Chapter 434, Plan (1 more)

Wiser to the ways of the world.

Magistrate Liu had known early on that Xie Zhinuan wished to buy a mountain to cultivate crops, and he'd thought that he must accommodate her in this regard.

"How much mountain land does Miss Xie plan to buy?"

"Thousands, perhaps tens of thousands of acres, would that be feasible, Sir?" Xie Zhinuan asked.

"..."

Magistrate Liu looked at Xie Zhinuan, "Miss Xie, if you truly intend to clear thousands of acres of forest to plant crops, the silver needed to purchase the land is a trifling matter, but the real expense will come from hiring people to clear it. Even if you are exempt from taxes for three years, you might not earn back your initial investment within that time!"

Upon hearing this, Xie Zhinuan chuckled softly and shook her head, "I'm not concerned about whether I can earn back the initial investment. What I can see is that owning land, no matter what I grow, there will always be a harvest!"

Of course, that was only one reason.
