Chapter 170: The Horse Farm Was Taken Over
[Residential Deed... Task: Horse Care... Provide shelter and food to earn points...]
White rice, white flour, pork, chicken, fish...
Taoyuan Academy provides a place for children to study...
Liao Ping'an became increasingly alarmed as he looked at the items, each one clear and compelling!
All he has to do is raise horses! Raise lots and lots of horses!
Isn't this exactly what he wanted?
"All you need to do is raise horses?"
Jiang Mianmian nodded. "How many horses do you have now? I want to buy them all, and then ask your family and the others at the horse farm to help me raise them. The location is in Taoyuan. Of course, it would be even better if your family could raise that many horses. You can decide on the specific people, since you know these people better than I do."
"There are still 340 and 42 horses. The exact number of people needed depends on the water and grass conditions in Taoyuan. If the area is spacious and suitable for raising horses, ten people will be enough. But if the conditions are average, more people will be needed."
Liao Pingan blurted it out.
After saying that, he regretted it a little. What if this girl's paradise wasn't a good place, and she ended up imprisoning everyone because of his words? However, in this day and age, staying here didn't guarantee survival. It was better for everyone to stay together; they could always find a way to survive.
He said sincerely, "Miss, you are of noble status, and I know I shouldn't ask you for this, but the people I keep at my horse farm are all honest and clumsy. If you don't mind, please take us all with you. Even if you don't raise horses, you can still do some hard labor."
"So you're really going to come with me? Without discussing it with your family or anyone else? Without even asking me how much the horse cost?"
How did such a simple-minded person manage such a large horse farm in the past?
No wonder Xiao Bao dislikes Liao Jian; he might have been tricked by Liao Jian and suffered some great loss.
Liao Pingan realized what was going on after hearing this, and said, "Then I'll ask my wife."
"What's the question?"
Madam Liao came in carrying a tray. "Xiao Bao, go to the kitchen and get the food."
She placed the tray on the table, which contained a plate of stir-fried cured pork with garlic sprouts, a plate of stir-fried wild vegetables with eggs, a pot of stewed chicken with mushrooms, and a pot of egg drop soup. "These are all home-style dishes, please don't mind them, just try them out."
"It's not easy to eat such good food these days."
Jiang Mianmian wasn't just praising them commercially; she genuinely felt that the couple was living a pretty good life.
Liao Xiaobao brought in a bowl of white rice and served it to everyone.
"Please eat, young lady, don't be shy."
Madam Liao took the contract and glanced at it a few times before asking thoughtfully, "Miss, may we first see what Peach Blossom Spring is like? Also, I'd like to ask, what do you intend to do with these three hundred-plus horses?"
"Of course, we'll ride it."
Jiang Mianmian realized, "Wouldn't someone come and buy the horse to slaughter?"
The couple looked rather grim, as if they were recalling some unpleasant memories.
Jiang Mianmian quickly urged the two to eat as well, "Eat quickly, and after you finish eating I can take you to see Peach Blossom Spring. I have enough food. The horses are for riding, and these precious things can't be allowed to get hurt."
"The girl seems to be a very kind-hearted person."
Mrs. Liao knew she was overthinking things, but how could she not? These horses were their lifeblood!
After a quick meal, Jiang Mianmian said, "If you want to enter Peach Blossom Spring, you have to sign a contract. But if you don't like it after you get there, there's no way to unwind the contract. Who do you want to sign? Or should all three of you sign?"
"I sign."
Liao Ping'an stopped the other two, deciding to go in and check it out himself, just in case it turned out to be a trap. He immediately pressed his handprint and entered Peach Blossom Spring with Jiang Mianmian.
The heat vanished instantly, replaced by lush greenery and wisps of smoke rising from chimneys.
Jiang Mianmian pointed to that village area, "That's where our Taoyuan residents live, and it will be expanded in the future."
Pointing to the vast grasslands and the mountains at the end, he said, "I don't know where would be a good place to build the horse ranch. You can choose anywhere. Once you've chosen, I'll find someone to build the ranch for you."
"Anywhere is fine, can we all come? They can do anything."
Liao Ping'an stammered, "With such a big place and such lush grass, the horses can definitely grow strong and healthy!"
"Shall we look at other places?"
Jiang Mianmian was quite confident in her paradise and asked with a smile, "Have you thought it through? It'll be too late to regret it later."
"No regrets!" Liao Ping'an couldn't wait to bring them in.
The two of them then slipped away.
Liao Ping'an looked very excited. "Quick, pack your things, let's go into Peach Blossom Spring with Miss Mianmian!"
"No need to pack, I'll take them in for you later."
Perhaps the entire horse farm could be recreated in Peach Blossom Spring!
Jiang Mianmian told them to find other people while she began preparing the contracts, temporarily filling them all in as horse-raising contracts, with the reward being the treatment of ordinary residents, etc.
Once more than twenty people arrived, they all signed the resident agreement. "Now the first task is to dig out all the things that are fixed in the ground, such as fences and stables."
Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to collect it into Peach Blossom Spring.
Without asking why, Liao Ping'an immediately ordered these people to start working.
Twenty-odd people were far from enough, so Jiang Mianmian called out the first and fourth teams of slaves, as well as some residents, which greatly increased the speed.
It was already dark when they finally uncovered the entire horse ranch. "Alright, you can go in first."
Jiang Mianmian expanded her consciousness further and further, eventually bringing the entire horse farm into Peach Blossom Paradise.
The entire horse ranch covered tens of thousands of acres. In the instant it disappeared, the wind swept up dust, and withered leaves and grass flew into the sky.
When the wind stops and the leaves fall, only an empty piece of land remains.
Jiang Mianmian naturally followed into Peach Blossom Garden, but the horse farm was too big, and she was a little exhausted, so she sat down on the ground with a thud. "Shiyi, settle the people at the horse farm, Xiu Niang, come here!"
"My benefactor! Are you alright?"
Xin Xiuniang rushed over and helped her up.
"It's nothing, it's just too tiring. Manager Liao, there might be some changes at the horse farm later, remember to let me know."
Jiang Mianmian pretended that nothing had happened.
The two quickly returned to the courtyard, and as soon as they closed the door, she completely fainted.
"benefactor!"
Xin Xiuniang gasped and quickly carried the person into the house.
I took off her coat and shoes, and then went to boil water to cook porridge. Just then, the gate to the courtyard opened.
The visitor was Liao Ping'an. "Miss Xin, is Miss Mianmian busy?"
"I'm busy, you should go and rest."
Xin Xiuniang knew that Jiang Mianmian had held on until she returned to the courtyard because she didn't want them to know her current condition, and she didn't dare to reveal anything. So she could only say, "I'll tell her you came when she's alright, or you can tell me and I'll pass on the message."
"The girl went to great lengths to tell her that the entire horse ranch had been restored to its original state! It's even better than before!"
Liao Ping'an's tone revealed undisguised joy.
Suddenly, he spotted a familiar face not far away, and his smile froze.
