"new plan?"

"Basic point village?"

New topics are hotly circulated in every corner of the city, far better than the upcoming trade fair.

Before learning about this plan, the people living in the city were satisfied with their current life. Although they were also looking forward to the trade fair, it was only because it would bring different excitement to their stable lives. There are many shows, and maybe even a troupe coming from the Alliance, but otherwise, they don't have any pressing need for trade.

Because they have jobs and places to live, they never lack three meals a day, they can get rest and treatment when they are sick, and the city managers also give them clothes and shoes. People want what they want, and people don't care if it's clanking metal or just a piece of paper.

Even if the strict hygiene requirements and unrelenting education make the new arrivals very uncomfortable, this superior life is more than enough to offset any reluctance, not to mention that these mandatory requirements are entirely beneficial to them.As long as you are not mentally ill, no one hates living in a clean place, free from filth and mosquitoes.As for being able to read and write, it is a necessary skill to live in this city-at least you can know how much you can earn in a day.If you refuse to study hard, you will be left behind by your peers unknowingly. One day, you can't even understand their jokes, and you can only go back to work and class with those newcomers to the city.

If you fall into the step of "repeating a grade", no matter who you are, you will start to worry about whether you will be kicked out of the city if you still disappoint the instructor.

Nobody wants to be kicked out of the city, and while everyone has to work, the city's administrators work with them, and they assign jobs that they can do.There is no intentional abuse, those who perform well will be encouraged and rewarded, and those who work too slowly will not be insulted. The manager will find the reason through the conversation with the team leader and its members. In the worst case, the team will be broken up. Mix in with other teams.It's important -- arguably most important -- that they know what they're doing and why.

For the rulers of the city, for the Gentiles of faith, and for themselves.They lived in the houses they built, ate the vegetables they grew, and used the furniture they made. The fruits of their labor were not only enjoyed by themselves, but also shared with those who came to the city later.The former satisfies them, the latter makes them anxious.

Because many people know that this city does not need so many residents.

No matter how rich the Alliance may be, aid to the city should not be unlimited.People are not greedy enough to think that everything is what they deserve now. When the smartest people learned arithmetic, they calculated that the daily consumption of the current population is an extremely terrible figure. Although the supplies from the alliance never There is no shortage, and the pioneers work in an orderly manner. It seems that no situation can trouble them, but people have feelings. These people who call themselves "pioneers" are their saviors and protectors. They can see the pioneers Given the tremendous pressure they are under, it is hard not to regard the refugees who continue to enter the city as a heavy burden.

Among the more than [-] migrants, there are many old people and sick people. These people are a drag in other places, but they can be taken care of in this city; women and children are valuable, but children cannot be dispatched immediately. The pioneers have to send them to school; women work like men, but the pioneers pay them like men, and it is paid directly to them, not to their men, although After being encouraged by the pioneers, these women who were once docile as domestic animals are actually doing no worse jobs, but which newcomer to this city will not say a word of heresy when seeing this kind of demeanor?

But if it is not such a heresy, how can it surpass the common sense of ordinary people?

The pioneers tried their best to make everyone have something to do. Even if the sales of the products produced were limited and batch after batch were backlogged in the warehouse, they still paid according to the contract, but this should not last for a long time.So many people think that the fair is held to solve this problem, but they don't know how other areas that have been attacked by floods, droughts, and locust plagues one after another, but can't resist like this city, can do anything about furniture, Great demand for bricks and pottery.

It wasn't until this document, called the New Mahic City Agricultural Development Plan, was conveyed through urban management organizations at all levels, that those who cared about the future of the city saw a clear way out.

There are [-] base villages in the first batch of construction plans, and at least [-] new villagers will be relocated in each village. Referring to the suburban agricultural production team that just finished harvesting not long ago, these villagers should also be divided into several brigades. The brigade is divided into different squads and groups, and they work together to cultivate the large amount of land allocated to them.Because it is impossible for people to farm empty-handed, each village will allocate a certain number of agricultural tools and livestock. Not only that, in order to put into production in the shortest possible time, the steel monsters that once cultivated the suburban farms will also drive to the base village level the land for these new villagers, dig ditches, and help them open up wasteland.

