Chapter 12: Discernment
Changgui also sighed, as a reborn person, he also felt helpless. There are countless ways to make a fortune in his head, but he can't find one that suits him now.
He didn't want to rely on his foreknowledge of the future direction to directly become a rich generation. Zong Qiu naturally didn't have to follow the path of his previous life.
Now that he is reborn, he naturally not only wants to change Zong Qiu's life, but also lives a wonderful life.
But this era really makes Changgui, a reborn person, feel powerless.
Ma Yongxing is right, just relying on a few acres of land at home to grow crops, even if you play with flowers, at most you will have enough food and clothing. There is no comparison with those in the city who eat the national food.
Not to mention the distance, even if it is just the dilapidated town of Jinshiqiao, the life of the people in the town is really one in the sky and the other on the ground compared with the farmers in Xuefeng Village.
Junwu's old chief, Zhao Guosheng, had returned to the provincial capital, he was a more pragmatic person, and although he had arranged a job, he was not in a hurry to give the command. Instead, after arriving at the unit, he quietly went to learn about his new job.
"Comrade, how much does it cost to go to Dongtang?" Zhao Guosheng is dressed today no different from ordinary citizens, because of his long military career, his skin is dark, but he looks more like an old peasant in new clothes.
The conductor glanced at Zhao Guosheng impatiently, and then lowered her head and counted the banknotes in her hand. The banknotes of this era are all one cent and two cents, one cent and two cents, and there are not many dollars and one piece.
There are a lot of zero tickets received every day, and the bus company has a special person who is responsible for counting money. Tickets for a penny have to be packed in sacks.
Conductors like these have to count zero tickets on the bus, and then tie them up with rubber bands one by one. So as not to have to spend time counting money when you get off work. The time to work is public, and the time to leave work is your own.
Zhao Guosheng saw that the conductor ignored him, and was a little displeased: "Hey, I said Comrade Conductor, can you answer my question?" ”
"Illiterate? Write such a big word, get on the bus for two minutes, and the whole process is a corner. The conductor said fiercely.
Zhao Guosheng took a closer look at the announcement that the conductor was referring to, and it was indeed clearly written. Ticket prices vary, with the lowest being two cents and the highest being a dime. There are also four, six, and 8 points. It is priced according to the distance you sit.
But in this way, it also increases the workload of the conductor. You'll have to remember which station each passenger is boarding from, and then you'll have to figure out how much each passenger will cost.
Most of the people in this era are very simple, but there is no shortage of people who are greedy for cheap from ancient times to the present.
Zhao Guosheng took out a dime and handed it to the conductor: "I'll go to Dongtang." ”
As a result, the conductor directly tore off a dime ticket for Zhao Guosheng.
"Comrade, it's only been three stops in Dongtang, how can you charge me a dime?" Zhao Guosheng's face turned cold.
"Everyone knows to give me change. You're not here to find trouble, are you? The conductor was very unhappy and pulled the dime ticket back from Zhao Guosheng's hand, tore off a four-cent ticket again, and then found six cents.
Zhao Guosheng snorted, but he didn't have a seizure on the spot.
Instead, observe the conductor's working attitude with the driver along the way.
The work of the conductor is indeed very heavy, and the more busy the road, the more people get on and off the bus. In the back, the armrests in the car were already full of people. But at every stop, there are still a lot of people desperately squeezing in.
Zhao Guosheng had no place, and he was almost stuck with the person next to him in the back. Some lesbians can only try to protect themselves, but they will inevitably stick to the opposite sex. There are always some people who are not of high quality who will take the opportunity to rub oil.
The conductor had to squeeze into the crowd to collect the ticket money, take the money and hand the ticket over.
"The ticket is collected, and if you don't have it, you have to make up the ticket."
Some passengers stick their tickets to their lips to make sure they don't lose them.
When I arrived in Dongtang, the passengers in the car got off a small half, and Zhao Guosheng also got off the car with the flow of people, and he couldn't see his feet at all, so he could only follow his feelings.
Zhao Guosheng changed the bus, and the situation was similar.
For several days in a row, Zhao Guosheng almost sat on all the buses in Lushan City.
