After settling the matter in Heiyu, the group set off again.
After more than ten miles, we finally arrived at Liuhe River.
There was already a boat waiting here.
After boarding the boat, we transferred to Luanhe River via Panjiakou.
One day later, we arrived at Qian'an New District.
After disembarking, Zhu Youxiao and other five people still acted alone, while the large force was followed by Wang Chengen and Li Chaoqin respectively.
Qian'an was built entirely according to Zhu Youxiao's wishes.
He wanted to see a real Qian'an to test whether his transformation of this society was possible.
Going up from the pier, there was already a big car waiting there.
Wei Zhongxian first cordially invited Hakka to get on the bus, while Zhu Youxiao and Duan Ying rode horses and walked in the dark.
The group of people walked slowly towards Qian'an New Village.
When they got to the main road, Duan Ying exclaimed: "It's so beautiful."
He saw a straight road, about eight steps wide.
There is a ditch on both sides of the road, and willows are planted next to the ditch.
Now is the time when willows are growing best.
The emerald-like willow branches hang down, which is really beautiful.
Roads and canals are made of cement, which are smooth and solid.
The carriage is very comfortable to walk on.
Keshi said: "Brother, this is better than the road in the capital."
Zhu Youxiao smiled and said: "Don't worry, nanny, the capital will soon build such a road.
I want to build such roads all over the country."
Along the way, the houses on the roadside are all in good repair.
There is a fence in the field in front of the house, which separates it from the main road.
Behind the fence, there are chickens and ducks happily looking for grass seeds.
In front of a house, Zhu Youxiao dismounted and said, "Let's go and have a look."
The five people came to the fence.
Wei Zhongxian pushed open the small door on the fence and went in.
At this time, the owner also saw the visitor in front of the door and came out of the house to greet him.
She is a woman in her twenties.
Judging from her clothing, she seems to be from a better family.
The woman said: "Where are the guests coming from?
But if you want to take a rest in a humble house, there is sweet well water at home, which can relieve the fatigue of the journey."
Keshi said curiously: "The little lady speaks well, and there are scholars in the family."
The woman bowed and said, "My husband is a teacher at the school here.
When I was in Liaodong, I studied several books with my mother."
Everyone followed the woman into her home.
The house was a three-room tile-roofed house.
Although there were no painted beams or carved roofs, it was neatly tidied up.
When everyone entered the main room, the woman served tea, and Hakka quietly said to Zhu Youxiao: "There are tea leaves in her home, which shows that she is a well-to-do family."
Unexpectedly, the woman heard it and said with a smile: "In our new village, most people have tea.
The Han family in the new village can only be said to be an ordinary family, and it cannot be considered a wealthy family."
Keshi was surprised and said: "It's true that most people have tea in their homes.
I can't believe it."
The woman said: "As long as you are not too lazy, you can live a relatively prosperous life here in two years."
Zhu Youxiao asked: "Sister, if your family members are teachers from the school, then who cultivates your fields?"

The woman said: "My brother-in-law is seventeen years old, and he is basically responsible for the farm work at home."
Zhu Youxiao asked curiously: "Can I finish fifty acres of land at the age of seventeen?"
The woman said: "Yes.
We all use plow oxen or wooden oxen now.
It is easy for several people to cooperate to do spring plowing.
And during the busy farming season, there will be farmers with little land around to help with harvesting.
In fact, if there are no small farmers Uncle, my husband can also be busy, so this year my brother-in-law is going to join the army and want to gain a career."
Zhu Youxiao said: "Is there only three people in your family?"
The woman smiled and said, "There are two more children who are studying in school."
Keshi said curiously: "How old is the young lady, but the child is actually studying?"
The woman said: "Thank you for the compliment.
I am twenty-eight years old and the older child is nine years old."
Zhu Youxiao asked: "How do your cooperation work?"
The woman said: "There are twenty families in a large piece of land, and every five families form a cooperative group.
During the spring plowing, we decide together which family will do it first, and they take turns.
In fact, even if no outsiders come during the autumn harvest, everyone can do it.
Come here.
But now that everyone is better off, they are willing to pay for help.
Firstly, they don’t want outsiders to come here in vain, and secondly, they don’t want to tire themselves too much.”
Zhu Youxiao nodded: "Sister, if you don't feel presumptuous, I would like to ask how much your family's annual income is."
The woman smiled and said, "It's okay.
After paying the royal rations for a year, my family will have a balance of about forty yuan."
Zhu Youxiao said: "Is it after all the expenses have been removed?"
The woman said: "Of course.
Our family doesn't have much.
If we have more money, we can save a hundred yuan a year, and if we have less money, we can have twenty or thirty yuan."
Keshi praised: "I can't even think of such a good life.
When we were young, we worked hard for a year, but we could barely make ends meet.
If we don't bring about famine, it would be great."
The woman said: "Yes, the folks often say that the emperor is wise.
Compared with the Wanli years, life now is really like being in heaven."
Duan Ying quietly gave Zhu Youxiao a thumbs up.
Zhu Youxiao smiled proudly, but when he thought of the poor people he saw on the road, the pride in his heart quickly disappeared.
Zhu Youxiao said: "Can you take us to see your pigsty?"
The woman took them to the back of the house and saw two small thatched huts.
There were two pigs in one, and they began to howl when they saw people.
The woman said: "There are three sheep in the other room, which have been taken to the mountain by my uncle to graze.
There are also twenty chickens, ten ducks, and two geese.
Now we can receive eight or nine eggs and three or four eggs a day."
A duck egg.”
Zhu Youxiao asked: "Is there any farmer who doesn't raise pigs, sheep, chickens and ducks?"
The woman hesitated for a moment and said: "It's not that there are none, but very few.
Usually there is no wife at home.
How can a few men raise these little beasts?"
Zhu Youxiao thought, there is no reason why men can't raise pigs, sheep, chickens and ducks, maybe because they are lazy.

Everyone bid farewell to the woman and came to the road.
The woman tried her best to stay but failed, so she had to wave goodbye to them.
Before getting into the car, Keshi said: "Brother, you are such a good Empress Dowager.
The Queen Mother's spirit in heaven should be gratified.
I wish it could be like this everywhere."
Zhu Youxiao nodded and said: "Everything will be like this in the future."
Keshi nodded with satisfaction and got into the car.
Zhu Youxiao knew in his heart that it was impossible for the whole country to become like this.
Qian'an New Village was reclaimed from wasteland, and the real estate is clear, so it can be used by oneself.
However, most places in the country are owned lands, so it is not feasible to follow Qian'an's experience.
Of course, there is a solution, and that is land reform