With land, tools, and draft animals, there is also shelter, seeds, and enough food to last until autumn, which will no doubt be provided by the city for the new villagers who move in.Because their identities have been registered as urban residents, if there are children among the new villagers, the children can still receive education in the city, and the new villagers can travel freely between the city and the new village.And in order to ensure that the early stage construction of Jidian Village can proceed smoothly, there will be one or two pioneers stationed in each village.

Few doubt that the administrators of New Mahidol will be able to deliver on these promises.People start to care about the obligations that new villagers need to take on.

Recognize that the land is collectively owned—it would be easier to understand if you think of it as acknowledging that the land belongs to the pioneers; complete the production tasks, and sell a certain amount of grain every year—this is what it should be; Warn the city when necessary—this is what we should do; in the village, we must strictly abide by the laws and regulations like the city, and we must not lynch or abuse the weak. All important affairs must go through the village meeting, and we must not stand on our own—with the escort of pioneers, the problem It won't be too big either.

Basically, that's what they're supposed to do.

Not to mention the ignorant Caspers, even those who privately said that those who joined the city later should be driven to farm, could not help but waver after understanding these conditions.

The longing for the land is an instinct of the farmer—or anyone without property.Even though the pioneers gave people better survival guarantees than imagined, their desire for land was still indelible in their hearts, and the vegetable fields all over the city just rightly maintained their instinct.After paying the specified amount of food, the remaining products are distributed by themselves. People have reason to believe that the pioneers will not exploit them like the noble lords in the past. Compared with the relatively cramped living space in the city, the life that requires too much order also makes many People miss the relatively free field life.Affected by various emotions, many people have expressed great interest in the basic point village plan. It is foreseeable that the number of people who intend to participate in the new village construction plan will definitely exceed the required number.

Although compared with the basic point village plan, the treatment of the suburban production team is more attractive, but the quota for expanding the team is relatively too small, because the production team composed of farmers from the suburbs of the old Mahi City has already completed the work quite well. According to common sense, people believed that the new team would also be selected from the old Mahi City people for their tasks.

Everyone knows that the construction of both suburban farms and Jidian villages is to increase production.After a year of astonishing development, the actual jurisdiction of New Marsh City has already accounted for a quarter of the Buber Plain. If Orson County is also included in their control, then they occupy a tenth of the kingdom. the land of one.And they not only controlled the land, but also had a considerable population.They have both the ability and the need for large-scale agricultural production.

For a long time, the agricultural advantages of this land have been very prominent, until the continuous disasters this year have affected more than two-thirds of the grain-producing areas, and the shining river can be seen as long as you climb up the high ground, but the serfs and farmers I can only watch helplessly as the soil cracks and the crops are dying under the scorching sun.The high yielding crops brought by the pioneers have shown adaptability in this region, which is certainly something to be proud of, but without deep plowing, fertilizer from the alliance, and abundant water irrigation, would they have produced superior yields elsewhere? ?

No matter how incredible the achievements of the pioneers may seem to outsiders, their work is based on the rational use of natural laws.The new village plan is not enough to reclaim the land and move the villagers into the old village. In fact, as the name suggests, Jidian Village is the starting point of a series of overall projects.

The huge water conservancy network and road network will connect these basic villages, like the blood vessels extending from the city, not only transporting the blood of the city to the villages, but also absorbing the nutrients produced on the land to support itself. 500 people is the minimum population requirement for Jidian Village. When these villages develop to a certain extent and the construction of roads and water conservancy is perfected to a certain extent, if these villages are not differentiated into more new-style villages, or these villages are upgraded to towns, no longer Rely on pure agricultural production and development.

Either way, the future is exciting, but at least until the pioneers came to the land, no one imagined building any large water works on the plains, and even road works are ridiculous.The investment in these projects is too great, requiring countless manpower and material resources, as well as great power. Even with the power of a king, it may be difficult for the lords of all sizes scattered on this plain to give up their power to him. Part of the territory.