In a few days, Zhao Guosheng has found an entry point for his work. Prepare to burn the first fire of the new official in office.
Junwu also quickly rushed to Lushan City, and as soon as he arrived at Lushan, he directly found Zhao Guosheng's house.
"I'll take care of your work. Follow me around these days, help me take care of the work at hand, and then you go to your work. "Zhao Guosheng is also a soldier who is not useful now, Wang Junwu is a veteran soldier under him, and he is a fellow countryman, and he is more trustworthy.
Junwu didn't say a word, and ran around with Zhao Guosheng.
I don't know if it's because of my luck, Junwu followed Zhao Guosheng on his first trip, and he encountered something.
"Watch your wallet and watch out for pickpockets." When the bus was about to enter the station, the conductor suddenly reminded me inexplicably. She hadn't reminded her of several stops before.
The passengers in the car are also very experienced and immediately noticeable. It must be the pickpockets who are going to get on the bus and get to work.
The conductor often runs this route, so naturally he knows the pickpockets. These pickpockets are very mobile and cannot report crimes. In addition, the conductor is also afraid of retaliation. After all, they often take this line, and if these pickpockets know that they reported the crime, they will definitely retaliate.
Several young people deliberately squeezed the train when the passengers who arrived at the station got off the train. It looks like they're in a hurry to get into the car, but in fact, their hands have been taking the opportunity to touch other people's bags. Some people have razor blades between their fingers, scratch over someone else's bag, and pull out their wallet. In summer, the pants are worn thinly, and even the skin of the person is cut, but the knife is very sharp, and the victim may not be able to feel it immediately at the moment of the cut.
These pickpockets often commit crimes in gangs, and ordinary passengers do not dare to stand up at all, but just try their best to cover their bags and not let the pickpockets get their hands on them. Ordinary pickpockets will not be too blatant, more technological, unlike some unskilled ones, who can't pick it up, so they simply change to rob.
Junwu and Zhao Guosheng both came out of the army, where are they used to seeing this phenomenon? Junwu rushed up and threw the pickpocket who was walking in front to the ground, and several wallets popped out of the pickpocket.
The pickpockets were a little panicked, thinking that they had encountered the police.
They basically know the public security in this neighborhood. However, it is not excluded that the public security of other jurisdictions will handle cases across regions. After all, they've committed crimes in other areas.
But after Junwu knocked the person down, he didn't take out the handcuffs. This can be sure that Junwu is not a police officer.
"Nosy! Look for death! Several pickpockets exchanged colors and rushed to Junwu together.
Wang Junwu and Zhao Guosheng are both good, although Zhao Guosheng is a little older, but he has been on the battlefield and seen blood. It's really not a big deal to deal with a few pickpockets.
The two of them teamed up to restrain the four pickpockets, and the fight was hearty.
"Hillbilly, you'd better be careful. When I come out, I won't have any good fruit to eat! A pickpocket threatened viciously.
"I'll talk about it when you can come out." Junwu laughed.
How long pickpockets can be locked up also has a lot to do with who catches them. Ordinary people who are brave enough to be arrested may be released after a few days, but now that Zhao Guosheng is arrested, it is impossible to come out without a few years.
Through a few days of visits, Zhao Guosheng has a more comprehensive understanding of the bus operation in Lushan City. The bus system seems to be an insignificant aspect of the provincial capital. But Zhao Guosheng doesn't think that public transportation is a trivial matter. Many citizens in Lushan City need to take the bus every day, and the bus problem can reflect the management level of a city.
Zhao Guosheng directly held an on-site meeting and brought all the officials of the transportation department to take the bus, so that they could experience the inconvenience encountered by ordinary people when they traveled.
These leaders generally have welfare housing in their units, and they don't have to take the bus to work. Especially for those like them who are leaders in the transportation department, it is very simple to go out and arrange a special car.
Junwu was also easily assigned to the transportation department by Zhao Guosheng. I don't have any position, I still work as a driver. The welfare benefits are better than the original in Jinshiqiao, I don't know how many times.
There is no one relative or friend in Lushan City, and Junwu usually goes to Zhao Guosheng's house whenever he has time to help do what he can. and the children of Zhao Guosheng's family are also very familiar.
