Chapter 324: Chapter 304, Well-spoken_1
“`
After deciding on the land to purchase, Xiaoliu led the village head to the county town. The County Governor’s Office sent a government officer to measure the tract of land, and on the same day, Daohua got the deed.
In total, she bought five thousand mu of land, costing five thousand taels of silver.
Yan Zhiqiang didn’t buy land; the land here wasn’t very good. If he wanted to buy, he needed to go back and discuss it with his family, unlike the casual way Daohua handled it.
After securing the deed, Daohua looked at Xiaoliu, “Brother Xiaoliu, we are short on time. To reclaim the wasteland, we need manpower. I see there are many refugees gathered in the county town; you go and recruit some short-term workers. As for the number, you decide. I only have one requirement, which is to sow the seeds around the middle of March.”
“Those who work diligently and carefully can be converted into long-term workers or tenant farmers. I will go back, think over the specific rules, and then send someone to inform you.”
Daohua fell silent for a moment, then added, “Also, check in town if there are any oxen for sale. If there are, buy a few to bring back. Don’t try to save money on farming tools and oxen.”
While saying this, she glanced at Wang Manman.
Wang Manman immediately handed a one-thousand-tael silver note to Xiaoliu.
Xiaoliu carefully accepted it: “Miss, is there anything else you need?”
Daohua pondered for a while: “Nothing for now, let’s leave it at that. I still need to plan this plot of land, and see where would be a good place to build the manor.”
Yan Zhiqiang stood by silently, not showing any desire to intervene.
To be honest, he felt that when it comes to managing manors and fields, he might not be as good as Daohua.
The manors in this girl’s hands not only yield a lot each year but also have fewer troubles.
He managed his family’s estates and knew that achieving these results was not easy; he was often so busy he felt overwhelmed, far less composed than this girl was.
The village head was also listening and immediately recommended people from the village when he heard that Daohua was looking to hire.
Daohua smiled, “As long as they are not lazy and diligent, my place will take as many as come.”
After talking for a while, Yan Zhiqiang noticed that it was getting late, so he took Daohua back to the boat to return.
Xiaoliu stayed behind with two young men, watching Daohua and her party leave.
