Chapter 130 Hu Township Progress
"The materials for building roads, canals, and foundations must be used well. If they are solid, I will think of a way. This time I will keep 5 taels. If Fan Li runs out, I will make a copy of the account book Send someone to send it to me in the capital, and I will send another bank note at that time. There is only one thing, the progress must not slow down!"

"Yes, miss." Yi Guanshi agreed with Fan Li.

"As long as there is no shortage of money, the progress will not slow down. Don't worry, miss! The villain has a book in his heart, and he will be able to look decent before he keeps it!"

"You are a seasoned person, so I can rest assured!"

Yao Cunhui smiled, asked a lot of things, discussed with each other, Yi Guanshi went down first, Yao Cunhui left Fan Li and his sister to talk again, and explained in detail.

The Fan Li brothers and sisters obviously agree with this place very much, and they revealed that they have regarded this place as their own home. Yao Cunhui was very happy in his heart, so he revealed the meaning to Fan Li half-heartedly: as long as he works well with Yi Guan Come on, after this farm is on the right track in the future, he will be the chief steward here!But the premise is that he must have the ability to be able to afford it. Not everyone can be a good manager!
Fan Li was shocked when he heard this, his eyes lit up, and he said that he would not disappoint Second Miss!
"Read more books when you have time. In addition to recognizing characters, you should also read more books on agronomy and agricultural technology. When it will be useful! Also, buy an abacus and come back and practice hard. The ability to calculate accounts is not to be underestimated. That's it! If anyone refuses to accept you, and quickly calculates with a quick hand, and settles the accounts smoothly and accurately, who will dare to underestimate you?"

"Yes, Second Miss Xie teaches!"

"Shuangshuang, what about you?" Yao Cunhui smiled and asked Fan Shuangshuang again: "Are you still used to it?"

Fan Shuangshuang nodded, and said with a smile: "It's not bad that the servants alone lead the wives and wives to buy vegetables and cook!" Then he said something in detail to Yao Cunhui.

Yao Cunhui paused, and said with a smile: "The work on this stove is not easy. If there is a problem with the food, the workers will be in trouble if they eat up their stomachs! There is also the weight, which needs to be added, so we can't ask people to eat it." Working on an empty stomach. Were all the people on the stove selected from among the workers?"

Fan Shuangshuang hurriedly said: "Some are selected from the workers, and some are called by Manager Yi from Jinling. The steward's servant counts as one, and there are two from Jinling."

"Then you should be more careful!" Yao Cunhui pondered for a moment: "It's best to be tricky about the food, it's unavoidable, if you don't turn a blind eye too much, it's fine, if they are unscrupulous, both of you , you are my people, you must not ruin the Yao family's reputation!"

Yi Guanshi Yao Cunhui can be trusted, but his subordinates are not necessarily so.Manager Yi was ordered by Xie Fuyun himself, and he was more or less in awe of Yao Cunhui and the Yao family, but his servants inevitably had high vision. Who can they see in the eyes of Xie's servants?
Fan Shuangshuang's face was timid, and he didn't know how to answer for a while, so he subconsciously looked at Fan Li.

Fan Li thought for a while, then said: "Shuangshuang, you should keep an eye on it secretly, and if you find any problems, come back and tell your brother, we can discuss and solve them."

"A man who is easy to manage can't go past him, but how to tell him has to be haggled - understand what I mean?"

"The villain understands! Miss, don't worry!" Fan Li replied after thinking for a while.

"Shuangshuang, you don't have to be afraid of them, they are here to help—but not in vain, I pay them twice as much as they used to; they are relatives, we have to be respectful and polite Treat each other, but you can't treat them as bodhisattvas! As the saying goes, the king of Hades is easy to see, and little ghosts are difficult to deal with. When dealing with little ghosts, you can't blindly show weakness and fall into your own prestige. How many ugly words! For such a large manor, the personnel and management will only be more complicated in the future, and the internal and external relations will only be more complicated than now, and will not be simple. If you can't even handle the current situation, the future will be difficult It's even harder!"

"You are members of the Yao family. When I am not around, you are the masters of this place. It is necessary for masters to treat guests in a friendly manner, but don't allow others to overwhelm you!"

What he said made the siblings nod their heads in agreement, "The villain understands what to do." Fan Li replied.

"Oh?" Yao Cunhui said with a smile: "Then tell me, what should you do?"

Fan Li thought for a while, and said: "For the hired workers, according to the rules set by the young lady, they should be supervised and punished. If there is anything wrong with the people brought by Yi Guanshi, the villain will hint and reveal it to him. , ask him to discipline, and will not confront them directly, but let them know the attitude of the Yao family; Yi Guan has rich experience, and the villain will respect him as always and ask him for advice."

Yao Cunhui smiled and said: "Your temper has changed a lot! It's good to think so, take your time with many things, and you don't have to worry, no one is born with everything! In short, both We must be neither humble nor overbearing, but also be flexible and understand human feelings. We must do things well to achieve the results we want, and we must save everyone’s face so as not to embarrass relatives.”

Fan Li thought for a while, nodded involuntarily, and then laughed uncontrollably: "The villain thinks that the second young lady is born to be able to do everything!"

