The farm girl has a field and is super powerful

Chapter 398 What are you talking about?

"Madam, this manor looks like the property of Meng Shilang's family. The address of the manor is on the outskirts of the city. The location is quite good. It is a tea garden. It is probably two hours away from the mansion."

"Oh, Tea Garden, I see." Bai Jinli nodded.

"Ma'am, I would like to ask the old slave, how did the Zhuangzi of Meng Shilang's family come into your hands?"

"I accidentally rescued Meng Shilang's wife and children. Meng Shilang gave me a gift to thank me."

"It's so, madam is really unusual." Old Zhou couldn't help but speak.

"Old Zhou, why are you so clear about this?" Bai Jinli asked him curiously.

"Return to Madam. The old slave is from the capital, and likes to inquire about some gossip in the capital when he has nothing to do. It just happened that I heard about Meng Shilang's family affairs a few days ago, so I know something about it."

"Oh?"

Seeing Bai Jinli's interested expression, Lao Zhou continued.

"Actually speaking, this manor originally belonged to the previous Shilang Zhao, because something happened to Shilang Zhao's family, his house was confiscated, and these manors outside were also put up for sale by the court.

Meng Shilang bought some land and manors with the rewards he received from His Majesty after taking over the vacancy of the servant, and the one given to you is one of them. "

"Why would His Majesty reward Meng Shilang with something? Besides, is it reasonable for him to buy the manor with the money His Majesty rewarded and give it to me?" Bai Jinli asked.

"Ma'am, Meng Shilang was once the number one scholar in the new discipline who was personally selected by His Majesty. He was very competent during his two years as an editor of the Imperial Academy in the Imperial Academy. He was later transferred to another provincial capital and had a good reputation. He was transferred back to the capital to work under Zhao Shilang.

Now that he is a servant and is also a member of His Majesty, it is only natural for His Majesty to reward him with things.As for giving it to Madam, it is naturally reasonable. After all, the manor was bought by Meng Shilang, and it is not a gift from the imperial court, so there is no particular emphasis on it. "

"I see." Bai Jinli nodded.

His Majesty promoted Meng Shilang and rewarded him, which clearly told Meng Shilang that he was favored by the emperor.

And those who are valued by the emperor will naturally show their sincerity to be the emperor.

In addition, other ministers in the court will also stare at Meng Shilang, either envious or blessing or jealous.

What's involved here is complicated.

But fortunately, it has nothing to do with her.

"Old Zhou, send someone to inquire about the current situation and personnel arrangements of this manor."

"By the way, is there any other vacant land near this manor that can be bought or sold? I still need [-] acres of vacant land."

"Yes, ma'am." Lao Zhou nodded, and then retreated.

"Master, are you going to use that piece of manor land?" Qi Duo couldn't help asking.

"Well, I plan to turn that manor into a garden and plant all kinds of flowers." Bai Jinli said.

After the spa shop opens, it will definitely need a lot of essential oils, aromatherapy and other things.

Although these finished products can be purchased directly with gold coins in the space, they are quite expensive.

Besides, when her shop opens, it will always attract the attention of others. If these things do not have an apparent source, it will inevitably arouse suspicion.

So it is better to directly plant a large number of flowers, and then use the purification and extraction technology learned in the space to make various essential oils and other things.

With this premise, she can take the opportunity to make more perfumes, which will definitely be hotter than the perfumes on the market.

She was considering buying land recently, but Meng Shilang gave her a hundred acres of manor.

It's really dozing off, and someone will give you a pillow and iron it.

Of course, not all of the [-]-acre manor is used to plant flowers, and she has to allocate a third to plant some fruit trees.

As for the [-] mu of land that Lao Zhou was going to explore, she planned to use it to grow medicinal materials.

If this is the case, then a new problem arises.

When the time comes, where will we find so many reliable and trustworthy people to manage these places?

After all, these places are all in the suburbs, quite far from her home.

That's all, let's put this question aside for now, and wait for Lao Zhou to come back after inquiring about the news.

As soon as Bai Jinli was done with the work at hand, Bai Mo handed over the ledger and his newly made ledger template, ledger summary, business analysis diagram of the snack shop, performance growth analogy diagram, etc.

"Sister-in-law, I've already sorted out all the ledgers you sent, please check."

Bai Jinli took those and flipped through them.

Well, the data sorted out by white ink really looks very clear and easy to understand.

Which month is the most profitable, which snacks are the most popular among the people, which season and which snacks sell better, and so on.

Qi Duo and Xiang Ming, who were standing beside Bai Jinli, glanced at the ledger inadvertently, and were stunned.

It turns out, can the ledger still do this?
Long insight!

"Bai Mo, you've done a good job." After simply flipping through the pages, Bai Jinli praised him with great satisfaction.

"Hey." Hearing Bai Jinli praised him, Bai Mo felt a sense of satisfaction after being recognized, and he was very happy.

"By the way, Bai Mo, when will you go to the academy to study?"

