Besides running a food shop, we couldn't forget another way to make money! Merchants willing to go north, besides reselling grain, were most drawn to northern furs and medicinal herbs!

Thinking of this, Li Yan was no longer satisfied with the forsythia on this hill. She wanted to buy more land and plant more medicinal herbs. As long as such a market could be built, she wouldn't have to worry about the sales of these planted medicinal herbs!

Now we only have one medicinal herb, Forsythia suspensa, which obviously does not have much competitiveness. We must hurry up to buy land to plant more medicinal herbs. As long as the medicinal herbs here become famous, more merchants will come here, which will further promote the development of Rongcheng!

Maybe it was because she got up too early today or she was too busy these past two days, Li Yan fell asleep slowly while thinking. She slept for a long time until she heard Lin knocking on the door!

Perhaps because she slept too long, Li Yan's head was still a little dizzy when she woke up.

She staggered out of the room and saw Lin standing outside the door, saying to her daughter, "Your grandfather just came to tell you that those cattle have been taken back by Young Master Qin's men!"

Li Yan walked out the door upon hearing this, but her mother called out to her, "They left a long time ago!"

After hearing her mother's words, Li Yan did not stop. She turned around and said to Lin, "Mom, I'll go take a look in the fields!" After that, she walked out of the yard.

After leaving the courtyard, Li Yan could see busy figures in the fields. All things were reviving and it was the sowing season. The villagers wished they had three heads and six arms. They started working in the fields at dawn every day and were reluctant to rest at noon. They were busy until dark.

Li Yan crossed the path and walked along the ridge of the field. As she got closer, she could occasionally hear the voices of villagers chatting in the fields.

The day-to-day hard work did not break their backbones. Instead, they enjoyed themselves. The villagers in the fields occasionally talked about it and shared their own sowing experiences.

From their conversation, Li Yan could hear their infinite anticipation for a good harvest!

Li Yan walked to her own fields and saw that the Zhao and Guo families were busy sowing wheat. In order not to stand out and avoid being nagged by her grandparents, Li Yan also sowed spring wheat on these prime fields like everyone else!

When the two families saw Li Yan coming, they stopped to greet her, and then went back to their work.

Li Yan looked at the plowed land. The families who helped plow the land had all gone home. With the help of the Guo and Zhao families, the eleven acres of prime land would be finished in a few days!

After checking the sowing situation in her own fields, Li Yan walked towards her uncle's fields.

The Li family is said to have split up, and Mr. Li lives with Dalang's family, so he has no time for farming during the busy season. Instead of helping his eldest son first, he helps his youngest son!

Because Li Yan had given the cow she had bought before the New Year to her uncle's family first, Wu said to her eldest son, "In that case, let your father go and help out first. With so many people, there has to be someone at home to help with the work in the fields, right?"

Li Dalang naturally had no objection to what Wu said. One cow was equivalent to three or four strong laborers. He was getting the better deal, so why would he disagree?

In this way, these days Grandpa Li has been bringing people to help his youngest son's family plow the land. Now that the land has been plowed, Grandpa Li comes back to help his eldest son plow the land. One person has 20 acres of land to plow. Although there are cows to plow the land, it is not an easy job!

Li Yan stood on the edge of the field and called out, "Grandpa Li."

Seeing that it was his granddaughter, Mr. Li handed the plow to his son and walked quickly to his granddaughter: "Those cows were taken away by the people from the general's mansion. Did you know that?"

"I talked to Master Qin about the cow today. I think he must have sent someone to lead it away. Thanks to his help, there are so many wastelands. Otherwise, I don't know how long it would take to turn over!" Li Yan said.

Spring plowing is going on everywhere now, and cattle and plowing tools are needed everywhere. It is really righteous of you to help at this critical juncture!

Old Master Li nodded and thought about it for a long time but couldn't think of anything valuable at home that could be used as a gift to express his gratitude!

After thinking for a while, Mr. Li said, "If he doesn't mind, next time he comes to the village, invite him to your house for a meal. You can make some pickled fish and braised meat to treat him well!"

Li Yan finally came to her senses. "My God, he didn't just want to lend me the cow! He's here to study, so he has to pay some tuition!" But Li Yan only dared to think about this in her heart and didn't dare to say it out loud!

Seeing that my granddaughter didn't say anything, I guess she understood the reason.

"Okay, are you okay? If not, I'll go plow the soil!" Obviously, the thing that Mr. Li is most concerned about now is spring plowing!

Li Yan hesitated and directly expressed her thoughts: "Master, please help me talk to the clan leader. I want to buy some more wasteland!"
