Chapter 505: Daming New Countryside

"Third brother, are you sure this is a house built for the common people?"

At the suggestion of the prince Zhu Changluo, a group of people, led by Hu Dacheng, had just arrived at the settlement that was 'matched' with the previous fields. The 'dandy' Li Chengming couldn't help but screamed in surprise.

.

No way, the houses in the residential area in front of him completely broke his previous impression of the dirty and messy houses where ordinary people lived.

"Haha, if the houses are not built for the common people, are they built for the government?"

Looking at the residential area in front of him, which consists of more than a hundred neatly arranged small courtyards, Wang Bing couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction.

That's right, the houses in this residential area that surprised even Li Chengming, the Marquis, are all composed of separate small courtyards. And the reason why this residential area is built like this is naturally because Wang Bing has seen it.

The traversers of the New Countryside deserve credit.

It turned out that after the distribution was completed, Wang Bing had someone send Wu Mo this reference sketch that was modeled on the "new countryside" of later generations in original history.

However, what he didn't expect was that Wu Mo didn't bother to make any reference at all, but just copied it.

"Third brother, isn't this too extravagant? Not to mention the 30 acres of land, it's just a small courtyard for one family, and we have to kill the people who have moved here!"

Different from Wang Bing's natural behavior, Li Chengming, the Marquis, was surprised and couldn't help but feel envious.

"I said Cheng Ming, where did you see this luxury? Didn't you see that the house and the courtyard walls are all made of adobe, and even the roof is thatched? Or is it that your Wu Qingbo Mansion uses thatched roof, haha

Ha ha!"

Seeing Li Chengming's unfamiliar face, Wang Bing couldn't help but tease him.

"What's wrong with the earthen walls and thatch? This is a small courtyard for each family! How many of the ordinary people in the mainland can have such a good house? You would never think of replacing this house with a brick house for them.

Bar?"

"Don't tell me, if we weren't short of manpower now, I would really like to open a kiln to bake bricks and replace these houses with blue brick houses! Anyway, His Majesty gave us thirty million taels of silver, and the prince is not short of money.

, right?”

Hearing Li Chengming's retort, Wang Bing turned to look at Zhu Changluo.

"Taifu, although my father gave me 30 million taels of silver, it was given in five years. And now this place doesn't have anything, and everything needs money..."

He is worthy of being the 'evil dragon' of the future. When it comes to money, like the little fat man, Zhu Changluo's 'greedy and stingy' nature is immediately revealed.

"Why don't you learn to be more generous like your mother? Back then, your mother spent all the wedding gift money... just like your father, who is stingy by nature!"

Seeing the "evil dragon" in the future and the little fat man's "iron cock", Wang Bing couldn't help but be speechless. It's easy to understand that this damn little fat man is stingy, but he is afraid of being poor. You have such a cute mouth

Why is a guy who was born with a silver spoon so stingy?

"Master, how can I be called stingy? I am called diligent and frugal housekeeper. If I have to use it wisely, I will save where I can. And if we prepare the best for these people, then it is not forced.

Do you think they are lazy? If they want to live in a brick house with big tiles, they have to make their own money..."

Well, to be able to find such a high-sounding reason for his stinginess in such a short period of time can be considered a bit of a quick wit on his part.

"Mr. Marquis, your highness is right. If everything is prepared for them, it will breed their laziness. Your highness has prepared such fertile land for the people. As long as they are a little more diligent, they will be able to achieve success."

It couldn't be easier to replace this adobe house with a brick one!"

Just when Wang Bing was speechless because of the stinginess of the 'little evil dragon', Hu Dacheng on the side also spoke up and stood up for Zhu Changluo.

"Haha, that's all I said. If we really want to build brick houses for them, we won't have enough time. Come on, let's go inside and see how it's going!"



"Hey, third brother, why are the windows in these houses only so big? With such a small window, isn't it dark inside even during the day?"

After randomly choosing a small courtyard and pushing the door in, Li Chengming couldn't help but look puzzled when he looked at the narrow, wide windows on the walls of the three thatched houses arranged in a 'pin' shape.

"Don't even think about it. In this place where the water turns to ice in the winter, wouldn't you be asking for trouble by opening a big window?"

Although he was not a northerner in his last life, thanks to the Internet, Wang Bing also knew that almost all the 'old houses' in the Northeast had narrow windows like this, naturally for keeping warm. As for the light, haha, that's right.

It's nothing compared to the cold.

Afterwards, several people opened several rooms and looked around, but except for the stove and the kang, there was nothing in the entire room, which only provided the most basic protection against the cold.

"Prince, everything else is fine. Let's buy a few of these pots, pans and farm tools for each family. They won't cost much anyway. These people left their hometowns and moved all the way here to run the fiefdom for you. You, Prince

No matter what, I have to give people some greeting gifts, right?"

Looking at the empty room, Wang Bing couldn't help but start fighting for welfare for these immigrants.

"Well, let's do as the master said. Each household will buy a large and small iron pot, a set of bowls and chopsticks, and three hoes!"

To Wang Bing's relief, the 'little evil dragon' agreed to Wang Bing's request after just a moment's consideration. After all, these things combined only cost about three yuan per household, and five million immigrants combined.

It's just over a million taels of silver.

But if you can use more than a million taels of silver to make the immigrants feel at ease, and sincerely support the imperial court's immigration policy, and protect and run this place for the imperial court, you will definitely make money no matter what!

At this point, Wang Bing has arranged everything he can think of, from fertile fields to neat and clean houses, to basic daily necessities, and is just waiting for immigrants to move in next year.

Although the conditions are not as generous as those of immigrants in later generations, in this era, these immigrants have unprecedented benefits.

After all, this is the 'feudal era', and it is actually quite good for an official to be able to do this for the people.

"By the way, Mr. Hu, we have been here for so long, why haven't we seen Mr. Wu and the others?"
Chapter completed!
