It is said that they are Shen Changwen's book boy, but the relationship between the two is more like brothers, and Shen Changwen is like an older brother taking care of Jiang Feng.

In Jiang Feng's heart, Shen Changwen is his last relative in this world, so he is naturally most concerned about Shen Changwen's safety.

After calming down the restless little book boy, Shen Changwen came to the study and listened to Lin Butler's report on the situation since the past few days.

Butler Lin is the old man who was promoted by Shen Changwen.

He has rich experience and is familiar with all aspects of the Hu family.

Although Shen Changwen used spells to gain the loyalty of these people, it did not mean that he deprived them of their ability to think.

When facing Shen Changwen, they are loyal, but when facing other people, they will still fight secretly, care about, and get angry. They are not robots, but living people.

So if you want the entire huge Shen Mansion to run safely, and Shen Changwen himself can be a hands-off shopkeeper with peace of mind, a safe, reliable and experienced housekeeper is essential.

"No major incidents have happened in the past few days. The arcs below are busy farming, and the shops in the mansion are also operating normally."

"However, just a few days ago, the bandits on Yueshan sent a password, asking us to prepare a thousand shi of grain for them, otherwise they will come down from the mountain to plunder the village!"

Hearing the news, Shen Changwen frowned.

"There are bandits on Moon Mountain?"

"Yes, sir."

Butler Lin nodded affirmatively and explained.

"Part of the land owned by the mansion is at the foot of Yueshan Mountain. Where the land is fertile, the annual harvest accounts for [-]% of the mansion's harvest. It is a major source of food for the mansion."

"And it is precisely because of the fertile land around Mount Moon that a group of thieves and bandits have fallen on Mount Moon, specializing in robbing houses and robbing the farmers below Mount Moon to survive. It can be said that life is very happy. delicious."

"Then how did you deal with these bandits in the past?"

Lin Butler said helplessly: "In the past, when facing these bandits, everyone used to spend money to eliminate disasters."

"After all, we are a big family with a lot of territory. It is inevitable that we have to deal with various things. If we fight head-on with those bandits, although we can beat them, it is not cost-effective. After all, it is rare for a young man to have it, so we still have to work hard." It is not in the interests of the government to preserve and use it for farming, and if it is seriously worn out in the fight."

"So in the past at this time, we would give them some food to avoid the danger of the two parties fighting."

"Is that so?" After listening to Butler Lin's answer, Shen Changwen nodded noncommittally.

He could understand the mentality of Hu Wancai and others making such a decision before.

Bandits are desperadoes after all, and they are extremely dangerous to fight. Generally, inexperienced farmers need at least five or six people to kill a bandit.

And in this chaotic era, there is no shortage of fields, but population.

To be precise, it should be a young man.

The young and strong are the most important force in farming. The previous Hu family had thousands of hectares of fertile land, and these fields cannot be allowed to go to waste.

If you want to cultivate the fields, you need a lot of young people.

The young men owned by the Hu family were already stretched thin, and now they were asked to sacrifice a large number of young men's lives in exchange for a battle victory.

Compared with long-term farming profits, it is obviously not worthwhile.

It's better to lose money and eliminate disasters, sacrificing a little benefit in exchange for more long-term benefits.

"But this was the choice of the Hu family before, now this is my Shen family!"

"Since you dare to blackmail me, let me see how much appetite you have!"

A playful look flashed in Shen Changwen's eyes. He was a dignified monk in the fairyland, so he couldn't accept that he was blackmailed by a group of ordinary bandits.

"Let the people under us prepare. This time, we refuse to hand over food to them. If they dare to invade their territory, let them come and go this time!"

"Okay, sir."

For Shen Changwen's order, Lin Butler naturally obeyed unconditionally.

In their hearts, Shen Changwen is the biggest thing, they will not have any doubts about Shen Changwen's orders, they will only do their best to complete the orders assigned by Shen Changwen.

In addition to the matter about the Yueshan Bandits, Lin Butler also reported some other things about the mansion.

But these are some small things, which have already been resolved by him, and now they are just reporting to Shen Changwen.

Half an hour later, Shen Changwen walked out of the study quietly after listening to Butler Lin's report.

in the evening

Shen Changwen and Jiang Feng had dinner in the courtyard.

A white figure suddenly appeared on the wall.

Seeing Shen Changwen's figure, Ahri happily uttered a cry like a baby, then quickly jumped off the wall and jumped in front of Shen Changwen.

"Little Fox, long time no see!"

Looking at the little fox in front of him, Shen Changwen smiled and patted Ari's little head.

Ari happily rubbed his head against Shen Changwen's palm.

It has been more than half a month since the last meeting, and Shen Changwen found that the light of wisdom in Ari's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he made great progress again.

It seems that it is not far away from opening the wisdom.

"Ahli, you're here."
