Rebirth, end of the world, time travel, escape famine, make money!

Father Liu roughly made up a year of birth for them based on the ages of the others, but the month and day remained the original time.

After everyone registered and provided their ID, the head of the household said, "Everyone's identity information has been registered. This is the household head information you registered. Two households can apply for two residential plots. By the way, who will own this depression and hilltop?"

"They are all registered under my name." Father Liu took the initiative to answer.

"Row."

After the head of the household registration office has finished writing all the formalities, he checked them and found that the words written at the beginning had dried, so the words written at the end could be put aside.

"Come on, come with me to the study to see the county magistrate. After the county magistrate has inspected everything, you can press your fingerprints one by one and then stamp them with the official seal."

“Thank you for hosting.”

After becoming more familiar with the situation, Liu's father and his friends were no longer as reserved as before. Perhaps life is just like this, plain and simple, without as many twists and turns and thrills as shown in TV dramas.

But at the end, the county magistrate looked at the village assigned to them and the lowlands and hills they were going to buy, and asked one more question: "Are you sure you want to buy that lowland? Can you tell me what your plan is for buying the lowland?

If you find that it is of no use when you buy it back and you can’t sell it, our county government will not be able to deal with it for you. Even if we buy it back, the price will definitely be different from what you bought it for.”

"Thank you for your reminder, we do have a plan. I also encountered a depression in the western mountainous area. Later, the depression was gradually irrigated by rainwater and turned into a pool.

We thought that if we artificially renovated them into ponds, we could raise fish and ducks.

Fish and duck meat can be sold for money, and ducks can lay eggs. It’s just an idea, and we’re not sure whether it will work.

But we still understand the principle of buying and leaving. We can bear the risk ourselves. If that doesn’t work out, raising ducks should be an option.”

The county magistrate nodded and said, "Your idea is very good. Someone wanted to buy that piece of land and turn it into paddy fields before, but after going to see it, he found that it was too difficult.

No one thought of turning it into a fish pond to raise fish and ducks. OK, I'll approve it for you.

You go and pay part of the money first, and I will send someone to take you to the village to report in the afternoon.

The area of ​​the homestead and the hilltop will be demarcated for you before the total price is calculated. The price of the hilltop is 1 tael and 5 cents of silver per mu.

The previous price of the depression was eight cents per mu. Although the way you mentioned is very good, I will not raise the price for you.

That lowland had been measured long ago, and it was 312 mu. The total was 249 taels and 6 cents. You..."

"Mr. County Magistrate, we can pay the silver for the lowland area now. Can we give the silver for the hilltop area a few days longer? I have discussed this with the head of the household department before."

After the county magistrate had calculated the money with the head of the household department, he called the head of the workshop and told him that Liu's father and his men wanted to buy the depressions and hilltops, and that the workshop also needed to register.

"Well, I already know. I'll have someone go and measure the area with you this afternoon. You can pay the money within ten days, and I'll send someone to erect the boundary markers then.

In addition, the situation this year is more complicated. The head tax has increased this year, but the land tax has been reduced. Especially for those who have fled famine and settled here, the land they reclaimed is exempt from tax for the first three years. In the next three years, they will pay 30% tax according to the standard for wasteland.

The first three years of buying a piece of land only require a 10% tax. Here is the standard for you to see: one mu of top-quality land produces one and a half dan of grain, one dan of medium-quality land, and five dou of wasteland and middle-quality land. No matter what you plant, it can be converted into silver according to the market price.

The depressions and wastelands are all purchased by you, and you must pay according to this standard. When you arrive at the village, each of you will be given ten days to reclaim the wasteland. I will send people to measure the reclaimed wasteland ten days later. You will not have to pay taxes in the first three years.

There are people coming over from your family, and we can find a time next year to open up the wasteland together. The village chief will be in charge of this."

"Thank you, sir! Please calculate for us the total amount of our head tax and the cost of the depression. I will check and see if it is enough. If it is, I will pay it immediately.

If it's not enough, we can go out and sell some of our belongings at noon, and come back in the afternoon to pay if we're short of money, okay?"

"Sure, Director Wei, please calculate it for them. Director Li, please record the depression for them first."

"Yes, my lord."

The two of them were busy with their own things.

Wei, the head of the household department, quickly calculated and said to Liu's father, "The total is 309 taels and 6 coins. You have spent so much money, is it enough?

I would also like to remind you that when you arrive in the village, the homestead is the property of the village, and it costs money to buy a homestead. The lowlands and hilltops you bought are not suitable for building houses!"

"Director Wei, wait a moment, let's discuss this."

Father Liu looked at Liu Caixia and called her aside: "Caixia, Xiaolu, come with me. Liu Hao, you three should come with me too."

Several people took out their bags, but in fact it was Liu Xiaolu who took out silver from the space and handed it to Liu's father.

Father Liu thought about it and decided to pay the money first so that he wouldn't have to go to the county government office again. "Director Wei, we can collect the money if we can. As for the money to buy the homestead in the village, we will go out and collect it in the afternoon.

After we arrange things, as long as we work hard, we can plant crops in the spring of next year, and the family members can go out to find work. Here is three hundred and ten taels, you count it."

"Row……"

When the county magistrate saw that they had completed the handover, he took out the official seal from a box on the side and stamped all the documents with the big red official seal.

Liu's father and several others also left their thumb prints.

After the county magistrate was done with his work, he no longer cared about them. Director Wei handed over their IDs and said, "Here are your IDs, keep them safe. Wait at the west gate at 3 p.m., and someone will take you to the village. You can just go to the city gate and find the guards."

"Thank you, Host Wei."

As they left, they bowed to the county magistrate again: "Thank you, sir."

By the time the group walked out of the county government office, it was almost noon.

Although I was not troubled by the people inside, the procedures were indeed very complicated. In addition, the speed at which ancient people did things, especially the speed of writing calligraphy, was hard to describe.

When they arrived at the county magistrate's place, there was another round of lengthy questioning and review. After the county magistrate finished revising the document, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. They were not physically tired, but they were tormented mentally.

He procrastinates and dithers, and I'm tired of just standing there.

But it’s normal when you think about it. They have been here for so long and have gradually adapted to the situation.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly.
