The three of them were originally somewhat baffled, but after hearing Hu Xiao's explanation, they still understood Hu Xiao's intentions, and couldn't help but want to quickly put this plan on the agenda so that the citizens of the Sui City can get over this natural disaster.

"There's no time to lose, let's hurry up and check it out. The people here definitely don't understand what's going on. We have to see where this stream is going to go. We have to buy those lands."

Hu Xiao saw that the three of them understood her meaning, and impatiently brought them along, ready to investigate.

In the past few days when she had nothing to do, Hu Xiao had been researching on this matter. Although she already had a plan on how to find the water source, she still had to do it on the spot, if they didn't communicate well, she still needed a backup plan, and without further ado, the few of them had to discuss it before they could leave Hu Xiao's side.

Without stopping, they rushed over to the place Hu Xiao had originally planned.

It was as on the map. He placed the windmill at the bottom layer of the river and passed it up layer by layer. He recorded down the required amount of windmills and then followed the river to memorize the names of the land that he needed to occupy.

Right now, it was actually very simple, he could remember and draw at the same time, and when he reached the city, Hu Xiao's things were completed.

"Alright, let's go. We need to find a few land residents. After all, buying them for two taels of silver is still the right choice."

Hu Xiao was dressed skillfully today, but compared to before, she looked even more valiant and formidable.

"Empress, Young Master Hu, why do we need to use silver taels to purchase these lands? It can be said that we can use it to purchase these lands. Why do we need to spend so much money?"

Zhao Qiyan, who had never felt pain for money in the past, heard the huge sum of money that came out of Hu Xiao's mouth. His heart trembled slightly, but he did not know how to speak of this matter.

"Are you stupid? The commoners are suffering from a natural disaster right now. If the imperial government were to forcefully seize their land, would you agree if you were a commoner?"

Hu Xiao rolled her eyes at Zhao Qiyan, as expected, her brain was really thick.

"If I were one of those victims, I would definitely fight with my life on the line against the imperial government!"

Zhao Qiyan noticed that Hu Xiao was seriously asking him, and so he replied honestly. However, the moment he said that, Zhao Qiyan reacted.

Now that she knew what Hu Xiao meant, she could not help but blush. Why did he ask her about such a stupid thing!

"Alright, you have always been this foolish. It's not like we only just found out now. Why are you being so bashful?"

It was rare for Yin Fufeng to see his good friend in such a state, he immediately said happily, and this was the first time Hu Xiao said that Zhao Qiyan was stupid in such a serious manner, and even made Zhao Qiyan himself realize that he was stupid, Yin Fufeng could not help but to admire him.

After a while, the man who brought Hu Xiao and the others to search for the land had already started to gather the people from the fields that were chosen by Hu Xiao and the others.

"I say, Lai San, why did you gather us together? Someone wants to buy our land? Are you trying to trick us? "How can there be anyone foolish enough to want to buy our land in this world!"

Lai San was the person who led the way for Hu Xiao and the others. She had already lived in the Sui City for more than thirty years, and normally, she passed her days by showing directions to others.

When Lai San came looking for them today, he said words that they did not trust. However, the meaning behind those words caused their hearts to be extremely moved.

"Hey, when will I, Rai San, ever deceive you? If I say it's true, then it's true. Look, these people are the ones who want to buy the land from you. "

After he finished speaking, Lai San pointed at Hu Xiao and the others.

As expected, the group of people who did not trust became more trusting after seeing the way Hu Xiao and the others were dressed.

"I say, these few old men, do you guys know anything about the situation with Sui City? Now that our Sui City has been released, the natural calamities have started to spread. A few old men are now buying up the land of the common women, it's really a disaster … "

The woman really did not finish her sentence, but Hu Xiao heard it. It was because what they were doing was naturally something that they were trying hard to do, and it was something that outsiders would not be able to understand.

"Old man, that doesn't matter. Since we want to buy these lands, that is naturally our principle as well. We cannot tell anyone about it right now, but in the future, everyone will understand."

Hu Xiao suppressed her voice and said.

Although the seniors could not bear to see Hu Xiao like that, they could not resist the temptation of the silver in Hu Xiao's hands. They immediately sighed, they did not know what the heads of these rich people were thinking.

"Then this price?"

Since Hu Xiao had decided to buy it, they would no longer stop him. However, the price also caused the price elder to be extremely worried. After all, with the current situation, he really didn't know how much Hu Xiao and the rest would pay.

Even if Hu Xiao's price was pushed too low, they would still need to think carefully about it since it was not a small matter.

"The price will be based on your previous sales price."

Although the expenditure incurred was huge, Hu Xiao did not want to take advantage of the current situation of these victims.

"Old man, we are naturally aware of your Sui City's situation, and we are also aware of your family's situation, but we are buying your land now because the next thing we are going to do is to benefit the citizens of your Sui City, so the following expenses are extremely huge. Old man, is your price lower than your previous prices?"

Yin Fufeng anxiously said.

At the moment, Qin Shuo had yet to respond, but he did not know the current financial situation, but he knew that this time, the investment in Sui City was too huge, and it was unknown how long it had been before he could take it back, so naturally, he could take it in a bit less.

Hearing that, Hu Xiao frowned, but sshe did not refute anything, after all, he was clearer about the situation in the imperial court.

She was the one who was too impulsive just now.

When the few elders heard that Yin Fufeng was not displeased at all, they thought that the few of them would push the price down very low, but they never expected it to be so reasonable, even if it was slightly lower, they would still not care.

Seeing that Hu Xiao had handed over all of her authority to handle the negotiations, she did not care about anything else and started to discuss the price with the other people.

However, after a short while, they reached an agreement. After paying the silver taels, they wrote down a note and arranged for the people to start immediately.

Passing the place that bought water in the city, she did not see anyone shouting anymore. Seeing that, Hu Xiao nodded her head, this efficiency was what Hu Xiao wanted.

"Why is there no one else selling water?"

"That's right, why aren't you here? If you don't come, won't you want us to die?"

"It's even better if we don't come. Our citizens' lives are already in deep waters. If we have to charge water as well, what should we do in the future?"
