Zhou Dalang started searching again around the capital and Yongzhou. He found quite a few brokers, but just as Manbao said, there were few sellers of land. Only the truly desperate and the wastrels would sell land.
Evidently, there aren't that many wastrels in the world.
Even when land was available, often when he went to view it, before he even decided whether to buy, in the blink of an eye, the land would already be sold.
Initially, he just felt regretful, but as it happened more frequently, he sensed that something was amiss and couldn't help but ask the brokers about the land transaction prices. Since he had become familiar with the brokers, although he didn't get the exact prices, he had a vague sense that the transaction prices of those lands were not that high.
It's quite strange that they sold so quickly.
He couldn't help but inquire from the most knowledgeable person in the family, Manbao.
Manbao: ...
Manbao didn't know, so she earnestly consulted Bai Shan.
