Traveling back to ancient times begins with the use of stone tools

Before the crops were harvested, Leng Ruoxue used her own money to support people.

So after the land is planted, people cannot sit idle.

Adobe began to acquire.

Firewood has also started to be purchased.

The space did not experience winter and was directly synchronized with the weather outside.

The canal construction began.

After the canal is built, the reservoir is built. After the reservoir is built, the road is built.

The elderly and weak women are responsible for weeding and watering the fields, while the men go out to work, and they all get points.

The road being built this time connects Qingyuan County and surrounding counties, and the county government does not have to pay for it. The various county governments turned a blind eye and secretly facilitated the road construction.

The road was built to Heyuan County. The governor of Heyuan County was quite nice and sent a lot of food.

"County Lady Leng, do you still want to continue the repairs? Just tell me where you need to repair. I can only give you so much food, but I can provide you with some more manpower."

Leng Ruoxue didn't hesitate and marked out several main routes, including three roads in the counties surrounding Heyuan County.

Although they say they are repairing the road, they are not actually opening the road. They are just repairing the road surface, so the speed is still very fast.

Leng Ruoxue didn't want the person, and she asked her to bring out half of the people in the county. She didn't want to support anyone anymore.

When they passed through a county town during the road construction, the county government gave them some food symbolically. Leng Ruoxue did not despise it because she knew that Heyuan County was poor and the county government was even poorer.

I just asked the county government for help to order some farm tools, iron pots and copper wire.

The road was repaired. It was early June and Leng Ruoxue led his men back to Qingyuan County. The first crop of grain was ripe.

The average yield per mu was 170 kilograms, 50 kilograms per mu higher than the original output of the land. Together with the fish released in the rice fields, the harvest shocked everyone.

If this land belonged to me, would I still worry about not having enough food to eat every year?

The fish in the rice fields were distributed to the villagers.

These days, everyone was greedy, so they used their points to exchange for some oil residue, and divided up so many fish at once. The smart ones had already taken them to the county town to sell them.

By the time the people behind reacted, the price was already very low.

Some families had surplus food from the points they exchanged for, so they didn’t sell the fish and instead dried it and stored it.

Then the land was plowed and the grown seedlings were planted.

This time we planted soybeans.

After planting the land, Leng Ruoxue renovated the county town.

The original county town was not moved, but a new town was built on wasteland near Lengjia Village.

The new and old county towns carried out water supply and drainage renovations simultaneously.

A wind power station was built in the former Fufeng Village, supplying electricity to the entire county.

Each village also has hydroelectric power generation through reservoirs and dams.

Electricity is only supplied to street lights. Each household that needs electricity has to pay for it themselves. In addition to the installation fee, it costs one cent per kilowatt-hour.

In addition to the installation fee, tap water costs one cent per kilowatt-hour.

The villagers were reluctant to use it at first, but later someone did the math and found out that one day's work of chopping wood could be exchanged for one pound of rice, and one day's work of making adobe bricks could be exchanged for one pound of rice, and one pound of rice cost 25 cents.

It would be great to chop firewood when there is time to fetch water.

Sometimes I felt tired and didn’t want to move, so I used tap water. The oil lamp at home was not bright enough... Lighting an oil lamp all night cost more than electricity, but gradually I accepted the price.

Anyway, you can use points to offset it.

Just use it sparingly.

The rich families in the county town didn't care, and with the convenience of the washrooms in the village as a reward, they all paid for them.

At first, no one realized Leng Ruoxue's intention of building roads, but slowly, as more and more people knew about the Lengjia Village wharf, new trade routes appeared.

Where there are trade routes, there will be demands from all walks of life, especially demand for manpower.

But with Leng Ruoxue's labor prices, the local labor prices are not high, but they can't be lowered either. If you encounter someone in a hurry, you will still hire people even if the price is high.

In this way, when the beans were harvested, the greenhouses began to be built again. Some smart farmers had already earned money and got their own property deeds.

In addition to the work in the greenhouse, there are job seekers everywhere in the wharf and county town, so without Leng Ruoxue's arrangements, the people in the village can support themselves.

Leng Ruoxue finally breathed a sigh of relief.

There's really nothing to fix.

The green vegetables in the greenhouse start to be produced in November. Except for those that are regularly sent to the capital, all other vegetables are snatched up by merchants as soon as they arrive in the county town.

The glass factory and toilet paper factory expanded several times, and the people in Lengjia Village worked in these three factories besides farming.

Lengjia Village, which now has a wharf, inns, restaurants and warehouses, has recovered the money it invested in it. Moreover, each family has received a considerable amount of silver, making the village well-known for its wealth in the vicinity.

Village schools have also been set up. All boys and girls aged 5 to 8 must go to school. Those who do not go will not receive any dividends.

There are small tests every month, and the top three children in the tests will be rewarded with 3,2,1, , and taels of silver.

The money is not much, but for the children, it is not a small amount, more than what he can earn from working.

Gradually, no one was against girls studying anymore.

With more people, there is a greater demand for meat and vegetables. Many villagers saw that the village's chickens and pigs were selling very well, and the village's breeding technology was not kept secret. Points could be exchanged for chickens and piglets, so every family raised chickens and piglets.

As the news spread that the points were about to be cleared, everyone in the village exchanged their points for food, cloth, chickens and other things.

It's a pity that we can't cultivate the land ourselves. After working with them for a year, we all know what to do to make money and are looking forward to the three-year land lease period.

Before the Spring Festival, the village chief finally brought good news to everyone.

The land can be returned to everyone in advance for farming, and the grain tax will be changed to silver, with the tax for one acre of land being 1.5 taels of silver per year.

Abolish the population tax.

If the land tax is not paid enough for three years and the rent is not paid enough for five years, the land and yard will be taken back.

Once the greenhouses are dismantled, the fields will be returned to each household.

Leng Ruoxue hasn't recovered her capital yet, but she wants to let go.

I really don't care about this little bit of money. When I first came up with this idea, I just wanted everyone to have enough food to eat.

Now that I have taught you the method, if you starve to death again, it is your own business.

We originally thought it would take three years to feed everyone, but thanks to the dock, everyone was able to eat within one year.

Glass factories, soap factories, and toilet paper factories all have huge incomes, so much that the income is just a number.

With the addition of the county’s commercial taxes, there would be no problem in supporting a few more people in the county.

Leng Ruoxue had some free time, and was considering whether to deliver something to the Eighth Prince or return to the capital to celebrate the New Year. Then a maid came and said that the Leng family's old house wanted to invite Leng Ruoxue to come over.

Leng Ruoxue just remembered that except for the day she came back and delivered something to the old house, she had been so busy that she forgot about the old house and had not sent any money for a whole year.

I agreed and went to the old house tomorrow.

Leng Ruoxue didn't wake up until noon the next day.

Eunuch Li is here.

"County Master, the power plant in the capital has been waiting for yours for a year. You said it was safe, and it has been verified. Can you build a power plant for the capital now?"

"It's ready. The machine is ready and the wires are almost ready. As long as the conditions for installation are met in Beijing, we can use electric lights before the Spring Festival."

Leng Ruoxue was so busy that she forgot about this matter. If Eunuch Li hadn't come, she wouldn't have remembered it.
