Madam, this manor looks like the property of Meng Shilang's family, the address of the manor is on the outskirts of the city, the location is very good, it is a tea garden, and it is two hours away from the house. ”

"Oh, Tea Garden, I see." Bai Jinli nodded.

"Madam, ransom the old slave and take the liberty of asking, how did this Zhuangzi of the Meng Shilang family come into your hands?"

"I accidentally rescued Meng Shilang's wife and child, and Meng Shilang thanked me for the gift."

"That's the case, Madame is really unusual." Lao Zhou couldn't help but speak.

"Old Zhou, why are you so clear about these?" Bai Jinli asked him curiously.

"Back to Mrs. Hui. The old slave is a person from the capital, and he likes to inquire about some idle things in the capital, and he just heard about some family affairs about Meng Shilang a few days ago, so he knows a little. ”

"Oh?"

Seeing that Bai Jinli was very interested, Lao Zhou continued.

"In fact, this manor originally belonged to the previous Zhao Shilang, because something happened to Zhao Shilang's family, his house was copied, and these manors outside were also sold by the imperial court.

It was after Meng Shilang took over the shortage of Shilang that he used the reward of His Majesty to buy some land and manors, and it was one of them that was given to you. ”

"How could Your Majesty reward Meng Shilang with something? Moreover, is it reasonable for him to give me the manor he bought with the money he gave him his reward? Bai Jinli asked.

"Madam, Meng Shilang was once the champion of the new department who was personally promoted by His Majesty, and he was very competent during the two years of editing in the Hanlin Academy, and then he was transferred to other provincial cities to serve, and his reputation was also good, and he was recommended by others, so His Majesty transferred him back to the capital and worked under Zhao Shilang.

Now that he is a squire and a member of His Majesty, it is naturally logical for His Majesty to reward him with things. As for changing hands to give it to Mrs., it is naturally reasonable, after all, the manor was bought back by Meng Shilang, and it does not belong to the imperial gift, so there is no need to pay much attention to it. ”

"I see." Bai Jinli nodded.

His Majesty promoted Meng Shilang and gave him a reward, which inexplicably told Meng Shilang that he was favored by the Son of Heaven.

And those who are valued by the Son of Heaven naturally have to show twelve points of sincerity to be the son of today.

In addition, other ministers in the court will also stare at Meng Shilang, or envy or blessing or jealousy.

There's a lot of complexity involved.

But fortunately, she is not half implicated.

"Lao Zhou, you send someone to inquire about the current situation and personnel arrangements of this manor."

"By the way, are there any other vacant land near this manor that can be bought and sold? I also need fifty acres of vacant land. ”

"Yes, ma'am." Lao Zhou nodded, and then retreated.

"Master, do you want to use that manor land?" Qi Duo on the side couldn't help asking.

"Well, I'm going to turn that manor into a garden and grow all kinds of flowers." Bai Jinli spoke.

After the spa shop is opened, there will definitely be a need for a lot of essential oils, aromatherapy and other things.

Although these finished products can be purchased directly in the space for gold, they are quite expensive.

Besides, when her shop opens, it will always attract the attention of others, and if these things do not have a superficial source, they will inevitably arouse the suspicion of others.

So it's better to grow a lot of flowers and use the purification and extraction techniques learned in the space to make a variety of essential oils and other things.

With this premise, she can also take the opportunity to make more perfumes, and then it will definitely be hotter than the spices sold on the market.

She was thinking about buying land recently, and as a result, Meng Shilang gave her a hundred-acre manor.

But when I was really sleepy, someone gave me a pillow to iron.

Of course, the 100-acre estate is not all used to grow flowers, and she also has to set aside a third to plant some fruit trees.

As for the fifty acres of land that Lao Zhou went to explore, she planned to use it to grow medicinal herbs.

It's just that in this case, then new problems arise.

Where will you find so many reliable and trustworthy people to take care of these places?

After all, these places are all in the suburbs, and they are still quite far from her home.

That's it, this issue will be put aside for now, and I'll talk about it when Lao Zhou comes back after inquiring about the news.

Bai Jinli had just finished the matter at hand, when she saw Bai Mo holding the account book and the account book template he had newly made, the account book summary, the business analysis chart of the snack shop, and the performance growth analogy chart and so on.

"Sister-in-law, I've finished sorting out the account books you sent to you, you can check it."

Bai Jinli took them and looked at them.

Well, the data after the white ink collation looks really clear and easy to understand.

Which month is the most profitable, which snack is most popular with the people, which snack sells better in which season, and so on.

Qi Duo and Xiangming, who were standing next to Bai Jinli, were stunned after inadvertently glancing at the ledger.

It turns out that the ledger can still do this?

I have seen it for a long time!

"Bai Mo, you did a good job." After a brief glance, Bai Jinli praised him with great satisfaction.

"Hey, hey." Hearing Bai Jinli praise him, Bai Mo felt a sense of satisfaction after being recognized, and the whole person was very happy.

"By the way, Bai Mo, when are you going to study at the academy?"

