In early autumn, the weather is still very hot, and today's air is rarely filled with a hint of turbulence.
A dark cloud covered the sky above my head.
In the afternoon, Jiang Long stood in the farmland with a straw hat, holding a bamboo basket in his hand, bent down to pick the fruits. There was a row of green and red peppers placed in the bamboo basket, and he felt happy.
Because Jiang Long didn't want others to help, Tu Du and others stood on the ridge of the field.
Planting, sprinkling seeds, and then picking fruits by yourself is a pleasure.
There are still few seeds of chili peppers, so Jianglong does not pick many fresh chili peppers every day. Although Tudu and others also like to eat spicy food, Jianglong saves money and plans to let more chili grow until they mature and then bear fruit.
A batch of more new seeds.
Next year, you can eat more than a few acres of chili peppers.
If you really wait next year, you will not only plant peppers, but now everything will be smooth in the river excavation project. By then, a large number of farmland can be cultivated and planted. In addition, potatoes and sweet potatoes have been found, and a large number of grain output will definitely be produced next autumn.
In this era, the yield of wheat and rice is very low, so the price is very expensive.
The yield per mu of coarse grains such as sorghum is relatively high, but compared with the potatoes and sweet potatoes with a minimum yield of thousands of kilograms per mu, it is far from the difference.
Even if there is only a small part of wasteland to be planted next year, you can still get a good harvest.
After picking off a few more watery peppers, Jiang Long stopped and walked out of the farmland.
Qin Yu immediately stepped forward and reached out to take the bamboo basket.
Jiang Long patted his hands gently, brushed away the dust from his clothes, and led everyone to the county government.
The farmland is outside the city, passing through the East City Gate, and at the foot is the newly built spacious avenue.
This avenue is one of the main streets of Lingtong County. It is ten feet wide and is paved with cement roads. Every day, yamen runners take prisoners to clean them carefully. In the eyes of the people, the cement roads are too smooth and beautiful.
There are only a few wealthy families in the county who have laid cement in their rooms and yards.
Before paving the concrete, the foundation below was compacted.
In this era, there were no engineering cars that would always make dusty every day, nor were there heavy cars.
The heaviest vehicles are nothing more than ox carts and horse carriages loaded with carriages, with a few more people sitting on them.
So if nothing unexpected happens, it should be fine to use this road for forty or fifty years.
Many people have raised objections to the construction of this street to be ten feet wide. There were only four widest streets in Lingtong County, reaching the center of the county from the city gate, and they were only three feet wide, and even if it was
There are not many streets in the capital that can be so wide.
It was Jiang Long who surpassed the public and built so spaciously.
At first, many people shook their heads, but as Lingtong County's population gradually increased, the caravans coming and going also increased significantly. These people understood that Jianglong had the foresight.
If you still only make three feet wide, it will be too crowded.
Moreover, once a caravan enters the city, it will definitely cause congestion, which will be very troublesome and inconvenient.
It’s not that Lingtong County is even more crowded than the capital, but that Lingtong County is too small.
As neighboring counties also posted lists, Lingtong County's population has grown, resulting in a very dense population.
Xiao Fan carefully counted that the total number of local residents and migrant population in the city is as large as 130,000.
In addition, the population of nearby towns under the jurisdiction of Lingtong County has exceeded 150,000!
In the past, there were only so many people in Wangsha City.
In Wangsha City, because many people came to dig rivers, the population has dropped sharply by more than 30,000.
In comparison, although Wangsha City is still much more prosperous than Lingtong County, Lingtong County is in a stage of development and business is becoming increasingly prosperous. As long as Jianglong still invests a lot of money, I believe that it will not take long to make its economic and military status.
You can surpass Wangsha City.
Now, the residential houses in Dongcheng and Nancheng in Lingtong County have been renovated. At this moment, walking on the wide and flat streets of Nancheng, the streets have been cleaned up. On both sides are brand new brick houses, which makes people feel refreshed.
In the heart of the dragon, there was also a stream of pride.
He personally coordinated these things and did them for the people of Lingtong County!
Every time he walks into the East and South City, he feels very accomplished.
Now Xicheng and Beicheng have officially begun to be renovated. The area of Xicheng has expanded and Beicheng has been reduced. Moreover, the houses renovated in Xicheng are relatively luxurious. In addition to the area of each residence is three times larger than that of ordinary residential houses, the houses will also be built into a second floor.
building.
There are rich people in every place, ordinary families, and poor families.
The rich must live in big houses, but they are just ordinary houses, and they don’t like them.
So in the future, Xicheng will be a place where wealthy and powerful families in Lingtong County will settle down.
The area of the North City has been reduced, but after reconstruction, it will be the place with the largest number of people and the most diverse population.
Because Jianglong plans to build a building here, all three floors. If you want to build a higher level, your technology is somewhat unpreparable, but it is a very small apartment. This is a place for the poor to live in. Those with rich can buy it directly.
.
Those who have no money only need to pay a small amount of rent to move in.
