I offer Sonia half of all the gold she makes off of farming the land, and a place to stay while working for me.

Assuming Sonia accepts, I take the time to assist her in learning proper farming techniques. If she does not, I look for alternative candidates.
Helga is to purchase wheat seeds.
Flint is to till the ground for a field with his geomancy.
Sonia, if she accepts, is to learn how to work the land.

we're going to have so many servants later into this

(luckily i have a good name generator)
