People are building infrastructure in another world

Chapter 169 (Five Thousand Great Chapters)
Every child in Taylor can get a number as long as they go to the door of the toy store.

If you receive it repeatedly, you will lose your qualification for the lottery.

Draw once a week, as long as you win, you can have a toy prize.

Known as "Aurora's Surprise Gift".

In this way, she not only wins over the hearts of rich children, but also wins over those who have no money.

Such prizes are undoubtedly very tempting for poor children
The children who live nearby come to get one every week.

In remote areas, parents bring their children’s identity certificates. The prizes are less important, and the most important thing is to get the lottery tickets that the children are looking forward to. If this process is not done, the children may be depressed and lost for a whole week.

……

Capa was recently assigned to be responsible for the construction of the medical system in Tyler Central City. He couldn't help but smile tenderly when he saw the toy store across the street crowded with laughing children.

"Madam always knows how to bring joy to children." A special number distribution point was set up in the alley next to the shop for fear that poor children would not dare to come forward to get the lottery numbers.

Lacey took a sip of tea and ate a snack, "Everything Madam does has deep meaning."

They were sitting in the tea house opposite the toy store, Lacey also brought his wife and children, and it was rare to have a leisurely meal.

The decent appearance and conversation made the two look like unattainable nobles.

Capa ate a mouthful of hash browns, which were crispy and delicious, not greasy, which suited his taste very well.

Recently, he was so busy that he didn't even have time to take a bite of bread. The first bite of today's meal already made people feel happy.

Capa didn't quite understand what Lacey meant, and asked, "What deep meaning can Madam have?"

Lacey told Capa her thoughts, "Children before the age of ten have the best memory. I read a psychological book that said that when a child has basic cognition, they will be curious about the outside world, and their full energy , are almost exploring the outside world. If there is something that can impress them in childhood, it will be with them for a lifetime."

"If a poor child wins the lottery, it must be his first expensive toy. Even if he doesn't win the lottery, he will naturally have a good impression of Aurora."

Needless to say, the children will like her very much for a long time in the future.

When you grow up, it will be easier to trust the person you liked when you were young.

Capa: "..."

He has been Aurora's student for so long, so he understands Aurora's personality. She is smart, clear-headed, has a good plan for the future, and has scheming methods.

But not, really not.

It feels like Lacey is overinterpreting Aurora's meaning.

The thinking of other nobles is actually similar to that of Lacey.

Everyone thought that Aurora was going to make a big move, so she wanted to buy people's hearts.

As for children, they don't have such complicated ideas as adults.

After all, Aurora stipulates that toys cannot be resold.

This is a gift for the child. If it is found to be resold, Aurora will recover the money due from the "gift".

Regular visits, anyway, the toy store and the police are "one family". When patrolling, you can check whether the toy is still in the child's hands.

The rules set by Aurora are so "dominant".

It's free, and if you win the lottery, you can play it for your children. Many parents have no choice but to accept such overlord terms.

Today is the day of the lottery draw, and the clerk posted the list of winners at the door.

The father of a child does not know how to read, but he came to draw a lottery two days ago. When he asked who the winner was, the clerk patiently asked, "What is your lottery number."

His clothes were a little torn, but they were washed white, and he looked clean.

Handing over the number in his hand, the clerk smiled and said, "Congratulations, the child with this number has won the prize. Do you have his name and ID number?"

"Yes." The child's father quickly showed the child's ID card to the store clerk. After matching the information, the store clerk told him that if he brought his child tomorrow, he would get the gift.

The man was ecstatic, "Really free of money? You can get it if you really bring your child."

The clerk still had a decent smile: "Yes, if you don't believe it, you can ask other people who have won the award. We, the Duchess, do what we say, free means free, and we will never cheat customers."

The man returned home with a feeling of apprehension and surprise. His wife and children had cooked dinner and waited for him.

It was dark, and the room was dimly lit, lit by a little fire in the fireplace.

The man put down the basket, and the family had eaten black bread, which was fermented, a little soft buns.

Since the Duke of Taylor took over Taylor Zhongdu, farmers in the surrounding suburbs have been much better off. Taxes have been reduced, the burden is not so heavy, and they can afford "soft bread".

After eating the bread, the man said: "Tomorrow, Little Bee (the child's nickname) will go to the city with me."

The wife said nervously: "What's the matter? There is still some money at home, so there is no need to bring the little bee into the city. I won't allow it, we can still live on."

The former capital city of Tyler.That is, Longwei City, full of dark business.

And to enter the city to charge a high fee to enter the city.

Bringing children into the city is usually for the purpose of selling them. Children in the age group of Little Bee are the best for sale. They are about ten years old, innocent, but have a certain ability to work.

The wife doesn't understand.

How come the family situation is getting better and you have to bring it into the city.

And she firmly disagrees with how much a child is worth.

"How do you compare me with men from other families? No matter how hard I am, I have never thought of selling you. There is only one child in the family, why should I sell him? Duke Taylor does not allow free men to be traded into slaves, so Don't worry. I'll take him into the city to get the prize." The man's rough voice contained a trace of tenderness.