Yao Cunhui and Fan Shuangshuang both laughed.

"Second miss, the villain's brothers and sisters can't go back to the capital for the time being, the villain's mother—" Fan Li's expression froze, and he mentioned it with some hesitation.Fan Shuangshuang also paid attention, looking at Yao Cunhui eagerly.

"Don't worry about that!" Yao Cunhui said with a smile, "Give me the address. After I return to Beijing, I will visit your home in person and ask someone to take care of it from time to time. After you settle down here, I will send her to the old man's house." Take it over, in this situation, it's not good for her to come! You can write a letter, or if you have something to say, let me take it back!"

Fan Li and Fan Shuangshuang hurriedly thanked her, and Fan Shuangshuang smiled and said: "The maidservant's mother can't read, so it's fine to write a letter, please tell her that everything is fine with us brothers and sisters, please rest assured!" He said again: "Where is the place where the second young lady should go to the servant's house? The second young lady sent someone to pass the message, and the slave and servant brothers and sisters will be very grateful!"

Fan Li also nodded: "Miss has taken care of me a lot, I am ashamed of myself. The 20 taels owed to Miss have not been paid off..."

This person is still stubborn, always remember this!Yao Cunhui said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "If you know you are ashamed, you should do your job well! You don't need to remember the debts you owe every day! Do things well, study hard, and when you become a chief executive, you will be paid more than 20 taels a month!" "

Fan Li's chest was throbbing, he didn't know what to say for a moment, he could only bow his head and make up his mind.

In the evening, Yao Cunhui ordered someone to make a table of noodles, and invited Guanshi Yi, Fan Li brothers and sisters, and five or six important stewards under Yi Guanshi's subordinates to have dinner together. A lot of attention from everyone.

These people are all good people. Seeing that Yao Cunhui attaches great importance to Fan Li brothers and sisters, and from Yao Cunhui's words, he can hear the meaning that the Yao family is very likely to hand over this large manor to Fan Li to manage in the future.In other words, Fan Li is a potential stock with a bright future. This place is very close to Jinling. Who can guarantee that he will not be asked for help in the future?Besides, it is better to have one more friend than one more enemy, and they all made up their minds secretly, saving a little bit of sincerity in making friends with Fan Li, and put away a little bit of contempt in the past.

Early the next morning, Yao Cunhui left Hu Township. Before leaving, he said to Yi Guanshi and Fan Li with a smile, "I will definitely come again when the next year's spring plowing is in progress, and I hope to see the endless fertile fields. Qing! When the time comes, I will definitely reward you all again!"

Yi Guanshi, Fan Li and others clasped their hands and agreed with a smile, saying that they would not disappoint the second lady!In the spring of the coming year, if you look at the past and see as far as you can see, there must be continuous fertile fields and thriving!
What Yao Cunhui didn't know at this time was that when she left Huxiang for more than a month, the Lu family and Fu's family thanked her for her medical treatment. Regarding the land matter, I wanted to help her accumulate popularity, so I also sent people to Huxiang to take a look around, planning to buy a house of three to five hundred acres.

As a result, when the manager went to Hu Township and saw the decent farm that the Yao family had put together, the shrewd people immediately sensed the future, and went back to report to the master in detail. When they came back, they each bought thousands of acres. .Xie's family Yun then mentioned a few words in front of his father by the way, and bought [-] mu in the name of Xie's family.With his three families taking the lead, more eyes are cast on Hu Township, both those who wait and see and those who attack, and Hu Township is becoming more and more lively day by day, bringing business opportunities to other areas as well!
Mr. Zhao was ecstatic. Since he thanked the family, he raised the price of the land, which is already one tael per mu.

Yao Cunhui left Hu Township, returned to Jinling, and returned to Xie Mansion.

The boat back to Beijing has been hired, and the return date is set for the day after tomorrow.

As soon as they parted, the two sisters couldn't help feeling sad, exhorting each other, with smiles on their faces, but deep in their hearts.

"The boatman hired is a proper person. He has been walking on the canal for many years and is very experienced. Your brother-in-law has already explained that you don't have to worry about anything along the way, just wait for the Beijing safely! My name is I prepared seven or eight side dishes, sealed them tightly in porcelain jars, and brought them along to whet my appetite! I also prepared some medicine for seasickness, so take them with you carefully!"

"All the things I brought back for you are piled up on the kang in the west wing. Some of them were given by my mother-in-law, second aunt, and third aunt. I have labeled them all. You can take a look when you go back! I will bring them tomorrow. You go to their farewell to say thank you. I prepared a list one by one, and when I go back, you will divide it up with my father, mother, second uncle, second aunt, and several younger brothers and sisters for me. Say hello to me! And grandma’s house The last one, I'd like to ask you to go for me! By the way, there is a pair of enamel vases with flowers and birds, a set of red gold dot emerald flowers, and a pair of gemstone bracelets for the makeup of the second cousin. Forgot to give it to her personally, say congratulations for me..."

Yao Cunhui agreed one by one, and at the end Yao Cunjia asked again: "Have you prepared all your luggage? Ask Xiao Xing and Xiao Li to check carefully again. Is there anything missing? Don't be inconvenient on the boat!"
