You Broke Off the Engagement with This Prince—So Why Are You Crying?

Qin Qingxue had ambitions higher than the sky. She used Li Ye to become the first female general of the Great Yuan Empire.

After returning triumphantly, she didn’t hesitate for a second before...

Chapter 283 New Business

As soon as the first group of relocated families arrived at the border, they were immediately arranged to live in new houses.

When I saw the spacious and bright new home, I looked around timidly, unable to believe it.

These people have never lived in such a nice house in their lives.

Before, even having food was a problem, but after coming here, I suddenly became rich.

Before coming to China, many people felt that life at the border was unsafe and that it was a cold and harsh place.

If it wasn't for reuniting with my family, I would never move here even if I were beaten to death.

But I never expected that after coming here, I would find that the conditions here are so good that it is unimaginable.

Even when I moved into the house, I still felt like I was dreaming.

"Is this our new home? Is it really free?"

"You can stay here without worry, it's free, and you can stay as long as you like.

As long as it exceeds 㩙㹓, this house will officially belong to you.

If the family has more people, you can apply to move to a bigger house, which is also free.

You can get used to it in the next two days. There are a lot of manual labors to do. The more you work, the more you earn. How much you can earn depends on your own ability."

"What? Can we have work too?"

"Of course, besides farming, women and the elderly have things to do in their spare time.

Especially recently, there is a serious shortage of manpower in spinning and knitting sweaters.

As long as you work hard, it will be no problem to earn enough to cover your daily expenses.

Moreover, this kind of work is not too tiring and most people can do it.

And all the children have to go to school.

After learning to read and write, you can take the imperial examination. If you are lucky, you may even be able to become an official in the court.

Even if I don't pass the exam, being able to read and write will allow me to live a better life."

The families of the workers simply seemed like a fairy tale.

The welfare benefits are surprisingly good to this extent.

Simply incredible.

Even in normal times, I don’t dare to have such a beautiful dream.

"You're not kidding us, are you? Can we really have such a good thing happen to us?"

"Hahaha, don't worry! Your men work here, how could they possibly cheat on you?"

"Don't stop, just tell me what to do! The carriage ride here was very smooth and not bumpy at all.

"If you click on the activation button, you can exercise your body."

We are all from poor families and have no chance to make money in our hometown.

They simply can't wait.

Men, women, young and old come to the workshop together to learn how to spin yarn and knit sweaters.

I quickly adapted to local life.

As the population grew, Li Ye re-registered all the unowned land.

In addition to distributing land to the people for cultivation, the surplus land was also used to hire people to grow vegetables and aquatic plants.

Craftsmen were brought in to build a large glass factory specializing in producing large pieces of glass.

Because the technology is not advanced enough, the glass contains a lot of impurities.

But this is not affected too much, as long as light can pass through and vegetable greenhouses can be built, it is enough.

We must ensure that people living in border areas can have access to vegetables in winter.

Especially the garrisons stationed at the border, their purchase of food and vegetables were all paid for by the court.

Selling vegetables to them can earn you extra income.

Li Ye not only makes money from the enemy country, but also does not let go of his own people's business.

From building roads at the beginning, it has now turned into building city walls and houses.

Workers were paid for building the wall.

However, building houses is for their own residence and is voluntary labor.

But no one complained.

After all, you don’t have to pay for materials, and you can get a brand new yard just by doing the work.

Who else is dissatisfied?

Especially when building your own house, you must be not only careful but also more attentive.

Everyone is full of energy and no one wants to be lazy.

If the house is built sooner, the whole family can move here.

It was very heartwarming to see the first batch of families who had migrated here and seeing them reunite and live together as a family after work.

Others were also extremely envious.

I regret not moving my family here quickly.

Since the house cannot be completed in a short period of time, the subsequent relocation of family members needs to be done in batches.

The more this happens, the more motivated I become to work.

I want to finish building all the houses as soon as possible.

Within a few days, Li Ye received the first batch of sweater samples.

In order to make it more beautiful, I even dyed it.

This makes it even more beautiful.

"Look at this! This is wool clothing. What do you think?"

Princess Ruyue touched the soft sweater, her face full of surprise.

"This kind of clothing is so soft and the style is really nice. It's stretchy so it fits better. It must be super warm."

"What beautiful clothes! Although I have never seen this style before, it is really beautiful."

Even Lin Yue, who usually has no interest in clothes, was attracted by it.

Try it on with Xiao Cui and the other two.

I found it light and warm to wear and I like it very much.

"If this dress were sold in the capital, even if it was sold for a hundred taels of silver, there would be people vying for it.

I never thought that ordinary people here can all wear it."

Princess Ruyue knows a lot about clothes.

After all, he is a powerful person and is very particular about his clothes.

Even so, the sweater still made her feel very stunning.

"That's right! In winter, the rich and powerful wear nothing more than brocade, and those who are better off can wear fur coats.

But those clothes are heavier and cannot be compared with sweaters.

With this clothing, it is more comfortable to wear under the armor.

Even fighting in winter will not be difficult."

Zhao Wudi was also very satisfied with the sweater he knitted.

If all the soldiers in the army could wear this kind of clothes, it would definitely boost morale.

After listening to their conversation, Li Ye had a new idea.

A sweater can be sold for hundreds of taels of silver in the capital, which is definitely a good business.

Feeding such a large population was a considerable pressure even for Li Ye, the richest man in the world.

Any opportunity to make money should never be missed.

"I have a new idea! Although the sweaters we make are good, they still have major shortcomings." Li Ye said.

Princess Ruyue picked up the sweater and examined it carefully, puzzled. "I think it's fine. Is there anything wrong with it?"

"Such a nice dress has flaws. Who is so picky?"

Xiao Cui'er also didn't understand.

Although she is a maid, she is definitely the head steward in Li Ye's mansion.

Her vision is no worse than those of the ladies from wealthy families.

"You don't understand. Ruyue just reminded me! Such a good thing must be used to its full potential.

The knitted sweaters were not only worn by their own people, but also sold to the capital and even to the northern countries.

So we have to do better.

Send people to pick out the finest wool and carefully sort it out to ensure that no other wool is mixed in.

Be extremely picky.

This way we can sell the sweaters at a high price and have a good reason.

For rich people, what they lack is not money, but face.

It must be distinguished from the clothes worn by ordinary people.

Other people's sweaters are made of wool, but rich people use cashmere to keep warmer.

As long as the product sells well, the more expensive it is, the more they like it.”
