"Huaiyu is back … Changsheng, your father is back."
Wei Jingxian got up from the table. Feng Jin took the opportunity to take Changsheng who was leaning towards him.
This girl was very alert and had a good memory. The last time Feng Jin came back was five days ago. This child was very clingy.
Feng Jin said, "I just went to see the house that my lord gave me. It's not bad."
"I heard the servants mention it. It's said that even the road in that area is paved with green bricks."
How could the people of today have seen something like green bricks?
When the road was first built, there were even people who stole the green bricks on the ground in the middle of the night. Jiang Pengji was almost angry.
Later, she caught a few of them and punished them severely.
"It's the same in our house. It looks very clean. It's much easier for the servants to clean."
Feng Jin teased Changsheng. She grabbed his finger and wanted to stuff it into her mouth.
Unfortunately, she was young and did not have teeth. It did not hurt even after biting for a long time. Feng Jin only felt that his finger was itchy.
"Tomorrow, get the servants to clean up the new house. First, tidy up the inner courtyard. It's really unfair for you and Changsheng to live here. "
Feng Jin sighed and took his finger out of his daughter's mouth. Changsheng was very unhappy. She shouted at him as if she was angry.
Tsk, she was young but had a bad temper. She wanted to scratch him because of a disagreement.
Wei Jingxian said with a big heart, "What's there to be upset about?"
The place they lived in now was a few times smaller than the courtyard she had before she got married, but she did not feel aggrieved.
The current Xiangyang District was basically a different place every day. Wei Jingxian looked at its changes and actually felt proud of it. "0↑ 9 △ Xiao ↓ Shuo △ Net"
Her husband played a part in the development of this place. Of course, she was proud.
At the beginning of the reconstruction, everything was chaotic. There was almost no rules. Now that it had been a month, everyone was used to this change.
The planned wide roads were also moved to the construction schedule. At present, it was beginning to take shape.
Jiang Pengji, as the district magistrate, issued a few new government decrees.
However, these decrees were somewhat amusing to the ordinary people.
The first decree was to keep to the right when walking on the street.
The second decree was not to spit or urinate anywhere.
The third decree was to not go on the street shirtless regardless of whether it was winter or summer. It was a disgrace.
…
Apart from these trivial matters, there were also some very strict laws.
Illegal organizations without official permission were not allowed to buy or sell human beings. If they violated the law, they would be banished and their properties confiscated.
Regardless of whether it was a man or a woman, having sex with an outsider during the term of marriage would be treated as a felony.
…
There were dozens of them, and the number was increasing every day. At first, the people were still trembling with fear, but after a long time, they calmed down.
In any case, it wasn't a tyranny. This district magistrate was doing quite well, much better than the previous one.
However, there was one law that made many old people feel uncomfortable.
[Relatives and elders are not allowed to decide the life and death of the younger generation at will. They will be punished as murder.]
Jiang Pengji was criticized by many people for being a busybody. They secretly said that she was a busybody.
It was purely a coincidence that this law was written.
About twenty days ago, Xiangyang district was still in a state of chaos. Jiang Pengji only slept for an hour for seven to eight days in a row. She was so tired that she felt like she was floating. When she was patrolling outside the city, she saved a crazy young woman who was hugging a pillow and jumping into the water.
She decisively went into the water and saved her. After asking for the reason, she was so angry that her mind was clear.
It turned out that three years before the woman married into her husband's family, she gave birth to three daughters in a row.
Strangely, all three daughters died before they were even a month old.
At first, she thought that she was unlucky and couldn't keep her children. Later, she accidentally discovered that the children were secretly killed by her mother-in-law. The reason was also very absurd. It was because the mother-in-law didn't want a granddaughter who lost money. She spoke righteously. If it was a grandson, how could she bear to kill them?
The fengshui of the scoundrel woman's belly was not good. She couldn't even give birth to a child.
The woman was anxious and reported her mother-in-law. However, the district magistrate didn't convict her mother-in-law. Instead, he said that the woman was unfilial and beat her.
Since then, the woman's mind was in a mess. She became crazy and told everyone she met that her mother-in-law killed her three granddaughters.
More than ten months ago, the husband got the widow next door pregnant and she gave birth to a boy.
Her mother-in-law ordered her husband to divorce the woman and make her give up her position as the legal wife. Otherwise, she would be demoted to a concubine!
When the viewers in the streaming room heard this, they reacted fiercely. They wanted to crawl over and slap the mother-in-law to death.
If the old woman was so capable, why didn't she just go to heaven!
Jiang Pengji's mentality was about to explode. She went back and added two more.
One was that adulterers would receive a heavier sentence. The other was that it was also considered murder if a relative killed someone of the same bloodline.
The woman hadn't separated from the man yet. She was still the man's legal wife. If the man got the widow pregnant, it was considered rape. The mother-in-law had personally admitted to killing her three granddaughters. The district headquarters still had the records. It was considered murder.
She didn't care about the commotion outside. She directly ordered people to arrest the strange mother and son and sentence them accordingly.
Interestingly, this matter attracted the condemnation of the rotten scholars. Jiang Pengji sneered and asked them to get out of her territory.
If they were thick-skinned and refused to leave?
That was fine. When the house was built, they would never rent it to this family.
During the farming season, the district headquarters didn't lend them oxen and farming tools. They made their whole family starve!
They were so willful. If they weren't convinced, they could fight!
Therefore, the rotten scholars who were prepared to scold her shut up.
The construction of the entire Xiangyang district was on the right track. It changed every day. The people felt that the air was fresh, the roads were wide and tidy, and the houses were as beautiful as if they were carved out of a mold. They didn't have the right to live in the luxurious area around the district headquarters, but they could use the newly registered residence to apply to rent a new house. Every family longed for it. Even the local people who owned houses were envious.
They had no choice but to be envious. The newly built houses made their old houses look even worse than the mud.
In front of the houses were neat and clean green bricks. In front of their houses were mud puddles. When it rained, the difference was even greater.
Although their houses weren't destroyed in the earthquake, they were dilapidated. How could they look better than the new houses?
The inside and outside of the new house were neatly paved with green bricks.
In such a thriving environment, there were only two places that were so busy that they wanted to vomit blood.
One was the registration department where Qiguan Rang worked. The other was Handsome Li, who was in charge of reclaiming the wasteland.
After a month, his originally wheat-colored skin had become two shades darker, and he looked even more resolute. He had lost some of the elegance of a pretty boy, but more of a mature man's steadiness and spirit. Of course, he also gave off the feeling of an uncle farmer.
Jiang Pengji thought he would quit after a few days. She didn't expect him to be so engrossed in farming that he couldn't extricate himself. Not only that, Liyun also showed great interest in Jiang Pengji's improved farming tools. He had the urge to change his profession and become a farmer instead of fighting wars.
The well-behaved child even forgot when he had started calling Jiang Pengji "lord."
Anyway, Jiang Pengji had inexplicably become his lord.
Carrying a hoe, he entered the city barefooted. Liyun was about to ask for a cup of tea in a teahouse when something floated in front of his eyes.
"Coach Meng." Liyun smiled, revealing a set of shining white teeth that could even reflect light under the sun. "What is this?"
Meng Hun said, "The house, the lord gave it to you."
That day, when there was a meeting to reward the house, Liyun was still outside the city with a group of youngsters to reclaim the wasteland and research on fertilizer.
Liyun was stunned. He asked dumbly, "House?"
Meng Hun was strangely silent.
He also had an honest personality, but he wasn't as naive as Liyun.
He saw how his lord bullied Liyun.
