Prince Anyang wanted to continue asking about the situation, but he pinched his knee and held back.
He turned and glanced at Liang Yu.
His brother-in-law’s expression did not look too good.
“Cough, tell me more about the manors.” Prince Anyang changed the topic.
He wanted to join the chain stores, but he was not in a hurry.
He would go to the Liu family to meet General Shao the day after. At that time, he would talk to the couple.
Although Mrs. Li only planned to open a chain store in Nan’an County, it did not mean that she would not open a chain store in other counties.
Now that the entire Anyang County was his turf, with him around, it would not be a problem for her to open chain stores throughout the entire Anyang County.
Liang Yu also looked at Manager Liang.
That’s right, Manager Liang had written to him and told him about what happened in the three manors.
That woman was really ambitious. Not only did she want to plant chili peppers and sweet potatoes in the manors, she also wanted to open a pig and chicken farm.
She wanted to build a manure pit, and reclaim the mountain.
Manager Liang had even drawn him a map of the terraced fields.
Even though the explanation was not very clear, he had a general understanding of it.
If Manager Liang really did what she said, it would be great.
The area of cultivated land in Anyang County might increase by a lot.
After all, the entire Anyang County was a hilly area.
The lack of cultivated land was a huge problem in Anyang County.
If there was insufficient cultivated land, there would be insufficient food production.
Although he could go to other provinces to buy food, it would be too big of a move and would inevitably attract attention.
If His Highness wanted to keep a low profile, it was necessary to station troops and feed the horses. At that time, the consumption of food would not be low.
At the thought of this, Liang Yu went to fetch a brush and ink.
“You draw and explain to His Highness.” He then said to Manager Liang.
Before this, he was only thinking about the chain store. However, the terraced fields were more important.
“Yes.” Manager Liang replied and stood up.
Manager Liang was afraid that he would smell the alcohol on him, so he did not dare to get too close.
After being urged by Liang Yu, he went up to the two of them.
Prince Anyang of course smelled it, but he only frowned slightly and did not say anything.
Manager Liang secretly watched their reactions. Seeing that they didn’t reprimand him, he felt more at ease.
He didn’t think too much about it and quickly explained what he knew about the terraced fields to the two of them.
In the past two days, the Zhou manor’s head was preparing to hire workers, but Ms. Lin had sent someone to tell them to wait.
He didn’t know if she had other arrangements.
However, according to the information reported by his subordinates, her ideas were very feasible. He felt that the manor would start construction sooner or later.
After listening to Manager Liang’s explanation, Prince Anyang and Liang Yu sighed.
If the mountainous region could be reclaimed, it would greatly increase the usable land!
Also, the idea of building a pond and manure pit in the field was also very good! It could greatly reduce the difficulty of farming in the mountains.
“Wonderful! Wonderful! Ms. Lin is amazing!” Prince Anyang exclaimed.
This time, he addressed Lin Xiaoyue as “Ms. Lin” instead of “Mrs. Li”.
At the same time, Prince Anyang sighed in his heart.
Unfortunately, she was a woman.
If she were a man, he would definitely ask her to work under him.
Liang Yu exclaimed in his heart.
Even though he had seen Lin Xiaoyue’s talent, he still couldn’t believe it when he first met her.
Everyone said that Liang Yu was a proud son of heaven and a business genius. He had always thought highly of himself and rarely looked up to his peers.
There were only two people that he admired.
One of them was Nangong Xiao, a young general.
The other was actually an ordinary-looking little girl.
Oh no, she was Nangong Xiao’s wife…
Thinking back to a few months ago, when they first met, Liang Yu’s heart palpitated, and he felt a trace of disappointment.
He spent 250 taels of silver to buy that precious mirror. He bought it to give to his sister, but in the end, he had somehow kept it.
Sometimes, he thought that if he had stayed in Qingshi Town for a few more days, perhaps the situation would have been different.
Unfortunately, his imagination could not become reality.
“I can’t wait to meet them.” Prince Anyang laughed heartily.
Then, he stopped smiling and looked at Liang Yu.
“Pack up. Tonight, we will go to Daishi Village..”
