Reborn as a Merchant Girl, the General's Beloved

After a while, the man with a goatee came in from outside, followed by seventeen or eighteen people. The managers from all places were all there, standing in a crowd in the yard. Chunyue was a little scared and hid behind them.

Goat Beard suffered a setback here yesterday, and when he heard that Jinyun was backing her up, he knew that his wishful thinking had been completely shattered by her. He was feeling ashamed and angry, and was drinking and complaining with a few stewards who were on good terms with him. Unexpectedly, Chunyue came running in and said that Anan had ordered him to call all the stewards. Not knowing what Anan was up to, they all looked at each other in confusion.

The man with the goatee felt that she had been acting arrogantly since she took over the management of the farm, and now he just wanted to eat her alive on the spot.

Anan ignored everyone's expressions and asked loudly, "Who is Qin Jun?"

A burly middle-aged man came out and bowed respectfully: "Miss, I am you."

"Here is a geomancy map of Zhuangzi. Take a look at it and see if the markings of the four directions are accurate." Anan took out the map from the book and handed it to him.

Qin Jun took it with both hands, glanced at it, and replied very seriously: "Yes."

"From today on, the work of reclaiming the fertile fields on the farm will be handed over to you. Are you willing?" She smiled.

Qin Jun hesitated for a moment and didn't speak. He lowered his head as if in deep thought.

The goatee man took the initiative to step forward and said with a fake smile: "What's going on in our farm is unknown to Miss Nan, who has just arrived, and even Mr. Nie, who has been here for more than half a year. Manager Qin has a legitimate business to run, unlike us, who have tenants to farm the land!"

As he spoke, he winked at Qin Jun.

Anan ignored the goateed man's weird tone and just smiled at Qin Jun, "We shouldn't bother Manager Qin, but there are so few tenants on the farm that even if we work our hands off, we can't support this large farm. Manager Qin has elite soldiers and generals under his command. Now he just needs to spend some time to lead people to reclaim the land, and the subsequent planting and management matters will be handed over to the tenants. It's a win-win for both sides."

Qin Jun moved his body, frowned, and still said nothing.

"Miss Nan!" The goatee took a step forward and sneered, "You are so bold that you don't even know what our Xinyun Manor does, yet you dare to speak so recklessly. You asked Manager Qin to lead people to reclaim the land. If this gets out, how can you save your face!"

"Yongning has a pleasant climate. If we manage the land well, we can have three crops, not to mention two crops a year. They all come from farmers. You all know these things better than me. Our village is prosperous and has so many good farmlands, but we only have white flour cakes and carrot soup to fill our stomachs every day. If this gets out, who will be able to save face?" She finished speaking slowly, and everyone looked at each other and fell silent.

The goat sneered with the corners of his mouth, his face full of sarcasm.

Anan said calmly, "Not to mention that all the high-ranking officials and noble families in the capital all have farms and cultivate land privately. Even the emperor of the current dynasty was born a tenant farmer. I heard that he is still growing crops in the palace. How can it be unrespectable for Manager Qin to lead people to cultivate land?"

"That's a good idea." Qin Jun sighed softly, and then whispered, "But, Miss Nan, no matter how respectable we are, we are all servants. Now that the master is not at home, no one can make the decision on such a big matter."

Although the words may sound harsh, they make sense.

Anan thought this made sense and fell silent.

Goatbeard was very proud. He lowered his head to look at his hands and said in a low voice: "We all admire the girl for her decisiveness and her ideas, but some things are not as simple as you think."
