His voice was loud and clear, and it carried the determination to accomplish his mission. Everyone was shocked.
Lin Xiaoyue, on the other hand, looked as if she was already used to it and nodded at Sun Tao in admiration.
“Let’s go. I’ll take you to see Head Fang. Let him help you buy potatoes.” Lin Xiaoyue said to Princess Anyang and Liang Yu.
“Yes.” The two of them nodded.
After leaving the kitchen, Lin Xiaoyue took the two of them to see Head Fang.
Other than that, after arranging for people to bring Princess Anyang and Liang Yu to pick up the goods, Lin Xiaoyue left Head Fang alone and mentioned to him that the manor needed to be watched more carefully.
“Although the Liang Trading Company and the Zhou Trading Company have cooperated with us, we must be on guard.”
“The potato incident is a good example.”
“It’s better that they don’t know much now.”
Lin Xiaoyue looked at Head Fang.
“Next, instruct the others to be vigilant against the people outside, no matter who they are.”
“In the manor, the secrets of the workshop and the crops must not be revealed to outsiders!” Lin Xiaoyue said in a deep voice.
“Especially the secret of the crops. With the strength of the Liang Trading Company and the Zhou Trading Company, they are completely capable of ignoring us and doing things on their own. At that time, what can we do?”
Head Fang nodded solemnly.
“I was negligent in this matter. Don’t worry, Miss. 1’11 get someone to pass on the order.”
“We are all of one heart and will keep the secret.” Head Fang added.
Lin Xiaoyue nodded.
She believed in the loyalty of the Nangong Army.
“Next, get the potatoes that Princess Anyang and Young Master Liang want. If they come to buy potatoes later, you have to make arrangements accordingly.”
“First, reserve the potato seeds that we will use in the next season in advance. Then, store the potatoes that each workshop needs in the next six months. We’ll also deduct the potatoes used for food. The rest would only be sold when there is a surplus.”
When Head Fang heard this, he frowned.
“5 wen per catty is a good price. It is not worth it to leave such a precious thing for us to eat. Why don’t we sell the food for money? With money, wouldn’t we be able to make do with buying other vegetables?
Head Fang had not finished speaking when he was interrupted by Lin Xiao Yue.
“Not at all.”
“When I decided to plant potatoes, other than to increase the number of snacks, the biggest purpose was to solve the food problem.”
“The potatoes are being produced in large quantities and the soldiers like them.”
“What kind of person am I if 1 tell them to give that up just for some money?” Lin Xiaoyue said unhappily.
The main thing was that she was rich now and really did not care about this little bit of money.
Also, the reason why the workshop had been able to achieve such results so quickly was all thanks to the Nangong Army.
She had seen how much the soldiers of the Nangong Army loved potatoes. She could not make them sacrifice themselves for her just to earn more money.
Head Fang was moved.
“Miss is right,” he bowed to Lin Xiaoyue.
At the same time, he once again sighed in his heart that their mistress was a good person.
Seeing this, Lin Xiaoyue’s expression became much better.
“You’re also thinking about the big picture.”
Sighing, Lin Xiaoyue looked at Head Fang.
“Don’t worry, now that the factory is gradually getting on the right track, our days will only get better and better.”
“As I said before, 1 have to pay everyone in the middle of the year. I will do it.”
Head Fang was even more moved.
“Yes, Miss!”
Lin Xiaoyue smiled. “Alright, go ahead.”
With that, she prepared to leave.
However, after taking two steps, Lin Xiaoyue suddenly stopped.
“Oh right, if there aren’t many things to do here, pack up. The day after tomorrow, you can come with us to Qingquan Manor for the summer. You can work there.”
Head Fang was touched, but he quickly restrained himself. He bowed to Lin Xiaoyue again.
“Thank you, Miss. However, I’m not going. There are still many things to do in the manor.”
Lin Xiaoyue nodded.
“Alright then. The weather is hot, so take care to prevent heatstroke. In addition, send people for each manor to the Liu residence to learn how to make cold cakes..”
