Chapter 500 Concerns
After thinking about it, Shen Yueyao decided to write a plan, listing some details in the plan so that Su Xueyi could understand it at a glance.
And just build the academy according to the plan.
She also has to draw the design of the academy,
In fact, it was relatively easy for Shen Yueyao to draw the design of the academy.
Su Xueyi was also busy in the study.
As the prefect of Hezhou, Su Xueyi does have a lot to do.
Of course, it is also because of Su Xueyi's ability that things are done efficiently and everything goes on in an orderly manner.
Both of them were busy with the things in their hands.
When it was getting late, Su Xueyi asked Shen Yueyao to go to rest.
Shen Yueyao used to stay up late often in the technological age, but after coming here, the pace of life has slowed down, and she has gotten used to going to bed early and getting up early.
"It's easier to recover your energy if you rest early."
Su Xueyi also felt sorry for Shen Yueyao in her heart.
Shen Yueyao met his distressed look, nodded and said, "Okay, go wash up and go to bed first."
"Are Dabao and Erbao asleep?"
Su Xueyi whispered, "Yeah, he's already asleep."
"They are very sensible. They practice martial arts and study on their own every day without any supervision. They are very self-disciplined."
"They also know that they have to go to bed early every day, so when it's time, they will wash up and go to bed by themselves."
Hearing these words, Shen Yueyao felt very relieved.
It seems that she doesn’t need to worry about the eldest and second children.
As if she had thought of something, Shen Yueyao asked, "By the way, have all the letters been sent out?"
"Yes, they have been sent out. The letters sent to the capital, Liuhe Village, and Xingshan Village have all been sent out. They are sent through the post station, so the speed will be faster."
Shen Yueyao nodded.
Su Xueyi and Shen Yueyao went to bed.
Su Ruoyun was writing a plan and drawing the restaurant design at the desk in her room.
She was excited every day when she thought that she could design the restaurant herself.
Even though it was a little late, Su Ruoyun didn't feel sleepy at all.
She personally designed the layout of the restaurant and decorated it herself, and she had an indescribable feeling in her heart.
Very excited and looking forward to it.
It feels like she is running a store by herself.
Instead of always relying on Aunt San.
And Third Aunt told her to just go for it and not worry about anything else.
If it weren't for her Third Aunt's encouragement, she wouldn't have had this confidence.
Besides, the reason why she dared to think about doing business now was because she had learned so much knowledge and skills from her third aunt before, which laid a foundation for her to have the opportunity to open a restaurant herself.
Moreover, she had money in her hands, which was the dividends distributed to her by her third aunt every month.
This is enough for her to open a restaurant and hire people for decoration and design.
She had thought it all out: the first floor would be the hall, the second floor would be the private room, and the third floor would be the private room.
In this way, the first floor is like a restaurant, where common people, martial artists and others can come to eat.
The restaurant's menu includes both common dishes and expensive meals.
Su Ruoyun thought that the price should not be too high and exclude ordinary people.
She remembered that when she was in Liuhe Village, she once passed by a restaurant in their town and the waiter looked at her with his nose in the air.
It seemed that in his eyes, the ordinary farmers who were dressed in simple clothes were not even qualified to pass through the door of the restaurant.
Su Ruoyun still remembers that look clearly.
So although her restaurant is high-end, it also allows ordinary people to go in and eat.
Everyone can drink water for free on the first floor.
You need to set up a special place to collect water.
You can make some barley tea.
She thought the barley tea wine that her third aunt had made earlier was delicious and thirst-quenching.
The second floor has private rooms, and some young men from well-off families can go to the private rooms on the second floor.
The third floor can be set as a symbol of status, and the decoration should be more exquisite and prosperous.
Family members can go to the third floor for dinner, and some people of status who are particular about the environment can go to the third floor.
The design style should also be different.
As Su Ruoyun thought about it, she sketched out a design in her mind.
"Luckily, Auntie San taught me and Sister Ruoqing how to draw schoolbag and clothing designs, which taught us how to create designs. Otherwise, we really wouldn't know how to design a restaurant."
“Everything I learned was useful.”
Su Ruoyun was busy until midnight before going to bed.
