The changes in Raozhou Station can be described as a thousand miles in a day.

Hu Mu said that he was a scribe, but in fact, what he did was no different from that of a miscellaneous servant.

Because of the shortage of manpower in the government office, the household registers had to be managed, the projects had to be watched, the newcomers had to be resettled, and the merchants had to be coordinated, he was not used to it at first.

However, following the Wang Si Priest every day, his feet did not touch the ground, and he didn't even have time to think too much.

Occasionally, when I have free time, I can't help but cry bitterly, and I can't understand why my father wants to come here by himself and do such a trivial thing in the eyes of scholars!

This is clearly miscellaneous work, in addition to having a formal salary.

The people who came with him heard that a cousin couldn't stand it anymore and quit his job and went back to his hometown.

The rest of the people also came to Hu Mu one after another to discuss, whether to simply give Hu Guang a book, and simply quit his job.

Hu Mu was moved, but after all, he gritted his teeth and held back.

One is afraid of being scolded by his father.

Second, he has a simple temperament, and he always feels that he can't do things in a hurry, and he still has a lot of things to take care of at this time.

The school will be built soon, this is spring, the rain is getting more, you have to hurry before the rain, hurry up to finish, now he is only staring at the construction site, there are fewer people, Wang Si is only afraid of lack of skills.

There is also a half-year-old child, who came here with his father and brother, but he can be separated from his father and brother, Hu Mu has registered him, but if he wants to do the household registration, he will still have to find his father and brother after all, if Hu Mu leaves, if the new replacement wants to be familiar with the situation, but I don't know how much time it will take.

Seeing that she was pitiful, Hu Mu begged her to let the woman be in charge of the craftsmen's clothes and repair, so that she could find a reason to give her a bite to eat.

It's just that this matter has not been settled for the time being, and we still need to wait.

There are also a few strong men from Zhili, who came here to work as laborers, and these people actually worked and studied at the same time, and they could barely read and write. It's a pity that there is still a lack of some, and it is hopeless to expect to be admitted to the railway school, so I ask Tohumu if you can find a way to pay attention to the index of labor recommendation, such a recommendation, the examination will be easier, and it is specifically aimed at the labor who works on the railway.

These people, all from a humble background, can insist on working from morning to night, only rely on the newspaper to read at night, and almost no one teaches them, Hu Mu has seen their writing, and they are also pulled, read through the newspaper in person, and can't help but admire these people.

When he was studying, of course, he had read allusions to chiseling the wall and borrowing light, but after all, he was a scholar, and he could do such a thing with such labor now, and it really happened in front of him, which was really unimaginable to him.

If he were gone, these people would inevitably have to ask for the new scribes, and the newcomers might not be willing to pay attention to the election, and perhaps the hope of these laborers would have been lost.

Hu Mudanfan had the intention of retreating, and suddenly found that he still had a thousand things at hand. Even if one is solved, it is too late to celebrate, and there will inevitably be another thing waiting for him to deal with.

So after hesitating again and again, he decided to continue to stay, and encouraged people of the same clan to stay a little longer, if they waited until the end of the year, they really couldn't adapt, and it was not too late to quit.

Most people live in groups and are affected by their moments.

In the past, when he was studying, Hu Mu only felt that he was a standard reader.

But now, mixed in these three religions and nine streams, they gradually began to influence each other.

For example, many people who deal with Hu Mu seem to have begun to imitate that Hu Mu always has a handkerchief, and they don't have a handkerchief, so they have a coarse cloth to hide on their bodies, instead of wiping their noses directly with their sleeves.

Others have also begun to learn to rinse their mouths with green salt.

Naturally, Hu Mu also began to learn to sit on the ground like ordinary people, holding lotus leaf bags of food, and feasting without regard to his image.

The dishes here are by no means clear, Hu Mu used to be afraid of fat, not like others, seeing the hairy pigskin, it seems to be the New Year!

