Inspection

After all the plowing oxen that had been lent out were brought inside the fence, Mu Yangling surveyed the area and asked Zhang Wu, "How is it? What are the stats?"

"We're still owed a total of 4,358 working days."

Mu Yangling pondered for a moment and said, "If they're willing to pay us back with money, we'll accept the money. We'll also accept grains. If they're unwilling, let's note it down first. They'll be useful during the autumn harvest."

Zhang Wu had the same idea. "The autumn harvest requires much fewer plowing oxen hours than the spring plowing. If we leave the owed workdays until the autumn harvest, we might not have to hire additional short-term workers."

"Check if there are any oxen in heat. If there are, isolate them separately and breed them."

Zhang Wu agreed.

Their funds were limited now, so it was impossible for them to add new calves.
