Chapter 48 Tang Mo in Charge
As the morning light gradually changed color, the coolness unique to the early morning began to fade away. The two people who were watching the little kids catching fish on the ridge of the field left reluctantly. Manager Yang was already waiting with the people from the farm.
"Madam, do you want this fish? My mother said it would be extremely delicious if it was coated with eggs and fried in oil."
The half-grown boy carried half a bucket of finger-sized fish and looked at Xin An eagerly. Xin An smiled and said, "Your name is Ershan, right? I want this fish. Please bring it to the farm and have someone wrap it in egg and fry it at noon. How about I treat you two to eat together?"
The eyes of several kids lit up, especially the one called Ershan. He had actually never eaten it before. How could farmers wrap it in egg and fry it in oil? Even his mother told him about it after seeing rich families doing so. He dared to say so because he saw that this pretty young lady was so kind, hoping to get some benefits for his younger brothers.
He put down the bucket in his hand, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Thank you for the reward, Madam."
After he knelt down, he did not forget to ask his younger brothers to kneel down as well. The half-grown children knelt on the ground for a bite of food. Xin An smiled and asked them to get up. "I think it's still early, why don't you continue to catch some and fry more."
A group of dogs came from a distance. Xin An looked up and saw that they were the group from yesterday evening. Ershan stood up and said, "I will take the young master and the young lady back. These dogs don't bite people randomly."
Tang Mo raised his eyebrows, "You are quite perceptive, kid."
Ershan smiled naively and told his younger brothers to hurry up and catch fish. He escorted the two men back to the farm barefoot. On the way, he answered whatever Tang Mo asked. Xin An then realized that they were not tenants. There were only 60 acres of land in the farm and there were no tenants. These people all had some relationship with the people in Prince Jin's Mansion. They were not implicated by the incident in Prince Jin's Mansion and were still working here.
"Did Prince Jin come here often in the past?"
"I come here every year when the jasmine flowers bloom, and stay for half a month each time."
Ershan looked to be about thirteen or fourteen years old, and he knew a lot about the things on the farm. Tang Mo became more and more determined, thinking that the jasmine flowers on the farm were indeed in full bloom.
When they reached the gate, Ershan did not go in. He bowed to Manager Yang and turned around and ran away. Manager Yang came forward and invited Tang Mo in. "Our farm is not very big, with only 60 acres of land. There are three farm managers, who are in charge of paddy fields, dry fields, vegetable fields, and fruits. They are all old people who have been in the farm for many years."
"When Prince Jin was here, the food and vegetables produced by this farm were all supplied to the prince. Later, when the prince got into trouble, the farm's produce was sent to the palace. The palace didn't want the fruits and vegetables, so they picked some and sold them, and saved them for the monthly allowance."
What Manager Yang didn't say was that ever since Prince Jin got into trouble, the people at Zhuangzi's house had stopped receiving their monthly allowances, and the palace didn't care, so they could only find a way out on their own. So as soon as Zhuangzi arrived at the Marquis' Mansion, he went there in person, mainly to continue receiving the monthly allowances.
At this moment, there were more than a dozen people standing in the yard, both men and women. Manager Yang introduced Tang Mo to these people and made it clear that Tang Mo would be the master of this manor in the future.
These people knelt down and kowtowed. Tang Mo asked them to stand up, but he did not sit on the prepared armchair. He only said that although the manor was not far from the capital, it was not close either. In the future, when seasonal fruits and vegetables came, they could just send some to the mansion, but there was no need to send them all the time.
"I have seen the list. You are also the elders of the manor. Since the former Prince Jin trusted you, there is no reason for me not to trust you. You can continue to do what you did before. However, this manor is not big and there are only a few of you. I don't want to see any bullying of men and women. Once I find out, I will not show mercy."
Everyone hurriedly agreed to his words. What Tang Mo didn't know was that King Jin was originally strict with his subordinates. There was a manager in the farm who withheld everyone's wages before, and when he was discovered by King Jin, he was beaten half to death and kicked out. The few families in the farm were all people who knew each other well and got along quite harmoniously.
Tang Mo added, "I noticed that there are fewer fruit trees in the farm, so I plan to pick a place here to build a good one, so that friends can gather together in the future. You should come up with a plan as soon as possible in the next two days. In addition, the young lady likes the jasmine here, so you must take good care of it and plant more. The gardener should pay more attention."
The gardener is now in charge of growing vegetables. When he learned that his skills could be used in a valuable way, he immediately agreed with a smile.
Everyone was happy to see that Tang Mo was easy to get along with. Servants feared that all the rules would change with a new master. Moreover, the former Prince Jin's Mansion treated them well. Although they had suffered a disaster, they still cared about them, especially Jasmine, whom the former princess loved the most. Princess Jin was also very kind and treated the people below well. Being able to keep Jasmine also fulfilled their wish.
They were even more excited when they saw the servant coming out with a tray. They had been waiting for the new master to give them rewards for a long time. Tang Mo smiled and said a few words of affirmation to everyone, and then announced that everyone in the entire farm would receive a reward. The manager would get two taels of silver each, and the men, women, young and old who worked in the farm would get one hundred taels of silver each, including newborn babies. Everyone was immediately beaming with joy.
After everyone left, Tang Mo kept Manager Yang. He was the manager of the manor, and he would be needed to handle many things in the future. Tang Mo was not stingy and directly rewarded him with five taels of silver. "You have managed this manor well. You should be more careful in the future. You don't need to send grain to the manor this year. I have other arrangements."
"I may bring people here occasionally in the future. As I just said, the garden needs to be well-maintained. It needs to be fresh and interesting to keep people coming."
Manager Yang took the money with a smile, saying that although the farm is not big, it has a beautiful view. The water used is also flowing down from the nearby mountain, and there are mountain delicacies to entertain guests. There is also a lotus pond in the farm. "It has been around for a few years, and the lotus roots are also good. The garden will be chosen beside the lotus pond. When the time comes, there will be flowers and fruits, and you can go fishing. It would be nice to build some pavilions. There are chickens and ducks across the lotus pond, and picking eggs is also a pleasure. The old lady and the lady picked a few this morning."
"Then I'll raise some rabbits. Rabbits are good-looking, and their manure can also be used to nourish the soil..."
Manager Yang already had a series of ideas in his mind. In his eyes, those young masters had seen all kinds of good things, so when they came here, they naturally wanted to see something different. Take the jasmine for example. The Prince Jin’s Mansion had planted a lot of it in the past, and it was all raised at a high price. Didn’t the Princess of Prince Jin come here every year to see it? They were all jasmine, but the one grown in the farm was different.
Tang Mo felt that the money was not wasted, "I'll leave this matter to you, go and do it."
"By the way, there is a boy named Ershan here today. I think he is quite smart. I will let him run errands with me for the next two days."
You can't always go to the manager when something happens. Besides, the manager is smooth and not as easy to fool as the young boy.