The boy raised his head and said in surprise, "Dad, did I win the lottery? Did I really win the lottery?"

"Really, I can get it tomorrow." The man was also very happy, since he had no toys when he was a child, the most he could do was carve a puppet out of wood.

He had seen the colored tin soldiers in the hands of the noble young master, and he had always wanted it very much, but it was too expensive. At that time, he even had to break a few pieces of black bread to eat.

Parents simply can't afford to buy him a toy like that.

Although he doesn't have the money to buy it now, he won the lottery.

He didn't want his son to leave this regret, and he would definitely bring it back.

The wife was still kept in the dark, not knowing what the father and son were talking about, "What are you talking about?"

The man told her about the lottery.

The wife doubted: "Is there any pretext to deceive people? Passing businessmen said that the Taylor family is a freak, difficult to get along with, and especially likes to oppress people. If it is not for the help of a powerful alchemist, it will not be able to develop. This altitude."

Nobles are the most proficient at making money, and she is frightened by the darkness of the Duke of Longwy's reign.

There was a lot of turmoil inside and outside the city. There were fights inside the city and disappearances outside the city every day. They were terrified every day, fearing that their children would disappear for no reason.

The Taylor family is rumored to be freaks, and there must be something weird about it.

Especially asking them to clean the house, catch mice and burn it, from the point of view of all civilians, it is already weird enough.

"It's not a shameless aristocrat like the Duke of Longwei." Although the man doesn't understand the disputes among the aristocrats, he doesn't even understand the definition of good or bad aristocrats in other people's mouths.

Simply, I feel that the environment is better.

He went to the city a few times, and the doors of the closed shops reopened for business, and there were many outsiders in the city. Duke Taylor must be responsible for this.

If the announcement says tax cuts, the tax cuts will be real, and there will be no other superfluous tricks.

"Mom, it's true. A girl from the family that raised two sheep across a small bridge ten miles away won a lottery. She won a small music box. It is said that it costs thirty silver dollars a piece. Mr. It's expensive. But the noble master said that he is not allowed to resell it, it was given to his children, and he may come to check it later, so the family didn't sell it."

The wife took a deep breath, thirty silvers, how good it was to sell it, she said seriously: "How do you know? You sneaked to their village?"

The boy lowered his head, not daring to say that he really ran over to see it.

"How many times do you want me to say, don't run out of the village? If you run out and disappear, it will be useless no matter how much money we make."

The boy was guilty too, but he really wanted to see that delicate toy.

The children in that village are all proud of having such a toy in their village. "Don't scold the child. There will be a new toy tomorrow. You don't need to look at other people's. It is true that you can't sell it. If you sell it, they will ask you to pay back the original price. If you can't make it up, don't even think about making money. I already have it." Way, you just need to take care of this house."

"You guys really pissed me off."

Early the next morning, the boy followed the man to the city.

The ground in the city has been washed and wiped clean, and now every person in the shop is responsible for cleaning a certain area.Then there are cleaners who collect garbage every day and transport the accumulated garbage to the outside of the city for sorting.

The boy stepped on the road wearing the only old leather shoes, "Dad, do you want to lose money for stepping on the dirty road?"

"No, there is only dirt on your shoes, and you will be required to pay for things that you can't get rid of deliberately on the floor. But you can't throw garbage in the city, and you can't spit. Remember it well." The father's instructions, the boy listened very serious.

The boy came to the city for the first time, and everything in the city was new.

Earth dragons with flowers in their ears, magicians wearing magic robes and shopping with baskets, policemen and knights patrolling the city, and the most amazing thing is that almost every street in the city has restaurants and bakeries. Everywhere, you can smell the fragrance.

Some shops also sell cute little monsters, but the price is so expensive that they can't afford it.

After walking for about an hour, they arrived in front of the toy store.

There is also a flying broom store next to the toy store.

The cool flying broom is placed in front of the transparent window, and no child can resist its charm.

The boy stared blankly,

The man is also full of hope. It would be great if he can enter the knight order, or enter the police station as a handyman and cleaner.I heard that the flying broom can be unlocked, and if the police are free, they will teach the people in the bureau to ride it.

Flying in the air must be every man's dream.

The man asked the boy to take a closer look.

The all-black flying broom, streamlined broom handle, and a warm-colored lamp hanging behind the broom, the boy stared at it dazzledly.

Then I heard the child next to me introduce to other children: "Do you know what the light behind the broom is for?"

Every child immediately turned to look at him. This kid was taller, but his baby-fat face showed that he was not far from them in age.

The little ones are curious about the answer, and if they know what the light hanging on the back of the broom is for, they can show it off to other kids.

The child raised his chest miraculously and said: "The flying brooms sold here are all sold as means of transportation for ordinary people, so the speed is limited. Many people like to drive at night because they are afraid of the birds flying in the sky at night or other people with flying brooms. The people couldn't see themselves, and then slammed into each other, so I thought of getting a lamp behind."

He spoke clearly and logically.

"The person who proposed it must be very smart."

