??“ Lord, can we put rickshaws between cities? ”

What is the road built for? The transportation is convenient, and now there is obviously a better way of transportation, but it is not cost-effective to use ox carts.

"It's the kind you use for sightseeing in Luojia Village?"

Mu Jingyi didn't think about it, that kind of car, without oxen or horses, people can run when they step on it, and the speed is not slow. The concrete road was repaired, and the best means of transportation was this rickshaw.

However, as soon as this car was launched, the livelihood of relying on ox carts to pull people and goods would be impacted, and it was not easy for these people to survive......

"Lord Wang, I understand your concerns, it's better to do this, let's try the effect of Xingcheng now, if it's good, then go to other cities to develop, if not, you should buy a lesson, what do you think?" Luo Xiaoqiao thought about the operation mode of the bus, and it was not impossible to copy it here.

"According to the distance, the city is charged a fee of one to five yuan, which should not be a big problem," she said.

"What about ox carts? What to do? The price of a penny is definitely cheaper than an ox cart, and I am afraid that the old farmer will be very injured", Qin Yan was a little worried.

"Cattle should be used for farm work, and our coachmen should give preference to those who used to drive the ox carts, and if they don't want to, they can also give other workers the opportunity to minimize the damage to them," Luo Xiaoqiao said.

"Qin Yan, you go and arrange", Mu Jingyi quickly made up his mind, no matter what kind of big things he faced, he was always decisive.

At dawn, the small traders in Xingcheng were already pushing all kinds of carts out, and they put down their stalls and set up their goods in the planned places on the streets.

?? Noodles, steamed buns, soy milk, and porridge ....... It didn't take long for both sides of the road to feel full.

?? In the cold winter, with the heat of soybean milk, the fragrance mixed with steamed buns wafted out, and the guests on the street gradually increased, such as foreign merchants, foreign envoys, honest masters at home, and down-and-out scholars...... No matter what kind of person you are, it seems that you like to choose this time to come out and buy an early.

It's as lively as ever, and everything seems to be the same.

?? The sound of hawking, quarrels, and children running around like crazy...... Everything looks so noisy, but it exudes the breath of life. This is the case every day, and the people of Xingcheng have long been accustomed to this way of life.

It's just that something seems to be wrong today.

It seems that there are a lot fewer ox carts on the road, but every short distance away, there is an extra sign.

"Xiucai, take a look, what's on this sign?" An idler asked the person next to him.

The stop sign reads "Heyilou Station", and Xiucai looked impatient.

"What do you call a stop sign?" The idler still wants to get to the bottom of it.

Before Xiu could speak, a man in the distance, with a towel around his neck, stepped on a strange car quickly.

"Guest, Heyi Tower has arrived, two cents", the man stopped the car neatly, and two people got down from the carriage, and took out the silver money very happily.

"Dad, this is really convenient, from the westernmost part of Xingcheng, it will only take a quarter of an hour, and it is cheap", the young man was a little excited.

"Isn't it? Go back and see if there's anything else and still sit on this. ”

The two men talked and walked away.

"Hey, isn't this the old Li Tou who pulls the ox cart? Old Li Tou, where is your ox cart? Don't work today? The vendor who sold chaos obviously knew him, and greeted him cheerfully and chatted.

"The ox cart is no longer pulling, see? This cart, the prince gave it, and I didn't need oxen, I pulled four or five jobs this morning, which is more than the ox cart", Lao Li wiped his sweat and said with some joy.

"Really? Why do you have a car? Can anyone pull it? "The vendors were a little envious.

"The palace over there is registered, and after inspecting the character, you can go to get the car, what kind of money do you have to pay, anyway, it's not much, I'll just try it, and there are a lot of queues."

As the two of them were talking, they saw a long rickshaw speeding towards them, shuttling through the streets and alleys......

Luo Xiaoqiao also went back in a rickshaw, chatting with Lao Li Tou all the way, feeling that this mode was okay.

"Xiao Qiao, you are back", as soon as she entered the yard, Grandma Luo put down her work and greeted her.

Someone came over every day to report to her about Luo Xiaoqiao's situation in Xingcheng, so that she would not be too worried.

Grandma Luo looked her granddaughter up and down several times, "I'm not thin, I'm not tired......"

She chattered and asked Luo Xiaoni to prepare the meal.

"Grandma, look at you, it's not like I haven't been out before", Luo Xiaoqiao looked at her with disgust.

"I've been out again, I'm also a girl, I haven't come back for so many days, can the family not worry?"

"Huh? Who is this? Luo Xiaoqiao raised her eyes and saw a little girl standing under the eaves, with her head lowered and not speaking.

"She is Aunt Wei's niece and daughter, and there is no one at home, so I don't know where I heard the news of Aunt Wei and them, so I came here." Luo Xiaoni explained with a smile, "I think she is very diligent, so I will stay and help do some work first." ”

When the girl saw Luo Xiaoqiao's eyes swept over, she suddenly became nervous and a little at a loss.

Her appearance is too careful, which is a little unbearable.

Luo Xiaoqiao pondered for a while and said, "We don't need outsiders in our yard, unless you sign a deed of sale. However, the workshop can arrange work for you, as long as you do things seriously, you will not be lost, but you can only be on the periphery, the core place, I have to use my own people. ”

Her identity is sensitive, and there are many cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods in the Northland, so it's better to be cautious.??

This? The girl under the eaves bit her lip, as if she didn't know what to do.

She didn't want to sell herself, but she really wanted to stay in the yard.

Aunt Wei also came over, she watched silently, waiting for her nephew and daughter to make a decision.

"If you can't make up your mind, go to the workshop for a few days first, and let Aunt Bao San arrange a place for you", Luo Xiaoqiao added lightly.

"The slave is willing to sell herself, and the slave is willing to serve the young lady." The little girl finally gritted her teeth and said this.

Luo Xiaoqiao's eyes deepened for a moment, and the choice she gave was actually a temptation. Which good citizen, given a choice, would be willing to sell his body?

??“ What is your name? Luo Xiaoqiao asked again.

??“ The slave maid is called Wang Xiaodong. The little girl blushed.

"Well, good. Steward Sun, it's still early, you take her to the yamen to go through the formalities", Luo Xiaoqiao has always been safe and efficient, and when the other party's details are unknown, she is not very relieved not to grasp the deed of sale.

Wei Xiaodong looked at Aunt Wei, and Aunt Wei smiled at her and nodded: "Xiaodong, don't worry, the owner is good to us." ”

So, Wang Xiaodong followed Sun Dianfu out.

At about noon, not only did Sun Dianfu lead Wang Xiaodong back, but even Luo Jinrong came over with a group of villagers.

"Little Joe......"

"Village Chief......

The sound of one after another resounded in the courtyard.

"Village Chief, is Cuiying really meticulous? What about Pusheng? Does Pusheng know? Where did the family go? Luo Erzhu was the first to lose his breath.

"She's supposed to be a good worker." Luo Xiaoqiao was a little heavy, she was also a hard-working woman.
