Princess of the auxiliary country

The Duke of Ding, Li Jiujun, was a very smart man. Although he was the left prime minister at the head of hundreds of officials, he never interfered too much in the affairs of the court.

Only when I have to come forward, I will say a few words, and I am very low-key in everything I do.

Therefore, although he is the leader of a hundred officials in name, in fact his behavior is not like this.

Emperor Zhaowu was both helpless and satisfied with this.

Of course, the more important thing is to rest assured that the relationship between the two is also very harmonious.

Whenever there was a more important war, Emperor Zhaowu would also ask Li Jiujun, the left prime minister, to take charge of the battle.

"Haha, if Li Aiqing takes command, this battle will be a sure victory."

Emperor Zhaowu had great trust in Li Jiujun's ability. What's more, didn't Ning Guogong Cheng Yong just say that he would still be a vanguard?

These are the two most powerful generals under him.

"Jingzhi, this time your family has achieved great merit again."

As soon as Emperor Zhaowu said these words, several ministers nearby looked at Huo Jingzhi in surprise.

"The emperor has rewarded you. What does a little girl like her know? It was just an unintentional meddling."

Huo Jingzhi smiled very modestly.

"Oh? Your Majesty, I wonder what is going on?"

Fang Qiao asked curiously.

Others are also curious as to why this matter has anything to do with this little girl Zhao De.

Seeing that they were so curious, Emperor Zhaowu didn't hide it and told the story directly.

"I didn't expect it to be like this."

"Princess Zhaode is really aware of the subtleties."

After understanding what happened, the officials all admired Huo Junyao, and were also surprised at the little girl's intelligence and vision.

It was actually possible to analyze the serious situation in the Turks from the price of mutton in the capital.

"My little girl cannot deserve such praise from you wise brothers."

When he said this, Huo Jingzhi grinned almost to his ears.

Seeing him like this, other people also found it funny, but they were also really envious. Look at how capable this girl is.

Huo Junyao didn't care about the court affairs. Shantou had been purchased, and the development had to be planned during this period.

But at the moment, she doesn't have any other good projects, so she's busy sorting out the brick kiln.

Once she had the land, her original idea was to build ten brick kilns.

As for the workers, they should be drawn from her five hundred houses.

Of course, she will also give some wages to those who are selected to work, three cents per person per day.

Even though it was only three cents, it was considered a high salary in the Yu Dynasty.

No, she found the steward of Xiaohuangzhuang. As soon as she finished speaking, the steward became excited. Looking at it, he seemed to want to join.

Just kidding, three cents a day, that’s ninety cents a month. Although he is in charge, his monthly salary is only two hundred cents. Now there are ninety cents extra, which is almost half a month’s salary. .

"I have seen the situation of every household you registered before. Spring plowing cannot be delayed."

"So each family can allocate one person. If it is a household with few male laborers, then allocate women to cook for the workers."

"Remember it must be fair. I don't want to see anything messy."

Her settlement is for five hundred households, and the people are all selected by Princess Ningyang. The minimum number of people in each household is five.

"I understand, Princess, don't worry."

This steward was selected by the eldest princess Ningyang. Not only is he very capable, he is also very honest in his conduct and work.

"Well, you go back and notify them first, and then register all the willing people from each household and send the list over so that I can make the distribution."

"Yes." The steward stepped back and immediately summoned the heads of each family when he returned to Xiaohuangzhuang. When he explained the matter, everyone was very happy.

Three cents a day is enough for both young and old, and only one person from each family is assigned, so the spring plowing will not be delayed.

"My lord in charge, do women's wages also have to be the same?"

"Yes."

Everyone became even more happy, and many people had already made plans in their hearts to let their daughters or wives do it. This way, not only would the work in the field not be delayed, but they could also make money every day.

But the next moment, the steward's words shattered their illusions.

"The princess has said that she knows the situation of each household. This time they mainly need strong labor. Only those families with less strong labor will send girls. Not every family can produce girls."

As soon as he said this, many people with large families felt very disappointed.

But it was only for a moment. After all, everyone had a share, and those families with a small population were only a minority after all, so it was fair.

Soon, each household reported the people they had selected.

There are twelve households in a family of five. According to Huo Junyao, the children of these twelve households are all women.

In addition to this family of five, there are seven other families with more girls and girls.

In total, there are 480 female workers and [-] male workers.

Huo Junyao was very satisfied after getting the list.

There are 48 people in one kiln. Although this is a lot, in fact, in this era of pure artificial intelligence, 48 people per kiln is really not that many.

After all, bricks need to be made by hand, as well as fired and transported.

However, there is an extra male worker, which is a bit embarrassing.

After much deliberation, she asked the supervisor to replace a male worker with a female worker, so that twenty female workers would be responsible for boiling water and cooking.

With two meals a day at noon and afternoon, it should be no problem for 20 people to serve hundreds of people.

As for the manager, she was not left behind. She gave his family a young and strong laborer who was responsible for purchasing grain and vegetables, and the salary was the same as three cents a day.

But then the problem came.

Five hundred and one people, no one earns three cents a day, so at the end of the day, they need one thousand five hundred and three cents, which is a total of five hundred and three cents.

She only has more than ten thousand dollars left on her hands now, which can't even pay her a few days' salary.

"I'm worried, how can I get some money first?"

At night, lying on the bed, she tossed and turned a little.

"Miss, if you really need money, I have a solution."

Wang Xia suddenly spoke.

"Oh?"

Huo Junyao immediately sat up, stared at Wangxia with burning eyes and asked, "Tell me, what can I do?"

"The braised sauce made by Miss is very good. Have you ever thought about releasing this recipe?"

"You mean, sell the formula to those big restaurants in the capital?"

Just thinking about it for a moment, Huo Junyao's eyes immediately lit up.

This thing is great. She can currently come up with two recipes, braised food and bean sprouts.

As for tofu, it has been spread out, and as for hot pot, there are currently no chili peppers in other places and there is no way to sell it.

"Well, Hong Xiu, you can take some braised food and bean sprouts to the restaurants in the capital tomorrow and ask if anyone wants to buy them."

"Okay lady, how much do you want to sell it for?"

Hearing this, Huo Junyao pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "I don't know either. You first go to each house and ask to see how much they can offer. Write them down one by one. Then I will see what the appropriate bid is."
