“The lives of the commoners are different from when they were at the border. They really need money.”

“After half a year, they will receive their wages. At that time, each of them will receive 10 taels of silver. With the money in their hands, they will have hope for the future.”

With hope, a plan could follow.

As such, the Nangong Army no longer wanted to return to the border to fight. Only then could they truly begin to live in seclusion.

Li Xiao was silent.

“Yes.”

Hearing Li Xiao’s reply, Lin Xiaoyue’s heart relaxed a little.

“In addition to the chili workshop, I’m also planning to build a sausage and bacon workshop in the Zhou Manor.” Lin Xiaoyue continued.

“Yes.” Li Xiao glanced at Lin Xiaoyue and replied.

“As I want this workshop to open as soon as possible, 1 might have to personally monitor it.” Lin Xiaoyue said.

“Alright.” Li Xiao replied.

Lin Xiaoyue smiled.

Then, Li Xiao thought about something.

“Leave the arrangements for the sausage and bacon workshop to me.” He suddenly said.

Lin Xiaoyue paused.

“I know a little about the Liu residence and the workshop next to it.”

“The Zhou Manor is big. It’s definitely not enough to build one bacon and sausage workshop. We might as well take this opportunity to build a large-scale workshop. Later on, if you want to process other things, it’s also convenient.”

Lin Xiaoyue thought about it and nodded.

The Zhou Manor was not far from Daishi Village. In the future, the chilies produced could be sent to Daishi Village.

However, the sweet potatoes had to be processed.

Whether it was to make sweet potato starch or sweet potato vermicelli, they had to be processed somewhere.

She had to think about it again and try her best to get the plan in place.

As the couple spoke, the carriage wobbled back to Daishi Village.

Following that, Lin Xiaoyue began to report to the Liu residence every day and officially got busy.

During the day, she was either at the Liu residence or at the Zhou manor to check on the chili seedlings and supervise the progress of the Zhou manor’s workshop.

One day, in the Liu residence.

Lin Xiaoyue was in the study reading some documents sent by Head Fang when there was a knock on the door.

“Please enter.” Lin Xiaoyue put down the document in her hand and prepared to rest.

The door opened very quickly. It was Head Fang.

At this moment, a man in black followed behind Head Fang.

“Greetings, Miss!” After entering, Head Fang bowed respectfully.

“Greetings, Miss!” The black-robed man also cupped his fists and bowed.

Lin Xiaoyue raised her head and glanced at the two of them.

The moment she saw the black-robed man, a hint of doubt flashed across her face. Then, she looked at Head Fang questioningly.

“No need to be polite. Head Fang, this is…”

“Oh, Miss, this is Li Jie.” Head Fang hurriedly said.

Lin Xiaoyue was stunned.

In an instant, she looked at the man, and her gaze became much gentler.

“Please take a seat and get someone to serve tea.”

Outside the door, someone immediately went to prepare tea.

Head Fang looked at Li Jie, who looked a little reserved, and gestured for him to sit down at the side.

Lin Xiaoyue also followed them to the opposite side and sat down on the chair.

Then, she started to size up Li Jie.

“Previously, I only heard about you, but 1 have never met you. This time, we finally met. Mr. Li is younger than I thought.” Lin Xiaoyue said with a smile.

Li Jie’s body froze, and his entire body tensed up.

“Miss, you flatter me.” He didn’t even dare to look at Lin Xiaoyue and cupped his hands at her.

Mr. Li?

He used to be a servant of the Liu family. After meeting Head Fang, he became a servant of the Liu family.

How could he be called “Mr” by Miss?

“Not at all,” Lin Xiaoyue smiled.

“You are intelligent and have the talent to become an official. If not for your family’s decline, you wouldn’t be a slave.”

Li Jie’s expression changed as he looked at Lin Xiaoyue in disbelief.

This glance caused his pupils to constrict.

Young Miss actually looked like this?

Her brows were similar to the Sixth Concubine of the Liu Residence who had died, but she was much prettier.

Most importantly, her expression and bearing were incomparable to ordinary women.

Comparing her to the Sixth Concubine was humiliating her.

Li Jie quickly withdrew his gaze, stood up, and apologized to Lin Xiaoyue.

“I have been rude.” He was terrified.

He was fearful.

Other than Old Master Liu, even Young Master Liu didn’t know his identity.

However, Miss actually found out about it, and she knew everything.

Lin Xiaoyue smiled and didn’t mind..
