The man waved his hand. "It's okay, it's okay. I don't need that much land. There's more than just that place in Su County. I'll just look elsewhere."
The chief clerk looked at Chunxiao with a smile, "Miss Yan, you have made up your mind. If you decide, when will you pay the money for the land?"
"Sir, I will come tomorrow with the money to complete the formalities."
"Okay, okay." The chief clerk didn't expect her to hand over the money so quickly, and was naturally overjoyed. He looked at Fu Zongming again and said, "Mr. Fu, it's too late today. Tomorrow I'll find someone to take you to see two good plots of land."
"Thank you, sir."
Several people left the yamen.
"Miss Yan is really bold. She bought over a thousand acres of land just like that. I really admire her."
Chun Xiao smiled and said, "I am a woman, and I always want to take advantage of others. Although this mountain land is ordinary, I think it won't be a problem to hire someone to reclaim it with the money I saved. I am sorry to have laughed at you, sir."
"I think the girl is definitely not a simple person. We are from the same hometown. If I decide on a place, we can visit each other often in the future." He could afford the money, but he felt that it was not worth it to spend so much money to buy such a piece of mountain land.
“Come often!”
Chunxiao felt that although Fu Zongming was a colleague, he was humble, polite and well-educated, so it would not be a bad thing to have some contact with him.
The three of them returned to the inn, closed the door and discussed matters in Chunxiao's room.
"Xiaohua, are you afraid if I ask you to drive back to Pengdong by yourself? If you are, then don't go by yourself. Go to the car dealership and rent a car."
"Miss, do you want me to go back and bring people over for you like Nineteen did? I don't need to rent a car, I can walk by myself."
Chun Xiao smiled and said, "When you go back, don't come here for the time being. Your sister is about to give birth, so you should stay in Pengdong."
"That won't do!" Although Xiaohua really wanted to see her grandma's birth, she couldn't leave the young lady alone. "I have to come, otherwise how will they know how to get to Tear Creek Town?"
"This time, have Meiman arrange 60 people for me. If she's short on manpower, have them rush to the county town to buy more people. Since my household registration isn't there, have them use Xingfu's. As for the seeds, you stay with Pengdong to help. I'll take you with me next time I go back. The carriage will stay at Ruyun Manor for Meiman and the others to use."
"Miss!" Xiaohua was very conflicted.
"Be obedient!" Chun Xiao patted her shoulder. "We can't delay this matter." She looked at Nineteen again, feeling rather helpless. "Nineteen, we have to start all over again."
Nineteen was very excited, "Boss, it's okay, we just need to hurry up."
"Well, we can only act separately. Fortunately, we now have three carriages. So, Xiaohua will set off early tomorrow morning, and Nineteen and I will go to the county government to handle the formalities. After the formalities are completed, Nineteen, you go to Fangjia Village and Wangjia Village to find people to open up the wasteland. There is no limit to the number of people this time. The more the better. As long as they can work, they will be fine. The daily wage is still 25 wen. It would be best if there is a circuitous route on the slope so that the cows can go up. Otherwise, it will be too much trouble. I will go to the various blacksmith shops to get the tools first, and then collect fertilizer and find a masonry team. Anyway, you will meet them over there. There are only two of us now. If you can't split up, you can ask someone to meet you in the field. It doesn't cost much to hire people. I will also ask people to run errands when necessary. I'm afraid we will have to hire mainly long-term workers in the future."
"I'm afraid we'll have to hire hundreds of farmhands again." Nineteen was a little scared. Last time, they almost got cramps in their hands from copying the farmhands' contracts. He would rather just work.
"You are afraid of copying." Chunxiao found it funny to see him frowning.
"Don't worry, when you hire someone, the people from our village have already arrived. There are plenty of people to help you copy."
She looked at Xiaohua and said, "Tell Meiman to ask those who come here to bring their own quilts. If there are any missing, she can go and buy them. Oh, and bring 40 more bolts of cloth for us to keep. If you still have cotton, bring some more. We must hurry."
"I understand, Miss."
