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

Nie Feng didn't say anything when he heard Manager He report the attack on Weng Xiaoxiao. Instead, he turned around and ordered his followers to find Liu Changshui, the deputy leader of the Salt Gang. They would definitely be able to catch the person that the government couldn't catch.

Since Weng Xiaoxiao's personal safety was threatened, those second-rate guys would never show up in Yangzhou City. If he couldn't settle these, how could Nie Feng still have the face to go out and mingle?

......

Weng Xiaoxiao did only have a scratch, and although it looked serious, the wound was not deep. The problem was that she couldn't wrap her chest tightly before the wound scabbed over, and she couldn't go out without a chest wrap.

The good news came two days ago, and several gangsters were caught.

The case was not complicated. The tripwire and the injured horse at the scene were physical evidence, and there was Xiaotian as a witness. Those thugs were directly sentenced to exile thousands of miles away.

Er Laizi never dreamed that he would capsize in a ditch and be exiled thousands of miles away, which is more difficult than serving two years in prison.

Originally, there was no need to sentence him to exile so far away, but since Nie Feng had shown up, County Magistrate Qian naturally did him a favor, considering it was a matter of great or small importance.

The attack was handled in just a few days, and it was handled neatly. The common people naturally didn't know about it, but there were many well-informed people in Yangzhou, and everyone on the street knew about it.

In short, no one dared to target Weng Xiaoxiao in the short term, but Weng Xiaoxiao also caught the attention of some people because of this.

Others have done what they should and shouldn't help, so Weng Xiaoxiao, the person involved, naturally cannot pretend to be ignorant.

A plaque with the words "A Clear Mirror Hanging High" was carved for Qian, and sent to the county government office with drums and gongs. Qian was a man who valued his reputation, and was pleased to receive such blatant praise, which added to his political achievements.

Ouyang Zhen couldn't be left behind either, but sending pickles wouldn't be enough this time, so Weng Xiaoxiao asked Feng Gu to send him a piece of Hui ink engraved with "Qilin Delivering a Child" to have a good meaning.

Captain Li and the yamen runners also had to be bribed, so Weng Xiaoxiao gave them fifty taels of silver.

Weng Xiaoxiao learned about Nie Feng's help through the information passed on by Ouyang Zhen. She naturally wanted to express her gratitude, but she only sent a can of specially made assorted vegetables.

This matter came to an end.

"Boss, you are the victim, but we have spent nearly two hundred taels of silver here and there. It's a huge loss." Qiuyue complained while looking at the account book.

"It's easy to calculate the money on the books, but it's not the same with favors. From now on, whenever County Magistrate Qian sees that plaque, he'll think of me, right? Not to mention County Magistrate Ouyang, I have to send it to him both for public and private reasons. I can't save money on Captain Li either, if there's anything, I'll have to ask him to do something, and it won't work just by relying on pressure from above, I have to pay him enough for running errands so that he can do things efficiently."

Good fortune and misfortune are interdependent. Only when something happens will you have the opportunity to establish these relationships. If you handle them well, the human relationships will become deeper.

"Xiaoxiao, these should all be given as gifts, no problem. But why did you only give a jar of pickles to Mr. Nie's family?" Feng Gu was a little puzzled.

Weng Xiaoxiao curled her lips. This favor was so big that she didn't know what to give as a gift.

Er Laizi, the gang leader, escaped so quickly that even the yamen runners could not stop him. He was eventually caught by the salt gang. How much money and gifts should be used to repay this favor? At least a thousand taels.

She can't take it out now.

"It was agreed upon at the beginning. I will only work in the bank for three years. Before I leave, I should be able to find a disciple for Mr. Nie. That should be enough to repay this favor."

Feng Gu nodded, Weng Xiaoxiao just needs to know what's going on. Nie Feng is old enough to be Xiaoxiao's father, and he's also a playboy. She doesn't want her daughter to be abducted by such a man.

The most troublesome thing is to owe favors to others.

Especially when a woman owes a man a big favor.

......

"You want to bring me an apprentice?" Nie Feng asked in surprise. It is said that teaching an apprentice will starve the master to death, and few people will teach their skills without reservation.

"I know that Er Laizi's case was all thanks to the boss. I have to repay this favor, but what can I give? After thinking about it, the only way is to train a talent for the bank and help the boss make more money."

He went to help Weng Xiaoxiao sincerely, and did not intend to ask for anything in return. But if he did not ask for anything in return, it would make people more likely to suspect that he had other intentions, and he did not want her to misunderstand.

These words left Nie Feng no room for refusal, "Okay, then let's do this."

"Please ask the boss to choose someone who is sensitive to numbers, preferably someone who used to be an accountant and understands finance so that he can get the job done."

Nie Feng nodded slightly, looked out the window and said no more. The girl wanted to draw a clear line between them and him, and no matter how uncomfortable she felt, she had no choice but to do so.

After saying what she wanted to say, Weng Xiaoxiao said goodbye and left. She still had to do the delayed work herself after all. After resting for several days, she had to work overtime when she came back.

......

When Weng Xiaoxiao went to the farm again, it had been almost a month since the last incident.

"Boss, I've already used the compost I made in the spring on the twenty acres of vegetable land I just bought. I've also built the vegetable shed you mentioned on these five acres of land."

Without plastic film, we can only build the most primitive earthen shed. Three walls are built with bricks, the front is low and the back is high, and the sides are sloped. The back half is a fixed roof, and the front half is covered with straw curtains. During the day, it can be opened to let in sunlight, and at night, it can be covered to keep the temperature.

Pickled cucumbers are very expensive, but they sell well. They are made of tender cucumbers that are about one foot long, which are very crisp and delicious, and are most popular among wealthy families.

The purpose of building these vegetable sheds is to grow cucumbers in winter.

As they were talking, the two of them had already arrived at the fields.

"Are there enough people?" Weng Xiaoxiao asked, looking at the rows of sheds.

"Once we finish building this, we will go back to harvest the rice. The timing is just right."

"Can the injured horses walk and pull the cart?" The two horses that were injured last time have been left on the farm.

"The horse Xiaotian is riding is already well again. Your horse is a little lame, but it can pull the cart without any problem."

"Then leave them on the farm and use them to pull carts. Send ox carts as well. Arrange them in the correct order so there won't be any conflicts."

Liu Yuan nodded and agreed, "I would like to thank the boss on behalf of the villagers."

"Uncle Liu, please appoint two deputy managers. You can't handle all this heavy workload." This boss is really kind-hearted. If it were someone else, he would hope that you would do the work of two people.

"Let Lao Liu take care of the vegetable garden. He's good at growing vegetables and he's honest and reliable."

Lao Liu was a righteous man. Last time, he was not afraid of offending Wang Fang's family and spoke many truths.

"How should we arrange this vegetable plot?"

From now on, we may have to grow precious vegetables, so it would be better to manage them in a unified way.

"Boss, how about this? We can rent the greenhouse vegetables to Lao Liu's family, and the rent for one acre of land will be determined according to the normal rules. We will charge the extra at the normal price. They don't have to worry about sales, they just need to farm, and we can save management and worry."

Weng Xiaoxiao looked at the fields, her thoughts drifting away.

The contract system is more proactive and is an advanced management method in later generations. Since we have few people, this is indeed the most advantageous way to operate.
