Traveling back to ancient times begins with the use of stone tools

The news of the army's upcoming layoffs and Beihuang New City's recruitment policy spread among the soldiers at work, and many soldiers began to consider their own retreat.

It is rare to gain great military merit in the Northern Wilderness border area. Should I go home and be a farmer?

Where is not to do.

"Princess, I heard that the land rent is calculated based on the number of people in the family. If my family has 15 people, does that mean I have 150 acres of land?"

During a break from work, a soldier was pushed by everyone to Leng Ruoxue.

"Yes"

"But there are only five strong laborers in my family. Can we grow all the crops? Can you lend us that big machine?"

Many people in the military camp have seen the huge tillage machine.

"You are not suitable for such a large machine. There are small machines specially for people like you who don't have much land."

The first thing Leng Ruoxue thought of was the electric tiller.

The main considerations in choosing the location of a new city are water and electricity, followed by transportation.

It just so happens that we have both water and electricity, so the electric tiller can still be used.

If water and electricity are not available, it is also possible to use large machines to help plow the land. The main thing is that Leng Ruoxue plans to turn these villages into cash crops.

These people are mainly responsible for precision planting.

Leng Ruoxue planned to make the cotton cloth herself in Beihuang.

The manual loom was converted into a machine.

The news from Prince Qing disrupted Leng Ruoxue's plan, and the spinning loom was also put on the agenda.

It may not be possible this year, but next year, Beihuang can achieve self-sufficiency in food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Leng Ruoxue quietly made plans for Beihuang.

"Moreover, not all of your family members have to farm. Beihuang New City is also planning to open factories. Various factories need people to work, and the income from working can be on par with the income from farming."

"Well...if several of us comrades want to be in the same village, is that possible?"

The soldier thought about his relatives and friends. If they were in the same village, they could help each other.

"Register early so you can choose your own place. If you sign up late, it will be difficult to arrange."

"Okay, okay, I'll go talk to them."

The soldier blushed and walked away quickly, not knowing whether he was shy or excited.

Almost every day someone comes to ask Leng Ruoxue, and Leng Ruoxue never tires of explaining to everyone.

The houses in the village are better built than many of the soldiers’ own houses in the villages where they serve, especially those villages that do not yet have electricity and running water.

The new city has not been fully built yet, but the four planned villages are already full.

The soldiers who helped with the construction also experienced in advance a means of transportation called a train.

It is said that every seven days, there will be a free train to take everyone from the village to the new city.

It seems that although the village is a bit far from the new city, the transportation is still very convenient.

It is spring again. The villages around the new city are planting crops, and the previously developed fields are planted with sweet potato, cotton and fruit trees.

The people who bought the land were busy taking care of sweet stalks, cotton, and fruit trees. These previously developed fields were all in remote areas, without maps, and generally could not be found.

During the slack season, the products are processed in factories and then transported to the new city and sold to people who need them. The excess is transported to other counties for sale.

Judging from the accounts, Beihuang’s grain income is the same as in previous years.

Leng Ruoxue always maintained this tax payment amount.

In fact, the output from the fields outside was quietly saved.

She finally understood that it was not enough to just give her all.

She needed her own strength, both in terms of people and property.

Lengjia Village.

"Grandma, don't be reluctant. The houses over there are much bigger than here. If we go there, the brothers can each have their own yard, and they are all next to each other."

A man was persuading a woman.

"This house is not for sale, it's just rented out. Our family, young and old, have been living here for several years. If you want to have a great-grandson, go to Beihuang New City and wait for him."

In Lengjia Village, everyone rents out half of the house and lives in the other half themselves. With the increase in population, it has become very inconvenient.

In the past, when we didn’t have the conditions, we thought that having enough to eat and wear warm clothes was enough. Now that we have enough to eat and wear warm clothes, we want to live in a good place.

The land of Lengjia Village is so small that it is no longer possible to build more houses. The earliest group of people who went to Beihuang have already bought new houses in Beihuang New City and moved their families there.

"I'm an old woman. I can still sell tea here. What can I do over there?"

The old woman was still reluctant to leave, so she set up a tea stall in Lengjia Village. Although she didn't care how much she would earn, she could earn enough for her own food.

"Grandma, if you go earlier, you can sell tea there. If you go too late, there will be no more jobs selling tea."

"I heard that there is a big market every seven days. You can rest on weekdays, or you can take jobs making clothes and shoes. You can do as much as you want. It's the same. You sisters can bask in the sun and sew soles. Isn't it better than here? I feel annoyed when I see so many people and it's so crowded now."

"The house over there is so spacious, and the clothes and things to use are cheaper than here."

The man's words made the old woman feel relieved.

"If I don't like it there, can I come back?"

"Of course, we can rent out the houses here. If you don't want to rent them out, just tell the village in advance and they will take the houses back. With the rent here alone, we can have enough food and clothing in Beihuang New City even if we don't do any work."

The women and children in the family couldn't wait any longer, but the old man was the only one who couldn't let go.

"I'm an old man, and I'm your village chief. I'm not worried, so why are you worried?"

The village chief walked around the village many times. He was reluctant to leave, but he knew that the chances were greater in the Northern Wilderness. He had been back and forth many times, and when he heard people persuading the old lady, he couldn't help but interjected.

"Ruoxue said that when the train is available in the future, it won't be so hard to go there and come back. You can just get on the train, sleep for two days, and you'll be there."

"Village head, don't be ridiculous. What kind of car can you sleep on without getting off? If you want to go to the toilet, can you still do it in the car?"

Several elderly people who were also reluctant to leave also gathered together and were happy to hear the village chief's words.

"Yes, if Ruoxue says yes, then yes. Could you imagine three people planting a thousand acres of land before?"

"That's true. Anyway, I've never been out of Qingyuan County in my life. I'll just go out and take a look. Even if I close my eyes, my life won't be in vain."

"That's right. Besides, when we get there, we're all neighbors. It's just the same as before."

"I wanted to go out and see the world before, but I was hungry and had no money. Now that I have money, I can't bear to leave."

"Ha ha!"

"Ha ha!"

"Okay, go back and pack your things. Don't set out tomorrow. You'll be a drag. It's not cheap to hire an escort. Ruoxue has also sent guards to protect you."

The village chief asked everyone to disperse and went home to see if there was anything that had not been arranged. He also had to explain to the people who stayed in the village and told them to remember to telegram him if there was anything.
