When Su Qing saw this person, he couldn't help but smile: "What's your name?"
This man was a genius at leading troops. At that time, he only took refuge in a small country with a total strength of only a few hundred thousand, but he defeated a large country like the Ming Dynasty to the point where it was breathless.
Of course, this is what the master said.
Thinking of her master's words now makes her feel happy. No matter how great a general this person is in the future, he is still a young man at this moment. Su Qing, such a beautiful woman, smiled at him, which immediately made his cheeks turn red: "Caomin Yuanruo, meet the princess.
.
The woman also quickly said: "Caomin Yuanqin pays homage to the princess."
"No need to be formal, get up. Madam Yuan, it just so happens that I have something to ask you for. You have lived in this village for a long time and know the situation here better. I want to hand over the management of the village to you. I wonder if you are willing.
?”
Yuan Qin really didn't expect that the princess would give her such a great favor, and was immediately flattered: "This... woman has never managed Zhuangzi, and she is worried that she will not be able to handle things well and live up to the princess's high expectations."
"I have only one request for Zhuangzi, which is to increase grain production threefold next year. Are you confident that you can accomplish this?"
Yuan Qin hesitated: "If it is only three times higher than this year...actually, we just need to let the tenants farm well."
Su Qing nodded with satisfaction: "You have the final say whether tenants will stay or be recruited, so are you confident that you can do it?"
Yuan Qin was still a little hesitant. Before, she only had hatred in her heart, and she could hardly think about anything else except revenge for her little sister.
But now she was suddenly asked to manage more than a hundred people in Zhuangzi, and she was afraid that she would not be able to do a good job.
Before she could answer, her brother urged her: "Sister, if the princess is willing to give you this job, just accept it. Even if there is something wrong, I will still look after it for you."
Yuan Qin was actually moved. It was better to have such a job than to have her idle at home.
Hearing what her brother said, determination flashed in her eyes: "Thank you, Princess, for your appreciation. A common woman will definitely live up to the Princess's high expectations!"
Su Qing then looked at Yuan Ruo: "Actually, I intend to let you do things for me, but if you want to follow Mrs. Yuan in managing Zhuangzi, I won't force you."
Yuan Ruo was stunned: "What does the princess want the common people to do?"
"Join the Guanzhong Army and investigate the atmosphere in the army for me." Su Qing also said directly.
Guanzhong is fifty miles away from Kyoto. If Su Qing's guess is correct, Baili Mao and Baili Shou cannot hook up with her father, Su Changyun, and they will attack the generals in Guanzhong.
Going to join the army in other places means leaving your family, and what you do is also risky, so Su Qing told him bluntly.
Yuan Ruo was not afraid of danger. In fact, he had planned to join the army. As long as his status could rival that of the third prince, he would be qualified to thoroughly investigate the younger sister's case.
It's just that he was surprised. Such work of investigation requires trust, and the princess actually gave her trust to him as soon as she met him.
Yuan Ruo felt grateful in his heart. After being stunned, he immediately said: "If the common people are willing, the common people will pack their luggage when they go back!"
"No rush, let me tell you about the relationships between the characters in Guanzhong first." Su Qing asked Yuan Qin to go back first, leaving Yuan Ruo to explain a lot to him carefully before letting him go home.
Early the next morning, the Yuan family's mother came to see Su Qing again. When Su Qing heard that she was coming, he thought she didn't want her son to join the army. After all, being a soldier is very dangerous.
If the old man was worried about his son, then Su Qing would not force it, and in the end, the elder lady also came to thank her.
Su Qing was actually quite embarrassed to have such an old man kneel down and kowtow to him, but the senator couldn't help him up, so he must have finished kowtowing before he got up.
Having finished reprimanding yesterday, Su Qing announced Yuan Qin's identity as the manager and asked Chunlan to stay and assist her for a while before setting off to the next village.
The two stewards of Zhuangzi below are not related to Lan Ruyi. They also heard about Su Qing's methods and knew that Su Qing was not easy to mess with. They had more rules this time.
Taking the account book they handed over, she saw that the records in the account were the same as those she had seen before, and there were no frauds. Su Qing did not want to embarrass them.
"You behaved yourself and did not fool me with fake account books. Since you still have some ability to distinguish right from wrong, I am not willing to drive people away. I want you to continue to control Zhuangzi. But if there is something you can't do well, do you know?
as a result of?"
The manager quickly said: "I know, Princess, don't worry. From now on, I will definitely work for the Princess in a disciplined manner, and I will never dare to make any mistakes."
"That's very good. Let's take this princess down and have a look." Su Qing walked in front and glanced at the steward behind her: "If you are loyal, I will not treat you badly, but if you want to rely on both sides, think about it.
Do you understand whether my junior sister, my princess, is willing to waste her energy to keep you?"
"I understand, I will never dare to have bad thoughts in the future, Princess, don't worry." The thoughts in the steward's mind were completely gone at this moment.
Who said this princess is a fool? Her aura is so scary, okay?
He was sweating all over his waistcoat!
Fortunately, he didn't listen to others' instigation and go against the third princess, otherwise he would have ended up in a miserable place!
Su Qing was very satisfied with the performance of the manager and asked him to clear out unnecessary people. He understood immediately and quickly drove away the several maids and servant girls arranged by Zhuangzi Shanglan Ruyi.
Su Qing still doesn't know that her series of actions have spread in Kyoto.
This rare occasion, not only did they not scold her, the noble ladies in Kyoto also used her as a model to educate their daughters on how to wisely plan for their husbands, instead of just trying to please their mother-in-law and sisters-in-law.
A man is a woman's heaven. Only when he is good can she be good.
Bailiyu is actually a popular person in Kyoto. He is good-looking and capable, and there are quite a few girls who fall in love with him.
It's just his situation in Beijing, and thinking of his junior sister and Liu Yao who liked him before, the girls are also wise, and they stay away from him no matter how tempted they are.
If they had not hesitated at the beginning, if they could have the skills of Su Qing to fight back Bailiyu's property, they would not have to look at Lan Ruyi's face in the future.
After all, those properties are Bailiyu's personal property and do not need Lan Ruyi to take care of them.
Su Qing, who has returned home after a long journey, has not yet had time to ask about the praise given to her by everyone in Kyoto: "How is the case of the Yuan family girl's case going?"
Su Qing lay down tiredly. Everyone around her had just come back with her. Naturally, she was asking Bailiyu who was just idle at home and eating soft food.
"It went very well, but I can't implicate my junior sister at the moment." Bai Liyu was as indifferent as ever, and he didn't feel the slightest guilt when he saw that his wife was exhausted when she came home after being busy for several days.
