After hearing Duan Wenjun's question, everyone in the square began to discuss again.

In fact, they still know a little about Duan Jiabao and Duan Wenjun.

Since the era of Gust of Wind, the people of Moon Island have had conflicts with Duan Jiabao.

Since that time, when they were repelled when they planned to attack Duanjiabao, Guofeng seemed to no longer have Duanjiabao's idea.

However, many old people knew that part of the reason was that Fei Feng felt that it was not easy to capture Duanjia Fort, and he was unwilling to risk the lives of his brothers.

Another part of the reason is that Fei Feng feels that Duan Jiabao's mistress, Duan Wenjun's mother, is an interesting and remarkable person.

No one knows why Xiufeng said this.

Everyone knew that Xiufeng was not a womanizer, so there could not be any ambiguity between him and Mistress Duanjiabao.

Then there is only one possibility, that is, this mistress must be an amazing person.

Therefore, over the years, many people have been curious about what the mistress of Duanjiabao would be like.

After so many years, Moon Island and Duanjiabao have always been in harmony with each other and lived in peace and harmony.

However, no one knows why Gui Feng suddenly led someone to tie up Duan Wenjun.

Moreover, he not only accepted Duan Daxiong's ransom money, but also seriously injured the meat ticket.

This is incompatible with Lifeng's past style of doing things.

Everyone felt that Moon Island had completely broken up with Duan Jiabao.

Not long after, the officers and soldiers changed their previous attitude and besieged Moon Island for a long time. People began to speculate that this might be related to Guofeng's kidnapping of Duan Wenjun.

However, no one expected that Duan Wenjun would come back to life after being seriously injured by a gust of wind, and he seemed to be a different person.

The eldest son of the Duan family, who was originally unlearned and unskilled, became a role model for Wangjiang's talents, full of poems and well-spoken.

The eldest son of the Duan family, who was originally idle, became the focus of Wangjiang merchants, constantly tinkering with new things and refreshing people's cognition.

Even this time, when Moon Island was about to face disaster, the young master actually repaid evil with kindness and persuaded the court to recruit them.

The situation that was originally a deadlock suddenly turned around.

However, according to Dashun law, even if they accepted the offer of surrender, they would still invade the border area.

The long journey from Lingxiao County to the frontier may be another narrow escape.

Duan Wenjun jumped out and said he would take them into Duanjia Fort...

Originally, some people were still wondering whether Duan Wenjun wanted to take them into Duanjia Fort because he wanted to find an opportunity to ravage and torture them in order to avenge the kidnapping that day.

But no one expected that Duan Wenjun would actually put out tens of thousands of taels of silver as a guarantee for them, and even get himself into a situation where they would be implicated.

If he wanted to ravage and retaliate, he didn't have to do this.

So, there is only one possibility like this.

They all felt that Duan Wenjun's heart and generosity were unmatched by anyone.

Impress everyone.

In particular, under the special arrangement of Zhao Dachui, Duan Wenjun planted trees on the southern slope, planned mulberry fish ponds, built roads, invented cement, and a series of other deeds, which were widely spread on Moon Island.

There are also those workers in Duanjiabao who can get tens of taels of silver every day if they work diligently. If they have skills, they can even get a few taels of silver a month. The news has spread long ago. .

All this has begun to make everyone's hearts full of hope for the new life after entering Duanjiabao.

"Master Duan, with so many of us coming here, can Duanjiabao afford to support us?" Finally, someone couldn't help but speak.

"Since you have entered Duanjiabao, you are my Duanjiabao people." Duan Wenjun looked at the old man who was talking and smiled, "But I don't think Duanjiabao is raising you, but you are supporting yourselves. Enough."

"Feed yourself?" The old man who spoke became even more confused.

Duan Wenjun smiled and said, "You must also know that our Duanjiabao is engaged in construction, so we need many, many people to work. As long as you are willing to work hard, as long as you are willing to work, you can make money. I want to ask the old man, If you can make money and have a strong pocket, and you can buy whatever you want to eat and wear, do you still need Duanjiabao to support you?"

"This..." The old man's eyes, which had seemed a little excited just now, suddenly dimmed. "This little old man is almost sixty this year. I'm afraid he won't be able to do the work of road construction and mining..."

