    Perhaps it was because he practiced martial arts every day and needed to expend arge amount of physical strength, but Xue Yan’s appetite had be bigger. Nowadays, he’s been needingrge bowls of rice to replenish his energy.


    When Xue Yan went to his room to put the sword away, Xue Sifu had already told the rest about his ns and that he was going to open it in two days. Liu Guixia and the others were thrilled with the news.


    Halfway through the meal, Xue Dafu and the others finally returned. The three of them had big smiles on their faces. It was obvious that they had sessfully bought a hundred acres of barrennd.


    When he returned, Xue Dafu happily said that it was with the help of the vige chief. He asked around in the surrounding viges if there was any barrennd for sale. Many people in the viges who had barrennd were willing to sell it. After asking around a few viges, they managed to gather at least a hundred acres of barrennd.


    Before he finished speaking, Xue Dafu handed over the deed to the 100 acres of barrennd, as well as the documents that the other vige chiefs signed as proof, and the fingerprints of the seller, to Liu Guixia for her to keep.


    It was a thick stack.


    Liu Guixia was so shocked that her mouth was wide open.


    “The vige chief asked if our family nned to purchase more barrennd in the future.” Xue Erfu smiled and said, “If we agree, they would encourage their people to open up their barrennd for sale and nurture the soil. In a year, we will be able to purchase morend and they will be more fertile too! If they find the right people, they said they will send them our way next year. Each acre ofnd costs about two silver. Even if each family only farmed one acre a year, the return would cost more than two silver. In addition, the family that cares for that plot ofnd will earn money too. It’s basically a win-win for everyone! Who wouldn’t want to live a better life?”


    Hearing this, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan both felt that although the vige chief was doing it to improve the livelihood of their people, it was much too idealistic.


    Even if their family needed barrennd, it was impossible for them to need that many acres every year. This n would not allow the viges to have a stable ie every year.<div>

    However, clearing the barrennd for future use could be a way out.


    Otherwise, Da Ling would not have encouragednd remation and tax exemption for the first three years. Wasn’t it because there were many people in Da Ling, but the amount ofnd nted per person was not enough?


    There was still quite a lot ofnd in Da Ling. Even if they had very little harvest, it was still considered something. It was better than nothing.


    However, it was much harder to maintain barrennd. Even after a few years of careful management, the opennd was not as fertile as one could hope to be, Not many nts would thrive well in such circumstances. Therefore, many people could not afford to waste the cost. Many people were more inclined to rent the fertilend from thendlord first. At least, that was how they nned to survive. Only those who were better off would consider purchasing barrennd.


    In the long run, it would be the right choice to open up barrennd.


    In the future, these barrennds would be taken care of and be more fertile. Then, there would be more fields for the people to grow and more taxes to im. It was a good thing for both the people and Da Ling.


    Sooner orter, she would change all the seeds in Da Ling so that if they mutated, they would mutate with each other and produce better seeds. Even if it was barrennd, it would be able to produce high yield. The people would be able to grow a variety of things, and the yellow soil in her space would grow as well. No matter what, it was a good thing.


    Moreover, wasn’t Xue Yan the Crown Prince? After he is acknowledged by the royal family, it would definitely be more convenient if she wanted to change seeds in the future with his decree.


    Thinking of this, Jiang Yue put down her spoon and lowered her voice. She spoke in a tone that only Xue Yan could hear, she said to Xue Yan, “We should let the family handle this matter. In the future, whether it’s letting the national treasury take the money or our family nting it ourselves, we won’t be at a loss..
