“Yes, yes, yes.” Everyone nodded their heads, and they started to become more excited.

Someone couldn’t help but say, “I’ll go and explore the barren land now! I have nothing to do these few days. In a year, even if 1 can’t open a lot, my family will definitely be able to earn at least some money from it!”

“I’m going too! ”

“I’ll go too!”

Many people also went home to take the equipment to open barren land.

Everyone was much more enthusiastic than before.

After lunch, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan accompanied Sifu to the workshop to see how the progress was going. The people who worked in the workshop were all given free meals. Among the 40 people hired, many were aunts. These people would take turns to cook lunch, which was also considered as paid work.

After returning from the workshop, the two kids took a short break before coming to the old house to practice martial arts again.

Xue Yan was focusing very hard during practice, while Jiang Yue was just putting on an act to let everyone know that she was actually practicing martial arts with him. Now that her family knows about them practicing, she would not have to hide the fact that she knew martial arts from the start. Moreover, the villages, including her family, would think that she was the same as Xue Yan and that she had learned martial arts from Shao Zhongxi.

Around three in the afternoon, they heard the Locust Village’s drum being beaten. The news was being passed around that anyone interested could sell their barren land to the Xue family. Very soon, someone took the equipment to reclaim the barren land and happily went to work.

Some people happened to pass by their old house, and the door of their old house was not closed at the moment, so they curiously peeked in.

Unwittingly, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan looked at each other.

Everyone was very enthusiastic and wanted to sell the barren land to the Xue family to earn some quick money. However, in the future, if they discovered that there were seeds that were suitable for planting on barren land and could produce high yields, they would naturally not sell them for two silver per acre.

That was why the Xue family decided that they would keep the seeds for their own families to plant.

There wasn’t much time, and everyone had yet to start planting. After all, apart from their own home, Jiang Yue would only occasionally change the seeds for the shops in the town.

Sooner or later, everyone would discover that the seeds bought from that shop were also suitable for growing on the newly opened barren land and would start planting them on their own.

There were so many farmers around town who bought the seeds from the shop, but none of them planted the seeds in the newly opened barren land yet.

As long as someone planted it on the newly opened barren land and produced a high yield, everyone would slowly know about it. In the end, they would not sell the barren land that they had opened up and would keep it for themselves.

At that time, everyone would have more land in their hands, and they would be able to grow more things. Even if there was no other way to earn money, they would be able to live better just by growing crops.

After returning from the workshop, Xue Sihu went to Xue Da’s place to drop by. When he came out of Xue Da!s place, he saw that everyone was so enthusiastic and many people were going to open up barren land. Finally, he understood what the two children were trying to imply. Presumably, in the future, there would be more and more land that could grow more crops, in turn, the livelihood of the people would improve as well. He couldn’t help but smile.

When he was about to return to the shop in town and passed by the old house, he did not enter. Instead, he stood at the door of the courtyard until the two children saw him and came out. He then patted their heads and smiled. “The shop in the county will open in two days. You guys should go too. There’s going to be a lot of people there. You guys have been practicing martial arts every day, so you should have one or two days off every month, right? I’ll ask for a day off from your master and bring you guys to the county..”
