After traveling through time, I married the prince by signing in

Chapter 11 Planting Rice

Manager Chen actually had someone recommend someone, "There is a person on our farm who can do it. His name is Gu Mao. He was a child picked up by the Gu family, but he was not enslaved." After saying this, he glanced at Yuan Man.

Yuan Man did not care whether a person became a slave or not. What she cared about was whether the person had ability and loyalty.

"Since he was not a slave and was smart, why didn't he take the imperial examination and become an official?"

Manager Chen couldn't help but sigh after hearing this. "He doesn't want to participate. He said he just wants to live a comfortable life on this farm."

"The older generation in Zhuangzi have advised him, but he just won't listen."

"Call him over and let me take a look. If he is suitable and willing to take charge, then let him take charge." As soon as Yuan Man finished speaking, Manager Chen bowed and ran away.

Not long after Manager Chen left, Yuan Er came with someone.

Yuan Man looked at the person thrown to the ground by Yuan Er and sighed. He was able to eat so much and become so fat during these famine years. It was obvious that he had brought disaster to many people.

"Tie him up and wait for the new county magistrate to take office, then hand him over."

"Yes." Yuan Er stepped forward and tied the man up.

The fat steward seemed to be drunk. He didn't react when he was dragged here. He only started yelling after he was tied up. "Hey, what are you doing? Do you know who I am?"

"I am a relative of the county magistrate. If you dare to treat me like this, I will let my uncle beat you to death."

Yuan Er ignored him and tied him up under a tree in the yard.

Seeing that he was still making noise, I picked up a piece of rag from the wall and stuffed it into his mouth, and he became quiet instantly.

But the fat steward rolled his eyes and almost choked to death.

Manager Chen soon came back with Gu Mao. When he saw the fat manager tied under the tree, he blinked twice in surprise.

I thought that this master must be an extraordinary person.

Come to think of it, being able to acquire two farms within this year shows that he has considerable background.

"Boss, this is Gu Mao, he is seventeen years old."

Yuan Man started looking at Gu Mao as soon as they came in. He was quite handsome and the more he looked at him, the more familiar he seemed.

"There is a manor next door that needs a manager. Manager Chen recommended you to me. Do you think you are qualified for the job?"

Gu Mao frowned slightly and nodded, "Yes."

Yuan Man nodded. "I don't want to ask for anything else. I just want your ability and loyalty. Can you do that?"

Gu Mao looked at her and nodded again, "Okay, but I have a request."

Manager Chen looked at him with wide eyes, "Xiao Mao..."

Yuan Man raised his hand to stop him and asked, "What is your request?"

"I can do what you ask, and I can also complete the tasks you give me as long as they are not excessive, but you can't tell me what I do." Gu Mao's expression was very indifferent, as if if she didn't agree, he would just quit being the manager.

Yuan Man could see that he was serious, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "I can ignore it. After all, everyone has his or her own style of doing things. Just don't act on your own when it comes to big things."

"But there is one thing I want to emphasize: my Zhuangzi does not allow traitors to appear."

Gu Mao nodded, "If you find anything, you can deal with it as you wish."

Yuan Man raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Very good, I don't need you to sign any indenture, but I need you to sign a contract with me, which will restrict you and me as well."

"You go and draw up a contract, write down your requirements, write down my requirements as well, and the contract period is three years, how about that?"

Gu Mao nodded and went to the side to draft a contract.

Yuan Man continued, "Manager Chen will continue to manage the farm and 500 acres of good farmland on this side, while Gu Mao will manage the farm and 500 acres of good farmland on the other side."

"We will work hard to cultivate the fields in the next few days, and then arrange some people to grow rice sprouts, so that we can plant them by the end of the month."

Manager Chen responded with bright eyes.

Gu Mao's pen paused for a moment, then continued writing.

Yuanman looked at the contract, confirmed that there was no problem, and signed and put his fingerprints on it.

"I'll assign two people to you to deal with the people over there. It's up to you to decide which ones to keep and which ones to send."

Gu Mao glanced at the two people who appeared outside the door, and his pupils shrank slightly.

"it is good."

Yuanman glanced at him and did not miss his expression.

She could see that Gu Mao was not an ordinary person, but as long as he was loyal during the contract period, she would not interfere.

After they all left, Yuanman found the warehouse and put the rice seeds in it, waiting for people to come the next day to grow them into sprouts.

She also took out 90 kilograms of potatoes. She could see that the people in the village were short of food and had to rely on going up the mountain to find newly sprouted wild vegetables and weeds to fill their stomachs.

On the third day, news came that the county magistrate had been removed from office, and the new one would not arrive for seven days.

Yuan Man naturally was not in a hurry to hand over the fat steward.

For ten days, Yuanman followed Manager Chen around the fields and watched them grow sprouts.

When Yuanman saw the green rice seedlings, he felt a sense of satisfaction.

[Ding, next check-in point, Qingshan Temple in Fu'an City. ]

Qingshan Temple?

Yuan Man tried hard to search his memory, but had no memory of the place. He took out the map and found that it was on a mountain called Jialin.

After confirming the rice planting time with Manager Chen, Yuanman prepared to sign in.

As long as the time for transplanting rice is determined, the time for harvest can be roughly calculated, and then she will come over to see the grand occasion.

He told the butler Chen his address, explained some things to him, and asked Yuan Yi to deliver the fat steward to the new county magistrate, then rode away on horseback.

Gu Mao looked at her retreating figure and asked calmly, "With so many rice seedlings planted at once, someone will surely come to inquire about the origins of the rice seeds. Uncle Chen, why didn't you tell him?"

Manager Chen smiled and said, "The boss knows. He told anyone who asks me to tell him that the rice seeds were provided by Jubao Tower."

"Jubao Tower?" Gu Mao looked at Manager Chen in surprise. He knew very well that he had never heard of the existence of Jubao Tower.

"The boss has ordered us to do so, so we'll just do it and don't worry about anything else." After saying this, Manager Chen smiled and left.

Jubaolou sounds like a place of great wealth.

When Hui Chengyuan received the news, the rice seedlings in the two farms had been planted, just the right amount, neither more nor less.

Looking at the vast rice fields and the lush green rice seedlings in front of him, Hui Chengyuan's eyes were deep.

Hearing Konoha's investigation, he frowned tightly.

"You said that the rice seeds in these 500 acres of land were provided by a company called Jubaolou?"

"Yes, this is what the manager of the manor said himself."

Hui Chengyuan looked at the rice fields for a while before saying, "Bring the manager here."

"Yes."

Manager Chen looked at the man in front of him and felt frightened.

He never expected that this person would come in person.

It's stressful to talk nonsense in front of this person.

Fortunately, the boss gave him a lot and left him 1,220 taels of silver when he left. Although not all of it was given to him, he felt more confident holding it in his hand.

"Where is the Jubao Tower?" Hui Chengyuan asked, glancing at him.
