Chapter 230 World 3102
We need to send more people to the estate. With such a large estate, if we don't have enough manpower, not only will it be difficult to manage the planting, but also the safety of tourists will be hard to guarantee.
Thinking about the word "safety," Yin Yin had some ideas: "Among the tenants on the estate, those who are willing to work should be kept, but those of low character should not be kept."
"You can handle the rest yourself, but if there are any strong men or women, make a separate list and report it to me. Then we'll have them trained, and the safety of the estate will be guaranteed."
Dongxin thought that Yinyin was planning to ask Gu Anzhi or Zhanzheng to find someone to help with the training, but unexpectedly, after everyone was found, Yinyin directly gave the training task.
Dongxin was surprised for a moment, then did as Yinyin instructed. After all, these were people whose contracts were in her hands, and no matter how well they trained, it was only right that they entertained Yinyin.
Yinyin didn't know what Dongxin was thinking, but as long as she carried out her orders completely, that was fine.
However, to Dongxin's surprise, these people actually achieved results by following Yinyin's method, but their daily food expenses were increasing.
Dongxin came specifically to Yinyin to report this.
While teasing Xiao Bei'an, Yin Yin said, "I can afford this amount of money. Just keep an eye on things and make sure the people under you don't skimp on it. These people are trained to protect our whole family."
Dongxin stopped worrying about the extra money spent and instead asked Yinyin when she planned to go to the estate.
Yinyin thought for a while and set the date after the Mid-Autumn Festival. The weather would be cool by then, but it wouldn't be snowing yet.
When the wind isn't too strong, I can take Xiao Bei'an outside for a walk. And since Mid-Autumn Festival is over, Yu Miaoqi isn't busy, so we can stay a little longer.
After setting the date, Yin Yin immediately sent a letter to the Zhan residence.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, Gu Anzhi went to the Northern Army first, while Yinyin and Yu Miaoqi went to the manor.
“It’s autumn again, and the scenery outside seems to have changed little since we returned to the capital,” Yu Miaoqi said, turning her gaze back to Yin Yin and then smiling at Xiao Bei’an, who was sucking his thumb beside her. “But I’m getting older year by year.”
“Isn’t Mother as young as ever? Where is she old?” Yin Yin hated hearing her say that. “You think you’re old just because in recent years your eldest brother got married and had nephews and nieces, and you’ve been promoted in the seniority. So you’ve been choosing old-fashioned and conservative colors and styles for your daily clothes.”
"But if you ask me, Mother, if you just change your clothes and put on those jewelry you used to like, you'll know that you haven't changed at all."
"How many jars of honey did you eat today?" Yu Miaoqi couldn't help but touch the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes when she laughed. "Look at these lines, they can't be hidden anymore. How can I dress like I did when I was young?"
“Who says you can’t? I’ve kept all the old clothes and hairpins that I left at the estate. I’ve also had some new ones made for you. You’ll see when you put them on,” Yinyin wiped Xiao Bei’an’s hands with a handkerchief. “Besides, those aren’t creases, they’re the marks of time. The more they’re left, the more charming they become.”
Yu Miaoqi felt comfortable with what she said, but she was also a little embarrassed, so she started talking about some everyday things, and Yin Yin listened obediently.
After talking for a while, Yu Miaoqi was also a little tired. It had been a long time since she had ridden in a carriage like this, and she was quite exhausted. Especially since she was concerned about her image, she could only use a large cushion to support herself and lean back slightly. Therefore, after arriving at the estate, Yu Miaoqi went back to rest first.
By evening, before Yin Yin had even gone to Yu Miaoqi's courtyard, she saw Gu Anzhi enter the door, looking thoughtful.
Yinyin asked someone to bring him some ordinary clothes so he could change, and then asked, "Did something happen? You've changed your clothes, but you still seem distracted."
Upon hearing her words, Gu Anzhi wiped his hands with a handkerchief and asked, "Yinyin, where did you find all these servants on our estate? Are they reliable?"
Yinyin smiled subtly, then quickly wiped it away, feigning confusion: "It was all Dongxin and his wife who went to find them, so their identities should have been verified. The indentures are all in my hands. Why are you suddenly asking about this?"
"How did they find them?" Gu Anzhi asked with interest. "I see that everyone on our estate, regardless of gender, is well-proportioned, strong, and agile. Or do we have some good instructors on our estate?"
Yinyin rolled her eyes, sat up straight, and cleared her throat: "I don't know if there are any good coaches, but as for the methods, they are all given by me and they just follow them."
Ok?
Gu Anzhi believed it without a doubt and went straight to Yin Yin's side: "Yin Yin, tell me quickly how they trained, I want to see if the Northern Army can use it."
Yinyin thought for a moment and said, "It can be used, but it costs a lot. I put a lot of effort into their diet so that they could train well in a short time. Otherwise, they are not well-prepared and will be thin and pale from hunger. No matter how they train, they will not be able to improve."
Gu Anzhi didn't pay much attention to this. The emperor allocated a lot of money and food to the Northern Army, and since the general of the Northern Army was him, a prince, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Revenue didn't dare to touch it. Everything was distributed in full, so the Northern Army was not poor at all.
Seeing this, Yinyin told Gu Anzhi about the plan she had been preparing for some time, and also specifically mentioned some things that had not been implemented on the estate.
"The people in our village are only good at maintaining the safety of the village and making sure that we and the guests don't get into trouble. We don't expect them to fight or fight with anyone. So we've taught them some archery, but they've never practiced any warfare on the battlefield."
“But if you plan to go back and have the Northern Army train like this, then these things can’t be skipped. After all, His Majesty created the Northern Army not just for show, but for other purposes as well.”
Gu Anzhi nodded in agreement, his face full of surprise. He kissed Yin Yin and then looked at her and said, "Brother-in-law is right. I am blessed to have married you, Yin Yin."
Gu Anzhi immediately called Dongxin over and asked her a few questions. He learned that in addition to their guard duties, the people on the estate also had night training. He immediately went to check on them.
"Yinyin, are you going or not?"
“Go,” Yinyin stood up and walked alongside him. “I’ve been too busy these days, and I’ve only given instructions; I haven’t gone to see it for myself yet.”
Chunrui brought in the newly awakened Bei'an, only to see the couple give a few words of advice and then leave like a gust of wind. She had no choice but to take the little master to Yu Miaoqi first.
The training grounds for the people in the village were quite remote and secluded, far from where Yinyin and the others lived. It required crossing two hills in the village to reach them, so the couple ordered horses to be prepared.
Gu Anzhi originally wanted to ride with Yinyin, but Yinyin refused.
Yinyin wasn't wearing riding attire, but the agility with which she mounted the horse and the fluttering hem of her clothes added a touch of unrestrained youthful energy.
Yinyin held the reins and looked back; the bright red sun was right behind her.
Yinyin's vibrant energy made her even more dazzling than the sun at that moment.
Gu Anzhi couldn't take his eyes off her for a moment.
