Hot Farmer’s Wife: Buying a Husband for the Farm

King Anyang looked at Lin Xiaoyue with a smile, thinking that Lin Xiaoyue would definitely respond, but saw her complex expression.

"This...because only the chain stores in Nan'an County are currently planned, there are only 28 franchise places for the time being."

One shot is 10,000 taels, and the prince deserves to be the prince.

The expressions of King Anyang and Liang Yu changed at the same time.

On the way here, Shopkeeper Liang had already told them the situation.

But they thought that there are ten counties in Nan'an County, and each county can open a lot of chain stores.

When they came to send money, Lin Xiaoyue would refuse without reason.

Unexpectedly, she actually refused.

"Nan'an County is a big place. In addition to Nan'an County, other counties are also very prosperous. For the remaining 22 stores, this king can join and go to other counties." Anyang Wang said.

Liang Yu also looked at Lin Xiaoyue nervously.

Lin Xiaoyue was embarrassed.

"This……"

"Why, Lin Dong's family didn't plan to open chain stores in other counties?" King Anyang's brows furrowed, and his tone increased.

"Naturally not." Lin Xiaoyue hurriedly saluted King Anyang.

"It's just that there are no plans to recruit too many franchisees."

"Minwomen are still quite confident in 'getting up fast', so they are limited by the capital in hand, so they release some franchise stores to accelerate brand building."

"But when the brand effect comes out, more franchise stores will be opened or—" Lin Xiaoyue glanced at King Anyang carefully.

"In other words, it is not worthwhile to continue to open franchise stores at low prices."

"After all, the profits of directly-operated stores can be much higher than that of franchise stores. With sufficient capital, I will slowly open stores and expand, and I may make more money."

King Anyang understood, and his face sank.

So, do you mean you want to increase the price?

"Cough, just open the dozens of franchise stores in Nan'an County. How can you support the Chiwu Army? At least two more counties must be opened!"

As soon as Lin Xiaoyue looked at King Anyang, he heard King Anyang continue: "That's it. The remaining franchise stores in Nan'an County are reserved by this king. The other two counties have been divided between Benwang and Liang's firm."

Seeing that Lin Xiaoyue was about to speak, King Anyang said again: "I'll give you 20,000 taels first. For the rest, wait until the specific number of franchise stores is determined, and then make up."

Lin Xiaoyue:——

With an uncomfortable expression, he bowed to King Anyang.

"Yes." It looked like he was having a hard time accepting it.

Seeing that King Anyang was in a happy mood.

Liang Yu, who was beside him, was also in a good mood at the moment.

He didn't think that Lin Xiaoyue really felt so uncomfortable when she acted like this, but seeing her like this made her feel happy.

Afterwards, Lin Xiaoyue signed contracts with King Anyang and Liang Yu respectively.

The deed is signed, and things are almost done.

Liang Yu only said that things would be done within three days, and the bank notes and land deeds were delivered, and then she left with the shopkeeper Liang and the king of Anyang.

When he was leaving, King Anyang also asked two guards to follow Lin Xiaoyue to the kitchen and took a lot of braised pork, bacon and sausages.

The couple stood on the side of the road to send off the carriage, looked at each other, and both laughed.

"I've opened my eyes today, my wife is eloquent, and my husband admires it!" Li Xiao clasped his fists and said to Lin Xiaoyue.

Lin Xiaoyue glanced at Li Xiao, "That's it!"

After speaking, Aojiao turned her head and walked towards the courtyard gate.

Li Xiao smiled and quickly followed.

But I don't know, at this time, the smile on Lin Xiaoyue's face has disappeared, and she still sighed deeply in her heart.

Are you eloquent?

Naturally great.

He succeeded in getting the King of Anyang to agree to pay for the rescue of the Chiwu Army, return living materials, nine Zhuangzi and 20,000 taels of military expenses.

In addition, there was a joining fee of 20,000 taels of silver.

The sum of all these money is worth more than 200,000 taels of silver. Even for Liang's firm, it is not a small amount.

But these are really just enough for them.

She complained to King Anyang that she was under pressure to raise 6,000 people, but it was not fake.

This time I asked Anyang King for so many things, and it would be difficult to ask him to ask him later.

Next, it's really up to them.

In addition, if the border is delayed for another day, the situation of the Chiwu Army will be a little more dangerous.

When King Anyang has settled the matter, they will have to rush to the border.

Yes, she wants to go with Li Xiao.

the next day.

Early in the morning, Lin Xiaoyue and Li Xiao went to Qingshi Town.

Entering the city from the West Gate, the carriage crossed two streets before reaching the destination.

Li Xiao stretched out his hand and helped Lin Xiaoyue down from the carriage.

Lin Xiaoyue saw that in front of him was a rather grand mansion, with the words "Liu Mansion" written on the plaque.

She recognized the trace, Li Xiao's.

I was a little moved in my heart when three people came out of the door.