"That's right, I think he's smart too." The kid was dressed in well-cut clothes and brand new leather shoes, and his family background should be not bad.

The other children clapped their hands, "So that's how it is. That's great. The person flying in the sky looks like a shooting star, right?"

"Have you ever ridden?"

"Does anyone in your family ride a flying broomstick?"

The children asked questions one after another.

"Little kid, don't blow it up, come back." A handsome big brother in a long trench coat stepped forward, holding the kid by the collar, did you read the math book that your wife asked you to read?The purpose of bringing you out is to let you see the outside environment, don't close your doors.Not for you to come and show off.Dick is already reading the new code book, you are still lazy here, when I go back, I will sue my wife. "It was Capa who came to pick him up.

The one he was carrying was a short prick who had grown a lot taller, but he was still very short among all the brothers and sisters.

Among the children, he looked tall and strong again.

"Brother, brother, don't tear my clothes. These are silk cotton clothes my wife rewarded me. They are so expensive. What if they are torn?" Little Shorty pouts, "I am so old that I am surrounded by smart people every day. , I can’t grow taller because of the pressure. What’s the matter with showing off, that lamp is still my idea. I just like bragging.”

Capa stopped carrying his clothes, and changed to holding his ears, "When you can match the knowledge of your wife, you can show off again. Now, come back to the hospital with me to study."

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

The boy watched the two brothers go further and further away, and then a few knights came out from both sides to protect the two back, so he knew that they might be children from noble families.

The man stroked the boy's head, and the boy looked envious, "He knows so much."

So did the other kids.

The owner of the flying broom shop came out and said with a smile, "Do you think they are all very powerful people? Do you want to be like them?"

The children opened their ignorant eyes, and the boy nodded sharply, "Think about it, dream about it."

"You can do it too." The shop owner is a kind old man who once worked as a librarian in the Imperial Library.He was kicked out because of his age.

However, the people above used various names to deduct wages for a long time, and he couldn't support himself in his later years.In desperation, I went to Beichen to look for a job.

By chance, I met several alchemists I used to know.

Then, he was sent to look at the store for the elderly.

Watchman's flying broom store is the most comfortable and leisurely place. The price is clearly marked, and a maximum of two or three orders can be sold a day.

When he is free, he likes to chatter with passers-by.

"How?" the boy asked.

The store owner said: "There are several small libraries in the city, and the owners are all educated people. You can get out of learning knowledge by paying dozens of coppers every month. If you learn well, you can also sign up for the semi-annual library in the city. Exam. If you do well in the exam, you can follow Beichen's boat to Beichen School for further study. After you finish your studies, you can be as good as them."

The man who was listening frowned, "Don't lie to the children with big words, judging by the appearance of those two people, they must be from the family of a big man."

"Why am I lying to you? The two just now, six years ago, they were poor children running around in the port of the imperial capital. They were orphans. You see, they are protected by so many people now, all because the duchess thinks they are studying. Okay, I got promoted. The older one is the deputy director of the new medical center in Taylor Zhongdu, and the younger one is amazing. He participated in the research and development of the flying broom. Although he is not the most powerful one, he is also the tower of Beichen. Top talent."

The man looked at the intersection where the two of them had disappeared, "What you said is true? If you are really such a big shot, how dare you come to the street."

"It's nothing, even if you catch it, it's useless, the core technology is still in the hands of our duchess. If you have the ability, go and catch our wife." Those who go to catch them respect them as warriors.

When Madam ran away, the magic power, the pit has become a big lake.

It is said that it is now used for fish farming.

Good use of waste.

The man was thoughtful, "Thank you sir for telling us this."

"No, I'm going to nag. Even if I say it, not many people do it. It's just that I don't want Duchess Taylor's kindness to be known."

The man thanked him again, and took the boy to the next door to receive the gift.

After receiving the gift, the boy jumped up and down. Although he couldn't play yet and put it in his father's back basket, he was the only one in the village who had such a high-end toy.

He is bound to become the most popular kid in the village.

Just as they passed the library, the man stopped, and the boy was suddenly attracted by the store full of books.

"Daddy, can I go in and have a look?"

The man hesitated for a while. It was rare for his son to come to the city. It was difficult for his son to see the outside world. In the past few years, he was even hidden by his mother.

Now that I have taken him out, I will take him into the bookstore to have a look. It should be fine.

As soon as you enter the bookstore, the environment inside is completely different from the outside.

The bookstore is very quiet and full of the fragrance of books.

The shopkeeper at the counter is a red-haired young man in his 20s, and a female shop assistant with a gentle face.

Looking at the appearance of the two, they look like a couple.

The red-haired young man asked what books they wanted to read, but the man didn't know how to answer and looked embarrassed.

Boys are more confused.

"We heard from the owner of the flying broom shop that there is such a beginner in the small library..." After talking for a long time, the man couldn't say the word knowledge.

　Thank you Baozi for voting so many monthly tickets last month, and I haven't added more before.

　　This month, I will try my best to make more and more, so that you can enjoy watching.

　　love you, than heart
