Chapter 104 - One Hundred and Three: A Visitor Arrives
Ye Xinyan lowered her eyelashes, waiting for Jinrong to speak.
Jinrong glanced at Jiang Yifan with a warning look before he said, "About the cow farm you mentioned, Lord Jiang and I have discussed it and believe it to be feasible, benefiting both the nation and the people. Since your small eatery requires an abundant supply of cow’s milk, we’ll leave the management of the cow farm to you. We have come this time to inquire about your specific thoughts."
Ye Xinyan composed herself and said, "Raising cows requires land. I haven’t been to other places, and I don’t know if there are better locations. But to me, there is a large expanse of wasteland to the north of Clear Water Village that is filled with gravel, unsuitable for farming, which could be used to build cattle pens. Of course, if Sixth Master has a better location, that would also be acceptable."
"The rest of the matters will need to be carefully planned. I have never before considered raising such a large number of animals, and even if I start planning now, it will take some time. This is not something that can be accomplished overnight."
Jinrong nodded and said, "Alright, begin your planning now, and by the way, calculate how much silver will be needed for investment. With a figure, we can also allocate the silver to you."
Ye Xinyan looked up at Jinrong, but kept silent. His words made it sound so easy, to let her plan such a big matter without clarifying anything. Was she expected to work for free?
Seeing Ye Xinyan’s indifferent expression, Jinrong remembered that he had not discussed with her the details of running the cow farm. Although it wasn’t necessary to involve Ye Xinyan in this matter, apart from wanting to establish a cow farm, he was also curious to see how capable Ye Xinyan truly was, and what this woman, who had become a laughingstock in the capital, could achieve if provided with adequate resources.
Ye Xinyan had a fine background. If she indeed possessed outstanding abilities, becoming a reliable assistant was not out of the question.
