Next day.
Lin Xuan Qi woke up to servants ready to help him with everything.
There was a servant with a water towel and other items for cleaning up waiting.
And there was another servant with a set of new clothes by the side.
Xue Cong must have arranged for them to serve him, but he waved them off for the ti being.
Not that he didn’t want to enjoy luxury, he just wasn’t used to soone that wasn’t close to him changing for him...
He began to think of what it would be like if it was Xue Cong, Yue Jie, Yue Xin and Liu Shi Shi.
When imagery of the four of them attending to him appeared in his mind, he shook his head and thought that maybe it’s better not to.
He might not get out of bed for the day.
After the servants got out of his room, he stood up with a yawn and stretched his hands.
It was a peaceful sleep the night before.
With everything he had planned and executed, all he had to do was wait for the results to co in today.
He cleaned himself, changed into a new set of clothes, and got out of his room.
Outside of his room, the mansion was bustling with activities.
Senior servants were still teaching the new servants how to do their chores, and the mansion finally began to have the look of a mansion worthy of a clan.
After the recruitnt drive he had with the dispensing of the charity porridge, he had recruited a total of eighty n and won from it.
Out of the eighty n and won, there were fifty skilled workers for the two new factories and thirty servants for the mansion.
And with the increase, the daily amount of rice given by the system had increased to one ton and four hundred forty-four kilograms of rice.
But it was not over, he had plans to increase the number of guards, since there was more to protect with the increase in his workers and servants.
"Master Lin, you must be starving, breakfast is ready." Xue Cong greeted him when she saw him enter the dining hall.
He glanced at her and gave her a nod.
Everything had been running smoothly so far, and he was glad that she was able to take on all the new responsibilities.
Yue Jie was sitting close to her with his seat empty in between.
He was also impressed with her.
Not only was she able to budget everything, but she was also able to take on the new servants for the sewing and handiwork.
He also gave her a nod and sat between them.
The other servants looked with envy while they did their chores in the dining hall.
Young Master Lin was handso, and he didn’t mind taking servants as his wife and concubine.
They would give up anything to be in the position of Xue Cong or Yue Jie.
But all they could do was envy and hope.
Master Lin didn’t seem interested in any of them ever since they ca to the mansion.
Unknown to them was that Yue Xin and Liu Shi Shi would be his concubines soon and he wouldn’t want to have the headache and hassle to deal with more than four won.
Even though all of them were cordial with each other and had his interests in their mind.
He already had too many things on his plate to be able to take in more.
Yue Xin, Liu Shi Shi, Zhi Yong and the others also ca into the dining hall for breakfast soon after.
They were busy supervising the new servants and had to spend more ti with them.
"Are there any issues you face with the new servants?" Lin Xuan Qi asked and they shook their heads.
"Master, teach new servants Lin Clan rules." Zhi Yong sat straight with his head up being proud that he was able to do so.
Lin Xuan Qi gave him a smile and nodded.
Zhi Yong had co a long way from when he joined the mansion.
"They are all hardworking and willing to learn, there’s not much trouble." Yue Xin said while she glanced at the empty table, feeling disappointed.
Liu Shi Shi gave out a sigh and frowned at Lin Xuan Qi.
Her scheduling of the guards was already tight, and she had to try and crack her head to accommodate the increase in the number of servants.
He figured what she was frowning at, so he smiled at her and said, "Don’t worry, I was about to ask you to find twenty more guards for the mansion and all the factories."
"Really?" Liu Shi Shi asked, and she cheered up a little at the news.
But it was Yue Jie’s turn to frown.
"Master Lin the allowance..." She reminded him that with the increase in servants and workers, there would be allowances to be paid for and also the other relevant costs involved, like the food for them.
And there wasn’t much money coming in so far in recent days.
Lin Xuan Qi gave her an assurance and said, "I expect so good news soon, so don’t be worried about the costs."
He turned over to Liu Shi Shi and continued, "Ask around and get twenty more guards for the mansion, the offer will be the sa as for those current guards."
Liu Shi Shi nodded her head and replied, "I will get it done, there are more disciples from the Yi i Sect and the Storm Fist Thunder Sect with nothing much to do.
"It shouldn’t be an issue."
With the current guards being satisfied with their jobs so far, she figured they would be able to entice more of these wandering martial arts fighters who wanted a change easily.
Xue Cong shook her head and said to him, "You haven’t had breakfast.
"It’s best to discuss this after you’ve eaten."
She glanced over at one of the servant girls, and the servant girl quickly headed for the kitchen.
"Sure...Mistress Xue Cong, I shall not do it again." Lin Xuan Qi teased her but was glad to have her care for him.
It wasn’t much, but the sense of belonging felt great to him.
