Chapter 84 - 82 Ideas for Making Money
After returning from Jianning Guard City, Yang Zhenshan called Yang Mingwu, who had been staying at Sanshan Castle, back home.
"How is the situation at Sanshan Castle?"
In the study of the government office, Yang Zhenshan asked.
"Sir, the autumn harvest at Sanshan Castle is progressing smoothly, but this year’s yield is too low, and everyone is worried!" Yang Mingwu replied.
Yang Zhenshan nodded slightly, he also understood what everyone was worried about.
In his view, there are three key issues that he needs to address at the moment.
The first is to store a large amount of food to ensure the future rations of all military households within the four garrisons.
This issue is easy to solve. Zhou Lan gave him three thousand taels of silver, and Yang Family Village has grain available; he could purchase the grain from Yang Family Village, and if it’s not enough, also from the surrounding villages.
The second issue is to find a way for the military households to earn money, allowing them to have an income during the cold winter.
Linguan Castle could increase income through sewing, but Yinghe Castle, Sanshan Castle, and Xiangyuan Fortress could not.
