It's not scary to travel through a book, you can change your fate as a cannon fodder by yoursel

"You're too polite, sister-in-law. I didn't even know you were getting married and I didn't even prepare a gift. I'm sorry."

Weng Xiaoxiao looked at Chunxia, ​​and Chunxia understood. She guessed what her master meant and took out two ten-liang gold ingots.

"You two must accept this belated gift."

Shi Jinsheng was distracted by the two gold ingots, and hurriedly pulled the woman down to her knees, "I am ashamed to accept such a generous gift."

Weng Xiaoxiao stood up and gave the two of them a helping hand. "I feel very relieved to leave the management of the manor to you. I never treat capable and loyal people unfairly. Just accept it with peace of mind."

Twenty taels, many people have never seen it in their entire lives.

Xiuhong couldn't help but look at Yuanbao twice more. She was originally not willing to marry an old and disabled man, but the betrothal gift was enough, enough for her younger brother to get married, so she had no choice but to marry him.

But I didn't expect that this man was not only considerate, but also capable. As the head of the village, she was a very important figure in the village. She didn't have to look at anyone's face, and many people came to curry favor with her.

But she couldn't accept things that she shouldn't accept, she couldn't say things that she shouldn't say, and she dared not disobey the man's lecture, and she always stuck to her duties.

Weng Xiaoxiao grabbed the silver and put it in Shi Jinsheng's hand.

This was the boss's recognition and appreciation of him. Shi Jinsheng said excitedly: "The boss's kindness will be remembered in my heart."

He turned around, handed the silver to the woman, and ordered, "Go make a pot of tea. A few more people will be coming soon. Prepare more food and make it more sumptuous."

A good cook cannot cook without rice. Now that she has so much money out of thin air, Xiuhong will naturally be willing to treat the guests generously. "I'll get busy right away." She turned and went into the inner room, and soon walked out again.

"That's the good thing about country women: they are obedient and capable."

The world is like this, Weng Xiaoxiao can't make any excuses, "I see that you have a good relationship. How many of you are married now?"

"Even if you have money to marry someone, there are still many others. While the pension is still there, give more betrothal gifts and there will always be someone willing to marry you."

Money is hard currency, and times are hard, so naturally people won’t be so picky.

"Chunxia, ​​remember this and ask Xiaokong to do it later. The steward will be given ten taels for marriage, and the general will be given two taels. I will pay for this benefit myself, and it is only limited to the wounded soldiers. I can't take care of the tenants."

"I'm sorry to have spent so much money on you, boss." Shi Jinsheng stood up and saluted again, more respectfully.

Talking about this in front of Shi Jinsheng was to let him know that whoever contributes more will be treated better.

There are always people in charge who try to take advantage of the situation. Weng Xiaoxiao was originally a low-level office worker, so she naturally understands this.

But, the butt determines the head, and thinking determines behavior.

Depending on what position you sit in, your starting point for looking at and solving problems will be different.

She had no way to guarantee absolute fairness, as no one could do that. She could only try her best to treat everyone fairly and not let the weak be bullied.

What the head of the family wants is stability and development. As for the small things in all aspects, it is impossible for him to take so many into consideration.

Thinking that his boss had been tired from the journey, Shi Jinsheng talked about the important things.

"Wait until you have a good rest, and I will show you around."

Weng Xiaoxiao had read the account book that Xiaokong had sent over. Through the account book and Xiaokong's description, she had a rough idea of ​​the progress of everything on Zhuangzi's estate.

But the account book only records the expenses and income. To see what it actually looks like, we must check it on site. This is also one of the purposes of this trip.

The northwest is short of supplies, and King Tuo can't afford to waste time and fight a protracted war. He will definitely launch an attack when the weather warms up, and the old marquis may not survive this year. If Yang Shuo was not in Mobei, she would not have come all the way here.

"No rush, I'll stay longer this time."

"It is an honor for Zhuangzi that you are willing to stay here. I am more than happy to accept your request."

While they were talking, Xiao Kong arrived with the managers.

After exchanging greetings, they all sat down.

"Manager Qian, please tell the boss about the wine shop. Just give a brief introduction first."

Qian Gui nodded, "I'm thinking of stabilizing things this year first, and not rushing to expand production. I'll wait until I've trained a few reliable people. Of course, I'll ultimately listen to my boss's instructions."

Shi Jinsheng looked at Weng Xiaoxiao. They had discussed this matter long ago. But which boss doesn't value profit? Will he be willing to play it safe? They didn't know Weng Xiaoxiao well, so they were unsure.

"We want to keep our workshop open for a long time. We need to accumulate experience and not rush to expand blindly."

"The boss is wise." Shi Jinsheng and Qian Gui said in unison.

Professionals are afraid of encountering an ignorant boss who gives blind orders.

After Qian Gui finished speaking, Fan Qing also talked about reclaiming farmland and planting fruit trees on the mountains.

Just have arrangements and plans. It's been less than a year, so it's impossible to achieve everything in one go.

"Boss, this year is a bit dry. There were two heavy snowfalls in winter, and it hasn't rained since the beginning of the year."

This news is a bit bad. "Has the water level dropped?"

“It’s naturally declining.”

"Master Shi, dig a few wells. We have to make some preparations. Which one is more suitable for making wine, river water or well water? You can try it yourself. The quality of wine is closely related to water."

"Boss is absolutely right. I will arrange it tomorrow. The sooner the better."

Drought and flood are both natural disasters. Life is difficult when any of them happens. They have just established themselves here and don't want to give up just like that.

"Feel free to raise any ideas you have. I always have ideas that I can't think of. One person can make a plan, two people can make a plan, and more people can always make things more successful."

"Yes, yes, we'll talk about it in detail when the owner goes to the site to see it. There are always various problems."

Weng Xiaoxiao nodded. She was there to solve the problem. It was the boss’s responsibility to deal with the difficult matters.

"Boss, the food is ready, can we start eating?"

Shi Jinsheng said nothing, looked at Weng Xiaoxiao, and listened to her instructions.

"Then eat first, then do something else."

"Did you hear me? Put it up." Shi Jinsheng said to his wife.

Xiuhong stepped out, and Xiaokong and the others stood up to pull the table and move the benches.

"Brother, is my sister-in-law pregnant? The way she walks is similar to my wife's."

Shi Jinsheng chuckled, "Three months."

"Congratulations, brother, you are still as good as ever!"

Everyone congratulated Shi Jinsheng.

Weng Xiaoxiao worked among men all day long and had heard all kinds of dirty talk. Since it was not directed at her, she just pretended not to hear it.

Originally he was just enjoying his happiness secretly, but now that everyone knows about it and he has received blessings, he feels even better. Shi Jinsheng went out with a smile and brought back a jar of wine.

"Boss, try the wine we brew in our own workshop later. It's really good. Even the general likes it."

"You have to try it, but I can't drink much, so please don't force me to drink."
