Passing through the station

Less than half a month after the autumn harvest, the whole of Shunyang was completely empty.The caravan in the market left, and the officials who came to study and inspect also left.

In fields plowed by oxen, farmers break up large clods of soil with hoes.This work is nearing completion.

The snow has not yet fallen, and the sound of iron hooves on the road seems to have a bit of chilling atmosphere.

Ruan Bai stood at the intersection doing simple warm-up exercises, and behind him a few majestic big dogs shook their heads and stretched themselves.Obsidian was jetting beside him, relying on the advantage of height, he looked very disdainful.Ruan Bai looked at the stalked neck, and was exhausted for it.

The sun in late autumn has no power at all, and the wind blows on the body is very chilling.However, the morning exercises of the soldiers were still over before the sun rose, and even the postmen who ran in the morning with the hired laborers of the farmers had already finished their work.

The huge official road seems to be occupied by Ruan Bai.He also put on a preparatory posture in a decent manner, glanced sideways, and drove all the four-legged animals that surpassed the line behind him, and then gave orders in satisfaction: "Get ready—run!"

Ruan Bai jumped out first, and the elder brother ran away, the dog barked and the horse neighed behind him, it was extremely lively.

Even so, as a human being without two legs, Ruan Bai was still the slowest runner.He can't even run the fat ball now.

Having not exercised well for several months, Ruan Bai almost ran away this time. He was exhausted after running all the way from Qianhu Mansion to the post station, and had to walk all the way back.

Chu Hao had been guarding the door for a long time. Seeing him panting so hard that he wanted to stick out his tongue, he quickly walked over to support him: "I can't run anymore, why don't you come back on an obsidian?"

As soon as Ruan Bai leaned into Chu Hao's arms, he was like a dead dog. He closed his eyes and panted for a while, and then said under Chu Hao's urging: "The legs are weak, and I can't climb up." Such a shameful reason, If you insist on forcing him to speak out, sleep in the study at night!

Chu Hao was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, then he pursed his lips and held back his laughter: "The hot water is ready. I'll massage you after you take a shower, otherwise your legs will be sore tomorrow."

"Yeah." Ruan Bai gave him a look that you know.As for the four-legged animals who had been running behind him, they all ran out like a merry man after sending him home.

Limbs are not developed enough, are you despised even for playing?

Chu Hao touched the stunned Ruan Bai, and comforted him: "Let them go, they will come back when they eat later." The rules at home are to have meals on a regular basis; unless there are special circumstances, otherwise they will not wait when it is out of date.

The two cubs of Zhou Tuji's family originally needed to be fed for meals. After living here for a short time, they developed the habit of consciously eating enough.

Don't feel full at mealtimes, counting on snacks?

hehe.No meals, no snacks, not even a mouthful of candied fruit.No one cares about being hungry and crying.

The only exception in Qianhu Mansion is Ruan Bai, there is no second person or dog!

At the breakfast table, I saw General Cao who came to eat on time.He didn't come every day, but he would find various excuses to appear at the Chu family's dinner table for half a month.

Excuses are readily available today.

"Hurry up and finish eating, we have to run a lot of places today." After speaking, General Cao showed the momentum of going into battle to kill the enemy, and swept away the food in front of him like a storm.

As soon as Ruan Bai's chopsticks were put into the bowl, General Cao had already ordered the boy who was waiting on the side: "Have another bowl!" Holding a big meat bun in his hand, he complained, "Your bowl is too small. You're not a girl, how can such a mouthful be enough?"

Ruan Bai put down his chopsticks, and explained to the boy: "Change the bowl for the general."

The boy nodded immediately, ran out quickly, and quickly brought out the same bowl that Ruan Bai used to eat noodles a few days ago. Without saying a word, he filled a bowl full of porridge for General Cao, and put it in front of General Cao .

General Cao looked down at the thick and fragrant porridge, subconsciously rubbed his belly, his eyes sharpened, and he fought!Manly man, he did what he did, even if he cried, he had to eat it!

General Cao went out holding his stomach and packed two big meat buns.

The three got into a carriage, and when they arrived at the gate of Guancheng, there were already several carriages waiting there.There are countless ox carts and donkey carts. The flatbed carts are loaded with tall goods, all covered with tarpaulins, and it is impossible to see what is inside.

Several officials were busy checking whether the binding ropes were firm. Seeing them coming, they quickly stood up solemnly and saluted one after another.

General Cao waved his hand: "There is no need to be polite. Let's go!" Everything that should be said and paid attention to has been explained a few days ago.It's time to hurry up when it comes to doing things, and the days are short now, even if there are so many of them, they still have to run for a few days.

The convoy ran across the official road in a mighty way, and soon diverted along the branch roads leading to various villages.

This time they are going to...well, to send warmth.In Ruan Bai's words, the development of Shunyang is inseparable from the support of the people.People's lives are better than before, but that doesn't mean they don't need help. Every winter, there are still old people and children who don't wear warm clothes, and there are still people who can't eat meat every New Year's Eve.

Their Shunyang frontier army is having a better life now, and they can't forget the common people.

