Crossing the famine, I am a poor fish, and my descendants have to work hard

The housing requirement form for these people was given to the person in charge of the construction.

According to the number of houses they registered, we started building houses for them.

The order is based on the order of registration.

Each family has a yard, and they are built next to each other.

Zhao Yuanzhen asked those who purchased materials to record the cost of each family's construction materials, as well as the number of workers used and the working hours, because the money still had to be calculated after the house was built.

For those who settled down there, Zhao Yuanzhen provided each household with a bed and a large wardrobe, a table and stools. Everyone had one, and Zhao Yuanzhen would not favor one over another.

The vegetable garden has been tidied and the vegetable patches have been prepared.

The transport team brought all the rapeseed here.

First pick out all the plants that can be planted and plant them.

Chinese cabbage, radish, shallot, Chinese cabbage, spinach, leek, etc. A lot of each was planted.

In the vegetable garden, Zhao Yuanzhen also plans to use sea buckthorn trees as a protective wall. The protective forest with a circumference of 3000 acres is a bit long, but fortunately there are many workers.

She chose a time when the transport team would return, went outside the county town, bought the sea buckthorn trees, and asked the transport team to start transporting them to the vegetable garden.

The circumference of 3000 acres is more than 5700 meters. If there are 2 trees per meter, more than 1 trees need to be planted.

Zhao Yuanzhen put a lot of them, and the transport team has been delivering them continuously.

All 8000 farmers who were farming there started planting sea buckthorn trees.

With so many people involved, planting was quick and it was finished in 2 days.

There are no big rivers in Xiaoshan County, but there are plenty of spring water in the mountains, but they are a bit far away.

There are still many mountains and forests blocking the way, making it difficult to dig canals to divert water.

"System, is there any spring or rain-making charm?"

If you have any problem, you have to find the system.

"Replying to the host, there are springs that are connected to groundwater. They cost 4 points each. The amount of water depends on the groundwater reserves. If there is a long-term drought, the springs will dry up. There is also a permanent spring that can absorb groundwater and water molecules in the air. It will always have water and costs 15 points.

There are two types of rain-making talismans. One is a rain-making talisman that draws water when there are clouds on a cloudy day, and the other is a rain-making talisman that spreads clouds and then rains on a sunny day. These two types of talismans have different prices according to different rainfall amounts and rainfall ranges. The cheapest is a light rain talisman that costs 1 yuan for one hour and covers an area of ​​50 kilometers.

It actually exists, but the price is not cheap.

Zhao Yuanzhen chose the most common spring to irrigate the vegetable garden. When the drought gets so severe that there is no groundwater, nothing can be planted.

Zhao Yuanzhen bought four of this most common springs, one in each of the four directions: east, south, west and north.

He took a few people with him to dig a hole, and then put the spring down. After a while, water slowly seeped out, and then the flow gradually became larger, and finally turned into a spring.

There are many springs in Xiaoshan County, so although everyone was a little surprised, they could accept it.

We found a lot of large stone slabs and gravel and laid them around the spring to prevent the long-term flow of spring water from destroying the surrounding soil and causing collapse.

After choosing the right positions for the four springs, they began to dig canals to divert water to irrigate the planted sea buckthorn and vegetable fields.

Zhao Yuanzhen divided the 1000 acres of land near the north into an orchard, which he planted according to the planting model of orchards in Beijing. The spacing between rows in the orchard was wider, and some other low plant crops were planted in the middle.

The fruit trees are also planted according to the types of orchards in the capital, but the number has increased several times.

Zhao Yuanzhen continued to place various saplings outside the city, and the transport team continued to transport them, trip after trip.

It took four days to plant all the fruit trees. Irrigation started on the second day, and by the time the planting was completed, watering was almost complete.

Except for those who were maintaining the orchards, all of them went back to open up the wasteland.

As for crops, Zhao Yuanzhen plans to plant wheat and millet, as well as some beans and corn to feed poultry.

Yanshan is colder than Beijing. Spring comes late and autumn and winter come early, so basically only one season can be used for planting.

By early April, the reclamation team had finally completed the reclamation of all the wasteland. After tidying up the land, they could start planting.

1.3 acres in the south of the city are planted with wheat, and the area in the north of the city is relatively large, with 2.5 acres, of which 2 acres are planted with millet and 0.5 acres of various coarse grains.

The transport team brought back all kinds of seeds before farming.

These seeds are the best seeds selected by Zhao Yuanzhen. They have high yield, are resistant to lodging and are easy to care for.

A long section of the road to Yanshan Prefecture has been built. According to this progress, it should be completed before the Chinese New Year this year.

When Zhao Yuanzhen is not busy, she will ride on horseback to check the progress and supervise the work.

The cement roads built in the city have long been open to traffic.

The road surface is not only flat but also non-slip, unlike bluestone roads which are very slippery after rain.

