“Then, we can arrange for the Nangong Army to be stationed in the manor. This way, it won’t be far from us.” Lin Xiaoyue smiled.

There was no need for twelve manors. In fact, Qingshi Town did not have 12 manors.

However, they had to increase the number to leave room for others to bargain.

She really wanted to keep the entire Nangong Army in Qingshi Town.

Previously, she was afraid that they would be too eye-catching, so she wanted to send some of them to Taohua Town and Daxi Town.

But now, Qingshi Town had become Prince Anyang’s fief, so they could act more boldly.

It wasn’t impossible to settle the entire Nangong Army in Qingshi Town.

Liang Yu’s heart skipped a beat.

The smile on Prince Anyang’s face froze again.

“If one manor can accommodate 400 people, 15 manors can accommodate 6,000.”

“It just so happens that 1 need people to work in my manors. The Nangong Army could also be of some help.” Lin Xiaoyue continued.

Hearing this, Prince Anyang and Liang Yu were shocked.

She already made plans for them?

“Since it’s for you, it’s not appropriate for His Highness to provide the manors, right.” Liang Yu said.

His brother-in-law had already promised to give out a lot of money, so he should save as much as he could now. After all, he was the one who paid for it.

Lin Xiaoyue looked at Liang Yu.

“That’s not true.”

She looked at Prince Anyang.

“His Highness only promised to give winter clothes, bedding, and other daily necessities, as well as 20,000 taels of silver for military expenses.”

“The Nangong Army consists of 6,000 soldiers. Even if each person only spends 1 tael of silver a month, the monthly military expenditure would be at least 6,000 taels.”

“20,000 taels of silver can only last at most 3 months.”

“We husband and wife are not that thick-skinned, so we can’t keep asking High Highness for money.” More importantly, he wouldn’t give it to them.

“In this way, won’t the two of us have to bear the military expenses ourselves?” As she spoke, Lin Xiaoyue’s expression once again turned sorrowful.

When Prince Anyang heard these words, he found it difficult to refute.

He had already been tricked by Lin Xiaoyue. He almost forgot that the Nangong Army was the Nangong Clan’s private army. He should not have paid them.

Although Li Xiao suggested that he would hand over the Nangong Army to the Imperial Court in the future, that was in the future.

“Young Master Liang should know what kind of situation the Liu family is in.” As Lin Xiaoyue spoke, she looked at Liang Yu pitifully.

“How much can 2 eateries in Qingshi Town earn? It is already difficult to feed my family, let alone the 6,000 soldiers.”

Liang Yu subconsciously wanted to retort.

Before he could say anything, Lin Xiaoyue said, “a chili workshop is not a bad business.”

“It’s all thanks to Young Master Liang and Third Master Zhou that the workshop could be built.”

“But that will have to wait until next year, we have to wait for the first season of chilies in the manor to be ready before we can start work.”

“It will take at least four months. If we really waited for the workshop to start earning money to subsidize the military expenditure, they would probably starve to death.” At this point, Lin Xiaoyue’s expression became even more sorrowful.

“Besides, the profit isn’t that high. It is hard to say how much we could earn by then.”

Liang Yu wanted to speak again.

However, Lin Xiaoyue would beat him to it.

“It is because I want to feed these soldiers that I racked my brains to figure out how to make money.”

“But after thinking about it, 1 realized I’m depending on the chilis. The plan can only be executed next year…”

That was true.

Be it the chili workshop or the chain stores, they were temporarily unable to open for business.

Of course, collecting franchise fees was an exception.

When Prince Anyang heard this and saw Liang Yu’s appearance, a sense of helplessness arose.

Although Ms. Lin’s performance was pushing it, most of it was true.

Forget it.

“Isn’t it too few to have 400 in 1 manor? Add 100 more in each. Then, we only

need 12 manors for 6,000 people..”
