Wait for me, and watch me fight my way back to the reincarnation path

So, Qin Qiong went out yesterday to find a place to accommodate these people.

Because the land in the refugee area must be taken back by Guanli.

She and Tingyu went out for a walk yesterday and finally found a small village at the foot of a big mountain behind.

However, it can no longer be called a village now.

Because this place is almost deserted.

This is a village with more than 40 thatched houses.

Now there is only one family, and they are a family of stonemasons.

Why is there no one?

First, the arable land in this village was destroyed bit by bit due to rock flow in the past few years, and now there is no land that can be cultivated.

Second, this place was looted by horse bandits a few years ago.

Later, he was forced to do forced labor several times and died.

The stonemason's family also had only his mother and daughter-in-law at home.

The men in the family all work outside and usually come back only after finishing a job.

The reason they still live in this place is because they want to collect stones from the mountain behind.

There is a mountain behind this, but it is just a barren mountain.

From the direction of the village, there seemed to be nothing on the mountain.

Apart from weeds, there are stones, mostly stones.

This mountain has no name and is not very big.

According to the old woman, there used to be trees and birds on the mountain.

But later, when they wanted to build a road outside the capital, they had to get wood and stones from this barren mountain. By the time other places were built, this place... was deserted.

Qin Qiong chatted with the stonemason's mother for a while, then ran up the mountain for a walk.

He shook his head and said to Tingyu, "This village hasn't been flooded by the flowing rocks yet. It's really lucky!"

In this way, Qin Qiong determined that this place could be used as the future residence of these refugees.

However, if the young master wants people to move in, he has to go to the local government office to buy this place.

Are you wondering why the refugees don't live there even though there are empty houses there?

It’s actually very simple, they are refugees.

Many people themselves do not have identity cards and travel permits, so they have no right to stay there or occupy other people's houses. Once the government comes to their door, they will be subject to hard labor.

Besides, even if they have identity and want to stay in the local area, it is not easy.

Because if you want to set up a household, you will have to start paying taxes and performing labor service.

But where do they get the money to buy land and real estate?

Besides, there is not even a decent piece of land around this place, how can they live?

Also, this place is nestled deep in the mountains and it takes half a day to get out.

If someone moves in and works for a day, they can't go back at night.

It would be more convenient to live in the refugee area.

So, can Xiaoyan arrange accommodation?

Of course, because the young master is from a duke family, their family does not pay taxes or perform corvée labor.

This is the characteristic of this era.

If you sell yourself to the Principality, you won’t have to worry about many things.

The Duchy will take care of things for you.

So... selling yourself is not such a bad thing?

...Qin Qiong tilted his head and thought for a long time.

As soon as everything was arranged this morning, Qin Qiong asked Ye Luo to go to the local government office to go through the procedures for buying the place and the barren mountain together.

Ye Luo came back in the evening.

There's no need for a lot of money. That place has been deserted for a long time.

The government nowadays is looking forward to having someone move in, and when they heard it was the young master, they were overjoyed.

He symbolically collected ten taels of silver and mortgaged the land.

Of course, it will take some time to complete the procedures and the title deed, but the young master can send someone to live there.

At this point, today's work is basically done.

Although it is tiring, seeing so many people give me some hope for my future life.

Xiaoyan and the others were still very happy.

The next morning, several people set out.

They first arranged for the people in the refugee area to cook their own meals, and then let them dismantle the sheds.

The dismantled grass chains and wood were transported to the small village, and they were told that this was their new home.

Houses will still be allocated to each household.

Because there were many children and women, and not many households, everyone just squeezed together.

Finally, everything was arranged.

Anyway, it’s not a room for each person.

Zhang He asked them to use the wood and straw chains they brought to repair the house first.

Because they can only spend this winter here.

Afterwards, they arranged for several half-grown children who looked good among the refugees to be distributed some food, salt and sugar to each family.

The servants of the Li Mansion went to the city again, and this time they bought a lot of daily necessities and a large amount of cloth and cotton.

However, cloth and cotton were not distributed directly to each household. Instead, each household was asked to send someone to work in the temple to make some cotton clothes, quilts, etc.

While the people below were doing this, Qin Qiong went up the mountain with Xiao Yan and General Xiao Li.

Xiaoyan didn't know when Qin Qiong arranged for someone to buy the mountain.

I just heard Ye Luo talk about it yesterday and I was shocked.

Not only was Xiaoyan frightened, General Xiaoli was even more so...

In fact, most of the time when he looked at Qin Qiong, his mouth was open.

“What did you buy this mountain for?”

After reaching the top of the mountain, Xiaoyan asked Qin Qiong for the seventh time.

"Complete your noble act of saving the world, supporting the country, and saving the people from danger."

"What do you mean? Buying a mountain like this with nothing on it?"

"Yes, even though this mountain doesn't look very good now, as long as it is transformed bit by bit, it will give you a surprise... You can't be impatient, there must always be a beginning, right?"

Qin Qiong blinked at Xiaoyan, as if he had found a treasure.

"But... there's really nothing on this mountain."

Xiaoyan looked at Qin Qiong with some embarrassment.

He did look. As soon as Qin Qiong said he would buy this place, he took a look and found that there was really nothing on this mountain.

It’s not that the mountain is barren.

However, compared to other places, this mountain is really unpredictable.

There are no mines, no arable land, and nothing but stones. The geographical location is a bit special...

The kind that is particularly troublesome.

"I know"

Qin Qiong shrugged and said, "If there is anything good in this mountain, it won't be our turn."

"So you bought it to accommodate these refugees? If it's just a place to live, you don't have to buy it. Besides, you saw that there will be rocks falling from this mountain, so you can't live there for long." Xiaoyan didn't understand.

"I know that if we leave it alone, this village will soon be buried by the flowing rocks."

"then you?"

"Xiaoyan, there really is a generation gap between us..."

Qin Qiong shook his head and said, "Go up and take a closer look. What's on the other side of the mountain?"

Xiaoyan and General Xiaoli hurried to the top of the mountain together and stood there to look around.

Behind this barren mountain there is a river, a very wide river.

There is a branch at the foot of the mountain that flows into the river, which should be the flow that flows out from the mountains.

The river at the foot of the mountain is not only wide, but also a bit fast.

Looking further away, you can see some docks in the distance. There should be a large pier over there.
