Views:

When Gu Xin led people away, he not only took away a batch of glass tea utensils and a batch of jewelry heads, but also took away the gifts that Jiang Pengji had prepared for Liu She. The gifts were not very precious, but more important than their hearts. For example, there were several sets of them. Sweaters and pants to keep out the cold, a set of multi-functional hot pot equipment, a set of equipment that integrates barbecue and barbecue, the soup base recipe and sauce recipe she copied...

When Gu Xin saw these things, his expression became a little subtle.

If it weren't for the troubled times, the small club would probably become a more powerful businessman than the old club.

Not only can he become the richest man in Dongqing, but he can even become the richest man in the five countries, and expand his industry all over Kyushu.

It's a pity that the world doesn't allow it now.

Thinking of this, Gu Xin felt more pity for Jiang Pengji.

Before leaving, he asked a question he really wanted to ask.

"That Feng Langjun... But the guest of Xiaodong's entrance?"

Jiang Pengji looked at Gu Xinshen's mysterious appearance, her saliva almost didn't choked into her lungs.

"No, Huaiyu and I are just friends of gentlemen, we are close friends, and there is no such relationship."

Jiang Pengji answered decisively, lest Gu Xin think blindly.

"Then, the little girl before that wasn't the child of the little boss?" Gu Xin asked.

She said firmly, "No, it has nothing to do with me."

Gu Xin didn't know whether it was regret or a sigh of relief, and left Xiangyang County with mixed feelings.

Because of the batch of materials brought by Gu Xin, the construction of the entire Xiangyang County has taken a big step forward. The whole city can roughly see the future prosperity of the city. Office handles business.

The busiest part of the recent period is allocating improved seeds and leasing the fields for the coming year. Fortunately, Qi Guanrang has already fully registered all household registrations, and the task is not very heavy.

"It's getting colder and colder-"

Seeing that the leaves in the courtyard were dyed yellow, Feng Jin sighed slightly.

"Every year is like this. This year has been calculated, at least fully prepared."

Qi Guanrang was accustomed to seeing all kinds of tragic situations since he was a child. To him, Xiangyang County today is like a paradise on earth, peaceful and quiet, and full of vitality. Such a grand scene can be spread all over China.

"I'm not worried about this, Jin is worried about another thing. After the winter, people may not be able to work under heavy snow... Many people in Xiangyang County rely on labor to obtain food. If there is no work in winter..." Feng Jin said After a pause here, "I can't let the county government open the warehouse to put food on it, right? It's all military food prepared for next year's spring ploughing, and it can't be moved at will..."

Feng Jin and the others knew that Jiang Pengji wanted to fight the Tsing Yi army in Fengyi County.

The recruited soldiers, together with the original imperial guards and trilogy, have reached 8,000.

Because Xiangyang County needs to hurry up to build, so from summer to late autumn, they are always helping with work, busy and busy, and when there is almost no rest, the training of the army will not be until winter. Get really strict.

Feng Jin felt a little pain in the ass. Which army is not training in good weather, but his lord would put the heaviest training in winter.

But intellectually, he can understand Jiang Pengji.

Steel tempers the will, and ice and snow forge the soul of the army.

Only a harsh environment can maximize human potential.

Regarding this issue, Qi Guanrang also privately told Jiang Pengji, and she gave a speechless solution.

Guan Rang said, "My lord told Rang about this a few days ago, and she said... It's cold in winter, so let's knit sweaters at home."

With a stiff expression, he learned Jiang Pengji's indifferent tone well.

Feng Jin was dumbfounded.

There's nothing wrong with that.

Before the beginning of autumn, all the houses in the residential areas have been completed.

Beginning in mid-September, people moved into new houses in batches.

The area of the house is up to 50 square meters, and each house is one household, and every ten households counts as a yard.

Of course, these houses are rented to the common people, and the poor families can afford it for 150 yuan a month.

In early October, the county government began to recruit women workers in large numbers and set up weaving workshops. The number of women workers expanded to 150.

The main task of the weaving workshop is to process wool and weave it into balls of yarn.

In addition, the knitting workshop also allows women with a bit of craftsmanship to learn how to knit sweaters, and to knit a sweater and wool pants of the specified size, the county government can pay 25 to 45 cents.

If the sweater has patterns and is well-knitted, there are rewards ranging from five to ten.

Of course, if men also want to do this job, the county government is happy to do so.

As for the wool balls and needles needed for knitting sweaters and trousers, each household needs to register mortgages in the knitting workshop with their real addresses, real names and the names of family members, and leave a deposit of 50 yuan.

This news is undoubtedly great news for the common people. Knitting sweaters is different from other physical work. You can stay at home, even in the coldest winter. Be a little more relaxed too.

A woman with exquisite craftsmanship can knit two sets in about three days. She has nothing to do all day, squatting at home and knitting sweaters.

In order to make more money, many men quietly steal from their wives to learn art.

The quality of the residential houses built by the county government is very guaranteed, which is not known much better than most houses that leak air from all sides.

The people responded with great confidence in the first winter after the earthquake.

The time has entered November, and the cold wind blowing has already brought a cold chill, which makes people's skin hurt.

Sweaters and pants are also officially on the market, with a set of 40 yuan for children and a set of 100 yuan for adults.

The price is really not high, but most of the people are waiting and watching, and most of the people who generously pay for it are those who have knitted sweaters and pants.

Not to mention anything else, the clothes are really warm, and the whole body is warm.

Just wear a piece of clothing outside, not afraid of the cold wind at all.

But for more than half a month, cold treasures such as sweaters and pants have swept the entire Xiangyang County.

More and more sweaters were sold, and Xu Ke, the housekeeper, looked at the ledger and almost cried.

"... Sweaters and trousers, they are sold at a loss... "

He made a careful calculation, and every time he sold a set, he would lose thirty or forty cents.

"Xiaoyu, this account can't be calculated like this."

Feng Jin tugged at the ring-shaped scarf around his neck and said with a smile, "You should also calculate how much the county government will lose if the people freeze to death. In this way, it is actually a big profit. Winter is hard, even if it is In Beijing, there are people who died in the snowstorm and severe cold."

It is a loss-making business in itself, and Jiang Pengji wants people to survive.

Entering the government affairs hall, Feng Jin hurriedly closed the door to block the wind outside, and then took off the circular scarf around his neck.

If it was before, he would definitely have to dress up and look bloated, and then cover his hood with a thick fox cloak.

It's different now. I wear a set of underwear first, then a sweater and sweater pants. I wear a slightly thicker wide-sleeved shirt and a cloak. After walking two steps, I feel hot all over my body, not to mention the warm feeling. How comfortable.
