Gu Yanzhang saw that those big businessmen had so many good farmlands at home, and he thought to himself that if he really made a lot of money in business in the future, he'd better buy all the land he had reclaimed.

In this world, land, real estate, and population are the foundation.

His family has so many children, so it's quite prosperous. However, they still have very few registered fields.

Thinking that the family will have to buy more land in the future, Gu Yanzhang couldn't help but tell his wife about this idea.

When Chen Xuanxuan heard this, she thought about it seriously and nodded.

"We have few fields, but we have four sons. In the future, they will get married and have children, and then they will divide the family when we are old. These few acres of land in the family will definitely not be enough, so we should buy more land while we are young and can make money."

"After all, renting land from the government is still not reliable. Because now we are using the relationship with Captain Huang. Captain Huang still has some power and can get along well with the current county magistrate. But the emperor changes his ministers in this dynasty. I am really worried that after a few years, when the new county magistrate is transferred to our side, Captain Huang will not be valued much..."

"If he falls, then the wasteland we have worked so hard to open up here will be sold to others."

"So I'm planning that we must make more money in the next few years. Save more money, preferably a few hundred taels of silver. Then, we can buy that piece of land." When

Gu Yanzhang heard his wife say this, his eyes began to shine.

He and his cousin's family have worked hard to open up nearly 100 acres of wasteland!

If all these fields are bought by me, then my family will become a small landlord, right? !

How great it is to be a landlord!

After becoming a landlord, you don't have to worry about your family members being starved to death or frozen to death 365 days a year.

Although some landlords don't seem to have an easy life. But at least they don't live as hard as those poor people. As long as they don't break the law and don't get into trouble, and don't encounter those bad people with bad intentions, they don't have much to worry about their lives.

When he thought about buying the land, he could send his children to private schools, buy pens, ink, paper and inkstones for his children, and let them change the family's fortunes, Gu Yanzhang said to his wife with excitement.

"Wife, this is how our family should be, this is how our family should be, when we make money in the future, we must buy that piece of land!"

When he thought about the future, he was very motivated, and the smile on Gu Yanzhang's face was like a sunflower blooming under the sun.

Silly.

Seeing that he actually believed her promise after just a few words, Chen Xuanxuan couldn't help but shake her head in her heart, thinking that some men in ancient times were still simple.

Is it so simple to buy land?

If it were simple, her mother, who was not simple at all, would have done all these things long ago.

Chen Xuanxuan always felt that relying on the relationship with the head constable Huang, they could still make a little money in these villages by doing a small business.

But if they wanted to do big business, that was absolutely impossible.

Even if she made a big business and made a lot of money, those who were more capable and had stronger relationships than the head constable Huang would definitely keep an eye on her.

The feudal society was actually a bloody society where people bullied and devoured each other.

Doing business is not just about ability.

It is definitely not just about eloquence.

They have to rely on connections.

People in Tongzhen who can sell tung oil to other places are more or less related to people in the government.

Some are friends, and some are relatives.

Friendship is not strong enough.

Relatives with blood ties are considered good.

As for those relationships in the officialdom, Chen Xuanxuan asked old lady Liu a lot.

Old lady Liu had repeatedly reminded her that she must not expand the business of selling glutinous rice snacks.

If it is expanded, it will be easy for others to target it.

After being targeted by others, these things she worked hard to make will be sold to others for nothing.

Thinking of her mother's repeated reminders, Chen Xuanxuan looked at the man beside her meaningfully, and then said softly, "Boss, I plan to sell only a part of the rice after we plant it in the first year. I want to eat the rest..."

When Gu Yanzhang heard this, he was shocked.

"Wife, do you want to eat it?"

"...Do you want to eat glutinous rice every day?"

Chen Xuanxuan listened and nodded gently, "Yes. I have given birth to so many children for you in my life, and I am still in poor health."

"Sometimes I feel that my body is very weak. After walking a few steps, I am out of breath. Sometimes I feel dizzy. I often sweat when I sleep at night, and sometimes I suffer from insomnia at night. I think with this body, I may not live long..."

As soon as these words were spoken, Gu Yanzhang was shocked.

"Wife, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"I'm not feeling well, I need to see a doctor!"

"Our family has finally made some money, we can't be stingy with the money now..."

Gu Yanzhang knew very well that his family had made a big comeback this year, and it was definitely because of his wife's hard work and effort.

Otherwise, her family wouldn't have made such an effort to help them.

If his wife's health was really bad, and she really passed away before him by accident, then what hope would his family have in the future?

Thinking of this, Gu Yanzhang's eyes first turned red, and then he hurriedly began to dress Chen Xuanxuan and himself.

"Come on, wife, I'll take you to the county seat now. No, let's go to the town first. The town is closer. I'll take you to see a doctor."

"No matter what, no matter how much money we have to spend, we must cure your illness."

Gu Yanzhang has always known that in this rural area where there are more men than women, it is extremely difficult for a man who has lost his wife to marry another one.

A man who has lost his wife and no children to take care of has to pay a lot of money to find a widow to live with. Not to mention the old man who has lost his wife and has a bunch of children to take care of.

When he thought about having to live his life alone in the future, Gu Yanzhang couldn't help crying.

"Wife, you must be well!"
