Bai Shan and Bai Erlang were eating buns on the side while watching the interaction between the father and daughter. Old Zhou took a while to recover. Luckily, he had been taking medicine these past few days, so he didn't pass out this time.
However, although he didn't faint, he still felt dizzy for a moment. It took him quite a while to regain his senses, and he swallowed hard before asking Manbao again, "How much?"
Manbao said, "A total of twenty-three stone of salary grain and one thousand mu of official land."
Old Zhou hesitated for a moment but still asked softly, "The official land won't just be a random pointing, all mountain and sandy lands, right?"
"No," Manbao replied, "Though official land varies in quality, it's all cultivated by someone. Even if there are mountains, the mountains must have beans or fruits planted. But such cases are rare—I heard most official land is fertile."
