At this time, more than 120,000 civilians returned to Tianjin, but Tianjin is not a city dominated by agriculture. Therefore, only half of the farmers are returning to Tianjin, while the other half is stored by Tianjin City and surrounding areas.

Although a large number of houses were destroyed in Tianjin and surrounding areas during the invasion of the Eight-Nation Alliance, quite a few unmanned houses were still preserved, so the city's residents basically accommodated them, and there were a considerable number of empty houses, which could accommodate about 100,000 people.

In rural areas, a considerable number of people are homeless. The Travel Group has prepared a large number of tents to accommodate homeless farmers. At this time, about 15,000 people have been accommodated, divided into six temporary residences. The Travel Group provides them with food, but they are asked to help build a new countryside and work for relief. These farmers are also willing to help, because Li Songchen has announced that the houses built are provided for them to live in. When housing is allocated in the future, it will be directly linked to everyone's work. Everyone's workload is recorded and open and transparent. After the house is built, housing can be allocated according to the amount of workload.

Of course, the most priority is the new army soldiers in the allocation of housing. However, if they are single soldiers, they are arranged to live in the military camp. The army will be responsible for arranging their housing in the future. In the future, they will most likely settle in the city instead of the rural areas. For new army soldiers with family members, the army will try their best to advise them, it is best to wait for the army to arrange them to settle in the city in the future, and the army can arrange work for their relatives, but they also respect the soldiers' personal choices. If someone insists on settling in the countryside, the army will not be strong, and they can also give priority to it.

Most of the first batch of people who signed up for the army were single and had no relatives, because they were all alone, and they died on the battlefield and could still make a living in the army. In addition, there were not many soldiers with family members, only one or two people, and one person could support the whole family.

Most of these new soldiers followed the army's advice and prepared to follow the army's arrangements. On the one hand, this is because the time traveling through the soldiers was in place. On the other hand, although these soldiers did not join the army for a long time, they could clearly feel that this army was completely different from the Qing army. Not only did the officers not hold a lie, they never blamed the soldiers, and they did not have any harsh food and salary. Even when fighting, officers rushed to the front and taught the soldiers to read and read. , and taught them many principles that they had never heard before, knowing that they joined the army to fight, not to earn a share of food and wages, to support their families, but also to protect their families and homes. Therefore, although the soldiers did not know that the ultimate goal of this group of overseas Chinese was to replace them with the Qing court, they also vaguely felt that following this group of overseas Chinese would have a bright future. Some people with certain knowledge would even think that this group of overseas Chinese were re-taking the path of the rise of the Hunan Army and the Huai Army.

In the end, there were less than 300 new soldiers who decided to choose housing in rural areas. The first batch of built rural areas could be fully accommodated. At the same time, this group of people could also be used to set up a model of military families in the new countryside, thereby attracting more farmers to join the army.

However, not all the farmers who returned to Tianjin were with family members. Although most of the singles chose to join the army, a considerable number of them remained in the countryside. In addition, there were many families with only two or three. If only two or three people lived in such a large house, it would be too few, and it would be useless. After all, there are many people and few houses now, and more farmers will return one after another in the future.

So Li Songchen discussed and decided with his team that only families with more than five people can be allocated a house separately, while families with less than five people must buy houses with others, reaching more than five people to be allocated a house, so as to ensure that the houses are fully utilized. Of course, when all the houses are built in the future, they can be redistributed.

After lunch, Tang Songlin took a few people to another nearby village to survey the geology and prepare to avoid the new construction site. According to the current progress, within about ten days, two new villages can be roughly completed, and the remaining projects are only for installation of doors and windows, paving roads, and reserved pipe cover plates. These projects only require leaving a small number of people, and others can be transferred to the next construction site to work. From the perspective of arranging the flow construction, this is also a very reasonable arrangement.

Tang Songlin has been working in solitary engineering for a lifetime and has been engaged in management for more than 20 years. Of course, he knows how to arrange flow construction, so he has to consider the next construction site now. Moreover, in the next few days, some construction equipment, building materials, etc. will be transferred to new construction sites.

