I want to be emperor

Chapter 842
On December 35th, 28th year of Chengshun, when the Spring Festival was approaching, there was snowflakes in Songjiang City...

However, the snow was not heavy. There were a few small snowflakes in the morning, and after the sun came out in the morning, the little snow on the ground had completely disappeared.

To Sun Xu, who was born in the Northwest, this kind of weather was nothing to Sun Xu... When it snowed in his hometown in winter, it was really feather-like snowflakes flying all over the sky, covering the whole land in snow-white.

After waking up in the morning, Sun Xu started to change clothes and get ready to go to work.

Fa Xiao Sun Dawei, who lived with him, had already taken the train home two days ago. I heard that the business of the glass window where Fa Xiao worked was so-so, so the boss simply took the holiday early at the end of the year and gave The Spring Festival holiday lasted for half a month.

Fa Xiao Sun Dawei hasn't been back to his hometown for two years, so he took this opportunity to pack his bags and prepare to go back to his hometown for the New Year.

However, Sun Xu will not be able to go home this year. Anhua Spinning Factory, where he has just joined, is currently busy upgrading equipment. Sun Xu and other mechanics have been busy recently assisting the equipment manufacturer. Engineers come to install and debug the equipment, and while assisting in the installation, they are also constantly learning about these mechanical equipment, making technical reserves for subsequent independent maintenance and simple repairs.

Under such circumstances, ordinary workers and ordinary administrative staff in Anhua Textile Company can take vacations, but the Spring Festival holidays for these technicians, not to mention all wasted, but there are only three days left, and they have to take turns.

Fortunately, the boss is generous and promises to pay double the salary for all overtime work during the Spring Festival, and will also give extra subsidies.

Calculating this, I can earn several yuan on the Spring Festival deck, which is almost equivalent to a month's salary when I used to work in my hometown.

So he is willing to work overtime even during the Spring Festival holiday!
The extra money I earn in these few days can pay the rent for several months.

He is now renting together with Fa Xiao Sun Dawei. Fa Xiao Sun Dawei originally rented the house here for a month, and he felt that the burden was a bit heavy. After all, Sun Dawei’s salary is only about seven yuan on average, and he usually spends money lavishly. I also like to go to entertainment venues to eat, drink and have fun, and the money in my pocket is also tight.

It happened that Sun Xu did not live in the dormitory provided by the factory after finding a job, so he simply invited Sun Xu to live with him to share the rent.

This was exactly what Sun Xu wanted. Originally, he was thinking of finding a suitable house to rent in this building or next door.

It's even better if you continue to live here now!

Occasionally, I can still see the female neighbor next door.

In fact, in the past 20 days, he didn't have much contact with the female neighbor next door, and he didn't even know the specific name. He only met again when he went upstairs, and introduced himself when he simply said hello. Only then did I know that the other party's surname was Meng.

As for the name, they didn't say anything, and it was hard for Sun Xu to ask.

Although I can only meet once in a while, Sun Xu thinks it's pretty good...

-

After simply changing into his work clothes, he thought that it would be colder outside if it snowed today, and it might still snow at night, so he turned around and took a long duffel coat to put on.

He put on another pair of black leather gloves, put on long leather boots, put on a small black wide-brimmed hat for himself before going out, and took a black umbrella.

After tidying up, he opened the door and went out.

As soon as the door was opened, there was a soft knock from the door next door. Looking up slightly, she saw Miss Meng also opened the door and came out.

I saw that she was wearing a creamy yellow long wool coat, and under the coat was a pink skirt, but it was covered by the coat and she couldn't see clearly.

On his head was a purple embroidered wide-brimmed silk hat, and in his hands were the same purple leather gloves.

Just like when Sun Xu saw her a few times in the past, she was dressed in the exquisite and decent style unique to young urban women of this era. Such a long coat, gauze hat and gloves were rarely seen in Sun Xu's old home before. But in Songjiang City, you can see it more, and decent women on the street basically wear it like this.

In winter, coats, hats and gloves, these are almost three-piece sets that decent women in Songjiang City must go out with!
In fact... men are similar. When many men go out, coats, hats and gloves are necessary, and they are even more popular. Even ordinary salaried men mostly wear them like this, such as Sun Xu now.

It’s just that the clothes between men and women seem to have similarities, but in fact there is a big gap, because when men wear this way, they are almost all professional attire... and the color of the clothes is generally very monotonous, and almost all of them are black. , even cyan, brown these are less.

The color is the same, and the style is almost the same... Business wear is originally a style, so in the contemporary Great Chu Empire, the men on the streets of Songjiang actually wear the same style and color. Of course, there are still differences in the fabric and workmanship. huge gap.

Wearing business clothes made of fine cashmere and cloth business clothes...there is a big difference between the two.

However, women's clothes are much brighter, with various colors and styles... and there are many styles of skirts under the coat.

Sun Xu passed by a hat shop, where men's hats were all the same... but women's hats were of more styles.

During the more than 30 years of the rise of the Great Chu Empire, great changes have taken place in all aspects of the society of the Great Chu Empire, and the same is true in clothing.

