Chapter 184 The credit for the crossbow falls on the father and son of Pingyang Marquis.
"Mr. Du, you are too kind. It is our duty to learn the technology well." Uncle Qian smiled naively. "From now on, I will manage the sugar-making workshop and will never bring shame to Mr. Du's reputation or the reputation of the Pingyang Marquis' Mansion."
Du Wenjun patted his shoulder and said, "Uncle Qian! Your last sentence is right. It's not that I cannot be disgraced, but the reputation of the prince cannot be disgraced.
Pingyang Marquis's Mansion protects the entire Liangjun City. We can't do anything else but to make a living and earn a little money to help the prince solve some problems. "
"Yes! Uncle Qian knows everything." Uncle Qian sighed, and the man in his forties frowned slightly, "The prince has been supporting us all this time, which is not easy. Later, the families of the brothers were brought here, and there are more people on the farm.
We were all worried and didn't know how to support these people. Unexpectedly, the prince introduced Master Du to us and arranged everything for us, which gave us hope. "
Thinking about the future and watching everyone working enthusiastically, Du Wenjun smiled and said, "From now on, the sugar factory will be handed over to you, Uncle Qian. With these three businesses on our farm, plus the grains, vegetables, and livestock that everyone grows, even if it's not enough to eat, it won't make much difference."
"yes!"
Uncle Qian smiled and looked at Du Wenjun with great respect. The young man in front of him was really amazing. Whether it was wine, marinade, or sugar, they were all unique businesses.
He didn't know if there were any in other places in Wei, but there were none in the counties around Liang County. There were none in Southern Xinjiang either, so they had no problem selling the products they made.
He also set up a shareholding system for everyone. To put it bluntly, no matter what you do, you work for yourself, and at the end of the year, in addition to the monthly salary, there are also dividends.
There are both adults and children, and they are distributed uniformly.
They were all looking forward to it, not knowing how much money they would get at the end of the year. Master Du also said that he would build a private school on the farm next year, so that both boys and girls would learn to read and write, so that they would not suffer any loss when they went out.
To be honest, he was very grateful in his heart and felt that being able to follow someone like Mr. Du was a blessing they had earned in several lifetimes.
Zhuangzi was thriving, and Ye Shiyi became Du Wenjun's personal bodyguard, which was secretly ordered by Marquis Pingyang.
He knew what Du Wenjun was doing, and he also knew that he treated every veteran and their families in the village well.
Originally, those people had risked their lives for the Ye family, so he should have provided them with permanent resettlement. However, he did not know how to run a business, and could not find a good way out for them.
The best way is to buy them a farm and let them live there. As for the rest, I really don’t know how to arrange it.
The Shen family was good at business, and he had mentioned it twice, but his uncle declined both times. He said that those old soldiers were missing limbs and couldn't do anything, and he couldn't mention it again and again, which was really embarrassing.
When his son first said he would give the farm to Du Wenjun, he was still unsure whether he could do a good job. Later, when he heard that the Du family paid to build a house on the farm, he knew that Du Wenjun could definitely do a good job.
As expected, he was not disappointed. Du Wenjun not only built houses for people to live in, but also built workshops. The marinade workshop was built first. The people in the village made money while building new houses and they were having a lot of fun.
Later, when the wine-making workshop opened, he understood that this was Miss Du's idea and that it would be impossible to make it work relying solely on her brother.
Miss Du is kind-hearted and smart. As long as she intervenes, the people in the manor will have hope. If she marries into the manor in the future, it will be a great help to the Ye family.
Du Wenjun often goes out of town, so he can't make any mistakes, otherwise he will be sorry for his future daughter-in-law. Ye Zhenghai ordered Ye Shiyi to stay by his side and protect him closely.
By saving him, his old brothers would have a place to stay, and he wouldn't have to face them with shame. Kang Dawei lost his eyes and hands to save him, and they were his personal guards.
Although it was his duty to protect him, after all, they were injured while trying to save his life. After retreating, they were hungry and naked, but he could not think of a way to provide long-term accommodation. It was really a distressing thing.
Sometimes you have to try to forget it. He's okay at leading troops in battle, but he really can't get money to feed people.
The Pingyang Marquis Mansion in the capital does have business, but it is not his turn to get involved because it belongs to the old lady.
The old lady was his stepmother, not his biological mother after all. In addition, because he insisted on marrying Chen Xiangxiu, a rift broke out among everyone.
No matter how wealthy the Pingyang Marquis's Mansion in the capital was, it was impossible for them to take out money to support a disabled old soldier.
He could only leave it to his son, who, like him, had no idea of a good solution. But he was very lucky to meet Miss Du, who helped him arrange everything on the farm.
This put his mind at ease. It was rare to find such a capable girl. He would go to the Du family to propose marriage as soon as his son came back.
Regardless of whether his illness is cured or not, he must find a way to find a daughter-in-law for his son and cannot miss the opportunity.
The illness of the mighty general Yan Hong has been completely cured, and he now commands the army in a majestic manner. The brothers have returned to the days when they used to drink and fight side by side.
After the thief was beaten away, the two brothers held the jar of wine and drank until they were drunk. They were very happy. The wine was brewed by Miss Du and was called General Brew.
What a nice name! It tells the world that these wines were all brewed by people who used to be generals.
It was brewed by the Ye family’s army, and he would be proud of it if others knew about it.
Miss Du did not take credit for the crossbow, and all the credit went to them father and son. That was a real reward.
Although his title was not promoted, he received many other rewards, such as gold, silver, jade, cloth and other offerings, which were all sent from the capital to Liang County.
Knowing that he was not in Pingyang Marquis's mansion, the emperor's reward was not brought into the mansion at all, but was sent directly out of the palace. It can be seen that the emperor sympathized with him, knew his situation, and bypassed the old lady's hurdle.
In this way, no one would say that he was unfilial and did not share some of the reward with the old lady. If the old lady really treated him as her own son, he would also be willing to treat her as his own mother and be filial to her.
It's a pity that the old lady didn't care about him either openly or secretly, and only cared about the children she gave birth to. Why should he play the role of a loving mother and a filial son?
All the achievements of the Pingyang Marquis's Mansion were earned through the hard work of this father and son. If he was like his two younger brothers in the capital, the title of Pingyang Marquis would have been lost long ago.
The old lady was well aware of this, and that’s why she rushed to take her son to raise as soon as he was born, with the purpose of making her son be of the same mind as her.
Ye Zhenghai thought about these messy things, feeling mixed emotions. He wanted to take Pingyang Marquis Mansion to a higher level, but he probably couldn't do it by himself, and he had to rely on his son.
I don’t know if I can reach that level in the future. If I move up further, the Marquis of Pingyang will become a Duke’s Mansion.
