Fortunately, at the beginning of the construction, the planning of all the heating pipes was very perfect, linked into several small networks, and then the pipes were closed or disconnected because of insufficient water pressure.

Yuan Fang didn't tell anyone else about these things, he planned to let the plumbing workers of the Chamber of Commerce explore the experiment first, and then surprise everyone when it succeeded.

The next day, Yuan Fang got up to wash, and when he came to the living room on the first floor, Wan Chunya was talking to Sang Rou and them, Yuan Fang sat next to Yan Yue and asked curiously: "Chunya, what's wrong?" Who messed with you? ”

Guan Xiaoyun sat on the side and gloated and said, "Hehe, now you know how angry I am when I buy vegetables every day." ”

Yuan Fang suddenly became interested when he heard this: "What's going on, tell me." ”

Wan Chunya gritted his teeth and said: "Those guys who buy vegetables are really annoying, when they used to buy in the Prince's Mansion, they didn't say hello from afar, and the price was also pressed to the lowest, but now it's good." ”

Yuan Fang became more and more curious: "What? Those guys turned their faces and didn't recognize people? ”

Wan Chunya shook his head: "That's not it, a few of them still know me, and they were very enthusiastic at the beginning, but when I heard that we only sold a little, my attitude immediately changed, not only did I not give it cheap, but I also ignored it and turned my head to greet the city defense army, it was too annoying, and I would never go to them to buy vegetables in the future." ”

Yan Yue couldn't believe it and said: "I always thought that the farmers were very simple, but I didn't expect that the vegetable farmers are so snobbish now, alas, the people's hearts are not ancient." ”

Da Mei and Yan Yue had similar thoughts, and she was a little depressed in her heart, she couldn't understand whether Yuan Fang's economic development made the peasants rich was good or bad.

Wan Chunya was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said: "No, it's not what you think, those who sell vegetables are not vegetable farmers, how to say it, these people are businessmen, they buy from vegetable farmers, and then sell them at a higher price." ”

Yuan Fang concluded: "Oh, then these people should be regarded as vegetable merchants. ”

Wan Chunya nodded vigorously: "Yes, what my brother-in-law said is right, it is a vegetable merchant." I thought about it, brother-in-law, after the empire allocates the money, we will go directly to the surrounding villages and towns to buy vegetables directly from vegetable farmers, so that we can not only save money, but also buy fresher vegetables. ”

Yuan Fang smiled: "Chunya, you don't plan to go back to the farm?" ”

Wan Chunya was stunned: "I just said it casually." Others didn't pay attention, but Yuan Fang could see clearly the reluctance and loss in Wan Chunya's eyes just now.

Yuan Fang smiled faintly: "Chunya, although the farm is important, but it is not particularly important, if you have a suitable candidate to replace you, I welcome you back, just right, we have one less to buy, if you don't dislike it and have no future......"

Without waiting for Yuan Fang to finish speaking, Wan Chunya couldn't wait to say for fear that Yuan Fang would regret it: "I'm willing to come back, brother-in-law." ”

Yuan Fang smiled: "I know, okay, this matter is settled, I will talk to Yang Xing when I go back, you will also help take care of the farm, just like before, you stay in the imperial capital, if there is anything over there, you will go over to deal with it, in this case, you will have to wait to earn an extra salary." ”

Wan Chunya really wants to return to Yuan Fang, much like being with these sisters, but the farm is also her hard work, and it is really reluctant to hand it over to others, if it is a choice of two, Wan Chunya has proved her choice with practical actions, but if she can take care of both, it is the best result, and Yuan Fang has fulfilled her extravagant expectations.

After breakfast, while Guan Xiaoyun went to the guard camp to prepare the carriage, Yuan Fang, Sang Rou, and Jieyue went out for a walk, yesterday the workers worked overtime, and did not finish until almost dawn, after a night of work, the ground in the residential area behind the military hospital has been paved.

Walking on the flat and tidy asphalt road, Yuan Fang's mood is indescribably happy, this feeling, as if in the hometown morning exercise, the neat curbs on both sides of the road, the manhole cover that is as smooth as the ground, everything seems so kind, the fly in the ointment is the bare ground on both sides, and it will not be until the spring of next year to start sowing some flowers and plants.

Passing through the guard barracks to the military hospital, the workers are still busy, the road has been paved for the most part, with the addition of a brand new rolling mill and mixer, the progress is gradually accelerating, at this rate, it is estimated that the entire road surface of the military hospital will be completed before dinner.

Knowing that Yuan Fang was coming, Ye Tian, who had just fallen asleep, ran over, accompanied Yuan Fang for a long turn, and finally couldn't help asking: "Lord Yuan, the project of the military hospital will end today, do you think we will continue to pave the road next?" ”

Yuan Fang squinted at Ye Tian and asked suspiciously: "You are so positive, I can't help but suspect that you have ulterior motives." ”

Ye Tian was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly explained with a smile: "Lord Yuan said that he laughed, what can I do as a worker?" If you want to say that there is, that is, you want to do more work and make more money, no, it looks like the New Year will be more than a month away, and the big guy who makes more money can have a good New Year. ”

Yuan Fang wondered and asked, "You are very short of money?" You're a foreman, so you should be paid a lot, right? ”

Ye Tian was a little embarrassed to say: "It's really a lot, I'm not afraid of Lord Yuan's jokes, before I came to the Chamber of Commerce, my family made a living from farming, and I had so much income a year, and it would be good to be full, and then I came to the imperial capital and wanted to learn to do business, and I lost a few times, and almost all the things in the family were lost, and even the house was gone, and now our family is still living in my brother's house." In the past few months, I have saved some silver, and I am almost able to buy a small courtyard in the imperial capital. ”

Yuan Fang suddenly smiled and said, "Do you want to buy a house before the Chinese New Year and bring your family over to surprise them?" ”

Ye Tian nodded again and again, full of yearning: "They have suffered a lot with me over the years, and now they are better." ”

Yuan Fang interrupted Ye Tian's emotion: "How much is it missing?" ”

Ye Tian blinked blankly and replied, "There is still a road surface on the side of the orthopedic ward and surgical ward." ”

Sang Rou sneered: "Brother-in-law is not asking this, he is asking how much money you have to buy a house." ”

Ye Tian suddenly thought for a while and said: "There are still more than thirty taels of silver, and this month's salary is about twenty taels, as long as you work for another month, it is enough." ”

Yuan Fang didn't know how the Chamber of Commerce calculates wages, so it stands to reason that even if there is no work to do, workers should have the most basic wages: "If you don't work, you won't be paid?" ”

Ye Tian waved his hand: "Yes, it's almost four taels of silver a month." ”

Hearing this number, Yuan Fang couldn't help but be stunned, he didn't dare to do anything in a month, he had four taels of silver, isn't this salary a bit high, you must know that when they were in Phantom Feather City, Qin Cao and Xiaomei were tired and tired for a month, and they only earned a little more in a month, excluding the amount of food and drink, it was too much to save one or two silver a month.
