The Prodigal Son's Happy Life - Chapter 1184

[Chapter 1184. What can a group of children be capable of?]

Jiang San glanced at her and said: “What else could it be? Do you know how much manpower it takes to build a new city, how much material it takes, how much money it takes, and how much time it takes.

I estimate that it will take at least Two years, in these two years, as long as nothing happens to me, I can earn two taels of silver a month.”

Wu thought for a while and nodded, with a thoughtful expression on her face.

When Jiang San saw this scene, he immediately understood what his wife was thinking and said, “Are you thinking about what will happen in two years?” When

Wu heard this, her face turned a little red and she nodded.

Jiang Sandao: “Two years later, of course there is a way to do it two years later. By that time, the dividends in the exchange may be raised again?

Even if the dividends in the exchange cannot be raised, the construction of this new city will be equivalent to It’s not possible with so many empty shops. Let’s rent a shop and sell some groceries.”

Wu heard this and asked, “Is that possible?”

Jiang San nodded and said, “Don’t worry, don’t think so much.” , Go to bed quickly, you know you have to go to the south gate.”

“Okay.” Wu nodded.

The two chatted for a while, and then remained speechless for the whole night.

The next morning, it was still dark.

Jiang San had already set off.

At this time, there were no penny carriages.

But the rickshaw drivers around here are already getting up.

I have no choice but to earn money!

The rent of this rickshaw is getting higher and higher day by day. If you want to make money, you can’t rest.

Like before, I can still live well even if I have a day off and a day of work.

But now.

There are fewer people who can afford a rickshaw.

The money given was naturally less.

Of course, this is not the biggest problem. The biggest problem is rent.

The shopkeeper of the rickshaw shop saw that the demand for rickshaws exceeded the supply, so he naturally thought of ways to increase the rent.

Anyway, even if the rent is higher than before, you still have to rent what you should rent.

If you rent, you may make less money than before, but if you don’t rent, you won’t make any money at all.

The shopkeeper of the rickshaw shop has caught the mentality of the rickshaw pullers and constantly increases the rent.

Today, it has nearly doubled compared to before.

It is impossible for these rickshaw pullers to earn as much money as they did before.

“Are you going to the South City Gate?”

Jiang San stopped a rickshaw driver and asked.

The rickshaw driver looked Jiang San up and down and said, “It’s too far. It’s so early in the morning. I don’t have such strength.”

Jiang San said, “I’ll give you an extra ten cents.”

The rickshaw driver said, “Then it has to be one. It’s a hundred cents.”

Jiang San was a little surprised: “It was only sixty cents when we arrived in the south of the city a few days ago. Why is it now ninety cents?”

“The market is different.” The rickshaw driver waved his hand. Sit down or not. If you don’t sit down, don’t delay my business. It’s not easy for anyone this early in the morning, and no one will be more comfortable.” When

Jiang San heard this, he frowned and looked around.

There don’t seem to be many rickshaw pullers left.

That’s all. If you leave by yourself, you won’t have much energy when you get to the South City Gate. If you don’t have the energy to work, you will lose more than a hundred pence.

Jiang San thought of this, took out a hundred pennies from his pocket, handed it to the rickshaw driver, and said: “Okay, one hundred pennies is one hundred pennies, faster, I have something urgent here.”

The rickshaw driver handed a hundred pennies to the rickshaw driver .

Putting the hundred coins in his arms, he said with a smile: “Don’t worry, there is no one stronger than me around here. I guarantee that I will deliver you in half an hour at most!”

It is precisely because the asphalt road covers the entire In Kyoto Prefecture, this road is much easier to walk than before, and the speed is much happier.

In the past, it would have taken nearly an hour to walk such a long road.

Now, it can be reached in just half an hour.

And that’s even while pulling someone along.

Jiang San got on the rickshaw and looked at the surrounding scenery, feeling inexplicably emotional.

The whole thing about fate is really hard to say.

If he had not chosen to walk back yesterday, but had chosen a penny carriage, he would not have known about the construction of the new city anyway, and naturally he would not have been able to stay.

However, inexplicably, he chose the one-cent carriage. Perhaps he was born to stay in Kyoto Prefecture.

Jiang San was thinking wildly and arrived at the South City Gate in a blink of an eye.

Although it was early in the morning and the sky was still a little dark, there were already many people coming and going at the city gate.

the reason is simple.

In Kyoto Prefecture today, many people simply cannot afford to live in mansions, so they can only go outside the city and find mansions in nearby villages to rent.

Then I rushed to Kyoto Prefecture every morning to work.

Come back in the evening.

Going back and forth like this wastes a lot of time, but compared to the money earned, this little time is really insignificant.

Don’t talk about them, Jiang San’s future plans are the same.

He has even found out which villages are close to Kyoto Prefecture and the location of the new city.

In this case, it would be convenient for him to go to work, and it would also be convenient for his children to go to Chengnan Liberal Arts College.

Came to the south of the city.

A bunch of people have already gathered here.

These people all registered that day and then came.

Some are masons, some are carpenters, and some are coolies.

In addition, there are a group of young people with childish faces, like half-grown children, wearing the same clothes, standing aside.

Jiang San took a look at them and instantly recognized that these were students from the Engineering College.

Someone next to him whispered in a low voice: “Did you see that group of children? They are responsible for building the new city this time. I really don’t know what the adults think, sending a group of children to do these things. Hey… Could it be that the Ministry of Industry Is there anyone left?”

The person who spoke had obviously been involved in building houses and the like.

The Ministry of Works is responsible for knowing this matter.

Jiang San glanced at him, but said: “Don’t underestimate those kids. They are right when they talk about the truth, and they are really capable. Just do what they say, and you can never make a mistake.”

Then .

When the man heard this, he glanced at Jiang San and said, “What do you do? I still don’t believe it. How powerful can a group of children be?”

Jiang San smiled and said, “I originally followed Duke An Guo. I was working as a road builder in my government, but later I stopped working because of some things. These were the same kids at that time. We, like you, looked down on these kids and thought that a group of kids could have real abilities.

Don’t tell me, these kids really do have real abilities. “

Oh? If you say that, I really have to ask, what are these kids really capable of?” The man raised his eyebrows and asked in a provocative tone.
