In just half a year, Beihai County has undergone tremendous changes. Bai Shan rented several relatively cheap houses in the west part of the city, mainly for weaving and making clothes for female workers, and then there were rooms for them to live in.
As more and more people come to seek refuge, and there are also some young ladies in the county who have heard the news and have the courage to come and ask for work, there are now a lot of female workers in Beihai County.
These people were originally under the control of Mr. Cui and Prime Minister Fang County, but now people are needed everywhere, especially now that they are still serving in various places.
Princess Mingda was bored while raising her baby. Yushan Hall was on the right track. All she had to do was set the rules, provide enough money and food, and hire teachers to teach the children various skills. With the former manager of Yushan Hall here, she could use
It was very rare to get her and Bai Er.
They just need to go over and take a look occasionally.
The carriage stopped in front of an alley, and the guard stepped forward and took a look and said: "Princess, the alley is too small, our car can't get in."
The palace maid got out of the car, turned around and helped Ming Da and Zhou Man down.
People in the alley saw such a gorgeous carriage for the first time, and they stood under the eaves to watch out of curiosity. However, they did not dare to get close because there were guards with knives.
The ground was a little wet. The eldest palace maid took a look and did not dare to let the princess and Zhou Man walk in such a place. She really wanted someone to use wooden boards to pad the ground. She also said to the servants in charge of exploring the road, "The princess is pregnant, and you are so negligent. If
If your feet slip, let's see if the palace cuts off your skin."
The chamberlains hurriedly bowed their heads in agreement, and hurriedly asked people to fetch wooden boards to lay them on. Then they glanced at Li Zheng who came over.
Li Zheng felt aggrieved. He was not as well-trained as the chambermaids, and he did not dare to speak out even if he had been wronged. So he bowed his waist and said to please: "My lord and princess, I have wronged you. The weaving workshop is built here."
, I followed the order of the county magistrate and had the alleys cleaned, and things are much better now. Before, let alone water, chopped vegetable leaves, roots, and anything else that was not needed at home was thrown on the road."
"Master Zhou has been here before. You know, it's much better now than before."
Zhou Man: "That's all because I did too poorly before."
Li Zheng: "...Yes, yes, I didn't do a good job before, but this time I didn't dare to neglect it. Knowing that the nobles were coming, I asked people to clean the streets early in the morning. I called two-quarters of an hour ago.
I walked through here and the road was still dry. Who knows, someone made a mistake and someone poured water on the road."
He gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Zhou, I will investigate in a moment and find out who did it. I will make them walk around without food."
Anyway, it must be the houses on the left and right, no more than six houses at most, door to door, early in the morning, someone will definitely see you.
Zhou Man asked curiously: "I found that you all like to splash water on the road. Isn't there a small ditch in the yard for drainage?"
Whether they were renting a house in Beijing or in Yizhou City, there were drainage ditches in the yard, and no one poured water on the road. If there was, it was probably because the drunkard was not drinking, and did not want to splash water, but
I just want to throw water on people.
Li Zheng smiled awkwardly and said: "Some families have it, some people don't, and some families have it, but it's not big. If something is mixed in, it will be easily blocked and difficult to get out, so..."
Anyway, the yard is only so big. When washing things in the yard, just throw them outside.
Zhou Man looked at him quietly for a while and said: "Since there is not one, let's dig one. There will be drainage ditches outside. If they are connected, they will always splash on the road, and even the best road will be damaged."
He added: "If you find someone, you don't need to punish them severely. Have you seen a few uneven potholes on this road?"
Li Zheng nodded.
"Ask them to pick up some gravel and dirt, and give these potholes to the sky. Whoever pours water or rubbish on the road will just do this in the future. In addition to cleaning the streets, they have to pick up the dirt to fill the roads themselves."
Li Zheng asked: "What if all the potholes on the road are repaired?"
"Then let them clean the road," Zhou Man said, "I heard that people from the weaving shop are cleaning this alley every day. If there are any violations in the future, they will be fined for sweeping the road for a month at a time. If the road is not cleaned enough, they will be fined again."
Li Zheng:...So cruel!
He originally wanted to fine him money, food, cloth and the like.
He turned to drink and watch the lively people, "Have you heard what the adults say? If you throw things on the road again, you will have to repair and clean this road from now on!"
The guards found a few wooden boards and placed them on the ground, and then the maids helped Princess Mingda walk through this wet section of the road.
He followed the example of Western cakes, so he reached out to help Zhou Man.
Zhou Man could walk steadily on his own, but when he saw her supporting him, he extended his hand to her.
At the end of the alley is a river, which is already downstream of the river. Because it is a weaving workshop, there are many people living there, so Bai Shan took this into consideration when renting a house.
Several rooms on the left and right were rented by them, and they happened to be at the end of the alley.
Zhou Man asked Li Zheng, "I see that the residents here are very unhappy. Why, don't they like the weaving workshop here?"
Li Zheng was afraid that Zhou Man would move the weaving workshop if he said he "didn't like it", so he quickly said: "No, adults also know that the rent paid by County Magistrate Bai is high, and it is paid for a year, so many people here
We all want to rent the house to the county government, but we can’t rent it out, so we can’t help but feel a little resentful. It’s not that we don’t like the weaving workshop, but that we like it too much.”
Not to mention Zhou Man, even Mingda was convinced by this explanation. He was stunned for a while before asking: "Where will they live after renting a house?"
"They can just rent a house elsewhere, and they can also go back to the countryside to live. If not, they can just live in a thatched shed on the open ground."
Zhou Man: "...The straw shed can be built casually? And is the rent paid by County Magistrate Bai so high? Can it actually make them prefer to rent a house instead of living out?"
Li Zheng smiled sheepishly, "It's a little more expensive than what's offered outside, but that's not what's important. What's important is that the house is rented out, and maybe the wife of the family can find a job?"
"Oh," Xi Cake said using an idiom he had just learned recently, "it turns out that the drunkard is not interested in drinking."
Li Zheng smiled awkwardly.
Zhou Mandao: "If they want to enter, they can go directly to the county government office to apply. The weaving workshop still needs people now, and it has not fully recruited people."
It was just that I went there and was not interested in it, so I came up with this idea.
However, Li Zheng didn't say anything. I don't know if this method will work. The most important thing is that they refused to obey and poured things on the road because they were jealous and unconvinced.
But he didn't dare to say this reason. What if the county government got angry and really moved the weaving workshop?
So he could only try his best to rely on the reasons he came up with. He felt that the reason he came up with was really a good one.