In fact, there are relatively few changes in men's clothing, except for the addition of professional attire. In addition, there are some new labor attires, which are basically for the convenience of work... Even the business attire is actually for the convenience of work .

For example, Sun Xu, who deals with machinery every day, you can't let him wear a large and elegant traditional Hanfu to toss around the machine, no, it is easy to cause various accidents.

So Sun Xu goes to work on weekdays, wearing tops and pants, professional attire that is convenient for work. Traditional Hanfu is generally only worn on formal occasions, especially some traditional occasions.

For example, if he returns to his hometown to celebrate the New Year, he must be wearing a good silk Hanfu during the New Year.

Wearing professional attire during work, and Hanfu at home or in formal ceremonial occasions, this is a consensus formed over the years in the society of the Great Chu Empire on men's clothing.

As for women's clothing, it is much more casual... As a result, women's clothing changes greatly, and it changes almost every few years, and many of the styles are still passed down from the Ouchi Imperial Palace.

For example, modern-style women's underwear, which was passed down from the harem, first spread to the upper-class female family members of the empire, then gradually sank, and finally has become a very popular thing now.

There are also some improved and close-fitting Hanfu, which were also handed down from the imperial palace at first, and then quickly became popular all over the country.

What, the so-called Hanfu in the style of film and television dramas of later generations, although they are heresies in the eyes of orthodox Hanfu lovers, but it is undeniable that most of them are quite good-looking.

There are also some modern style clothes that have been handed down from the palace one after another, such as women's high-heeled shoes, silk stockings, suspender skirts and the like...

And these costumes with obvious original time and space characteristics, regardless of men's and women's... In fact, the source comes from Luo Zhixue.

Luo Zhixue himself is a modern person, he has normal aesthetics of modern people, and he couldn't control him.

In the early years, he was obsessed with the clothes worn by modern warlord leaders, and he wore a unique modern military uniform every day, which eventually evolved into military uniforms, and later into professional attire.

Later, he also liked to wear blue Confucian clothes in his daily life...so much so that the formal daily attire of officials is still this kind of blue Confucian clothes.

In the past two years, Luo Zhixue has become more and more nostalgic for many things from his previous life, and has made some messy things such as modern-style female sailor uniforms and cheongsams, and these things will inevitably gradually flow out of the palace and appear in society in the end .

It's just that some things conform to the aesthetics and traditional concepts of contemporary Chu people, and will be more popular, while some things don't conform, so they may only spread in a small area...

Of course, you don't know if you wear a lot of things... After all, you can't peel off a woman's skirt on the street to see what the underwear looks like inside.

If you do this, you will go to jail.

Sun Xu took a brief look at Ms. Meng in front of him, but he didn't look too close to him impolitely. After a brief glance, he bowed slightly and nodded, and at the same time said in a greeting tone: "Miss Meng, are you also at work?"

Miss Meng on the opposite side nodded lightly: "Yeah!"

In the few brief exchanges with her before, Sun Xu learned from her that this woman works in a department store... the distance is quite far.

It's just that I don't know what to do specifically and other things.

The two of them haven't gotten to know each other enough to chat casually and talk about everything. Being able to say what their last name is and what they do is basically the biggest recognition among neighbors.

Little Sun Dawei has lived here for several months, and has met Ms. Meng many times, but he still doesn't know her last name...

Every time we see each other, it's just a polite nod to say hello at most.

After a brief greeting, Sun Xu actually wanted to say a few more words, but he didn't know what to say for a while...

Ever since, there were only two people one behind the other, the creaking sound of stepping on the wooden stairs echoed in the stairwell.

After going downstairs and opening the door of the apartment, the cold wind from outside rushed in instantly, making Sun Xu shiver uncontrollably.

Subconsciously looked at Ms. Meng who was behind her, she seemed to be trembling a little... Immediately, she said something more: "It's windy outside and it's quite cold, Ms. Meng should pay more attention on the road!"

Miss Meng looked up and said, "It's okay, I'm dressed warmly!"

As he spoke, he pointed to the lapel on his coat. It was a fur lapel. Sun Xu took a look at her coat. It should be made of high-quality wool on the outside. The fur coat on the inside is rougher than his own coat. The material, the coat with only one layer of fine fleece inside is much better.

Standing against the wind and walking on the street, Sun Xu couldn't help turning his head to look at Miss Meng who was walking behind him, and seeing that she really didn't look cold, he was a little relieved.

Soon I arrived at the bus stop at the intersection of the street. Sun Xu was waiting for the bus. The place where he lives now is not too far from Anhua Textile Factory. If you take the No.12 public carriage, you can get there in about two quarters of an hour without traffic jams. , the ticket price is not expensive, and it only costs eight coins for a single trip.

Even if he took a public carriage to and fro every day, it would cost more than 400 Wen in a month, which was completely within Sun Xu's tolerance.

At this time, Ms. Meng beside her took two steps forward, stood on the side of the road and waved to the front, and soon a two-wheeled taxi with the signboard of "empty" came towards the public platform .

Miss Meng turned slightly and said to Sun Xu, "I'll go first!"

Sun Xu responded, "Okay."

