The children have all gone to school.
There are nurseries and kindergartens for younger children. The older children go to primary school.
I started working when I was twelve or thirteen years old after graduating from primary school. The working age was generally early in this era.
There are Mongolian and Chinese teachers in primary schools, and others learn courses such as agriculture, animal husbandry, accounting, veterinary medicine, carpentry, and blacksmithing.
After graduation, you can find a job. The courses offered are all very practical knowledge.
Yang Fan didn't want them to waste time learning knowledge they didn't need. Everything is quick and practical.
Of course if you find outstanding students. They will be sent to the new city to attend middle school. Further training at public expense.
Such people will generally become reserve officials and managers of large factories in the future. Some will go to military academies and become officers.
Without the burden of taking care of children, Mongolian women are liberated.
An additional labor force is added, which is of great significance to the family. After all, there is a big difference between one person making money and spending it on the whole family, and two people making money.
Some of the women who had a surplus worked in the animal husbandry team with their husbands, herding horses and sheep to earn work points. Some simply found new jobs in the city.
New workshops opened in the city are popping up like mushrooms after a rain.
There are various shops, restaurants, horse and carriage shops, boat shops, leather workshops, pickle factories, laundries, mills, basket weaving workshops, etc. There are many types.
Even the newly opened Gunpowder Bureau and Ordnance Repair Factory recruited female workers. Women are thoughtful, meticulous in their work, and patient. Suitable for doing delicate, tedious, boring and repetitive work.
I heard that in the future I will go to a woolen mill and weave wool into clothing.
I heard that the woolen mill needs 20,000 jobs.
After the news came out, labor prices in various workshops increased.
All the bosses and shopkeepers took the opportunity to recruit people quickly. In order to avoid later, after the woolen mill opened, a large number of people were recruited, and the remaining labor force in the city was insufficient.
As a family, both people have income, and their living standards suddenly improve.
Even some old people found jobs as warehouse janitors and morning street sweepers.
The most disadvantaged are housewives who need to take care of their babies at home. You can also receive some tasks such as paper boxes from shops, peel garlic, pickle pickles and sauerkraut in restaurants, and other jobs that can be done at home, which is still an income.
The Rex Rabbit family is a poor family on the grassland without cattle or sheep. The couple herded the sheep for the shepherd and raised a total of eight children on goat milk.
The eldest daughter is sixteen years old this year. There are also Rex Rabbit's parents and two elderly people at home.
After being captured by An Sanxi, he initially made money by doing public construction work for the Yamen. I got some skins from hunting and saved some money. A lele cart and a bucket were purchased.
The Rex Rabbit was driving a cart with a large wooden bucket on it.
It receives clear and sweet mountain spring water from the mountains more than seventy miles north. A round trip of one hundred and fifty miles, transporting the water back to the city, and selling the water to several teahouses in the city for making tea.
This job is very hard.
We will set off before dawn, arrive at the spring at noon, and start loading water. Then walk back. We can only return to the city after dark.

But the income is very good.
After working for more than half a year, as the city of Duolun gradually became prosperous, the teahouse business in the city was getting better and better. Tea brewed with spring water is much better than well water. More water is needed.
Encouraged by the Yamen Industrial and Commercial Department, he applied for a business license for Rex Rabbit Water Shop.
I took a loan from the Duolun branch of Xinghe Bank and bought three heavy-duty draft horses and a caravan with a steel structure, bearing axles, and rubber tires.
This caravan can carry seven tons of water at a time, while the original Lele can only carry half a ton of water. Transport capacity increased fourteen times.
He rented a small shop in the square and wrote the sign "Rex Rabbit Water Travel" in Mongolian and Chinese. Let my mother, wife and eldest daughter look after the store.
In addition to giving priority to the spring water supplied to teahouses and restaurants, many wealthy families in Duolun City now come to him to buy drinking water. Business is very good.
He, his father, and several older sons. Driving a caravan to transport water.
The family's seven wolfhounds followed the caravan. Along the way, he drove away the gray wolves blocking the road and in the wild.
He also bought a fire portal gun.
When you see there are too many wolves, fire a few shots to drive them away.
If you don't drive the wolves away, the wolves will frighten the horses.
If the horse goes crazy and overturns the cart, the loss will be great.
Now that the business has grown, a seven-ton water tank has been replaced. It can’t be done without a small number of people. It won’t be full for a while.
This large water tank was custom-made from Xincheng. It was riveted with open-hearth steel plates and then waterproofed. I spent a lot of money, and it makes Rex Rabbit feel sick every time I think about it. It was all a loan.
Rex Rabbit and his wife calculated that although it cost a lot of money to buy three heavy draft horses, a carriage and a water tank.
But depending on how prosperous the water element is, it will only take a year or two to pay it off. At that time, this will be a family inheritance that can be passed on to children and grandchildren.
Rex Rabbit was very thoughtful and took out a loan to buy the best spring in the mountains from the Yamen, built a pond with cement, covered it with an iron roof, and locked it up at ordinary times. It can not only monopolize the water source, but also keep the water clean.
Like Rex Rabbit, there are countless Mongolians who have quickly rediscovered their place of survival in the changing times.
They began to learn Chinese, and the same Han people also began to learn Mongolian. This makes it easier for them to do business with each other.
Now, they are used to their new life. If anyone wants them to go back to the days when they were slaves, the Mongolians will turn red-eyed, pull out their Mongolian swords, and fight him to the death.
The Mongols lived a good life. The Han people have also transformed from impoverished refugees to well-off families who go out to the fields of cattle and sheep and return home to their wives and children to warm themselves on the kang.
Today, the master led his army to fight away. The news that the Tatars and slave-building armies who came to rob were coming to Duolun City soon came, and the whole city was boiling.
As Yang Fan's cavalry entered, there were cheering crowds on both sides of the road. The militiamen maintained a tense siege order and had to use long-handled weapons to hold back the enthusiastic crowd.
Mr. Wu rode on his horse and followed the team towards the Yamen in the center of the city. Looking at the enthusiastic faces below, he said: "What the people want, the people can use it."
This time he came mainly because Yang Fan wanted to build a mansion here. Duolun is of great significance to Yang Fan's control of the grassland. It is very important to build a mansion here. Mr. Wu came to see the Feng Shui site selection and also wanted to give his opinions on the design drawings.

In this era, every major official is surrounded by some strange people who understand Feng Shui, supernatural things, deep channel magic, five elements, Zhou Yi, etc. Yang Fan is naturally no exception.
Mr. Wu has been an official and is familiar with the situation in the officialdom. He is not only a Feng Shui master, but also plays the role of master for Yang Fan. Mr. Wu is very well-educated, and Xiao Niangpi plans to hire him as a tutor when she has children.
Therefore, in Yang Fan's system, Mr. Wu has a special status and is very respected. Zhang Goda and others often come to Mr. Wu for help in calculating good or bad luck. People in this era believe this.
Yang Fan actually believed it too. Because all officials and wealthy people believe this. That's definitely not a lie. There must be good results. There is no fool among these people, and they cannot survive without the real thing.
Surrounded by everyone, the group moved into the backyard of the Yamen. The place has been tidied up and ready to welcome the master and his wife.