It’s the same as Jiang Long’s low-rent housing in his previous life.
This is actually to take care of and attract poor people who have no money. First, they paid rent and lived there temporarily. After gradually discovering that Lingtong County has a strong development potential. They can save some money while digging rivers and then they can buy a set in Beicheng.
The apartment is settled.
There are still some technical problems in building buildings that have not been solved, so Beicheng is just demolishing, leveling the ground, and laying the foundation.
The dark clouds in the sky fell a lot, making the sky darker.
Jiang Long was walking, suddenly his face became cold, but a few drops of raindrops fell.
The vendors on both sides of the street immediately closed the stalls, and pedestrians rushed towards their homes.
Before I took a few steps, a few whispers and laughter came from my ears.
"The county magistrate is really good. The streets built now are clean and beautiful. Unlike before, it is raining, so the roads must be muddy and difficult to walk."
"Yes, I was most worried about rain in the past."
"My old house has no money to repair, and the roof is leaking. Now I have moved into my spacious and bright new home, so I don't have to worry about rain anymore."
"Your house is fine, it's just a leak, and my old house is about to collapse. I thought the county government would not give me a house, but it was really too dilapidated, but I didn't want to have it in my hand.
If the land deed or house deed takes over my land, the county government will give you a new house in a unified manner.”
"Not only on the street, aren't there red bricks in front of our door?"
"Yes, you don't have to step on the mud all over the house all the way."
"It's okay for adults. When it rains, children like to play outside. They always get covered in mud. It's very troublesome to wash. Now they have no place to play with mud."
"It's convenient to draw water now, and it's a sweet water well, and the salt water well has been covered by the yamen runners with heavy stone slabs."
"I have eaten salt water for decades since I was a child."
"Well, I'm the same, it's better for sweet water well."
"Old Zhang family, how did you tell you last time?"
"This, I'll make up with that hole when I go back." The voice was hushed.
When the person left, the person who asked the question snorted coldly, "Didn't you just move into a new house? It seems that your identity has suddenly become higher. In the past, the child was grown up, and he was frowning all day long. Now,
I've got it done!"
"I don't know when the shops on both sides will be built."
"I heard that the plenary session has built a building."
"Well, the building is beautiful."
The policies implemented by the county government are closely related to the lives of the people, and the influence changes every aspect.
Jiang Long and others had just returned to the county government office. The heavy rain was pouring down on their heads. The heavy rain hit the ground and splashed the old high, making a loud noise.
"This rain is good. Autumn is the time for crops to grout. With this rain, the fruits should grow very full." Jiang Long was in a very good mood. He looked up at the sky and saw that the sky was much darker again.
It is speculated that the rain should be heavy.
Tudu and others smiled and agreed.
The northern border is almost entirely based on the weather, and you can get a good harvest by the weather.
But if it doesn’t rain or drought, you have to tighten your belt and live.
Even if you dig wild vegetables every day and drink wild vegetable porridge, you will only get half full.
When he walked into the lobby of the county government, Cheng Ze, He Bu, Xiao Fan, Zhou Shi, Wang Gui, and the teacher Pan Wenchang were discussing the matter.
Seeing Jiang Long coming in, everyone stood up to greet him.
In the past two months, the court has been paying salaries on time, without any harsh deductions, and no horse bandit dared to rob the salary and supplies of Lingtong County again. Therefore, Zhou Shi and other former officials are living happily now.
They also knew that all this was because Jiang Long was there.
So I am very respectful to Jiang Long.
At least on the surface.
Zhou Shi and others had asked Jiang Long for help before, asking them to chase the money they had deducted in the past, but Jiang Long did not take it seriously.
Those old accounts are complicated and involve a lot.
Who knows which official was greedy and put it into his pocket?
If he makes a name for himself, he will definitely offend many officials.
So it's just a false response on the surface.
As for when the money can be collected, it is unknown.
Zhou Shi and others also spoke out because of Jiang Long's identity and a good background.
However, even if Jiang Long didn't take it seriously, they dared not complain or be satisfied at all, because in addition to the salary of the court, they also have the subsidy money distributed by Jiang Long. If they want to do big things, they don't have a certain number of people under their command.
.
And it’s not OK to have someone to do, but it doesn’t help.
Now there are a lot of things assigned to Zhou Shi and others, and they are very busy every day.
If they can't get some hard work fees, they will definitely complain.
A day of leisure is just to perform official duties and get the money.
But I was so busy and exhausted that I didn’t have time to eat, but I also took the money.
How can it be the same?
Jiang Long is not the young man who is not familiar with worldly feelings and is very skilled in dealing with things.
"What are you discussing?" Jiang Long walked straight to the main seat and sat down, asking with a smile.
Since Jiang Long took office, the very low-key teacher Pan Wenchang was a little excited today and even spoke eagerly.
After hearing this, Jiang Long expressed his opinion without rushing to express his opinion. He picked up the teacup and took a sip.
