When Ruan Bai looked at Zhou Kitten's eyes, Zhou Kitten also had a cold back, and he instinctively wanted to scratch this little white face.

Of course, what is the Imperial Study? They must not be allowed to be so presumptuous, their eyes are just intertwined and separated, almost no one notices, and there is a collision between the two at this moment.

Ruan Bai saluted, and it was difficult to hide his inexplicable face. He really didn't know, what was he calling him to the imperial study for, it couldn't be to ask him to compliment a few words, right?

Outcome......

"How much does it cost to clean up sewage, get rid of snakes, insects, rats and ants, and repair the drainage system?"

"How much does it cost to have someone sweep the streets and remove garbage in a timely manner every day?"

"How much does it cost to plant flowers and trees along the street and change them in four seasons?"

Ruan Bai almost wanted to cover his face, and his heart was almost broken. It's not unreasonable that this Da Zhou is so poor. The ministers all know how to spend money, but they don't have the ability to make money. The people who manage a country are all a group of losers, and it is really ...... that they have not gone bankrupt until now The country is prosperous.

As if seeing Ruan Bai's thoughts, a group of old ministers and heavenly father and son all blushed a little, but they did not relax their urgent stare at Ruan Bai, as if Ruan Bai could lay two golden eggs after two more glances.

Nguyen Bai told them three words: "Property fee." ”

Although urban construction should theoretically be the business of local government departments, who makes the country poor? That can only be solved by the people themselves.

In Ruan Bai's view, the fangs and markets all over the city are like communities, and it is certainly feasible for the people who live in them to pay a little money.

But in this case......

"Markets such as Xinyunfang and Pinghuaifang are naturally fine, but some ordinary people are already living hard, where can they come up with money to pay property fees?"

The corners of Ruan Bai's mouth twitched slightly: "There are many rich people in Da Zhou, and there are also many rich and kind-hearted people. After opening with two seemingly inexplicable words, he paused before saying, "If a stone tablet is erected at the gate of Fang City, and the name of the person who donated the money is engraved; Or give the naming rights of the streets in the city to those who donate money......"

"Hiss-" A clear and loud gasping sound sounded, and everyone in the room looked at Ruan Bai with burning eyes, eager to dissect him to see what was in the core, how could he come up with such a good idea?

Ruan Bai squinted his eyes slightly and smiled: "In fact, most of the old people in the family are soft-hearted, instead of taking a lot of incense money every year to pray to God and worship Buddha, it is better to really do some good deeds." This is the boy's shallow opinion, I don't know what you adults think? ”

What do you think? They thought it was good! Moreover, this kid's heart is really not small. In this way, it is simply two birds with one stone, not three birds!

The common people got benefits, the rich people gained fame, and they stabbed the nose of those bald cows! It's wonderful, it's wonderful!

Regarding the property, Ruan Bai slightly mentioned the expansion content: "Either the government can come forward, or it can be set up by the city itself to set up several special property management agencies." The main work can be divided into the following points, patrol to ensure the safety of the city, maintenance of housing objects, environmental management, greening management, ......"

Speaking of which, there is really nothing left for Ruan Bai. In the imperial study, Ruan Bai was directly taken to the Ministry of Industry.

Li Shangshu almost rolled up his sleeves and worked hard with the Ministry of Works, the divine beast of their yamen's town house, can it be handed over to others!

However, the Ministry of Industry is not easy to mess with, and this is the Imperial Study! He can not give face to the Ministry of Works, but he can't help but give face to the emperor.

So there was no fight. Then, the people of the capital soon noticed the changes around them.

First of all, some people who are always on the side of the road are gone, and some idlers who are always making trouble are also taken care of, and they once made people panic. It's good to be called Hanako, but what idler doesn't make big mistakes and doesn't make small mistakes constantly?

Oh, so you want to give us a job?

But we don't want to work, we just want to eat and wait for the swelling to break?

Yamen's answer is simple.

Isn't there no job? So where do you get the money for your usual drinks and meals? Explain clearly!

Oh, the boss of the people? Ask someone to cry and mourn a face? Say! Not blackmail yet?

No? You have to play a few boards, right?

Oh, admit it. It's good to admit it earlier, obediently follow the arrangement of the yamen, and earn money with your own hands, do you know?

It has to be said that this simple and crude process is very efficient. Ruan Bai was very happy.

Although he is now in the Ministry of Industry, after all, it is a plan he proposed, and he will still follow up the whole process. Of course, these people who come up from everywhere can't go to work right away, and even before skills training, they need to undergo pre-job training.

This prince is good at military training!

The crown prince was always full of enthusiasm for military affairs, and he didn't do it if others wanted to rob him. Of course, no one wants to rob him of his job.

Moreover, the prince still has a hand in leading the troops. Just a few idlers, without the prince going out in person, just send out a hundred households to train this group of guys who are usually hangers to be dogs every day.

The results were also immediate. In just half a month, the mental outlook of these people has changed, and after a month, they have simply changed.

At this time, the bidding of various civilian square cities also ended.

An all-□□ movement was launched throughout the capital. I have to say that autumn is a great season for cleaning. Autumn is crisp and cool, with no more rain and no less.

No one is born sloppy. Students walk the streets every day to promote personal hygiene, the streets are clean and tidy, garbage bins are set up at various crossings, and there are even public toilets......

Public toilets were what Nguyen Bai thought of later. In fact, the flow of people in the capital is not large now, but there are open defecation in all eras, even including some scholars......

