It's not scary to travel through a book, you can change your fate as a cannon fodder by yoursel

Being able to arrange these people in this way is a win-win situation for everyone and is conducive to long-term stability.

Zheng Rong and Fenggu were also very happy because they acted as matchmakers and brought together several couples.

The tea garden had been arranged properly, and with Old Wang's family taking care of it, there was no problem at all. The next day, the family began to busy themselves with building fences. Now that they had a purpose in life, they were full of energy.

The wounded soldiers were even more emotional. Those who could get married this time were naturally happy, but those who didn't succeed also had hope.

Since the beginning of building the house, Zhang Shun has led several people to make beds and furniture.

Weng Xiaoxiao handed the finished drawing to Zhang Shun. After taking a look at it, the professional understood it and said that the design was quite ingenious.

"Please keep the drawings. They are just the renderings of the finished product. You can lead the team to figure out how to do it. Manager Zhou will take care of the sales. You can hire a few helpers here, and add more if you don't have enough."

Weng Xiaoxiao looked at the scattered wood and frowned, "Why don't we just build you a yard so that outsiders can't come in and out as they please."

Alas, it is another expense, but it is also a necessary expense.

"That's great, thank you, boss." Zhang Shun was so excited that he was at a loss. He had this skill, and he also had a wife and a workshop, so he didn't have to worry about anything.

"Talk to Manager Zhou about what the workshop should look like. We need both a workshop and a warehouse, and we can get everything done in one go."

Zhang Shun had great respect for this young boss. His drawings were ingenious and thoughtful. A large workshop was indeed needed for work, but it only needed to be open and covered. If sales were good, the warehouse would not need to be too large.

"Yes, yes, I'll think about it and discuss it with Manager Zhou when I'm done."

Zhou Zheng came in and heard these words. He was the one who was asked to do everything and was already very busy. However, thinking that he would be able to get married in a few months and carry on the family line, it was all worth it.

Knowing that Zhou Zheng was busy, but knowing that he was indispensable for this matter, Weng Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "We have to build another carpenter's workshop."

"Okay, it's only a matter of time."

How can you make money without investing? The employer who spends money doesn't say anything, he just spends his time, so naturally he has nothing to say. He pays you so much because he wants you to work hard.

"Manager Zhou, what should we do with the pond?"

"I came here to talk to the boss about this." Zhou Zheng wiped the sweat off his face with his sleeve. "Erxi's family raised fish before, but he only has a vague understanding of the subject, so I don't know if he can do the job."

A superficial understanding is not enough. "The pond is large, and raising fish and lotus roots requires manpower. People who grew up in a water town should know a little bit about it. The key is to find someone who can take charge of this area."

The tea garden was contracted to someone who knew the technology, and Zhou Zheng only needed to make arrangements for manpower and funds. Even if tea could not be picked yet, he could still raise chickens first. As long as there was no chicken plague, he didn't have to worry too much about losing money.

It would be best to arrange ponds in the same way and assign responsibilities to specific people.

Zhou Zheng had never raised fish before, but he had experienced a lot and would naturally be more careful. Weng Xiaoxiao felt relieved to leave it to him.

The construction of Zhuangzi is proceeding in an orderly manner, and busy figures can be seen everywhere. It is no longer the lifeless atmosphere when I first arrived. Everyone's spirit is different.

Weng Xiaoxiao gave Xiaoyang 500 taels of silver as funds for the construction of the village. All expenses had to be approved by the manager Zhou before he could withdraw money from Xiaoyang. He had to remember clearly how much he withdrew and what he bought.

Weng Xiaoxiao asked Xiaoyang to record the accounts of the farm, the tea garden, the carpenter's workshop, and the pond separately, and taught him step by step how to set up the accounts.

All accounts must be settled daily and monthly.

Things were almost dealt with, so Weng Xiaoxiao prepared to go back. Since she lived not far away, she could come over for inspection often.

......

Busy times always pass quickly, and it’s October in the blink of an eye.

On the way back, Zheng Rong mentioned her plan to return to Beijing. She was the eldest daughter-in-law of the Marquis's Mansion, and she should be content to be able to relax for so long.

Weng Xiaoxiao couldn't stop this kind of thing and could only try her best to accompany him.

After returning to Yangzhou, she went to work at the bank and entrusted the task of preparing the gifts to Fenggu. Whenever Zheng Rong went out, her relatives and old friends would always give her a gift.

Embroidery was easy, so she went directly to Kang Bao's embroidery workshop. This time, she did not use any backdoors to become a disciple, and Kang Bao passed the interview based on her skills. Regardless of whether she would work in this industry in the future, Weng Xiaoxiao hoped that she would learn something, and since she was a good material for this, she had to be trained well.

Of course, I can’t do without pickles made in my own workshop. As the weather turns cooler, it is also convenient to store them, so I just put them in two large jars.

There were also fruits, snacks, and all sorts of other things, filling up a whole cart.

Feng Gu wanted to go shopping again, but was stopped by Zheng Rong.

But before leaving, Weng Xiaoxiao received a piece of news that shocked the government and the public.

"Madam, half a month ago, the Ye family army was defeated, General Wuwei and his son died for the country, and the court lost two cities. Now they are busy mobilizing troops."

Zheng Rong was extremely surprised. It had only been more than two months and they had already been defeated?

This is how the families of military generals are. They are most afraid of hearing about a war, and even more afraid of hearing about a defeat. A victory will always result in considerable casualties, let alone a defeat!

"Will our family be the next one?" Weng Xiaoxiao walked over and hugged Zheng Rong's arm.

Zheng Rong fell silent. The Yang family was bound to be killed, it was just a matter of time. But his father-in-law was old, and Yang Shuo's second uncle had never been to the battlefield. Yang Shuo couldn't leave Mobei!

"We can't say anything about the important affairs of the court. If an enemy comes, we will fight him with our troops; if a flood comes, we will block it with earth."

Zheng Rong took Weng Xiaoxiao's hand and patted it, "Xiaoxiao, it's hard to ask you not to think too much, but as a woman, there are many frustrations. Most of the time, I can only wait quietly."

She wanted them to get married as soon as possible, regardless of whether they would observe mourning or not. Who knew what would happen in the future? She wanted her son to live a happy life for a few days, and it would be even better if he could leave a descendant. However, after thinking it over for a while, she still couldn't say it out loud.

Life is hard enough for a little girl, she can't be so selfish!

"The wife of the current Yangzhou prefect is my cousin. We had a good relationship when we were young, but we haven't seen each other for many years. I didn't go to visit her this time. This is my name card. It's best not to use this relationship unless it's absolutely necessary. I don't know how much help she can give me."

If you don't visit for three years, you are not even close to your relatives. What's more, you are a cousin who is thousands of miles away and has not seen each other for many years?

Weng Xiaoxiao took it and thanked him solemnly, but she would not use such a relationship, just like the contact information Lu Yaowen gave her, which Weng Xiaoxiao kept but never opened.

It’s better not to place your hopes on people and things that you are not familiar with.
