Chapter 1229: Kindness and Power
Qiao Xuan smiled and watched for a moment, motioning for everyone to be quiet, and then said, "Okay, there's nothing else to do, everyone go back and do what you need to do. Just remember, from now on I am your master, and this mulberry garden has nothing to do with the Zheng family or the Zhao family anymore."
"Then again, if anyone is reluctant to leave their old master, just leave. I won't stop you. If you are a tenant, make a clear handover. If you are a farmer, let your old master redeem you at the original price. I will not make things difficult for you."
"But if you want to stay, you must remember who your master is! If I find out that someone is betraying their master and has ulterior motives, I will never let him off easily! In my place, those who betray their master have no chance to reform! This is a road of no return, and I hope all of you will take care of yourselves!"
"Okay, let's all go!"
Regardless of whether they had ulterior motives or not, everyone was stunned by Qiao Xuan's words. They retreated respectfully and dared not make any noise like before.
This master has a bad temper and is not easy to deal with, so it is better to be honest.
After all, as long as you can still work, your salary will not only remain the same but you will also receive extra benefits every year, which is simply a pleasant surprise.
No one is stupid, who doesn't know how to do the math?
How much more stuff and money would a family of five earn in a year? Who would be willing to leave with such a treatment?
After pacifying the farmers and tenants, Qiao Xuan wanted to meet the managers.
She ordered the stewards to be taken to the side rooms to sit down and rest, and wait patiently, as she wanted to meet them one by one.
The first person to meet was naturally Manager Zheng.
Uncle Qing was also accompanying them.
Although Qiao Xuan has the land deed in her hand, a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake.
Zhao Mu had already regarded these 100,000 acres of mulberry garden as his own. Now that I have caught him off guard, there is no way he will let it go.
There will definitely be some despicable and dirty means involved.
After all, this is Yangzhou, his home turf, and she is just a "Mrs. Shao" from another place who came from nowhere!
If Zhao Mu just admitted it without saying a word, he would be laughed to death by the people in Yangzhou City. He couldn't afford to lose face!
Moreover, this is a turnover of millions a year! After deducting all costs, it can earn at least 700,000 taels a year.
With such a huge fortune, who would be willing to just give it up?
However, if he dares to touch Qiao Xuan, haha, Qiao Xuan will make him even more embarrassed!
It is said that the people should not fight against the officials. No matter how powerful Zhao Mu is, he is still a commoner, a citizen of Yangzhou City. Shao Yunduan is an official in the capital, a favorite of the prince! If Zhao Mu fights him without knowing the truth, he will die.
But for an area as large as one hundred thousand mu of mulberry garden, all precautions must be taken. Qiao Xuan was afraid that Zhao Mu would get angry and fight to the death. It would be bad if he tried to destroy the mulberry garden.
Butler Zheng was discussing with them, feeling relaxed and smiling happily.
He is really happy!
Sweep away the previous gloom and worry.
As expected, good people are rewarded. The lady is kind-hearted, and the Zheng family has never done anything evil. In the end, the ancestors blessed the third young master, allowing him to turn danger into safety and see the light at the end of the tunnel!
After getting to know Mr. and Mrs. Shao, this ancestral property was finally saved.
When Qiao Xuan met about half of the managers one by one, Zhao Mu, Zhao Zhai, and Zhao Ye, father and son, finally arrived angrily.
The formation was quite large, with thirty servants.
