MTL - Hot Farmer’s Wife: Buying a Husband for the Farm-Chapter 301 301 Major General

   Chapter 301 301 Major General

   "On the cabbage side, Ganniang and I will try to collect all the cabbage from Dashi Village in the next two days. Then arrange someone to drive to a few villages nearby to collect them."

   Lin Xiaoyue frowned slightly, "The family is going to build a workshop, Zhao Kang and Zhao Qiang can't leave for the time being."

   "It's okay to send someone. Let Erya go and ask Brother Shuanzi if he is interested in continuing to do business with Brother Laishun."

   "Let's say we want 10,000 catties of cabbage, and we will charge it at a penny per catty. We don't care how much they charge outside."

   Cabbage is the most common vegetable, and every household with land will usually plant some.

   At this time of year, cabbage is produced in large quantities, and a penny a pound is considered a high price. If you go to the door to collect it, or even go to the ground to chop it yourself, I am afraid that it can be done for a penny or a catty.

   Ten thousand catties of cabbage, it takes two or three days to earn a few taels of silver.

   Zhou's eyes brightened, "Sure! Then I'll go find Er Ya!" He said quickly.

   "No hurry." Lin Xiaoyue stopped Zhou.

   Mr. Zhou stopped, looked at Lin Xiaoyue, and waited for her to speak.

   This girl, she is simply too powerful. With her there, their workshop will definitely make a lot of money.

  Lin Xiaoyue stepped forward and grabbed Zhou's hand, then pulled Zhou to sit on the row of chairs under the big tree.

   "When I was discussing cooperation with Mr. Liang and Mr. Wednesday, you weren't there, sister-in-law. I'll tell you the situation first, so you know it well."

   "Okay, I'll listen." Zhou Shi was moved and said.

  Lin Xiaoyue then explained the details of her cooperation with Liang Yu and Zhou Ye.

   "One catty of spicy cabbage is eight cents, and 20,000 catties is one hundred and sixty taels of silver. Deducting the workers' wages, the cost of the cabbage, the cost of the spicy cabbage sauce, and the cost of the jar, is the profit from this batch of goods."

   "I have already received the one hundred and sixty taels of silver. When you arrange for workers to complete the goods, we can share the first dividend."

   She estimated that the profit from this batch of goods would be close to a hundred taels. To her, there must be a profit of nearly forty taels of silver.

   In addition, she paid fifteen cents a pound of dried chili, which was converted into raw materials, and she could earn an extra twenty taels of silver. It was not a big problem to buy forty taels of this batch of goods in the end.

   Compared to the tens of thousands of taels she got at one time, and the two Zhuangzi for nothing, this amount of money is really not enough.

   However, this is just the beginning. At present, the workshop has not been built, and the workers are not skilled and cooperate well enough.

   When the workshop starts next year, it will continue to generate income for her.

  Zhou based on the quotation that Lin Xiaoyue said earlier, after a little pondering, he roughly calculated the profit of this batch of goods.

   Then he calculated 30% of the profit and calculated the amount of money that he could get for this batch of goods.

   "Add up to seven or eight days before and after, and this batch of goods will be ready. The profit is not low."

   This batch of goods should be distributed to her, and there must be thirty or so taels of silver. On average, there are nearly four taels of silver a day.

   doesn’t sound like much, but it’s more than a hundred taels a month. And this is just the beginning.

   When the workshop is officially started, the profits will be very considerable.

  Lin Xiaoyue nodded.

   "You keep all the accounts. When this batch of goods is finished, we will settle the accounts. At that time, the completed accounts need to be shown to Shopkeeper Liang and Lord Wednesday."

  Since it is already a partnership, this is the first time the bento has gone through the process.

   When Mr. Zhou heard that Shopkeeper Liang and Mr. Zhou were looking at the accounts she did, her expressions became nervous.

   "This...I just listed and recorded it casually. Before...I didn't make an account." He said embarrassedly.

  Lin Xiaoyue smiled, "It's alright, when the time comes, you can hand over the listed items to Uncle Fu, and let him sort them out and put them in the account book."

   Zhou Shi immediately breathed a sigh of relief. "to make."

   "Don't worry. Before the workshop starts, let's specially invite a bookkeeper to come over, and then you won't have to worry about the bookkeeping."

   "That's good. However, you have to hire someone you can trust!" Zhou Shi hurriedly said.

  Lin Xiaoyue nodded, "Chosen, we will ask Lord Wednesday to help you pay attention. In addition, we have to be aware of some expenses. In addition, after the monthly account is released, it should be safe to check the account with the outside accountant."

   "Well, this is feasible." Zhou Shi replied.

  Lin Xiaoyue looked at Zhou, "You have been working hard these days, sister-in-law. When this batch of spicy cabbage is finished, there will be nothing to do for the time being."

   "What's the hard work?! They do all the rough and heavy work, so I'll keep my mouth shut. Seriously, it's not a bad feeling to direct so many people to do things!" Zhou Shi laughed.

