Mrs. Jing seemed to have just casually mentioned Manager Li, sighed softly, and stopped continuing the topic, but Jiang Long could tell that Mrs. Jing still valued Manager Li.
So Jiang Long lowered his head, frowned, and narrowed his eyes.
Although they had only met once, he had already basically figured out Manager Li's temperament.
It’s not that I dislike this person, but how important is the financial power in the government?
When he becomes the real master of the house, he will definitely hand over the management of the warehouse and accounting room to his capable confidants.
It is always more reliable and convenient to use your own people.
Of course Mrs. Jing didn't know what Jiang Long was thinking at this time, and in her opinion, Jiang Long was still too young and had never been exposed to the affairs of the mansion before. Even if it was the fastest, he would have to train for five or six years, or even
It takes seven or eight years to stand alone.
By that time, both herself and some of the old people who followed her in the house would be old and lacked energy and it was time to retire.
Jiang Long just took over all matters in the government.
If Jiang Long had not traveled through time, Mrs. Jing's idea was indeed correct.
The Jingfu family has a huge business, and a young man who is slowly growing up will indeed need to practice for several years before he can take over.
In that case, the new owner and Mrs. Jing's old subordinates who should also retire will not have much conflicts during the transfer of power.
But now Jiang Long will not wait for several years before taking over Jingfu.
There are dangers around him, and he has to help Lin Ya rescue his younger brother. Moreover, the Jing family and the current prince are also very difficult to deal with. He needs to find a solution as soon as possible.
And without the support of Jingfu's manpower and abundant resources, he would naturally be unable to do anything with his hands empty.
Therefore, the prerequisite is to first become the truly powerful master of Jing Mansion.
It seems that conflicts with the old stewards in the house are inevitable and cannot be avoided.
After Jiang Long figured it out, he slowly raised his head, with a natural look on his face, but there was extreme confidence in his eyes.
After chatting with Mrs. Jing for a while, Jiang Long resigned.
Back in the courtyard, Jiang Long told Yuchai and Baoping that they would go to the farm tomorrow.
"Young Master is lying. You promised me before that you would drive out for an outing tomorrow." Baoping immediately started shouting dissatisfied.
Jiang Long chuckled, raised his hand and rubbed Baoping's head, "Isn't there a Zhuangzi located at the foot of a mountain, with a large garden nearby?"
"Humph, it turns out I was just on an outing." Jiang Long's body has changed a lot in the past few days. He is no longer as immature as before. Sometimes he even needs treasure bottles and jade hairpins to coax him. Not only does he now have a very attractive
His temperament has become much more mature.
Baoping and Yuchai were a little confused and uncomfortable at first, but after thinking about it, they felt that Jiang Long must have experienced a chase and his talents suddenly matured.
As for not adapting... Jiang Long is much better now than before. They wish Jiang Long had changed like this a few years ago.
Baoping liked Jiang Long's affectionate gesture of rubbing her head very much. She felt that Jiang Long's palms were warm and comfortable to be touched. However, she still pretended to be unhappy and tilted her head slightly. Of course, she would not really avoid it.
He complained softly.
Yuchai was obviously a little disappointed and lowered her head. She had wanted to have a fun day with Jiang Long.
After hearing the news about the outing, she started to pack her bags happily, but her movements that were originally quick and quick now suddenly slowed down.
But Jiang Long's words made her smile again.
"Prepare some extra clothes, we will stay on the farm for a few days."
"Great!" Baoping jumped up and cheered.
After Jiang Long left, Mrs. Jing sent someone to summon Zhang Jiang and told Jiang Long to take over several farms for training.
"But the young master has never been to a farm before. I'm afraid he can't even distinguish between grains now, right?" Mrs. Zhang Jiang was a little unhappy after hearing this. The farm in her house was managed by her, and now Jiang Long came to intervene.
It's just taking her power.
"Um?"
Mrs. Jing's expression fell in vain, and she put down the teacup in her hand.
