Chapter 351: Recruitment

As soon as Mrs. Hou finished speaking, Butler Zhou immediately raised his head and looked at her in disbelief.

Although this farm is Mrs. Hou's dowry, they have always been in charge of it. From a selfish point of view, it is no different from their own.

You can imagine how you feel when you suddenly learn that this new family is going to take away their jurisdiction.

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

"Madam, you are wise! The villain was just confused for a moment, so he did bad things. However, the villain's contribution to the farm is obvious. I will be more careful in the future. Madam, please trust the villain again."

His wife was too arrogant and did not dare to express her arrogance. Facing the majestic He and his wife, she just knelt and kowtowed with her husband beside her.

"Cuixiang."

One can imagine how Madam Hou felt when faced with such a beggar butler Zhou.

She frowned and looked at the close-fitting girl beside her impatiently.

He didn't even want to talk to Butler Zhou directly.

A person who can act as a first-class maid next to Madam Hou certainly has some abilities. Cuixiang responded loudly, then went forward and called a few people to come in and escort Housekeeper Zhou into the courtyard.

The guards of the Hou Mansion are all tall and powerful. Facing so many strong men, one can imagine how scared Butler Zhou, who is lame, is.

He quickly begged for mercy, but Mrs. Hou didn't blink an eye, and even asked someone else to close the door in disgust.

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

While several people were talking inside, there was a constant stream of screams from the housekeeper outside. When they had almost finished speaking, the people below also handed the keys to the farm to Ji Liangqing.

"In view of the fact that they have dedicated so many years to the farm, these people will not be kicked out yet. They have done their best in the farm. If they have any disobedience, they can just drive them out."

Mrs. Hou watched Ji Liangqing put the key in his arms and said calmly.

These words were not only meant for Ji Liangqing, but also for the servants around him.

There were not only Mrs. Hou's servants in the room, but also some people from the farm.

These words will surely reach Butler Zhou's ears. When the time comes, Butler Zhou will have to think carefully whether he still dares to ignore Mrs. Hou's words and Ji Liangqing's words.

She could have driven Housekeeper Zhou and his entourage directly out of the farm, but Mrs. Hou is such a smart woman. Housekeeper Zhou and his entourage have stayed at the farm for so long, so one can imagine how deeply they have taken root.

With them here, as long as he is wary of his own power, Ji Liangqing will be able to manage the entire farm with twice the result with half the effort, and he will be able to take over faster.

Mrs. Hou is always a person who thinks about profit. It is impossible to give up the farm for charity, or to let the Ji family get to know it slowly. This would waste too much time.

Ji Liangqing nodded, and looked at each other with Mrs. Ji. They both changed their views on Mrs. Hou, who usually seemed kind.

The housekeeper's wife of a high-ranking family is indeed extraordinary. To outsiders, she may appear to be a delicate and beautiful woman, but in fact she has first-class skills and intelligence, and can fully grasp people's hearts.

This relaxed and measured approach was remarkable, and Ji Liangqing took this commission even more seriously.

Fortunately, Mrs. Hou was relatively at ease with their family. After delivering the key to him, she asked the familiar servants around to inform him of the surrounding situation, allowing him to develop freely without being restricted by these people in the house.

This means that there is no need to be constrained by the fact that people from the Marquis' residence live in the farm.

They will be leaving soon anyway, but Ji Liangqing and the others will stay here to tidy up the farm and develop it into a farmstead.

If the scale is very good, the emperor will stay here for at least another month. If the emperor can come here to play, the reputation will be even better.

If the emperor comes to this farm and is satisfied with his time, the reward for the Hou Mansion will be greatly increased, and Ji Miaomiao will also be found here.

After the emperor leaves, those dignitaries will naturally come here to visit him, and the threshold of their farms will also increase.

At that time, it will also be a good income for the Hou family. Although Mrs. Hou’s dowry is large, who would think that the money is small?

If the income from this farm is considerable, the money earned will not be less than her Rouge Shop in the capital.

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

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

The status of tenant farmers is humble. Because they do not have land, they need to live in a farm for a long time.

In this way, if the farm needs to recruit people, they can rush there as soon as possible.

So even though this farm had not recruited many tenants under the management of Butler Zhou, there were still many tenants living around it.

So after Ji Liangqing considered that he must recruit more tenant farmers, he took his family around and found a lot.

These tenant farmers were extremely industrious and cultivated some wasteland of their own in the surrounding areas, but the wasteland remained wasteland and the harvest from their crops was very little.

The house they lived in was just a straw house, but Ji Liangqing noticed that where this group of people gathered there was a pretty good house built with some big trees.

The trunks of these big trees are very thick, which also makes this family's house look much more majestic than the surrounding houses, similar to the large blue-brick houses among the earth-tile houses in the village.

"What's going on with this family?"

Ji Liangqing and the others certainly didn't come out blindly this time, and they were accompanied by an aunt from a farm.

This aunt was not from Housekeeper Zhou, but was hired to manage the poultry in the farm. Because she knew the surroundings better, Ji Liangqing and the others asked her to follow them, and they asked her if they encountered something they didn't understand.

"This magnificent house was built by the Dagen family who is in charge of the tenant farmers. His name is Su Dagen. He has a lot of strength, and he is down-to-earth and hard-working. The people around him are very good. He was invited to the farm before.

Him, but because Butler Zhou didn't like him, he finally fired him."

Since Su Dagen is hard-working, down-to-earth and very popular, why is he not liked by others?

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

"Then did he end up going to other farms?"

"I haven't heard of that. Isn't the nearest farm around here our farm? He may have gone to do some odd jobs elsewhere. He also reclaimed a lot of wasteland here."

The aunt shook her head and emphasized:
