There were indeed many people around him who had retired from the battlefield, and some of them stayed with him when they found that there was no one at home and nowhere to go.

There are also many who have been wounded on the battlefield and cannot find a job outside to make ends meet after retiring, because no owner is willing to hire someone with a disability to help them.

These soldiers have been following him to fight bloody battles on the battlefield, not to mention the future, not even a life. He felt guilty, and although he used his monthly money to help them, it was only a drop in the bucket.

If Yue'er's workshop can be built smoothly and a sugar store is opened, it can help settle some people, which is a way out.

The daughter did not come to him for help, on the contrary, the daughter came to help him.

Yue'er has grown up, and she sees all his difficulties, and now she can help him. Xiao Pingyuan was relieved, touched the top of Xiao Jinyue's head with a smile and said, "Now that you are grown up and sensible, you can help your father, not bad." As many people as you want, Dad will give it to you. ”

Xiao Jinyue smiled and said, "Okay, then dad will give me twenty people first." ”

Xiao Pingyuan nodded, "It's no problem to give you manpower, it's just that you have figured it out, how to keep the method of making sugar secret?" ”

Referring to this, Xiao Jinyue looked at her father seriously and said, "As far as I know, these candies I made are currently the only ones in our Yuankang Dynasty. I want to make this business bigger, so the method of making sugar must be in my own hands.

People's hearts are unpredictable, and anyone who is willing to go to the workshop must sign a deed of sale. The contract is ten years, and after ten years, go and stay at will. If there are those who are willing to stay, they can choose to stay. If you don't want to stay, I'll return the contract.

In addition, I plan to set up a school, and people in the workshop, if they have children at home, can send them to the school. There is no need to deal with each other, and the books, pen, ink, paper, and inkstones needed are provided by the school, and three meals are also included.

Of course, for those who are willing to work in the workshop, I will pay them a monthly silver every month, three meals a day, and clothes for all seasons. ”

Xiao Pingyuan heard this, and thought thoughtfully, "You plan to use the money you earn from opening a sugar shop to maintain the operation of the school?" ”

"That's right. So, Dad, whoever goes to the workshop, must sign a contract. Otherwise, if the method of making sugar leaks out, the sugar store will not be able to open, and everything will be empty talk. ”

"Okay, Dad will make it clear to them that if there are people who are willing to go to the workshop, they will sign the contract, and if they are unwilling, then forget it." Those soldiers who were wounded in the battlefield and retired went to work in his daughter's workshop, although they could not be rich and rich, but it was a way out. It's good that I have repeatedly hit a wall outside in the past, and I can't find a job because I can't find a job.

The sugar made by Yue'er is still the only one, and it will continue to be managed well, follow Yue'er, not to mention glory and wealth, at least it can ensure food and clothing, and it is not a problem to feed the family.

"Dad, when I make money in the future, I'll build you an iron horse."

"Okay, daddy waits." Xiao Pingyuan laughed heartily, but he didn't take it to heart, but he thought that his daughter had overheard his conversation with his wife, and knew that he had always wanted to build an iron horse, so he promised him.

Xiao Jinyue smiled and didn't explain much.

Xiao Pingyuan thought that this was just a casual remark from his daughter, but unexpectedly, one day in the future, Xiao Jinyue really helped him build an iron horse.

To work in the workshop, you have to sign a ten-year deed of sale, and I thought it wouldn't go too well. Unexpectedly, it was only half an hour, and his father prepared all the manpower for her.

I heard that when I went to work in the workshop, not only did I have a fixed monthly silver every month, including food and shelter, but also clothes for the four seasons, and most importantly, the children in the family could also be sent to the church to study.

With such good conditions, almost everyone is vying to go.

For those soldiers who have retired from the battlefield due to injury or old age, and cannot even guarantee food and clothing, these benefits offered by Xiao Jinyue are too tempting.

Not to mention signing a ten-year deed of sale, or signing a lifetime, they are all willing.

Especially if there are children in the family, they even propose not to have moon silver or clothes, as long as their children can go to school.

Everyone is scrambling to go to the workshop, but one workshop can't accommodate so many people.

Xiao Pingyuan picked twenty of them, twelve of whom had retreated from the battlefield with him, and eight of whom were young people between the ages of fifteen and twenty.

Xiao Jinyue looked at the twenty people who were brought to her, although their eyes were clear and the clothes on their bodies were quite clean and neat, but they had patches.

It can already be seen from this that the lives of these people are really not good.

Xiao Jinyue first explained the requirements and conditions for going to the workshop, and then asked them about their wishes, and they really wanted to work in the workshop, so that the chief steward signed a contract for them.

There are manpower, but there is still a lack of a steward. Before Xiao Jinyue could speak, the second manager ran to recommend himself.

Xiao Jinyue had a good impression of him, so she nodded in response.

Xiao Jinyue doesn't like to procrastinate, so since she has decided, she will act immediately. She asked the second steward to go to the carriage and horse shop, find a few big carts, and take these people to the newly bought Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing.

Then she took the ginkgo and the silver ticket and followed her to the grange.

This grange was newly bought by the Xue family not long ago, and Xiao Jinyue, accompanied by the head of the village, took a hasty stroll.

Zhuangzi is not big, but it is barely enough. Xiao Jinyue chose a suitable place, then drew drawings, asked the head of the village to find a craftsman who could build a house, and asked the second steward to bring people to buy all the materials needed.

The craftsmen were available, and the materials were ready, so Xiao Jinyue asked them to start work immediately.

She took the white fruit with her and also lived on the Zhuangzi.

There was plenty of manpower, money to back it up, and there was no shortage of materials, but in a few days, a brand new workshop was built.

The second steward stood in front of the workshop with the twenty workers, and his heart was full of a sense of accomplishment.

Although this large workshop was built by craftsmen with a few apprentices, the twenty of them were all participants.

This is a workshop that they themselves helped build, which was not possible before.

In the future, they will work in this workshop that they personally participated in the construction, and the thought that in the future, they can not only work here for a monthly payment, but even live in it, and everyone can't help but feel full of anticipation.

Perhaps, they followed the second girl here, and they really came to the right place.

Xiao Jinyue saw the sense of belonging in their eyes, and she was also very satisfied.

People's hearts are unpredictable, and although they sign a contract, it is difficult to guarantee that something else will happen.

I personally participated in the construction of the workshop, and I feel a sense of belonging, and I hope that in the future, if someone wants to bribe them to leak the sugar production method, they will not forget their original intentions.

Xiao Jinyue looked at the workshop made of clay in front of her, and sighed in her heart.

Although she knew the recipe for burning bricks, the current conditions did not allow it. Her father's position is too low, and this method is tantamount to a crime for her family.

Forget it, you can't become fat in one bite, so take your time.

The workshop was built, and it had to be dried for two days before it could be put into use. Xiao Jinyue plans to take advantage of this time to go back to Beijing first to help the prince of Zhenguo take his pulse and see the effect of Imperial Doctor Zheng on his detoxification.
