As we entered the fertile fields, the view immediately became empty. Many farmhands were scattered on the ground, apparently picking up things and checking how the wheat they had planted was growing.
There is a mountain on the right side of the fertile field, and there is a wall between the fertile field and the mountain. Looking at the mountain covered with a layer of leaves that have rotted on the mountain, Ke Xin shook her head slightly. These rotten things are actually waste.
She turned sideways and looked at Shui Yihao: "Manager Shui, is there anyone who owns this mountain?"
"Yes!" Shui Yihao answered proudly, pointing towards the mountain: "All the mountains in this area have been bought by the master."
Ke Xin and Liu Feiyang had a lot of question marks on their heads!
What’s going on? Not only did Dad buy so many farms, but he also bought a mountain?
"There were always wild animals coming down from this mountain to destroy the fertile fields. We would set traps nearby, but they would always accidentally injure the nearby hunters, and then they would come to us to demand compensation. It was so annoying that the master finally bought this piece of the mountain."
"We've built a high wall here, and we've filled the mountain with traps and snares. Occasionally, hunters get caught in them, but since people learned we bought the mountain, few have come here."
Liu Feiyang frowned: "Are there any wild beasts?"
Shui Yihao was amused when talking about this: "Ever since we set the traps, we've been able to eat wild game every now and then. But later on, the wild animals got smarter and rarely came back. They all ran away to other places. Especially since last year, the traps on the mountain haven't caught anything!"
Now that the wild beasts have run away, hunters will naturally not come to this mountain again.
While talking, Ke Xin went to the field to check on the wheat. It was growing well, but it was a pity.
"Water manager, is there any spring water or something like that on this mountain?"
Shui Yimao shook his head: "There is a stream on this mountain that flows all year round. We have seen this stream and it runs across our mountain. But we really don't know where the source of the stream is."
After listening to this, Ke Xin sighed slightly. It seems that it is not so easy to divert the stream down. What if the water downstream is cut off? Where will those animals drink water?
After the two of them wandered around Wuji Villa, Ke Xin got to know the villa a little better, so she left with Liu Feiyang.
"Go to Ruyi Villa!"
The water steward escorted the two out of the villa and stood at the door watching the carriage go away. He only said these few words from beginning to end. The young lady did not say what to do next.
He was a little unsure what the young lady was going to do, and he didn't know what would happen in the future!
In the carriage, Liu Feiyang and Ke Xin arrived at Ruyi Villa without having time to discuss anything. Compared with Wuji Villa, Ruyi Villa was easier to find.
Wuji Villa is on the left side of the official road. It takes about a cup of tea to get there by horse-drawn carriage. Ruyi Villa is on the right side of the official road. The gate of the villa is only about a hundred meters away from the official road. There is a huge plaque with four big characters "Ruyi Villa" written on it.
After Xiaowu parked the carriage, he went to knock on the gate. At that time, Liu Feiyang directly got out of the carriage carrying someone.
Manager Le, who had received the message a day in advance, hurried to open the door when he heard the knock: "I'm coming!"
Creak, the door opened.
Le Wanqing saw a young couple coming. Although he had never seen the young master before, his eyebrows were 70% similar to the old master.
"I, Le Wanqing, pay my respects to the Young Master and Young Madam!"
Liu Feiyang raised his eyebrows: "I have never seen you before, how do you know it's me?"
"The young master looks exactly like the old master, so I naturally wouldn't mistake him. Besides, the old master already sent someone to say hello yesterday, saying that the young master and the young mistress would be returning today!"
Look, what he said makes sense and he gave Kexin a look and let her think about it herself!
Ke Xin rolled her eyes at him. It was such a simple truth that even a toe could figure it out. Ha~
With Le Wanqing's introduction, Ke Xin also had a general understanding. The farms here are basically the same, but there are still quite a lot of long-term workers here, reaching as many as two hundred, and there are also several people doing odd jobs and cooks.
Listening to Le Wanqing's introduction, Ke Xin felt a little headache. How could she remember so much in one day? So she asked Le Wanqing to write a list of long-term workers and a list of people doing the work, which was the same as the list format of Wuji Villa.
Ke Xin raised her hand, interrupting Wan Qing's endless chatter, and said, "Take me to the geography department, let me take a look!"
One thousand acres of land is not a small amount, so she needs to be cautious.
Le Wanqing couldn't figure out the young lady's temper, so he immediately took her to the field at the back. The field was so endless that he could only vaguely see the growth of wheat in the field.
She squatted down, grabbed a handful of soil on the ground, twisted it, and pinched it. After observing it carefully, a slight smile appeared on her solemn face.
"Fortunately, otherwise I would still feel bad after getting rid of these dealers!"
eradicate?
Le Wanqing couldn't believe what he heard. These 1,000 acres of wheat were growing so well, why did they have to dig them up? This was all food!
"Young Madam...what do you mean by eradicate?"
At this time, there was no smile on Le Wanqing's face. Instead, he looked at Jiang Kexin with a heavy face.
She straightened up, met Le Wanqing's eyes, and said calmly, "Just shovel out all the wheat. To be precise, we won't be growing crops on this land this year. Do you understand?"
Le Wanqing's head was buzzing at the time, and he was very confused: "Why? Why would you just throw away the food we worked so hard to grow?"
"Because I want to grow peppers and vegetables, I won't grow food!"
Peppers? Vegetables?
"I... we worked so hard to grow food, why are you just throwing it away? Besides, there's a vegetable patch in the backyard, so you can plant whatever you want. Why would you want to destroy the crops?"
"Besides, if we don't plant crops in the fields but grow vegetables...then the farmhands won't even be able to afford food!"
Liu Feiyang looked at Le Wanqing, very dissatisfied: "Why are you talking to the young lady? Why can't we grow vegetables in the farmland?"
"Don't even think about growing vegetables. Even if the Liu family leaves us empty, we can still support you! No one is allowed to question what the young lady says. This farm will belong to the young lady from now on. Whatever she says is fine."
Le Wanqing saw that the young master was angry and warned himself that even if he was not satisfied now, he still had to listen to the boss. Now the manor belonged to the young lady, so whatever the young lady said would happen!
He lowered his head respectfully: "Yes, Master. I will remember this and will never question the Young Madam's words!"
Jiang Kexin glanced at the reluctant Le Wanqing and did not explain why these dealers were eliminated.
After visiting two of the four villages, there were still two left. Ke Xin saw that it was getting late. If she went back home now, she would have to make another trip in the afternoon. Instead of running back and forth, it would be better to finish it all in one go.
