Passing through the station

Due to the huge pressure, the courtiers/fathers had to announce the construction of the glass factory as a decree. At the same time, they also announced that many jobs will be recruited for the public, so stay tuned.

The common people don't quite understand things like factories.Glass is a good thing, they all know that.Of course, they look forward to more at work!

A change that followed happened secretly under the noses of the rich and powerful.

The officials of Yushitai have been coming to Ruan Bai for tea and snacks from time to time recently, even if Ruan Bai has run over them, they have the cheek to admit: "Oh, you know we are poor as speakers." While saying that, I didn’t forget to put the butterfly cakes in my mouth. The palm-sized butterfly cakes, the skin as thin as a cicada’s wings are layered on top of each other, and sprinkled with grains of white sugar. It has always been a pastry shop. One of the first varieties to sell out.

Ruan Bai looked at his fat face: "Hehe."

The fat speaker covered his face and said, "This is puffiness, puffiness!"

Ruan Bai didn't bother to talk to this fat man, not even the cuteness of their four fat men and one fat paw: "Tell me, what's the matter?"

The fat speaker straightened his face, and said: "Recently, there have been a few workshops in Fangshi, did you make them?"

"Yeah." Ruan Bai admitted straightforwardly, "Is there any problem?"

Earlier, through the property, he distributed some handicrafts to some housewives, most of which were small things such as packing boxes for stores under his name.

It's cold now.Although the winter in the capital is not worth mentioning compared to Shunyang Pass, it is far from being as warm as spring.

Recently, the sales volume of each store has made a big leap, but the amount of manual work handed in has not changed significantly.It's not that the people who pick up the work are not short of money, but that the cold weather makes their fingers stiff, and it often takes more time than usual to do the same job well.

It is true that the heated kang has become popular now.But ordinary people who are still living on a budget will not burn kang all day long.

After Ruan Bai knew about it, he bought one or two houses next to the property. After a little renovation, the people who received jobs in a square city could gather together to work.The heat from the kang was not wasted, and the door facing the street was changed to sell boxed meals. There are many dishes, and it is cheaper than starting a business by yourself, so it is very popular.Especially those who were originally idlers, those who are now in charge of property, and some bachelors and families with poor craftsmanship.

Although it is going out to work, it is only a few steps away from home, and the house is still heated, which is great.

For Ruan Bai, this is just a trivial matter.Housing prices in the capital are expensive, but how expensive can housing prices in civilian areas be?What's more, he didn't buy a big house.What's more, according to the sales volume of the box restaurant, the house money and heating money can be earned back soon.

The fat speaker was struggling: "I didn't say anything bad." Among the common people, this measure was well received, but he always felt that there was something strange, but he couldn't say it for a while.

Ruan Bai remembered something, he took a box of snacks from the cabinet, and stuffed it into the hand of the fat speaker: "Take it back and share it with everyone." He also had a rotation at Yushitai, and knew a lot of words. It's really nice.

The speech officer is a position that is easy to offend, and there is not much lucrative position.But this does not mean that their salaries are really pitifully low.The reason why many officials live in poverty is because they will help some suffering people from time to time.

Ruan Bai has a plan in his heart to change this situation, but he has to eat every bite.The huge machine of Dazhou has been rusted for too long, and it needs careful care of each gear to ensure that it can run at high speed in the near future.All he can do now is to promote the development of charity and bring more needy people into the organization, instead of relying on the contributions of these officials.

The fat officer was not polite, he even opened the lid, saw that it was full of all kinds of shortbread, meat, and candy, and sucked in his saliva in vain.

Ruan Bai frowned slightly, and said slowly: "Actually, I have an idea, or a plan."

The fat speaker hurriedly sat upright, even covered the pastry box and put it aside.

"The workers in the workshop are all women. After they come out to work, no one will take care of the children at home. My next step is to build a nursery school."

The fat officer asked: "A nursery school, is it a place to take care of children who have no family to take care of them during the day?"

Ruan Bai nodded: "That's right. According to the gender and age of the children, the nursery school can be divided into several classes. The younger ones can play games with them, and the older ones can teach them to recognize some characters."

The fat officer smiled wryly: "Master Ruan, ordinary people can't afford nursery schools at all. As far as I know, since your workshop was established, these people's families have older children with younger children. Those who don't have older children at home, I will entrust it to the older children of other families."

Ruan Bai sighed, and smiled wryly: "We still have to wait for people to become richer." When people's food and clothing have not been solved, he is still too sweet to talk about education.

The topic was put on hold, but the fat Yanguan wrote the plan in his diary after returning home.He has been an official for a long time.Most of them, who are officials, are looking at the capital, looking at the entire Great Zhou, which has gradually turned into a pool of stagnant water.