This proposal was actually not made by Ruan Bai, but by Chu Hao.After the autumn harvest was over, Chu Hao, as the head of government affairs, got the specific figures immediately, and combined with the various taxes received, he found that there was actually a considerable surplus.

Of course, it is not impossible to spend this part of the money on the frontier army.But it seems better to give some of it to the common people.

Ruan Bai perfected the plan. Elderly people over 40 years old and children under [-] years old are given a down jacket and a duvet per person; each household has a cart of briquettes; meat is given per head; those who have made special contributions in the war are given eggs and wine...

Things seem to be very rich, and there are indeed a lot of them.But in fact the price is not high.The advantages of down are not yet realized by many people.Besides, there are many farmers in Shunyang, and the down is collected at extremely low prices.The cost of the new fabric is also deliberately considered, and the production is also simple.

General Cao, the hands-off shopkeeper, looked at the convoy behind him on the road, holding an abacus in his hand: "How much does this cost?"

He asked himself that he didn't go astray on the road paved by Ruan Bai. After the government affairs in his hand were handed over to Chu Hao, he didn't see how much he had done. How could he produce so many things for the common people at once?

Seeing his abacus being snatched away by his boss, Chu Hao simply dictated the various costs: "Actually, it doesn't cost much. We have our own farm, enough for pigs and sheep. We have our own coal mine and our own winery. Now the clothing factory Those who work inside are also members of the military. The down jackets are a waste of time. However, the new winter clothes for the whole army have already been finished, and the production of spring and autumn clothes will not be delayed.

To put it bluntly, everything is self-produced and sold by the frontier army, and the cost is not much at all.If Chu Hao was asked to distribute sweaters and wool quilts, then he would definitely not be able to afford them.

Shunyang is a vast land and sparsely populated, so it doesn't take long to deliver things, and time is spent on the road.It was supposed to be delivered during the Chinese New Year, but I was afraid that the road would be blocked by snow during the New Year's Day. Anyway, it is cold now, so I sent it earlier.

Other villages and towns have also implemented it, but they don't distribute as many things as here.If so, all the officials who sent warmth received a lot of praise.

Some problems that the common people actually encountered and needed the help of officials to solve were also summarized and reported one by one.

Taking advantage of the last time before the road was closed, Chu Hao hurriedly ordered everything that could be solved, and then packed up a group of dogs at home and went home for the New Year!

He hasn't been home for the New Year for several years, and he really misses it.

Because it was going back for a short stay, the fat people were not free-range this time.The third and fourth are a little wary.Big fat and little fat ball, still looking heartless.Xuexue has been in contact once, and she is very calm.

Without too much luggage or too many people, the group arrived in Xijing within a few days.

As soon as Ruan Bai lifted the curtain of the car, he was stunned: "Why..." Many people queuing at the gate of the city were wearing woolen caps, woolen gloves, and many were wearing down jackets.

Liniang and the others are the only ones doing the processing and production of woolen products.In the past, Dielianhua and Bailifang did sell some woolen products, but that was only a small amount, and it was purely a small business.The purchase of raw materials such as wool in large quantities is still a matter after the opening of the market this year, but how long will it be until it is full?

He regretted that when he passed by Xishan City, he didn't stop to ask Liniang.

Chu Hao was not too surprised: "It's too late this year, next year you have to give Liniang a big red envelope." Such a capable girl is even worse than the few book boys he raised since childhood.Um?There seemed to be two of his bookboys who were not married yet, so they turned around and asked Liniang if they didn't have a partner.Anyway, his book boy had already been released from slavery when he sent him to work, so there was no problem with his identity.

Ruan Bai didn't know what Chu Hao was thinking, so he quickly put down the car curtain.The roof of the carriage has a skylight, which is different from the window screens in summer, and now uses a layer of thin, almost transparent cloth, which is one of the new fabrics researched by several masters before. The cost is not low, and the advantage is that it is tough and durable.With such a sunroof, even if the door is closed, the cabin will not be dark, nor will cold wind be blown in.

The carriage moved quickly, bypassed the long queue, and directly entered the city gate.

There was some commotion in the team, but it subsided quickly, watching a few ordinary carriages with no marks just take a step ahead in such a grandiose manner.

As a result, the carriage arrived at the palace, but something happened - Fat Ball couldn't help but jumped out of the carriage!Then a group of fat people all jumped down!

Not to mention the oversized chubby, even the fat ball is not small now.Suddenly appearing on the road, Hao Xuan scares the passers-by.

Fortunately, the current road has reached the vicinity of the palace, and there are few residents and passers-by in this area.

Chu Hao and Ruan Bai reacted quickly, and quickly jumped out of the carriage. They saw King Pingxi holding a fat ball in one hand, and said with a smile: "Hey, I'm back! It just so happened that Dad caught a fat dog, and we will eat dog meat tonight!"

The author has something to say: Fat Ball (〃>Dish<): What kind of skill is bullying puppies, it's kind of heads-up!

Persimmon Daddy (＾－＾) V: You lost the heads-up.

Fat Ball (〃>Dish<): If you have the guts to single out the poor dad!

Persimmon Dad (＾－＾) V: It’s okay to single out your family!

Fat Ball: (ノ? Benefit?) ノ彡┻━┻