But as long as the pioneers propose these plans, almost no one doubts that they cannot be completed. Not only are the new residents of their city so determined, but even the three lords who live here have no doubts, because the city already has enough conditions , They are even more sure that the various cold receptions they have suffered here are the tests of the Bright Road. Just imagine a little bit, and their hearts are also warmed up for this great plan.Everything the pioneers do seems to be unreasonable. It is because people always use their own prejudices to distort their motives. Just let go of this unreasonable hatred and face up to the fact that there are indeed people in this world who are both powerful and noble. Everything is for the benefit of others and self, then everything becomes reasonable.

It is reasonable to take in the victims of the disaster, and it is reasonable to attack the nobles. To build water conservancy and build roads is a great cause that can only be achieved by true believers in God.

Then, as the nobles who expressed their allegiance to the pioneers first, their territories are at least more qualified to join this great project than other lords on the plain.

But for the world outside of New Mahy City, the trade fair is still the most important. The construction plan of the base point village is not among the city information that the pioneers deliberately leaked. Two intelligence channels, but the limited knowledge that came through these channels was not enough to allow them to grasp the essential changes in urban development, because many actions of the Gentiles were "incomprehensible" to many people, and they could not Understanding is the proof that they are not polluted by heresy. Once they "understand", it means that they are not far from being assimilated by this city.

It is not impossible for this kind of thing to happen, and even the spies don’t know if there are people around them who have secretly surrendered to the Gentiles, and in turn monitor their words and deeds.There is actually no conclusive evidence for this kind of speculation, but they don't need much conclusive evidence.

Because the city does have a haunted allure.Otherwise, so many people have stayed here for a long time, is it really just for the loyalty to the master?

These merchants and spies with limited loyalty sat in the hotel, walked in the fields, and watched the flow of people coming from all directions.They either traveled by car, or rode horses, or walked with only one pair of legs. The Gentiles set up various supply points on the roads in all directions just like they greeted the disaster victims, providing drinks and food for the tired travelers, and after registering their identities Provide them with an "instructions book".

Not to mention the preciousness of paper and printing in the outside world, this gift is indeed very helpful for people to know whether the fair can achieve their goals before arriving in the city. People hold this "instruction manual" like holding a treasure, no matter Whether they come with curiosity and exploration, or with desperate determination, or with malicious intentions, there is no other place where their humble or arrogant wishes can be realized except in this city built by the Gentiles.

In the understanding of many people, the trade fair is the first opening of the city of legends.People who came with various purposes saw the huge shadow falling on the horizon from far away. Before seeing the real face, they first encountered a large piece of cultivated land that had been deeply turned over. Most of the time, as long as visitors pass the straight road leading to the city, they can see those steel monsters making loud noises in the depths of the earth. Lines or groups of people work around them, but no one dares to go Take a closer look.They just slowed down and slowed down here, marveling at their capabilities over and over again, because people can see that the main force that has leveled the land to such an extent is not manpower, it is these panting, braving Smoke stuff.

The withered weeds in late autumn have been dug into the ground, and now the cultivated land is still bare, but just thinking about the seeds in the hands of the Gentiles, people can imagine what the power of this city will usher in after the next year's production season growth of.

Another point worth noting is that people found that these cultivated lands were not only huge in size, but also extremely regular in shape, and the ridges were as wide as roads—or the roads formed the field boundaries.This likely means that all of these lands are commons, and none of them are cultivated by individuals or families.

After passing through the large area of ​​cultivated land in the east of the city, people came to the resettlement area of ​​the city's disaster victims.Tens of thousands of displaced people live here, and this resettlement area is also known to people outside the city. Gentiles have performed miraculous feats in the past few months. Now, people come to use His own eyes witnessed the miracle.

