“Then, in just two months, the second season of chilis will be produced, followed by the harvesting of sweet potatoes.”

“Then, it’ll be really busy.”

The corners of Lin Xiaoyue’s mouth curled up. “The first season’s chilies haven’t even been ground into powder, and the second season’s are here again.”

“Then, not only will we have to rush to harvest the chilies, but also the sweet potatoes.”

“After we’re done with all this, there will be sweet potatoes in the manor. Then, it’ll be time to buy more chicks. We’ll have to arrange for more people to be at the chicken farm.”

Li Xiao was shocked.

“The chilis and sweet potatoes will be taken back. Only then can the workshop that produces chili powder continue to increase its output.”

“At the same time, when the sweet potatoes are out, I want to transfer some people over to make sweet potato flour and vermicelli.”

“I’m afraid we won’t have enough manpower.” Lin Xiaoyue said as she frowned.

Then, she looked at Li Xiao. “According to my estimation, after the last season of chili is produced, the remaining dried red chili and sweet potatoes in the manor will be enough for the workshop to process until the new season of chili the next year.”

In other words, the people in the manor would have work to do all year round.

A mere 400 people was not even as many as the people in their village. Of course, that was under the condition that the old and young were not excluded.

She could easily find work for these people.

Li Xiao listened to Lin Xiaoyue’s explanation and knew that she knew the production of chili and sweet potatoes better than him, so he agreed with her.

“One manor can accommodate 400 people, so three manors can only accommodate 1,200 people.” Li Xiao frowned. It was still far from 6,000 people.

However, his expression looked a little better than before.

“One manor is not enough.”

“The First Prince must have recruited you for the sake of the army.”

Li Xiao nodded.

Although half of the army had been lost, their strength was still greater than the other armies in the Great Yan.

Even if there were only 6,000 people left, their combat power would be comparable to 60,000.

Not only did the Emperor want to subdue such an army, but also the First Prince.

“Then ask the First Prince to give me some more manors.” Lin Xiaoyue smiled brightly.

Li Xiao was stunned.

Ask the First Prince to give her some manors? It didn’t seem impossible.

Each manor could take 400 people. If there were 6,000 people, 15 manors would be enough.

Thinking of this, Li Xiao’s expression changed.

Lin Xiaoyue smiled.

“It’s only the chili field that needs a lot of people. Also, Qingshi Town doesn’t have that many manors.”

Because the geographical location of Qingshi Town was too good, manors were expensive.

Li Xiao looked at Lin Xiaoyue in confusion.

If there weren’t so many manors, what was she going to do with the men?

“If the First Prince helps, it shouldn’t be a problem to have two or three more chili manors around Qingshi Town.” Lin Xiaoyue continued. If have six, we can accommodate 2,400 people.”

“In addition, the manor isn’t the only place that they can go. 1 also need people at the stores.”

Li Xiao looked at Lin Xiaoyue again.

“I’m talking about the workshop.” Lin Xiaoyue said.

She couldn’t let the soldiers become shop assistants and let others see them.

It was safest to let them work in the workshop and reduce their chances of going out.

“A workshop that supplies to three stores needs at least one manager and accountant, two assistants who deliver and purchase goods, and six who prepare the food, wash dishes, and do odd jobs.”

“In other words, a workshop needs at least nine people. This was just for the smallest workshop.”

“If there are more stores around the workshop, it will need more people. For example, if the location in Nan’an County is too big, it can accommodate thirty to forty people.”

“In this way, another two or three hundred people can be accommodated. Including the people from the six manors, that’s about three thousand people.”

The remaining ones could go to the manors. Anyway, there were a lot of things to do in the manor, so she could make arrangements.

Li Xiao nodded.

With this arrangement, half of the people had been taken care of.

Lin Xiaoyue continued, “I think having all 6,000 soldiers in Qingshi Town is too eye-catching.”

In fact, 3,000 people were already very eye-catching. However, this was the only way.

Fortunately, she had them stay in the manor to reduce the risk.

“However, Nan’an County is very big. Other than Qingshi Town, there are actually quite a few big towns around. Amongst them, I prefer Taohua Town and Daxi Town..”
