Chapter 21 Surrounding Villages

The hall is open in front and back, and two steps below the back door are the backyard. The backyard was originally a large yard. Tang Ning didn't like it, so he forced someone to divide two yards with a wall in the middle. On one side, two rows of opposite wing rooms were built, and on the other side were kitchen, bathroom, storage room, donkey shed, chicken pen and other large yards. There was also a small door for entry and exit. The two yards did not disturb each other, and it was still clean.

This structure is quite different from that in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is even more particular compared to the northwest. It is because they don’t have the foundation and are reluctant to spend money, otherwise they can still make some stone carvings and will definitely be up to the next level.

Ten houses occupy only one-quarter of the flat land here. The remaining land can be reclaimed and planted first, and it is also OK to build a house if there is not enough living in it later.

Of course, you have to communicate with the households first.

Although Huang Zhixing was in charge of these people's livelihood, he did not dare to make decisions on such a big deal and could only report it.

Du Bailiang refused after hearing this.

Huang Zhixing was stunned for a moment and said nervously: "Sir, there is no land in their land. If you don't let food grow, you will probably make trouble."

Du Bailiang shook his head, "You don't understand, they won't make trouble! I just want to see how they solve this situation."

"Uh..." Huang Zhixing was obviously speechless. He wanted to ask if this group of people was not covered by you? Why did he still laugh at others?

Unfortunately, he didn't dare to leave silently.

Tang Junsheng and others were very disappointed when they received the news, but they also knew that their request was a bit too much, so they could only expose it and not mention it.

After the house was built, it was sunny for several consecutive days. When the northwest wind blew and the sun shone, people would be able to live in immediately.

Tang Junsheng and Tang Zheng brought the dried wood to the open space and asked everyone for help. After a month, they even used all the tables, chairs, benches, beds and cabinets needed by each household, just to brush tung oil.

Tung oil is not cheap. Fortunately, Tangning used to buy tung oil and sell it to the system. Now he can buy a large amount of tung oil from the system, and the price is much cheaper than selling tung oil in the city.

She just went out for a casual walk and then pulled a cart of tung oil back.

With this thing, everyone worked harder and harder. It was not enough to brush all their furniture several times. Thinking of the humid climate here, I was afraid that the doors, windows, pillars, and house beams could not stand the tide, so I climbed up and down, and brushed them all. Tang Ning was stunned.

She just got some more tung oil back, as for it?

It started to rain after the lively oil-pumping event, and it did not delay everyone's work.

Jiang was happy and thought it was the blessing of the Land Lord. He discussed it with Li and the others and specially prepared a lot of fruit and snacks to the Land Temple at the exit to burn incense.

The Land Temple is actually just as tall as an adult. Because it is not big, all the materials are the best. At that time, the Land Temple was built before the Fenggu Village was built. On the 1st and 15th day of the lunar month, the Jiang family members must come to burn incense, regardless of wind and rain.

Today, the group came to burn incense and found several raw faces outside the Land Temple, and some tributes were placed on the stage.

Several people looked at each other, but they never stepped forward. They thought about waiting for them to go over to burn incense after they left. Unexpectedly, those people took the initiative to talk to them, "You are the people from Fenggu Village, are you?"

Although they were a little difficult to speak, Jiang and his friends understood it.

"That's right." Hong replied.

When a few people heard this, they also had a smile on their faces and said devoutly: "You have worshipped Master Tudi, and Master Tudi will definitely bless you in the future! We are from Daoyang Village next door, specializing in raising sheep, and the rice you grow is the best. If you need it, you can go to our village to change it, but you have agreed in advance that you will only be outside the village."

Jiang and the others listened blankly, nodding from beginning to end, and they only went to burn incense after the group of people left.

After going back, I told everyone about this.

Qiu Jingming immediately made a decision: "The shop outside the village should be able to start construction."

Tang Ning narrowed his eyes and chuckled with a sly look on his face, "It's time to start construction. Brother Qiu is going to bother you!"

"It's easy to say!" Qiu Jingming took over the matter directly.

The others couldn't understand the puzzle between the two of them, but they were very tactful and didn't ask, for fear of hurting their self-esteem.

The next day, Dazhuang and Tang Ning entered the city to prepare materials, and Tang Junsheng and others began to clean up the land outside the village, first removing the weeds at the entrance and exit, and then leveling the land.

These jobs alone took more than ten days, and when the construction was almost done, Qiu Jingming also brought the news back.

Everyone gathered at Tang Junsheng's home to discuss matters. Qiu Jingming said: "I walked along this official road and investigated. There were five villages closest to us. One was Daoyang Village, which my aunt mentioned. This village was in a valley and there was no shortage of cultivated land. However, they only started to grow rice in recent years, which seemed to be related to Prime Minister Ning. It was at that time that the village changed its name to Daoyang Village.

There is also a Qingshi Village. There is a jade mine in this village. They have no land like us. The villagers rely on this mine to live a prosperous life.

The remaining three seem to be that the villagers of the village are not Han people. They have their own beliefs and are relatively xenophobic. They don’t easily communicate with the outside world. I walked around those villages for a few times, but couldn’t find the entrance and exit.

In addition to these villages, there are some villages. In short, it should be fine if you open a shop here. You need to go around the streets in the early stage, and you don’t have to go out when you get familiar with each other.”

Tang Ning nodded slightly and pondered: "If this happens, we should build a few shops? Also, the people here are fierce. If you really open a shop, you must be in charge of the shop. There are also a few cousins, my mother and the others will definitely not be able to show up."

It’s easy to bully the Jiang family if you look at it. It’s definitely not possible to guard the shop, and it’s easy to cause trouble.

Jiang wanted to refute, but when he thought of the shrewd woman he had met before, he suddenly silenced and murmured: "At worst, we can take care of the kitchen, it's nothing!"

No one else has any objection.

Finally, after discussion, Tang Ning decided to build ten shops in ten houses, and enclose high walls at the entrance and exit of the house to make a heavy gate. In this way, it would take another few months, and the food they brought was almost over.

After a lot of thought, everyone had to separate a group of people to make a living.

Qiu Jingming and Tang Ning became the most important candidates, and they were not comparable to those of others in terms of mind or skills.

The two of them, who were responsible for the heavy responsibility, looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
