haws on a stick, couldn't help but swallow her saliva, then looked at the boy beside her and said, "Brother, I want to eat candied haws on a stick, can you buy it for me?"
"Xing'er, mother said that eating too much sugar is bad for your teeth and will lead to tooth decay, so you can't eat candied haws." The boy said and patted the girl's head gently to show comfort.
The boy who spoke was Chu Nanfeng, the eldest son of Chu Xuanchen and Yun Ruoyue.
The cute little girl next to them is their little daughter Chu Tianxing.
As time goes by, both children have grown up and are a little more mature than before.
Hearing her brother's words, Xiao Xing'er lowered her head a little aggrievedly.
She opened her big black eyes and begged her brother, "Brother, I will just eat one bunch. If I don't eat more, I won't damage my teeth."
"But mother wants me to keep an eye on you and not let you eat these sweets anymore, because you have already eaten enough!" Xiao Nanfeng said hesitantly.
Xing'er hurriedly approached him, blinked her big eyes at him, and said coquettishly: "Brother, I'll just eat a small bunch! I eat so little, and if my mother knows about it, she won't be angry. Besides, brother, you treat me so well."
The best, you never refuse my request, right, my good brother?"
As she said that, she grabbed Xiao Nanfeng's hand and started acting coquettishly towards him.
Hearing her sister's soft voice and looking at her sweet look, Xiao Nanfeng's heart melted!
He had no choice but to pat her on the head lovingly and chuckle, "Okay! Then I'll buy it for you, but you can only eat one bunch!"
"Okay, thank you brother, you are so kind to me, hee hee." Little Xing'er raised her head and smiled cutely and brightly.
