As soon as Mrs. Hou's words fell, Steward Zhou instantly raised his head and looked at her in disbelief.

Although this grange is Mrs. Hou's dowry, it has always been in the hands of these people, and in their selfish intentions, this is no different from their own family.

Suddenly learning that the new family is going to take away their jurisdiction, you can imagine the mood.

The butler didn't even care that he had just made a huge mistake, and began to kowtow and beg for mercy:

"Madame Mingjian! The villain was just confused for a while, so he did bad things, but the villain's contribution to the grange is obvious, and the villain must be careful in the future. Please also ask Madame to believe in the villain one more time. ”

His daughter-in-law didn't dare to come out, and in the face of the majestic Mrs. He, she just knelt and kowtowed with her husband next to her.

"Emerald Fragrance."

Facing such a begging housekeeper Zhou, Mrs. Hou's mood can be imagined.

She frowned and looked impatiently at the big girl on the side.

This is not even willing to say anything directly to Steward Zhou.

The person who can be a first-class big girl next to Mrs. Hou has his own ability, Cuixiang responded loudly, and then stepped forward and called a few people to come in and escort Steward Zhou to the courtyard.

The guards of the Hou Mansion are all tall and mighty, and in the face of so many strong men, the lame Steward Zhou can imagine how scared he is.

He hurriedly begged for mercy, but Mrs. Hou didn't blink her eyes, and even asked the other person to close the door in disgust.

Then he explained something to Ji Liangqing and Mrs. Ji.

When a few people were talking inside, the screams of the housekeeper outside were endless, and when they were almost talking, the people below also held the key in the grange and handed it to Ji Liangqing.

"For the sake of their dedication to the Grange for so many years, these people will not be driven out first, and they will be credited in the Grange, if there is any disobedience, just drive them out."

Mrs. Hou watched Ji Liangqing put the key into her arms and said lightly.

This is not only for Ji Liangqing, but also for the people around him.

There were not only Madame Hou's subordinates in the room, but also some people from the grange.

These words must also reach the ears of Steward Zhou, and when the time comes, whether Steward Zhou still dares to ignore Mrs. Hou's words and Ji Liangqing's words, he needs to weigh it.

She could have directly driven Steward Zhou and his party out of the Grange, but Mrs. Hou is such a smart woman, Steward Zhou and his party have been in the Grange for so long, you can imagine how deeply rooted they are.

With them here, as long as he is afraid of his own power, he will inevitably let Ji Liangqing manage the entire Grange with half the effort, and he will be able to take over faster when the time comes.

Mrs. Hou has always been a person who thinks about profits, and it is impossible to give up this grange to charity, or let the Ji family slowly get acquainted, so it would be too much time to waste.

Ji Liangqing nodded, glanced at Mrs. Ji, and changed her view of Mrs. Hou, who usually looked kind.

The housekeeper's wife of the high gate is really not ordinary, outsiders look soft and weak and a beautiful woman, but in fact, her wrists and mind are first-class, and she can fully grasp people's hearts.

This kind of relaxed approach is very remarkable, and Ji Liangqing treats this commission more seriously.

Fortunately, Mrs. Hou was more at ease with their family, and after handing over the key to him, she asked the familiar subordinates around her to inform him of the surrounding situation, so that he could play freely and not have to be restrained by these people in the house.

It means that there is no need to be restrained by the people who come from the Hou Mansion because of the residence in the grange.

They will leave soon anyway, but Ji Liangqing and they will stay here, tidy up this grange, and develop it into a farm grange when the time comes.

If the scale is good, the emperor will stay here for at least a month, and if the emperor can come here to play at that time, then the reputation will be even better.

If the emperor comes to this grange and is satisfied with the play, then the reward for the Hou Mansion will be greatly increased, and he will also find that Ji Miaomiao is also here.

After the emperor is gone, those dignitaries will naturally come to visit, and the threshold of their grange will also increase.

At that time, it will also be a good income for the Hou Mansion, although Mrs. Hou has a lot of dowry, but who would think that there is less silver?

If this grange is profitable, it will not earn less money than her rouge shop in the capital.

Mrs. Hou is a woman with a long-term vision.

Ji Liangqing only rested for one day, and the next day he took his daughter to inspect the surroundings.

Tenant farmers were humble and had to live long periods of time in areas with farms because they had no land.

In this case, if the Grange needs to recruit people, they can rush to it as soon as possible.

So even though there were not many tenant farmers recruited by this grange under the management of Steward Zhou before, there were still a lot of tenant farmers living around.

Therefore, after Ji Liangqing considered that he must expand the number of tenant farmers, he took his family to go around, and he really found a lot.

These tenant farmers were extremely industrious and cultivated some of their own wasteland in the surrounding area, but the wasteland was always wasteland and produced very little grain.

The house they lived in was even just a straw house, but Ji Liangqing noticed that there was a decent house in the place where the group gathered, which was built with some big trees.

The trunks of these trees are very thick, which makes the family's house look much more imposing than the surrounding houses, similar to the large blue brick houses in the village's earthen tile houses.

"What's going on with this family?"

This time, Ji Liangqing and the others came out, of course, they didn't come out blindly, and they were followed by a lady in the grange.

This lady is not a person from Steward Zhou, but she was hired to manage the poultry in the grange, because she knows the surroundings better, so Ji Liangqing and they will let her follow, and ask her if she doesn't understand.

"This magnificent house is repaired by the big root family who is in charge of the tenant farmer, this person's name is Su Dagen, he has a good strength, and he is down-to-earth and hardworking, and the people around him are very good, he was invited to the grange before, but because he didn't like this person Zhou Steward, so he was finally dismissed."

Since Su Dagen is hardworking, down-to-earth and hardworking, and has a good popularity, why is he not liked?

Thinking of Steward Zhou's temperament and his crippled body, Ji Liangqing guessed that it might be jealousy.

"Did he end up going to any other Grange?"

"I haven't heard of this, isn't the nearest Grange our Grange? He might have gone to do odd jobs elsewhere, and he had cultivated a lot of the wasteland here. ”

The eldest lady shook her head and emphasized:

"He can't be too far away from home, except for this grange, the next grange is far away from us, and he has a sick old lady at home, and he can't leave anyone."
