Zhao Shanshan took it and gave it to Lin Xiaoyue.
During this time, she was once again in close contact with Fan Teng. Feeling Fan Teng’s burning gaze, Zhao Shanshan’s breathing almost became unstable.
Fortunately, Fan Teng did not make things difficult for her this time.
When she handed the stick to Lin Xiaoyue, Zhao Shanshan let out a sigh of relief.
Lin Xiaoyue saw Zhao Shanshan’s reaction and was amused, but she didn’t say anything.
After taking the stick, she started drawing on the ground.
Without waiting for Lin Xiaoyue’s instructions, everyone gathered around, staring at Lin Xiaoyue’s drawing and listening to her explanation.
“The terrain of this mountain isn’t too steep. Below the mountainside, terraces could be reclaimed in this way.”
“Just like this, from the foot of the mountain to the top, layer by layer. We only need to ensure that every piece of land is flat.”
“This method of reclamation can reduce the amount of soil on the mountain.”
Everyone watched and listened in amazement.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThat was why it was called a terraced field.
Wouldn’t the shape of the mountain look like a ladder?
“The length of the terraced fields varies, but it should not be too long. The most important thing to consider is the ease of farming.”
“It’s best to determine the path up the mountain first and the path has to be made wider. It’ll be convenient for you to go up and down the mountain in the future.” Lin Xiaoyue continued to draw on the ground.
Fan Ming nodded repeatedly.
“If we follow Miss’ method to reclaim this mountain, the Zhou Manor will probably be able to have more than 200 mu of land in excess!” He exclaimed.
The Zhou Manor was only a few dozen acres less than the Mao’er and Meng Manor. With these 200 acres, they could go from the manor with the least land to one with the most land!
Moreover, they would have 100 mu in excess!
Miss is really amazing to think of such a method of developing the mountain.
It was not that difficult to develop the mountain in this way.
Most importantly, the structure of the terraced fields saved space!
Her move not only solved the problem of the mountain, but also turned the trouble into wealth. It gave the Zhou Manor more than 200 mu of land!
At this moment, the way Zhong Gui and Cao De looked at Fan Ming had also changed.
There was no sympathy, only envy.
How can they not be envious? With more than 200 mu of land, how much could the production increase?
Lin Xiaoyue smiled.
“The mountain is too big. It won’t be easy to develop it. Fortunately, winter wouldn’t affect us.”
Lin Xiaoyue looked at Fan Ming.
“How about this, I will give the Zhou Manor an extra 500 taels of silver. This money will be used to develop the mountain.”
“If it’s not enough, think of a way.”
Zhong Gui and Cao De’s expressions changed.
500 taels more?
This amount money probably wouldn’t be enough to develop it, but 500 taels was not a small amount!
He needed the initial capital to develop the land, but there would be an increase in production next year!
“Of course, the production target for the Zhou Manor would be increased from 4,000 to 5,000 taels.” Lin Xiaoyue continued.
In any case, she had no intention of favoring anyone.
Fan Ming’s expression changed slightly as he bowed towards Lin Xiaoyue.
“Yes! Thank you, Miss!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm500 taels of silver was just right. If she gave too much, he might have to double the production. Then, he would be under even greater pressure.
With a budget of 500 silver taels, it was a bit difficult to develop such a large piece of land.
However, even if he had to spend more money, he had to get the land ready before next spring.
Only in this way could the Zhou Manor have more land to grow chili peppers and sweet potatoes.
Only by taking good care of the land would his chances of winning be greater.
At this moment, Fan Ming’s heart was filled with confidence.
Zhong Gui and Cao De exchanged glances, both envious of Fan Ming’s good luck.
Although Miss had given Fan Ming an extra budget of 500 taels of silver, she had also raised the Zhou Manor’s target by 1,000 taels.
This way, even if they had any objections, they wouldn’t be able to voice them out.
Moreover, they had no say in the decision.
Zhong Gui and Cao De sighed in their hearts. Why didn’t the Mao’er and Meng Manor also have a mountain for terraced fields?
Lin Xiaoyue told Fan Ming some more about the terraced fields before continuing to walk forward.
“After the terraced fields are built, we can also consider developing the part on top in the future.” Lin Xiaoyue said to Fan Ming as she walked forward.
Fan Ming’s eyes lit up.
“Miss, what are you thinking?” He quickly asked Lin Xiaoyue..