A few drops of warm tea splashed out and wet the table.
Mrs. Zhang Jiang secretly screamed, but before Mrs. Jing could get angry, she quickly apologized and said with a smile: "I am just worried that the young master will make his own decisions after going to the farm, which will disrupt the normal order of the farm. After all, every day
Each farm has more than a hundred households of tenant farmers, and these tenant farmers still rely on the crops in the fields to make a living.
If the young master makes a mess on the farm, the tenant farmers will complain in their hearts even if they don't say anything.
But since you have made up your mind, I will naturally support you strongly."
Mrs. Jing also knew that Jing Jianglong had never been exposed to farming before, so he might make mistakes when he went to the farm.
But when young people grow up, how can they not make mistakes?
"If Jiang Long is really messing around and causing a reduction in crop yields this year, Jing Shang will compensate the tenants at the price during the autumn harvest." Mrs. Jing is not an unreasonable person, and she is very considerate.
Show sympathy to the servants and tenant farmers in the palace.
"Yes." Mrs. Zhang Jiang's face turned ugly when she heard this. What Mrs. Jing said was simply telling her clearly that she didn't need to think so much. Even if Jiang Long made a mistake, it wouldn't be a big deal.
Just go find a steward from the farm and tell him to help the young master."
"Go." How could Mrs. Yi Jing's wisdom not reveal Mrs. Zhang Jiang's little thoughts?
But in the end he didn't rebuke him.
But I also don’t want Mrs. Zhang Jiang hanging around under my nose anymore.
"Before looking for the manager, ask Jiang Long first to see which farm he wants to take over first."
"oh."
Mrs. Zhang Jiang was dissatisfied. She originally wanted to deliberately pick a farm with the worst yield for Jiang Long to take over.
After leaving Mrs. Jing's courtyard, Mrs. Zhang Jiang angrily went to look for Jiang Long. Since Mrs. Jing had given an order, she didn't dare to disobey it.
It was noon and Jiang Long was sitting at the table having lunch.
"Young Master, Grandma Jiang is here." A little maid guarding the door announced outside.
Jiang Long didn't have any good impression of Mrs. Zhang Jiang. If he hadn't seen that Mrs. Jing was always very protective of this person, he would have said lazily, "Let her in."
"yes."
As soon as the little maid's voice fell, Mrs. Zhang Jiang vigorously lifted the door curtain and walked in.
Seeing Zhang Jiang's large movements, Jiang Long lowered his eyes, slowly picked up the spoon and took a sip of Tremella Lotus Seed Soup.
Seeing that Jiang Long was indifferent to her arrival, Mrs. Zhang Jiang stood up to greet her with some respect. She said hello, and without even looking at him, her face immediately darkened. After all, she was also Mrs. Jing's right-hand man.
She even hugged Jiang Long when he was little.
It’s not an exaggeration to say that he is half of Jiang Long’s elders!
snort!
Mrs. Zhang Jiang forcibly suppressed the boiling anger in her chest, and directly stated her purpose of coming, "The old lady sent me to ask, which farm in the house does the young master plan to take over?"
"The one at the foot of Wushi Mountain." Jiang Long was also lazy and talking nonsense to Zhang Jiang.
Mrs. Zhang Jiang turned around and left. The two maids who were following her clearly felt that something was wrong in the atmosphere, and hurriedly saluted Jiang Long before following her.
"Young Master, Grandma Jiang has many connections in the house and her prestige is extremely high." Yuchai, who stood up quickly after Grandma Jiang entered the house, hesitated and said.
Baoping also saw that Jiang Long seemed to have some differences with Zhang Jiang, but he didn't know the reason, so he said, "Yes, and the old lady trusts Grandma Jiang very much."
Jiang Long didn't reply when he heard this, he just raised his head and looked in the direction of the door.
No matter how high the prestige of the Zhang Jiang family is, they are only a steward of the Jing Mansion!
