"Tell me, how much does our village's wheat field yield per mu?" a young man with a sickle asked with great interest as he waited by the wheat field.

"That's hard to guess. I've been farming for half my life and I've never seen wheat ears that are so long and so dense."

“I think it’s five shi. In Tongning County, the usual yield per mu is only two to three shi. Here in the mountain village, the wheat is growing almost twice as well as our ordinary wheat, so it’s at most six shi,” an old craftsman with gray hair guessed, stroking his chin.

“I think it’s more than that. The wheat in the manor is much plumper than the wheat we grow ourselves. It’s more than that…” Another villager shook his head in disagreement.

"Hey, what's the point of guessing? We'll harvest it soon, and we'll know once we weigh it."

"Haha, we're just excited." The young man who started speaking scratched his forehead sheepishly.

Everyone else smiled kindly; they were just as excited as they were.

The excitement wasn't limited to those working at the resort; the local residents were equally thrilled.

The night before, they heard from the farmhands that the village was going to harvest wheat that day, and many of them hadn't slept well. As soon as it was barely dawn, they all arrived at the edge of the wheat field with dark circles under their eyes.

When everyone saw that the others looked just as listless as they did, they couldn't help but laugh.

"You guys came to watch the chief start the harvest too?"

"Yes, yes, this is a big day, how can we miss it?"

At this time, many landlords and gentry also heard about this matter, and they disguised themselves and mingled among the people, wanting to find out what was going on.

Suddenly, the wheat fields of Chaoyang Villa were packed with people, even more lively than a market day.

Xiao Yi, who was leading a patrol of soldiers, was extremely worried: "Strategist, what should we do? Should we drive them all away?"

"No problem." Yin Li didn't think there was anything wrong with it; on the contrary, it would increase the people's confidence in the manor: "Just be careful and don't let anyone with ulterior motives cause trouble."

"Okay, I understand." Xiao Yi thought for a moment, then quickly ran back to the barracks and gathered all the soldiers together.

"As you all know, today is the day our village begins harvesting wheat."

“I just went to see. A lot of people from Tongning County came to watch the excitement. Although most of them are ordinary people, there are also some who want to see the boss make a fool of himself, or people with ill intentions.”

"What?! Who's laughing at the boss?!" The soldiers erupted in an uproar.

Although everyone was scolded by Luo Xi until they cried and begged after entering the barracks, they could feel that they had been transformed after this period of training.

No matter how hard they tried, they could never catch up with the leader, who became an object of worship in the hearts of all the soldiers.

There are actually people who want to see the boss make a fool of himself, that's absolutely intolerable.

"General, just tell us, what do you want us to do?"

Seeing their indignant expressions, Xiao Yi nodded in satisfaction: "Not bad, it's no wonder the boss has always been so good to you."

"Everyone, listen up! Go and change into your gear. Get into top form and show them that our manor isn't to be trifled with."

All the soldiers' eyes lit up, and they roared, "Yes, sir!"

Before long, squads of imposing and powerful soldiers appeared near the villa, especially along the wheat fields.

They were dressed in uniform armor, holding gleaming long spears, each with a blank expression, heroic and resolute.

"Wow, these really are bandits. I feel like they're even more imposing than the county yamen runners," a newly arrived resident said in disbelief.

A nearby villager glanced at him sideways: "What do you know? Is our leader just an ordinary bandit?"

"She's someone who can beat all the bandits in Nanyue County until they cry for their parents. She's trained by the chief, so naturally she's formidable. How can she be compared to ordinary outlaws?"

The newly arrived civilians stared at the menacing soldiers and dared not utter a sound.

The landlords and gentry in disguise, who had initially looked down on them, now had a more serious expression in their eyes. It seemed that the originally agreed-upon method would have to be changed.

At this moment, the main character, Rose, finally arrived, dressed in a red short-sleeved outfit that was both vibrant and neat.

She was followed by only a maid, her life was incredibly simple, even the ladies from ordinary wealthy families had more pomp and circumstance than her.

"Oh, looks like I'm the last one to get up." Her first words were a playful, smiling remark, making her very approachable.

The people immediately laughed: "Hehe, we were too impatient."

"Alright, since everyone's in a hurry, I won't waste any more words." Luo Xi took the sickle Zhou Cang handed her, bent down and cut the first bunch of wheat without saying a word.

"Alright, let's start harvesting!" she shouted.

The local gentry looked at each other, somewhat bewildered. This was not what they had imagined; it was far too casual.

The farmhands, who were already familiar with Rosie, took it all in stride. One by one, they picked up their sickles and started working as if in a competition.

"Boss, it looks like today's harvest is bountiful." Yin Li picked up the wheat that Luo Xi had just harvested, peeled off a grain and put it in his hand. It was plump and round, clearly good grain.

"A good harvest is great." Luo Xi looked at the golden wheat field and breathed a sigh of relief: "Now we don't have to worry about sitting around and eating our meager harvest."

"Boss, why don't you go back and rest for a while? I'll call you back after they've finished cutting." Seeing that there was nothing else going on here, Zhou Cang suggested.

Luo Xi shook her head: "No need, with so many people, it should be quick."
