Upon hearing this, Chi Yu paused for a moment, then asked:
"According to what you're saying, Sister Qiao, does that mean Lord Zheng used this money to hire people to do work?"
Her sister said that Lord Fang said that the conscription of people for labor service would only begin in April, and the period would only last half a month.
If Magistrate Zheng goes out today and says he wants to repair the outer city wall, it means they will have to pay for the work themselves.
Qiao nodded: "Yes! The outer city wall of Anping County is so big. Right now, the people are busy with spring plowing and also busy repairing their own houses."
But after experiencing one natural disaster after another, their lives gradually became more difficult.
Making money is the priority right now.
So, my husband, Old Zheng, took the money and hired people to repair the outer city wall.
He said that if the outer city wall is not repaired as soon as possible, the surrounding people will be unable to control themselves and will flock to Anping County.
If we get infected by their disease, all the efforts we've made in Anping County will have been in vain.
Her husband and Master Fang were indeed doing serious business, but in reality, it was also equivalent to spending money to buy favor and promotion.
Right now, the difficulties faced by both her family and her parents' family are only temporary.
Things will get better once we get through this period!
She works so hard to earn money, and it hurts to see it all spent by a man like this.
But seeing the way those ordinary people were so grateful to her husband, she couldn't help but feel proud.
Compared to men spending money on philandering or women in their harems.
She thought she would prefer to accept that men spend their money on meaningful things.
Moreover, in this situation, both her husband's family and her own family support her!
Besides, her husband's money wasn't spent for nothing.
He has made it clear to himself that he will definitely get a promotion by the end of the year.
Whether she gets promoted or continues to follow Lord Fang, she needs to discuss it with her husband's family and her own family before making a decision.
Chi Yu originally thought that the Qiao family was not short of money, and then sold her those "glass" gems in the space.
Hearing this, she exchanged a glance with her sister, and then, at the sister's prompting, stood up and said:
"Sister Qiao, I have to leave for a moment."
Without waiting for Qiao's reply, she left.
Seeing this, Mrs. Qiao couldn't help but feel somewhat disappointed.
Deep down, she still hoped to be able to do this business.
She also believed her intuition that if she could make money from this soap business, both she and her family could become the richest people in their respective cities.
But judging from Chi Yu's attitude, she felt that the other party was unwilling.
Indeed, with such a formula in hand, they could easily find anyone to collaborate with.
They could even use Qin Mu's connections to find Lord Fang and cooperate with the Zhenguo Marquis's mansion.
As Qiao was lost in thought and the entire main room fell silent, Chi Yu returned.
In her hands were two small brocade boxes.
One is smaller, and the other is wider.
Once inside the main room, she sat down in her original spot, opened the wide brocade box, and took out a clear glass mirror.
"Sister Qiao, this is called a glass mirror. It is an exquisite and fragile item. Currently, there is only one of its kind in our great Chu Kingdom."
"This is the dowry my parents left me before they passed away. He said it was a gift from the wandering Taoist priest who gave me my fortune."
As she spoke, she beckoned to Mrs. Qiao, signaling her to come over and take a look.
Mrs. Qiao did not know what she meant, but she still went over.
When they saw this mirror, made of some unknown material and dozens of times clearer than a bronze mirror, they were completely stunned.
She picked up the mirror, placed it on the table, and then took several steps back.
Even so, one can clearly see their own reflection in the mirror.
She quickly turned her head and called out to Wang Yunjuan and her daughter, "Sister Juan, Xiaofeng, come and see quickly."
