Qin Luo's concise translation
"The goal is to cultivate both literary and martial skills, so that future graduates of my uncle's school will be able to pass the imperial examinations with a pen and fight off thugs with a knife!"
Qin Liang clapped upon hearing this.
"Good, Lord Kang is right, I agree!"
Everyone applauded, agreeing with Wu Hua's idea.
Qin Luo: A bunch of idiots!
Qin Ling raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet before continuing to speak.
"The neighboring courtyard and ours together total forty-seven taels, plus the land near the river in the back, about three mu, just right for building an ancestral hall, three mu for fifteen taels! That's a total of sixty-two taels!"
This time, there's no need to even look at the Qinling Mountains; Wu Hua answered directly.
"Great! The house over there is about the same size as this one; the front yard is perfect for the doctor to use as a pharmacy!"
Doctor You also had this idea.
"I've checked it out; the front yard is huge, perfect for drying medicine and seeing a doctor!"
Qin Ling nodded in agreement, and seeing that no one had any objections, he continued speaking.

Wu Hua Xiao Shou Ti slammed his hand on the table.
"Buy them all!"
Qinling nodded in agreement.
"Okay, what kind of 'thing'? You'll need to ask when you go to the government office to process the contract!"
After thinking for a moment, Wu Hua quickly made a decision.
"We'll plant 150 mu with grain, 100 mu with medicinal herbs, and the rest with fruit trees!"
Upon hearing that there were 100 acres for planting medicinal herbs, Doctor You immediately agreed.
"Well said, sir! You have foresight!"
Wu Hua gave him an approving look, and Doctor You grinned from ear to ear.
Qinling looked at Qin Liang
"Young man Liang has already achieved official rank, so he can be exempted from taxes on sixty mu of land. Furthermore, the village chief said that if we buy it all at once, he'll give us the land behind the village, which we can fence off and use as our ancestral burial ground!"
Everyone raised their hands in unison in agreement!