The middle-aged man at the head was dressed as a housekeeper, and the other two were dressed as servants.

"The old slave has seen the young lady, uncle!" The middle-aged man stepped forward and saluted Lin Xiaoyue and Li Xiao.

Lin Xiaoyue looked at Li Xiao.

Seeing Li Xiaochong nodding to himself, he looked at the middle-aged man.

"Director Fang doesn't need to be polite, let's go in and talk." He said.

Yes, Mr. Fang.

True identity, Chief of the Chiwu Army. He has been in charge of the Nangong family property before.

After getting in touch with Li Xiao, Director Fang went to Qingshi Town.

After that, he stayed in this house in Qingshi Town and followed Li Xiao's arrangement.

"Miss Xie! Miss, uncle, please!" Manager Fang made a "please" gesture.

The two entered the Liu Mansion.

After entering the door, Director Fang motioned the two servants to stare at the door, and followed Li Xiao and Lin Xiaoyue to the study.

After Lin Xiaoyue entered the door, she was observing the house.

It was found that the house was very large and there were many people.

Yes, many people.

And they also kill each other, it looks very difficult to mess with.

Director Fang followed behind the two and deliberately observed Lin Xiaoyue's reaction.

Finding that she didn't show any fear, she recognized the mistress a little more in her heart.

The general king is dead, and the young master is now their new master.

The young master became a relative, and the young master's wife was their new mistress.

When he first arrived in Qingshi Town, when he learned the identity of the mistress, he also held injustice against the mistress and felt that the mistress was not worthy of the mistress.

But later, knowing what happened to the mistress, and seeing the mistress's mind and methods, he only felt that the master's vision was really good.

These people have been looking forward to seeing the mistress for a long time, and today can be regarded as looking forward to the mistress.

When we got to the study, the door was still guarded.

One of the handsome men saw Li Xiao and Lin Xiaoyue coming, and his face was filled with joy.

"I have seen the master, I have seen the mistress!" Then he brought the two people behind him forward, and knelt down on one knee to the couple.

Lin Xiaoyue was shocked.

Seeing Li Xiao beside him, he nodded to himself.

"Get up." So he rushed to the man and waited for humanity.

"Thank you, Mistress!" The man said immediately, getting up.

"Mistress, my subordinates and others have come to expect you!" The man looked at Lin Xiaoyue, and the joy in his eyes could not be hidden at all.

However, Li Xiao frowned.

"cough--"

Following Li Xiao's light cough as a reminder, the man looked at Li Xiao, not only was he not afraid, but his expression turned into a sorrowful expression.

"Cousin-in-law, look at my cousin, as soon as you come here, you will give me a black face." Then, she even said to Lin Xiaoyue.

Lin Xiaoyue was shocked.

Looking at Li Xiao.

Cousin?

Li Xiao rolled his eyes at the man, and nodded to Lin Xiaoyue again.

Then strode towards the study.

"Come in." Shen said.

With a smile on his face, the man quickly ran to Lin Xiaoyue's side.

"Hehe, cousin-in-law, I'm Henry Zhang! Cousin's only cousin!" Chong Lin Xiaoyue introduced.

"Oh, cousin, hello!" Lin Xiaoyue returned Henry Zhang with a smile.

What's going on? Li Xiao also has a cousin? I haven't heard him mention it before.

"Hehe, cousin-in-law, you are so beautiful! It's strange that cousin didn't bring you here for a long time, and he hid too tightly..." Henry Zhang said to Lin Xiaoyue in a pleasing manner.

When he said the second half of the sentence, he glared at Li Xiao's back.

Before, my aunt and cousin were worried that my cousin would not be able to find a daughter-in-law, but now, they have found someone who is so capable and so handsome...

Hey, I suddenly feel a little sour in my heart, what's going on?

"Uh, my cousin is rude." Lin Xiaoyue replied a little embarrassedly.

I found that the more I looked at Henry Zhang, the more I felt that he looked like an animal.

"It's not wrong! My cousin's appearance is not an exaggeration to say that she is one in ten thousand. Does my cousin have any sisters in the family?" Having said this, Henry Zhang looked at Lin Xiaoyue with burning eyes.

He had just arrived, and he had only heard that his cousin had an amazing talent in business and was able to do a good job.

When he saw his cousin today, he was truly astonished.

If there are sisters in the cousin's family, can he propose marriage?

He is eighteen and has been staying in the border barracks.

All day long, not even a mother can be seen.

Now that I have finally come back, can't we seize the time to become a parent?

Even a terrifying cousin like his cousin can marry a beautiful daughter-in-law. There's no reason why he can't!

"Shut up." Li Xiao in front of him couldn't take it any longer, and said angrily.

The momentum on his body stunned Henry Zhang for a moment.

"Come here." Taking advantage of this moment, Li Xiao waved to Lin Xiaoyue.

