Chapter 1656 New House
Shao Yunduan nodded, pondered for a moment, and said, "It seems that we need to send a reliable person to Yuzhang as soon as possible to ask Brother Le Zheng for help..."
The Le Zheng family has extensive connections in the business world, so as long as the money is in place, there will be no problem in purchasing enough seeds.
Qiao Xuan felt that Zhao Shu was actually quite reliable, but Zhao Shu was obviously not as good as Le Zhengxiao in terms of business, and Shao Yunduan would never ask Zhao Shu for help, so she did not mention it. She just smiled and said, "In this case, my husband, please ask Master Le Zheng to bring some farm tools and other things over if possible. I still need to farm!"
Shao Yunduan laughed and nodded: "Okay!"
The next morning, the two of them drove to the mansion in Huai'an Lane, the third street in the east city. Zheng Sangge, Song, Miao and others were already waiting. When Qiaoqiao and Qinglian saw Qiao Xuan, their eyes lit up and they ran up to her affectionately.
If Qiao Xuan hadn't been pregnant and their mother hadn't repeatedly warned them not to throw herself at Mrs. Shao, I'm afraid the two of them would have done so long ago.
After sitting in the main hall for a while, Zheng Sangge led them to look around the house.
When Anze Prefecture was built, it occupied a vast area, but its population never developed. In recent years, more and more people have left the city, and the mansions built by the rich in the city are really large.
The same three-courtyard house, this one covers a very large area. It is said to be more than twelve acres, but Qiao Xuan walked around and found that the house is probably about fifteen acres.
Especially the garden, which is bigger than the one in the prefectural government office.
But it had obviously been abandoned for a long time. Even though Zheng Sangge and others had cleaned it up, it still looked bare with few flowers or plants.
Only a few large trees that were left to grow naturally look very energetic.
There is also a lake covering an area of nearly two acres in the garden. The water is clear and there are some aquatic plants growing on the shore. What is rare is that this is a source of running water. There is a spring in the lake, and a secret channel has been dug to allow the water to flow out.
There are also rectangular pavilions with open sides built on the lakeside, which are great places to enjoy the scenery or go fishing.
Qiao Xuan liked this place very much. Seeing that the pavilion looked a bit old, she secretly thought about asking someone to repair it.
After several people discussed it, they fenced off the flat land in the northeast corner of the garden, demolished the east wall of the courtyard, rebuilt it, and turned it into a martial arts training ground according to the needs of daily training, in order to train a group of servants with good martial arts skills.
The next day, he went out of the city and headed to the southern suburbs to see the land he had bought.
As elsewhere, large tracts of paddy fields are difficult to buy, but dry land is relatively easier to acquire.
But this time it was really a coincidence.
This piece of land happens to be on a flat ground at the exit of a valley. Although there are some small hills, it is generally flat, which is rare in this mountainous area.
There is a lot of wasteland around, with mountains on one side and rolling hills on the other. Weeds are overgrown, and shrubs and vines are everywhere, with some small trees growing in the middle.
Qiao Xuan pointed to the large piece of wasteland covered with grass and trees, drew a circle, tugged at Shao Yunduan's sleeve, and said with great ambition, "Husband, I want all of this land! Let's start with 3,000 acres!"
Shao Yunduan said with a smile in his tone: "Okay!"
Now he is the local official, so what does it mean for his wife to want to enclose a piece of wasteland? The procedure should be handled very conveniently.
