Chapter 41: Worldly Affairs

Hearing Xu Scholar's words, his face twitched.

Half of the Xu Family's land in Songzhou would amount to tens of thousands of acres.

Even Master Qian, who had seen and experienced much, couldn't help but feel his heart race upon hearing Xu Scholar's stakes. With those tens of thousands of acres, even a Scholar who is aiming for higher degrees would have to think it over.

Initially shocked, Xu Qing then slowly spoke, "Old Master Xu, are you truly willing to part with it?"

"For the sake of the family enduring this calamity, what is there not to part with?" Xu Scholar replied with a bitter laugh.

Xu Qing looked at Xu Scholar peculiarly and spoke faintly, "If the old master is willing to part with these lands, why not bring them out to cooperate with the land survey?"

He then shook his head, reciting a piece of official documentation, "If any scholars or powerful families actively cooperate with the land survey, all past grievances will not be pursued."
