Don't make trouble, let's build infrastructure!

Around the beginning of autumn, people in several townships under the Chuzhou Prefecture found that their townships had posted official job recruitment notices.

Since the imperial court began to build cement roads (and later railways), they had more and more opportunities to work and save money.Although there are strong laborers who go out to work, the farm work at home will fall on the old people, women and children who stay behind, but the copper coins and silver they earn are real. Nowadays, many people rely on going out to build roads and build new roads. Concrete house, what's the point of working hard?

So as soon as the government's announcement came out, all the villages were boiling.

"Village Chief, please explain in detail!"

Outside Yutou Village, more than 30 villagers surrounded the notice, and the only village chief who could read was surrounded by them.

He just said that it was a government recruitment notice, and these people were as excited as if they were having a wedding at home, so much trouble that he didn't even look down.

"Quiet!" the head of Taro Village yelled, the noisy voice finally subsided a little, but his excitement was still hard to hide.

The village head of Yutou Village barely had a less noisy environment, he raised his head and focused on the notice again, and read it word by word carefully.The more I read, the more I can't suppress the excitement in my heart.

"Oh my God!" the head of Taro Village exclaimed.

"What do you mean? Village chief, tell me!" His amazement, the surrounding villagers immediately couldn't stand it any longer.

"God, God, Bodhisattva bless you, Bodhisattva bless you." The village head of Yutou Village muttered, as if to ease the surprise in his heart a little, then turned around, cleared his throat and said, "The government wants to recruit workers to build a public elementary school. .”

"Hiring!"

"Mengxue?"

"What does public mean?"

This sentence contains a lot of information. The villagers in Yutou Village are talking about it, and they only know about the recruitment.

"Ahem." The village chief coughed again, and when the voices of the villagers subsided, he said, "Beginnership is the study of enlightenment. You can learn to read, write and arithmetic. The public means that this kind of elementary school is not limited. Provide free lunch every school day."

These explanations are clearly written in the form of notes in the notice. Obviously, the government also hopes to spread the things about the elementary school through recruitment.In fact, there are elementary schools in some villages, but they only teach literacy and reading, not arithmetic, and the training is even more expensive, and most people can't afford it.

"Can I be an accountant after learning arithmetic?" asked an old man with a hoe.He didn't go to school, and he didn't know how to do arithmetic. He could count how many loads of food his family had produced. The only association he had with arithmetic was Mr. Accountant.

"It should be, the little grandson of my eldest cousin's third uncle is the accountant in the city, and he has a good plan."

The other villagers obviously only knew about arithmetic as a counting house, and they talked about how much they could earn as a counting house in the city.

In a carriage not far away, the corners of Tong Ran's mouth curled up slightly, rubbing the little tiger's furry head.

He is a mid-level man who can hear what the villagers are talking about without getting out of the car, or even lifting the curtain.

It seems that there are not a few people in the village who are interested in elementary school, so he can rest assured.

Three days after the recruitment notice was posted, Gu Lan handed over a document asking for instructions to start construction when the workers are fully recruited.Tong Ran checked to make sure there were no mistakes, and with a swipe of a pen, two elementary schools in Chuzhou Prefecture and three elementary schools outside the city broke ground at the same time.

Calculating the time, when the dozen or so gentlemen complete the training, Mengxue can almost be completed.

"Whoa, whoa!" Tong Ran finished approving the papers and just put down his pen when the little tiger ran into the room and jumped onto the desk, biting his sleeve and pulling it out.

"Understood, Zai Zai, brother, change your clothes." Tong Ran patted it on the head and got up to change clothes.

I don't know when it started, but the kid especially likes to run to the railway construction site.Because it has been repaired far away, Tong Ran will not go to the site again, but he still has to go to Chengxuan to listen to reports on the progress of the railway project.

Under his frequent beatings, the hairline of the councilor in charge of this matter retreated an inch, and the speed of construction was nearly half a month faster than expected.Soon, the section of the railway from Chuzhou Prefecture to Beijing will be officially completed.

About one third of the time is left. After listening to the report, Tong Ran calculated that it will be in time for New Year's Eve.

He was in a good mood, and took the little tiger to his home in a carriage.

"Tomorrow is the first fashion show of Chushuang Cotton Factory, let's go and see it." Tong Ran said to the little tiger in the car.

"Wow!" The little tiger called out inexplicably.

Tong Ran directly took it as the meaning of "excitement", and patted the little tiger's head with satisfaction: "Tomorrow, you must be obedient and don't scare the guests."

"Wow." The little tiger sat down on its seat, wagging its tail. How could such an elegant tiger frighten the guests?

impossible.

At the entrance of Wanghai Tea House, the carriages of the women's family members of Chuzhou Prefecture came and went, and the ladies and wives of various families who came from other places also arrived one after another.

"Wow!" The little tiger stretched his stomach and opened his mouth wide to roar.

"Cub, be quiet!" Tong Ran pinched the back of its neck.

The little cub barely shut his mouth, flicked his tail dissatisfied, and his big, round green eyes swept across the girls and wives in the audience.

Chu Shuang's clothing name is "Shuanghua", and it specializes in women's ready-to-wear. All the guests in the "Shuanghua" clothing show are women. It can be understood, but why those wives and ladies are not curious about "Shuanghua's" dresses, Instead, she frequently casts her eyes on Tong Ran?

The number one celebrity in front of His Majesty.

