She needed to hire workers anyway. She would hire a few more people to grind chili powder. They could at least earn some money from this.
“This is just chili. We also have sweet potatoes.”
“After the sweet potatoes are harvested, in addition to feeding pigs and chickens, they can also be used to make sweet potato powder and vermicelli. These have value.”
Sweet potato powder could make meat tender.
She believed that Liang Yu would definitely be interested.
The three men were amazed. Their young miss really had a lot of ideas.
Lin Xiaoyue waited for a while, but she didn’t see any objections from the three.
Only then did she speak again.
“4,000 taels of silver is a test for you. If it was completed, you will be ranked based on how well you did. At the end of the year, everyone in the manor would be rewarded. In addition, if you do a particularly good job, I’ll consider other rewards.”
The three of them were tempted.
Other rewards?
The young lady did not only have these three manors in her hands. She also had a shop in town and a workshop.
She had a big business as she cooperated with the Ruyi Restaurant and Third Master Zhou.
It was good to be a head in the manor, but who wouldn’t want to go further?
She was not an ordinary person. Her business would only grow bigger in the future.
Wouldn’t it be more interesting if they could work for her than to be a head in a manor?
Thinking of this, the three men were tempted.
The young miss did not set any restrictions and gave them the money to use freely.
Not many masters had this kind of boldness.
They had been given power and money. In the end, how much they could achieve depended on themselves.
At this moment, Zhong Gui and Cao De were thinking about more things.
Previously, they thought that the young miss treated Fan Ming differently, but now, they realized that this was not the case.
According to her, the budget for each of the manors was 2,000 taels of silver. It sounded like everyone had the same capital.
However, the number of people in the manor, and the land in the manors were different.
Even though Old Master Zhou and Third Master Zhou had helped to gather some land, it still did not change the fact that the Zhou family had the least land.
In other words, in this competition, Fan Ming’s capital was actually lower than theirs.
And the young miss did not seem to have the intention of giving an advantage to Fan Ming.
Fan Ming felt a bit bitter.
He thought that she came to the Zhou Manor first because she favored him.
Now, it seemed that he thought too much.
However, even so, he could not have any objections.
If he said it, wouldn’t he be looked down upon by her?
If he had less land than others, then so be it.
There were many things that could be done with 2,000 taels of silver.
He would think of a way to find a way to make up for it elsewhere.
Lin Xiaoyue was very satisfied with their reactions.
Then, the topic changed.
“But if you can’t complete it…” She looked at the three of them again.
The atmosphere suddenly changed, and the fire in their hearts quickly subsided. Their bodies even tensed up.
“There should be rewards and punishments for everything. If you can’t accomplish your goal, it means that your abilities are limited.” Lin Xiaoyue picked up her tea and took a sip.
“Then you’re no longer suitable for the position. Instead, you should give up this position to someone more capable.”
The expressions of the three men changed drastically.
She wanted to remove them from their posts?
However, it only took a moment for the three of them to calm down.
They were just servants. If she really wanted to dismiss them, she could have just said so. Why did she have to make it so complicated?
Moreover, she even took out 6,000 taels of silver just for that.
The matter was very simple. She wanted to test them.
To see what their abilities were like.
If they were really capable, she would put them in an important position.
If it was just a show, she would definitely not tolerate it.
Thinking of this, the three of them made a decision.
“It is only reasonable that there are rewards and punishments in everything. I will definitely do my best and not disappoint you.” Fan Ming was the first to stand up, and he cupped his fists towards Lin Xiaoyue.
Seeing this, Zhong Gui and Cao De quickly stood up.
“We will definitely do our best and not disappoint Miss!”
Fan Ming was not ordinary.
He clearly knew that he was at a disadvantage, yet he still took the initiative to express his stance to the young miss. He gave a good impression.
Sure enough, Lin Xiaoyue looked at Fan Ming with a smile in her eyes.
“Alright, next, let’s talk about hiring workers.” She had yet to give any suggestions regarding the management of the personnel.
Therefore, Lin Xiaoyue explained to them what she knew about management in the 21st century market.
After that, she gave some suggestions about the pig and chicken farm.
The conversation actually lasted for an hour and a half.
The three heads were aware of their responsibilities and listened very seriously. From time to time, they would consult and discuss with Lin Xiaoyue.
That was why they chatted for so long..
