The Royal Family's Orphan is on the Rise

Shen Jiarou looked at the people around the old man. They were all wearing patched clothes and looked timid and nervous. Thinking of this, Shen Jiarou kept a faint smile.

"Master and your family, please take a seat."

Bao Zhiqing asked several people to sit down on both sides in turn, and then came to wait beside his master.

"The tea on the tea table is green tea. You've been tired from traveling all the way. Drink some to quench your thirst."

The old man nodded respectfully, "Yes, thank you, young lady."

After they drank their tea, Shen Jiarou smiled faintly and asked, "Have you eaten yet?"

The old man was stunned. He didn't expect the girl to ask this.

"Ate."

Shen Jiarou looked at Zhen Luosang and ordered, "Luosang, prepare some cakes for them. We will be delayed for a while, so you should eat something to prevent hunger later."

Everyone nodded timidly.

It was also the first time for the old man to enter a wealthy family, and he felt nervous and uncomfortable all over.

To prevent them from getting more nervous, Shen Jiarou began to introduce the people in the mansion to them.

"Master, let me introduce you. The one in front of you is Nanny Su, whom I met yesterday. This side is Nanny He, also my personal maid. The one who brought you in just now was a protection guard, and the four of them are all my personal maids."

Seeing that the girls had already introduced the people in the mansion, the master also plucked up the courage to introduce himself.

"Girl, opposite me is my wife Deng Shutong, and this is my eldest son Zhu Lei, second son Zhu Wei, third son Zhu Tao, eldest daughter Zhu Jiali, and second daughter Zhu Jiahe. Oh, and this is me, Zhu Jun."

After hearing this, Shen Jiarou smiled slightly and praised sincerely.

"You all have nice names. Are any of you married?" They all seem to be single.

Hearing this, everyone lowered their heads in embarrassment.

Seeing this, Shen Jiarou understood.

"It's okay. If you work hard in the future, you will be able to get out of poverty and be single in no time."

Everyone was delighted when they heard this, and Zhu Jun thanked them happily, "Thank you for your good words, young lady."

After everyone had eaten the cakes, Shen Jiarou took them to the candied haws shop and workshop. When they entered the shop, they looked carefully and did not dare to touch them for fear of damaging the items.

Seeing how cautious they were, Shen Jiarou chuckled and joked, "You don't have to be so cautious. You will all work here in the future. Today you can get familiar with it first. Later, Master Zhu will bring some people to make some candied haws."

After hearing what she said, the Zhu family felt a little more relaxed.

On the way, Nanny Su glanced at the two girls and had an idea.

"Master, I think it would be better to let the two girls come to serve in the mansion. They look decent and have some flaws in their personalities, but they can become useful after some training. The main thing is that the mansion is short of people."

After listening to what Nanny Su whispered, Shen Jiarou also glanced at the girls from the Zhu family.

In the workshop, after everyone had finished their visit, Shen Jiarou looked at Uncle Zhu with a smile on her face.

"Master Zhu, I would like to ask, are the two girls willing to work in the mansion?"

Zhu Jiali and Zhu Jiahe were delighted when they heard this, and looked at their parents expectantly.

The couple looked at each other, not knowing how to respond.

At this time, Nanny Su spoke up, "We just arrived here, and the mansion is quite short of people. I think the two girls are good-looking and polite. If you are willing, you can come to the mansion to work. Our master treats his servants very well. You can think about it carefully and give us an answer later."

After seeing Uncle Zhu and his three sons making the candied haws, Shen Jiarou picked up a string and tasted it.

"not bad."

Ruan Qingling took a light bite and the sour and sweet feeling made her very happy.

Zhen Luosang ate two in a row, and the Zhu family also tasted the candied haws they made under Shen Jiarou's instructions.

"We will start with the original flavor of candied haws in the next two days. I will research other flavors in a few days. By then, we will have more varieties and attract more customers."

When he arrived at the shop, Uncle Zhu came up to Shen Jiarou and spoke respectfully.

"My lady, I am willing to take my two daughters into my house, as long as they have enough food to eat."

Nanny Su chuckled and said, "Master Zhu, the two girls will not only be well fed and well clothed when they enter the mansion, but they will also be able to learn many skills in the mansion."

The couple smiled happily when they heard this. Their daughters would be better off and they would feel less guilty.

The three brothers Zhu Lei, Zhu Wei and Zhu Tao were also genuinely happy for their sisters.

Shen Jiarou glanced at Nanny Su, and then Nanny Su looked at the two girls.

"The two girls will come back to the mansion tomorrow. Today, you can accompany your parents and brothers."

The two girls nodded slightly, "Yes, Mammy."

They heard the servants in the mansion call them that.

Village Chief Dong was in his yard, watering the rice and corn seedlings carefully. Aunt Zheng brought a bowl of water from the inner room.

"Dad, drink a bowl of water."

Village Chief Dong took it and drank it, then handed it to his wife. They looked at the green rice seedlings and corn seedlings and smiled at each other.

"God didn't want us to suffer, so he sent the county lord to help us."

Aunt Zheng also sighed sincerely, "Yes, the county lord helped us to bring water, bought cattle for us to plow the fields, and sent us grain and corn seeds. It's a great favor."

For ordinary people, having enough food and clothing is the most important thing.

Mr. Li is responsible for checking the conditions of water diversion, plowing, rice seedlings, and corn seedlings in each town and village, and he would make a record every time he sent it back.

Although the entire Nanning County is large, its population is extremely small, at least one-third less than that of Anren County.

In the front office of the government office, Shen Jiarou sat on a stool and listened to Lord Zhang talk about the population situation of the county.

Shen Jiarou raised her eyes slightly, and no one knew what she was thinking.

"Nanning County's population is one-third less than Anren County's, which has something to do with the county's overall economy and farmland."

Zhang Zhiwen knew that what the princess said was right, but he seemed to be stuck in a dead end in the current situation and didn't know how to solve it.

"I want to hear your opinion."

Shen Jiarou said calmly, "If there is a lot of wasteland, then we should reclaim it; if the economy is poor, then we should improve the various categories of products in the county, and at the same time increase the opportunities for people to find jobs. If the above two problems can be solved, the population will naturally increase."

Nanny Su didn't expect her young master to be so smart, and she agreed with surprise.

"Your Excellency is right. If we do this, maybe the county will not only be able to pay grain on time every year, but also have enough surplus to live on."

Zhang Zhiwen was so overwhelmed with emotion after hearing this that he immediately stood up and bowed.

"My Lord, as long as it is good for the people, I will do whatever you say. I will cooperate with you in everything."

Getting Zhang Zhiwen's promise was a pleasant surprise.

"Well, promotion and wealth are just around the corner, Mr. Zhang."

Zhang Zhiwen understood the princess's implication and bowed solemnly.

"I would like to thank you for your kind words."

The county lady's mansion and the government office jointly recruited workers, and the work location was assigned according to the distance. Each person was paid 20 coins, and food, accommodation and service were provided.

After a few days, each town had thousands of applicants. Nanning County had 18 towns in total, with 18,000 applicants.

When Shen Jiarou received the long list, her eyes widened in surprise.
