The moon falling to the ground

Chapter 131 The 5th Prince Arrives

Since the village started building workshops, several weddings have been held there.

All of this was brought about by Doctor Mao and Doctor Jian. Village Chief Ge was so grateful to them that he could not express it in words. He only swore in his heart that he would help his benefactors to keep the workshop safe and prevent those sneaky villains and lazy people from taking advantage of it.

Jian Yue also transferred Fu Shiyi and Fu Shier over to form a guard team to be responsible for the safety of the workshop.

The two captains selected a dozen strong villagers in the village, trained them in time, and divided them into two teams to take turns guarding the workshop.

Both of the village chief Ge's sons joined the guards. Both of his daughters-in-law and his eldest grandson joined the workshop. The family's combined daily wages were two to three hundred coins, or nearly nine taels of silver a month.

Nine taels!

For the Ge family who have lived in poverty all their lives, this is a huge sum of money, a huge sum of money that they can earn every month. Village chief Ge would wake up laughing in his dreams.

The workshop was back on track, and Jian Yue handed over the management rights to Yuan Yi (Village Chief Ge was the deputy manager), and then went back with Doctor Mao.

Back at Yue's house, Yun Zhonghe looked at the two with resentment. The two had been gone for more than 20 days, leaving Yun Zhonghe to guard Yue's house. He also wanted to go to the workshop to take a look. But there were a lot of good wines stored in Yue's house, so he couldn't leave.

Jian Yue chuckled: "Let the gentleman go with us next time."

In order to distinguish herself from Doctor Mao, Jian Yue called Doctor Mao "Master" and Yun Zhonghe "Sir".

Jian Yue took out a package and said, "Let me show you something good, sir." She opened the package, revealing some brown lumps inside, which gave off a sweet scent.

Yun Zhonghe's eyes lit up: "It's brown sugar!" He picked up a piece, took a bite, and squinted his eyes, "Sweet, sweet and fragrant, much better than maltose."

"Muxiang, bring a bowl of boiling water."

Muxiang not only brought hot water, but also a spoon.

Yun Zhonghe put the brown sugar cubes into the hot water bowl and stirred it with a spoon. Then he took a sip and nodded as he drank: "Sweet, delicious, and warms my stomach after drinking it."

Jian Yue gave the brown sugar in her hand to Mu Xiang: "Go get another bag and share it with the others."

"Thank you, girl!" Muxiang happily took the brown sugar and went out.

Yun Zhonghe hadn't finished his bowl of sugar water yet when the shopkeeper came over, smelling the food: "What smells so sweet?" He locked his eyes precisely on the bowl on the table.

Yun Zhonghe immediately picked it up and drank it all in one breath.

Department Manager: ...

Who cares if it's stained with saliva?

"Ms. Jian, I heard that you built a brown sugar workshop, why hasn't it been opened for business? I have prepared the gifts." He looked at Jian Yue eagerly.

Jian Yue knew what he meant, so she didn't keep him waiting. She took out another bag of brown sugar, made him a bowl of brown sugar water, and said, "Boss, drink it first. I'll ask the kitchen to make some brown sugar buns for you."

"Okay, okay, thanks to Miss Jian, I'm in for a treat." The shopkeeper smiled so hard that his teeth were showing.

At noon, the shopkeeper not only ate brown sugar steamed buns, but also brown sugar sesame cakes and brown sugar glutinous rice cakes.

When he left, he not only took away 50 kilograms of brown sugar, but also shamelessly took some brown sugar steamed buns, brown sugar sesame cakes and brown sugar glutinous rice cakes.

Jian Yue was very tired after working so hard for more than 20 days. Yun Zhonghe didn't let her study, so she slept for the whole afternoon.

When I woke up at dusk, Ji Yunzhong was already drinking tea in the living room.

Jian Yue quickly asked the kitchen to prepare a banquet. This guy came at this time just to get a job.

"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince." Jian Yue bowed to him.

Ji Yunzhong waved his hand and smiled like a wolf grandmother: "Miss Jian, you don't have to be polite. We are partners and it is inevitable that we will meet often. It would seem strange if we are so polite every time. Why don't you call me Brother Ji!"

The words "Big Brother Ya" immediately popped up in Jian Yue's mind. She almost laughed out loud, but she tried to hold back her smile and said, "It's better to obey than to be respectful, Big Brother Ji."

Ji Yunzhong smiled and nodded, but he felt that her bright eyes had a deeper meaning.

Ji Yunzhong got straight to the point: "Mr. Mao has already told me that you intend to present the sugar-making recipe to the court. I wonder what your request is?"

Jian Yue had thought about this question a long time ago, and immediately replied: "After I submit the recipe, the emperor will allow my sugar-making workshop to continue to operate."

"Is that all you want? Anything else?"

"Nothing."

Ji Yunzhong reminded her: "You can ask for some other rewards."

Jian Yue shook her head: "No. The emperor allowed me to make sugar, so I can make money. It's good enough to have enough money to spend. Why make so much money? You can't take it with you when you die."

The three people present were stunned.

You can't take anything with you when you die. What a wonderful saying! But how many people in the world have such awareness?

Human nature is greedy. People always feel that they don't have enough money, their lives are not good enough, and they have too little. Therefore, many people become slaves to money and spend their whole lives running for money. There are even many people who die of exhaustion on the road to making money.

Ji Yunzhong looked at Yun Zhonghe, meaning, you taught her to think like this?

Yun Zhonghe smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Yue girl has always been very thoughtful and has a broad mind like no other man."

Ji Yunzhong nodded in agreement: "Miss Jian said it very well. If everyone is as open-minded as Miss Jian, there will be fewer tragedies in the world. Don't worry, I will definitely convey your meaning."

Ji Yunzhong really stayed for dinner and asked Jian Yue to come to the table, saying that he had many questions to ask.

Jian Yuehun is a modern person who doesn't pay much attention to the distinction between men and women, so she brought a glass of juice to the table.

Based on her memories from her previous life, she developed a juicer. Although it was manual, it was very advanced for this era.

Ji Yun was interested in the juice she was drinking again and ordered a glass as well. Then, he looked at the juicer and repeatedly praised Jian Yue for her brain. Every innovation she made was either beneficial to the country or to life. In a word, it was beneficial to the country and the people.

Jian Yue was very calm when she was praised, and she did not get carried away by the prince's praise and affirmation. It was as if she had experienced such scenes many times.

Ji Yunzhong was impressed by her calmness. It was really admirable that a little girl who had not even reached the age of marriage could have such a temperament.

Ji Yunzhong felt inexplicably happy and chatted with Jian Yue intentionally. He found that she was not only knowledgeable but also well-informed. He felt very comfortable talking to her.

Ji Yunzhong didn't realize how late it was until midnight. He used the excuse that he drank too much and felt dizzy, so he stayed at Yue's house.

Jian Yue asked the maid to clean two guest rooms. One for Ji Yunzhong and one for his two followers. She also asked the kitchen to prepare some hangover soup for them.

This was the first time Jian Yue met Ji Yunzhong’s personal attendant.

One is called Fu Hu, with a strong build. The other is called Fu Lang, with a pale face...
