    ??

    On the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, Daohua left the city in a carriage and went with Yan Shouhou to see the fields and pastures in the photo.

    Ganzhou Wei is located in the far west of Xiliang and has a large area under its jurisdiction. The landforms in this area are very diverse.

    There are plains suitable for farming, sparsely populated Gobi deserts, deserts filled with yellow sand, and vast green grasslands, but most of them are barren mountains.

    Xiliang is generally short of water, and Ganzhouwei has the least rain among the nine.

    Ganzhou City is located on the plain. Almost all the good fields are designated as military fields, and a few are the property of the guards officials.

    For people like Daohua who have just moved here, it is basically impossible to buy any good land.

    Daohua followed Yan Shouhou to see the two fields, and neither of them felt satisfied.

    The reason why she likes Zhuangzi is because Zhuangzi generally has a large area and can be planned and managed centrally. The two fields Yan Shouhou took her to see are medium-sized fields, but the area is too small, only about a hundred acres.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go and look at the pasture again!¡±

    When she heard that the largest plots of land were no more than 200 acres, Daohua didn¡¯t want to continue and went directly to see the pasture.

    ?¡­

    Renxin Ranch.

    When the ranch steward saw Daohua and his party coming, he immediately greeted them enthusiastically.

    When Yan Shouhou came over to test the ranch, his master happened to be there. After learning that Yan Shouhou was the new servant of Mr. Xiao¡¯s family, he immediately told him to sell the ranch to him.

    The ranch steward took a look at Daohua, who was wearing a curtain hat and a white fox fur cloak. He guessed that this person must be the mistress of Xiao Mansion, and the attentiveness on his face became stronger.

    ¡°Our ranch is the largest ranch around Ganzhou City, covering an area of ??50,000 acres. At its peak, we raised tens of thousands of cattle and sheep.¡±

    Daohua didn¡¯t negotiate with the ranch owner, Yan Shouhou was talking to him.

    "Since it is the largest ranch around Ganzhou City, why do you want to sell it?"

    The ranch manager sighed: "It's not like the owner's family is in urgent need of money, so there is nothing we can do."

    Before coming over, Yan Shouhou had done enough homework and said immediately: "It seems to me that your pasture has been abandoned for a long time."

    The ranch manager¡¯s smile froze, and when he was about to think of a way to get back, Daohua suddenly spoke.

    "Is there a river flowing through this pasture?"

    The ranch steward nodded instinctively: "Yes, the Dan River at the foot of Yunlian Snow Mountain flows through this ranch." After saying this, he was surprised to realize that Mrs. Xiao in front of him knew so much about this place.

    Daohua: "Since there is a river flowing through it, why is the pasture so barren?"

    "Well"

    The manager of the ranch did not expect that the people in the Xiao Mansion were so well prepared. He inquired about the situation of the ranch clearly and knew that he could not hide it, so he could only tell the truth:

    "Mrs. Dissatisfied, since the upper reaches of the Dan River were occupied by the Xiliao people ten years ago, the water in the river flowing through Ganzhou Wei has become less and less. Without the moisture of water, the pasture is getting less and less every year. Naturally,  It became deserted.¡±

    Daohua frowned: "Danhe?"

    She remembered that it was mentioned in Ganzhou Wei's geographical annals that the Dan River could be said to be the mother river of Ganzhou Wei. Its source was cut off by the Xiliao people. No wonder this land is getting drier every year.

    "Yunlian Mountain belongs to the boundary of Xiliang, why was it occupied by the Xiliang people?"

    The ranch manager can¡¯t handle this.

    Why else, Xiliang can¡¯t beat Xiliao!

    Daohua didn¡¯t expect a ranch steward to answer her: ¡°I want to see where the Dan River flows.¡±

    The steward of the ranch felt a little unhappy: "Madam, the Dan River is to the west of the ranch. Let's go there. The distance is not close."

    Daohua: "Then take the carriage."

    This time, the ranch manager stopped talking.

    Yan Shouhou waved towards the entrance of the ranch. When Cao Chuan saw it, he immediately drove a carriage over with his bald head.

    Daohua and Meilanmeiju sat on it directly.

    Yan Shouhou looked at the ranch manager: "Can you please show me the way, steward? Since we want to buy this ranch, we naturally have to take a look. After all, your asking price is not low."

    The ranch manager was helpless, so he could only bring the horses and accompany Daohua and his party on a trip.

    The carriage was not moving very fast. Daohua sat in the carriage and looked at the pasture carefully. The edge of the pasture was fenced with wooden stakes and wires, and the houses and barns where herders lived could be seen from a distance.

    Although it is a bit old, the infrastructure can be improved.?My girl is good at farming, so she nodded and agreed without asking any more questions.

    After he left, Daohua called Cao Chuan and handed him a drawing as well.

    "This is the ranch reconstruction plan. The ranch will be called Qingyang Ranch in the future."

    "I collected a batch of pasture seeds before. When you get them later, you can plant them in the pasture."

    After she came to Xiliang, she planted a lot of the grass seeds she bought on the road in the space. The grass growth period is short, so the grass seeds she took out now are all produced in the space.

    "The pasture is too big, and it would be too labor-intensive to just rely on people to guard it. I heard that the herdsmen here like to use sheepdogs. Ask around, and if anyone sells them, buy a dozen or twenty to watch the pasture.  "

    "After the pasture seeds are planted, we go to the herdsmen's homes around Ganzhou City to buy a batch of lambs and calves. The number is temporarily set at one hundred." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