Da Zhou is like an old man in his twilight years. He used to be vigorous and tall and strong. However, as he grew older, various diseases appeared, some were cured, and some remained there.Up to now, this giant is also old, and his body is full of old diseases. Everyone knows about it, but no one can cure it.

However, all of this has been greatly changed with the arrival of this young man.He seemed to see this stagnant water reinjected into new water sources, and saw the giant rejuvenate.

The fat Yanguan looked at the words in the diary, sighed, but had a smile on his face.Young people's ideas are always bold and radical, and they old men can't be left behind too much!

Oh, no, they are not very old, they are still in their prime!

But Ruan Bai put the nursery school plan into the file bag that night, picked up another file bag again, and pulled out the written plan.

Xiao Zhong, who was following beside him, swallowed subconsciously.As Chu Hao's long follower, Xiao Zhong is naturally not an ordinary servant.In fact, with Xiaozhong's ability, he can be a foreign affairs manager.Of course, he is still young, and there are still some rough places in his work.A recent example is the wrong judgment of Ruan Bai, the second young master.

With the prolongation of getting along with each other, although Xiaozhong is constantly revising his understanding of the second young master, he finds that his judgment can never keep up with the various changes of the second young master.

If you use the words of Xiaozhong's heart, is the second young master who can turn the entire capital upside down in just a few months?The capital city hasn't changed much for many years, but how long has the Second Young Master been here?Oh, he is proud of the second young master, it is definitely not a criticism.

It's just that as the second young master's long-term follower, he's under a lot of pressure!What the second young master desperately needs by his side is a book boy, not a half-assed guy like him!

As for Shi Ziye's book boys, they are all in Xijing, replacing Shi Ziye who is away all the year round, and dealing with various problems.

Ruan Bai probably also felt a little bit of Xiao Zhong's broken heart. After reorganizing the plan, he raised his head and said to Xiao Zhong: "If you have time, help me choose a few people who can serve in the study."

"Yes, Second Young Master!"

Such an answer has become a standard format for people in Pingxi Palace.When Ruan Bai first appeared here, even if they didn't say anything, they would secretly question Ruan Bai's various orders in their hearts.But now, they don't anymore.

The second young master of their palace is actually a monster like the Shizi.No age or anything can limit them at all.There's no need to question any of their decisions, because being a fish-lipped mortal, they can never keep up with the minds of monsters, and can never understand their train of thought.

When the capital was covered by heavy snow, and the government and the public thought that this year would end perfectly like this, everyone discovered that there was something new in the capital.

And the change started from the mail order list at the property, which became a booklet.

The number and types of goods that can be ordered by mail have increased significantly. In addition to some daily necessities, many merchants have also listed their own products on it.The first one is Dielianhua's wool thread.Wool thread is cheap compared to the exorbitant price of the finished product.For the women who have been doing manual work for a year, if the family burden is not so heavy, they are very happy to add a little warmth to the coming New Year.

Then, there were three more carriages at the gate of the post station, and they would travel from the capital to various places in Gyeonggi every day, and back and forth on the same day.The specific place to go is clearly written at the ticket office at the entrance of the post station.People who want to go to that place can buy tickets in advance, which is cheaper, safer, and comfortable and warm than in the past.

It is actually similar to the era that originally belonged to Ruan Bai. In the capital city of Dazhou, there are actually many "Beijing drifters".However, the geographical span is not that large, and they usually come from the Gyeonggi area.Every year during the Chinese New Year, they must return to their hometown to spend with their families.

If you carry a lot of luggage, you can buy a luggage ticket without any problem.In fact, it is easy to find out when you actually get on the carriage. In fact, there are far more than these three carriages accompanying the trip. There are more carriages or ox carts and donkey carts, transporting a large number of packages and items.

Under Ruan Bai's instigation, this is an investment hosted by the Ministry of Household Affairs, which currently only covers the Gyeonggi area.Now it is still a trial run, and it can make money.The money is not much, but it is enough to subsidize some operating expenses of the station.

In fact, looking at the station like this, it is quite expensive.The annual loss of horses alone is not a small expense.

Many officials whose families are far away from the capital even hopefully urged the Ministry of Household Affairs: "When will there be a horse-drawn carriage directly from the capital to my hometown?"

The household officials took out their abacus: "Tell me where your home is first? Let's calculate the cost first?"

In the study of Prince Pingxi's mansion, Ruan Bai drew a line between the capital city and Xijing on the open map with his fingers.Is he celebrating the New Year alone this year?His wife is missing?
