Han Zhongyu listened without comment, and simply nodded in agreement.
"Later, I'll have Liu Nan and the others take some people to mark out a small stall here, about one or two meters in size, set a uniform rental price, and post the notice."
"Yes, that's fine. But some of these vendors will definitely sell their own goods, and they probably won't come every day. How about we separate the one-meter and two-meter stalls? The two-meter stalls can be rented out annually, while the one-meter stalls can be rented out daily. This would allow for flexible management."
However, green belts must be left on both sides. The flowers and trees on both sides of the road must not be damaged at will. Later, I will have someone build two public toilets in the middle of the road. You have someone put up some signs in the name of the government, saying that urinating or defecating indiscriminately is prohibited, and those caught will be fined twenty copper coins!
"Assign a few more people to be responsible for the sanitation management of these two sections of road. I'll have Qu Xiaodie arrange these minor matters, but posting the slogans in the name of the government will be more intimidating."
Han Zhongyu responded
"I'll have Liu Nan and the others handle it later. If there's anything else you need me to do, just let me know."
"Let me think about it!"
"That's all right here. You go ahead and take care of your business. Come cut the ribbon for me on opening day. As the highest representative of the prefecture, it'll be more effective for publicity if you do it."
"It would be my great honor!"
The two chatted for a few more minutes before going to rest. As it was getting late, neither Han Zhongyu and his servant nor Liu Qiang returned to the city; instead, they went back to their own courtyards.
The lights in all the courtyards were on, and the resort was brightly lit and bustling with activity for the first time.
The next morning, after breakfast, everyone who was supposed to go to the yamen went, and Xuanyuan Che also took a few guards to Han Zhongyu's place.
After a night's rest, the Lu and Wang families were no longer tired from their journey. Upon hearing that the pampered prince had left with Lord Han, they felt much more at ease and began to wander around the manor.
After exploring the inner courtyard, we went to the outer courtyard, and after that, we picked a few watermelons from the field.
After we finished eating, we went up the mountain to see the orchard.
Xie Yushu then convened a small meeting with Qu Xiaodie, Aunt Sun, and Wang Wu's wife, mainly to discuss the recruitment matter.
Both women are organized and efficient. Xie Yushu plans to have one manage the supermarket and the other manage the toiletries workshop. These two places don't require many people and are easy to manage; the two of them can handle them.
Four or five people are enough for the supermarket, and six to eight people are enough for the workshop. We can extract the floral essential oils inside the resort and then hand them over to the workshop to make soaps, face creams and other personal care products.
The two men each managed a different area, and their monthly salary increased from five hundred copper coins to three taels of silver.
The reason for calling Nanxing was to ask him to go back and check on his father's recovery. If his condition was good, he wanted to ask his parents, siblings, and other relatives if they would come to work.
Nanxing was very happy to hear this. Although he had never mentioned his family to Xie Yushu, he was delighted to know that he could see his family again. He greeted Xie Yushu and went home.
Xie Yushu had never met the other family members and didn't know their character, so she didn't cause them any trouble. However, Wang Shi heard that Xie Yushu's business outside was hiring and wanted her brothers to come and work there.
Wang's brother, Xie Yushu, had an impression of him, or rather, the original owner of the body had an impression of him. He was an honest person, so he agreed.
Liu Qiaomei also asked for a spot for her father.
Furthermore, Xie Yumin insisted on staying here to find work. Xie Tianming was already here, and Wang Shi didn't want Xie Yumin to stay any longer, since she didn't have any children with her. She was afraid Xie Yumin would miss her children, but she couldn't persuade Xie Yumin otherwise, so she had to agree.
Xie Yushu then asked Xie Yumin to work at the supermarket, giving her a separate monthly salary of one tael of silver, while the others received three hundred copper coins plus fifty copper coins for full attendance, with room and board provided.
Of course, all the light jobs paid this wage, while those doing the hard work in the factory received 500 copper coins a month, plus 50 copper coins for full attendance, and room and board were also provided.
If it's close by, go home and just eat.
It was initially decided to recruit according to this standard.
Xie Yushu wrote a notice and posted it outside the villa, asking Aunt Su to go out with Madam Sun and Wang Wu's wife to select people after the official completion of the project.
Nanxing's home is near Jinyang City, and it's quick to get there by boat, taking only a day. He hadn't been back for over a year, and his home had changed somewhat.
At least with the ten taels of silver Xie Yushu gave them, the family bought three acres of wasteland and reclaimed it. Now they can still make ends meet for the family, but life is still very difficult.
Upon seeing Nanxing, the family members dared not recognize each other.
During the year or so that Nanxing stayed with Xie Yushu, he ate well, dressed well, and learned martial arts. His face became fuller, he had more energy, and he grew taller. Wearing a bright green, narrow-sleeved outfit and carrying a large sword that was more than half a person's length long, he looked like a disciple of some martial arts sect at first glance.
Nanxing's parents were watering the vegetables in the yard. When they saw Nanxing, they stared at her blankly for a long time until she called out "Dad, Mom." Only then did the couple react. Nanxing's mother immediately put down the bucket of water with tears in her eyes and went forward to ask...
"Da Ya?"
Are you Daya?
"It's me, Mother. Are you all alright?"
"Okay, okay, you've grown taller and fatter. Come inside."
After Nanxing's mother finished speaking, her father also put down his work and followed her into the house.
It was already evening, and everyone in the family was there. Nanxing's younger siblings were both happy and a little awkward to see her. The two younger ones looked at Nanxing and wanted to rush up and play with her as they used to, but they didn't dare to reach out because of the clothes she was wearing.
Nanxing took out the candy and pastries she had bought for them, and handed a piece of meat and a basket of eggs to her mother.
Her mother happily accepted the gift, then couldn't help but ask...
"You're not our daughter anymore, yet you still buy us these things when you come back. I hope the princess won't blame you!"
Now that Xie Yushu has become a princess, the surrounding cities all know about it.
Knowing that Nanxing was with the princess, the family felt honored, but they didn't think about trying to benefit from it. They never expected to see their daughter again. They thought that if Daya was doing well, they would feel better.
Nanxing laughed
"The princess is not a harsh person. As long as we follow the rules and do not make mistakes, she never makes things difficult for us in terms of food and clothing. She even teaches us to read and practice martial arts. Being by the princess's side is more comfortable than being an immortal."
The things I bought for you were all purchased with my own monthly allowance, so the princess won't blame me.
"Besides, my return this time was with the princess's special permission, so you can rest assured. Mother, I've been traveling all day and I'm starving. Let's cook first. I have something important to tell you, and we can talk about it while we eat."
"Okay, I'll go right away."
When Nanxing's mother heard that her daughter was hungry, she quickly took some food to the kitchen.
Seeing this, Nanxing followed. The mother and daughter hadn't been together for a long time, and besides business, they also had a lot to talk about.
