Due to the tremendous pressure, the courtiers/fathers had to announce the construction of a glass factory as a government decree, and at the same time, it was announced that many jobs would be recruited for the public, so stay tuned.

Factories or something, the common people don't understand very well. Glass is a good thing, they all understand. Of course, they are looking forward to the job even more!

A change that followed took place under the noses of the high-ranking families.

The officials of Yushitai have come to Ruan Bai for tea from time to time recently, rubbing snacks by the way, even if they are squeezed by Ruan Bai, they also admit thickly: "Alas, you know that we are poor as officials." While talking, I didn't forget to stuff the butterfly crisp into my mouth, the palm-sized butterfly crisp, the thin puff pastry like a cicada's wings, and the white sugar sprinkled on top of it, has always been one of the earliest varieties sold out in the pastry shop.

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

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

Ruan Bai didn't bother to pay attention to this fat man, and he didn't even have the cuteness of one fat paw of the four fat people in their family: "Say, what's the matter?" ”

The fat Yanguan straightened his face before he said: "Recently, there have been a few workshops in Fang City, did you do it?" ”

"Hmm." Ruan Bai admitted very simply, "Is there any problem?" ”

Earlier, he had been handing out handicrafts to some housewives through the Guò property, most of which were small things like boxes from his shop.

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

Recently, there has been a big leap in sales of pù in each store, but the amount of manual work handed in has not changed significantly. It's not that the people who take the job are not bad for money, it's that the cold weather makes their fingers stiff, and it often takes more time than usual to do the same job.

Now it is true that the fire kang has become popular. But the people who are still living a budget-conscious life will not burn the kang all day long.

After Ruan Bai found out, he bought one or two rooms next to the property, and after a little renovation, he could let the people who took the job in a square city come to work. The heat of the kang is not wasted, and the face of the street is changed to sell boxed lunches, with many dishes, which is cheaper than opening a gang by yourself, which is very popular. Especially those who were originally idlers, the young men who are now working as property managers, and some bachelors and families with poor craftsmanship.

Although it is said to go out to work, it is only a few steps away from home, and people are still warm, how good.

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

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

Ruan Bai remembered what happened, he took a box of snacks from the cabinet and stuffed it into the fat official's hand: "Bring it back and divide it for everyone." "He has also rotated in the Yushitai, and he knows that many officials are really good.

Yanguan is a position that is easy to offend people and has no oil and water. But that doesn't mean their salaries are pitifully low. The reason why many officials live a poor life is because they will help some suffering people from time to time.

Ruan Bai has a plan in his heart to change this status quo, but he has to eat one bite at a time. The huge machine of Da Zhou has been rusting for too long, and it needs to be carefully cared for one gear after another to ensure that it can run rapidly in the near future. All he can do now is to promote the development of philanthropy and bring more people in need into the organization, instead of relying on the efforts of these officials.

The fat Yanguan was not polite, and opened the lid, and saw that it was full of all kinds of shortbread, meat, and sugar, and sucked his saliva without interest.

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

The fat speaker hurriedly sat upright, and even the cake box was covered and put aside.

"The women who work in the workshops. When they came out to work, there was no one to take the children with them. My next step is to set up a nursery. ”

The fat speaker asked, "Is the nursery school a place where children who have no family to take care of them during the day?" ”

Ruan Bai nodded: "Not bad." Depending on the age of the children, the nursery can be divided into several classes, with the younger ones taking them to play games and the older ones teaching them to read words. ”

The fat Yanguan smiled bitterly: "Lord Ruan, ordinary people can't afford to go to a nursery school at all." As far as I know, since the establishment of your workshop, these people have been families with big children with small children. If there are no older children at home, they will entrust them to the older children of other families. ”

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

This topic was put aside, but after the fat speaker returned, he wrote this plan in his diary. His years as an official are not short. Most of them who are speech officials are looking at the capital and the entire Great Zhou, and they have become a pool of stagnant water little by little.

Da Zhou is like a dying old man, he used to be vigorous, he was once tall and strong, but as he grew older, all kinds of diseases came up, some were cured, and some were always there. By now, this giant is also old, and his body is full of old diseases, everyone knows it, but no one can cure it.

However, this qiē has changed greatly with the arrival of this teenager. He seemed to see the stagnant water re-injected with new water, and the giant rejuvenated.

The fat speaker 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 can't be left behind too much!

Oh no, they're not very old either, they're in the prime of life!

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

Xiao Zhong, who was following on the side, subconsciously swallowed his saliva. As Chu Hao's long-term follower, Xiao Zhong is naturally not an ordinary subordinate. 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 doing things. A recent example is the misjudgment of Ruan Bai, the second young master.

And with the extension of the time spent together, although Xiao Zhong is constantly revising his understanding of the second young master, he finds that his judgment can never catch up with the various changes of the second young master.

If you use Xiao Zhong's inner words, can the second young master who can turn the entire capital upside down in just a few months, is still human? The capital hasn't changed much in many years, but how long has the second young master been here? Oh, he is proud of the second young master, and he is definitely not criticized.

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

As for the scholars of the prince, they are all in Xijing, replacing the prince who is away all the year round, to deal with various problems.

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

"Yes, Second Young Master!"

Such an answer has become the standard format of the people in the Pingxi Palace. When Ruan Bai first appeared here, even if they didn't say it, they would secretly question Ruan Bai's various orders in their hearts. Now, however, they don't.

The second young master of their palace is actually a monster like the prince of the world. Age or something, you can't limit them at all. There is no need to question any of their decisions, because as a fish-lipped mortal, they will never be able to keep up with the monsters' thoughts and will never be able to understand their train of thought.

When the capital was covered with heavy snow, and the government and the opposition thought that this year would end perfectly, everyone found that there was one more thing in the capital.

The change started with the mail-order list at the property and turned into a booklet.

The number and variety of goods that can be mail-ordered have increased significantly, and in addition to some daily necessities, many merchants have also hung their own goods on them. The first one is the wool thread of the butterfly love flower. Compared to the high price of the finished product, wool thread is simply cheap. For women who have been doing manual work for a year, if the burden on the family is not so heavy, they are more than happy to add a little warmth to the upcoming New Year.

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

It is actually similar to the era that originally belonged to Ruan Bai, and in the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there are actually many "Beijing drifters". However, the geographical span is not that large, and they usually come from the Gyeonggi region. Every year during the Chinese New Year, they must return to their hometowns to spend time with their families.

With a lot of luggage on you, no problem, you can buy a luggage ticket. In fact, when you actually get into the carriage, it is easy to find that in fact, there are far more than these three carriages accompanying the trip, there are more carriages or ox carts and donkey carts, carrying a large number of packages and goods.

This is an investment under the auspices of Nguyen Bai and under the auspices of the Ministry of Households, which currently only covers the Gyeonggi region. Now it's a trial run, and it can make money. The money is not much, but it is enough to cover some of the operating expenses of the station.

In fact, the post station looks like this, and it is quite expensive. The annual attrition of horses alone is a significant expense.

Many officials whose homes are far away from the capital even urged the household department with hope: "When will there be a 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 room of the Pingxi Palace, Ruan Bai drew a line with his fingers between the capital and Xijing on the spread map. Could it be that he is alone for the New Year this year? Is his daughter-in-law missing?