After seeing those neat houses, flat roads, and the vigorous vegetable fields that surround the resettlement area and line the roads, most people can draw conclusions from the facts in front of them, thinking that those unfortunate victims are here Got a good placement.In fact, the living conditions in this resettlement area exceeded many people's imaginations. Some people even regarded this area as the main urban area of ​​New Mahi City at the beginning, saying that it was impossible for foreigners to build such a place in such a short period of time. Not bad, when his misunderstanding was corrected, very few people laughed at him.

Because the reason for this person's misunderstanding is not arrogance.

The area of ​​this resettlement area can almost be called vast. People who come to the trade fair must pass through its central axis to reach the venue. On the way, they can see the life of the people in the resettlement area.During the day, most people have to go out to work, and the resettlement area looks empty. The bustling is in the morning and evening, especially in the evening. People come back from the construction site in groups, like water pouring into a river. They talk and laugh loudly. Discussing the meals in the cafeteria and what happened at work today, both men and women have ruddy faces and strong hands and feet, it can be seen that they have received sufficient food here, and everyone is wearing a full set of long-sleeved clothes, regardless of gender There are shoes on the body, except for the marks of sweat and mud on the body, there is almost no appearance of a disaster victim.

When night comes, they light oil lamps in the houses in the resettlement area. Thousands of warm lights shine through the windows, shining on the lush vegetable gardens and playful children. The adults may rest in the house and do something. Crafting, or stepping out the door and chatting with neighbors who look downright carefree.If such a picture is not only unseen elsewhere, it is also unimaginable for those who have just arrived in this city. Then, when the leisurely rest is over, the calling bell rings in the sky, and people file out with oil lamps in their hands. When it merges into the mighty tide like swimming fish, and goes towards the island-like night school, the scene can be said to be shocking.

It was more visceral than any display of wealth, and the resulting uneasiness was further confirmed by the hospitality at the market lodge.These smiling, well-dressed young men said that they signed up to take the job in order to obtain the qualifications of new citizens. The longest seniority among them has been here for three months, in order to get the most "points" ", they will try their best to make every guest who comes here live comfortably.

Their frankness and cheerfulness are very contagious, and they don't mind telling guests about their past experiences, so many people are willing to make friends with them, but they have not forgotten their own duties because they are very popular in other respects, no matter Whether it is the tourists who live in the cheapest general store or the wealthy people who choose to live alone, they really feel the convenience of living here because of their services.Because they confessed their purpose at the beginning, it seems that they are very sincere in their care for the hotel guests, because even if they are careless, they are forced by the power of the Gentiles on the one hand, and on the other hand because of the abundance of food and wine. No one can say a bad word-at least most people are like this.

Exceptions do exist, of course, and it is generally believed that those people are out of extreme jealousy and will say that everything, including the market hotel where they live, is an illusion created by Gentiles to show off and deceive, but there is one thing that even they cannot do. What is denied is that the Gentiles did not use any magic to blind their five senses, and everything they saw was real.

"If you have to exchange souls for all this," they said bitterly, "what's the point?"

"Then why are you here?" someone asked.

"We are here to witness the devil's deal!" they shouted.

Not surprisingly, this sentence received many mocking or unkind looks, and then their reputation spread in the market hotel. Entertainers, almost no one else is willing to have too much contact with these noble people who think they are well disguised, and their attitude towards these well-tempered entertainers further increases the disgust of others.

Finally, on a certain night when the trade fair started, these nobles and monks were beaten up in the corridor. The more they yelled out their identities, the more painful they were beaten. Victims rushed into the hall to complain loudly, and they were met not with sympathy but with loud ridicule.Only the considerate and still hospitality helped the few guests who were physically and mentally injured to go back to rest. Because the pain blurred their minds and the lights were not too bright at night, even if someone accidentally found some abrasions on the joints of the receptionist, they rarely communicated with others. The nobles and monks who fought hand-to-hand would not think of going elsewhere, but blindly cursed the unfortunate fate and those who gloated.

"It's really unfortunate." The waiters said softly, "This is medicine, please have a good rest, tomorrow is another day."

Of course, this kind of small accident is just an exception, everything is done step by step, and nothing is outside the control of the top person in charge of Xinmaxi City.

And so the trade fair began.
