Traveling through time as a peasant girl to turn things around

The Crown Prince and Ye Heng had both arrived at the camp outside the capital. Over the past few years, they had recruited some generals and soldiers, but not many, only about 50,000. They had also recruited 10,000 naval forces.

We're recruiting soldiers now, hoping for voluntary enlistment. Today, recruitment has begun at the four city gates in the capital. This was decided over the past two days by the six ministries. For the first time in history, civilians are being asked to volunteer for military service. There are some preferential policies! Banners reading "One man enlists, the whole family is honored" are hung at the city gates. The Ministry of Works is rushing to produce honorary family plaques, which will be issued to every enlisted soldier to hang on their front door. Local officials will provide assistance if they encounter difficulties. During the Lunar New Year, honored families will receive five taels of silver, along with a bag of flour and rice.

Some families with many sons volunteered to join the army and were given a set of cotton-padded clothes and shoes on the spot.

The Ministry of Revenue will provide supplies. Of course, Lord Yan is now talking to Guoguo. Lord Yan: "Princess, haha, our Ministry of Revenue is a little slow in doing things. We have cooperated very well in the past few years. This time, I still ask for your help and wish you a pleasant cooperation." Guoguo said with a smile, "No problem. But you always say, you're welcome." Lord Yan: "This time, the supplies for this year have just been shipped away. Now, there are not many supplies left in the Ministry of Revenue. This old minister did not expect to suddenly recruit soldiers. Haha, I just want you, Guoguo, to make all of this batch of cotton-padded clothes, outerwear and shoes. We are preparing to recruit 100,000 troops. I have asked my men to rush to make the household goods, but it's too late."

Guoguo: "Well, you write a list. My hometown is also processing military uniforms, and the clothing processing factories here are also doing it. I also asked them to work overtime. Lord Yan, Uncle Yan, don't worry." When Yan Jiye heard this, he thought, okay, he knew that the princess would be able to help, and wrote down the materials needed for this recruitment with a smile.

Guoguo soon saw what was needed and said, "That's quite a lot!" Yan Jiye chuckled. He and Guoguo had been preparing military supplies together for the past few years. If the Ministry of Revenue had relied entirely on the army, the soldiers would have frozen to death long ago. They're short of cotton!

"Okay. That's easy, but, sir, I want to charge you." Yan Jiye: "I know, don't worry." He took out a few banknotes from his pocket and gave them to Guoguo, saying, "This is a deposit, Princess, please accept it first. Once the materials are collected, you can pay the remaining balance." "Okay. To be honest, sir, I also purchased the materials, and we are just processing them."

Yan Jiye just nodded, yes, yes. "I understand. I'll go back first. If there is anything, just notify me." "Okay. Someone, please see me off." Jiaxing: Yes.

Guoguo saw that it was the second uncle and said, "Second uncle, why are you here?" Jiaxing chuckled and said, "Isn't this a big deal? I'm at home. Please come in, sir! I'll take you out of the house!" Yan Jiye: "Okay." This is a relative, Guoguo smiled and said nothing more.

Guoguo went to the backyard again to see the wheat her grandfather was growing. Nearby were a few pigs and a chicken coop. There was a stable with plenty of war horses, for the men to ride and ride in. The guards along the way all greeted Guoguo, going about their business as usual, standing at attention. Guoguo saw that while there weren't many women in the family, there were quite a few guards. There were greenhouses and plenty of vegetables, enough for everyone in the mansion. Guoguo asked who was growing the vegetables now. A nearby guard chuckled and said, "We guards take turns growing the vegetables. Otherwise, what else would we eat?" Guoguo smiled but said nothing. When her grandfather was around, he'd mostly been doing the farming, with the guards helping out. Now, it's the guards who do the farming, raising pigs and chickens. There aren't many women. Even the kitchen is mostly men, with only a few women helping out. The yards are all cleaned by the guards. There were no maids in the mansion, just a few female warriors who waited on the newlyweds in their respective courtyards, and they brought few maids with them. Huanhuan's courtyard had no maids. Later, Wang Min would help take care of the child. Or else, a guard would hold the child. Anyway, they didn't want maids. Too many women would be troublesome. Ye Heng arranged for the guards to do the work.

Guoguo took a walk around the mansion and returned to the main hall to drink tea. Yingchun, Qiuju, and Dongshuang arrived, talking and smiling as they came with things in their hands. Guoguo saw a few people coming in and said, "Sit down and have a rest. Serve tea!" Yingchun: "Master, we can do it ourselves. You don't need to call anyone." Guoguo smiled and said, "Okay, it's okay. We can order whatever we want." Qiuju: "Yes, master." "What delicious food did you bring?" Yingchun: "I opened another food shop on the second street. The roast chicken is okay. I brought you a few. You can try it. The snacks are bought in our own shop. No cakes in Beijing are as delicious as ours! I brought a few for you to try?" "Okay. You guys eat together. In the meantime, I will assign tasks for you." Yingchun: "Okay, master, you say, we will definitely do it for you!" "Don't worry, haha, it's a business that makes money, but you can't make too much." Yingchun smiled and said, "It's okay to make less." Qiuju: "It doesn't matter whether you make money or not. Master, just tell us what the work is, and we will do it!" Guoguo saw that everyone was in high spirits, so she said, " We are doing logistics work, collecting cotton, wool, chicken feathers, duck feathers, and goose feathers. I will give you laundry detergent to clean them. Oh, cotton cannot be washed. " Yingchun: "We know cotton. It doesn't need to be washed, and it can't be washed. Guoguo: "Well, the cotton has been harvested this year. You can just hang a sign at the door of the shop and buy it. You don't need to go out to collect it." We can't go against the Ministry of Revenue. We'll collect it in our own shop. Well, or collect the feathers of chickens, ducks, geese, etc. at your doorstep. It only costs one or two cents per pound. I'll pay three cents to get it back. You can also earn a price difference. Yingchun said before Guoguo finished speaking, "Master, we don't want money." It's cheaper. Are you planning to do something big, or haven't you been doing this yourself in the past few years? " Guoguo's heart sank, and she slowly looked at her subordinates carefully. They were all the first batch of people who followed her. Ye Heng sent three batches of twelve people. These three were looking at the shop for her. Calligraphy, painting, pink, blue and purple are now, Qin and Qi are working in the house. Alas, there are still not enough people. Then I thought about my second uncle who had guards helping him with the housework at home, so he was not short of manpower.

He said, "Dayan is recruiting soldiers, and the Ministry of Revenue needs military uniforms, blankets and other supplies. I have taken on this task and will pay you, but we can't ask for more. We just want to earn less, haha." Yingchun and the others said, "Master, this is a big deal. We will do it tomorrow, no, we will start this afternoon. We will listen to your orders." "Okay. Also, you guys should take care of the garment shop at home and work the night shift. It will be busy for a while, but you have to make good arrangements at home. When your children are old enough and ready to go to school, send them to our own house to go to school. You don't have to worry about the children at home. There are people to take care of them here, and they can eat and live here." Yingchun: "My two children are grown up, one is seven years old and the other is five." Qiuju: "Mine is three years old." Guoguo: "Send them all here, so you don't have to worry." Yingchun: "Okay, I'm 100% confident here." Guoguo: "Although you all live away, there is still a house here for you. You can come back if you want to. It's still your original house." Yingchun: "Master, we know." As they spoke, tears came out of their eyes. They are so lucky to have met the young master Guoguo, which is why they have such a good life today.

Guoguo looked at her subordinates and said with a smile, "Sisters, don't cry. From now on, our lives will only get better." The three of them smiled, "Yes!" They strengthened their hearts, "It will get better!" ...
