Chapter 61 Marriage (2)
Chapter 61 Getting married (2)
However, at this time, everyone on the third farm was gathered in the gravel drying ground. Everyone was talking. They would go to Wuzhai Fort to have a wedding banquet from Qianhu. What gifts should everyone give?
The gravel drying farm was very large. When Huang Laifu was building various farms, considering the future development of these farms, the construction of each farm was large-scale. He would rather leave a place in the farm than crowd it or become smaller. Moreover, there are certain plans for the construction of the farm. For example, the division of streets, the location of the well, the location of the temple stage, and the location of each household's courtyard are all considered.
Huang Laifu also considered that in the future, the family members of the garrison might be living in, so when the farms were repaired, many houses similar to the garrison were built. In each garrison, a small garrison was living in a small garrison, with about ten households, and the management staff in the inner garrison were the heads of the garrison. This posture was also easy to manage.
In addition, each farm also has warehouses, grain warehouses, livestock, grain drying yards, public bathhouses, public canteens, and public thatched cottages. The last courtyards, plus various public facilities, and fort walls, finally formed the entire farm.
According to the plan of the third farm of Wuzhaibao, it is divided into two large towns, one chief of the general town, one deputy chief of the deputy chief of the general town, and one supervisor. Each large town has one hundred people, one chief of the major town, and one deputy chief of the deputy chief of the major town. Each large town is divided into ten small towns, with one chief of the small town, and one chief of the small town. Of course, this is only the number of residents in the treasury, but now the residents of each town are bringing their own old and young people. The population of the third farm of Wuzhaibao is increasing. The residents of the treasury, plus the women, elderly and children in their families, there are more than one thousand people, and they look like a small town.
Of course. Compared with Wuzhai Fort, each farm, including the third farm, still looks a little rough. The appearance of Wuzhai Fort is brick and stone, with a bluestone street inside. All buildings in the fort look tall, there are many shops in the fort, and the business is prosperous. It is the perfect center around Wuzhai Fort.
The wall and fort gate of Wuzhaibao Farm, etc. are just rammed earth slabs. There are no bluestone streets in the farm, and they are all dirt roads. Most of the courtyard houses where everyone lives have earth walls and thatched roofs. Sometimes there are some small stalls and vendors on the main street of the soil, which are messy, and everything looks very messy.
But the Tunting people were very satisfied because here. They could have enough food and clothing and have a stable job. As Tunting people in Wuzhai Fort, whenever they went out, the households of the Tunting people in various places, as well as some refugees who fled to Wuzhai Fort to make a living. When they looked at them, they only had envy.
Whenever I see this kind of look, everyone can't help but stand up straight when walking. In this case, girls from all over the country are increasingly willing to marry into various farms of Wuzhai Fort. In the past, it is incredible. After all, if you have a military household registration in Wuzhai Fort, it is easy to find a meal, because compared with the rapid development of Wuzhai Fort, as long as you are willing to work, you will not have to worry about not being able to find work. With work, you can support your family.
Before we knew it, the saying of "iron rice bowl" by Huang Lai Fudi in everyone's hearts is becoming more and more popular. Thinking of his past life, he looked at the life of being inconvenient outside the fort, everyone cherishes his current days, for fear of making mistakes. He was driven out of the farm. Then his family and family will be over.
Of course, when the people of each village and their families lived in various farms in Wuzhaibao and lived there, they actually had some discomforts. The main reason was that the natural economic lifestyle of men farming and women weaving changed in the past.
There is no idle person in the various farms of Wuzhaibao. Every villager has to be organized to work every day. After all, the quota output of grain in each farm is there. If you do well and exceed the task, the entire farm will be rewarded. If you don’t do well, the entire farm will be punished, especially the chief of the township, supervisors and other managers, and the ideological pressure is even greater. Therefore, the work in the farm is usually very strict and no one can be lazy.