People in Xiaoshan County walk on the smooth and flat cement road every day, and they finally feel that the imperial court is really working hard to rebuild this dilapidated county town that was destroyed by the Jin people.

After more than a month of construction, the staff dormitories were finally completed.

After delivering the seeds, the transport team also transported furniture for various staff dormitories, including beds, tables, chairs, benches, large wardrobes, shoe cabinets, daily necessities, etc.

Fortunately, the transport team had been transporting the materials when they were not busy before. Even so, all the materials were transported a few days after the dormitories were built.

As a row of dormitories is built, a row of furniture is installed.

Regarding the allocation of dormitories, Zhao Yuanzhen can form his own team based on the principle of voluntariness. The six people in the team can come to register, and the dormitories will be allocated in the order of registration.

Each person who has registered and been assigned can receive a set of various items, including clothes, shoes, socks, bedding, washbasins, toothbrushes, tooth powder, soap nuts, pillows, etc. Before, Zhao Yuanzhen was afraid that everyone was living outside and personal items would be lost, so she never distributed them.

Now that accommodation has been arranged, it will be distributed to everyone.

Everyone who went to register came back with a big bag of stuff, and happily went to their assigned dormitory to put their stuff away.

There were relatively few female personnel, so Zhao Yuanzhen assigned each of them to a room of four, and all the belongings were the same.

But she asked Lan Ying to bring the maids over and quietly told them about the sanitary napkins. They could come and buy them, at 2 cents each.

Each person was given 2 free trials. Zhao Yuanzhen really wanted to improve women's health issues.

By the beginning of May, the main construction was finally completed, and the only things left were some buildings that were not so urgent.

Zhao Yuanzhen began to plan to dig wells. He had previously dug a well in each canteen. Now this building estate is so large that he had to add more wells for convenience.

Zhao Yuanzhen looked at the map of the constructed base and drilled 12 more wells, which basically covered the entire construction site.

One group of people continued to build warehouses, storage cellars, etc., and another group of people built walls.

She wants to fence off the 628 acres of construction land, which will not only be safe but also easy to manage.

There are also plenty of materials, and the building materials that were previously dismantled can be used to build the wall.

The wall was built to a height of 3 meters.

There were four gates, three of which were front doors, located in front of each canteen, and a back door leading to the vegetable garden outside the city.

The plans have been allocated, and I can finally build my own little yard.

Zhao Yuanzhen chose the middle location, in front of Canteen 2.

She planned to build two courtyards, one for her daily residence and the other for government affairs.

The government affairs courtyard is in the shape of a quadrangle, and the main building is a two-story office building.

On the left and right are two large warehouses for daily necessities. Various supplies distributed on a daily basis are placed here, as well as trivial daily necessities, such as candles, kerosene lamps, lanterns, etc.

The guards live in the front gatehouse.

Zhao Yuanzhen also planned to build her small house into a courtyard, but she built it with a one-story structure.

She still lived in a courtyard modeled after those in the capital, with four rooms, two bedrooms and a living room.

On the left was a row of wing rooms for servants to live in, and on the right were four large bedrooms for possible family members who would arrive in the future. Then a warehouse was built next to the bedrooms. This was her private warehouse.

The servants' room on the left was home to Zhang Qingyan, Lan Ying, four maids and four servants.

Zhang Qingyan, Lan Ying and Zhao Yuanzhen were each assigned a single room, while the remaining four maids each had a single room, and the four servants each had a single room. These people were responsible for cleaning and taking care of Zhao Yuanzhen's room and yard.

Zhao Yuanzhen arranged the room according to her previous room. After all, she was more accustomed to that one, and she didn't want to think too much, so she just arranged it that way.

Lan Ying and Zhang Qingyan's rooms were also decorated according to Zhang Qingyan's previous room.

As for the rest, they were all furnished according to dormitory standards, the only difference being that their washrooms had toilets.

There is no canteen or cook, so everyone should eat in the canteen.

Zhao Yuanzhen customized three large plaques,

【Zhangjiazhuang】

From then on, their big family was called Zhangjiazhuang.

On the fifth day of May, during the Dragon Boat Festival, the cafeteria provided two free rice dumplings per person, one salty and one sweet.

After more than a month of running-in, the number of staff needed in the canteen has been basically determined.

Each canteen needs 30 cooks and 120 servants.

The cook brought 30 from home and bought 100 more later, so there are 40 left now.

The company had previously recruited 300 people, but that was not enough, so Zhao Yuanzhen recruited another 60.

Looking at the 40 idle cooks, we can finally consider the problem of the small window.

Then let’s open 40 special snack windows, with 13 or 14 windows in each cafeteria.

The selection of special snacks is also very particular.

First of all, the taste needs to be unique and not too ordinary, otherwise it would be worse than eating in a free cafeteria.

The price should be reasonable, the raw materials should be simple and not difficult to find, the preparation time should be fast, and the serving time should be fast.
