How could Mr. Mu not understand what Fu Wu was saying?
The sale of paddy fields in the Da Ning Dynasty was generally time-restricted. If the land was sold before the harvest, half of the harvest would belong to the buyer, and the harvest would be reaped by the buyer.
So, anyone with sense would choose to sell their paddy fields after the autumn harvest.
That's the way to earn more.
But there are still a few months until the autumn harvest, and Mu Dade can't wait.
He's in a hurry for the Autumn Examination in August. If he doesn't prepare the silver now, it will be too late.
"Fu Wu, you know your Uncle Mu. Please ask around to see who might buy our land. Those three mu of land are priced at eighteen taels, not a bit more, nor a bit less."
Mr. Mu was confident that many in the village were eager to have his three mu of land.
At one time, someone even offered twenty-five taels, but he couldn't bring himself to sell it.
