The World Becomes Famous Chapter 67: The New Look of the Star Sea
In summer, wildflowers of different colors bloom on the forest meadows. Bees are rushing to pick pollen, butterflies are dancing, and dragonflies also come to join this flower show. In the evening, thousands of rays of light reflect the oasis, forming an oasis.
A beautiful halo.
Dugu Xiaotian, Qiao Wanyun, Zhu Cuixian, Li Xiaoyue and others walked eastward from Datong and entered Liaodong territory seven days later. It was already midsummer, and the road was covered with flowers and green trees.
"Brother, over the past year or so, our beggar gang has gathered hundreds of thousands of young and strong men from the Northeast to build 200,000 'charity homes' within three to five hundred miles of Shen City. The money has not been spent yet. It is expected that this year
We can build another 100,000 units before the end of the year." Qiao Wanyun laughed loudly, pointing to more than 200 brand-new houses on the roadside, "These are charity houses, each with 200-300 units."
Dugu Xiaotian looked up and saw rows of orderly houses, each with three tile-roofed houses and two small courtyards, very similar to his residence in Xinghai Village.
"Are there any poor people living in it already?" Dugu Xiaotian asked happily.
"As soon as winter came last year, poor people began to be moved in one after another." Qiao Wanyun nodded, "The 'charity house' was built very promptly. The winter in the north is very cold. If there is no shelter, many poor people will freeze to death. We are in the cold winter
Before arriving, 100,000 charity houses were built to accommodate more than 500,000 homeless people in the northern winter. This move saved at least 200,000 to 300,000 people."
"Have the food and seeds from Yishe been distributed as well?" Dugu Xiaotian continued to ask.
"After the distribution, when the houses were built, 300 kilograms of grain and 50 kilograms of seeds were distributed to each charity house. Farming has already begun in the spring of this year." Qiao Wanyun pointed at the endless wheat fields next to the house and laughed.
"Brother Xiaotian, you are amazing. With you, the people in the Northeast will live a good life." Li Xiaoyue said sweetly, her eyes turning into crescents when she smiled.
Qiao Wanyun nodded, "Our Beggar Gang has also benefited from this. Many disciples of the 'Dirty Clothes' Gang have stopped begging, moved into charity houses and started farming. Even the poor beggars in the pass have come here."
here."
Zhu Cuixian's eyes shone. She grew up in a royal palace and had been well-dressed and well-fed since she was a child. She had never seen such a thing like building houses for poor people, and she just found it novel and interesting.
Dugu Xiaotian pondered for a while, "Will the government intervene?"
"No, brother, after you assassinated King Shen, all the corrupt officials near Shen City were in danger, and the court sent people down to investigate. How dare they interfere with our construction of the charity house." Qiao Wanyun said solemnly.
"If you are carrying out such a large-scale construction project, the imperial court must have known about it for a long time!" Zhu Cuixian smiled slightly, "The emperor is just pretending to be confused."
Li Xiaoyue pouted, "Of course they are pretending to be confused. Relieving the victims is what they should do. They refused to pay, so they watched secretly and asked Brother Xiaotian to spend money."
Zhu Cuixian nodded, "If it were me, I would do the same thing. Half of the treasure must have more than 20 million taels of silver to build houses to accommodate poor people. If the people of the Northeast are stable, they can become the 'granary' of the imperial court in the future."
, achieve multiple things with one stone, why not do it.”
"Brother Dugu, you don't care about these two million taels of silver at all?" Zhu Cuixian teased.
"Princess, I am alone, what do I need all this money for? I feel very happy to be able to help so many poor people, and nothing else matters." Dugu Xiaotian said calmly.
Qiao Wanyun laughed loudly when he heard this, "'Northern Immortal', before my adopted brother rose up two years ago, I knew that the five magical powers in the world were far apart! Now it seems that it is indeed the case."
Speaking of this, Qiao Wanyun couldn't help but feel proud when he thought that he had sworn sworn relationship with the 'Laughing Hero' two years ago and was now praised by the world and became a legend in the martial arts world.
