Upon hearing this, Mo Yan did not find it expensive and told Lizhong to quickly find someone from the Government Office to measure the area so they could purchase it as soon as possible.
With silver at hand, things were easier to manage, and the Government Office personnel came promptly. In the end, they measured the entire awkward patch of land, which totaled forty acres.
Forty acres seemed a bit small to Mo Yan, but there was nothing to be done about it since it was already the largest block of land in Liu Yang Village. There were other pieces of land available, but they were scattered and much smaller, making them a real hassle to clean up.
After paying sixty taels of silver plus one tael for the handling fee, Lizhong returned with the land deed for that piece of wasteland.
