PFC Chapter 476 Return to the city
Chapter 476 Return to the city
When Lin Xiaofan woke up from bed early the next morning, Fengsheng had long disappeared. Presumably he was afraid of being discovered, so he left before dawn.
Several carriages slowly drove out of the capital, followed closely by two columns of guards.
Compared with when they came, these guards had experienced the baptism of several battles. There were fewer in number, but they had a bit more chilling air. People passing by could not help but shudder.
Lin Xiaofan stuck his head out of the car window, and the tall walls of the capital became smaller and smaller in his eyes. Months of experience flashed before his eyes like a fleeting tour of a horse.
Along the way, no one encountered any setbacks. Seven days later, a huge ancient town came into view.
A large plaque hangs on the top of the city, with the words "Degao Town" written in flying colors. The tall city wall is even comparable to the Nantianmen on the border.
This size is more like a city than a town.
Snowflakes fell from the sky, adding a bit of whiteness to the ancient town. Many people were walking on the streets, wrapped in thick cotton clothes and with smiles on their faces.
The weather has been good this year, and they had a bumper harvest in the fall. Not only that, the imperial court also reduced taxes by nearly half, and Magistrate Lin arranged high-priced wages for them, so that now every household in Degao County has a surplus of food.
Now that winter has arrived, many people have money on hand and are busy renovating their houses. Many new shops have also been added to the towns, which also allows many people to have work and earn wages.
Luxurious carriages drove into the ancient town. Many people on the street cast curious eyes, and some even stopped to watch.
If it were before, they would either leave in a hurry, or stop, lower their heads and bow down to salute, but they would never dare to do this.
But now the public security in Degao Town is very good. Whether you are a civilian or a powerful person, if you dare to stir up trouble and beat someone, you will have to go to the government to be punished.
Their county magistrate, Lin Xiaofan, had previously asked the eldest son of the Shen family in the capital to kowtow and admit his mistake, and even took half the life of the young master of the Tang Dynasty family. Therefore, no matter who comes from here, no one dares to cause trouble in Degao Town.
Lin Xiaofan saw that Degao Town was well governed, and he admired the abilities of Guang Wencheng and Yan Xing.
If all the places in Daqian can do this, what does the Sirius Kingdom have to fear?
Walking along, turned around a street, and saw a large workshop.
Lin Xiaofan stepped out of the carriage and looked at the workshop he had never seen before, feeling a little curious in his heart.
"Hey, what does this workshop do?"
Lin Xiaofan walked to the door and asked the guard guarding the door.
"Are you... Magistrate Lin?"
The other party stared at Lin Xiaofan for a long time and asked with some surprise.
Magistrate Lin said he was on a trip to the capital, but there was no news after that. Although Degao Town is getting better and better under the leadership of Guang Wencheng and Yan Xing, everyone has never forgotten County Magistrate Lin and has always been worried about Lin Xiaofan's safety.
Especially when they saw the Qingzhou Army passing by here again and again on their way to the capital, they understood that something was wrong in the capital.
Some people also went to the Yamen to ask, and the news they got was that Magistrate Lin is doing well now, but he will not be able to get out in a short time.
Until now, they finally met Lin Xiaofan again.
Lin Xiaofan had a smile on his face and nodded slightly.
"Magistrate Lin, you are finally back. We are worried about you. This workshop was built by your wife Liu Shishi and produces soap."
Lin Xiaofan understood that since soap was produced, this building should be built for Li Xiaoqian.
When he walked into it, he saw several soap production lines. Everyone was responsible for their own things, and there were several people in between who were responsible for transportation.
Li Xiaoqian is supervising the work nearby. If there is any mistake, she will go and say a few words.
I have to say that Li Xiaoqian has made great progress. If it had been before, I would have probably found a place to rest.
Lin Xiaofan came to the end of the production line, where the finished soap products were placed. Several female workers were working hard, loading the soaps one by one into wooden boxes.
They receive a daily salary of ten cents, and if they do well, they will receive a bonus at the end of the month. Naturally, I cherish such a good job very much.
Lin Xiaofan casually picked up a few pieces of soap and looked at them, then looked at the little witch and Xiaohan who came back together, and asked:
"Do you want?"
The little witch took it curiously, looked around, and asked:
"It smells pretty good, what's the use of it?"
The scent of this soap seems to be no worse than those expensive sachets. Moreover, it is possible to produce so much at once.
"This can be used to take a bath, wash your hair, or wash clothes. It can remove dirt from your body and your body will still smell good after washing."
Lin Xiaofan said.
When the little witch heard this, she reacted immediately, hurriedly put it in her bag, and gave the other one to Xiaohan:
"This is a good thing, keep it quickly."
She had discovered a long time ago that the people around Lin Xiaofan did not smell like sweat, but had a faint scent. And this smell is different from those perfumes, it smells very natural.
I thought it was the expensive sachet before, but now it seems that it is because of this little thing.
She would be happy to buy such a practical thing even if it cost her ten taels of silver. Look at Lin Xiaofan again. He can produce so much at one time. How much can he sell for it?
If you want to enter this workshop, you need a permit. Therefore, many female workers immediately thought that Lin Xiaofan and others were here to supervise the work and did not pay attention.
Suddenly, someone reacted and said:
"Magistrate Lin, you are back!"
As soon as the voice came out, everyone's eyes focused on her, including Li Xiaoqian.
"I'm just passing by, keep busy."
Lin Xiaofan said hello to everyone, then looked at Li Xiaoqian who was walking towards him, and praised:
"It's pretty good. It took just a few months to build this workshop to this point. How much soap can it produce in a day now?"
"It's mainly because of Sister Shishi, otherwise I definitely wouldn't be able to do this. I can produce about a thousand yuan a day."
One thousand yuan, Lin Xiaofan nodded slightly.
If one sold for ten cents, he would have dozens of taels of silver that day. And if sold to those rich people, the price may go up a lot.
"Good job. Is the soap sold out?"
Lin Xiaofan nodded in praise and then went on to understand the situation.
"We will sell some in the town for about ten cents a piece. People from the Tianchao Chamber of Commerce will occasionally take some away. Each piece can be sold for about ten taels of silver."
Li Xiaoqian opened her mouth to explain.
"Ten taels of silver?"
Lin Xiaofan was a little surprised when he heard the price. This thing cost less than two cents, and he thought that ten times the price would be the limit. Now it seems that when it comes to black heart, I am still a bit behind.
However, the Tianchao Chamber of Commerce mainly sells in Datang. As long as it does not harm the people of Daqian, then let them do whatever they want.
