"Your Excellency, are you planning to build new houses for everyone?"
In the study, Old Li stared at the blueprint Yang Zhengshan had drawn, his eyes nearly popping out of his head.
"That's right. We're rebuilding everything!"
Yang Zhengshan nodded casually, then looked at Yang Chengche and the others. "Build them by Squad Leader unit. Tell your men that the first to finish will receive three pecks of grain per household, the second will receive two pecks per household, and the third will receive one peck. The last place will be fined a month's military pay!"
Competition created motivation, and rewards made people more enthusiastic.
He might as well use the house construction to stir everyone's enthusiasm and save them from moping around all day, weighed down by Death Qi.
"As for you, the first place gets three taels of silver, the second gets two, and the third gets one. As for the last place..."
Yang Zhengshan grinned at Yang Chengche, Yang Chengxu, and the others. "The last place will wash my clothes for a month!"
Before Yang Chengche and the others could react, Yang Minghao behind them cried out in delight.
"That's great! That's great! Washing clothes for a month—hahaha!"
Yang Minghao held no position here and was not a soldier of Linguan Fortress. He was merely Yang Zhengshan's son, responsible for taking care of Yang Zhengshan.
On ordinary days, Yang Minghao handled all the washing and scrubbing for Yang Zhengshan.
Now that he had heard someone would be washing Yang Zhengshan's clothes for a month, he naturally cheered wildly.
"Let's compete, then! Who's afraid? First place is definitely mine!"
"It's too early to say that. Just wait and see."
"Hmph, you lot will definitely be the ones washing clothes!"
"I'm telling you, my father's socks stink terribly! Hahaha!"
