Zhou Jinran thought to himself, this is not an improvement in her martial arts skills at all.

It was her divine power that she hardly ever used that finally came in handy.

On the first day she came into this world, she took a magic pill, thinking that she could use it often since she had supernatural powers.

But who would have known that it was rarely used along the way, and it was only used now that we arrived at the place of exile.

Seeing that they had made some progress, the two men decided not to stay on the mountain any longer.

He dragged the unconscious roe deer down the mountain.

"Hey, you are lucky. You caught prey the first time you went up the mountain."

When Lin Qing'an's father saw Zhou Jinran and the others dragging the roe deer down the mountain, he gave them a foolish smile.

"Uncle Lin, we just happened to meet by chance."

Seeing that Uncle Lin didn't show any unusual emotions, Wang Yaoxing and the others looked much better too.

After all, Uncle Lin is the son of the village chief, and his attitude can sometimes represent the attitude of the village chief.

Knowing this, Zhou Jinran and his friends took the roe deer directly back to the stone house.

Not long after returning to the stone house, the roe deer woke up.

In fact, the roe deer should have woken up when they were dragging it all the way.

But Wang Yaoxing kept watching, and as soon as he saw the roe deer showing signs of waking up, he would hit it with a stick.

This is why when Uncle Lin and the others saw the roe deer just now, they thought the roe deer was dead.

I still had lunch at Wang Yaoming's place.

Even Uncle Lin, who came to help measure the foundation, and Lin Qing'an, who was talking to Zhou Jin'an and the others, were among them.

Zhou Jinran and his friends, who originally planned to go to Nanze City after a day or two, went directly to Nanze City after lunch.

With the carriage available, travel is fast and there is no need to worry about being too late.

When they went to Nanze City, they took Lin Qing'an with them.

Along the way, Lin Qingan kept talking, and kept talking about the rare times when he went out.

It was also at this time that Zhou Jinran and his companions learned that the reason why General Pang took care of Hujiao Village was because the village chief and villagers of Hujiao Village had once saved the lives of General Pang and his companions.

In addition, the outside world does not want to deal with the people of Hu Village, which makes them controlled by others in some aspects.

That's why General Pang and his men wanted to lend a helping hand and let people from outside know about it, so as to help them buy things from the outside world and sell their own excess things.

Although the effect is not good, it is better than not communicating with outsiders at all.

Therefore, people in Huojiao Village rarely go out.

Instead, I rarely go out once every one or two months.

This is how Lin Qing'an went out with his family.

Knowing this, Zhou Jinran felt a little sad about the impermanence of life.

But there is no specific way to solve this problem.

Besides, even if they are in the village, they don’t seem to be affected much to people outside.

Therefore, what happens in the future depends on how things develop.

In any case, Zhou Jinran would not take the initiative to take charge of this matter.

"Hey, this horse carriage is much faster than an oxcart. When we first came to Nanze City, it took us more than two hours to ride an oxcart."

Looking at Lin Qing'an, he was more excited to go out than in the village and looked more like a child.

Zhou Jinran and the others felt somewhat amused but also somewhat sad.

If they hadn’t come to this place this time, with their previous living environment.

It seems that they don't pay attention to these, or even understand them.

"Today when you come to the city, you can have fun however you want. It's up to you."

As a person who can adjust the atmosphere and is eloquent, Wang Yaoxing said.

It doesn't seem to be difficult to coax a child.

Knowing that Zhou Jinran and the others all had things to do, Wang Yaoxing took charge of leading people and buying things.

After Wang Yaoxing and Lin Qing'an left, Zhou Jinran looked at her second brother and elder brother.

"Second brother, brother, let's split up and let Xiaojiu and the others send messages to each other if there is anything."

Zhou Jinan originally disagreed with his sister taking action on her own, but they did have things to do and his sister had the ability to protect herself, so he agreed with her.

Zhou Jinran was going to continue what he was doing before.

Although I wasn't sure whether to grow medicinal herbs before, I've already thought about it.

She no longer hesitated. Now she wanted to take a look at the specific situation in Nanze City first, and then return to the village to make follow-up plans.

Along the way, Zhou Jinran asked the check-in system to mark every place she stopped.

This was a function she had discovered during her time in exile.

Once marked, the check-in system can be expanded to places thousands of meters away based on the point.

Although the distance is also limited, fortunately no matter how it is restricted, it is still of some use, so Zhou Jinran doesn't care.

What's more, she really likes marking the locations, which is like drawing a detailed map.

After all, this place is not like the world of her previous life. As long as she has a mobile phone, she can search immediately if she wants to know what is somewhere.

Now she has a sign-in system, and in addition to the maps drawn by the system, the marked data can also be saved directly.

As long as Zhou Jinran needs to use it in the future, the sign-in system will be able to directly display what is at each point after expansion, just like searching for other information.

For example, the place she marked in Nanling City before.

The place she marked was a small shop selling food and other things near the edge of Nanling city.

Now, when she thinks of that point in her mind, the sign-in system will mark the shops selling various seeds or mountain products around the grain shop.

So now Zhou Jinran is also marking points in Nanze, waiting for the check-in system to fully expand the map based on these points.

Even if she didn't go out, she could clearly know the situation in Nan Ze City.

This function is somewhat counterintuitive.

After all, Zhou Jinran knew that this was not her world, and it was only natural for these things to exist in her world.

Zhou Jinran, who marked every distance he walked, now had some new opinions about Nanze City in his mind.

It seems that after visiting so many cities, no matter how big or small, none of them have as many beggars or homeless people as in this city.

[Host, some of those people are abandoned babies.]

When Zhou Jinran heard the words of the sign-in system, he was confused.

After all, in her impression, those who were abandoned were usually girls or people with physical defects.

But now, she not only saw that most of the people were men.

Seeing that the host didn't speak, the sign-in system spoke directly.

[Host, what you see are only a minority. Many more beggars and the like are now living in dilapidated temples outside the city.

It was also the end of the year, so almost all the people who came out were men. After all, even if they were beggars, sometimes men could make people more tenderhearted than women.]

"Could this make people feel soft-hearted as I guessed before?"

Zhou Jinran said before that most abandoned babies are boys, and that’s because in this world, many people are proud to have sons.

If people see a boy being abandoned, their first reaction will almost always be sympathy, rather than being driven away directly like the female beggar.

In fact, from Zhou Jinran's point of view, in other places of this dynasty, at least in the places she had been, there did not seem to be so many restrictions on women.

Even if a girl is born, she will hardly be abandoned.

Zhou Jinran thought that not only Hujiao Village was strange, but even Nanze City was strange.

But when she saw so many homeless people, an idea came to her mind.

It seemed like she could also do something like the orphanage in her previous life in this place.

Taking these people in and finding someone to teach them survival skills will not only directly solve the problem of needing manpower in the future, but also provide these beggars and abandoned babies with a place to stay.

Of course, even if it wasn't to solve the manpower problem, her doing this would still be a good deed.

As someone who is in urgent need of merit, she will not miss any opportunity to earn merit.

No matter how fast Zhou Jinran was, he could only mark one third of Nanze City.

When they returned to gather, the faces of several people were not very good.

Yes, this Nan Ze city is more chaotic than any other city they have ever seen.

Even though Nanling is also in chaos, it is indeed not as good as Nanze.

"Go back first, and we'll talk about it when we get back."

Except for Lin Qing'an who was still excited, everyone else sat in the car in silence.

Although the sensible and intelligent Lin Qing'an didn't know what was going on at first, he was also a person who could read people's expressions.

Now he felt that the atmosphere was not right and put away the smile on his face.

When Zhou Jinran and the others saw this, they put away their strange expressions and looked at the golden dried fish in Lin Qingan's hand with some curiosity.

"Qing'an, isn't there a fish processing workshop in your village? Why did you buy this dried fish?"

"Sister Ran, this fish is different from the one made in our village. It's delicious. You should try it."

Zhou Jinran looked at the dried fish that Lin Qingan handed over and reached out to take it.

As soon as she put it in her mouth, she tasted the flavor of dried fish.

It was a mixture of salty and sweet, and she didn't like the taste very much.

Whether in the past or now, she likes the taste of sweet is sweet, salty is salty.