But now, Xu is daily physical exertion is not small, and he is hungry

, but also accustomed to such heavy oil and salt meals.

If there is still a little emotion in life, Hu Mu can't have time to imagine how deep it is, and all he can think about is probably just lamenting the greasy things he disliked in the past, but in the eyes of many people, it turned out to be the delicacies of the mountains and seas.

After more than three months, the school and medical hall were finally built.

In this way, doctors who used to teach people to read or treat people in shacks and huts finally have a spacious place.

Especially the doctors who came from Zhili, all of them were overjoyed, and said again and again that this is good, and they can finally treat the disease seriously.

What they complained about in the past was that the conditions were so bad that the conditions for disinfection were not ideal, and the vast majority of wounds deteriorated from this, and the vast majority of patients were traumatic.

Therefore, they could not wait to start building a silkworm room in the new medical hall, and they heard that this place was similar to the place where eunuchs were castrated in the capital, which was to prevent wound infection.

One of Hu Mu's cousins, who was teaching here, had now moved into the new school building, and he seemed quite happy to settle down, especially when the conditions had become ideal, and he never asked to quit again.

It's strange to say that his cousin was pampered at the beginning, and when he first came, he couldn't help but complain in the face of the harsh conditions here. Now the conditions are a little better, although it is far from the clothes he used to stretch out his hands and open his mouth when he was in Jishui, but it is only slightly better than before, and he is satisfied, and he is very happy.

Of course, the biggest change among them is Hu Mu's younger brother Hu Sui.

This Hu Sui was the third in line among the brothers, the youngest, and he was originally ordered to manage the entertainment.

The so-called entertainment is actually a few grass stage teams recruited, and when it comes to the night, they start singing, and Yi Yi Ya Ya does not rest until the end of the day.

Who knew that this Hu Sui actually had the momentum, and went to write a script for this opera team, and then taught the grass stage team to sing.

Over time, he became quite famous in Raozhou.

Of course, Hu Mu is also very speechless for this third brother who is loose by nature, every time Hu Sui takes the time to come, if because of his words, after the book is sung, everyone is not satisfied, and they cheer or scold, he will be indignant and say to Hu Mu: "Second brother, you don't know how ignorant these people are."

But if it was a new script, he was called quickly, so he said with a red face: "Second brother, they still know the goods."

Of course, there was no way to complain, and he even filled himself with righteous indignation, saying, "The most fashionable thing now is to go to the sea, and the people want to be fresh." But some time ago, I wrote a poor scholar who went to sea, and on the boat, I met a young lady, who had a marriage contract because her parents had promised an official, but because she was on the boat, after meeting this poor scholar, she was not allowed to get close to each other, but she admired each other, and finally the ship encountered a storm and touched the reef when she was sheltering from the wind and waves. The ship capsized, after all, the scholar and the young lady inevitably parted with life and death, second brother, you see how good this story is, but when the big ship capsizes, the spectators will make a fuss, and they have to tear down the stage, and they will scold endlessly."

Hu Mu: "......"

Hu Sui then said, "Therefore, I have a long memory, so I have to write that after the sea, the great ship entered the ocean, and a scholar was destitute, but he followed the ship to an island, which was full of gold and treasures, and there were many beautiful women of the country, all of whom were graceful and beautiful, and all admired this scholar, and when the visitors heard this, they all clapped their hands and applauded loudly."

"Second brother, tell me, can there be no wind and waves on this sea boat? I am the country of Middle-earth, the wealth of the world is all, the overseas is all barbarians, the women are unkempt, must be ugly, not to mention the countless gold and treasures. These spectators are really unreasonable, but they prefer to listen to these, and they are still happy to do it, three or five stunning women are not enough, and they will need ten or eight ...... after that."

Hu Sui sighed and smiled bitterly.

But Hu Mu's brother, his sad face was only temporary, because soon he smiled, and within two months, some people said that he was now spending money like dirt, and he was so unhappy.

