Chapter 1039 - 877: Buying Sloped Land, Pastures
January 18, Daohua rode out of the city in a carriage with Yan Shouhou to inspect the farmland and ranch they were interested in.
The Gan State Guard was located at the westernmost edge of Xiliang and governed a vast area with a diverse landscape.
There were plains suitable for farming, sparsely populated deserts, vast grasslands covered in greenery, but most of all, barren mountains.
Xiliang generally suffered from water scarcity, and the Gan State Guard had the least rainfall of all.
Ganzhou City was situated on the plains, where almost all the best farmland was designated as military land, with a few belonging to the officials of the guard.
As a newcomer like Daohua, it was almost impossible to buy any good farmland.
Daohua visited two parcels of land with Yan Shouhou and felt quite dissatisfied with both.
Her fondness for estates stemmed from their generally large size, which allowed for unified planning and centralized management. The two plots of land Yan Shouhou showed her were considered medium-sized, but they were too small, each being just over a hundred acres.
"Let’s go, let’s take a look at the ranch!"
Upon hearing that the largest plots in the coming areas were no more than two hundred acres, Daohua decided not to continue and went directly to see the ranch.