  's tone of voice made Lin Xiaoyue laugh.

   "Sister-in-law if you like it."

Lin Xiaoyue thought of something, and continued: "I plan, when this batch of spicy cabbage is finished, I will go to a few villages to have a look. If you don't mind, sister-in-law, how about going with me then? Just... help me support Stand up."

Zhou Shi laughed heartily, "What's the matter? When the girl wants to go, just call me! If you want to support the scene, don't say anything. Zhuangzi Shang Liang Gongzi and my cousin will arrange people to go, and those people are there. , who dares to disrespect you?"

  Lin Xiaoyue acted coquettishly and took Zhou Shi's arm, "Thank you, sister-in-law, I am more at ease with my sister-in-law!"

   "Hehe, it's all a family, why are you being polite?!" Zhou Shi smiled and patted Lin Xiaoyue's arm.

   was talking, but suddenly there was a sound at the gate of the courtyard.

  The two followed the voice and found that it was Liang Yu and the shopkeeper Liang who had turned back.

   Seeing the two of them, Zhou shi's expression was startled.

   "Young Master Liang, Shopkeeper Liang, but what have you forgotten?" Lin Xiaoyue glanced at Mrs. Zhou, pretended not to see Mrs. Zhou's expression, and asked Liang Yu and Shopkeeper Liang with a smile.

   "Lin Dong's house." Shopkeeper Liang hurriedly entered the door, cupped his hands at Lin Xiaoyue from a distance, and kept looking around, as if looking for someone.

   "Lin Dong's family, I don't know where Mr. Li is now?" Then he asked Lin Xiaoyue directly, looking very anxious.

  Lin Xiaoyue looked at Liang Yu and asked.

  Liang Yu gave Shopkeeper Liang a warning look, then stepped forward and bowed to Lin Xiaoyue.

   "I was walking halfway, and suddenly I remembered something and wanted to chat with Brother Li. I don't know, is Brother Li at home now?"

   He felt that he was doing things prudently, and this time he made a great contribution, so he told him about Li Xiao. I didn't expect him to be so frantic.

   Shopkeeper Liang was instantly alert and stood aside without speaking.

   At this time, Zhou Shi was relieved.

   Young Master Liang and Shopkeeper Liang came back to find their brother-in-law, so it's nothing.

   She was really afraid that Young Master Liang and his sister had some secret agreement, but she accidentally broke it.

   With her sister on one side and the Zhou family on the other, she will be in trouble.

  Fortunately…

   Lin Xiaoyue wanted to laugh when she saw Zhou's reaction.

   looked at Liang Yu, "He and Uncle Fu went to the workshop to count the materials. If necessary, I'll call him for you." After speaking, he was ready to lift his feet.

   "No, Lin Dong's family stays. You can go to find brother Li by yourself." Liang Yu surrendered to Lin Xiaoyue again.

   then left with shopkeeper Liang.

  Lin Xiaoyue smiled, stopped, and did not say anything to keep the two of them.

   I couldn't hold my breath enough to come back so soon.

   Zhou saw that Liang Yu and Shopkeeper Liang had both gone out. Lin Xiaoyue was still staring at the door, and then glanced in the direction of the door again.

   Just wanted to talk to Lin Xiaoyue, but Lin Xiaoyue has withdrawn her gaze and looked at her.

   "Let's go, sister-in-law, let's take a look at your records. Look for those who have registered before and have a lot of cabbage in the fields."

   "Oh...Okay." Zhou Shi and Lin Xiaoyue then left.

   On the other side, Liang Yu took Shopkeeper Liang to the workshop and found Li Xiao.

   "Brother Li, can you take a step to speak?" Seeing Li Xiao, Liang Yu's expression changed.

   In front of others, the image of the aloof noble son, there is still two points of humility.

  Li Xiao just glanced at him lightly, "The last two piles of materials have not been counted yet, you go to the side and wait." He said coldly.

   Shopkeeper Liang, who was behind Liang Yu, moved, and before he could speak, he was shot by Liang Yu with a warning look.

   Shopkeeper Liang hurriedly returned to his bowed posture again, not daring to say a word.

   He didn't actually plan to do anything, but was surprised by Major General Nangong's attitude.

   After all, the status of their patriarchs is not ordinary, even His Highness would not be so slack as patriarchs.

   But when I got to this Major General Nangong, it turned out to be—

   It is rumored that this major general is taciturn and unfriendly, but it seems to be true.

   "Okay, let's go, wait for Brother Li to finish his work." Liang Yu bowed his hands to Li Xiao, and took Shopkeeper Liang to the side.

   And Li Xiao, under Zhao Fu's surprised eyes, continued to count the materials.

   After a while, with Zhao Fu's deliberate acceleration, the last two piles of materials were finally counted.

