"From now on, all matters in the east courtyard will be arranged by yourselves. I will arrange for two maids to come over later. Once applied, everything will be arranged properly." Since the title has been decided, some arrangements must be made.

"My husband has big things to do, so there is no need to be distracted by it. I like to be quiet and have Xiao Huan to take care of me." Qing'er doesn't care, as long as he can live a peaceful life, there will be fewer people and less worries.

"How can that be done? Xiaohuan alone can't take care of such a big yard. Besides, it's too deserted. The world is unfair. If you want to settle down and make a living, you have to go out and work hard. In the future, I won't stay in the house all day long. There will be more people

I can feel more at ease." Others don't know it, but Sun Yu knows very well that although Jiangning is still prosperous, it won't have a good time for a long time. If we don't accumulate strength, once the war breaks out, everything will be over.

"I obey." Since the husband was considerate, Qing'er no longer refused and immediately nodded in agreement.

"You need to rest first, I'll go out first." Now that everything was arranged, Sun Yu didn't stay any longer and stood up immediately to leave.

"Ah, uncle, why are you leaving right now?" Xiaohuan was suddenly shocked. Although it was not appropriate to do so in broad daylight, it didn't matter. After all, it was a wedding day.

"Miss Qing'er is taking good care of herself." Sun Yu rolled his eyes at the girl angrily and left the house. Qing'er quickly got up to see her off.

"Ah, Master, you came out, how come you are so fast?" Uncle Quan had been waiting at the gate of the east courtyard. When he saw Sun Yu coming out, he stepped forward to greet him.

"Uncle Quan, what are you thinking about? Miss Qing'er is not in good health and needs more rest." If it weren't for Uncle Quan, Sun Yu would have been beaten violently. What does "so fast" mean? I am a person who practices martial arts all year round.

My health is very good.

"The old man made a mistake, the old man made a mistake..."

Sun Yu didn't care anymore and immediately told his arrangements. Uncle Quan naturally followed them. After all, Qing'er was the only mistress of the Duke's mansion now, so he wanted her to bring a child to the Duke's mansion as soon as possible.

After finishing the cooking, Sun Yu has to start implementing his plan. Time waits for no one. To survive in these troubled times, everything else is vain. You must have your own strength.

"Uncle Quan, please go down and select a group of fourteen or fifteen-year-old boys from each village. They should be literate and physically strong. Well, let's limit it to eighteen people. They will serve as my personal followers. They will be in charge of food and accommodation, and they will have a monthly salary of one or two and a half.

.” If you want to develop your own strength, you don’t have a group of trustworthy and capable people.

But that didn't work, Sun Yu decided to train a group of people himself. Such people were more reliable.

"Young master, these are half-grown children. This is a bit too much." If half-grown children in these days want to learn a trade, they have to give gifts and then work for three years in vain before they can graduate. The government gives such

If you get a high salary, you won't be able to make a fortune.

"That's it. Remember, select the best group and call in trustworthy people. If you find anyone cheating, drive them out of the house." What Sun Yu wants is this effect. Only by selecting the best people to train can they be valuable.

Maximize. As for why there are eighteen people, with Sun Yu's status, it makes sense to have more than ten followers. No matter how many people there are, it will inevitably draw attention.

After saying that, Sun Yu walked towards the front yard. He still had to find Zhang Daqiu. Sun Yu wanted to comprehensively improve the security force of the Duke's Mansion.

I found Zhang Daqiu and explained my plan. From now on, all the guards of the Duke's Mansion will implement a rotation training system. They will be divided into three batches, all registered and a strict hierarchy system will be implemented. A team of ten people will have a guard captain.

There are four team captains for each team, with a total of nine teams set up. Every month in the middle and late thirties, they take turns to go to Donglinzhuang for intensive training. Zhang Daqiu is in charge. Sun Yu will also train himself if he is free. The salary will increase

20%, meat is included in every meal during training.

Uncle Quan clicked his tongue as he listened. There were hundreds of people, and the monthly expenses were no less than a thousand taels.

Sun Yu glanced at Uncle Quan's expression and knew that he was settling accounts, but Sun Yu didn't pay attention at all. Too much money would only attract prying eyes, and there would be no stability in converting it into strength. If these people are really trained well

, even if there is a big chaos, you can still protect yourself and escape.

Zhang Daqiu was naturally full of joy. In just one day, he went from being a guard at the gate to being an instructor in charge of training hundreds of people. He was very excited just thinking about it.

"What about, Young Master, my salary...?" Zhang Daqiu rubbed his hands in embarrassment. He had to support his family, so why didn't he mention my treatment?

"On January 12, if you do a good job, you will get an extra reward." Sun Yu said angrily.

"Thank you so much, sir." Zhang Daqiu was overjoyed. Since he came to this mansion to look after the door, his salary has only been two taels of silver. The wives at home rarely complain. Now it's better, five times as much. Let's see what the woman has to say.

"Uncle Quan, I remember there is a forging workshop in my house, how is it now?" Just having people is not enough, you also need good equipment. If you outsource it, it will inevitably attract attention, so it is best to build it yourself.

"Son,

That workshop is still there, and all the farm tools on our farm depend on that workshop." Uncle Quan knew all these things.

"How many craftsmen are there?"

"There are three blacksmiths, two carpenters, and a few apprentices. It will be enough to supply Zhuangzi." Upon hearing this, Uncle Quan knew that Sun Yu was going to spend money again, so he hurriedly patted his chest to assure himself.

Sun Yu didn't care about this and just issued an order to more than triple the size of the workshop in one month. From now on, in this Zhuangzi, farm tools must be innovated and some weapons and equipment must be forged. It will not work without a small number of people.

"Sir, it's not easy to find such a good craftsman." These days, people take their skills very seriously and don't spread the word about them. He is a guy who has been doing this for generations.

"Then give money, give enough money. In addition, for every qualified apprentice, the monthly salary will be increased by 10%. I don't believe they won't be interested." In Sun Yu's view, as long as the treatment is good, there will be many people rushing to work.

I have never seen a large enterprise in later generations work overtime day and night, but there are still people rushing to work. All complaints, in the final analysis, are that wages are not paid.

"Young Master, even though the Duke's Mansion has some wealth, it can't stand such tricks." Uncle Quan finally couldn't bear it anymore. Although the Master had the final say in the Duke's Mansion, he should give a warning.

"Uncle Quan, this world is not a good one. I have been in turmoil all the way south. The money left there is just gathering dust. Only by turning into one's own strength can we protect ourselves in this troubled world. My father is in a high official position.

The family has a lot of property, so what?" Sun Yu said patiently, his father must have been a big official back then, so what's the use?

"Hey, what the young master taught me is that I will make arrangements right away." Uncle Quan felt sad when he thought of the old master's fate. The young master wanted to accumulate strength, which is what he should do.

After Zhang Daqiu and Uncle Quan went to work respectively, Sun Yu was wandering around and thinking about the future.

I am eighteen this year. According to the convention, you have to be twenty years old to get an official position. Although the late Duke of Lu was famous, he did not have many friends because of his stuttering, and he was already old.

For a long time, I didn’t know what path to take. I had to get an official status as soon as possible. It was a pity to waste two years. If I don’t have an official status in these days, how can I manage the territory, unless I become a bandit.
