I have been farming since I crossed over.

Yang Mingxi lay there sighing for a moment, then entered the space and began to gather the last batch of soybeans. Because she had planted a few more batches of rice, fearing she wouldn't have enough rice seeds, today was the harvest time for the last batch of soybeans. After harvesting tonight's soybeans, she could light up the next small box.

Yang Mingxi was still looking forward to what would be in the next small box. Would it be vegetables or fruits?

Yang Mingxi entered the space and quickly began to collect the soybeans. It was almost three acres of land. Perhaps it was because she was in a bad mood today, or because her feet were still a little sore, but it took Yang Mingxi three hours. By the time she finished collecting the soybeans in the space, she was so tired that she didn't want to move.

Thinking about the newly opened small box, Yang Mingxi endured the fatigue and came to the bamboo house. Seeing the lit small box, Yang Mingxi smiled.

Watermelon, it's actually a watermelon. This is a very rare fruit, isn't it? Yang Mingxi quickly planted it, thinking that the gentle slope above her wasteland was just right for growing watermelons. She really wanted someone to hand her a pillow just when she dozed off.

When everything was done and they were out of the space, Yang Mingxi felt that it was almost the beginning of the morning, so he quickly lay down and fell asleep.

When Yang Mingyu and Yang Mingyang got up, they found Yang Mingxi was still asleep, so they left Yang Mingyu waiting here, and called her to get up when it was time for breakfast, and go to Old Yang's house for breakfast.

Yang Mingyang first went back to discuss with his elder brother and others about borrowing money from his grandmother's house.

In the fifth branch of the Yang family, people from several families gathered together. Old Mrs. Yang took out five taels of silver, which was almost all the savings of her and Old Man Yang. Old Fifth Yang accepted the silver and Yang Minghu carefully recorded it in a notebook.

Boss Yang took out a box and all the silver inside, leaving only the copper coins. He counted them and found there were thirty-two taels, which he handed to Old Five Yang.

Yang Laoer looked at the silver and money his eldest brother took out, glanced at his wife Liu, and said with a smile, "We have collected all the money in our family. We will buy the land first and save money to build a house later." Without thinking, Liu took out her purse and poured it all on the table. She counted all the silver and there were 63 taels. Yang Laoer handed it to Yang Laowu and kept the remaining copper coins.

No one from Yang Laosan's family participated in the hunting, so they relied on Yang Laosan's wages and Qian's dowry to collect ten taels.

Yang Laosi's family took out all the money belonging to Hai Xiaozi's wife and gave 41 taels to Yang Laowu.

The sixth and seventh families also contributed five taels each, and a pile of silver and money was placed on the table, which looked quite spectacular.

Yang Mingyang was arranged by Wu to live with his grandmother.

When Yang Mingxi and Yang Mingyu came over, everyone had already left, and they saw a pile of silver on their table.

Wu took out all the silver and money she had on her, leaving only eight taels, less than a little. Yang Mingxi took seven taels and returned the rest to Wu, asking her to keep it for herself.

The eldest sister-in-law, Zou, also took out her dowry, which was also a little more than two taels. Yang Mingxi took two taels, asked her eldest brother to keep a record of it, and returned the remaining copper coins to the eldest sister-in-law.

It was originally thought that the Yang family could only collect 120 taels at most, but with the money from Mrs. Wu and the eldest sister-in-law, the total amount was 170 taels, which was completely beyond Yang Mingxi's expectations.

Yang Mingxi looked at the silver coins on the table. They represented the solidarity and mutual support among family members, who were willing to give their savings to help their loved ones. This kind of family warmth and support was incredibly comforting and demonstrated the power of family affection. In difficult times, family members are always the strongest support, willing to lend a hand and overcome difficulties together.

Yang Mingxi pursed her lips tightly and secretly made up her mind to lead her family well and live a happy life.

Yang Mingxi took out all the silver and money on him, put them together, and put them in a big bag, which was about 290 taels.

After a while, Lu Jintang came over with five secret guards and three mules.

As soon as they sat down to eat, Lu Jintang took out a silver note of 100 taels and said, "This is the money for food for us master and servants. We just went to the county. According to the three of us eating, we have to give your family about three taels of silver every day. This is for three months. You keep it first. I will give you more when it is not enough." After that, he handed the silver note to Yang Mingxi.

Tears welled up in Yang Mingxi's eyes several times, but she held them back. She knew that Lu Jintang was helping her, and he must have heard the conversation between the brother and sister last night.

Yang Mingxi looked at Lu Jintang and saw herself clearly in his eyes. Yang Mingxi smiled and said, "Mr. Lu, thank you! I'll keep the money for now. If you want anything to eat, just tell me."

Mrs. Wu and Yang Laowu were about to say something, but when they saw that Yang Mingxi was silent again, they knew what their daughter looked like, so they should have taken it and used it first!

After breakfast, Lu Jintang followed Yang Mingxi to the wasteland. Yang Mingxi looked at the three brand new plows and the big plow head lying on the ground, smiled at Lu Jintang, and thanked him solemnly.

Soon, Qin Shi Huang, accompanied by two yamen runners and followed by the Niu family, arrived at the wasteland. Qin Shi Huang saw the county magistrate's uncle from afar, remembered the county magistrate's instructions, put away his official authority, and walked towards the wasteland.

Arriving at the edge of the wasteland, Master Qin pointed at Lu Jintang and his group and said, "Boss Niu, I told you this wasteland is owned by someone, but you refused to believe me. They've already reported it to us, and they're planning to let us measure it?"

Lu Jintang pulled Yang Mingxi by the arm, and together they came to Master Qin and said, "Master Qin, thank you for making this trip in person. This wasteland was reclaimed by the fifth branch of the Yang family. I'd like you to measure it so we can get the land deed done together. This will prevent some people from taking advantage of it instead of doing their job."

The two yamen runners saw Master Qin and Lu Jintang greeting each other and knew that they were acquaintances. They looked at each other and began to measure the land.

Lu Jintang glanced at Lu Da, and Lu Da hurriedly followed the two yamen runners. In a place where no one could see, he gave each of them a five-liang silver ingot. The two yamen runners were even happier. After a while, they measured the wasteland and reported 150 acres.

Lu Jintang nodded and looked at Yang Mingxi and said, "Which ones do you want to buy? Tell Master Qin right away and we'll get them all at once to save them having to make two trips."

Yang Mingxi pointed to the gentle slope above and below. Master Qin looked at it and said, "This cannot be calculated as wasteland, but only as barren hills. The rate is half a tael of silver per mu. You can relax it a little."

After that, the two yamen runners went to measure again. After they finished, they told Master Qin that the two gentle slopes above and below had a total area of 250 mu. Master Qin waved his hand and said, "Record 200 mu and make the boundaries."

Master Qin looked at Lu Jintang and the girl beside him, and said with a smile, "Each of you should go and register your information with me, and pay the money. The total amount for the wasteland and the barren mountain is 250 taels of silver, plus 1 tael of handling fee, for a total of 251 taels."

Yang Mingxi thanked Master Qin and pointed towards the wheat field. "Master Qin, please don't bother two people with one thing. We want to convert the wheat field over there into a residential plot. Please help us with the process."

Master Qin laughed and said, "You are a clever girl, let's do it together!"

Seeing Master Qin and the others go to measure the homestead, Yang Mingxi called over to Yang Mingze and said, "Go back and tell your sister-in-law to cook quickly, then tell your third brother to go fish, and keep Master Qin and the others for dinner later."

Yang Mingze trotted and called his third brother, and the two of them returned to the old Yang's house together.
