Accountant Song and Jiang Shuhe also deserve credit, each receiving 1,500 taels.
Zhao Wu received 1,000 taels, while Wei Dong and the others received several hundred taels each.
Mu Yi'an earned over 100,000 taels of silver himself, so this really isn't much.
The others remained unchanged, continuing to do their own thing.
Jiang Shuhe already knew that his wife and children were at the estate in the prefectural city, and he also knew what had happened.
When Mu Yi'an asked for his opinion, he decided to stay at the manor in the prefectural city.
There are some things he can't criticize, but he can distance himself from them to show his attitude.
After working hard for more than a year, Manager Wei and his team were very satisfied to receive so much silver.
Silver is one thing, but one's status within the master's household is the key.
The others went down, but the Wei father and son stayed behind.
"Madam, Wei Dong wants to go to the Northwest again next year."
"Go again? Isn't there someone in charge over there?"
Manager Wei bought several households of servants and put them in charge of several thousand acres of land in the Northwest.
These people are all bound by contract, some even have families to support, and with Lord Jiang and his men keeping an eye on things, there won't be any problems.
"Madam, I've seen a lot on this trip to the Northwest."
I want to become familiar with this road before the second young master grows up.
Wei Dong spent more than a year in Northwest China and quite liked it.
They ate meat and drank alcohol heartily, without many rules; everyone was quite straightforward.
"Wei Dong, have you ever thought about joining the army? You have martial arts skills, you might have a good future."
"If you'd like, I can try to help you get rid of your citizenship."
Mu Yi'an felt it was a pity; at the age of seventeen or eighteen, there were other paths to take.
"Thank you for thinking of me, but I don't want to go to the army."
"Why? Are you afraid of something unexpected happening?"
"No, I don't really like being controlled. Although being a servant means not being free, the master and mistress are kind-hearted, and we live a very free life."
"The army has strict discipline, which I don't like. My plan is to thoroughly understand the Northwest and the army so that I can provide logistical support wherever the second young master goes."
Wei Dong did not yearn for freedom, and life was not easy for ordinary people either.
Mu Yi'an looked at Manager Wei, wanting to know his thoughts.
"Madam, I agree as well."
Manager Wei didn't yearn for freedom either. After all, what's the point of living if not to eat well, drink well, and live a peaceful life?
As for bringing glory to their ancestors, forget it; they don't even know who their ancestors were.
Even their surnames were bestowed upon them by their former masters. Living such a peaceful life is better than anything else.
Mu Yi'an agreed to Wei Dong's request, telling him to learn more skills from Mr. Liang and the others, because at any time, survival is the most important thing.
After a busy day, Mu Yi'an could finally catch her breath.