When Hu Mu heard this, he was very worried, so he hurriedly called Hu Sui and immediately asked, "What did you do?"

For this second brother, Hu Sui is also

It's a little scary.

At this time, Hu Sui's face actually flashed a trace of emptiness, and he said in a busy period, "I didn't do anything."

Hu Mu saw that he was not honest, so he said with a straight face, "Where did the silver come from? Don't talk about what the family gives, my father has always been strict with us, and he will never teach people to give you money, and your monthly salary ......."

Hu Sui hurriedly said, "I'm ...... I ......."

He opened his mouth for a long time, as if he had mustered up his courage, before he said, "I have made a friend."

Hu Mu was frightened, so he said, "What friend, what does he want you to do? Does it have anything to do with the father? You ...... the lake."

Seeing that the second brother became more and more angry, Hu Sui hurriedly said: "He gave me a lot of silver, at first, he first gave 100 taels, and later said that I had a great influence, and he would give 300 taels a month in the future......

Three hundred taels a month, and more than three thousand taels in a year, Hu Mu only heard it, and he knew that there must be something strange behind it.

So Hu Mu's face became a little more solemn, and he glared at him and said, "Where is someone giving you silver for nothing? Nothing to do, don't you understand the truth that you are not a woman or a thief? Ay...... You're a lake!"

Hu Sui saw that his second brother was really angry, so he had to explain, "I also felt strange at first! Second brother, don't complain about me, I'm not a lake worm, I naturally didn't dare to accept it at first, but later, the other party didn't ask me to help him do anything, and I also made it clear to him that my father never refused to be asked by others, and taught him to die of this heart."

Hu Sui paused, and said: "But this person said: "Actually, he only taught me a small favor, praising me for my good writing, and now not only my words are sung here in Raozhou, but even the opera troupe of Zhili has also sung them, only saying that if I write a script in the future, especially the one that goes to sea, don't make up any names like Treasure Island, just write Java." Just the last time, the book I told you about got treasures, gold and silver on the nameless island, and many beautiful women, all of them were changed to find treasures in Java......

Hu Mu: "......"

Hu Mu looked incredulous, and said with some doubts, "That's it...... Give you so much silver?"

Hu Sui nodded and said, "I don't believe it either, but the other party really gave it, not only did he give it, but he also invited me to dinner."

Hu Mu was still not at ease, and continued to ask, "Have you ever asked for anything since then?"

Hu Sui shook his head and said, "No, even if they look for me, they only encourage me to write a good book, and ...... At that time, I will introduce the proprietor of a printing workshop, and I will change my book into a romance and sell it."

Speaking of this, Hu Sui lowered his voice: "He also made a reluctant request, saying...... If someone else comes looking for him in the future, you can go to him again! In short, anything can be discussed, anything can be discussed."

Hu Mu pondered for a while, and seemed to feel that he couldn't find fault anymore, only feeling that he had hit Jishui's study, and the world was so strange and bizarre that he couldn't understand it more and more.

In the past, I only thought that Xiucai didn't go out, and he knew the world.

But in fact, I really came to Raozhou and dealt with the three religions and nine streams, these people are either from Fujian, or from Zhili, some have run a boat in the past, some have worked in a large workshop, and some have gone south and north to be foot merchants, but then I found that the things in the world are not the same as in the book.

Now I realize that the so-called knowing the world is just watching the sky from the bottom of the well.

What really shocked Hu Mu was that the railway line from Zhili to Raozhou Station was finally completed.

In fact, this line is only 100 miles long from the Zhili section to Raozhou, and it goes straight to the station, with the help of this Raozhou station, and then radiates to the entire Jiangxi.

But when the rumbling steam train really began to smoke along the tracks, from the direction of Zhili, and rumbled, Hu Mu, who was standing along the line, saw this scene, only felt that his heartbeat was jumping with the roar, and he looked at the huge steel beast in his eyes, and Tong Kong couldn't help but shrink.

And the steam train brought a carload of goods that Hu Mu couldn't imagine.