However, seeing Lin Qingan enjoying the meal, Zhou Jinran did not say anything to spoil the fun, but turned to ask other questions.

"Qing'an, do people in your village like to eat this dried fish?"

Lin Qing'an chuckled, then seemed a little embarrassed.

"Sister Ran, not everyone in our village likes this taste. For example, my dad and his family don't like it. Only us kids like it."

Zhou Jinran thought, no wonder, if everyone likes it, with General Pang as a backer, knowing the method of making it, it doesn’t seem that difficult.

After all, she had seen this kind of dried fish in more than one stall or shop.

I guess this isn't some secret recipe.

However, compared to Zhou Jinran, Wang Yaoxing and others seem to be more accepting of this taste.

"The taste of this dried fish is quite unique. If it were sold elsewhere, I'm afraid it would be profitable in the first few times."

As a businessman, when Wang Yaoming encounters something new, his first reaction is to the sales volume of the thing.

Zhou Jinan, the second businessman, nodded repeatedly and did not forget to speak.

"That's true. Things like this have never appeared in the capital."

Children seem to like this kind of dried fish more, just like Lin Qing'an.

But they are just thinking about it now. After all, the distance from here to the capital is really far.

It is obviously unrealistic to just take the dried fish away.

Otherwise, this business opportunity might be discovered by more than just those who have just arrived in Nanze.

When we returned to Hujiao Village, it was already dark.

After sending Lin Qing'an back, Zhou Jinran and the other three started walking towards their residence.

"This village is so quiet. It doesn't look like the New Year is coming soon at all."

Looking at the village without any bustle, Wang Yaoxing's tone was full of emotion.

"This Hujiao Village is big, but there aren't many people, so even if there are lively places, the noise won't be very loud."

What Zhou Jinran said was not wrong. When she came over, she did see that some people were busy.

But looking at Wang Yaoxing, there were a lot of people in the Wang family before, and there were busy markets everywhere around, so it must have been very lively.

This time, it’s fortunate that my two brothers have to spend the New Year in a foreign land.

But she didn't dare say this to her two brothers. After all, if she did, she would definitely be refuted by them.

At this time, they had already entered the yard and immediately started eating the meal prepared by Uncle Wang and others.

After finishing their meal, the four of them prepared to move to another place and talked about their trip to Nan Ze City today.

But before they could start, Uncle Wang came in and spoke.

"Master and Miss, not long after you left the village today, the Zhou family came to look for you."

Zhou Jinran knew that the Zhou family came to visit him perhaps because they were planning to build a house in the future.

She had discussed this matter with her brother yesterday, but they didn't come this morning. Zhou Jinran thought that the Zhou family had already thought of other solutions.

Who knows they will send someone over in the afternoon.

But I'll have to look into this matter again tomorrow.

At this time, Wang Yaoming spoke first. He was with Zhou Jinan. Today they were mainly investigating the business places in Nanze City and the attitudes of Nanze City officials towards business.

"Nan Ze City is always too far away from the capital, so the officials here don't do their job. The phenomenon of officials bullying the people or the businessmen is quite serious."

This was also the reason why Wang Yaoming and Zhou Jinan looked unhappy before.

After all, if officials behave like this, it will have a significant impact on their future plans.

For example, if they invest the same amount of money and do the same business in other places, even in Beijing, they can get two or three times the return on their investment at the beginning.

But if you were to do the same business with the same capital in Nanze City, not only would you not make any profit, you would even have to lose several times the money.

What is it used for? Of course, it is used to use money to open up connections between officials in Nanze City.

In other places, there would be no need to open such a channel. I am afraid that if any official had such an idea, he would be impeached by the censor the next day and would have to pack up his bedding and go to farm.

"That's what I saw, but I asked Lin Qing'an and they seemed to be accustomed to this kind of situation."

After hearing what her brother said, Zhou Jinran responded directly.

"I'm afraid it's not that they are used to it, but that they have never seen the situation outside. Otherwise, there would be people who would plead for the people."

What Zhou Jinran said was not wrong. Looking at the situation in Nanze City, the people here seemed to have not noticed anything.

It is said that many people come to Nanze Nanling every year, and they all leave after they come.

But as mentioned above, they didn't seem to notice these abnormalities.