"My grandfather said that he would take me out to see my master the day after tomorrow, and then the master would ask me some questions, and if my master was satisfied, I could go to that academy to study."

"Well, you don't have to be nervous, you can answer whatever the Master asks. I'm sure that such a small question will not be difficult for you. ”

"Uh-huh." Bai Mo nodded.

————

After hearing Lao Zhou talk about the news about the tea plantation on the outskirts of the city, Bai Jinli decided to go there in person.

According to the news, the tea garden was originally located in a good geographical location, the growth was gratifying, and the annual profit was also good. But the previous Zhao Shilang had no intention of managing these, and handed over the property to a trusted subordinate to take care of.

As a result, the subordinates filled their own pockets and secretly replaced the more important people in the tea garden with their own people.

Those people are lazy and lazy, and they are powerful, and they don't look good at the tea garden, and they can't stand the accounts on the surface.

Later, the manor was transferred to Meng Shilang, and Meng Shilang gave it to her before he had time to investigate and organize it.

If she wants to make good use of this manor, she must first clean the inside of the manor!

Holding his head and thinking for a while, Bai Jinli soon had a plan.

She instructed the people in the mansion to take her letter to the Meng Mansion and take back the labor contract signed by everyone in the manor.

After looking through those things, Bai Jinli found a problem, some of these people were long-term workers hired by Zhao Shilang in the past and signed a long-term contract.

There are also a small number of subordinates who signed the death deed, and because they made mistakes, they were sent here.

The rest were some casual laborers, slightly better than the others, and if the manor was not busy, they would not have to come over, but at the same time they were not paid.

It turns out that even in the capital, the poor people still exist.

Bai Jinli got up early the next morning.

Bai Yi and Lin Shenyuan hadn't left yet, she handed all the books she had found from the space to Bai Yi, let him read more, and cared about Lin Shenyuan again.

After sending them away, Bai Jinli took the fire and the second fire, and Xiangming and Xiao Chiwang set off to the manor on the outskirts of the capital.

The carriage was driven by a subordinate named Pan Zi in the mansion, except for him, Bai Jinli did not bring other subordinates out of the mansion, and the nursing courtyard or something stayed in the mansion.

The manor in the suburbs was really far from their home, and there was still a long way to go after they got out of the city in a carriage.

Xiangming is a cold-faced person, not like Qi Duo and other maids, who will talk to her if she has nothing to do.

Xiao Chiwang was forcibly pulled out by her, and his little face seemed to be a little unhappy, and he didn't take the initiative to talk to her.

After Bai Jinli opened her mouth to chat with the two of them, she stopped chatting and took out a bag of dried fruits and knocked it up.

The carriage walked for a long time, but it could be regarded as reaching its destination.

After getting out of the carriage, Bai Jinli looked at the house and manor in front of her, revealing a meaningful smile.

This house on the outskirts of the city is a very large house, I heard that the facilities are complete, everything is available, and even the maid and the maid are matched with the next person.

As for the manor, it is very close to this annex, and it is only half a cup of tea.

Bai Jinli glanced at the mansion, first let the fire quietly go over to explore the wind, and she took a few other people to run directly to the manor where the tea was grown.

At this moment, the manor is green, and it looks like a green fortress from a distance, and you can smell a faint fragrance when you walk into it, which is refreshing.

There are many tenant farmers scattered among the tea plantations, and they are all buried in their work at the moment.

Bai Jinli followed the path and walked straight towards the small courtyard in the tea garden, and heard that it was a place for everyone to rest and eat.

"Who are you? What are you doing here? Soon, someone blocked Bai Jinli and the others.

"Who are you? Haven't you heard that this place has changed owners? Unfortunately, I am the owner of this estate. Bai Jinli said lightly.

"What nonsense are you talking about! This manor used to belong to Zhao Shilang's family, but was later bought by Meng Shilang, you woman, you dare to fight the idea of the manor in the hands of the imperial court, it is really bold! ”

"Come on, beat them out for me!"

Looking at the arrogant appearance of the person in front of him, Bai Jinli gave a gesture with one look, and Erhuo immediately stepped forward in understanding, and beat the man to his knees and screamed in three or two strokes.

"Listen, this manor now belongs to me, it was given to me by Meng Shilang himself, I have the title deed and house deed here, which is reasonable and legal. Give you half a pillar of incense, and go and call me the person in charge of the manor. ”

Bai Jinli opened her mouth and commanded.

"Yes, yes, the little ones will go." The man knelt on the ground, secretly raised his eyes and glanced at Bai Jinli, and then crawled away.

Bai Jinli walked slowly to the courtyard of the courtyard and paced up, and Xiang Ming instructed Pan Zi to move out a stool and table, and quickly wiped them clean with a handkerchief.

took out Bai Jinli's own tea and teacup to make tea, and also took the opportunity to put some snacks and desserts she brought on the table on the side.

Bai Jinli gave her an appreciative look, and then sat down.

It seems that although Xiangming is cold-faced, he is still very good at being a person and doing things.

"Madam, what if those people don't want to come?" Erhuo opened his mouth a little worriedly.
