Lin Xiaoyue’s eyes flashed with emotion.

Head Fan was indeed a smart person.

“I’m going to plant chilis and sweet potatoes next. It’s not suitable for me to follow the rent sharing system or the fixed rent system.” After all, she was not prepared to share the chilies and sweet potatoes that she had grown.

Zhou s.h.i.+ nodded.

“What do you think?” She asked Lin Xiaoyue.

Lin Xiaoyue pondered for a moment.

“If I don’t rent out the land and instead hire farmers directly, do you think this will work?”

Her plan was to imitate the operation of a 21st century village market.

Before she went to university, someone suddenly came to her grandmother’s hometown. He contracted a large piece of land and set up a vegetable market.

The surrounding farmers would go there to work.

The manager would arrange for them to go to the designated place.

After recording the working days every day, the accounts would be settled at the end of each month.

Later, in order to earn more money, her grandma worked in the market all year round.

Although the pay was low, the villagers who were familiar with each other worked together. In addition, the work was not heavy, so they did not feel very tired.

Zhou s.h.i.+ thought about it and nodded.

“They can also exchange money for food. As long as the wages are suitable, it should work.”

Lin Xiaoyue’s eyes flashed with joy, and then she told her plan to the Zhou Shou.

“We will purchase farming tools. When the workers come to work, they will get the farming tools according to their work.”

“We’ll do plowing, weeding, transplanting, and harvesting at the same time. If there are many people, it’s not a problem to take care of the entire land in the manor.”

After the chilies were dried, they would sell them at 15 wen per catty.

As long as the output of chilies and sweet potatoes were greater than the wages paid to the workers, she would be able to make a profit.

“You mean you want to teach them how to farm?” Zhou s.h.i.+ was a little surprised.

Her sister was definitely the first to suggest this idea.

However, she was growing something special. Others did not have her experience in farming, so it seemed necessary for her to guide them.

“It’s not much of a guide. 1 just want the workers to do things according to my requirements.”

“I think it works. However, there would definitely be some trouble during the execution.”

“Tomorrow, we’ll go to the manor. Why don’t you have a chat with Head Fan first? He had been in charge of the Zhou Manor for more than ten years and knew a lot of things.”

Lin Xiaoyue nodded. “Yes.”

“However, we don’t have to talk to just one person. 1 haven’t seen the three heads before. I’ll meet them tomorrow and have a chat.”

Now that Zhou Manor and Mao’er Manor were merging, she didn’t want to give others the impression that she was biased.

Zhou s.h.i.+ smiled.

“Alright.”

Lin Xiaoyue spoke to Zhou s.h.i.+ for a while before leaving.

After informing Zhao Fu of her plans, Zhao Fu immediately sent Zhao Kang to deliver the message.

The next day.

Li Xiao didn’t go to town. He rode his horse and led the two carriages to Zhou Manor.

As soon as they arrived, they saw three people leading a group of people and two other groups waiting by the roadside.

The three people were dressed appropriately. They were the heads of Zhou Manor, Mao’er Manor, and Meng Manor.

Standing behind the three of them were a dozen servants from the Zhou Manor.

As for the other two groups, the people in blue and black were the guards arranged by Liang Yu and Third Master Zhou.

“Are you from the Lin family?” Before Li Xiao and the others could get close, the man leading the team in front had already spoken.

“That’s right!” Li Xiao replied.

Only then did the people at the front relax.

At the same time, Head Fan and the others were also excited.

After a while, the carriage finally stopped in front of Head Fan and the others.

He exchanged a glance with the other two heads. In the end, he led them forward and bowed at Lin Xiaoyue and the others.

“I am Fan Ming.”

“I am Zhong Gui.”

“I am Cao De.”

“Greetings, Miss!”

Only then did someone in the carriage reach out and pull open the curtain.

“Please ask Head Fan to come forward and speak.” Zhao Shanshan’s clear voice rang out.

Zhong Gui and Cao De lowered their heads and looked at each other, thinking that the new mistress treated Fan Ming differently.

The first thing she did was to go to the Zhou Manor, and now she even asked to speak to Fan Ming.

Fan Ming’s face lit up, and he hurried forward.

“Miss.” He bowed in the direction of the carriage..
