As soon as the Mid-Autumn Festival passed, Mrs. Li's illness was cured, the Li family set off back to the mountain village, and Qin Hao also began to prepare to go to the college in the county seat, and only Jiangxi and the Li family were left here.

Jiang Xi let the Li family take care of the affairs in the courtyard, and he began to prepare to get the post station where the letter was sent.

First of all, it is necessary to find a shop in the town, which is not difficult for Jiangxi. She has already thought of the place, right next to her hot pot restaurant. In this way, it is easy for everyone to find, and some of them send letters, just enough to go over for a meal, and create benefits for their own shop, right?

In fact, it is the messenger and the carriage, which she has at home, whether it is a carriage or a long-term worker, there is no need to look for it. The only thing I was looking for was a gentleman who could read.

If you want to say that the county seat, it must be easier to find, after all, there are many people, and there are slightly more people who can read and write letters. Before Qin Hao went to the academy, Jiang Xi had already told him to pay attention to it a little after he got there.

If he has classmates who need to work and study, he can also be a temporary substitute, but he must recruit at least one for a long time, so as not to find someone to write and read the letter.

On this side of the town, Jiangxi is planning to recruit two, taking turns, one person in rotation for three days, and rest the rest of the time. As for the salary, it is three dollars a month. After all, literate people, no matter what, have to be treated better than ordinary people to be recruited.

Jiangxi first asked people to go to the shop, next to their hot pot restaurant, it was originally a shop that sold pastries, but now the business is not good, and they are planning to sell the shop. The money given by their family was fair, and they only talked about it for a while, and they eliminated the feeling of being squeezed by the shopkeeper, and bought the shop.

After that, Jiangxi asked people to post notices at the doors of hot pot restaurants and shops, saying that they would recruit two people who could write and read, and also wrote down the benefits. She believes that people she will know will be moved when they come here and see it.

If you work fifteen days a month, you can get three dollars of silver, which is definitely a high income in the town, and it is still leisurely.

Jiangxi originally thought that he would be able to recruit people at least in the afternoon or on the second or third day, after all, there were still too few people in the town who could read and write.

Who knows, not long after the notice was posted, someone tore down the notice and was brought to the house by the guys in the hot pot restaurant.

In the front yard, Jiang Xi looked at the old man in his fifties in front of him. Looking at the other party's demeanor, it really looks like a person who has read books, and it is not just that he can read.

Such a person would come to her to look for a job for a little silver every month, she didn't think it was realistic.

"What you say is true? Would you rather work all month long and get paid twice? ”

As soon as he came in, he said that he wanted six dollars of silver a month, and it was enough for Jiang Xi to invite him alone, and he didn't need to rest. It is these words that make Jiangxi even more strange.

With the spy who had mixed in before, Jiang Xi was particularly worried, this person also came in from the outside, the purpose was to get close to their house and find out the secret about the glass.

"Yes, girl, the little old man can't do anything else, but this writing and literacy is still successful, and the little old man will definitely be able to do a good job in this job."

"That's how you need money?"

"Yes, the little old man has to make up the money to go home. Girl, if you don't believe in Xiao Lao'er's ability, you can try Xiao Lao'er. ”

Jiang Xi shook his head: "No need, since that's the case, then you can try." But I'll tell you first, work in that shop, you can eat and rest there, and don't come here if you're fine. ”

"Of course, of course, Xiao Lao'er still understands this. And you see that my legs and feet are not handy, and I can only walk around there, and I will definitely not be able to run this way. ”

"Okay, I'll have someone take you there, you take two days off first, and then start working on the third day."

"Thank you, girl."

After the old man was taken away, Jiang Xi's eyebrows gradually frowned. Some of the words she asked just now were temptations, but the old man did not show anything unusual. If it was someone who was sent from outside, he would either be disappointed because he didn't have the opportunity to sneak into the mansion when he heard this, or he thought that he had been recognized by her, and if the old man didn't say it, there were only two situations.

One is naturally that he is not a person with ulterior intentions, and as for the second, he is too capable of pretending.

If it is one, it should be a person who is very short of money, and he is in a hurry to get the travel fee back, and it is good for her to help. That blind man Liu also said, let her do more good deeds and accumulate virtue, so that she can get rid of the evil consequences of her dominating other people's bodies.

If it's two, she's even more desperate to stay. If such a person can't be put under his nose, then he can't be reassured wherever he puts it.

The shop here has been arranged, and now it is waiting for news from Qin Hao's side, and then it can be opened.

