Chapter 196 Employment Issues for Retired Disabled Soldiers
When the carriage arrived at Yanzhi Building, it was the peak time for afternoon tea.
Ever since Mu Qingqing gave Fu Renjie the floor plan of Tianxia Diyi Lou, Yanzhi Lou stopped operating and the items in the building were moved to other stores one after another.
At this time, Yanzhi Building and the two shops next door were all quiet.
There were only two servants sweeping the door. When they saw several carriages parked in front of Rouge House, they put down their brooms and walked forward to explain: "Ladies and gentlemen, Rouge House has closed. If you need to buy rouge, you can go to Baoque Pavilion on the next street to buy it."
Mu Qingqing lifted the car curtain and asked in a deep voice, "Is Manager Fu in the store right now?"
"Oh, you are here to see the shopkeeper. He happens to be in the store doing the accounts this afternoon. I will go up and ask the shopkeeper to come down."
"No need, we can just go upstairs and find him." Mu Qingqing lifted her skirt and got off the carriage gracefully.
Fu Renjie was thinking about how to settle the craftsmen who stayed and worked overtime to build the No. 1 Building in the World.
It was an impossible task to demolish Yanzhilou and three other shops before the New Year.
It will probably take another ten days to repair the Fanchen Courtyard. By that time, Miss Mu will be getting married. No matter how cunning I am, I have to make sure she has a good New Year.
If we want to tear it down and rebuild it after the New Year, and if we want to complete it within three months, the construction period should not be too tight, and if there are any problems, we can modify them halfway...
"Brother Fu, Qingqing is here to see you." Mu Qingqing greeted him loudly as she stepped onto the stairs.
Fu Renjie was startled and stood up. "Why do you have time to come to see me today?"
As the wedding date is approaching, she has been very busy these days and has no time to talk to me about business.
"Well, I need your help with something very important." After entering the room, Mu Qingqing found a seat to sit down and got straight to the point.
Ye Tianran sat next to Mu Qingqing naturally, while Yu Yingjun and Lu Xiaoxiao sat on the other side of Mu Qingqing respectively.
After Lei Yu and his four companions came in, they stood uncomfortably in the middle of the hall.
"Please feel free to do as you please. We will hold an emergency meeting later regarding retired disabled soldiers. You can also put forward your own opinions." Mu Qingqing stretched out her right hand and motioned for them to find a seat and sit anywhere.
The four of them looked at Ye Tianran anxiously, and seeing that he didn't react, they found a few nearby seats and sat down.
He placed his hands flat on his knees and sat upright.
The boy sweeping the floor stood at the door, craning his neck waiting for Fu Renjie's instructions.
Mu Qingqing waved her hand and said, "You two go downstairs and guard the gate. Don't let anyone come up to disturb us."
The servant glanced at Fu Renjie and when he nodded, he closed the door of the wing room for them and ran down to guard the door.
Mu Qingqing sat up straight, looked around and said in a serious tone: "Today, I learned from Miss Lei and others that many disabled soldiers who retired from the battlefield had a miserable old age and most of them had nowhere to live. Their families kindly took in some of the disabled soldiers and gave them a place to live. Unfortunately, their families only rely on such a small amount of salary to support themselves and the disabled. Third Prince, if you were the one in power, how do you think these retired soldiers should be dealt with?"
Ye Tianran stood up straight, his handsome face serious at this time, "Master, I think they fought hard on the battlefield to defend their country. After they retire from the army with injuries, the country should give them some compensation, at least so that they can live without worries in the future. We must not let this disappoint the soldiers."
Lei Yu and his companions did not know the first half of what happened in Qin Ya Garden, nor did they know that Ye Tianran had become Mu Qingqing's disciple.
They were a little confused now: When did the Third Prince become so obedient and not rebellious? Didn't he look down on Princess Pingyang the most before? He also publicly stated that he would never associate with the three evil tumors in the capital, so what was going on now?
Fu Renjie stood up and asked directly: "Qingqing, what can I do for you? Just tell me."
Yu Yingjun was even more direct, "Qingqing, just tell me how much silver you need, and I'll ask my mother to get it."
What do you guys mean? Master has said that it is time for me to shine, and you guys are trying to snatch it from me?!
Ye Tianran's handsome face said anxiously, "Master, you have already said that it is time for me to shine. Tell me your plan now, and I will obey unconditionally."
After saying that, he looked at Fu Renjie and Yu Yingjun with a stern look: You two, don't snatch this job from me!
Mu Qingqing raised her red lips slightly, revealing a frivolous and arrogant smile: "All of you sit down, I have a plan that requires your cooperation. Please listen to me carefully and see if it is feasible."
Several people sat down and waited quietly for Mu Qingqing to speak.
"Regarding the follow-up employment and pension issues of retired disabled soldiers, I have a suggestion. Brother Fu, how much idle mountain forest and farmland do you have under your name? I plan to plant seasonal fresh vegetables, fruits and melons, and can use those retired disabled soldiers who still have some labor. Third Prince, as for those who have difficulty in moving, you can use your name to provide a few venues and let them do some manual work within their capabilities. Later, you can come forward to place a few advertisements and sell these handicrafts. If we encounter retired soldiers who are completely unable to take care of themselves, we will build a happy nursing home for them, so that retired veterans can live together and enjoy their old age." Mu Qingqing was sitting on a mahogany carved chair, her voice was clear and crisp, and it sounded like gold and jade.
Lei Yu and the other three looked at Mu Yinli with admiration, and all eight of their eyes were sparkling with stars.
Fu Renjie responded first: "Qingqing, I have vacant forests and farmland in all four countries. When the time comes, please give me the personnel allocation and planting plan so that I can make arrangements."
"Well, I will discuss this matter with the Sixth Prince and connect with him to deal with the retired personnel who have nowhere to go after retiring from the battlefield. Miss Lei, you guys should first compile a data set for me on the members who are left in the mansion and the people you know have nowhere to go after retirement. Then, we will settle these people first!"
"Qingqing, what can I do?" Yu Yingjun, who was stupid but rich, was anxious. Qingqing said she would take me flying, so why didn't I hear my name from her mouth?
"Xiaoyu, don't worry!" Mu Qingqing comforted her, "You have a heavy responsibility. The initial operation will definitely require a large amount of capital investment. You can invest your pocket money appropriately. When the scale is formed, you must mass produce and sell to form an industrial chain. By then, you have to patrol various places at regular times and locations. I will let Xiaoxiao be your bodyguard, so you don't have to worry about being robbed along the way."
Lu Xiaoxiao, who had just stood up and wanted to ask if there was anything she could do, sat down quietly again after hearing her arrangement to be Prince Yu's bodyguard.
Fortunately, Qingqing did not forget about her. Lu Xiaoxiao was secretly happy in her heart.
When the entire industrial chain is involved, it will not only be enough to feed those retired soldiers, but also drive national development with the overall economy, allowing Donglin Country to make a qualitative leap.
Of course, these are still very far away.
For now, I'll arrange the affairs of the disabled veterans, and then inform Emperor Tai'an in advance to prevent him from misunderstanding that I have the intention of stealing the country.
