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

Driving the carriage, Liu Ruxu was talking to Leng Ruoxue at first, but then she felt a little sleepy.

He fell asleep in the carriage.

I experienced so much this day that as soon as my tense nerves relaxed, I wanted to sleep.

Leng Ruoxue lifted the curtain and found her mother asleep, so she put her mother into her own room in the space and changed into men's clothes and went out.

Tell Leng Yiruoyi that the madam has arrived and is resting. If the madam wakes up, she will make the soap and canned strawberries and everything will be up to her.

I have some things to take care of, so I'll be back later.

When we arrived at the county town, we went straight to the county government office.

After thinking about it, I decided to go find Brother Zhu first.

I am not familiar with the county government and it is easy for me to be troubled.

Brother Zhu had just been running around all day and was taking a rest at the dental clinic.

He was very happy to see Leng Ruoxue coming to see him.

"Young Master Leng, are you here to buy someone or a house today?"

"Go and see the house I rent out"

Leng Ruoxue and Brother Zhu blinked.

"Yes, I haven't seen it for a long time. I'll take you to see it. You'll feel relieved after seeing it."

Brother Zhu was going to drive the carriage, "No, take my carriage!"

"That's fine, young master, get in the car, I'll catch up."

Brother Zhu rushed to drive the car.

After leaving the dental clinic, Leng Ruoxue gave Brother Zhu a ten-liang silver ingot.

"I want to set up a female household and buy some land in Lengjia Village. Please help me. This is your hard work fee."

"Buying land is not difficult, but the tax paid by a female household is higher than that of a male household. Young master, you should think carefully about this."

Lead the way, make yourself familiar, 10 taels of silver, big deal.

Brother Zhu was very happy.

“Think it through carefully”

Leng Ruoxue no longer cares about this little tax.

"Has the village's certificate been issued?"

Leng Ruoxue:……

"No, that's why I went to find Brother Leng."

"This... to establish a female household, the household head needs to agree."

Brother Zhu felt that 10 taels of silver might not be enough to get the job done.

"It is my family's household registration. My brother is the head of the household, and I am the female head of the household registration."

Hearing this, Brother Zhu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This is not a big problem, but if it is convenient, it would be better to open your mother's household registration."

Leng Ruoxue thought about it and decided to open her own household and buy the land in her own name.

It’s hard to say about Leng Yuxuan. When the child grows up and his personality changes, if he wants to divide his mother’s property, his mother is soft-hearted and it will be difficult to deal with.

It’s decided. At worst, I can just give my mother some more banknotes.

With Brother Zhu's guidance, the woman's household registration was completed quickly and she received the certificate after paying the handling fee.

I went to the place where I bought the land again.

Leng Ruoxue found the simple map of Lengjia Village and took a careful look at it.

“How do you sell this mountain?”

"The mountains in Lengjia Village are divided into East Mountain and West Mountain. The East Mountain is relatively flat and has more wild vegetables, while the West Mountain is steep and has more trees."

The clerk in charge did not mention the price, but first talked about the characteristics of the mountain.

He looked at Leng Ruoxue steadily again.

"I want Dongshan, but I don't know the price"

Leng Ruoxue wants to plant fruit trees on the mountain.

"This mountain has just recovered from a severe drought, and many villagers live on wild vegetables. The price of East Mountain is 1500 taels, and the price of West Mountain is 2000 taels. If you want to use it as a hunting ground, the West Mountain has more game, but fewer people hunt."

The clerk quoted the price with regret.

These young masters, just for hunting, destroyed the villagers' livelihood.

"I just want to grow some fruit trees, not hunt"

Leng Ruoxue was puzzled as to why the clerk had such a bad attitude.

"Wouldn't it be more appropriate for you to buy wasteland? This is near the south of Lengjia Village. There are large tracts of wasteland and rivers. Except for the sandy land, it can be used if you take good care of the land and change the soil. Moreover, there is no tax on wasteland for three years."

The clerk tried hard to persuade.

"Oh? Let me take a look."

Leng Ruoxue became interested. She originally wanted to build a villa for her mother.

"There are a total of 150 mu of wasteland here, and one mu is worth one tael of silver. This 20 mu is close to the river, with more stones and sand. This side is close to the East Mountain, and the terrain is a bit high, so it's not easy for the river water to come up, but there is a spring on the mountain, and we can bring it down and use it."

“But I still want to build a villa.”

"The terrain near Dongshan is high, and it's enough to flatten it to build a villa. Moreover, if we build a road from here, we can directly reach the official road, which is much closer to the town than walking from the village. However, no one has built a road, so not many people know about it."

Leng Ruoxue looked at the document in surprise, "How did you know that?"

"When I was building the official road, I spent a lot of time surveying each mountain."

The clerk stroked his gray beard, feeling very proud.

"If the labor force was not limited, we could have opened a road from the East Mountain in your Lengjia Village to the county town. Unfortunately, my proposal was not passed because it is difficult to open a road in this mountain."

"Can you give me some pointers, old man?"

Leng Ruoxue didn't know that Lengjia Village was actually quite close to the county town.

"Forget it, I'll draw you a map. The survey map from that year has already been handed in."

The old man took a pen and paper and drew a rough picture.

After looking at the map, Leng Ruoxue decided to buy Dongshan and the wasteland together.

1650 taels plus tax, the total is less than 1700 taels.

"Young Master, don't you want to leave a way out for the villagers?"

Leng Ruoxue was puzzled.

"If you buy the mountain, will the villagers still be able to go and pick wild vegetables?"

The old man's face turned red with anger.

"I bought the mountain just to give the villagers enough food to eat. Why would I need to dig wild vegetables?"

Leng Ruoxue laughed, "I hired villagers to help me plant fruit trees and build roads. With wages, I get food. Why do they have to dig wild vegetables?"

The old man was a little bit unconvinced, but there was nothing he could do. He was just a clerk and could make things difficult with the procedures, but he had no right to refuse to sell.

After leaving the county government office, Leng Ruoxue thanked Brother Zhu and sent him back to the dental clinic before buying a water clock.

Although the water clock is not that accurate, it can tell time.

It chimes once for each hour, 12 times in total, 12 times means 12 rings.

I bought one big and one small. I plan to use the big one to build a clock tower in my space, and the small one in my yard.

I bought some meat and eggs, then found an open and secluded place to enter the space.

Liu Ruxu has woken up and is instructing everyone how to make canned strawberries.

"Leng Yi, go feed the horses and clean up the horses and the carriage."

Leng Yi went out excitedly.

Everyone is very fond of cows, and even more so horses.

Leng Ruoxue pulled Liu Ruxu back to the yard.

"Ruoxue, how did you find this valley? There are so many strawberries here, and they look better than the ones at home. Did you buy all these people? I think they live better than the children in the village. They can eat enough every day and live in such nice wooden houses. It's a pity that I don't know if the villagers are willing to sell themselves. Otherwise, it would be great if they all came here..."

Leng Ruoxue:……

"Mother, this valley is inaccessible to most people. I discovered it by accident. Moreover, there is no night in this valley, only day, so I call it Yongming Valley."
