Chapter 1028 Don’t underestimate them
It was just that last year was a disaster year, and this year, when spring came, many people who could return to their hometowns had already returned. The dead had long since turned into a handful of ashes and disappeared between heaven and earth.
After spring, the roads became much calmer.
There were also thunderous measures enforced by the imperial court.
Those without travel permits were sent back to their hometowns.
However, when they returned, the emperor gave them enough money and food to go back.
All this money and grain were obtained from some merchants and wealthy families.
"The road is much safer now than before the New Year. They all have some skills. They should be able to reach Southern Xinjiang smoothly. With them, perhaps we can train some skilled craftsmen, and slowly build up the domestic market. We still have too few people. What we need to do now is to keep these craftsmen. If they don't leave the capital, they may never leave. Even if I am the ancestor now, I can't compete with the Third Prince. I can't compete with the Third Prince's in-laws either."
Gu Yao said seriously.
He knew his own worth, and the third prince's biological father was the emperor.
The title of county princess was given to him by the third prince's biological father.
The imperial edict hasn't been issued yet, but the position can be taken back just by talking about it.
Even if an imperial decree was issued, it would offend the third prince.
They will also try to find ways to remove their position as county lord.
It’s not that Gu Yao is belittling himself, it’s that he has seen too many dirty things and just wants to protect himself.
"Miss, this is a good idea to retreat in order to advance. With Xiao San, Xiao Si, Xiao Wu and the others, there won't be any problems for that group."
"Miss, please let Uncle Fan stay! Uncle Fan's cooking is the most delicious." Tiantian was worried that Miss would not be able to eat delicious food after Uncle Fan left.
"That won't do. When we open a new workshop in the future, we will still need Uncle Fan as the butler! He must go to southern Xinjiang with us." Gu Yao would not keep this butler just because of her own appetite.
"Then Tiantian will cook for the young lady from now on." Tiantian patted her chest and recommended herself.
"Please don't do that! Just hire another cook. I'm a county lady now, so I can't be too shabby. I can't treat myself badly when it comes to food." Gu Yao chuckled.
"Then I will go to the dental clinic this afternoon to see if I can find a suitable cook." Tiantian said seriously.
"You take a look at this."
Gu Yao said and looked at Xiao Zhen again: "Come with me to the study."
Xiao Zhen followed Gu Yao into the study.
"Miss, please tell me if you have anything to say!" Xiao Zhen said with a bow.
"On the way to Southern Xinjiang, tell them not to take the official road within 500 miles to avoid being discovered by interested parties. If the people from the Tan family find out something is wrong, they will definitely chase after them. I can't take care of them if they are not in the capital. Let them put their safety first and protect themselves." The first thing Gu Yao thought of was the safety of their team.
As long as these people can survive and reach southern Xinjiang and open a shop in Bo City, with the reputation of the boss Gu Yao, no one will trouble their workshop.
For Gu Yao, it doesn't matter which city the shop is opened in. Boston will just allow him to keep his workshop open for a longer period of time.
"Fortunately, the plague over there is over. They regarded you as their savior and saved the people of the entire city. They know that the workshop is opened by you, so no one will cause trouble." Xiao Zhen guided the hearts of ordinary people.
Even if they are ordinary people or thugs who are no longer human.
When they met a doctor like Gu Yao who could decide life or death and was their lifesaver, they would lend a hand.
Even if I don't help, I won't do anything to hurt my benefactor.
The people of the Tan family are in the capital. They are merchants who attach too much importance to profit.
They also gave the young lady a lot of valuable gifts.
It can be considered as a way to repay the young lady for her kindness.
"It's safer over there. Most of the people there are ordinary people, and the highest-ranking one is the county magistrate. It may be safer in a smaller place. It's close to the border, so it's easy to go out of the border. The time is also relatively short, and there are several small countries over there. It's also more convenient for our workshop to go out and resell our goods. Let Xiao San and the others try to find some reliable people on the road or at the border to form our transportation team. We'll still follow the previous practice and give them bonuses based on the amount of sales in addition to wages."
Gu Yao asked them to transport the goods from the border so that they would have a place to stay no matter where they went in the future.
He can make money in the capital, but he has too many things to worry about.
In the future, the capital can only be used as a sales channel. The production area cannot stay here. It is easy to be restricted by others.
"Miss, you are very thoughtful. Where are you going these two days? Wait for the emperor's edict. From now on, you will be a county princess, and your status will be different wherever you go. You can wear clothes of higher standards." Xiao Zhan saw it and explained the rules to the young lady.
"I thought so too. However, if I want to buy better materials, I have to wait until the imperial edict comes down. Otherwise, I can't wear those fabrics out casually." Gu Yao felt very happy now.
The arrangements at the workshop were coordinated by Xiao Zhen and Xiao Yi.
Gu Yao was completely confident in Xiao Zhen. Every time she entrusted him with something, he would do it properly.
He was never disappointed once.
The next morning, a huge crowd burst into the alley where they lived, causing everyone in the alley to run out to watch the excitement.
Their alley is where small families living in East City live.
If you look down on them because they don't live in tall houses, you are wrong.
Most of the ordinary residents here are also admired by many people.
If Gu Yao hadn't found a house that had just been released at a bargain price, he wouldn't have been able to buy the small courtyard in Dongcheng.
Before Gu Yao woke up, she was woken up by someone who came to report the news in advance.
"Oh, it's already so late. Why haven't you gotten up yet? Quickly ask your young lady to pack up, burn incense and take a bath to welcome the imperial edict." The eunuch said to Tiantian in a shrill voice.
As soon as Tiantian heard the imperial edict mentioned by the eunuch, she knew it must be the imperial edict that their young lady would be conferred the title of county princess.
"Thank you, eunuch. Thank you for your reminder. This is a little gift, please take it and drink your tea." Tiantian took out a purse from her sleeve and stuffed it into the eunuch's hand.
The young eunuch pinched the purse, and the light stuff inside should be silver bills.
He then smiled and said, "Oh, you are such a sensible little girl. Go quickly."
In addition to Tiantian, there were two servants running errands at home, who quickly served tea to the father-in-law.
Just waiting on the side.
