Xue Yan knew that she could conjure up more seeds and stronger seedlings that could produce high yields on barren land. He understood what she was implying, so he nodded and responded, “I agree.”

However, before he could tell his family, Xue Erfu was the first to speak, “This matter might be too big for us to handle. There are many families in the villages. If they start claiming the land, how much money would we have to spend in a year in order to maintain it?

“If there was an accident, who would have to bear the cost? I don’t think I would. At first, we wanted to reject him then and there, but we didn’t want to embarrass him in front of so many people. After all, he was thinking of the well-being of the villages.

“We are his people too. If we could help, we would definitely help. However, we should also know our limits. On the way back just now, we agreed to not carry forward with this matter because it’ll be too risky for our family. He’s a sensible person, he won’t blame us once he hears our point of view.”

Liu Guixia quickly said, “I agree. Who knows what changes will happen in the future? What if they work hard preparing the land to sell it to our family, but we don’t have the money to buy it? They’ll blame us for not sticking to our promises.”

Xue Yan saw that Sifu wanted to object to this idea as well, so he hurriedly secretly tugged at Sifu’s clothes.

He was stopped before he could share his thoughts.

From a businessman’s point of view, he didn’t think that this was too risky. He just felt that there was no need to buy the barren land from the villages. Why bother so much?

Time was also a cost that had to be considered.

After a moment of hesitation, he turned to look at Xue Yan. Why did Xue Yan try to grab his attention? It seemed that Xue Yan wanted to agree to the idea instead of disagreeing.

Moreover, Xue Yan was the Crown Prince of the empire. There must be a bigger picture he has planned.

He couldn’t help but think about the land reclamation.

That would be beneficial to Da Ling and the people…

Thinking of this, Xue Sifu swallowed all the words he wanted to say and smiled, “Father, 1 think we should agree. Isn’t it a good thing to have more land at home? Previously, when Wufu beat up the bear, the money was used to buy the land first. There was nothing more reassuring than having land.

“Besides, you said that strawberries, tomatoes, and other wild things could grow well in the barren land. Even the watermelons had a high yield.

“Didn’t we have more than enough seeds at home after the harvest? At worst, we can plant these things in the barren land we buy in the future. We won’t suffer a loss.

“When I sold these last year, business was booming. You saw it for yourself.

“Besides, we’re not the only ones in town that can buy land. We can sell things to other towns, counties, and other places in the future to earn more money.

In any case, we’ll sell to whoever is willing to buy them. Even if we have a hundred acres now, it would definitely not be enough when the time comes.

“Also, aren’t you guys underestimating me too much? Why should we hesitate? How can we grow bigger if we’re always hesitating? My rice noodle shop is only starting to kick off. The branch in the county is going to open in two days. I’m sure that things for us will only get better in the future.”

“You make a fair point.” Xue Dafu, Liu Guixia, and the others all kept nodding their heads as if they had suddenly seen the light..
