Qin Fang said, "I will arrange for my father and uncle to manage the barracks fields. Each of them will manage 100 mu. My mother and aunt will prepare three meals for the soldiers. Each of them will have ten soldiers under them. The monthly salary for managing the barracks fields is 500 coins a month, and the monthly salary for preparing meals for three people is 200 coins a month. The soldiers' food is provided by the barracks. The steward and the messenger eat with the soldiers. If they want to have extra meals, they have to pay for it themselves."
Yang Haiyan glared at Qin Fang. This guy was too straightforward. She explained, "There are crops and food in the barracks fields. After my father, mother, uncle and aunt go there, Pigs, chickens and ducks can all be raised, and the soldiers will be responsible for feeding the poultry. When the time comes, meat can be added to the meals, so that everyone can eat meat. "The soldiers can prepare food before and after training every day, and they can eat well, and they are also happy.
Qin Fang hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, that's what Yanyan said."
Qin's father and mother, as well as Qin's uncle and aunt Qin calculated in their hearts and felt that this was still a good deal. Moreover, they originally knew that the manager of the military camp field had a monthly salary of 500 coins, but they didn't expect that they could get a monthly salary of 200 coins for cooking for ten soldiers, so they were still very happy.
After Qin's father, Qin's mother and others' affairs were arranged, Uncle Qin started talking about Niu Dan with some embarrassment: "Afang, your aunt and I will not come here anymore. We will stay in our hometown and look after the fields there. Now that everyone is here, our hometown needs someone too." Aunt Qin did not want to come over, for one thing, and Uncle Qin thought that his hometown also needed someone to look after it, and he thought it was good for him to look after his hometown by himself. "So... so what your aunt meant was, can Niu Dan follow you and teach him. Niu Dan does not like to study, and he has been a farmer all his life following your uncle. In the past, our family did not have the conditions, so we just farmed. Now that you have made progress, your uncle is thinking, can I ask you to see what Niu Dan can do?" Uncle Qin said, and his face turned red. He was originally an honest man, and he felt a little embarrassed to ask his nephew to look after his son. Because he felt embarrassed, he said, "Don't worry, I will pay for all the expenses of Niu Dan. When the land in our hometown is planted and the grain is harvested, I will also pay for it."
Although Aunt Qin didn't say anything about the expenses of Niu Dan, Uncle Qin was embarrassed to take advantage of his nephew.
Qin Fang said, "I know what Niu Dan is about. You can leave him here without worry. Just one thing, I can't interfere with how Niu Dan is disciplined after he is here." Uncle Qin said, "
I will definitely not interfere. If he doesn't listen, you can beat him." In Uncle Qin's mind, if a child doesn't listen, he will be beaten, so he doesn't care.
Grandpa Qin said, "I will let the second son look after Niu Dan. If Niu Dan doesn't listen, even if Fang doesn't have the heart to teach him a lesson, I will teach him. As the grandfather, I am qualified to teach him on behalf of the second son."
Niu Dan swallowed his saliva and wanted to go home.
Uncle Qin hurriedly said, "No, no, Fang can teach him, I have no objection." He really had no objection.
Yang Haiyan asked, "Niu Dan is eleven years old this year, right?"
Uncle Qin said, "Yes, yes, he is eleven years old this year, one year older than Si Ya and two years younger than Shou Cheng."
Yang Haiyan said, "An eleven-year-old boy is still growing up and can't do much. In my opinion, let Niu Dan study first. Even if he can't study well, it's good for him to know some words. Let him learn to read in the morning and learn some kung fu from the private guard in the afternoon. After two years, , he will also be more clear about what he wants to do. "
Grandpa Qin said: "What Afang's wife said is reasonable, learning to read is the most important."
Yang Haiyan continued: "Let San Ya learn to read too. Although she is a girl, learning to read will be a good thing for herself and for having children after getting married. Before the child is enlightened, the mother can teach him first."
Uncle Qin thought this was a good idea. He didn't ask his daughter to be as smart as Afang's wife, but it would be good for her to know some words.
Grandpa Qin nodded and said, "Okay, it's up to you."
Qin Fang said, "Does the private school in the county accept girls?"
Yang Haiyan said, "Just hire a teacher at home. Niu Dan and San Ya will study at home together, and Shou Ye can also sit in together when the time comes."
When Qin Shouye heard this, he immediately said, "Thank you, sister-in-law." He had only attended the private school for a year and didn't know many words.
Yang Haiyan smiled: "By the way, I'm here to teach Shouye how to keep accounts. The accounts in the military camp are still here with me, so there is no way to keep them in my hands. My husband also needs to find someone he trusts to help. I think Shouye is the most suitable."
Yang Haiyan is sincere. Firstly, she doesn't want to manage the accounts, and secondly, it is better to train others than her own brothers. The Qin family has a good relationship among the brothers, and the elders of the Qin family are all sensible people, so it is appropriate to train Qin Shouye as Qin Fang's right-hand man. Although she is not an accountant, the tables she made are easier to understand than those in ancient times. So Qin Shouye is qualified.
