Then the two of them returned to the reception room to finalize the details.

Mr. Rong finally warned: "After the agreement is signed, County Magistrate Yu should take care of himself and don't lose so much that he won't even have pants to wear!"

Yu Jiuer smiled and said, "I'm afraid this will disappoint Mr. Rong!"

Want to see her lose her pants? Is it possible?

This year the soybean output is high, so she plans to open a soy sauce factory and a fermented bean curd factory at the same time, and then a soap factory in the future. She wants to realize her ambitions on the land where she was reborn.

However, this time she acted first and asked for permission later, so her family would probably hold a family meeting to criticize her again.

Sure enough, Yu Jiuer went back and expressed her idea.

The second uncle was so angry that he beat his chest and stamped his feet: "This is 10,000 people, not 1,000! It's hard enough to support 5,000 Yinshan people, Jiuer, you are pushing yourself!"

The eldest lady kept stirring the handkerchief in her hand and said in a deep voice, "You are too bold. What can I say to you?"

"You still want us to help you with logistics? Do you want to tire us to death?" Several concubines also went on strike.

Even her sisters, who had finally built up trust in her recently, were silent.

Yu Jiuer sighed: Okay, the fans have collectively rebelled!

"My dear family, you have never eaten dishes cooked with soy sauce, nor have you tried fermented bean curd. If I let you try it once, you will definitely agree!"

After hearing this, the second uncle jumped up in shock: "Jiu'er, are you sick again?"

Yu Jiuer: "......"

She actually forgot the original owner's previous personality - glutton!

Yu Jiuer really wanted to slap herself in the face: You said the wrong thing, you said the wrong thing, why did you have to talk about food when there were so many other things to say?

She'd better not eat delicious food in her life! Otherwise, she will be sick!

Yu Jiuer quickly tried to make amends: "I still want to make soap! That stuff can't be eaten! Oh! Ever since I disguised myself as a man, have I ever done anything that I'm not sure of? Can you please trust me again?"

"Then wait until you make the so-called soap and soy sauce. If it doesn't work, go to Xiguanying to admit your mistake and annul the agreement!" The eldest lady couldn't persuade her in the end, and sighed helplessly, "When the prisoners come, we won't let them starve to death!"

Yu Jiuer nodded hurriedly: "Okay, as for food, if you don't have enough manpower, you can recruit from the people. I have plenty of money!"

After Yu Jiuer finished explaining, she quickly left and did not dare to tell them that Military Advisor Rong, the troublemaker, had asked her to sign a humiliating clause in the agreement: "If either party breaches the contract in advance, they will pay the other party 12,000 taels of silver as compensation."

But she is confident that her things will definitely amaze these ancient people!

--------

After the people rested for a few days and recovered, they all thought about repairing the road. Without Yu Jiuer's instructions, everyone started working spontaneously and was busy in full swing.

With more than 5,000 people working together and concentrating on their work, the road construction progressed quite quickly.

On the other hand, after hearing about Yu Jiuer's plan to build a factory, Jun Mo fulfilled his promise to help her open up wasteland ahead of schedule and sent all his 10,000 personal soldiers to help Yu Jiuer open up the wasteland.

Yu Jiuer was still a little worried. It was agreed before that 30% of the food grown from the land reclamation would be given to him, but now she wanted to reclaim the land to build a factory! How could this be calculated?

Although Jun Mo didn't say that he wanted a share of her factory shares, but she was reclaiming the land instead of farming. Wouldn't this cheating backfire?

After struggling for two days, Yu Jiuer finally found some time to talk to Jun Mo.

Unexpectedly, Jun Mo was so generous that he actually said, "My 10,000 personal soldiers are quite idle right now. If you need them, feel free to use them. Just provide them with food!"

Nani?

Is Prince Jing going crazy?

Yu Jiuer couldn't calm down for a long time after hearing these words. She racked her brains but couldn't figure out why Jun Mo supported her so much.

In the end, it was her second uncle's words that put her at ease: "He must want to wait until Yinshan County develops and becomes stronger, so that he can take the credit!"

Yu Jiuer also felt that this was the most convincing reason.

However, Yu Jiuer used the free labor without mercy. As for him wanting to steal the credit from her?

What's wrong with giving him a little? She has made a lot of contributions and is so willful!

These ten thousand people were truly invincible. They worked like silkworms eating mulberry leaves, "swish, swish, swish". In just a few days, they had pulled out all the weeds from dozens of acres of wasteland.

