In fact, Gu An'an had many, many choices, so why did she have to go back to an old flame?
"Is this your daughter?"
When Magistrate Du saw the young girl standing there, he smiled and asked her a question.
Gu An'an then noticed the person standing there in a daze. "Zhu'er, why did you come here?"
"I... I've finished my studies, so I came to see if there's anything I can help with." The girl's heart was beating exceptionally fast as she lied, and her breathing became heavier.
Even if her lie was exposed, it wouldn't matter, but Jiang Mingzhu felt inexplicably guilty.
Perhaps it was her own long-held belief that made her feel sorry for Gu An'an.
Upon hearing this, Magistrate Du laughed and said, "Your daughter is truly adorable."
Looking at this very pretty young girl, I was surprised to find her so considerate and not at all spoiled.
In this respect, she is far superior to the daughter of Master Zhao whom I had met before.
Gu An'an laughed, "Thank you for your praise, sir. But if you need any help, Zhu'er, I happen to need your assistance."
Soon, Jiang Mingzhu received her assignment to deliver water to the people who were working.
Gu An'an naturally had her reasons for making this arrangement.
There are no female soldiers in the Great Ye Dynasty. Since Jiang Mingzhu wants to become a female general, she will inevitably have to deal with men in the future.
What does joining the army mean? For most people, if there were any other way to survive, why would they choose to join the army?
Others are ambitious individuals who want to achieve their life goals and ideals by gaining military merits on the battlefield.
Regardless of the purpose, how to deal with soldiers is an art.
Even Jiang Mingzhu will have to start from the bottom in the future, won't she?
How do men in the military overcome the challenges posed by gender differences?
These are all problems that Jiang Mingzhu has to face.
Now is a good time. Gu An'an instructed Jiang Mingzhu because she wanted her to learn how to deal with men, especially those who do manual labor.
Magistrate Du, however, seemed a little worried upon seeing this, saying, "Isn't this a bit inappropriate?"
“Children from the countryside don’t have as many formalities, and she’ll have to face this sooner or later anyway.”
Magistrate Du agreed with the first part of the sentence, but what does the second part mean?
Why did we have to face this hurdle sooner or later?
For a moment, he couldn't quite understand it.
After taking a short break, Magistrate Du continued his work. He glanced over there again and saw that the young lady from Madam Gu's family was talking to the burly man.
The man, who usually had a booming voice, spoke much more gently at this moment.
Magistrate Du couldn't help but laugh. "Are you afraid of scaring the young girl?"
He shook his head and got busy too—
While things are relatively quiet at the county government office right now, let's try to get the pigsty ready by July. Maybe by the time of the Lunar New Year, a batch of pigs will be ready to leave the pen.
Thinking of this, Magistrate Du was full of energy. But when he finished working on this batch of tower equipment, he found that Gu An'an was nowhere to be found.
The person has already left.
That's true, we can't just stay here all day long, can we? That wouldn't be appropriate.
After Jiang Mingzhu finished her work, Gu An'an waved for someone to come over.
He asked gently, "How do you feel?"
Jiang Mingzhu thought for a moment, "They all work very hard, but they are quite polite to me. I just asked and they can earn thirty coins a day for such a hard job."
"You feel the money is too little, right?"
Jiang Mingzhu nodded quite honestly, "It is a bit too little."
She remembered that her mother paid Liu Jiuniang three taels of silver a month, which was later increased to five taels. As for Xiao Wu and Xiao You, they received less, but still two taels of silver a month.
People are afraid of comparison.
Although Jiu Niang and the others worked very hard, they were sheltered from the wind and rain in the shop and earned a lot of money.
But those who built pigsties here weren't so lucky.
This is a short-term job. After I finish this month's work, I don't know if I'll be able to find such a good job next month.
“For an ordinary farming family, the annual expenses are only three to five taels of silver. For them, thirty coins a day is already a very good job.”
Jiang Mingzhu was taken aback. She had only been living a carefree life for a few days and had completely forgotten about this matter.
"Then why don't they go to our shop...? Are they illiterate?"
Jiang Mingzhu suddenly realized that these people who sold their physical strength did not know many words and could not understand the job posting.
Why would someone who has no money go to those bustling streets? Those are places where you have to spend money.
"In fact, the places where you spend money are where you have more opportunities to make money."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Mingzhu's eyes widened, her bright eyes sparkling. "I understand. And if I want to get what I want, I have to learn to be considerate of my subordinates. Otherwise, no matter how high my martial arts skills are, it's useless if the soldiers don't listen to my commands."
Gu An'an looked at the extremely intelligent girl and patted her head. "Yes, it's not easy to get your soldiers to submit to you. Even if you have high military achievements, can you fight against a hundred men by yourself? What about facing thousands of troops?"
Jiang Mingzhu's path is difficult, and Gu An'an can only offer limited assistance.
This requires the child to put in more effort.
Jiang Mingzhu nodded repeatedly, "I know Mother has good intentions. I'll come here more often recently to talk to them and get to know the situation."
"Yes, but be careful not to go too far. You'll come with me later."
She was still worried; what if someone had malicious intentions?
It would be more appropriate to come with her.
