Rich Peasant Girl: The General's Wife Has Space

As for the office, it is used by the accountant and Aunt Xiao San and others, while the conference room is used during festivals and holidays, just like bosses in modern society, to cheer up employees or hold meetings.

Well~ we have to hire an accountant, and it would be best if there is a dedicated person to keep the accounts. Seeing that the business managed by Aunt Xiao and Uncle Xiao is getting bigger and bigger and it is a bit difficult, Xiao Wan decided to have a clearer division of labor.

At the same time, we need to improve employees' wages, bonuses and welfare benefits, and form standard regulations to make management easier.

Xiao Wan slowly explained her plan, and Zhao Lizheng became more and more fascinated as he listened.

When Xiao Wan mentioned that during the busy farming season, everyone could take turns working so as not to delay the work in the fields, Zhao Lizheng became even more excited.

My ancestors have relied on farming for their livelihood. Although I can go to work, I cannot give up the love for the land that is engraved in my bones.

During the slack season, people can work in the village to earn some money, and they can also sell the potatoes they grow to workshops. I really don’t know where to find such a good thing.

At this moment, Zhao Lizheng felt warm in his heart, as if filled with warmth. He knew that the Xiao family would not sit idly by and watch the villagers.

The Xiao family’s righteousness!

Originally, the Xiao family could have ignored everything, and Xiao Wanqing could have just waited for the tax revenue to be paid, but she still had a sense of justice and wanted to help the villagers.

Thinking of this, Zhao Lizheng stood up, and under Xiao Wan's puzzled gaze, he clasped his fists and bowed deeply to Xiao Wan, and also bowed to Xiao's father.

Xiao Wan tried to avoid it and quickly moved to the side to avoid Zhao Lizheng's salute.

Father Xiao was even more surprised. He hurried forward to hold the Zhao Lizheng's arms and helped him stand up. He kept saying, "Brother Zhao, what's the matter? Let's talk it over. How can a junior like Wan'er be worthy of your respect? This will only shorten her life."

"Brother...brother, County...Wan girl and your family deserve it, they deserve it!" Zhao Lizheng stood up straight, tears flashing in his eyes, and changed his words in the face of Father Xiao's disapproving gaze.

"Your family is helping the villagers. Without you, we would still be digging in the fields for food, and we wouldn't earn much food in a year."

"The path provided by Miss Wan is a way to survive for our village. Miss Wan is worthy of my respect." The headman called out Miss Wan unconsciously while speaking, but in the kind eyes of the Xiao family, the trace of uneasiness disappeared.

Old Man Xiao helped Li Zheng Zhao sit down. Li Zheng Zhao wiped his eyes embarrassedly and continued, "The land that Miss Wan wants to mark out is about one and a half acres. But there is a problem. One of the plots belongs to Wang Ergou's family in the village. The place is not big, and it happens to be where Miss Wan wants to mark out."

"What's the big deal? Since we've occupied his land, we should just compensate him three times the market price. It's only right that you give him more compensation." Xiao Wan didn't take it seriously. Throughout history, it has been reasonable to give more compensation when occupying someone else's land.

If it really doesn't work, you can also exchange the land for someone else.

Zhao Lizheng had a look of hesitation on his face. "Wang Ergou is a well-known poor man in the village. His family is the poorest in the village. But Wang Ergou and his wife Qi are not good people. Especially Qi, she is even more powerful than Li Cuihua."

"I'm afraid of occupying their land, so it's hard to talk to them. But your family is a well-off family now, so I don't think they dare to make too much trouble."

"I'll try to mediate when the time comes. After all, building a workshop affects the livelihood of the villagers, and they can't just sit there and watch him make trouble."

"If his family really dares to block the establishment of the workshop and hinder the development of the village, I will go all out to drive them out of Kaoshan Village!" Zhao Lizheng said at the end, his tone couldn't help but carry some righteous harshness.

Xiao Wan didn't care about this. It was reasonable to give her some more compensation, but if the lion asked for too much, then she would forget about it.

Her Xiao family takes care of the villagers out of kindness, not obligation. If someone really gets ahead of her, she doesn't mind using her rights as a county lady.

However, Xiao Wan didn't want to bully others by taking advantage of her power. If the negotiations failed, the worst that could happen was to exchange land. There was plenty of land near the mountain village.

Perhaps Zhao Lizheng thought of the Xiao family's identity, and he couldn't help but relax. He just prayed in his heart that Wang Ergou would not cause trouble for him.
