Chapter 234 Xanadu

Yu Ren nodded, "You are right. However, I have thought about these issues. I have already taken a fancy to a piece of land, just outside Songjiang Prefecture, close to Chongming Island. It is close to the sea outlet, which is convenient for connecting with our island. Moreover, that piece of land is a wasteland, and few people have been cultivated. We can buy it. As for the money, you don't have to worry about it, it's all up to me.

We can buy two thousand hectares first. The land deed of that wasteland is currently in the hands of a rich man from Songjiang Prefecture. I went to see it a while ago. There was a small river there connecting Songjiang. However, due to the age of time, many rivers have accumulated. After we buy this land, we can arrange personnel to first drain the river and then build a few drainage canals. In this way, this place will immediately become two thousand hectares of high-quality fertile land.

This place is a place that provides food and accommodation for one or two thousand farmers, and it is absolutely no problem. Let’s take the test first in this place. As for the army, we will temporarily organize a 100-person farm guard team in the village. We will work in the busy farming and practice in our spare time. These team members are all drawn from the children of the village and give them five stones from the public grain every year. If there is something to do, don’t add them.

We will share these fields with everyone for free and temporarily place them in 20 acres. If we have fewer people, we can also take refugees out. When the refugees come, we will treat them the same and the fields will be distributed to them for free. But one thing is that this land is not for them, but for them to plant, and a grain tax of 30% is paid every year. One percent is public grain, one percent is reserved for our village expenses, and one percent is stored by the village's unified granary warehouse to prepare for the famine.

We need to build a school in the village to provide free of charge to children of appropriate age, regardless of boys and girls; we need to build a clinic in the village to give free medical treatment to people in the village.

Please remember: this village is just a small experimental place for us. If we do well, a large number of people from all over the world will come to us. At that time, we can build more such villages around us. The more villages we build, the stronger our strength will be.

The stronger our strength, the less we are, the less we are afraid of the court's suppression of us. These points are all connected. When our Juhe Village is spread across the north and south of the Ming Dynasty, it will be not far from the era of great harmony in the world.

Everyone, what do you think about me?"

As soon as Yu Ren finished speaking, Liang Ruming wanted to raise objections, but more than a dozen young people had already cheered each other. They stood up impatiently and asked Yu Ren when the village could be ready.

Yu Ren smiled, "At this moment, it's just an idea in my mind. This idea was only born after discussing with your sect leader the day before yesterday. I haven't had time to discuss it with your sect leader yet..."

"No need to discuss it. I think this method is very good. With a village guard team, if the corrupt officials in the court want to make things difficult for arbitrarily, it will not work. We will pay the food on time, and there is no reason for them to make things difficult for us anymore. Mr. He didn't expect to set up a village guard team back then! Otherwise, he would have been arrested so easily by a small magistrate."

Liang Ruming saw that the brothers around him were all excited by Yu Ren and all turned to Yu Ren's camp. He knew that no one would agree to him supporting the rebellion of the Wenxiang Sect. So he shook his sleeves and left the venue angrily. Yu Ren glanced at him and said nothing.

Liang Ruji walked back to the stage and said to the brothers in the audience, "Brothers and sisters. What was the purpose of our Juhemen when it was founded?"

"It's a family that comes from the beginning, no matter how rich or poor, no matter how high or low." Everyone below said loudly.

"In my opinion, we should change this today. How to change it! It is changed to a family member who enters a village, and there is no distinction between wealth and poverty and superiority. In the past, we always adhered to one principle, that is, we cannot get started unless we are from Jiangxi. However, can we still return to Jiangxi and the Juhetang of that year? We can never do it again.

However, now Mr. Yu has re-planned a Juhetang for us. Although it is not in Jiangxi, it is a better place than our Juhetang back then. If we call it Juhe Village, please ask Mr. Yu to be our first village chief. What do you think?"

"good……"

"We'll go to Songjiang tomorrow."

There was a burst of joy immediately sounded from the audience. Almost all the descendants of the children raised by Juhetang in the He Xinyin era back then. Their fathers or ancestors experienced that unprecedented change, like Liang Ruji's father.

In their hearts, those twelve years were a dream, a dream that they could never forget in their entire lives. For this dream, they ran all their lives and worked hard all their lives, but they did not succeed. Therefore, this dream was later passed on to their descendants.

These disciples of Juhe who had been exploring their dreams for two or three generations, after listening to the blueprint of the village designed by Yu Ren, suddenly felt that they and their parents and ancestors were pursuing their dreams for life were suddenly brought to their eyes. They could even clearly imagine the appearance of that village.

What a paradise that is! It is far more realistic than Tao Yuanming's paradise.

So, without waiting for Liang Ruji's orders, many people had already taken back to their residence, started to pick up their luggage, and prepared to go to Songjiang.

Yu Ren knew that this would not work. It was easy for them to do such a reckless action. So he quickly wrote a letter and chose a leader among them, asking him to take the letter to Songjiang to find Li Ying first, and asked him to buy the land first. Then he warned others that they would not enter the city after they arrived in Songjiang. Because so many of them suddenly rushed into Songshan City, it would inevitably attract the attention of others and it would also easily attract the attention of the government.

This will inevitably bring unnecessary trouble. Therefore, Yu Ren made a detailed plan for them after thinking about it.

In the letter to Li Ying, Yu Ren asked her to send someone to build some temporary straw sheds on the beach outside the wasteland and arrange for personnel to stay there. Whenever there is a Juhemen, she will arrange to live there first. All the food and food items will be provided by their brothers on Chongming Island.

After arranging all this, it was already dark. Liang Ruji was worried that Yu Ren would stay here for a few more days, so he sent someone to the inn to bring a message to the coachman and asked him to wait for a few more days.

That night, Yu Ren, Liang Ruji and several important figures from Juhemen gathered together to discuss the Juhe Village they were about to build again. After discussing with Yu Ren, everyone felt the vision and extraordinaryness of their new leader.

This also made them more confident in the future of Juhe Village.

After a night of deep conversation, the people at the gathering party became more confident. After a night of excitement, they began to organize the southward events in an orderly manner.

Since most of the people who came to the meeting were important disciples of Juhemen scattered all over the place, there were actually only Liang Ruji and his two nephews in the village.

So, the next day, people walked away cleanly. The bustling Liang family courtyard suddenly returned to peace.

Seeing that the matter was almost arranged, Yu Ren made an agreement with Liang Ruji to see Songjiang goodbye and prepare to go back to the inn.

At this time, a servant hurriedly ran in from outside.

"Master, Master Xu is here."

Liang Ruji nodded, a little surprised. He had expected Xu Hongru to come, but he didn't expect him to come so quickly.

"Okay, go and invite him in!" Liang Ruji said, winking behind him. Two girls of fifteen or sixteen suddenly flashed behind the screen, which scared Yu Ren. These two girls had seen them in the group of disciples who gathered in the backyard yesterday. Because these two were twin sisters and were very cute, he couldn't help but take a look at them. He thought they were leaving together like everyone else, but he didn't expect them to leave.

As soon as the two girls arrived, they pulled Yu Ren and Zhao Rui to the backyard one by one.

"you……"

Yu Ren was confused and was about to ask, the girl who was responsible for pulling him quickly stretched out her hand and covered his mouth.

Yu Ren and Zhao Rui were taken to a small study next to them by no means. A girl reached out to push a bookshelf in the study hard, and a door immediately appeared behind the bookshelf.