As the young master of the Jing Mansion, is it possible that he has to lower his stature to please a man in charge of the manor that he doesn't like?
After Mrs. Zhang Jiang left Jiang Long's courtyard angrily, she could no longer hold back the anger in her heart!
He said in a hateful voice: "Go and find Manager Hu!"
Manager Hu is the head of the farm at the foot of Wushi Mountain.
After a while, Manager Hu hurried from outside the house, and Ms. Zhang Jiang met Manager Hu at her home.
I don't know what the two whispered in the room. After Hu Guanshi came out, he quickly rushed back to the farm.
Because he did not deliberately conceal it, soon word spread in the mansion that Jiang Long was going to take over the farm.
Lin Ya's spirit recovered after a few days of rest.
At this time, she had just had lunch and was sitting in front of the bed petting the gray wolf when Du Juan suddenly burst into the room in a hurry.
The two maids who were temporarily ordered to serve Lin Ya frowned slightly when they saw this.
This Du Juan is really reckless and has no regard for superiority or inferiority. Didn't he know to call someone before entering?
The two of them secretly glanced at Lin Ya's face and saw that Lin Ya was not angry, so they did not accuse her.
The relationship between master and servant must be very good, so they don't care about these little things, the two women speculated.
"Young madam, I just heard that the young master is going to manage the farm. Do you want to follow him?" Du Juan has sharp eyesight. Even though the two maids are very careful, the secret looks and small movements still did not escape her.
eyes, but she relied on her special status to not be afraid of these two maids.
Lin Ya's beautiful eyes lit up when she heard this!
The hands holding Big Big Wolf tightened instinctively.
"Then go and ask for me."
Du Juan nodded immediately after hearing this, then turned around and left in a hurry.
As soon as she stepped out of the threshold and entered the small courtyard, Du Juan's eyes flashed with jealousy, "You used to shirk your approach to Jing Jianglong, but now you are eager to come to her door yourself. It seems that this bitch is really right."
Jiang Long is tempted!"
Although she was afraid of Lin Ya and changed her mind to get some benefits from Lin Ya, she had a perverted mentality and just couldn't stand Ling Ya's kindness.
After Jiang Long finished his meal, he was sitting at the table drinking tea when he heard Du Juan's request to see him.
Du Juan is another dowry maid of Lin Ya. I wonder if she was also sent by the elders of the Lin family to monitor Lin Ya?
Jiang Long had never had a chance to contact him before, so he put down his tea cup and let Du Juan in.
Du Juan walked into the house, not embarrassed at all. As a girl and a maid, she stared blankly at Jiang Long's face.
Last time Jiang Long showed his talent at Jialan Temple, Du Juan also admired him wholeheartedly.
Yuchai was clearing the table, while Baoping was carrying a copper basin. She had just washed Jiang Long's hands after he had used the food. She felt unhappy when she saw Du Juan staring at her young master so boldly.
However, Du Juan is the young lady's dowry maid. According to convention, after Lin Ya becomes pregnant, she may be assigned by Lin Ya to go to bed to serve Jiang Long, so she is regarded as Jiang Long's woman who has been secretly arranged. No matter how unhappy they are,
Can't say anything.
"I have seen the young master." Du Juan waited until she came closer before lowering her head, putting her hands on her waist and bending her knees to salute. She tried to make her movements as graceful as possible, hoping to attract Jiang Long's attention.
"Get up." However, Jiang Long seemed as if he hadn't seen Du Juan's bold direct gaze and elegant salute. He reached out and picked up the tea cup again, lowered his head and gently blew a few tea leaves floating on the water.
Secretly, he was paying attention to Du Juan's every move.
Du Juan is not a real beauty, but her appearance is not bad either.
Everything else is fine, but he has a pair of triangular eyes.
Such people are generally mean, greedy, and cruel!
"You came to see me for something?"
"The young lady heard that you are leaving the house tomorrow to take over a farm, so she sent a slave over to ask if you could take the young lady with you."
