"S Province..." He Zhilan pondered for a bit, then nodded. "True, establishing a plantation will definitely take a lot of effort. In my hometown, connections are not that useful. But in S Province, there's Xing Ye. Many matters can be solved with just a word from her. Furthermore, the land has now been allocated to respective owners. To create a plantation, it's absolutely impossible to purchase such a large plot of land, so we can only proceed by contracting. With Xing Ye around, we don't have to worry about not getting the land we want in S Province due to lack of connections."
Purchasing land is a particularly impractical manoeuvre. Not to mention having Lin Chan's help, that she could borrow from the bank, but a large sum of money like this, even with Lin Chan, the bank would not dare lend to a person like her who has no background or status. So, He Zhilan still wanted to use contracts to lower costs and reduce risk simultaneously.
