An eight-year-old kid emptied his scumbag father's warehouse and followed his grandparents into

end of September,

The autumn wind is gradually rising and the weather is getting a little cooler.

Jing Yi returned to Qingshan Villa exhausted, but the few people he took out had not returned yet.

Although his face was tired, there was a hint of pride in his eyes, like a victorious general.

As soon as he saw Jing Qiurong after entering the room, he said loudly, "Miss, you have to take care of my dinner tonight."

As soon as he saw it, he knew that the matter was done. Jing Qiurong was so happy that she smiled at him: "You are finally back. Pu Ge'er was always thinking about you. What do you want to eat? I will prepare it for you."

"You know me. It's okay as long as there's enough meat and the portion is sufficient." She said this without treating him as an outsider at all, as if Jing Qiurong knew him very well.

After just two sips of tea, Jing Yi couldn't wait to report the results of this trip.

"Girl, it's all done!"

Jing Yi didn't waste any time and went straight to the point. "I bought all eight shops and four farms in the Marquis' Mansion at a low price, less than 30% of the market price. Here are the remaining banknotes."

The box of banknotes she had given out had half returned to her. Jing Qiurong took it without counting it, and only said softly, "Thank you for your hard work."

The man just looked at people and smiled without saying a word.

Jing Chunxi was the happiest person to get back so much property. In her opinion, this should have belonged to her younger brother.

As soon as Jing Yi sat down, he opened the floodgates of conversation: "This time, it was all thanks to the butler. He was very familiar with the place and helped me get things done much faster.

The two people sent by the Marquis's wife were also vicious. There were obviously buyers who offered higher prices than us, but they kept holding back and refused to sell because the other party was tactless and didn't give them any benefits. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to get all the goods.

Their greed is easy for us to deal with. With a little effort, it's easy to buy out their shops and farms.

The main reason was that they were in a hurry, and they were urging us to sign the contract and pay the money without any hesitation. They even copied the sales contract over a dozen times and signed and sealed it very quickly, as if they didn't want to wait any longer.

"Thanks to these well-organized account books and contracts, and the chief steward's connections in the capital, things went exceptionally smoothly.

But it still cost a bit of money to arrange the meal, and we also spent a lot of money on food. Fortunately, there were more than ten of us who went separately, otherwise we would have gained ten pounds from eating and drinking."

Jing Yi said this with a bit of pride on his face: "Not only that, we also had a lot of dealings with the neighbors of those shops and the villagers near the village.

In order to get closer to them, I specially sent people to treat them to several meals. As a result, I got to know quite a few people.

Even the village head who originally wanted to join forces with the villagers to take over the village has now become friendly with our people."

Seeing how humorous the story was, Jing Qiurong covered her mouth and laughed, saying, "It's you men who are going. If it were us, even if we spent a little more money, we really don't know how to deal with these things."

Jing Chunxi couldn't help but chuckle, "Uncle Jing is really amazing. He can even deal with the head of the village."

Jing Yi waved his hand and said modestly, "Isn't this all thanks to the young lady's good arrangements? If it weren't for those account books and contracts, how could things have gone so smoothly?

When I first bought the farm, they wanted to take advantage of it, but later I sent some people from the mountains over and drove them away.

Now that the government has given them a clear path, they dare not act recklessly.”

He paused, then continued, "However, to be on the safe side, I replaced the shopkeepers, village heads, and servants in those shops and villages.

The leaders are all our own. The new hires have been carefully selected, with clean backgrounds and a down-to-earth approach to their work. The shop is operating normally, and the crops in the farm are about to be harvested. Everything is proceeding according to plan.

I'd like to add some people to the farm in the future, and have Ah Qi take in some more young beggars. If there are any who are willing to sign a death contract, I can raise them in the farm first. They will be useful in the future."

This matter was handled faster and more smoothly than they had expected. Jing Chunxi praised him sincerely: "Uncle Jing, you have worked hard and done a great job this time. With these shops and farms, our foundation will be more stable. Even if my brother is not a marquis, he will still be a wealthy man."

Jing Yi kept that smile after he came back, and he sighed, "Yes, although this trip to the capital was hard, I also learned a lot of social skills that I couldn't learn in the army."

In the past, hehe, he felt that he only knew how to use brute force to march and fight, and he didn't know how to adapt his thinking. Even when training this eight or nine-year-old girl in front of him, he was yelling at her and showed no mercy.

Now not only did I get the job done, but I also made a lot of connections. If I have similar things to do in the future, it will be much easier to handle.

Jing Qiurong's eyes were filled with gratitude: "Brother Jing, this time it's all thanks to you. If you hadn't personally taken action, how could things have gone so smoothly?

Even the chief steward may not be able to suppress those evil people."

Jing Yi waved his hand and said with a smile, "Miss, you are too polite. The general transferred me here to deal with troublesome matters. These are all trivial matters to me and are also my responsibility.

As long as I didn't mess things up, I'll be satisfied. If there's anything like this again, just give me your instructions."

Jing Chunxi found the rest of the conversation boring and went for a walk outside instead.

The two people in the room chatted for a while, and then Jing Yi stood up and said goodbye.

Jing Chunxi watched him leave and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. With these shops and farms, the Jing family's strength has increased significantly.

Only by continuing to move forward steadily and steadily in this way can the Jing family's future be brighter.

When my grandparents came back later, they were no longer penniless. They even had enough money to help my cousins ​​get married and have children.

I still have to save up some dowry for my cousin.