Promoting hygiene starts with changing people's mindsets. The other is the broken window effect. A clean and tidy environment, most people will not deliberately destroy it, but when it has a little dirt on the ground, then there will soon be a second and third dirty place.

The people of the capital soon discovered that the city they thought was good was not good enough. Changes are happening every day, and some Hu businessmen are even more eye-opening, and such a good environment makes them not want to go back at all.

And these Hu merchants are the second way to make money that Ruan Bai handed over to the Hubu Shangshu, and of course they also need the cooperation of the military department.

In fact, the handicraft manufacturing industry in Dazhou is very developed, and skilled craftsmen abound. Not to mention the top craftsmen who were collected in the Ministry of Industry, all the rich and powerful families will also consciously raise some craftsmen. In addition, in each town, there are probably some suburban markets where artisans live.

It's just that technology has a strong monopoly. Many people cherish themselves, and there are all kinds of rules such as passing on men to daughters-in-law and not daughters. Even if you learn from a teacher, most of the masters will keep a hand and a half.

Like now, everyone is doing things for the imperial court, right? Do you Jiangnan Navy dare to say that you are not a family with the court of the Great Zhou?

The Jiangnan Navy's sea ships are all built by the Ministry of Engineering, but after the big ships are in the hands of the Jiangnan Navy, they will refit them. This modification is like a stick guy who has just joined the army, and after rigorous military training, he has become a heroic professional soldier. If the former fights, it is a fight, and if the latter fights, it is called war.

And this transformation technology of the Jiangnan Navy comes from the Zheng family, who has been in control of the Jiangnan Navy all year round. and the crown princess's maiden family counted several generations forward, it was the same clan, but for various reasons, it was divided.

Well, that's people's own technology, which has been selflessly taken out for the state to use, but the state can't directly confiscate people's technology patents. After all, a behemoth like the Zheng family is not a puppy like Ruan Bai, who can be sent away by just giving a few copper coins.

Since you can't get around it, you can only share it with others.

"Foreign trade?" The easy-to-understand new term made the eyes of the monarchs and ministers of the Great Zhou shine.

Ruan Bai was once again dragged to the imperial study, and was once again watched by strong onlookers, this time he was already very calm, and talked eloquently: "I see that so many Hu businessmen from overseas in the capital have come to our Great Zhou from thousands of miles, and the journey is dangerous, and there must be huge benefits." ”

The matter of ocean trade, Ruan Bai really didn't think about it casually. Of course, he doesn't have the ability to hand claws now. The only qualified ships that can support the bulk ocean trade in the entire Great Zhou are those of the Jiangnan Navy. It's not that there are no big ships in other places, but it is estimated that the safe return depends on luck, unlike the Jiangnan Navy, which already has the prototype of a warship.

And there must be a lot of terra nullius elsewhere, gold, silver, gem mines, maybe corn and potatoes, all kinds of drought-tolerant grains, maybe cash crops like rubber trees. It's just that he didn't dare to talk about this, and even Chu Hao didn't know.

Those Hu merchants who were engaged in ocean trade could make them rich with one round trip, and they could live the most luxurious life with three round trips. Is someone's boat better than ours? No, ocean trade is fraught with dangers, and every time you sail without bad weather, someone dies.

Even if Ruan Bai proposes this time, Da Zhou's sea ships are really better than others', it doesn't mean that Da Zhou doesn't have to pay tuition.

However, in the eyes of those in power, dead people are normal. Huge interests are their driving force.

And when they were constantly tossing ocean trade, the capital had changed its appearance. Autumn and winter have come, and the capital has not only become clean and orderly, but also has something that seems to be very powerful.

Early in the morning, the gate of the market has just opened, and the wooden wheels roll across the slightly undulating stone road. This is the incense of the night, and it is always the earliest every day.

It didn't take long for people from the property to go door-to-door delivering firewood and briquettes. After a while, the property sent fruits, vegetables and rice grains. After the hustle and bustle of getting up early and going to work, some women put some handiwork on the property and register it.

At noon, someone drove a donkey cart to the property to pick up the handiwork, and handed over the money, and then put down some raw materials.

Women who are usually inconvenient to go out to work can stay at home in winter and make money by doing handicrafts at home. The money earned can also be used to buy rice and firewood. If there is no special thing, you don't have to go out on a cold day, you can register it directly at the property, and you can send it the next day, which is very convenient.

Ruan Bai nested on the kang in the yamen, eating takeaway from the pastry shop, and looked at a big white dog.

The dog's eyes stared at the pastry in his hand for a moment.

Ruan Bai quickly stuffed it into his mouth, and only after eating did he say, "Dogs can't eat sweet." ”

The big white dog tilted his head, and suddenly changed from squatting to standing up, with his front paws on the kang: "Huh? One of his front paws also pushed Ruan Bai's thigh.

Nguyen Bai was unmoved.

After the big white dog blinked for a moment, he pushed his plush head into Ruan Bai's arms, rubbed it over, and then raised his head: "Huh? ”

Ruan Bai: "......" Ma Dan, whose big dog is so coquettish! He even ran into the yamen! Is it permissible to bring a dog to work? Tomorrow he will bring Obsidian to work too!

"Xuexue, where are you? Come to Daddy! ”

The big white dog stiffened the whole dog.

"Snow and snow? Aren't you a male dog? Why is it called such a mother's name? "Ruan Bai is strange, and isn't that voice outside Zhou Xiaomei? What big dog does a kitten have?!