After Tang Songlin left, Li Songchen also left the office and went to another construction site for inspection. Although Li Songchen was not an engineering technician, he would take some time every day, sometimes in the morning and sometimes in the afternoon, to inspect various construction sites to understand the construction progress of each construction site and solve problems that occur during coordinated construction. After all, you cannot just sit in the office to listen to reports, you must go to the site to understand it yourself.

In addition, various problems will also be encountered during construction. Some things can be solved at the construction site, but some things cannot be solved by the construction itself, such as progress payment, materials and equipment provided by Party A with various requirements, as well as local forces, sand and stone tyrants, and even environmental protection organizations. Therefore, for general large-scale projects, there will be dedicated personnel responsible for coordinating various relationships, and the people who are in this task will usually not have low positions.

Of course, there are not so many complicated things in the current project. Most of the materials and labor are not expensive, nor are there local forces, sand and stone tyrants, and there will be no environmental protection organizations. However, there are no troubles in the old time and space, but new problems arise. The second is the contradiction between local farmers and prisoners of labor.

It turned out that with more and more farmers returning, the number of locals participating in the construction gradually increased, so on every construction site, there were locals and foreigners working together. As victims of the Eight-Nation Alliance's war invasion of China, the farmers in Tianjin naturally had no good impression of foreigners. However, in the past, foreigners were very powerful in China, and of course they dared not speak out. But now it is different. Foreigners have become prisoners of the lower classes and are actually driven to build houses for themselves. Although this is the credit of overseas Chinese and has nothing to do with them, this group of overseas Chinese all regard themselves as Chinese, so this has something to do with them. At least these foreigners are very honest in front of the villagers, but they do not look arrogant.

After a while, the farmers became bolder, so some of them had long seen that foreigners were not in the same way as their relatives had died in the Eight-Nation Alliance began to provoke foreigners, and at first they just pointed and cursed at foreigners. However, foreigners did not understand Chinese, and then they became a prisoner, so they ignored them. This also encouraged some people's arrogance and finally developed to the point of touching them.

Among the prisoners, except for the third brother of India who has a good temper and can accept it, the prisoners of other countries do not have that good patience, because they are all military and mostly young people, with strong spirits and are scolded so much that they don’t care, but if they want to beat people, they will stop fighting. Naturally, they have to fight back. Therefore, there have been several conflicts between farmers and foreigners. Once, there have been more than ten ginseng fights on both sides, and several people on both sides were injured, but fortunately no one was killed.

These things immediately attracted the high attention of Li Songchen, Tang Songlin and others, because if the Sino-foreign conflict is not severe, it may lead to large-scale armed fighting in the future, and there are many equipments that can be used for fighting on the construction site. So decisive measures were immediately taken to separate the construction of prisoners and farmers and strengthen supervision. Therefore, when the two sides cross-construction, they will send enough personnel to supervise. Even if the two sides cannot stop the fight, they can understand the cause of the fight and which party initiates it to provide a basis for post-processing.

Another important measure is to strengthen the service education of farmers, because almost all fights and conflicts are initiated by farmers, so to resolve conflicts, we must first start from the farmers' aspects.

Li Songchen also tried his best to use the principles that farmers could understand as much as possible, and patiently explained the reasons why they could not bully prisoners. For example, they were already prisoners, bullying prisoners was not considered heroes, or they injured all the prisoners, who would work for us, etc.

Of course, Li Songchen also knew that blindly persuading and comforting was not very effective, and he had to use both kindness and power. Therefore, after persuading, Li Songchen solemnly announced that if there are any bullying for no reason and provoking the captives, they will be severely punished. Of course, they also warned the captives. When encountering provocations from farmers, they are not allowed to fight back at all, but report to the time traveler immediately and deal with it. Otherwise, regardless of whether they are in the wrong, they will be severely punished at all. After all, if you become a captive, you must be a person with your tail and want to be equal, and you don’t even have any door.

At this time, the time travel group still has a high prestige in the minds of farmers, and most of the Chinese farmers are honest people, so they have been restrained a lot. Of course, there are no conflicts on the surface, but there are still things that can be slaughtered, malicious, or throw stones behind the scenes. However, it finally suppresses the conflicts between China and foreign countries within an extreme range and does not affect the overall situation.
