Lucky Farmer Girl: I rely on metaphysics to support my family

After the grain handover was completed and Zhao Si Gongzi was seen off, Tang Wan returned to her residence for a short rest before setting off back to the Tang family.

Tang Wan waited at the consulting shop for a while, and then set off home after Ding Li arrived.

As soon as Tang Wan got home, she greeted her parents. When her father, Tang Bojun, saw her, his expression was somewhat solemn: "Wan'er is back. Today I received news that Zhou Sicheng has completed his investigation at the Tan family. According to my calculations, they will be able to handle all matters in Mobei in five or six days at most. At that time, I'm afraid they will have to set off to return to the capital to report back."

Upon hearing her father's words, Tang Wan pondered for a moment and suggested, "Could we discuss with Zhou Sicheng about setting off a few days later? Five or six days is indeed too rushed."

Putting everything else aside, I'm afraid we won't be able to gather 500,000 jin of grain all at once, and we'll probably have to start clearing wasteland overnight.

I just don't know how much can be reclaimed this time, or if there will be any restrictions.

Tang Bojun nodded slightly and said, "I will find an opportunity to discuss this with Zhou Sicheng, but in any case, we need to deal with all the family matters as soon as possible."

He paused, then continued, "Your mother and Jing'er have already started packing up the valuables at home, but Wan'er will probably have to work harder on the businesses outside."

Upon hearing this, Tang Wan solemnly replied, "Father, rest assured, I understand!"

"It's good that you have a plan. The cannery, the rouge shop and fortune-telling shop in the prefecture, as well as the supply to Piaoxiang Pavilion, all these various businesses need you to come up with a plan as soon as possible. Whether to take them away, entrust them, or resell them, you need to make a decision early. If there are any errands that need to be run, just let Chen Da do them."

Tang Wan immediately nodded and said, "Father, don't worry, I'll sort it out right away, and then we'll discuss it together and decide on the final plan."

Tang Wan got up to say goodbye and returned to her room. After changing her clothes and tidying up, she spread out paper and pen and listed the current status, value, and manpower of her several properties. She began to think about how to deal with them and the pros and cons.

In the evening, the main hall of the Tang family was brightly lit.

Madam Wang gave a brief overview of the progress of packing up the inner quarters, mainly focusing on the packing of valuables, clothing, and books. Afterwards, everyone's attention turned to Tang Wan.

Tang Wan took out the prepared proposal and slowly said, "Father, Mother, I have some preliminary ideas about the external businesses."

Tang Bojun nodded slightly, signaling Tang Wan to continue.

Tang Wan continued, "The cannery still has some fruit that needs processing. I'm thinking of keeping some people on hand to finish making these canned goods. After that, all the canned goods in the cellar will continue to be sold by the Zhao family, but we need to leave reliable people in Mobei to guard the house."

After all, with two such large cellars of canneries, people have to be kept here.

Even if you can use a simple defensive formation, someone still needs to break the formation and transport the supplies.

Tang Bojun nodded slightly and said, "Okay, as for who to stay, we'll discuss that later."

Tang Wan continued, "The rouge shop and the fortune-telling shop in the prefecture. The rouge shop has a stable business, and Zhu Xi has trained a successor to stay and look after the shop. Moreover, Zhu Xi has also trained new people in the shop, so they can manage the workload. We can also ask Boss Wan to keep an eye on things from the side, and we can direct them remotely. It's just that the fortune-telling shop is a bit special, and I plan to close it down."

Although rouge shops need to deliver goods regularly, they can hire a security escort agency or form their own caravan to deliver them.

However, the consulting shop couldn't handle the situation. If someone really encountered a problem and wanted to find someone from the Xuanmen sect to handle their affairs, Boss Wan and his assistant wouldn't know anything about these things and wouldn't be able to handle it, which would damage their reputation. Tang Bojun understood Tang Wan's concerns and, after a moment's thought, said, "If you find it inconvenient, you can manage both shops. You can also open one back in the capital if you want."

Tang Wan shook her head and said firmly, "I think it's better to keep the rouge shop open. After all, we've put a lot of effort into it. As for the rouge and face powder, we can bring them back from the capital. Even if the cost is slightly higher, it's still feasible."

Tang Bojun, seeing Tang Wan's firm resolve, did not object and said, "Alright, if you don't think it's too much trouble, then keep the rouge shop open. As for the fortune-telling shop, it would be more appropriate to close it. Besides, it was agreed that these two shops would be yours, so you can decide."

Tang Wan shook her head firmly and said, "What are you saying, Father? I never agreed that this shop would be mine. It is only right that I work hard to manage the household and find some way out for the family."

Tang Bojun said in a deep voice, "The rouge shop was your own idea, the rouge in the shop is your own recipe, and even the rouge and face powder were made by you personally. As for the fortune-telling shop, your family did not contribute anything and does not know anything about these things. These are all yours. If you want, the cannery can be considered your family's."

The cannery had at least used the family's peaches, land, and servants; the whole family had been busy working on it. So, considering what was at home, it was too embarrassing to take over both shops entirely.

Tang Wan actually didn't want it. Her grain business, as well as the manor and estate in the prefecture, were all private matters that she hadn't told her family about.

I felt a little guilty about asking for two more shops.

After all, the family doesn't have many businesses now.

Tang Wan looked at her father, then turned to her stepmother, Madam Wang. Seeing this, Madam Wang grasped Tang Wan's hand and said earnestly, "Wan'er, these are all yours. We are able to live the life we ​​have today in the northern desert thanks to your hard work for the family. We only have two shops, and the majority of the property has not been given to you. Just keep them!"

Seeing her parents' firm stance, Tang Wan smiled and replied, "Since you love your daughter so much, then I will accept your offer. Thank you very much, but the money earned from the shop was all public funds, so I absolutely do not want it. Besides, I only want the rouge shop. The fortune-telling shop is going to close anyway, so I might as well rent it out. I don't want it either."

Tang Bojun and Wang Shi exchanged a glance, then Tang Bojun said, "Alright, we'll do as you say!"

Having reached a temporary agreement, Tang Wan continued, "As for supplying poultry to Piaoxiang Pavilion, this business is relatively small, so I think it would be better to give it up."

Initially, I thought the space could be used to raise livestock, and I didn't think of any other business, so I started cooperating with Piaoxiang Pavilion.

Now that we're leaving the northern desert, this recipe is easy to come by, but we can't use the space water to feed the poultry anymore.

Let's just give up and let Piaoxiang Pavilion find ordinary poultry to make medicinal cuisine.

Tang Bojun agreed, "Alright, let's give up on the poultry business. We don't have the energy to do that." After all, not many people can stay in Mobei, and we still need to bring some back to the capital.

After discussing the matter, Tang Bojun pondered for a moment, not having thought of any other issues, and finally made the decision: "Wan'er has thought things through thoroughly, so let's proceed with this plan. Starting tomorrow, Wan'er, you will devote all your efforts to handling these businesses. If you need your father to intervene, please feel free to speak up."

Tang Wan agreed, and then the family began to have dinner.

While eating, Tang Wan suddenly remembered there was something she hadn't done yet. (End of Chapter)
