I'M THE FARMGIRL YOU CAN'T MESS WITH

Chapter 96: Selling Land

Editor: Atlas Studios

The dejected refugees carried their title deed to the table to register. Then, they placed the deeds down and took a bag of grains from behind before leaving with a sad expression.

The squires’ accountants looked increasingly smug. Qi Xiuyuan, who was standing in the corner, saw all of this. He also smiled and said to Jiang Ze, “It’ll be difficult to get these title deeds back once they mortgage them. Then why hold on to such unrealistic thoughts? They might as well sell the land and exchange it for grains.”

Jiang Ze blinked and said, “General, you’re right.”

Qi Xiuyuan: “…”

After a while, Qi Xiuyuan sighed and looked up at the sky. His heart twitched. If only Rong Xuan was here. Alternatively, it would be good if Mo Xiong was around, too. At least he didn’t have to say anything else.

After Qi Xiuyuan was done being melancholic, he turned to Jiang Ze and smiled faintly. “Spread these words in a different version. Make sure that the refugees sell their land to these squires instead of mortgaging them to borrow grains. The grains borrowed aren’t even enough to fill the gaps between their teeth.”

Realization dawned on Jiang Ze. He scratched his head in embarrassment. “Yes, General. Don’t worry, I’ll definitely get it done for you.” He added, “I won’t let anyone find out it was your idea.”

Qi Xiuyuan glared at him. “We definitely can’t let them trace this back to West Camp.”

“Yes, yes. I’ll make sure they don’t even have a clue.”

Feeling that there was no one around him to deploy, Qi Xiuyuan returned to the entrance of the residence and saw a few ragged people standing not far away. Mu Yangling was standing opposite them, stuffing a few pieces of silver into their hands.

Qi Xiuyuan was deep in thought. He knew that the villagers of Nearhill Village were in the refugee settlement in the east of the city, but since the Mu family did not ask him for help, he naturally would not take the initiative to ask.

There were more than 200 people here. If he had to feed them for a month, he would definitely go broke doing so. Hence, he avoided them as much as he could. But now, it seemed like there was no need to do so.
