Xiao Lan thought that what this man said coincided with her thoughts. Now that the refugees in the town were basically stabilized, it was not stable. As long as the land deeds were in hand, this panic would eventually pass, and the land would still be hers at that time, but at that time the land would not be able to be bought at this price.

Xiao Lan became more and more excited as she thought about it. Seeing Sheng Xuan was still hesitating, she said, "Dad, I think what Uncle Liu said makes sense. Now is a good time to buy land."

Sheng Xuan had his own considerations. He was afraid that this chaos would last too long. If all their money was invested in the land, their family might not even be able to make ends meet. After thinking it over again and again, he whispered to Xiao Lan, "Let's ask the brokers elsewhere. Don't be fooled by them. I want to buy the land around our home. It's close to home and easier to manage."

Zhang Qingfeng and Zhang Qingnian also had this idea.

After discussing for a while, they decided to go to the nearby Yahang. The Yahang was in sharp contrast to the bleakness outside. It was very lively inside. Many families had moved away, and many were selling houses and land. Of course, many were buying houses and land. The Yahang in the Yahang received them very warmly, "Are you guys selling houses and land or buying houses and land?"

After hearing this, Xiao Lan believed more and more that what Liu Dafu said made sense, and now was a good time to buy land.

Sheng Xuan hurriedly asked what the price ranges were and whether there were any close to Shengjia Village.

The broker said yes repeatedly and hurriedly welcomed the four people into the buyer's house.

There were already a few buyers sitting in the room drinking tea. When they saw the newcomers, they all looked towards the door. Xiao Lan and her group naturally looked at them as well.

Hey, there were actually two familiar faces inside, one was Zhao Dongjia from Tianxiang Tower, and the other was Liu Dafu, the broker who received Zhao Dongjia.

Xiao Lan quickly stepped forward to greet him, "Mr. Zhao, what a coincidence."

Zhao Dongjia was quite impressed by Xiao Lan and nodded to her gently, "What a coincidence."

Liu Dafu also greeted them with a smile on his face, "Brother Sheng San, Brother Zhang Da, Brother Zhang Er, how are your fields doing?"

The broker who received them saw that they knew each other, so he asked Liu Dafu to receive them together. Liu Dafu told them to act quickly if there was a suitable piece of land, as land was changing hands very quickly these days.

Finally, Xiaolan and Shengxuan chose a 30-mu medium-sized farmland in Guihuali, a neighboring village. This land was very close to her home and was connected to her home. Shengxuan knew the land's production very well. This land was sold by a small landlord in the town at a price of five taels of silver per mu.

Sheng Xuan paid a deposit of five taels of silver and said that he would go to Guihuali to deliver the rest tomorrow, and made an appointment with the broker.

The Zhang brothers took a fancy to an orchard near Xishan Village, with a total area of ​​25 acres. Because it was mountainous land, the price was relatively cheap, but it contained fruit trees, so they asked for five taels of silver per acre. They also paid a deposit of five taels and agreed to pay the rest of the money tomorrow.

After everything was settled, the four of them left the shop. Then they rushed home without stopping. When Zhang got home, she learned that the father and daughter had paid a deposit to buy land, which was very close to their home, and the deal was completed at a price of five taels. She calculated the family's spare money in her mind, thinking that buying land was better than holding the silver in her hands. Moreover, after paying the silver, the family still had a lot left, and there was no need to panic because there was surplus food at home. At this moment, she only lamented that her family's financial resources were still too thin, and even if there was some bargain, her family could not take more.

The next day, Zhang happily packed two hundred taels of silver for Sheng Xuan and asked him to keep it well and not lose it.

At this time, the two brothers Zhang Qingfeng and Zhang Qingnian also came. They were curious yesterday. Sheng Xuan bought 30 acres of land at once. How could his family come up with such money? At that time, they were away from home and couldn't ask too much. When they came home today, the door was closed, and all the people sitting there were family members, so there were no so many taboos.

When they learned that Sheng Xuan and Xiao Lan had actually gone to Beishan to hunt and had hunted bison and sika deer, they were all so shocked that their mouths opened slightly and they were stunned for a long time.

Something happened in the mountains a while ago, and the news spread to all the villages. They naturally heard about it, and when they first heard that they could gain so much from going up the mountain, they were tempted, but when they calmed down, they felt that it was not a good idea, and the risk was too great. This was going to the mountains to risk one's life, and no one would gamble with their life unless it was absolutely necessary.

They advised Sheng Xuan's family not to go to the mountains in the future. After buying the land this time, they could support their family with the produce from the land, so there would be no need to risk their lives in the mountains.

Sheng Xuan and Zhang both nodded. They had gone into the mountains out of necessity. Now that they could support themselves by farming, they would certainly not take risks in the mountains again.

Xiao Lan didn't comment after hearing this. She also knew that the mountains were dangerous and it was not advisable to go there too often. But she would talk about the future later. She couldn't guarantee anything now. If her family couldn't survive, she would have to go into the mountains.

After talking for a while, they set off. Although Zhang wanted to go with them for such a big event as buying land, she chose to stay at home to look after the family as the world was so unstable.

They went to Guihuali first, and Liu Dafu led them to the home of Landlord Wang. The big things in Landlord Wang's home had been moved away, and there were not many people left, and they were all packing their luggage. They planned to move to the city to take shelter.

Liu Dafu discussed with Landlord Wang whether the land could be sold at a lower price. Landlord Wang was a little embarrassed, but when he heard that their family would pay the money in full at one time, he relented.

Liu Dafu discussed with him for a while and finally was only willing to save ten taels of silver. He really didn't want to stay in the local area, so he had to reluctantly sell it at a low price.

When Liu Dafu told Sheng Xuan the price, they were both very surprised.

Their family is poor now, so they have to be more careful with money. They save when they can and spend when they can, and they are determined not to pretend to be rich.

"Brother Sheng, you have bought this land. You are an experienced farmer, you know this land best. Besides, it is close to your home."

Sheng Xuan nodded. Although this piece of land was sold at the price of a medium-sized field, the soil quality was actually quite good, above average.

Time waits for no one, so several people immediately took rulers to measure the land. The measurement results matched the land deed in the hands of Landlord Wang and there was no deviation, so Liu Dafu began to write the documents.

When it came to writing the buyer's name, Xiao Lan introduced herself. Liu Dafu looked at Sheng Xuan and saw him nod. Although he was surprised why his family wrote a child's name when buying land, he still wrote it truthfully.

He looked at the calm faces of Sheng Xuan and the Zhang brothers and knew that this girl named Xiao Lan was no simple person.

Xiaolan was the one who came up with the idea of ​​making money in the mountains, and the idea of ​​digging traps was also from Xiaolan. He just contributed his strength, and besides, it was his responsibility to earn money to support the family, but the child helped him to bear the responsibility, so what else could he be dissatisfied with? Sheng Xuan felt ashamed when he thought of this. He was enjoying the blessing of his daughter in advance, and this blessing benefited the whole family.
