After being rejected, he emptied the mansion and went into exile

Shen Jinyao looked at everyone's surprised expressions and said, "Before that, Jinyao would like to ask what you brothers think."

"Do you want to stay?"

After Shen Jinyao finished speaking, everyone at the table had different expressions.

Zongshi thought for a moment and said, "Does the young lady have any plans?"

Meng Er also said: "Yes, Miss, you may as well tell us."

Ma Liang nodded. Even if Shen Jinyao didn't say it, he planned to think about his way out in the next few days.

Shen Jinyao said, "The Ma brothers are good at farming, as you can see here. There's a lot of land and plenty of sunshine. If they use it to grow potatoes, they will definitely have a good harvest."

"But just growing potatoes is just enough to provide basic food and clothing. I want to sell a lot of potatoes, and that requires a caravan."

"In addition to the caravan, we can also consider continuing the escort mission. It's not impossible to just stay within Quzhou."

"In short, it will require a lot of manpower."

"The escort agency and the caravan need the brothers from the Zong and Meng families. As long as the potato production is substantial, these things can definitely be done."

After Shen Jinyao finished speaking, not only Zong Cheng and others, but also Shen Zhizheng and the other two were stunned.

Just now in the second room, Shen Jinyao didn't explain it clearly.

They just say they want to make money, but they don’t know how to make it.

But after Shen Jinyao finished speaking just now, they understood.

Shen Jinyao seemed to be playing a game of chess, thinking ten steps ahead before making one move, and her appetite was really big.

In fact, Shen Jinyao did not explain it clearly, and did not even tell Master Kang and Shen Maoshan.

Her trump card is those minerals.

As long as there is a caravan, the ores can be sold more easily.

Of course, how to sell it specifically depends on funds and opportunities.

Zong Cheng and Zong Shi did not expect that Shen Jinyao would think of setting up an escort agency in Quzhou, or even a caravan.

The Ma brothers never expected that Shen Jinyao actually wanted to grow potatoes.

Shen Jinyao saw that no one was talking, so she said, "I know that when you first heard this, you might think I was just daydreaming."

"Then let's not talk about that for now and just talk about growing potatoes."

"I really want you all to stay, firstly because we've come this far and trust and understand each other. I think you're the most suitable candidates."

"Secondly, I have confidence in myself. If I say I can grow something, then I will definitely grow it."

After Shen Jinyao finished speaking, she chuckled and continued, "But..."

"Except for Datian and Xiaotian, everyone has the right to make their own choices. If everyone decides they don't want to stay here, that's fine too."

"I believe we will meet again if we are destined to. I can just look for someone else in Wuhe Village."

Anyone who could understand what was going on knew that Shen Jinyao was retreating in order to advance.

There is neither an employment relationship nor a family relationship between them.

It is completely impossible to keep them by force, and even if we keep them, they will not be united.

Instead of doing this, Shen Jinyao chose to retreat in order to advance.

Shen Jinyao continued, "Don't feel pressured. You'll have one night to decide whether to leave or stay. Just come find me tomorrow."

"Now, let's eat first."

After Shen Jinyao finished speaking, she glanced at Shen Zhizheng and Shen Zhiyong.

Shen Zhizheng was older after all, so he continued, "Come on, come on, eat some food."

Shen Zhiyong picked up the kettle and continued to pour tea for everyone.

Shen Zhixue praised Meng Si's craftsmanship.

Shen Jinyao never mentioned this matter again. Everyone ate, drank, talked and laughed, as if what had just been said had never been said.

After dinner, Shen Jinyao, Shen Zhizheng and others went back.

On the way, Shen Zhiyong asked Shen Jinyao: "Sister, do you think they will stay?"

Shen Jinyao: "I don't know either."

After all, human hearts are unpredictable. Although she is somewhat confident, she is also afraid that her judgment will fail.

Shen Zhixue said, "In fact, it's not impossible to find people to do what they are good at."

Shen Zhixue didn't quite understand why they had to be used.

Shen Jinyao stopped, looked at Shen Zhixue and said, "Zhixue, you have to believe that a friend in need is a friend indeed. These people have been through so much hardship with us, and their feelings will last forever."

Shen Zhixue didn't say anything else, obviously not agreeing with Shen Jinyao's words.

Shen Zhizheng said: "Jin Yao is right, it would be best if they could stay."

Shen Jinyao: "But I'm also prepared for them not to stay. Just like Zhixue said, I'll find someone else."

The reason why Shen Jinyao tried so hard to retain people was that he wanted to quickly expand the Shen family's team.

In this way, we can quickly gain a foothold in Wuhe Village.

If none of them stay, Shen Jinyao will need some time to screen people.

But she has a habit of preparing for the worst.

After the Shen family members left, Zong Cheng and others who had gone to bed early found that the lights in the yard were still on.

The candle even burned until late at night before it went out.

The third branch of the Shen family also knew everything about the meal in this room.

They all knew that Shen Jinyao wanted to keep people.

The eldest master said to the eldest lady, "Haha, aren't you just trying to get something for nothing? You're just talking big and empty words, hoping to keep someone..."

The eldest lady rolled her eyes at the eldest master and said, "Aren't you just encouraging others and destroying your own prestige?"

The master gritted his teeth and said, "Hey, don't you also look down on Jin Yao's behavior?"

The eldest lady made the bed and said, "I don't like her, but Zhizheng, Zhiyong, and Zhixin all think she's good. They don't let me say anything bad about her."

"You should also speak softly so that your sons don't hear."

The master curled his lips and said, "You are just a fence-sitter."

The eldest lady was unconvinced: "I don't care what kind of grass it is, anyway, I am not as conscienceless as your concubine."

Before the master knew that the mistress was still angry, he insisted on taking a concubine.

Who would have thought that the concubine would just run away while in exile.

This incident made the master feel ashamed in front of the lady.

Therefore, those behaviors in the Shen family gradually decreased.

The master could only snort and change the subject, saying, "Hmph, just wait and see. Maybe he'll hand in his resignation tomorrow morning."

……

The master was completely wrong. Among these people, Ma Liang was the most educated one. The others didn't know how to write a resignation letter.

The next morning, Shen Jinyao and Shen Maoshan sat in the main room waiting for those people.

As a result, it was almost noon and no one showed up.

Instead, all the people from the first and second wives arrived.

The eldest master, who was sitting on the side, was getting impatient waiting and asked, "Did they just leave?"

"Haha, Master, you're joking. How could that be possible?"

When everyone looked outside, they saw that it was Zong Cheng, Meng Da and Ma Liang who came over.
