Rich Peasant Girl: The General's Wife Has Space

The reason why Xiao Wan was so generous was because her flour products were selling well and in short supply, so she had to expand the workshop and recruit people again and again.

With sales increasing, you will naturally make a lot of money.

Xiao Wan discussed this with Zhao Lizheng and planned to make Dahuaishu Village famous.

Dahuaishu Village was the first to grow potatoes, and the first workshop was also located in this village. The villagers also relied on potatoes for their livelihood.

It is not an exaggeration to call it the “hometown of potatoes”!

Zhao Lizheng was naturally very happy about this. This was equivalent to a business card for the village, and it would be more helpful for the girls and boys in the village to get married in the future!

Today, the Xiao family workshop is firmly located at the east end of the village, with neat rows of brick and tile houses, and the gate is also magnificent!

Xiao Wan also built a small house at the door, just like in her previous life, and hired two disabled veterans from the village to guard the workshop. They were paid 800 coins a month and lived and ate in the workshop, just like modern security guards.

The two veterans were very grateful. One of them had a weak arm and the other had a lame leg. Although they received compensation after retiring and returning home, it was not enough to support their family.

I can't go out to work in the fields to earn money every day, and I am a burden to my family and they eat food for free. I feel very uncomfortable.

They fought desperately on the battlefield, and although they received subsidies after returning home, people still need to have something to do while they are alive, and only when they are needed can they feel a sense of existence.

Now that the county lady has personally selected them to guard the gate and the wages are shockingly high, they can only work like slaves to repay her.

Now that the family has an income, I am no longer just sitting at home and waiting to die, and I am respected by my family.

In fact, the reason why Xiao Wan did this was, firstly, she respected soldiers, just like in her previous life, and secondly, these veterans had been on the battlefield, and their vigilance and skills were not comparable to ordinary people.

Why not employ them and allow them to support their families?

Xiao Wan's newly opened Qilixiang branch mostly employs family members and relatives of veterans, and also recruits healthy veterans. Just think of it as a small contribution to the Yuan Dynasty!

For this reason, the people of Jiyun City all praised the county lord for her kindness and generosity, and for being a role model.

Zhao Wenqing also mentioned Xiao Wan's deeds in his daily work reports.

The emperor was greatly impressed after reading it, and then he had an idea. He decided to reduce taxes by half for any shop that gave priority to recruiting veterans, in order to demonstrate the image of the court and the emperor as benevolent and loving the people.

For a time, the atmosphere in the Yuan Dynasty was positive and the emperor was happy to see the people living in harmony and being content and grateful.

In her joy, she wrote the word "Virtue" with her brush and sent it to the newly built Huide County Lady's Mansion along with some jewelry and gold and silver, and praised Xiao Wan highly.

When the emperor's reward was delivered, Xiao Wan looked at it and felt a little amused. She had just done something casually and received the emperor's praise, but she didn't think it was too much.

The family made a plaque with the emperor's handwritten words and hung it in the hall of the county lord's mansion after it was completed.

Xiao Wan told her father and Mrs. Liu about Xiao Ting's affairs. Zhang Liang hired a servant from the Zhang family to tell him about the Zhang family's dirty deeds. Xiao Wan also knew that Xiao Ting was not lying, and it was necessary to tell her parents about this matter.

After hearing this, Old Man Xiao frowned.

Although Liu blamed Wang and her daughter for being vicious, she didn't want to argue with a junior if Xiao Ting admitted her mistakes and corrected them.

Liu looked at Old Man Xiao in silence and understood the conflict in his heart. After all, she was related to him by blood. Xiao Ting seemed to have changed too, so Old Man Xiao felt a little forgiving.

Liu couldn't bear to see him embarrassed, so she said to Xiao Wan, "Wan'er, since she said so, you have sent someone to keep an eye on her. When she returns to her parents' home in a few days, give her some face and see if you can stop her from doing anything stupid."

Xiao Wan nodded in agreement.

A few days later, Xiao Ting really brought Young Master Zhang and Young Master Zhang to Dahuaishu Village.

A magnificently decorated carriage carried Xiao Ting and the second young master Zhang, and another one was also filled with gifts, with the eldest young master Zhang sitting inside.

When the group arrived at the village, the villagers looked at them curiously, wondering which wealthy family they were.

The carriage stopped in front of Uncle Xiao's house. Everyone suddenly realized what was going on and gathered around curiously.

Xiao Ting got off the carriage reluctantly with the help of Young Master Zhang. Xiao Ting sneered in her heart, but kept a calm expression on her face, pretending to be moved.

Haha, it’s just an act, as if everyone can do it!

After getting off the car, Xiao Ting greeted everyone in the village with a smile. Everyone thought that Xiao Ting had married into a good family and now she was back with her husband.

It's just that it's too late to return this time.
