Chapter 1039: Chapter 877: Buying Sloped Land, Pastures

January 18, Daohua rode out of the city in a carriage with Yan Shouhou to inspect the farmland and ranch they were interested in.

The Gan State Guard was located at the westernmost edge of Xiliang and governed a vast area with a diverse landscape.

There were plains suitable for farming, sparsely populated deserts, vast grasslands covered in greenery, but most of all, barren mountains.

Xiliang generally suffered from water scarcity, and the Gan State Guard had the least rainfall of all.

Ganzhou City was situated on the plains, where almost all the best farmland was designated as military land, with a few belonging to the officials of the guard.

As a newcomer like Daohua, it was almost impossible to buy any good farmland.

Daohua visited two parcels of land with Yan Shouhou and felt quite dissatisfied with both.

Her fondness for estates stemmed from their generally large size, which allowed for unified planning and centralized management. The two plots of land Yan Shouhou showed her were considered medium-sized, but they were too small, each being just over a hundred acres.

"Let’s go, let’s take a look at the ranch!"

Upon hearing that the largest plots in the coming areas were no more than two hundred acres, Daohua decided not to continue and went directly to see the ranch.

...

Renxin Ranch.

Upon seeing Daohua and her entourage, the Ranch Manager immediately greeted them warmly.

Previously, when Yan Shouhou had come to inspect the ranch, his master was also present. Learning that Yan Shouhou was a servant from the new governor of the Xiao Residence, he immediately ordered the Ranch Manager to sell the ranch to them.

The Ranch Manager glanced at Daohua who wore a veil and a white fox fur cloak, guessing she must be the lady of the Xiao Residence, and the eagerness on his face intensified.

"Our ranch is the largest around Ganzhou City, spanning a total of fifty thousand acres. At its peak, it housed tens of thousands of cattle and sheep."

Daohua didn’t negotiate with the ranch owner; instead, Yan Shouhou spoke for her.

"Since it’s the biggest ranch around Ganzhou City, why are you selling it?"

The Ranch Manager sighed, "It’s because the master urgently needs money at home, we have no choice."

Yan Shouhou, who had done his homework beforehand, immediately said, "It seems like this ranch has been neglected for quite some time."