He saw with his own eyes that almost the entire warehouse of goods was loaded and unloaded, all for the supply of the construction site, as well as for the future laying

Railroad apparatus.

If this full warehouse of goods is used, I am afraid that hundreds or thousands of people will be needed, and this ...... But it was only through the steam train, and it was easily solved.

The impact of this steam locomotive made Hu Mu be in a strange state for many days, and that kind of shock seemed to stay in his mind.

In early summer, the weather gets hotter and hotter.

In this scorching summer, a carload of steam locomotives carried bags of pears and melons.

All of them were planted in the farm, and a lot of them were picked, and they were given priority to Raozhou Station, and they were specially condoled.

In fact, even if there are a lot of pears and melons sent, in fact, there are many people up and down this Raozhou station, and everyone can only try two or three.

However, up and down the construction site, it is particularly festive.

Everyone has a salary, and they can eat and drink enough, but they are not hungry for a few melons, but this sudden surprise, as well as those big people in Zhili, still remember themselves, and they always can't help but be happy.

At this time, Hu Mu has actually completely integrated into this small world.

Today is surprisingly strange, the king secretary has not been seen all morning, until noon, but he came to see Hu Mu with a pot of wine.

He said to Hu Mu with a smile: "After eating later, bring it back, come here to eat, and drink two cups with me by the way."

"This ......," Hu Mu looked at the priest in surprise and said, "I'm afraid it's not right."

Priest Wang was obviously in a good mood, and smiled: "I'm not drunk, not to mention that in the afternoon, I'm going to leave for Nanchang Mansion."

"Ah......" Hu Mu said in surprise, "Go to Nanchang Mansion, you ...... This is ......."

Wang Si said happily: "The news that the Railway Division has just come, Nanchang Station is about to start preparations, and the backbone will be dispatched to coordinate first. The world is urgent, and we will leave in the afternoon."

After hearing this, Hu Mu couldn't help but say congratulations, and was sincerely happy for the royal secretary.

The main book in this station, the comparison may only be from the seventh grade, and the one who received it is also from the seventh grade, and now it is the time for the railway division to employ people, so there are many things that are exceptionally promoted.

Don't look at it as just a station's master book, but in fact, the Nanchang Mansion corresponding to Nanchang Station may only be under the jurisdiction of the Nanchang Mansion's railway line, but it is also in charge of the civil affairs, military administration, education, criminal and transportation affairs along the coast, and it is only under the jurisdiction of the Jiangxi Railway Division, not the Jiangxi Chengxuan Political Envoy Department and the Nanchang Mansion, which can be described as hot.

At this time, the priest sighed and said, "Isn't this a shortage of people? What is there to congratulate? This time, it is to overcome obstacles, and everything is difficult at the beginning. And also...... I also asked about the candidates for this official, and now there is a shortage of manpower, and they are also stretched, so I recommended you, and they also promised to inspect and see. If nothing goes wrong, maybe you'll be on top of me. In the future, there will be Ji'an Station, Ruizhou Station, and Jiujiang Station, maybe one day, you and I can still work together!"

Hu Mu's heart was hot, he opened his mouth to say something, in the past half a year, he was almost guided by the Wang Si Official, and he learned a lot from the Wang Si Official, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is his teacher, in the face of the sudden parting, and the possible new job, he has an indescribable feeling in his heart.

In the end, he still suppressed his complicated feelings, and immediately, he took a deep breath and said, "I'll go to eat first."

The two drank some wine at noon, talked a lot, and waited until suddenly

There was a car to pick up the king's officials.

Hu Mu hurriedly sent the Wang Si out of the office, this is a modified cart, which was originally loaded with goods, but now it is used for both passengers and goods, and the bumps are bumpy, but they are better than walking.

The royal official was about to board the car, and suddenly turned around and saw Hu Mu about to salute.

The priest grabbed his hand and suddenly said, "Work hard."

Hu Mu said sincerely, "Cherish!"