As he said that, he took a step forward and opened the door of the carriage for her in front of the parked carriage: "Be careful when getting in the carriage!"

After Ms. Meng thanked her first, she got into the car.

Watching the carriage go away again, Sun Xu showed a smile on his face!
When he got on the public carriage and started to be crowded with people, the smile on his face never stopped.

Now is the rush hour for commuting in the morning, and there are a lot of people on the No. 12 carriage. This medium-sized public four-wheeled carriage that can carry sixteen passengers is already full after adding Sun Xu.

After Sun Xu paid the fare, he dragged his body and squeezed in, and then sat in a seat, but sitting next to him was a middle-aged man who was also wearing professional attire and was a bit fat, so that Sun Xu Sitting is more uncomfortable.

But he didn't say anything... After all, you can't say that someone is too fat, and then occupy his space, right?

This person squeezed people out, and with the carriage gently swaying all the way, he finally reached the platform where he got off. Sun Xu tidied his clothes a little after getting off the car. The clothes looked a little wrinkled just now.

At this time, I couldn't help but think that someone in the carriage said that I heard that the government is planning to build a city train, and the route map has already been released. At that time, they will also have it in Xicheng District, and the route just passes by me. Xicheng Industrial Zone where I live and work.

I heard that the passenger capacity of the city train is very large. If you take the city train to and from get off work by yourself, it should not be so crowded.

It's just that he also knows that the city trains are too far away, and he will have to continue to squeeze the No. 12 public carriage to and from get off work in the future.

However, he also heard a novel a few days ago, saying that a new kind of two-wheeled bicycle appeared, which can be walked by itself, which is convenient and fast.

He is very interested in this kind of bicycle, thinking that if it is not too expensive and it is really easy to use, he will see if he can buy one.

But if it is too expensive, it will not work. His family is still waiting for him to send the money back.

With many messy thoughts, Sun Xu arrived at Anhua Textile Factory and started his day-to-day working life.

At the same time, Wang Liqing, the general manager of Anhua Textile Factory, also came out of his single-family compound in the suburbs, and was preparing to go to work in the factory in his own four-wheeled private carriage.

Through the glass window of the carriage, he saw his wife standing on the balcony with his seven-year-old daughter in his arms. The younger daughter seemed to see him looking at them and waving at him.

A smile appeared on Wang Liqing's face immediately, and he waved at them, wondering if they could see through the window of the carriage.

After the private carriage left the compound and got onto the community asphalt road outside, Wang Liqing closed his eyes slightly and began to think about many things at work.

Now that the equipment has been in place one after another, Guangsheng Textile Company, a strategic partnership, has officially placed an order, and is waiting for the official start of the new year to produce new cotton yarn with new equipment.

Only the installation and commissioning of equipment and the training of technical personnel will take time.

Time is pressing now!

Rao is his boss, who has to go to the factory in person every day at the end of the year. On the one hand, he is watching and urging the engineers to stop being lazy and work quickly!
On the other hand, I sit in the town personally and solve some problems at any time.

Finally, it is also to make a statement to the engineers who are still working overtime during the Chinese New Year: you work overtime, and my boss also works overtime, not that you are working hard overtime, but my boss is lying at home and sleeping.

Anyway, let's do it together!

The money is sufficient, the attitude is good, and all kinds of logistic support are also in place. This is the reason why Anhua Textile Co., Ltd. can still make a group of employees willing to work overtime when other companies are basically on holiday.

You must know that these employees are not ordinary workers, they are basically technicians in the factory, and many of them are formal engineers with high education, the technical backbone of the factory.

These technical backbones are definitely not as rich as Wang Liqing in terms of social status, but compared to ordinary people, they are all decent people with middle and high incomes. After all, even ordinary technicians like Sun Xu earn about three times the salary of ordinary workers. , not to mention those technical backbones.

If you don't give enough treatment and face, and want to force people to work overtime during the Spring Festival, they will show you every minute...the installation and commissioning of the equipment will be a problem at that time, let alone the official production after the new year.

Naturally, Wang Liqing is very aware of these things, after all he himself has risen from the bottom, and he knows the thoughts of many people under him very well.

Therefore, for some real technical backbones, Wang Liqing is very willing to spend money to win them over. The money is sufficient, and he is usually polite, at least on the surface, with the appearance of a corporal...

Of course, this kind of good attitude is only limited to the technical backbone. As for the ordinary clerical staff and the ordinary employees on the production line, it is natural that they can do whatever they want.

Thinking about many things in the factory, Wang Liqing's private carriage quickly left the spacious asphalt road in the community with few cars, and when it reached the public road, the speed of the carriage gradually slowed down.

Today is the morning rush hour, there are many kinds of carriages on the road, public carriages, freight carriages and more private carriages, rental carriages, etc., on the street next to each other, from time to time there will be pedestrians directly Crossing the carriage, the speed of the vehicle was further reduced.

Wang Liqing was already used to this.

Basically every weekday morning there is a traffic jam like this...

In Songjiang City, traffic jams are the norm... Otherwise, why would the Songjiang magistrate Yamen want to build city trains? Isn't it because the traffic jams in Songjiang City are too severe!
