The beginning of the counterattack! The time-traveling boss is famous in Beijing

Qin Ruo has been in constant turmoil since she came here.

After the matter of Wang Lizheng was settled, her life suddenly became free.

Old Mrs. Qin kept clamoring to reclaim the wasteland, but it was just talk.

The current wasteland and fertile farmland in Changhe Village each account for half, and wasteland and barren slopes can be seen everywhere.

When the previous governor was in office, when the villagers did not have enough food, everyone was willing to reclaim wasteland, especially those who had plenty of labor in their families.

Changhe Village is located in a remote area with high mountains and far away emperor. No government officials are in charge of the land reclamation within the village boundaries and no taxes are required.

Although the harvest in the first few years was far less than that from fertile fields, a little bit of food is still meat, and the villagers could still live a decent life.

After spending several years to cultivate the land, it was suddenly forcibly taken back. The villagers involved were not only shocked, but also wanted to die.

Once bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of straw ropes for ten years.

With the shadow of Wang Lizheng's forced land seizure, the villagers are obviously not very enthusiastic about reclaiming wasteland.

No one took the lead and everyone just waited and watched.

Seeing that the villagers were motionless, Old Lady Qin went out with her hoe and came back cursing.

Qin Ruo stayed at home for three days with nothing to do, and she carefully calculated the accounts.

From the money he earned from selling game last time, including the money he received from the government, after purchasing a batch of goods in Datong Township, there is basically only about two taels of silver left.

The ten taels of silver obtained from Old Madam Xie's house were not spent on a single cent.

As for the box of silver in Qin Tiaotiao's space, Qin Ruo only found out later that it could not be moved at all.

The silver in the Great Sheng Dynasty was not a circulating currency at all.

The silver that can be used directly is fine silver, which is silver with official marks, also commonly known as official silver.

As for the ones without official marks, they are generally called loose silver by the people.

In the Dasheng Dynasty, apart from official silver, loose silver could not be used directly.

Except for some black shops, ordinary shops dare not accept it for fear of causing trouble. It must be exchanged for copper coins at places designated by the government before it can be used.

It is completely different from those people in movies and TV shows who just throw a few taels of silver to buy things.

Although the box of silver can be made into small change, there is a great risk in using it.

One carelessness can land you in jail.

After Qin Ruo made the calculation, she realized that apart from the ten taels of silver from the Xie Mansion, she was still a pauper.

If you only spend and don't earn, sooner or later you will run out of money.

Qin Ruo thought about it and decided to buy a piece of wasteland first.

After all, she also wants to deeply experience the joy of "cultivating wealth".

According to the laws of the Great Sheng Dynasty, reclaiming wasteland actually required government approval.

In the past, because Changhe Village was located in a remote area with high mountains and poor land, no one cared about the matter of land reclamation.

In order to prevent future troubles, Qin Ruo decided to go to Taihe County again.

No one cultivates wasteland, but when it is cultivated, people fight for it.

In the past, the villagers were at the mercy of the king because they suffered from the lack of land deeds.

Qin Ruo didn't want to rashly open up new land and then watch the empire he had worked so hard to build being plucked away.

The best way is to hold the title deed firmly in your own hands.

Qin Ruo was a man of action. After making a decision, he immediately set off for the village entrance.

When she went out, Old Lady Qin was taking Qin Zimu to a barren slope not far from the Qin family's house, waving hoes with great noise.

Old Lady Qin waited for three days, but when she saw that the villagers were not moving, she finally lost her patience.

He took Qin Zimu early in the morning and headed straight for the barren slope not far behind the house.

When she and Qin Zimu came out, she saw that Qin Ruo had not gotten up yet, so she did not call her.

In these days, Old Lady Qin has gotten to know Qin Ruo's temperament to some extent.

If Qin Ruoruo doesn't want to do something, no matter how hard she tries, the other party will not be shaken.

Qin Ruo didn't even need to say anything for what she wanted to do.

On the other hand, maybe Old Lady Qin suddenly felt guilty and no longer yelled at Qin Ruo to make money all day long as she did before. She couldn't bear to see her idle.

Qin Ruo has had some quiet time these days.

Now that I have some free time, my complexion has improved a lot.

Old Mrs. Qin looked at Qin Ruo's back, muttered a few words in her heart, dropped her hoe, sat down on the ground, and gasped heavily.

She and Qin Zimu worked on the barren slope for half an hour and cleared out a small piece of land.

When Qin Huaizheng was still alive, he spent most of his time hunting in the mountains, sometimes staying away for several days.

The longest time was even more than ten days.

At that time, the original owner and Qin Ziyan were still young, and Shen had to take on some embroidery work and was completely unable to spare time.

Old Mrs. Qin was busy managing her own family's few acres of thin dry land.

When the villagers were reclaiming the land, the Qin family was the only one that did not participate.

Therefore, for Old Lady Qin, it was the first time to open up new land.

Old Mrs. Qin chose to reclaim the barren slope behind her house because the wasteland near the water source had basically been developed before.

Other places have no water sources or are far away from water sources.

Including the wasteland that Old Lady Qin chose to develop herself.

Old Mrs. Qin thought that although there was no water source here, it was close to home and easy to manage.

There is a well at home, which makes irrigation more convenient later.

At worst, I can just fetch water myself and make a few more trips.

Unfortunately, the slope in front of us is overgrown with thorns and wild trees with deep and dense roots, and there is also gravel on the ground.

In just over half an hour, the palms of the grandfather and grandson had been rubbed red.

But compared with going hungry, this little bit of suffering is nothing.

Old Mrs. Qin just took a short rest and then shouted to Qin Zimu, who was also lying on the ground, to get up and work.

It was already noon when Qin Ruo arrived at the Taihe County Government Office.

Coincidentally, Captain Yu was also there. After several contacts, Captain Yu and Qin Ruo gradually became familiar with each other.

When he saw Qin Ruo, Captain Yu walked up to her and greeted her familiarly.

Upon learning that Qin Ruo wanted to buy the wasteland in Changhe Village, Captain Yu did not think much about it and took her to Master Qian, who was in charge of land transactions.

When Master Qian heard that Qin Ruo wanted to buy wasteland, he looked at Qin Ruo as if he saw a big walking piece of fat meat.

Taihe County is the county with the largest number of barren hills and wastelands among the dozen or so counties in Ganzhou, and it is also the poorest.

When County Magistrate Jiang first took office, he was determined to achieve some political achievements and strongly encouraged the people to reclaim wasteland.

It just remained stagnant with little progress.

Most ordinary people are afraid of taking risks, so many people would rather choose to be tenants than to open up wasteland.

Seeds and farm tools are also a big expense for farmers, on top of the taxes they have to pay.

There will be no visible benefits from newly reclaimed wasteland in the short term.

Even when the land is ripe, it is common to have no harvest in bad years, and paying taxes becomes a huge burden on farmers.

This is also a problem that has always been a headache for County Magistrate Jiang and Master Qian.

The lawyer had also been to Changhe Village.

The soil on the barren slopes and wastelands there is poor and the land is far from water sources, making it extremely difficult to reclaim the land.

Someone offered to buy some wasteland for reclamation, and Master Qian naturally wanted to do just that.

In the end, Qin Ruohua bought 300 acres of wasteland in Changhe Village at the price of 20 wen per acre.

After successfully obtaining the land deed, we just have to wait for Master Qian to bring people to measure the land tomorrow.