In addition to these resident people, their families also have work to do, including the elderly and women, either working in various large livestock farms, or working in farms. The canteens, hygiene and cleaning in various farms, all these work are required. The old men cannot do this, so these things are done by the elderly and women, even some children who can work are organized to work.
In this way, men, land and women, old and young, were organized to work and became factory workers in later generations. The so-called natural economic lifestyle of men farming and women weaving no longer exists.
At the beginning, this made people feel a little uncomfortable. Some families of refugees came over. The women, according to their previous family habits, said that we should stay at home to do laundry, cook, take care of children, serve men, raise chickens, or do some textiles and other things. It is not good for women to go out to do things at home. But soon, they and the men at home discovered that it is not cost-effective to stay at home like this.
Speaking of cooking, they found that there are large canteens opened by Wuzhaibao soldiers in each farm. They eat very cheaply every day and the variety of food is also very rich. If you want to eat, save some money, the family and the family spend a few cents, and you can eat rice and various vegetables. If you want to eat better, add a few cents, you will have fish. And after buying vegetables and cooking by yourself, after a month, you will spend no less than in the canteen. You are still tired. You can make a fire at home and cook, and it is also dirty.
Gradually, after more than a month of meals, they and their families became impatient and went to the cafeteria to have dinner together. This also formed a spectacular situation. Every morning, mid-night and evening meals, the cafeterias of each farm were crowded and bustling.
In addition, some merchants who were doing business in the farm and some passers-by also discovered the tricks. They ate in the canteens of the farm. The food was cheap and there were many varieties. Everyone rushed into the canteens of Wuzhaibao to buy food, which shocked the residents of each farm. It also caused discussions among everyone whether to restrict these merchants and households from eating in the canteens of the farm.
This is cooking. When it comes to textiles that women often do at home, first of all, you buy looms, cotton, etc., it costs a lot of money to buy silk, etc., which is one thing. And how many pieces of cloth can you weave a month? How much money can you sell after deducting the cost? It is better to go to a large animal farm to do things. So they have this idea, and they are told and persuaded by others, and quickly dispelled this idea.
As for raising chickens and ducks, in the large livestock farms of Wuzhaibao, there are many chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep, and they are fat and big, and they are quite cute. Who wants your thin chickens and ducks? After a year, not only can you make a lot of money, but you are still tired.
On the contrary, whether it is in the Wuzhai Fort, whether it is in the large animal farms, you can beat pigs and chickens, or do anything else. There are three dou of basic monthly grains, and if you do well, you will be rewarded. Moreover, the families of these resident servants do not have any problems in the Wuzhai Fort. Seeing that the military women were all surviving in the large animal farms, they did not see anything else.
The eyes of the common people are snow-eyed. After watching for a while, these refugee families joined the women's labor force. In this way, the so-called natural economic lifestyle of men farming and women weaving has long disappeared in Wuzhaibao.
Now, whether it is the military households in the fort or the garrisons in various farms outside the fort, they all have their own jobs, and they have gradually discovered it. As long as they have food and money in their hands, what they need, merchants and households will naturally come to their doors. As long as they have money, want to eat well, wear well, and play in good places. What is not there?
This concept quickly impacts the thoughts of the various residents and their families, and they summarize it to the end. It is the most important thing to do the work at hand now. Get more monthly grains and rewards are everything. As for washing and cooking at home, cooking and raising chickens and textiles, they are all indifferent and unprofitable. At present, as long as you work hard, you can get a generous reward. Therefore, everyone is extremely enthusiastic about the farm.
The military households of Wuzhai Fort and the garrisons of various farms did not produce anything other than food and animal husbandry. In this way, food, clothing, and use must be purchased from the outside. In view of this factual demand, a huge consumer group has also formed in Wuzhai Fort and various farms. Of course, due to the remaining small-scale farmers' thoughts of the original garrisons and their families, and they were afraid of being poor and hungry before, many were relatively saved. They could also get silver if they did not take monthly grains. Many of them still saved a large part of the food, and they were taken out for consumption.