"Old man, I see you are still in good health!" Duan Wenjun smiled upon hearing this. "Those heavy jobs are more expensive, but they require young people to do them. After all, they are very physically demanding. But you can choose to do lighter jobs. , such as cutting grass, tending forests, raising pigs, herding sheep... there are many jobs you can do in Duanjiabao!"

"Ah? Can you get paid for these jobs?" The old man was stunned when he heard this and was doubtful.

"Of course. In my Duan Jiabao, as long as you do something, you will get paid! The more you know and the more you do, the more you will get." Duan Wenjun smiled again.

"Then what can we women do?" The old man just stepped back excitedly, and a middle-aged woman next to him said, "Can we get paid for our work?"

"Haha, this eldest sister is right!" Duan Wenjun laughed. "Why can't women do it? Women hold up half the sky, and there are so many things they can do."

"Master Duan, is this true or not?" The woman still looked unconvinced. "I don't want to lie to us. We are from the countryside and we can accept death."

"When a man speaks, he speaks with spit and nail." Duan Wenjun smiled and said, "In our tofu factories and farms, there are many female workers now, and the wages they get are not lower than men. After a while, other workers will As workshops open one after another, there will be more jobs that women can do. For example, perfume workshops and silkworm workshops, these are places where women are more suitable than men."

A bright smile appeared on the woman's face, she stopped talking, and more people began to ask questions.

Duan Wenjun took the trouble to explain to everyone as cordially as if it were a family affair.

Chai Jingyun, who was standing next to him, looked at Duan Wenjun's lively answers, and then looked at the increasingly rising emotions of the people below, and couldn't help but think more highly of Duan Wenjun.

He was originally worried that Duan Wenjun would not be able to control these bandits, and he also thought about lending Lou Loulou to Duan Wenjun for a period of time to help him maintain order.

Unexpectedly, in just a short time, Duan Wenjun was already fighting fiercely with this group of people.

If this continues, in a few days, this order will not need to be maintained at all, and these people will probably listen to him.

"Then we can also do things to make money?" At this moment, a timid voice rang.

Duan Wenjun looked around and saw that the speaker was me, a little boy of five or six years old.

The little boy was dressed in rags and his feet were bare.

On a hot day, he actually had snot hanging from his nose and was staring longingly at Duan Wenjun.

Duan Wenjun looked at him, and the smile on his face suddenly disappeared.

He slowly knelt down, looked at the little boy and shook his head, "How old are you, how could you let you work?"

Tears circled in the little boy's eyes, and the next moment his words rang out again, "At your age, you should study hard and study hard. Duanjiabao will set up a private school for all of you to study."

"Reading?" The little boy wiped his nose with his sleeve and his eyes lit up. "Is it true? Can I really read?"

However, just after he finished speaking, his eyes immediately dimmed again, "But we have no money and can't afford the tuition."

In this era, studying is only a matter for the children of the rich.

Even if children from poor families want to study, it is not easy.

Expensive tuition fees have become an insurmountable threshold for them.

If someone is lucky and can meet some good masters, it is not possible to secretly study outside the private school.

But for these children on Moon Island, not even the adults on the island have read books, so how can anyone teach them?

Even if they have money, these teachers in private schools think that their minds are as high as the sky, so how can they teach in a bandit's den?

Therefore, when the little boy heard that he could study, the glimmer of hope that had just emerged was suddenly dashed.

money!

To put it bluntly, money is the most basic issue.

"Don't worry, after the establishment of my private school in Duanjiabao, all the children will not have to pay tuition. I will pay for all the tuition fees for Mr. Xi." Duan Wenjun looked at the little boy and smiled again.

One stone stirs up a thousand waves.

Everyone present was stunned.

The people in the square had expressions of disbelief on their faces.

If they enter Duanjiabao, their children can still study, and will they study for free?

This is simply incredible, and even more surprising than their ability to find a satisfying job.

Chai Jingyun and Lou Loulou next to them also looked at each other.

Chai Jingyun understood in her heart that Duan Wenjun wanted to take in these people on Moon Island, firstly to thank the eldest princess for her kindness, and secondly to use it for the construction of Duanjia Fort, which they all understood.

However, Duan Wenjun actually promised to let these people's children study for free, which puzzled them.

Only Yuan Gungun stared at Duan Wenjun's side face and showed a faint smile.