A genius who has reached the mid-level of the heavenly rank before becoming weaker.

No, a genius among geniuses!

Unmarried, there seems to be no marriage contract, and His Majesty has not indicated marriage.

The wives and ladies who were invited by Chu Shuang from all over the world always inadvertently glanced past Tong Ran.

Although Miss Chu's dress name "Shuanghua" is unique, it does not give them the motivation to come from the capital or even Wanghai Road. What really attracts them is that the governor of Dunan Road and Lord Marquis Tong, who was personally appointed by His Majesty, will also attend.

A young talent with a title, emperor's favor, and real power in his hands is enough to drive all the noble families below the five great noble families crazy.

It was their greatest reserve to take the opportunity to come to Chuzhou Mansion until Chu Shuang sent an invitation.

"Wow!" The little tiger roared again, scaring away a lady who was secretly looking at Tong Ran.

"Zai Zai." Tong Ran comforted it. The little boy didn't know what to do when he entered here. He wondered if he was frightened by too many people. "Let's go upstairs to the private room."

Chu Shuang hadn't arrived yet, so she should be busy in the back. Tong Ran wanted to greet her, but the performance of the little tiger made him uneasy, so he planned to go upstairs and enter the semi-closed private seat.

"Wow." The little tiger agreed very much.

However, before Tong Ran took the first step, a round-faced girl came up to meet her, and said blessedly, "Master Tong, long time no see." This girl looks joyous, with round eyes and a round face, Smiles like a cute beckoning cat.

"Long time no see. Master Tong is well." Another girl came a few steps behind and also wished Tong Ran well.This girl has a pair of beautiful phoenix eyes.

"It turned out to be Ms. Yan and Ms. Ren." Tong Ran recognized the two before him in a daze. The joyful girl was the daughter of Yan Liang, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the one with the phoenix eyes was the daughter of Ren Jin, Minister of the Ministry of Industry. They had met at Prince Yu's poetry meeting.

As soon as Yan Qiutong and Miss Ren approached, Tong Ran's eyes, which had been implicitly sweeping past Tong Ran, immediately fell on them.

The two girls also frequented various occasions, so they immediately noticed something was wrong.

"I've reserved a private seat above, so I'll go up first." Tong Ran said, in order not to cause trouble for them, he didn't invite them.

Yan and Ren, two girls who are sensible, smiled and asked Tong Ran to go first.

Tong Ran turned a corner with the little tiger in his arms, and walked up the stairs to the second floor.

After he separated from Yan Qiutong and Miss Ren, the eyes that fell on them immediately retracted a lot, and the two girls felt relieved at the same time.

Tong Ran sat on the second floor, and all kinds of sights were finally blocked by most of them.

"Wow!" Tong Ran had just sat down when the little tiger immediately jumped out of his arms and stood on the table abnormally.

This private seat is facing the stage on the first floor, with an excellent view, but the price of a good view is that you can see it from the first floor without much obstruction.

At this time, the little tiger stood on the table, and the wives and girls who peeked downstairs from time to time saw it immediately.

While he was wondering, the little tiger took a deep breath and roared with all his strength, showing two sharp fangs: "Wow——"

Its roar still smelled of milk, so it wasn't very scary, but the big, round green eyes were very piercing. The wives and girls who were swept by the tiger's eyes immediately lowered their heads, not daring to look again.

"Ahem..." The tiger cub who had shown its mighty power lay in Tong Ran's arms and coughed, and Tong Ran patted it on the back in amused and helpless way.

"Are you choking? People will see that I won't lose a piece of meat. Why are you so serious?" Tong Ran said distressedly.

"Wow...cough cough cough cough!" The little tiger coughed violently again.

"Okay, okay, stop yelling, brother, will you listen to me?" Tong Ran was so distressed that she held the little tiger in her arms and patted and coaxed him.

The little tiger coughed until its eyes were red, and it squeezed a little more into Tong Ran's arms, enjoying all of Tong Ran's attention with satisfaction.

When the little tiger's cough had almost stopped, the fashion show also started.

There are nineteen sets of dresses displayed this time, three of which are limited editions, and sixteen of which are ready-to-wear, displayed by ten young women on stage.

When preparing for this show, Chu Shuang worried for a long time about the candidates for the model.

Ordinary girls from good families don't want to do this kind of thing.And if the women in the Qinlou Chu Pavilion wear her dresses and show them off, the wives and girls will definitely not dare to buy them if they know, for fear of ruining their reputation.

In the end, she had no choice but to choose three from among herself, the head of Fu'an County, and Miss Jin's maids, and four from among the female workers in the cotton factory. I had no choice but to go into battle by myself.

Because of this, her father was so angry that his beard would fall off.

In the end, she had no choice but to guarantee that only female guests would be invited to the scene, so that she finally appeased her father's anger and reassured the participating girls.

Only a little bit.Chu Shuang comforted herself that when the fashion show became famous and more and more girls stepped onto the stage, one day they would have a big scene like Master Tong said.

Chu Shuang appeared on the stage wearing a cotton-based limited edition dress embroidered with gold and silver threads. Not a few of the audience knew her, and the audience was in an uproar.

Under the bright candlelight, she came slowly, the gold and silver threads on her body shining brightly, like a banished fairy falling from the sky.

"Wow wow wow." The little tiger who stopped coughing shook his head.

The fashion show was pretty good, no doubt it was the idea of ​​his family, Tong Ran.