Qin Shouye was very moved when he heard this: "Thank you, sister-in-law." Accounting can be said to be a personal skill that is not passed on to others. Of course, he was moved that his sister-in-law could teach him.
Even Qin's father and mother were moved because they didn't know what their second son was going to do. The eldest son became a general, the third son was studying, and only the second son followed them to farm. They felt bad in their hearts. Now if the second son can learn some skills from the eldest daughter-in-law, they are also happy.
Grandpa Qin looked at it and nodded. He really made the right choice to marry Afang. "In this way, we old couple will pay for the money for the master in the mansion. No matter whether it is Shouye, Niu Dan or San Ya, they cannot spend Afang and his wife's money. We will pay for the money for the master." Anyway, they are old and can't use the old woman's salary. In the future, this money will be left for the children. It is better to use it on the children's studies now.
Qin Fang wanted to object, but was stopped by Yang Haiyan: "Then we all rely on the blessing of grandpa and grandma." When people get older, they always want to prove that they are still useful. The old man and the old lady don't want to take advantage of their eldest grandson, but they don't know what they can do. It's okay for them to bear the monthly salary of the master at this time. Of course, Yang Haiyan would make up for it in other aspects. How could she let the old man and the old lady spend money?
After chatting for a while, everyone went back to rest. Qin Shouye followed Qin Shoucheng. Qin Shouxin, unwilling to be lonely, followed him. The three brothers were arm in arm, talking and laughing on the way. Qin Siya also took Qin Qiuya away. Qin Siya's chattering could be heard along the way. Occasionally, Qin Qiuya responded a few times. One had a lively personality and the other had a quiet personality. The personalities of the two sisters complemented each other.
Qin Fang and Yang Haiyan sent Grandpa Qin and the others to the gate of the yard. On the way back, Qin Fang held Yang Haiyan's hand and said, "Wife, thank you for arranging Shouye and the others." It was really good to let Shouye, Niu Dan and San Ya learn to read first. He didn't think of these. Especially, before he thought of what to let Shouye do, his wife suggested that he manage the military camp's accounts, which was also an opportunity for Shouye.
Yang Haiyan smiled and hooked his palm: "What are you thanking me for? We are husband and wife, and I hope you don't blame me for being self-willed."
Qin Fang immediately said: "No way, my wife is willing to teach, that is Shouye's blessing. But, grandpa and grandma probably don't want to live here yet, they may be more willing to go to the fields, with father and mother."
Yang Haiyan said, "If they really want to go, let them go. Prepare a maid to take them there. They won't want more than that. Send one to help my mother cook for the soldiers. After all, my mother is a seventh-rank official. This should be the first time she cooks for the soldiers."
Qin Fang thought of this and found it funny.
Yang Haiyan said, "We can go there once every ten days and bring them some delicious food to nourish their bodies. Today, my grandfather wanted to give me his monthly allowance, and I didn't refuse. I thought it was a kind gesture from the old man. We can make up for it with other money."
Qin Fang was always confident in Yang Haiyan's work.
The next day
Because the matter of the military camp fields was more urgent, the next day, Qin Fang took Grandpa Qin, Qin's father, Qin's third uncle, and Qin Shouye to look at the fields.
After Qin Fang left, Nanny Lian came: "Xiang Jun, the shopkeeper of the ready-made clothes shop has brought some ready-made clothes. What do you think?"
Yang Haiyan said: "Let's go, take someone to grandma's place, and you ask someone to say hello to the third aunt, Si Ya, and Qiu Ya, and ask them to come and have a look."
Nanny Lian: "Yes."
The shopkeeper of the ready-made clothes shop was an acquaintance of Yang Haiyan, and she had bought several sets of clothes in this ready-made clothes shop. The ready-made clothes shop was naturally happy to be able to do business with the general's mansion.
When the female shopkeeper saw Yang Haiyan, she bowed respectfully and said, "Meet the Lady of the Country." Everyone with some connections in Yunxiang County knew that the wife of the general's mansion was the Lady of the Country.
Yang Haiyan said, "No need to be polite. Some relatives have come to our house and we need to choose some clothes. The clothes should be practical and comfortable, but the style cannot be old." Yesterday afternoon, Yang Haiyan asked Nanny Lian to notify the clothing store, but the Qin family was resting yesterday afternoon, so Yang Haiyan did not let the female shopkeeper come over.
The female shopkeeper said, "Don't worry, they are all prepared according to the instructions of Nanny Lian. The materials are very comfortable and the styles are all novel, which can be accepted by ordinary simple ladies."
Yang Haiyan nodded, "Of course I believe in your vision."
The courtyard where Grandma Qin and her family lived was called Liuxin Courtyard. This name was not given by Yang Haiyan, but the original name. When Yang Haiyan brought the female shopkeeper to Liuxin Courtyard, Grandma Qin and Qin's mother were talking. When they saw Yang Haiyan coming in with people, Qin's mother said, "Yanyan is here."
