After the mother and daughter drove all the way out of the royal court, they went straight to the West City Gate.

The old Marquis Latour's manor is actually not far from the manor that Luna bought, and it is also near the hunting ground.

However, because it is a certain distance from the hunting ground designated by the royal family, compared to Luna, who can only buy arable land at the foot of the mountain, the estate of the old Marquis Latour occupies a hill.

This hill is a branch of the small mountain range where the hunting ground is, and it is not too high, but at the foot of the mountain there is a hot spring spring.

Because Luna has never seen a volcano in the books she has read, but this hot spring exists in reality, so this time Luna fooled her mother to come with her, one is to see this hot spring, and the other is another one, and Luna also wants to go to her manor by the way.

Looking at Luna, who was in a good mood, kept looking out of the car window and opened her mouth from time to time, Olivia raised her hand and nudged her daughter's shoulder and asked, "Satisfied?"

Luna was stunned for a moment when she heard this, but then she realized that she didn't kidnap her mother, took revenge on her father, and was punctured, but she just turned around and threw herself into Olivia's arms, hugged her and said seriously:

"Father doesn't have time to accompany you, won't I be allowed to kidnap you?"

"Don't look at your father's usual sitting in the study, but haven't you felt his hard work these days?" said Olivia, stroking Luna's little face helplessly.

Luna rubbed Olivia's palm on the occasion and said with some confidence:

"Of course I know that my father is hard, but my mother is also very hard!

The daily food and clothing in the royal court, isn't all this in the hands of the mother?

It can't be said that my father is worried about the whole country, you only worry about the royal court and our brothers and sisters, so you don't have as much work as him, right?

He's got a bunch of ministers to help out!

You're the only one of them, Sophie.

In my opinion, you are working harder than your father. ”

"You!"

Olivia pinched the tip of Luna's nose with a bit of a smile and a sigh,

"I don't know if you can take care of yourself if you can take care of yourself......

The corners of Luna's mouth twitched slightly when she heard this, in fact, in her opinion, abducting her mother really didn't have any special effect other than allowing her father to stay alone in the empty room.

After all, there are so many servants in the castle, and without my mother watching, can I still pick a child?

"Mother, if you think about how happy your grandparents are to see you, don't worry about your father and Jack, they can't be hungry or frozen, don't worry about it?"

Luna arched into Olivia's arms coquettishly, she really couldn't look at this married woman, and she was worried about this old mother psychology when she came out to play.

"Okay, okay, I don't think about them, I don't think about you, okay? I haven't said you yet! It's been two days since I came out, and I'll give you a leave of absence from school, but it's only tomorrow, and we won't be able to go back the day after tomorrow, right?" Olivia looked at her daughter, her eyes shining.

"Uh...... Hehehe......"

Luna was honest now, silently crawled away a little, and then pulled out a book from the salute she carried, hung her head, read the book, and pretended.

Seeing this, Olivia shook her head, but she didn't say any more, she was more comfortable with Luna's studies, as for the rest......

Well, listen to my daughter, I don't want to go out to play.

As the cart heads west, passing by the manor that Luna has purchased, the mother and daughter get out of the cart and walk around on foot.

Compared to the last time Luna arrived, the original Langdon Manor was deserted, and there were far fewer tenants working in the fields.

And the manor purchased by Luna is obviously showing a trend of eliminating the advantages of the other.

In the originally barren fields, there have been sporadic orc figures, overgrown roads, although it is because of the relationship of early spring, there is no more, but the new soil on the road is still very conspicuous.

"Is there already land to be leased out?"

Looking at the sporadic tenants working on the land of her daughter's manor, although it is really not worth mentioning compared to the well-developed manor, but thinking of the reputation of this manor in the past, Olivia is still a little surprised.

"Because the land was abandoned for a period of time, I exempted the ordinary tenants from the rent for one year, and the rent of the small landlords was halved. Luna explained.

The reason why she was able to do this was also because she was a princess, and the whole country belonged to her father, and she didn't need to worry about the land tax at all, just the poll tax on the tenants on the land.

If they were ordinary manor owners, there would not be much to do so, and the land tax alone, after the exemption of land rent, would be enough for them to tighten their belts for a year.

"It's a good idea. But if you want this manor to make a surplus, I'm afraid it will take at least five years.

Also, you have to let people think carefully about the tenants you attract.

If the picture is small and cheap, it is not necessarily bad, and it may also have practical difficulties, but the problem cannot be ignored. ”

Olivia nodded and reminded.

"Mother, don't worry, I've already told you this. As for the surplus, I don't count on it, as long as the income is flat and not the loss is achieved. ”

Even though agriculture was still the foundation of the economy during this period, Luna never thought of making money by vigorously developing agriculture.

Maybe in two years, she will consider finding some people, relying on the knowledge accumulated in her previous life, to use the manor's self-reserved land to study how to increase production, but for now, she only wants to make ends meet, so that she will not let herself fill in the manor every year.

Although she didn't care about her reputation among the aristocracy, she didn't want to be infamous as a tenant who exploited her.

It's one thing to compete for profit with people of the same class, but it's another thing to squeeze people at the bottom.

"That's good. Olivia was actually quite surprised by Luna's generous statement, but she also agreed, she was actually quite afraid that Luna would make some trouble in order to make her first real business profitable as soon as possible.

After all, sometimes, the will of the main family is one thing, but the way the people below do things is another.

Just as the mother and daughter were walking around and chatting, and from time to time Olivia pointed out Luna's lack of management of the manor based on her own experience, a noise suddenly came from the distance.

"What's going on?" Olivia frowned as she looked at the figures scuffling in the distance.

Luna looked at the people in the distance, the corners of her lips were almost undetectable, this time she came out, she left Leah in the castle, just thinking that a similar situation might occur, it seems, it really let her touch, "Kent, you go over and have a look!"

Because it was the queen's trip, Kent came out this time, and he was also wearing armor, and at this time he received the order, and his feet knocked lightly, and the armor collided and made a sound, and the momentum was suddenly revealed.

"Yes, Your Highness. ”