As for the price of sending the letter, Jiang Xi had already worked out with Qin Hao.

When a letter is sent from the town to the county seat, it is given three cents and delivered every three days. If it is urgent, it depends on the situation, if it is particularly urgent, such as a major incident at home, then send it immediately, and collect money according to the conditions of the sender's family.

If it is not particularly urgent, but it is urgent, then it will be delivered on the same day, and you need to give ten times the price. Because of this, under normal circumstances, it is only done by wealthy people, so the fee will be more. Letters like this can be sent back for free after they have been sent.

As for those who can't write letters, you can add two pennies to help write a letter. Of course, if the content is relatively short, you can also only charge a penny. You don't need money to read the letter, unless it's the kind of spilling a lot, and then you have to charge another money.

In the afternoon of the next day, Jiangxi received a reply from Qin Hao, saying that the personnel in the county town had been arranged and could be ready to open at any time.

The opening time is set for the morning of the fourth day.

On the afternoon of the first day, Jiang Xi asked the most famous circus troupe within a radius of ten miles to perform at the door of the shop the next morning.

It's been a long time since the town has been so lively, and this circus troupe's performance attracted a lot of people, and everyone came out of their homes to watch. It is said that some of the empty alleys of 10,000 people have passed, but except for some merchants who are still guarding their shops, the rest of the ten miles and eight villages have rushed over to watch.

On the one hand, this is the reason why everyone usually has no entertainment, and on the other hand, it is the popularity of the circus troupe itself.

Jiangxi heard that no matter where this team went, it was crowded. For a while, they stopped at one place to perform, and countless people went to watch it every day, until a month or two later, everyone got tired of watching it. That's it, there are still a lot of iron fans to watch.

The place where the performance took place was at the entrance of the newly opened post station, so Jiang Xi simply asked people to leave a private seat on the second floor of the hot pot restaurant, and she and Li sat on it with lotus seeds and Qinghuan to watch.

Jiang Qian went to the county seat and walked with Qin Hao, but she would not stay in the county seat for long, after Qin Hao settled down and the post station opened, she had to go to the provincial capital again. After all, if the workshop has been gone for too long, someone may take advantage of it to find out something.

Jiangxi planned that after the post station here was completed, she and the Li family would also go back to the provincial capital. When the time comes, I won't take the lotus seeds with me, let her take care of them at home, and cultivate a relationship with Huzi by the way.

In the past two years, she has always taken her around, and the time she has to see Huzi is much less than the time Jiang Qian and Qin Hao have seen each other.

In this regard, Jiangxi has not told Lianzi, but now that he has said it, he is afraid that the post station has not yet opened, so he will have to coax her.

"Mother, this is a good location." Jiang Xi opened his mouth and looked down from here, and the circus troupe was directly opposite, and he could see it more clearly than anyone else.

"It's good, this location is well chosen, my mother wanted to see their circus troupe before. Before, my mother had heard of them, but I never had the opportunity, and I heard that they ran elsewhere, and they haven't been back here for many years. Thanks to you, otherwise my mother may not be able to see it in her life. ”

"Mother, since you like it, then sit here and watch slowly, and I'll go down to see how the preparations are going at the post station."

The most important thing today is the opening, and nothing else, she has to keep an eye on it to make sure there are no problems to rest assured.

Lianzi and Qinghuan were by Li's side, and the three of them watched it with relish. It wasn't until about half past ten in the morning that the circus troupe ended, followed by the announcement of the opening of the post station, which had two big words written on it: Wantong!

This name is adapted from Jiangxi's Zhongtong, Yuantong, and Nadutong in the previous life. Wantong, which means that all of them are passed, and it sounds a little more forceful.

"Wantong, this name is really domineering." Some people commented that many people walked in because of this strange shop.

"How do you send this letter?" A fair-looking little girl asked, looking inside the shop with a pair of curious eyes from just now.

Jiang Xi glanced at a young man next to him, and the young man said the set of price lists.

Everyone listened attentively, and some people suddenly realized that this was really something that could be sent. Does that mean that they will be able to send letters to their families in the county and provincial towns?

"Ladies and gentlemen, at present, we only send letters to the counties and towns in the provincial capital, of course, the county town is the fastest to send letters, and other places may be a little slower. But in the future, we will slowly develop, and we will set up post stations in the entire beam, and all places will be able to communicate with each other at that time.

If you have any relatives who are away, everyone can send a letter to them when the time comes, and the price will not be too expensive, so you will eat less money for two large meat buns.

Now, I announce the official opening of our MassMutual business! ”