Fifteen days passed in a flash. Yu Jiuer had successfully made fermented tofu and soap, but the soy sauce needed time to dry, so it was not taken out.

But the two things she brought out were already very popular with her family.

When the factory becomes profitable, they will definitely look upon her with new eyes, just as they did when she first built the farm.

As soon as the fifteenth day arrived, Mr. Rong couldn't wait to rush all the prisoners to the county town to Yu Jiuer, without wasting a moment.

When Yu Jiuer met them, she asked first: "Have you eaten everything?"

"I haven't eaten yet!" Mr. Rong answered without any embarrassment.

"You're so reluctant to give breakfast to the prisoners that you just deliver it to them? You're really something!" Yu Jiuer finally found someone who was more shameless than her.

"You said you wanted to take care of them, and I didn't force you to do so. I've handed them over to you, but you should let them go back to the Great Wall residence at night! According to the agreement, they will build the Great Wall tomorrow, and I will send them back the day after tomorrow!"

After Mr. Rong finished his instructions, he left quickly, as if he was afraid that Yu Jiuer would go back on her word.

Yu Jiuer looked at the lifeless prisoner, picked up the megaphone, cleared her throat and said:

"Everyone, from now on, you have a new life! In the past, when you were building the Great Wall, you only had a few meals to eat and were beaten. Now, I want you to join my team and help me work. I will protect you. As long as you do what I say, I will not only make sure you have enough food and clothes, but also let you live with dignity!"

This finally aroused the interest of some prisoners. One prisoner asked: "How do you give us dignity? Since we became prisoners, the word 'dignity' has disappeared from our lives!"

Yu Jiuer took out the contract she had written in advance: "Because there is this employment contract!

The content of the contract is: On odd days, you will work for me for four hours, and you can rest after completing the tasks I assign to you; on even days, you will work in Xiguan Camp for four hours, and you can go home and sleep after completing the tasks in Xiguan Camp, and you no longer have to work from morning to night like before.

In addition, you will be given four days off a month, and those who perform well will receive monetary rewards! However, you still have to sign your work permit every day. This is not because we are worried that you will run away, but because we want to give an explanation to the court."

The Dadong Dynasty had very strict punishments for escaped prisoners. If one person escaped, the entire clan would suffer, and the fugitive would not be able to survive outside.

After hearing what Yu Jiuer said, the prisoners became nervous. They looked around and talked a lot. They didn't believe that God would still favor them?

Someone asked: "Wouldn't that task be difficult to complete? There are rewards and penalties. If we can't complete it, won't we be punished?"

Yu Jiuer smiled and said, "If you can't finish it, you have to work harder the next day to finish all the work before you rest! It's not that strict here, as long as you don't get lazy, you will definitely be able to finish it.

As for repairing the Great Wall, it is just the amount of work you normally ask for. I believe that as long as you are willing to work hard, you will be able to complete it on time, right?"

The prisoners were silent, but they all knew in their hearts that when they were building the Great Wall, they were all dawdling and killing time together.

If they could do as the county magistrate promised, that they could rest as long as they could finish the work for four hours, then they would definitely be able to complete it.

"Have breakfast first! Think about it while you eat. If you have made up your mind, come over here and give me your fingerprints. If you don't agree, you can go back to Xiguanying and continue to build the Great Wall as before."

After Yu Jiuer finished speaking, she had breakfast carried to the newly developed factory site and invited the prisoners to come over to eat.

Seeing the white rice and steamed buns that could only be eaten during the New Year and other festivals, many of the prisoners immediately pressed their fingerprints: "Anyway, there is nothing worse than building the Great Wall. At worst, I'll die. I agree!"

"I agree too!"

......

Before they even finished their breakfast, all the prisoners had put their fingerprints on the document.

God has given them too few choices. They are powerless to fight back and can only hope that this county magistrate, who is said to be very powerful, can keep his promise!

Picking up the paper covered with handprints, Yu Jiuer smiled knowingly and said happily:

"Everyone is welcome to join the construction of Yinshan County! I hereby declare that you are no longer prisoners, but my workers, without distinction of high or low status.

Whether it is the people of Yinshan or you, I will treat you equally and fairly, and welcome everyone to boldly put forward suggestions and opinions!

Then we start assigning work.”

There were several members of the Liang family among these ten thousand people. Yu Jiu first called them out and let Liang Zihu take them back to his residence.

She had agreed with Liang Zihu before that his family members all knew medicine, so after they arrived, they would work directly with Liang Zihu to manage the county medical clinic newly established by Yu Jiuer.