However, even so, a large demand circulation market has been formed. After all, food and clothing are needed every day. Every day, the canteens of each farm have to buy a large number of grain, vegetables, meat, etc. to meet the meal needs of at least a thousand people in the farm. Here, a large number of merchants and households in various places are supported. There are also needlework, thread, cotton, salt, tea, wine, etc. needed by the residents and their families in each town, and they have to buy out the outside world. Here, many merchants are attracted.
In the third farm of Wuzhaibao, after the bumper harvest, more and more merchants and vendors have been squeezed into the past month. They are everywhere and manage everything the Tunding Ding and their families need.
For example, in the mainland canteen of Wuzhaibao Third Farm, a few months later, many people's consumption habits have become increasingly relaxed. Some people with rich wealth, such as the governors, are tired of eating in the canteens on the farm and want to change their tastes. They go to some merchants and family members of the farm to eat, such as small restaurants and small fried shops. There is even a restaurant in the farm. These restaurants and hotels have good business every day.
In addition to these foods, there are many vendors selling cloth, salt, tea, coal, alcohol, etc. Every time a market day, the surrounding households or merchants transport their goods here to sell. From the streets in the farm to the intersection outside the farm, there are crowds of vendors' stalls everywhere. The market day is once a few days, which is quite lively.
A few days ago, merchants found that their cloth, tea, wine, etc. were selling better, but in the past few days, because it was almost cold, the demand for coal in the farm was getting stronger and stronger.
In Wuzhaibao and various farms, coal is used for fuel. Huang Laifu was originally considering whether to build biogas tanks in various farms, but it is unrealistic to think about it. Because with the technological level of the Ming Dynasty at this time, it was difficult to solve the sealing and pipeline problems of biogas tanks. What should I do if I accidentally exploded? So it is better to use coal for fuel problems, which can also promote consumption and circulation with other places.
In fact, because the demand for coal carbon in Wuzhaibao is becoming increasingly strong, there have been many large merchants operating coal in Wuzhaibao. They bought coal carbon from Ningwu and Datong and transported it to Wuzhaibao for sale.
In Wuzhai Fort, Huang Laifu has a decisive authority. With one word, he can make someone prosperous, and with one word, he can make someone a family complete. Therefore, whether it is the military households living in the fort or the garrisons of the farms outside the fort, everyone pays great attention to Huang Laifu's actions, especially the garrison leaders of each farm, who care more about Lord Huang Laifu's views on himself.
Under Huang Laifu's system design, both ordinary garrisons and garrison leaders in Wuzhaibao's farms could not have any other will. All the power of the farm is in the hands of Huang Laifu. If everyone wants to maintain their current status and treatment, they must do everything according to Huang Laifu's wishes and pay close attention to Huang Laifu's view of himself.
In the past, most of these village leaders were military households in Wuzhai Fort. They had never lived such good days before, but they were like this. Once they lived a good life and had to return to their previous life, no one could stand it. Thinking of the past life of poor food and clothing, and looking at the current rich food and clothing, eating well, and dressing well, and having a large group of people under their jurisdiction... If you lose it, think about it, everyone is shuddering.
According to Huang Laifu, the Qianhu Lord, today is his happy event, so on a day off in the entire Wuzhai Fort, no matter which farm the garrison and their families can enter the fort to have a wedding wine. So today, everyone dare not neglect the happy day for the Qianhu Lord. Ordinary garrison and their families are fine, but they are just grateful and blessings, while the garrison leaders have too many ideas.
At this time, the chief garrison of the third farm, deputy chief garrison of the third farm, and the supervisor stood together and discussed in a low voice. After entering Wuzhai Fort later, everyone should give gifts and say what words should they say.
Ordinary resident and his family members were also standing in the east and west, and everyone was discussing enthusiastically. Of course, the adults were discussing things, while some children were carefree, holding some firecrackers and running around and having fun on the gravel field.
