Tang Yan had acquired a total of more than 6,300 acres of good farmland for him.
Qin Niu had originally told Tang Yan that acquiring about 5,000 acres would be enough. However, Tang Yan went ahead and acquired an additional 1,300 acres for him.
Afterwards, Tang Yan also told Qin Niu that seeing those premium farmlands being sold off for as little as seven taels, or even six taels and five pieces of silver money, was simply too good a bargain to pass up. He couldn't resist and ended up helping Qin Niu acquire an extra thousand acres.
It cost a few thousand silver money less than the budget Qin Niu had set.
Qin Niu was only willing to acquire about 5,000 acres, not because he was short of silver money, but because he did not want to be too high-profile.
He deeply knew the principles of making a fortune in silence.