…
Then the whole family started to get busy.
A few days later, some people who went to build the city wall were able to receive twenty cents every day after work, and they were very excited.
"Our prefect was right. It really was twenty cents a day, settled on the same day."
"Yes, yes, it's true. We've been working for so many days and we get 20 cents a day."
"That's right, we must trust the prefect who has come."
"Our current prefect is a good official."
"You can really go to work, isn't it?"
"The copper coins couldn't possibly be fake. Yamen runners were patrolling back and forth, so no one dared to cause trouble. They finished their work in the evening, collected their wages, and could go home."
"It's true, not fake. People in charge don't bully others."
"No one dares to whip anyone. The people in charge are all appointed by the prefect himself. No one is beaten. As long as you work hard, you will register again every day. If you don't want to work, no one will bother you if you don't go the next day..."
Many people held the copper coins and talked excitedly to the people around them.
Some went straight back to the village and talked to the villagers.
Many villages are now holding meetings overnight.
Gather all the villagers together to discuss this matter.
"Everyone knows that the new prefect has posted a notice that as long as you work hard to repair the city wall, you will be paid 20 cents a day on the same day. It is also the slack season for farming, so if anyone wants to work, they can give it a try."
The villagers were all excited when they heard this, but also a little uncertain.
"Is it true or false?"
"That's right. The prefect said it was nice. There are really a lot of people working. They registered and had to work even if they didn't want to, and they didn't get paid."
"Even those in charge are appointed by the aristocratic families. They are powerful and influential. They can beat someone to death with a whip, and no one will care."
Many villagers still didn't believe it, although some of them really wanted to work and earn the twenty cents a day.
Twenty cents can buy four pounds of miscellaneous grains.
If the family saves a little, it can last for a while.
But everyone had concerns in their hearts, and they didn't know whether this prefect was a good person or a bad person.
Everyone now understands that the officials at the top are protecting each other.
Ordinary people like them cannot fight against officials.
There is a righteous way: "Our village is close to the city wall, and it is very convenient to walk back and forth. Everyone can come back for lunch. I heard that there is a break for more than half an hour at noon. Our villager Maodan went to repair the city wall. What he said when he came back must be true."
"I heard that the prefect is a good official."
The village head also thought that if the villagers had some work to do, they could earn some money and have a better time in winter.
Although they have a well-developed water system, the winters are also very cold and wet.
It is not suitable to go out to work, so it is right to store more food.
It is also worthwhile to earn copper coins to buy food.
The Maodan that the headman was talking about was an orphan in their village who grew up eating at many people's homes.
When he grew up, he naturally didn't like to eat the food given by the villagers.
He was also worried about starving to death, so when others were watching and hesitating, he went to repair the city wall. Unexpectedly, everything was fine and he could really get paid every day.
He also remembered the villagers' kindness, so he told the villagers the information when he came back.
Maodan said, "It's true. We saw the prefect the other day when we were repairing the city wall. I heard the yamen runners next to him call him 'Prefect'. He was very handsome and seemed like a very nice person."
"I even asked a few people out of concern, and they all said the prefect was very kind and didn't discriminate against anyone."
"And they'll be paid twenty cents a day. I heard the prefectural government is going to recruit some craftsmen to build a school and other things, and they're also looking for some laborers to tear down and rebuild the shops at the dock..."
"I don't quite understand it, but it seems like as long as you work hard, you can get paid. There's so much work, I can probably do it for a month or two."
Maodan calculated in his mind, twenty cents a day, six hundred cents a month.
If he saved a little, he could earn 1,200 coins in two months, which was enough for him to eat for a year.
The villagers knew Maodan's character, he was honest and would never tell lies.
Moreover, some villagers saw Maodan carrying a large bag of grain back at night.
This is not fake.
Everyone did the math in their minds and figured they could earn more than one or two taels of silver in two months.
Even if they don't rely on crops, with these jobs, every household can have a good New Year and won't have to go hungry.
By the beginning of spring, they can plant more land. Even though the fields are not as good as before, if they take the time to repair the city wall or do some work, it will be enough to feed the family.
Many people's hearts suddenly became hot.
