Seeing this, Fan Ming also hurriedly bowed to Lin Xiaoyue.
“Yes, Miss!” He replied.
“Mmm.” Lin Xiaoyue nodded.
She looked at the two of them.
“However, you have to divide these newly acquired lands.”
“The land near the two manors will belong to the corresponding manor.
There’s nothing to discuss there. As for the land between the two manors, you can discuss it yourself and try to divide it according to proximity.”
Zhong Gui and Fan Ming looked at each other.
“Yes.”
Lin Xiaoyue then waved at the two of them.
“Don’t just stand there. Sit down and talk.”
“Thank you, Miss!” The two of them replied and sat back down.
After the two of them sat down, Lin Xiaoyue said to Zhong Gui, “I already have a general understanding of the situation in the Zhou Manor. Head Zhong, tell me about Mao’er Manor.”
“Yes, Miss!” Zhong Gui said as he prepared to get up.
However, Lin Xiaoyue stretched out her hand to stop him.
Zhong Gui sat back down.
Then, he explained it to her.
As Lin Xiaoyue listened, she jotted down some important information.
After Zhong Gui finished, she asked Cao De to tell her about the Meng Manor.
Just like that, Lin Xiaoyue had a rough understanding of the three manors.
Of the three manors, the Meng Manor was the easiest to rent out. The other two were not so easy to rent due to their geographical location and the small population around them.
“I have a plan that I would like to discuss with you.” Lin Xiaoyue suddenly said.
The three’s expressions turned serious as they looked at Lin Xiaoyue.
If she had any plans, she could just tell them directly, and they would just do as she said. The fact that she wanted to discuss with them meant that she valued their opinions.
“I’m sure you’ve already heard some news. Next year, I plan to use all three plots of land to grow two types of crops.”
“One is chili and the other is sweet potato.”
Seeing the three people’s puzzled expressions, Lin Xiaoyue explained, “chili is the most important. It is the foundation of my business with Ruyi Restaurant and Master Zhou.”
As Lin Xiaoyue spoke, she told the three of them about her collaboration with Ruyi Restaurant and Third Master Zhou in the chili business.
The three of them were shocked.
What kind of precious crop was this chili that could attract the attention of those two?
Not only did they give the manor to her, they even sent someone to guard it.
“As for the sweet potato, although it’s not as valuable as the chili, it can grow with the chili. In order to conserve land, 1 plan to plant it for a season.”
“In addition, the sweet potato is valuable. The leaves could be used as vegetables, and the branches and vines could be used to feed pigs. Tubers could be eaten and could also be used to grind into powder, making sweet potato powder, vermicelli, and so on.”
“So, in addition to planting sweet potatoes, I also plan to set up a pig farm in the village.”
“The sweet potato vine is pig feed. In addition, the pig manure can be put into the ground to help the chilis and sweet potatoes grow.”
This time, not only were the three men shocked, Li Xiao, Zhou Shi, and Zhao Shanshan were also shocked.
What are sweet potatoes? Is it that magical?
“Miss, is the sweet potato really that powerful?” Fan Ming couldn’t help but ask.
They had never heard of it before.
Lin Xiaoyue smiled.
“Of course. Not only that, but they grow fast. The yield per mu could easily reach more than 4,000 catties.”
“Its tubers taste sweet. Not only can we eat them, but also livestock like chickens and ducks”
“Mix them with bran and the chickens and ducks will grow faster after eating them.”
At this point, Lin Xiaoyue could not help but want to build three more chicken farms.
She had so much land. Even if she only planted them for one season a year, the yield of sweet potatoes would still be shocking.
“How about this? In addition to the pig farm, we’ll also set up a chicken farm. After the sweet potatoes are harvested, we’ll set it up.” Lin Xiaoyue said.
Then, she would ask Ruyi Restaurant for help to get the chickens for the chicken farm.
They could also provide some pigs.
As for the rest, she could ask from Butcher Zhang.
Since she didn’t have to worry about sales, Lin Xiaoyue was not worried. She couldn’t wait to earn more money.
“Miss, you need space to run a pig and chicken farm. In terms of manpower… there are only a dozen people in the manor, and they probably couldn’t take care of them all.” Fan Ming said somewhat awkwardly.
Her plan was too bold. It would cost a lot of manpower and resources to carry out, and it might not even succeed.
If the pig and chicken farm failed, he was afraid that Miss would blame him.
In addition, they were servants and did not want to see their master lose money since their lives depended on their master’s.
Zhong Gui and Cao De also looked troubled..
