The Royal Family's Orphan is on the Rise

"How about we find a more spacious place to chat?"

The village heads and clan leaders all nodded.

Zheng Shutong quickly looked around: "Princess, the stones over there look quite clean, why don't we sit there?"

Everyone looked over after hearing this.

The head of Yamada Village was delighted: "What a great place! Princess, please sit there and we will all listen to you."

Everyone walked quickly to the destination, and Shen Jiarou sat cross-legged.

"If you don't mind, you can sit cross-legged. We may have to talk for a while."

Hearing this, everyone sat cross-legged obediently.

"Let me tell you about a few important things first. The first thing is that our college will start recruiting students and classes will begin."

Everyone was delighted and asked questions excitedly.

"Princess, we know about this. You sent someone to inform us. We heard that the gentlemen have been found."

"Yes."

……

"Everyone, be quiet. The second thing is, I will give you a job for 20 cents a day, including three meals, but you have to go home to stay."

Everyone was shocked, and the people in Yushu Village were asking questions.

"Princess, what are you doing?"

“I decided to build a three-story house in this temporary market that only appeared for a few months. The first floor will be used to sell vegetables, the second floor will be used to sell condiments, and the third floor will be used as an inn.

The project may take two or three months, but if everyone works hard, or if there are enough people, it may be completed in more than a month.”

The village heads, tribe leaders and clan leaders all gasped.

Lishan Village was mustering up the courage to ask, "How big is the building?"

Shen Jiarou stretched out a finger, and everyone was puzzled.

"One hundred square meters?"

"Wrong, a single-story building covers an area of ​​1,000 square meters."

Now everyone felt like they were about to lose their balance.

"We may need at least 100 people at the moment. You can recruit 200 people, 50 people from each village to work.

In addition, the treatment for cooks is the same. Each village will recruit two people, but the prerequisite is that they can cook well. Those who can’t will not be recruited.

If everyone wants to go back to busy themselves with spring planting, we will try to finish it in more than a month.

Please go back and inform the village heads and clan leaders. Thank you for your hard work. Please gather here tomorrow."

When Nanny Wang heard that the princess wanted to spend 12,000 taels of silver to buy the land, she was stunned.

"The princess wants to buy land nearby?"

Ruan Qingling nodded solemnly: "Mammy, this is what the princess said."

The chief steward and Ruan Qingling took a carriage to the yamen again. When they heard that they were from Princess Yongkang's mansion, the people in the yamen received them warmly.

"Look, this is the nearby field. If you need to go within 20 kilometers, this is the location."

In less than fifteen minutes, the two men walked out of the yamen with the land deed.

The chief clerk of the yamen had a bag of silver in his hand. He counted it carefully and found that there were about five taels of silver, which made him very happy.

The chief steward looked at Ruan Qingling and said, "Go back now."

The backs of the two people leaving were seen by Bai Yunsu who was passing by.

Bai Qiuci said in surprise: "Xiang Jun, that seems to be light and spirit."

Bai Yunsu nodded slightly: "Yes, I saw it."

She looked up at the yamen, wondering why the two men came here, but she understood the next day.

"My Lord, the people we sent out have found out that the princess has someone buy land in a village 20 kilometers in the suburbs of Beijing."

Bai Yunsu, who was embroidering a handkerchief, was stunned: "Buy land? Could it be that the princess has some new species?"

Bai Qiuci shook her head: "I don't know either."

The village chiefs and clan leaders of each village came with two hundred people and gave careful instructions along the way.

"You have to work hard. The food the princess said is definitely good. It's only 20 cents and includes three meals. No one else has this benefit. Don't be lazy, otherwise the quota will be given to someone else."

A man smiled naively and said, "Don't worry, village chief. You don't trust me when I do things."

"You all should work hard, and next time when something good happens, the princess will think of us."

Shen Jiarou looked at the sunrise in front of her and felt that everything was so beautiful.

Zhen Luosang glanced behind him and reminded, "Princess, they are here."

"Common people meet the princess."

Looking at the huge group of people, Shen Jiarou decided to stand on the stone.

"Please don't be polite, everyone. Thank you for your hard work in the future."

Wow, this way of shouting is pretty good.

"You're welcome, princess."

"Yes, Princess, we will do our best."

The four villages jointly bought a rooster and were preparing to kill it for sacrifice when Shen Jiarou was stunned.

"What are you doing?"

The head of Lishan Village bowed and said, "Princess, this is a ceremony for building a house, and this is a big project. We have to pray to the gods."

Shen Jiarou was surprised to hear this. "The one we built last time is also like this?"

Nanny Su nodded and said, "The people from the Ministry of Industry did exactly that."

It’s just that the princess might have been too busy and didn’t pay any attention at all.

Shen Jiarou and others looked at it in surprise.

Thinking that the chicken was bought by four villages jointly, Shen Jiarou felt that the people should not be let suffer.

"Village chief, I bought your chicken and will make soup for everyone to drink at noon today."

The four village heads were ready to refuse, but Shen Jiarou took the initiative.

"You can't refuse. This is an order."

So everyone had no choice but to obey.

Several officials from the Ministry of Works came here and looked at the endless suburbs of Beijing, all with frowns on their faces.

Is it crazy for the princess to build a house here?

After some investigation and measurement, a morning passed.

People have started cooking in a big pot on the makeshift stove.

"Grandma Wang, help me cut some garlic."

"Hey, good."

"Come and add some firewood. The potato rice will be ready soon."

"Sister-in-law Li, let me add more."

"Thank you, Sister Cheng."

The Ministry of Works and the village heads, clan leaders and villagers of each village have already smelled the fragrant potato rice.

"It smells good."

“It tastes like potatoes.”

"Oh, it smells so good, I feel like I can eat a whole cow."

Everyone laughed.

Shen Jiarou walked towards the village heads and clan leaders of each village.

"Princess, please feel free to ask us to do whatever we want. We will do our best to carry it out."

"It's okay. I just want to tell everyone that the village heads and clan leaders will be responsible for managing them in the future. This princess will give you fifty coins."

The sixteen people were so shocked that they stuttered when they spoke.

"We also get paid?"

“Yes, it’s very hard for you to manage.”

Then Shen Jiarou looked at the people from the Ministry of Industry and said, "Gentlemen, from now on you will be paid 30 cents a day, including three meals."

The officials of the Ministry of Industry did not expect that they could get extra wages and have three meals and lodging provided for a trip. They simply could not even imagine it.

Nanny Su looked at the busy cooks and had an idea in her mind.

"Princess, I think we need to find someone to take charge of the cooking."

Shen Jiarou looked up, pursed her lips and nodded.

"That makes sense. Madam, I'll leave this matter to you. If you find anyone capable, just tell them directly. The chief steward will be paid 40 people per day, and the deputy steward will be paid 30 cents per day. The rest will be paid the same."

Nanny Su felt a great sense of responsibility and bowed respectfully, "Yes, Princess, I understand."

When it was time to eat, everyone lined up in three rows to get their meals. No matter if they were officials from the Ministry of Works or village heads or clan leaders, they all had to line up together without any preferential treatment.

"Today's lunch is so rich."

"And meat."

"This is?"

Aunt Zhou sneered, "Potato rice. The princess said it tastes delicious. Big brother, try it."

Everyone looked at him intently. The man took a bite and showed surprise on his face.

"good to eat."