Lin Xiaoyue breathed a sigh of relief and quickly went to Li Xiao's side.

This cousin is too enthusiastic, she can't bear it.

Henry Zhang came back to his senses and just wanted to express his dissatisfaction with Li Xiao.

"Close the door." Li Xiao said again in a commanding tone.

"Yes." Then the conditioned reflex was normal, and he actually responded.

Someone frowned, hating himself for making a habit.

But he turned around and closed the door.

When he closed the door and came back, Li Xiao had already sat down with Lin Xiaoyue.

At this time, Li Xiao was full of momentum, and Henry Zhang didn't dare to smile again.

Henry Zhang and Manager Fang glanced at each other.

Then, the two stepped forward and bowed to Li Xiao and Lin Xiaoyue.

"This subordinate has seen the master, mistress!"

"No gift." Li Xiao said.

The two got up.

"I came here to discuss with you about taking back the Chiwu Army." Li Xiao said directly.

As soon as these words came out, Henry Zhang and Manager Fang were stunned.

Especially Henry Zhang, there was a surprise in his eyes.

"Really? The master has made up his mind?!" He looked at Li Xiao.

Since the accident at Nangong's house, the brothers had long wanted to evacuate the border.

It's just due to various reasons, plus the fact that the master didn't speak, the brothers didn't dare to act rashly.

He came back from the border this time, on behalf of the army generals, and came back to inquire about the specific situation.

But he was left here by Director Fang, and he didn't even see the master's face.

That's why the master came with the mistress today, otherwise he wouldn't be able to sit still, and he was going to go to the door to find the master.

Mainly, brothers at the border, I really can't take it anymore.

There are not enough cotton coats to wear, and some brothers are so cold that they dare not go out of the tent.

Short of food, the horses were almost slaughtered.

If they drag on, they will collapse by themselves before Emperor Yan can take action against them.

Manager Fang also looked at Li Xiao excitedly.

"Yeah." Jian Li Xiao replied.

Then, he told the two of them the result of their negotiation with King Anyang.

The two were surprised.

This... can it be like this?

Sell ​​yourself into a slave, and use the slave transportation route of Zhou's Yaxing to escape back?

This... sounds incredible.

But when you think about it, it's actually quite reliable.

Zhou's Tooth Shop was the private property of Emperor Yan, and the inspections in various places were the most relaxed. Taking this route to escape, the probability of being discovered is the least.

"Zhou Ji will arrive in Nan'an County in three days. At that time, the Anyang Palace will find him as soon as possible."

"We are just waiting for the news from the prince. As long as the news is confirmed, we can get up and go to the border." Li Xiao continued.

Henry Zhang and Manager Fang glanced at each other, "Yes!" Li Xiao clasped his fists and saluted excitedly.

After a while, a look of worry appeared on Mr. Fang's face.

"Brothers come back, resettlement..."

A smile appeared on Li Xiao's face, and then he turned to look at Lin Xiaoyue.

Lin Xiaoyue then looked at Director Fang and Henry Zhang, and told the Chiwu Army's resettlement plan.

"The winter clothes and cotton wool for the winter have already been arranged by the lord. Zhuangzi will build some houses and make a whole shop when the time comes, so that people can live there."

"There are a lot of things on Zhuangzi, and people have to get busy when they arrive. Building houses, reclaiming wasteland, there are many things..."

Manager Fang smiled, "Don't be afraid of this, it's a good thing to do something."

Lin Xiaoyue nodded.

Then, I also talked about my plan for Zhuangzi, the pepper product workshop and the chain store.

Hearing that, Director Fang and Henry Zhang were amazed.

In fact, the two of them had actually heard about Lin Xiaoyue from Li Xiao's mouth and inquired about some of Lin Xiaoyue's situation before. I also admire Lin Xiaoyue in my heart.

But now hearing Lin Xiaoyue's arrangement, I only feel that their mistress is just talented, she is a genius!

"I heard from your husband that apart from the confiscated property of the Nangong family, you have already disposed of the rest." Suddenly, Lin Xiaoyue rushed to Fang's main channel.

"Yes." Manager Fang replied, feeling a little heavy.

The Nangong family had accumulated for generations, and the Chiwu Army's money bag was completely destroyed in his hands.

"In terms of manpower, I heard that there are not many losses?" Lin Xiaoyue asked.

"Yes. Only 21 people have been damaged. At present, there are still 378 people under the old slave."

Lin Xiaoyue's heart moved.

"Would you like to listen to my orders and help me manage the snack workshop?" he said.

Manager Fang was stunned for a moment, then looked happy.

"The mistress has an order, the Chiwu army is up and down, there is no one who will not obey!" Immediately, he knelt down at Lin Xiaoyue on one knee.

Director Fang's kneeling was really convincing.

Before, he was worried about the evacuation of the Chiwu Army. After learning that the evacuation problem could be solved, he was worried about the placement of the Chiwu Army.
