Traveling through time and encountering war, I took the whole village to escape famine

Chapter 283 Xiangyun Village General Assembly 4

Yunhe showed the villagers some drawings that Yunduo had just given him, and then said, "The most important thing for our village now is the farmland, and the second is building houses. Let me show you what Duoer drew last night... Oh! That's right, it's called a house design."

After saying that, Yunhe gave several identical drawings to the people in front of him and asked everyone to pass them around. Yunhe was shocked when he first saw the drawings.

The new house in Xiangyun Village is located on the road east of the original village road.

This time the new village is planned very neatly, with houses arranged in neat rows.

However, in the very middle of the village, a large circular area was drawn out, which serves as a public activity place in the village. There is an ancestral hall built here, and in the middle is a flat square paved with bluestone slabs, which can also be used by villagers to dry grain.

There are stone tables and stone benches around the edge, where villagers can sit around and chat and drink tea. People who live nearby can also bring their food here to eat and gossip.

This public area also divides the village into five front rows and five back rows, and each row can have three to seven courtyards depending on the population. There is a special house in the southeast corner and the northeast corner, and no one knows what it is used for.

A protective wall made of stones and blue bricks is built around the entire village to prevent wolves and water from flowing down from the mountains into the village.

There are drainage ditches on both sides of each road in the village. There are poplars and elms not far from the road to provide shade.

The house is designed according to the structure of a modern rural courtyard house. The blue brick and tile house has clear functional divisions and a reasonable layout, and there are special places for storing grain and feeding livestock.

The villagers passed the blueprints around and exclaimed in amazement. "This house looks really good, but how much will it cost to build it? We're afraid..." The villagers' eyes lit up when they saw the blueprints, but then dimmed again.

Yunhe waited until everyone had finished looking at the house before he spoke again: "Duo'er said that this house was designed based on the annual area of ​​the homesteads given to each family by the court. If someone wants to use their own money to occupy more area, they can increase it on this basis."

At this time, several people in the crowd raised their hands: "Village Chief, this house is indeed good, but we don't have that much money to buy materials."

Yunhe smiled and said, "My daughter Duo has also thought of this. There is a lot of stone materials that can be used in the mountain behind our village. We also have wood on the mountain. We just need to spend some money to buy some bricks and tiles. We can focus on improving the farmland first, and after the harvest, we will have money to buy bricks and tiles."

Except for the original villagers of Cuijiaao, everyone else nodded after hearing this, their faces full of hope, as if they had already seen brand new houses standing in the village.

The original villagers of Yunjia Village had one hundred taels of silver given by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as a settlement fee, so they could still afford to build blue brick and tile houses. Chu Liang, Lin Hao and others who came with Yunjia Village had some family background, so they didn't feel too embarrassed.

The Cui family members had a hard time. They had relied on the small amount of food and silver they got from the bandit camps to get here. To build such a nice courtyard, the subsidies from the court alone were not enough. They didn't know whether they could make any money after the autumn harvest. They sighed and hung their heads.

Yun Duo understood the difficulties faced by the Cui clan members by looking at their expressions, so he walked up to the podium and continued, "Your Highness gave each household in our Yunjia Village 100 taels of resettlement money before. Since everyone is now a member of Xiangyun Village, you cannot be partial to one and ignore another. You will all get what you didn't get, and the old soldier grandfather is also counted as one household.

Since it is resettlement money, let's use it to build houses! Each household can decide the size of their house, but it must be a blue brick and tile house.

However, I still suggest that every household take advantage of this collective house-building opportunity to build a house that is large enough for the family to live in in the future. The cost of collective house-building will be cheaper than building it by yourself in the future. If you want to build a few more houses and don’t have enough money, my family can lend it to you first.

Since we are building a new village, the houses cannot be too shabby, so as to avoid being criticized by those with ulterior motives.

My family will first provide the money for the construction of the ancestral hall, square, school, and village roads, and will pay it back when the village factory is profitable."

When everyone heard the word "factory", they were so excited that they didn't even bother to raise their hands and asked loudly:

"We are going to build a school in our village? Where is it?"

"Miss Yun, what is a village factory?"

"Yeah, girl, where do we have a factory?"

“Fellow villagers, please look at the southeast and northeast directions of this map.

Southeast corner: This relatively large open space circled out will be the location of the future school. This row of houses are dormitories, and this open space is the school’s playground, a place for students to exercise and play.

Northeast corner: There is a piece of open space reserved here, which will be used to build our Xiangyun Village workshop in the future! However, we will not go into details about the specific situation of this workshop for now, and will discuss it in detail later.

When the time is right, we will adopt the method of collective fundraising by all villagers to make this happen so that every villager can participate in it personally.

Moreover, after the workshop is built, the villagers can go to work in the workshop, and then our Xiangyun Village will be divided into two layers of shares. At that time, the Xiangyun Village collective will have money.

Of course, these are all things of the past. Our top priority right now is to tidy up the fields first!

Only in this way can subsequent work such as building houses be carried out smoothly.

In short, the main reason why I am telling you all this today is to let everyone have a clear understanding of the future development plan of our Xiangyun Village.

Please feel free to relax. I believe that it won’t be long before every household in Xiangyun Village will live a better and better life.

By then, there will be fragrant white rice, soft and delicious steamed buns made of fine flour on the table every day, and delicious meat every now and then.

The little kids at home, whether boys or girls, can go to the library to learn how to read. "

The cloud painted a big pie for everyone, and everyone's face was filled with satisfied smiles.

"Miss Yun, then we will all live like gods from now on."

"Don't worry, Duo'er girl. Your uncles will work hard to make the good days you promised come true soon."

Yun Duo looked at the excited people in the audience and continued with a smile: "Don't worry, grandparents, uncles and aunts, such a day will come soon."

She looked at the veterans who had been silent all this time: "Grandpa veterans, I have something else I want to discuss with you."