   "Uncle, there is still something to do in the house, the old slave will retire first." After finishing the matter, Zhao Fu hurriedly saluted Li Xiao.

   After he finished speaking, he glanced at Liang Yu and Shopkeeper Liang who were waiting not far away.

   Young Master Liang actually came to look for Uncle, and his attitude was very respectful. This is unusual.

   Uncle said he was from a slave, but no matter where he looked, he didn't think his uncle was ordinary.

   Now, Young Master Liang respects his uncle so much that even the young lady doesn't have such a big face in Young Master Liang's place. The identity of the uncle is afraid that it is extraordinary.

   Having worked in a large family for most of his life, he knows that without the consent of his master, there are some things that cannot be pondered and asked blindly.

   "Well." Li Xiao didn't care about Zhao Fu's eyes, and answered lightly.

   Zhao Fu then left.

   When Zhao Fu was far away, Liang Yu asked Shopkeeper Liang to pay attention to the surrounding situation, and then walked towards Li Xiao.

   "Major General." When he approached Li Xiao, Liang Yu bowed to Li Xiao and shouted in a low voice.

   When he heard Liang Yu's name, Li Xiao just gave him a light look, his expression didn't change.

   When Liang Yu saw this, her face was filled with joy.

   "Sure enough, it's the Major General! The First Prince will be very happy to know that you and His Royal Highness are still alive!" said excitedly.

  Li Xiao looked at Liang Yu.

   "Li has nothing to do with His Highness." When his father was alive, he really praised the First Prince a lot.

   But despite this, the Great General's palace never got close to the eldest prince, or any other prince except Qing'er.

  Liang Yu smiled embarrassedly.

   "The major general and the old general fought on the battlefield and protected Dayan. The first prince has always respected and admired. It was natural for His Royal Highness to be concerned about the safety and whereabouts of the major general and the ninth highness."

  Li Xiao looked straight at Liang Yu.

   Liang Yu quickly looked away.

   "Before—before Liang had been staying in Nan'an County, he was ordered by the First Prince to let Liang explore the whereabouts of the Major General and His Royal Highness." But he continued under pressure.

   The name of the shaman really lives up to its reputation.

   Before, this person also restrained the sense of oppression on his body, so he was not so scary.

   But at this moment, he was full of momentum, looking at him condescendingly, so that his breath was a little unstable.

   "Now that someone has been found, you can also go back." Li Xiao said lightly. Finally put away the momentum.

   Liang Yu looked up at Li Xiao, and instantly felt that the pressure was less than half.

"few--"

   As soon as he said a word, he saw Li Xiao reaching out and interrupting him.

   "The past has become a cloud, Nangong Xiao and Murongqing have already died under the pursuit of killers. Dayan, there will be no Great General's palace, nor Nangong Young General." Li Xiao looked at Liang Yu.

   "The one standing in front of you is Li Xiao, the most common villager in Dashi Village."

   There was no unwillingness in Li Xiao's eyes, only indifferent, Liang Yu was surprised and puzzled.

   "I beg your son Liang to go back and tell the eldest prince that Li Xiao has no intention of participating in court disputes, and only wants Xianyun Yehe to spend the rest of his life, please don't worry about him."

   "Besides, Qing'er will only be Xiao Qing in the future, and will have nothing to do with the royal family."

  Liang Yu was shocked again. It is unacceptable that such a proud son of heaven should be the head of Qian and lead a mediocre life.

   "Less—" He also wanted to persuade Li Xiao.

   But he just said a word, but was stopped by Li Xiao's eyes again.

   The huge sense of oppression caused Liang Yu's complexion to change instantly, and she lowered her head.

   But where is Liang Yu an ordinary person, he will be scared off by Li Xiao's look.

   I saw him bowing to Li Xiao again.

   "Brother Li, you and I both know that the Great General's palace was framed and convicted. The name of the Great General Wang I was destroyed, and the Nangong family, except for you and the Ninth Highness, has become a ghost."

   "Have you never thought about redressing the injustice of the Great General and the Great General's palace?"

   Noticing a wave in Li Xiao's eyes, Liang Yu hurriedly continued: "Even if you are disheartened by the imperial court and don't want to be involved in court disputes. But if you want to retire, others may not let you go."

"Previously, you made a false appearance that you and His Highness the Ninth Highness fell off a cliff and died. Although those two corpses are of the same height as you, but under the circumstance that they cannot be concluded that they are you, with that suspicious temper, you think he will believe, Are you and Ninth Highness really dead?"

Seeing another wave of fluctuations in Li Xiao's eyes, Liang Yu was greatly encouraged, and continued: "Actually, the several forces in Beijing have never given up to continue looking for you and His Royal Highness. It's just that they are no longer as blatant as before. ."

   "Otherwise, why do you think I'll come to Nan'an County?"

  Li Xiao's eyes turned cold, and he instantly looked at Liang Yu.

The killing intent in   's eyes made Liang Yu feel terrified.
