The whole family traveled through time, and the best people were actually doing involution in ancien

With the guarantee from the county magistrate, Shen Mingzhu started her business again.

This time, no one was afraid of anyone coming to cause trouble. The county magistrate had come to the Shen family in person to congratulate them. How could anyone be so blind as to dare to cause trouble?

The people of Shenjia Village once again went up the mountain in a mighty procession. They were talking and laughing and having a great time. Some were about to tell dirty jokes, but when they saw Shen Mingzhu was there, they quickly changed their tune and started singing folk songs.

They are really happy that they can earn money again!

They were even more grateful, grateful to the Shen family. Even after they became rich, they did not forget the villagers. During this period, they earned a lot of money with the Shen family, which made the food at home much better.

Some people thought of the feast at Old Shen's house yesterday and couldn't help licking their lips and asked Shen Mingzhu:

"Zhuzhu, when will your family hold a wedding banquet? Your family is really generous. The wedding banquet you held is the first one we have ever seen."

Shen Mingzhu smiled sweetly: "Wait until my dad passes the exam next time?"

"That's great. You ask your dad to study hard and pass the exam as soon as possible so that we can eat meat together."

"No problem, everyone work hard, make more money, and eat more meat."

"I will definitely do my best, haha..."

With the village chief and Shen Laoer supervising Phoenix Mountain, Shen Mingzhu didn't have to worry much. She went to the mountain every day to see if there were any valuable medicinal herbs and plants. One day, several workers were preparing to dig up a big tree. Shen Mingzhu asked them to stop and went forward to take a look.

Isn't this an ash tree? This is a good thing!

"Let's not dig up this tree for now. Let's see if there are any saplings of this tree nearby."

Shen Mingshan asked in confusion: "Zhuzhu, aren't you going to dig up these trees to make a tea mountain? If you don't dig up this tree, it will affect the growth of the tea trees."

Shen Mingzhu walked up carefully to identify the leaves and white flowers of the tree, as well as the small white insects on the branches, and said with a smile:

"I have my own uses, cousin, go around and see if there are any saplings of this tree. They are treasures and cannot be dug up."

Shen Mingshan did not ask any more questions. In his heart, his cousin was more knowledgeable than him. Whatever his cousin said was what it was, and he just had to do it.

Shen Mingzhu carefully recalled the introduction about the ash tree. The ash tree, also known as ash, green palm wood, white thorn tree, etc., is an excellent tree species for preventing wind and sand, protecting embankments and roads. It is not only suitable for making furniture, but also very suitable for raising wax insects.

White wax insects are also the raw material for making candles. White wax can be used as a traditional Chinese medicine and can also be made into candles and wax balls.

The male wax moth inhabits the ash tree and starts to secrete wax after it has settled on the trunk. The wax flowers are harvested and refined before being processed, which has pharmacological effects such as hemostasis, tissue regeneration, and analgesia.

It is mainly used to treat bleeding from wounds, hematuria, bloody stools, and ulcers that do not heal for a long time.

Not long after, Shen Mingshan came over and said that he had found more than a dozen ash trees around. Shen Mingzhu was overjoyed and followed Shen Mingshan to see those ash trees.

At this time, she already had a plan in her mind. If the plan was successful, not only would her cause be further advanced, but it would also solve the employment problems of some people in the village.

Someone saw Shen Mingzhu bezoaring this tree, pointed to a hill not far away and said:

"There are a lot of these trees on the opposite hill. We often use them for firewood."

Shen Mingzhu's eyes lit up, "Where is it? Take me to see it."

After returning from the mountain, Old Lady Shen saw Shen Mingzhu was in high spirits and asked:

"Why are you so happy? Did you find the treasure again?"

"Of course, your granddaughter is very lucky now! She actually found something good. Guess what it is?"

Shen Mingzhu looked naughty as if she was asking "guess what" and made Old Mrs. Shen laugh.

"You little guy, I can guess, I will ask you?"

"Grandma, I found an ash tree on the mountain. Later, I found a mountain full of ash trees. Most importantly, that mountain had no owner."

"Ah! Ash trees? Ash is a good thing. Go buy that mountain and we can open an ash factory in the future."

Shen Mingzhu fantasized about the future with sparkling eyes: "My grandma really understands me. This is exactly what I want. We have opened a white wax factory. If we don't have enough white wax raw materials, we can exchange them in the system."

They acted quickly, and the next afternoon Shen Laosan bought the mountain with the ash tree and the two mountains next to it.

Not only that, Shen Laosan also bought 30 acres of land at the foot of the mountain, near the village, for Shen Mingzhu.

This time, the land deed was also handled for him by Wang Zhubu. Seeing that Shen Mingzhu's name was still on the land deed, he admired Shen Laosan very much.

In today's society where men are valued more than women, it is very rare to find a scholar like Shen Laosan who buys a mountain and puts it in the name of his youngest daughter.

Shen Laosan handed the title deed to Shen Mingzhu. Shen Mingzhu put the title deed into the system space and started the next plan.

Both of the newly purchased mountains can be used to plant ash trees. The other mountain will be left alone for now, and we will see how to plan it when we go up the mountain later.

The thirty acres of land at the foot of the mountain can be built into a factory.

Shen Mingzhu smiled. She now also had her own mountains and land.

The next morning, the sound of the ancestral hall bell rang throughout Shenjia Village.

Members of the Shen family rushed to the dam in front of the ancestral hall. The village chief stood on the steps in front of the hall to quiet down the noisy crowd.

When he said that Shen Lao San decided to share the tax from twenty acres of land with the Shen family members and donated fifty taels of silver to the family, everyone became excited.

There are a total of 47 households in Shenjia Village, and 36 of them are members of the Shen family. Although not every family can get a share of the acres of tax-free land, everyone has a chance!

The produce from the fields was not much to begin with, and a portion of the grain had to be handed over to the government. After paying the taxes, there was not enough food for the large family.

Now that we have the opportunity to enjoy tax exemption, how can we not be happy?

Not to mention that Shen Lao San also donated fifty taels of silver, fifty taels of silver! But that's ten years of income for ordinary people.

The Shen family members were very excited and thanked the old Shen family and the third Shen.

"After discussion among several of our elders, we decided to put these fifty taels of silver into the clan first. These fifty taels of silver will be used as scholarships to reward students. Do you have any objections?"

Everyone shouted in unison: "No."

Nonsense, how could they have any objection? This is a blessing from heaven. Well, when I go back, I must make sure my children study hard and bring honor to the family like Shen Lao San and his son.

Everyone thought the village chief had finished speaking, but then he dropped some important good news that made everyone dizzy with joy.

"Mingzhu from the Shen family has bought three more mountains and thirty acres of land. She will make plans on the other three mountains. She will recruit workers at my house tomorrow. Those who want to work can come to my house to register."

"boom!"

When the news came out, everyone became excited.

God knows how envious those who were not chosen as the village chief were when they saw those working in Phoenix Mountain, earning three hundred copper coins a month!

That’s more than three taels of silver a year, which is a great thing!

They only earned 120 to 150 copper coins a month working outside, but Shen Mingzhu paid them double the wages.

The most important thing is that the work is done right at my doorstep, so I can save money on buying meals outside, which is really a great thing!

Old Master Shen was grinning all the way. There was nothing he could do as there were too many people coming to compliment him and praise his granddaughter.
