Chapter 143: Children Who Skillfully Use Schemes

Like this, help me look at two manors not far from Jingdu; preferably larger in area, with mostly sandy fields and a smaller portion of regular fields.

As for the price, we can negotiate.

That manor is too far; taking the children there would draw attention, which is okay, but if we really want to plant something on a large scale, that place probably won't work.

It would also expose some hidden things; the loss would outweigh the gain.

Then we need to find another manor near Jingdu.

The manors belonging to the Regent Prince's Manor are all high-quality fields, with hardly any sandy fields at all—so we have no choice.

Alright, with the miss saying that, I'll leave the capital in the next couple of days to look.

'If I find it, where should I go to find the miss?' Zhang Zhi asked directly; otherwise, after finding the land, where would he look for the person?

His little business can't withstand this!

'Go to the Regent Prince's Manor to find Zi Su.' The person answering him was a always gentle miss, but the place she said……

The Regent Prince's Manor—the person before him, isn't that……

"Small person…"

Before he could kneel, Bai Zhi's long sword wasn't drawn; she directly supported him with it.

"The Princess Consort is going out in disguise; you don't need to salute. As before, so after." Bai Zhi, who used to be lively, is now somewhat silent.

Since the Princess Consort was injured last time, she shut herself in the courtyard and trained fiercely for a month; this month, her whole body is covered in wounds.

Only when Jiang Yunchu passed by did she see that girl's stubbornness, and seeing her covered in wounds made her heart ache terribly.

Afterward, although she left that courtyard, her lively personality changed.

"Yes." Zhang Zhi hastily bowed.

"We're heading back; this afternoon we'll go over the land deed." Jiang Yunchu nodded and got straight into the carriage.

Zi Su followed behind the Princess Consort and also got onto the carriage.

Previously Zhang Zhi sat beside the coachman, but now he doesn't know where to sit.

"Get on the carriage; I'll send you to the tooth shop." Bai Zhi gave him a cold glance and said nothing else.

Zhang Zhi could only jump onto the carriage and sit with the coachman; earlier he had been chatting with the coachman.

On the way back, it was unusually quiet.

When they arrived at the Wang Fu, it was already noon, but the group of children were all standing in the Rhyme Courtyard waiting.

"Dean!"

Hearing the commotion outside, Ning Hanmo immediately stepped forward.

"Why don't you rest inside?" Although the weather has cooled, at noon it's still quite hot.

"We're waiting for you." Ning Hanmo replied, then wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Jiang Yunchu raised an eyebrow, brought a group of children, and entered the house.

"This is our expense sheet; this morning we went to the tooth shop, also asked a tooth intermediary, inquired about the price, and also asked about the situation."

"On the back of that paper is the silver money we each contributed; everyone's amount differs, and later we will also distribute profits according to proportion."

Kang Zhi Chun explained on the side; each item, each requirement, she explained clearly.

Although what they handed in wasn't standard and even looked a bit messy, the meaning expressed was very clear.

"Has the land been chosen?"

She had seen many sandy fields today; seeing their estimated price, it was actually a bit higher than what she paid for sandy fields.

However, estimating, the tooth shop they went to is also a large one, so the fees naturally would be higher, and moreover the land they bought is not large.

"Did you buy it yourselves?" Jiang Yunchu asked, somewhat surprised.

Ning Hanmo shook his head: "No, we went to the tooth shop to ask, but those tooth shop people, seeing we were children, basically ignored us."

"Especially when we said we wanted sandy fields." Kang Wu added on the side.

Afterward, Kang Wen immediately added, "They even told us to go play off to the side."

Jiang Yunchu pressed the corners of her lips, looking at the children's helpless faces, "And then?"

"Later, I went to find my great-aunt." Kang Zhi Xia answered.

"Why not her mother?" Her mother refused because she doesn't understand business and can't judge land quality.

Moreover, she pointed them the way to go find the great-aunt.

The great-aunt herself is a miss from a merchant family, naturally far stronger at business than they are.

Furthermore, the household also has someone specially in charge of manors, who can judge land quality; they don't just want to buy land, they want to buy good land.

Otherwise, they could end up losing everything.

"Oh?" Jiang Yunchu was somewhat surprised; these kids actually knew to seek outside help.

"My mother sent a person in charge of manors to go with us to the tooth shop, and we also went to see the sandy fields, confirming that the moisture of those sandy fields wasn't too bad, not far from water sources, enough for us to toss around, and only then did we buy them." Kang Ziwei answered with a beaming smile.

Jiang Yunchu saw their expressions one by one, then nodded and answered in agreement: "Your idea is good; if you don't understand, you can find someone who does; if you can't do it, you can humbly ask those who know."

"When three walk together, there must be my teacher among them; I select the good to follow, and the bad to correct."

To be frank, regarding this project, from when they proposed negotiations to start until now, she is very satisfied with everything.

Even so, after their negotiation failed, they weren't discouraged; instead they proposed another cooperation model, collective investment.

When one prospers, all prosper; when one suffers, all suffer.

No one specially taught them, but they were able to use their own knowledge to get this far; that is where their success lies.

"I will strictly follow the Dean's teachings."

The children together bent their bodies, then performed a student salute, only then rising to look at Jiang Yunchu.

How could they not be proud of themselves for having come this far?

Six months ago, they were just kids who only knew how to cause trouble and play; now, looking at peers their age and then at themselves, they feel they live like a person, not a marionette.

They know who they most need to be grateful to, and they also know that they have been subtly influenced, turned into who they are now, by someone behind them who has worried themselves sick.

They are young, but the younger a person is, the more they can feel others' sincerity.

"How did you decide on the fertilizing situation?" Jiang Yunchu looked at each little radish head; they were proud of themselves, and how could she not be proud of them?

"Hehe…" At that moment, Kang Wen suddenly covered his mouth, yet still let out a laugh.

Jiang Yunchu raised an eyebrow, "What's going on?"

"Dean, it's like this."

"The land beside the sandy plot we bought belongs to Kang Fu." Kang Zhi Chun hurriedly replied.

Then they said again…

"We have told the big aunt about our investment, and we also exchanged washing dishes and vegetables for Kang Fu's support; we will teach people to raise livestock, and then teach them to spread fertilizer."

But this labor is something we exchanged with our own work, so we don't need to pay extra money.

After Kang Zhi Chun finished speaking, they then cautiously looked toward Jiang Yunchu.
