Peasant Woman's Decreed Life as a Wife

Chapter 2387: Chapter 2384: In Need of Silver

Ye Hao nodded: “If we can obtain it, we can show everyone the real use of those training content. I will take my leave first.”

“Are you planning to compete with them?” Zhao Xin noticed his intention and raised his eyebrows.

Ye Hao hesitated for a moment, then nodded frankly: “Yes, I feel like I’m lacking something, so I just want to take advantage of the break to learn well.”

“Alright, I can’t stop you, but don’t lose. You are the Deputy General of the Fifth Cavalry Camp, losing to those soldiers would damage your reputation. Even if I want to help you, I can’t.” Zhao Xin grunted disdainfully.

Ye Hao remained calm and assured: “Don’t worry, I won’t bring this trouble to the General.”

After speaking, he turned and left.

Soon, the Cavalry Camp was bustling with combat.

Zhao Xin hurriedly took the list and headed to the camp tents of the other Cavalry Battalion Generals.

While Ye Hao was fighting in the military camp,

Ye Muyu’s life was very peaceful. Besides accompanying Chu Heng and alleviating his muscle atrophy, he was reviewing the accounts daily and planning more businesses.

Meanwhile, in just a month, Wang Qing had established five workshops and a school that accompanied each workshop.

Since the school doesn’t only allow the children of workshop workers to attend classes but also permits any other child to listen in,

Thus, wherever there is a Yonghe School, it has a considerable reputation, becoming widely known as a Charity Hall.

However, this Charity Hall doesn’t provide food but offers free education, coupled with strict rules and equality, it has a very good reputation among the people.

The several workshops opened by Wang Qing were all related to housing.

Nowadays wool products are popular, so naturally, it’s necessary to take advantage of this trend and open up cloth workshops.

As for the others, workshops concerning clothing, food, housing, and transportation are not delayed.

As for the personnel arranged by Emperor Xuanming, the workshops belonging to the imperial court, managed personally by the Department of Commerce and Construction, were built in the Northern Region, producing various canned mutton.

In the Northern Region, mutton is indeed cheap, whereas the further south you go, mutton becomes quite expensive.

Just say, in the Northern Region, a sheep costs only a bit more than a tael of silver, whereas in southern restaurants, a mutton dish surprisingly costs 700 copper coins.

It’s worth knowing that the mutton in a dish is at most half a pound.

The profit involved cannot be underestimated.

However, this is due to transportation difficulties; the costs on the road are too high.

And once the imperial court’s mutton workshop opened, they sealed some mutton with clay pots, sending it to the south.

Even though it’s not considered fresh, its price is still lower than fresh mutton, and it can still sell at an attractive price.

These days,

Emperor Xuanming’s mood visibly improved.

However, at this time, the court began debating again whether the workers in the imperial court workshops should also undergo exams and recommendations to recruit more personnel.

Elder Zhong looked at Grand Tutor Deng who proposed this suggestion.

“Is it true that Grand Tutor himself has also opened a workshop?”

Grand Tutor Deng knew Elder Zhong was hard to deal with, especially since Chu Heng’s incident, Emperor Xuanming seemed to value Elder Zhong and his group more, coupled with Beauty Qi’s favor in the Imperial Harem, Consort Jie Deng had been sitting on a cold bench for a long time and urgently needed silver for rewards in the palace to develop connections.

Grand Tutor Deng was indeed anxious.

The Deng Family does not possess the foundation of the Qi family, resulting in rumors in the palace that Beauty Qi is generous while Consort Jie Deng is stingy.

Those palace attendants tend to follow the trends; without favor, lacking silver to win hearts, Consort Jie Deng’s days in the palace became difficult.
