What did they think?
Was there a need to ask this question? Jiang Pengji's suggestion was undoubtedly a divine weapon to increase their favorability. If favorability could be quantified, she might be able to see that the favorability of her subordinates had soared to the highest level of "loyalty."
No matter what happened in the future, they would not easily change their minds.
Jiang Pengji thought about it and added, "If we open a restaurant, we need waiters, people who do chores in the backyard, and shopkeepers who manage the restaurant. A medium-sized restaurant needs to employ at least 20 to 30 people. Orphans, widows, or those who are disabled because of the war can find a suitable position to support their families if they don't have a job. After all, if we ask them to farm, it's really difficult for them. "
Everyone was touched by Jiang Pengji's words. Wei Ci showed a dazed expression and fell into his memories.
Fighting with the people for benefits was indeed criticized, but what if the money she earned was all used on the orphans of the war and the elderly who had no one to support them?
And the soldiers who were disabled because of injuries, how would they make a living after leaving the battlefield?
In Wei Ci's memory, other than the person in front of him, it seemed that no feudal lord would take these problems seriously.
Many feudal lords just handed matters over to their subordinates, just to fight for a good reputation of benevolence and love for the people. With a good reputation, their goal would be achieved.
As for how the future would develop, they did not have the energy to care at all. This led to a period of time when the situation slightly relaxed, the silver allocated for retirement would be exploited layer by layer. In the end, only a few coins would fall into the hands of orphans and widows.
But Her Majesty was different. She really did it.
It was just that she did the best, but her reputation was the worst.
Why was it like this?
Wei Ci looked at Jiang Pengji in a daze.
Because this person's temperament was too casual and arrogant, she only needed to capture anyone who coveted this batch of pension money, and let the greedy person gather ten times or even a hundred times the amount of money to return. Her attitude was unyielding, and whoever dared to disobey her, without exception, would end up with their heads rolling on the ground.
Unfortunately, these people had a glib tongue and were eloquent. They smeared her reputation behind her back.
What about Her Majesty?
"My time is precious, I don't care to argue with ants."
In this life, he would be the one to argue.
While Wei Ci was in a daze, Feng Jin had already bowed with his hands folded in front.
"My lord's action is a good deed. Jin will naturally support it with all my might. If the generals and soldiers unfortunately died in battle, their orphans and widows would have someone to rely on and provide for them. The disabled soldiers would also be able to make a living. If this is feasible, I believe the soldiers will be completely at ease and not have to worry about the future. "
This action was benevolent to Feng Jin and the others, but to Jiang Pengji, it was a matter of course.
The soldiers were willing to risk their lives for her, so she naturally had to be worthy of their loyalty.
Feng Jin and the rest were moved by Jiang Pengji's growth. The audience in the streaming room also started discussing it.
Laosiji Lianmeng: "I started following the livestream not long after it started. Looking back, the streamer has really grown a lot." It wasn't that the host wasn't good in the past, it was just that she was too tough and self-centered in the past. Now, she was becoming more and more like a benevolent ruler, more and more in line with what an excellent ruler should be like. For the people in troubled times, this was a blessing.
Qizheng Poqilai: "I hope that when I'm old, I can still continue following the livestream with my grandchildren and tell them how outstanding the streamer is. Although she's just Jiang Pengji, she led a group of subordinates to conquer the world and gave the people a peaceful and contented life … Hehehe, livestream, you must not let us down."
You Are These Beasts: "If I were a commoner, it would definitely be a very happy thing to be protected by the streamer like this."
Buting Buting: "I believe that the streamer can become a true emperor, unprecedented and unsurpassed!"
Wangba Nianjing: "I hope that in my lifetime, I can see my lord rule the world."
The livestream room was full of praises. Even Jiang Pengji, who was as thick-skinned as the corner of the city wall, felt somewhat embarrassed.
"If that's the case, then I'll get someone to organize the menu."
Jiang Pengji thought about it and said hesitantly, "The income from the restaurant business is all used to provide for orphans and widows. In the beginning, the scale is small and the income is not high, so others naturally don't care about it. But in the future, with these unique flavors and dishes, I think the business of the restaurant will not be too bad, and the income will naturally increase … I'm a little worried … "
If the income was a few coins, who would care about it?
But what if it was easily tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of strings of coins?
Jiang Pengji did not think that anyone would not be tempted.
Liyun was a little naive. From his point of view, no matter how good the business of the restaurant was, how high could the income be?
Not to mention that the restaurant had not even opened yet, but his lord was already worried that someone would embezzle money in the future …
He asked, "The income is used to provide for orphans and widows of the soldiers who died in the war, as well as compensation for the bereaved … Would there really be beasts who would embezzle money?"
Wei Ci smiled and said, "Even Han Mei said that those people are beasts, how can we use the thinking of ordinary people to measure them? I think that my lord's worries are not without reason. It's better to be prepared for a rainy day. Since this is for the good of the soldiers, so that they will no longer have to worry about the future when they go to the battlefield, then this matter cannot be treated casually. Punish those who are greedy, lest the soldiers' hearts turn cold … What does my lord think? "
"Of course, Zixiao's words make sense." Jiang Pengji raised her brows. "Currently, we only have one base in Xiangyang district. The scale of the restaurant is not large, and the income is not high. If we use this bit of money to provide for orphans and widows of the soldiers, everyone will think it is absurd. How about this, I will donate 20,000 strings of coins as the initial compensation. If it is not enough, I will add more in the future. "
Wei Ci's fingers trembled, he almost could not keep the expression on his face.
20,000 strings of coins?
Had his lord ever been so extravagant?
Didn't she always want to break a coin into four coins to use?
Looking around, it seemed that no one was surprised … This was 20,000 strings of coins, not 2 coins!
Others did not know, but Xu Ke was very clear about how rich his lord's private treasury was.
Not to mention 20,000 strings of coins, even if it was 200,000 strings of coins, she could still take it out … Sigh, who asked the people of the North borderline to be stupid, rich, and squandering. They were too rich, they were too extravagant, they were practically fighting to buy glass tea sets and jewelry, no one could stop them.
Not only that, the business of wool products in Chongzhou was also not bad, in a short period of time, they had accumulated tens of thousands of strings of coins.
The first batch of silver was mostly used for the construction of Xiangyang district, the purchase of rations, armor, and the manufacture of weapons.
The second batch of silver was the one that truly entered the lord's private treasury. After receiving it, his lord generously gave each of her subordinates a big red packet, even Feng Jin's family's Changsheng was given a one-month gift, it was unbelievably extravagant.
If there was a ranking list of the feudal lords' wealth in the future, his lord would probably occupy the top spot all year round.
Jiang Pengji looked around. "Then this matter …"
