An acre of land, based on the family's production over the past two years, can sell for four to five taels of Silver! Ten acres would be forty to fifty taels. That's quite a lot, and besides, after harvesting rice or wheat, you can still grow some legumes to enrich the soil.

"Why didn't I hear you mention it?" Mr. Gu felt very surprised, after all, Gu Chengyu hadn't discussed it with the family before.
"I only thought of it when mentioning building a memorial arch, the ancestral hall has become quite dilapidated!"
