Gu Bailu, this landlord, had already pulled over half of the farmers from the outskirts and signed contracts with them.
In the future, these people would only farm her fields.
For the noble families, the crops harvested from their fields were for their own consumption, and they wouldn’t sell the rice. They were usually self-sufficient.
Thus, the noble families didn’t have much land.
For them, spiritual pills were more useful than a few acres of land.
Gu Bailu secretly bought a lot of land. After all, what Gu Bailu didn’t lack most was money.
Moreover, many of the fields and forests outside Pale Emperor City were owned by the imperial court.
She planned to slowly distribute the fields to the farmers. The farmers only took 30% percent of the harvest, but that was enough for them to feed their own families. The rest of the food would belong to the imperial court.
And that was Gu Bailu and Feng Qingtian.
No rice was sold on the streets, and there was no one to farm the fields owned by the noble families.
Bu Yaolian was amused. “You can even do something like this. Lulu, you’re so smart.”
“It’s not that I’m smart, it’s that I know that the craftsmen and farmers make up the foundation of living. Without them, what do those people do about food, shelter, and transport? Do they really think they just cultivate every day, and don’t have to eat, dress, or sleep?”
Bu Yaolian slapped the table. “Good! I’ll do it! Just leave it to me. I guarantee I’ll do it properly.”
“Go ahead. But Shao Zun might not be willing for you to get busy now that you’re pregnant. You can discuss it with him. Given his thinking, he might be willing to do it himself.”
Now that they didn’t have to go to Heavenly Palace Cliff, it wasn’t a bad idea if Shao Zun could help them correct the people’s mentality.
This would have a bigger impact than him accepting assignments.
“As long as there’s money involved, Shao Zun should be happy to do it.”
Su Shenfan was in the study, selecting missions from the list that had been put together over the past few days. There weren’t any interesting assignments, and he didn’t want to take any which involved hand-to-hand combat or required him to be away from Bu Yaolian.
But not taking missions meant no money.
During dinner, Su Shenfan complained unhappily, “I feel uncomfortable with no money coming in.”
Although his subordinates had accepted some missions, for Su Shenfan, the money earned wasn’t enough for the daily expenses of his Earthly Residence.
“Shao Zun, there’s something that can earn you a lot of money. Do you want to give it a go?” Bu Yaolian seized the opportunity to bring it up.
Su Shenfan was excited at the mention of money, but he then saw the sparkle of enterprise in Bu Yaolian’s eyes. “Behave yourself. I can still take care of you. Don’t think about anything else.”
“This really is a chance to make a fortune.”
Bu Yaolian told Su Shenfan about Gu Bailu’s plan.
Su Shenfan clicked his tongue. “What does Gu Bailu want? The entire Southern Glory Empire belongs to her and Feng Qingtian. They can do whatever they want. Doing so much; isn’t she tired?”
Bu Yaolian leaned over and said, “You don’t understand. Do you know how many people in a country have low spiritual power?”
“Of course. At least 70% are useless.”
“No, they only have low spiritual power; they’re not useless… Lulu is trying to make the other 30% understand how useful the 70% is.”
“What’s in it for her?”
“Isn’t this 70% now under her? After she turns them into useful people, the 30% will have to take out as much money as the 70% wants.”
“She doesn’t lack money.”
“It’s probably a dream of hers.”
