"That's good." Fortunately, nothing is expensive, otherwise no matter how much money you have, it will run out eventually.
Early the next morning, she had just opened her eyes when she heard the waiter knocking on the door.
"Who is it? What's going on so early?" Xingfu had already woken up and walked to the door to ask.
"Miss Yan, the yamen runners sent a message asking you to come to the yamen at noon to look at the land."
"Got it, thank you, little brother."
Chunxiao hurriedly got up to wash up. It was already the morning hour and almost the evening hour, so they had to call a taxi quickly.
The three of them hurried downstairs and found a few people standing at the door. The waiter said that these people were all going to the yamen together, so they all got on the inn's ox cart and rushed to the county government.
"Are you all here to buy land?" one of them asked.
"Yes, my family is in the medicinal herb business. We used to grow a lot of herbs at home, but now Yuzhou Prefecture doesn't allow us to grow herbs, so we have no choice but to buy new land."
"This kind of medicinal material has high requirements for land, so you have to buy a good piece of land. My family is in the cotton and linen business."
As soon as Chunxiao heard the word cotton and linen, she pricked up her ears. This was a colleague.
"I'm planning to buy some land to grow hemp." Seeing her sitting aside without saying anything, he said, "Girl, what kind of business are you doing? I rarely see women doing business. I admire you."
Chunxiao smiled and said, "Our family is similar to Big Brother's, except we don't grow hemp, we grow cotton."
"Cotton is a good business, but the yield is so low that once you pay the tax, there's not much left. So you need to buy more land to get the most out of it."
"What this big brother said is that he was just thinking about whether he could buy more acres at a cheaper price."
Although they were all competing to buy land, they had a pleasant conversation along the way. However, when they arrived at the government office, they found out that there were more than just them who wanted to see the land. There were more than a dozen people waiting at the gate of the government office.
"Miss, why are there so many people?"
"I'm afraid they've gathered everyone together to watch it all at once."
Facts proved that she was right. The chief clerk actually arranged a 4-liang horse-drawn carriage and brought two yamen runners to let everyone get on the carriage and set off together.
Because of limited space, Chunxiao only took Shuwen with her, and Xingfu returned to the inn by herself.