"Grandpa said that he would take me out to meet the master the day after tomorrow. Then the master will ask me some questions. If the master is satisfied, I can go to that college to study."

"Well, you don't have to be nervous. You can answer whatever comes to your mind when the master asks you questions. I believe you won't be troubled by such a small quiz."

"Yeah." Bai Mo nodded.

----

After hearing Lao Zhou's news about the suburban tea garden that he came back from, Bai Jinli decided to go there in person.

According to the news, the tea garden was originally located in a good location, growing gratifyingly, and making good profits every year.But Zhao Shilang in the past didn't care about managing these things, and handed over the property to his trusted servants to take care of it.

As a result, the servants filled their pockets and secretly replaced all the more important people in the tea garden with their own people.

Those people are lazy, domineering, tossing a good tea garden in a bad way, and they can't stand the account on the surface.

Later, the manor was transferred to Meng Shilang, and Meng Shilang gave it to her before he had time to investigate and organize it.

If she wanted to make good use of the manor, she had to clean up the inside of the manor first!
After propping his head up and thinking for a while, Bai Jinli soon had a plan.

She ordered the servants in the mansion to take her letter to the Meng Mansion, and brought back the labor contracts signed by all the people in the manor.

After looking through those things, Bai Jinli discovered a problem. Some of these people were long-term workers hired by the former Zhao Shilang and signed long-term contracts.

There are also a small number of servants who signed the death contract, because they made a mistake and were sent here.

The rest are day laborers, who are slightly better than others. If the manor is not busy, they don't have to come, but at the same time they are not paid.

It turns out that even in the capital, poor people still exist.

Bai Jinli woke up early the next morning.

Before Bai Yi and Lin Chenyuan left, she handed all the books she had found from the space to Bai Yi, telling him to read more when he had nothing to do, and cared about Lin Chenyuan again.

After seeing them off, Bai Jinli took the second fire, Xiang Ming and Xiao Chiwang together and set off for the manor on the outskirts of the capital.

The man driving the carriage was a servant named Pan Zi from the mansion. Apart from him, Bai Jinli did not bring any other servants out of the mansion, and even the guards stayed in the mansion.

The manor in the suburbs was really far away from their home, and there was still a long way to go after leaving the city in the carriage.

Xiang Ming is a quiet talker, unlike Qi Duo and other maids who would talk to her when nothing happened.

Xiao Chiwang was forcibly pulled out by her, and he seemed a little unhappy on his small face, and he didn't take the initiative to talk to her.

After Bai Jinli opened his mouth to chat with the two of them for a few words, he stopped talking and took out a bag of dried fruit and knocked it.

The carriage has been walking for a long time, but it can be regarded as arriving at the destination.

After getting off the carriage, Bai Jinli looked at the house and manor in front of him, showing a meaningful smile.

This house on the outskirts of the city is a rather large house. I heard that it has complete facilities and everything you need, even the maids and servants are matched.

As for the manor, it is very close to this other courtyard, and it is only half a cup of tea.

Bai Jinli took a look at the house, let the big fire pass quietly to explore the wind, and then she led several other people directly to the tea plantation manor.

At this moment, the manor is a lush green area, which looks like green fortresses from a distance. When you walk into some, you can smell a faint fragrance, which is refreshing.

There are many tenant farmers scattered among the tea gardens, and they are all working hard at the moment.

Bai Jinli walked along that path towards the small courtyard in the tea garden. I heard that it was the place where everyone rested and had dinner.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?" Soon someone blocked Bai Jinli and the others.

"Who are you? Haven't you heard that this place has changed owners? Unfortunately, I am the owner of this manor." Bai Jinli said lightly.

"What nonsense are you talking about! This manor used to belong to Zhao Shilang's family, but was later bought by Meng Shilang. You woman, you dare to take the idea of ​​the manor in the hands of the imperial court official, you are really audacious!"

"Come on, beat them out!"

Seeing the high-spirited look of the man in front of him, Bai Jinli made a gesture with his eyes, and Er Huo immediately stepped forward knowingly, and beat the man to his knees on the ground two or three times, screaming.

"Listen, this manor belongs to me now. It was given to me by Meng Shilang himself. I have the land and house deeds here, which are reasonable and legal. I will give you half a stick of incense to call the person in charge of the manor to me."

Bai Jinli opened her mouth to give orders.

"Yes, yes, I'll go now, little one." The man knelt on the ground and secretly raised his eyes to look at Bai Jinli, then he scrambled away.

Bai Jinli walked slowly to the courtyard of the other courtyard and looked around. Xiang Ming told Pan Zi to bring out a stool and table with a wink, and quickly wiped them clean with a handkerchief.

Then he took out the tea and cup that Bai Jinli brought to make tea, and also put some snacks and desserts that she brought on the table beside her.

Bai Jinli gave her an appreciative look, then sat down.

It seems that although Xiang Ming is cold-faced, he is still very good at being a person and doing things.

"Ma'am, what if those people don't want to come over?" Er Huo asked worriedly.
