Chapter 441: Chapter 437: The Actions of the Four Clans

East City Outskirts

Since yesterday, the Bai, Wan, Bie, and Pan clans, the four great esteemed families, began to jointly collect grain and handle their assets.

As the three families who have been recognized by Xiling for having merged with the Xu Sheng family, it is unknown how they joined forces with the Wan family. People in Xiling say that the three families have a deep bond.

Rumors circulated among the populace that the four great families were preparing to move their clans to Yuanzhou, and thus needed to deal with all the assets in Xiling.

The prices were exceedingly fair. A shop along the Golden Avenue only needed a million pounds of grain. A courtyard house in the city center could be bought with just one cargo ship. The prices for ordinary stores and wine shops were cheap to the point of craziness. Except for the fact that they only wanted new grain, the only things they accepted in exchange were chariots, beast-drawn carriages, cargo ships, and warships.

People understood their reasons. After all, Yuanzhou was 30,000 miles away, reachable by both land and water routes. A family clan of at least tens of thousands of people migrating 30,000 miles would require food and transportation resources of breathtaking proportions.

Xiling has nine major families. The other five, seeming to spot a rare opportunity, immediately went to the four families and secured deals. In just one day, the properties of the four families in Xiling had been largely swapped. Apart from a few high-value shops and family lands that hadn’t been settled yet, the ownership of all others had been transferred.

The stewards under the four families had all been sent out to collect grain, specifically the new harvest from the people of Xiling.

As beneficiaries of the ‘Five Acres of Farmland Decree1, the citizens of Xiling were finally able to stop worrying about food. The first group that had cleared their farmland had even wrapped up their first harvest.

Some Xiling free citizens, who were doing small businesses, saw their family sizes grow and managed to secure dozens of acres of farmland.