"Gang Leader Qiao is so discerning! This junior is really ashamed of himself!" Zhu Cuixian blushed, cupped her fists and saluted. "I have offended many people in the past, so I still want to invite you two Haihan."
Qiao Wanyun waved his hand, "If we don't fight, we don't know each other, so this matter has been revealed. Please remember the promise made to my beggar gang by the Prince of Liao."
Zhu Cuixian said loudly: "The Liao Palace will definitely support the Beggar Gang and let the 'Yishe' take root in Changchun."
Dugu Xiaotian was extremely happy when he saw that Yishe had achieved initial results.
He pondered for a long time and said slowly: "The charity house has begun to take shape. There are three more things that need to be done later. Please do it immediately, brother."
"First, a charity village is established on hundreds of charity houses. The residents of the charity house elect nine people to manage the charity village to form a village committee to jointly handle the affairs of the charity village. The village owner can be elected by the village committee.
Out, elected every three years, remember to ensure that farmers have their own land, and the income is distributed according to the results of the labor of each household."
"Secondly, the Beggar Gang always places 30 martial arts disciples in each yizhuang, who are managed by the huanghui and are responsible for daily maintenance of the safety of the people in the yizhuang. In addition, in their spare time when they are not busy with farming, they teach the young and strong people in the yizhuang to practice martial arts in preparation for
It will be used to protect our country in the future."
"Third, establish a school in Yizhuang, organized by the Zhuanghui, and invite scholars from Shenyang Zhongwei to teach, so that the poor children in Yizhuang can read and write. Remember to let the children understand the principles of loyalty to the emperor, patriotism, and caring for the people from an early age.
.”
"Pa!" Qiao Wanyun clapped his hands, "I will immediately send my disciples to handle these three things that brother ordered. My brother is capable of bringing peace to the country with martial arts and able to govern the country with literary skills. He is truly a great talent in the world."
Zhu Cuixian's eyes were shining again and again. Her beautiful eyes looked at Dugu Xiaotian deeply, and she said softly: "How did Brother Dugu come up with this method of election for the village council?"
Dugu Xiaotian scratched the back of his head and said, "I was traveling in Mongolia and saw that their tribal election method was good, and it was quite useful for reference, so I came up with it."
Zhu Cuixian pondered for a long time and laughed. "Among the five magical powers in the world, a martial artist is really ridiculous."
Qiao Wanyun smiled slightly and winked at Zhu Cuixian and Li Xiaoyue, "Such a hero will have three wives and four concubines in the future. If you have any ideas, hurry up."
The two girls blushed when they heard this. Li Xiaoyue, who had always been unruly, wanted to refute a few words. She murmured for a moment, lowered her head slightly, said nothing, and did not dare to look at Dugu Xiaotian.
Dugu Xiaotian smiled bitterly in his heart. At that time, the princes, generals and ministers of the Ming Dynasty had more than twenty wives and concubines. Rich folk businessmen and martial arts magnates also had many wives and concubines. They often showed off their wives and concubines to prove their wealth and strength. Such is the folk custom.
The people are accustomed to it, and there is nothing they can do about it.
He coughed and changed the subject, "Brother Qiao, we will arrive at Shenyang Zhongwei in half a day. I will go straight to Xinghai Village and say goodbye."
Qiao Wanyun nodded, "If I have something to do from now on, I will go to Xinghai Village to look for you. Several charity houses have also been built in Xinghai Village, and their appearance is very different now. You can stop by and have a look." Dugu Xiaotian nodded in agreement.
At this time, Zhu Cuixian pursed her lips and said softly: "I want to go to the charity house near Xinghai Village to see the situation in detail so that we can vigorously promote it near Changchun in the future."
"Sister Zhu, please spend more time in Yishe to inspect, and come to Xinghai Village to sit more often!" Li Xiaoyue said with a half-smile but not a smile.
Zhu Cuixian was greatly embarrassed, lowered her head and said nothing, restless, and immediately returned to the car.
When Li Xiaoyue saw this, she smiled heartily and shouted, "Xinghai, we are back!"
