Chapter 175 What do you want to do?
Among Yun Gansong's three children, Yun Lingzhi is actually the ruthless one.
He has ambition, brains, and the ability to take action.
It’s a pity that in Yun Gansong’s heart, she is just a daughter and he only uses her as a chess piece.
Although he also taught and trained him, he did not devote as much energy to him as he did to Yun Qingmu, treating him as the hope of the family.
After all, if a girl can have a good marriage and add a strong in-law to the family, then she has fulfilled the value of her existence.
Although Yun Fuling didn't think Yun Qingmu could pose much of a threat to her, she did not take it lightly.
She said to Zhang Sanmu, "Have someone keep an eye on Yun Qingmu, too."
"Tell your men to pay more attention and see if they can get accurate information from inside the Yun residence."
Yun Fuling knew that Zhang Sanmu had gathered a group of street thugs under his command.
As the saying goes, cats have their ways and mice have their ways. If these gangsters are used well, they can exert unimaginable power.
Although Yun Qingmu is not a capable person, when he comes back this time and learns about their family's recent experiences, there is no guarantee that he will not do something.
After all, according to Yun Gansong's original ambition and plan, he would regard the entire Jichunhou Mansion as his own.
As Yun Gansong's only son, Yun Qingmu naturally benefited from it.
Compared with the son of a commoner, the son of a marquisate, or even the eldest son of a marquisate, is of course more attractive.
Yun Fuling must be guarded against.
After Zhang Sanmu finished his report, it was Boss Wu's turn.
Boss Wu was recently ordered to inspect the farms and shops that Yun Fuling had taken back.
"Madam Yun, I have checked all the farms and shops."
"Most of the village heads on the farm are from Yun Gansong. Some of them may not seem to be related to him on the surface, but they are secretly connected to him in complicated ways."
"The same is true for the shops. Since you, Madam Yun, took over, the business of those shops has started to deteriorate. The accounts reported are not even half of the previous profits."
“I wrote down all the circumstances.”
Yun Fuling took the booklet presented by Boss Wu and saw that the words on it were crooked and ugly, but at least she could still recognize what they were.
Yun Fuling couldn't help but say something off topic, "Boss Wu, you need to practice your handwriting more."
Boss Wu also knew that his handwriting was not good, so he shyly replied "yes".
Yun Fuling turned to look at Zhang Sanmu and Xu Dong and said, "You two too, not only should you learn to read from the teacher, but you should also practice writing more often."
"It's good for you too."
"If you stay with me, I will ask you to do more and more important things in the future. If you can't even do the most basic things like reading and writing, how can I trust you to do important things?"
The three of them responded in unison, promising to learn to read and practice writing well.
In the past, they would not have dared to think that they would be able to learn to read in this lifetime.
But now Yun Fuling has specially hired a teacher, and anyone under her who wants to learn to read can go and learn.
Boss Wu naturally cherishes such an opportunity very much.
It’s just that they have only been learning for a short time. They know a lot of characters, but the characters they write are hardly legible.
Yun Fuling added, "It just so happens that I have to send a letter and some things back to Shuanglin Village recently. You must miss Kang Mingyuan too. You can write a letter to him after you go back and send it over together."
After saying that, he did not forget to add, "Kang Mingyuan is much more hardworking than the rest of you. You all read the letter he sent last time. His handwriting is much better than yours."
Boss Wu and his men responded awkwardly.
But at the thought of being able to send the letter back, they couldn't help but feel happy.
After talking about the digression, Yun Fuling returned to the main topic.
"Replace the village heads of all the villages. Select someone from the tenant farmers first. If he does a good job, he will be the village head. If he doesn't do well, we will replace him with someone else."
"I don't believe that all those tenant farmers are Yun Gansong's people."
"It just so happens that the autumn harvest is over, so I have marked out a few plots of land to plant medicinal herbs."
"Those tenant farmers have nothing to do anyway, so I'll ask them to grow medicinal herbs for me, and I'll pay them according to the market price."
If Yun Gansong can bribe a few village heads, can he bribe all the tenant farmers?
The number of tenant farmers is much larger than that of village heads. There is only one village head in a village, but there are hundreds of tenant farmers.
What's more, with more than a dozen farms added together, the number of tenant farmers would be even more considerable.
I think even if Yun Gansong wanted to bribe them, he couldn't bribe so many people.
For these tenant farmers at the bottom of society, they will be loyal to whoever can provide them with food and clothing.
So as long as Yun Fuling can show them that there is meat to eat if they follow her, she will not be afraid that these people will not listen to her.
What's more, she had discussed it with Xiao Jingyi, and Xiao Jingyi had already started to transfer retired soldiers to her.
Soon she had no shortage of help.
If there were any daring tenant farmers who wanted to cause trouble, she wouldn't mind taking back the land and driving them away.
Anyway, it is the slack season for farming now and there is still some time before the spring plowing next year.
This period of time was enough for her to get all the farms in order.
As for shops, they are more troublesome than farms.
Yun Fuling took a look at the account books handed in by the shops and said, "Tell all the shop owners that if they still cannot recover their previous store profits by the end of the month, they can pack up and leave."
"This is my only chance. I haven't changed my shop or signboard, and I'm still selling the same things. How come my profits have been cut in half?"
"Do you think I, your boss, am easy to bully?"
"If they miss their previous masters, they can just get out and go to their old masters!"
"Change the shop owner and choose someone from the shop owners to take over."
"Inform everyone that I will employ people who are capable. Even if he is just a small clerk, as long as he is capable, he can become the head shopkeeper!"
Boss Wu's eyes lit up when he heard this.
After Yun Fuling used these tricks, she was not afraid that the people below would dare to cause trouble.
Especially the shop owners. Let alone trying to stir up trouble and bring trouble to Madam Yun, they will probably have to rack their brains to improve the business of their shops, and they also have to be careful about being replaced by the people below them.
Just as I finished talking about the farm shop, Yaoguang came over.
Yun Fuling gave a few more instructions and asked Boss Wu and others to leave.
After Boss Wu and his men left, Yun Fuling waved and called Yaoguang over, asking, "Is Yun Shanhu gone?"
Yaoguang shook her head and told Yunshanhu the truth about her meeting with her.
"Princess, Yun Shanhu's reaction is really strange."
"She refused to leave and said she was grateful to you and wanted to stay to repay you."
"What do you think she wants to do?"
Yun Fuling raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Do you believe what she said?"
Yaoguang sneered, "She is a person with evil intentions, selfish and vicious, who can even betray her own parents."
"Princess, you cured her face but it was just a deal. How could she be grateful to you for that?"
