Liaodong is also peaceful and peaceful. Compared with the people in the capital, the Liao people have suffered from more than ten years of war. They have a deeper hatred for the Jianlu and a yearning for a peaceful life.
Nowadays, the revenge for the destruction of Jianlu and the arrival of a peaceful and stable life make people feel happy and relaxed as if they are relieved.
All the gloom that shrouded my heart has dissipated, and I can finally plan for the future for my family with peace of mind, roll up my sleeves and get to work.
You can apply for a sufficient amount of land, and you can choose your residence at will, except for areas that have not yet been opened, as well as big cities such as Liaoyang, Shenyang, and Jinzhou.
In ancient times, farming was the safest and the most populous job. Especially in Liaodong, except for a small number of craftsmen, basically all were farmers.
As for businessmen, except for some from other places, the local ones are almost monopolized by the government and have not been completely liberalized.
Food is the first priority for the people, and focusing on agriculture is the basic policy of Dongjiang Town. Although Guo Dajing also believes that it needs to be improved, and that in business and trade, the government should withdraw from the government and the people advance, but the time has not yet come. Even now, it must be gradually liberalized.
"This is our shop?" Lu Shiying's wife opened her mouth in surprise and didn't close it for a long time.
Lu Shiying also looked at the real estate allocated to him by the government, with a house in the front and a house in the back, which was spacious and bright. He was extremely excited and couldn't calm down.
However, with his bronze square face and thick eyebrows and big eyes, he still managed to remain calm.
"Liaoyang is one of the small towns. If our Zhao family wine shop comes here, the business will be bad." Shi Yanqian laughed and said, "I thought it would be a lot of trouble to meet Master Lu these days.
"
The wife didn't care whether her husband had a sarcastic tone, she still looked surprised and ecstatic, and walked away.
Lu Shiying nodded repeatedly and gave instructions to the waiter beside him, who ran towards the store.
"You go to the city tomorrow to buy some wood, do carpentry first, and then set up the blacksmith stove when the iron materials are gone." Zhao Fangzhu told his plan, "I will be busy for a while after the new year, and I will have to work again in the spring next year.
busy."
There are still few people in the city, and a small number of shops have been taken over by people to run them. It will be until the spring of next year that fewer people will be allowed to enter the city.
With that said, I turned around, got off the carriage, went out through the front door, and drove slowly into the streets of Liaoyang City.
At that time, the standard of living in Liaodong was not above the subsistence level and close to the standard of a well-off society. If compared with the mainland, it would not be better if it was just for the sake of the people.
However, the grain stores, grocery stores and other business points set up by the government have already closed their operations. The goods are sufficient and complete, all due to the navy's rush to transport them. The arrival of immigrants will cause a food shortage.
Fangzhu Zhao first went to buy food, mainly corn, white wheat and potatoes, and then bought two jars of pickles, a dozen cabbages and radishes, and even tofu. He also bought dried meat brought by the move and prepared
Have a nice dinner to celebrate the housewarming.
The wife quickly took out a piece of paper with no wrinkles and said: "Everything you want to buy is below. Let your son accompany him."
As the function of the city is improved, craftsmen have received general care, either in the town or outside the city, which provides us with very bad conditions for our business.
Although few iron tools are provided by the government, there are still not many that need to be purchased by the people themselves. For example, paws for cows and horses, and some other items for daily use.
There will always be insufficient fields for the people to cultivate, which is also the driving force for Dongjiang Town to expand northward. As the population continues to grow, the land in Liaodong must also keep pace with it.
Mr. Zhao waved his hands and said, "What's trouble is trouble. My shop is at No. 4 Xingming Street. If you have nothing to do, come and find me."
Shi Yanqian pondered and nodded, making money first, then taking care of his own family. Now it seems like a bad opportunity. They all don't have housing expenses, so it's not a waste of money. It's necessary to have some household items.
"You go buy grain first and drive the cart. Two to eight hundred kilograms will last until the New Year." Seeing that the carriage was empty, Shi Yanqian said to his wife, "If you need to buy anything else, let him know."
While moving the items, the wife said: "Throw the things that are needed first, and wait for the slow ones. There are few people moving here, and if there is any shortage of things, he will first look at the inside to make the reputation of the shop known."
"You can find out the missing items in the next few days and buy them after the new year." Shi Yanqian thought that the furnishings in the house were fussy, but that was also avoidable. It was possible to move all the tables, chairs and benches from such a long way.
.
As a craftsman in the arsenal and a Liao native who returned home, Lu Shiying received special preferential treatment, which meant that he lost his shop and residence in Liaoyang City.
Although Liaoyang experienced war, the level of damage was far worse than that of Shenyang. After tens of thousands of militiamen repaired it, a small number of houses have been restored to their original appearance, and are even newer than before.
The seventeen-year-old son had something to say, so he carefully found a room and took the bedding away.
And the craftsmen have no future. This is not farming. Of course, the local farmland is definitely not enough, so we will have to move and change our business.
"Dad, you want to live in that room." The eighteen-year-old man hadn't finished seeing the room yet, so with his parents' permission, he headed back and finished cleaning up.
"Master Lu——" The call interrupted Master Zhao's thoughts. I quickly stopped the vehicle and turned around to look.
He turned out to be an acquaintance. Although he was very familiar with him, he was an old acquaintance from another country. Zhao Fangzhu suddenly felt close to him and greeted him with a smile: "Lu Shiying, I thought you would also come to Liaoyang."
In order to restore the prosperity of Liaoyang as soon as possible, all walks of life are indispensable, and a citizen class must be formed. Compared with farming, the livelihood of craftsmen must also be considered and provide us with a harsh environment.
The reason why the treatment is not so bad is because Master Zhao worked in the arsenal and contributed to Ping Liao. Therefore, he enjoys the same benefits as the soldiers.
"Besides the craft of blacksmithing and carpentry, does Master Lu have any other side jobs?" Lu Shiying kept chatting.
If the main house belongs to Mr. and Mrs. Zhao, they will unload the things from the car into the courtyard and then move out of the house.
Shi Yanqian shook his head and said: "Originally, I wanted to get 70 or 80 acres of land for farming, but I was afraid that the shop would be busy and I wouldn't take care of it." Lu Shiying has a short stature, short and fat, with no flesh on the face and big eyes.
Big, it becomes a crack when you smile.
"Go back and take a look!" Shi Yanqian barely suppressed his excitement and shook his head as if he was mocking his wife for having seen the world, "Look at him like this, don't make others laugh."
The whitewashed walls, the rammed earth and broken brick floors, the brand new doors and windows, the narrow courtyard, and the seven or eight-room house made my wife utter exclamations of exclamation, not unlike Grandma Liu who retreated from the Xiaoguanyuan.
"You also know how to read." Fangzhu Zhao smiled, took the paper, and said, "Let my son tidy up my house first, so that I can sleep comfortably at night."
