The Empress traveled through time and space, and she fought for supremacy in the troubled times

After the two teams joined together, they hurried back to the village before the sun completely set.

Chen Yuanshu took a deep breath and turned to look at the people behind him, "We're here. This will be where you live from now on."

Liu Anruo looked around the place, with houses of different heights and cultivated land next to them.

The land is flat and the houses are neat.

The old and the young are all contented and happy.

The people passing by all had smiles on their faces and were plump. They talked to each other as they walked on the road, as if they had not been disturbed at all by the outside world.

They live here alone, self-sufficiently and peacefully.

The sound of water hitting rocks is in my ears, giving me the feeling of having strayed into a paradise.

Liu Anruo could clearly feel the increasingly bright eyes of the people around him, and even the fatigue and numbness on their faces from days of running around were swept away.

In times of chaos and strife, all we want is a place where we can live in peace and tranquility.

And this is the place that can satisfy what people think, want and desire.

At this time, a man's voice came from a distance.

"Yuan Shu, Sun Ja, you're back. You're the only ones missing. Come here."

Chen Yuanshu looked ahead and saw Lin Zhiyuan sitting on a stool, waving at them.

In front of him was a long table with pens, ink, paper and inkstone on it.

"It's Uncle Zhiyuan, he's calling us over."

Li Shun obviously saw it too. He nodded and said, "Then let's go over there."

Lin Zhiyuan looked at the group of people coming over. "Are you back safely? The ones behind are the ones you recruited, right?"

"Yes, Uncle Zhiyuan, what are you doing?"

As he approached, Chen Yuanshu noticed that there was a group of about fifty people standing nearby.

Judging from their clothes and expressions, they should be refugees brought back from the mountains.

"My lord has ordered me to register the people you brought back."

As he spoke, he pointed with his pen at the people standing over there, "Everyone over there has been registered. They are waiting for the people you bring back to be registered and then taken to their residence over there."

"Sorry to have kept Uncle Zhiyuan waiting for so long."

"It's okay. It's too late now. Just go back and leave this to me."

"Well, okay, we'll be leaving first."

After Chen Yuanshu left, Lin Zhiyuan looked at the dozen or so people in front of him and decided to quickly register them while it was still light outside and he could still see.

"Line up and come one by one."

The nine people Chen Yuanshu brought back were already the most. Most people were afraid of bringing back people with bad character, so they would carefully consider before bringing anyone up the mountain.

Most of them only brought three or five people.

After more than a quarter of an hour, everyone was finally registered, and now only the Liu family was left.

Lin Zhiyuan looked at the middle-aged man in front of him who had a scholarly air, and asked about his name, hometown, and occupation skillfully.

When he wrote about his occupation, he paused and looked up, "Are you Master?"

"Yes sir."

Before coming here, Yun Zhi asked him to keep an eye out for people with skills.

However, most people with skills can still survive and have not fled, so the people he registered before were all honest farmers.

After registering the news about their family, Lin Zhiyuan rolled up the written papers and stood up.

"It's getting late now. I'll tell you some things on the way. Come with me."

After saying that, Lin Zhiyuan led them to their temporary residence.

On the road.

"We are called Yunjiazhai, and the name comes from our master's surname. We are not xenophobic. After you come here, as long as you behave yourself, don't cause trouble, and are loyal to our master, we will not drive you away."

"You're new here and there are many things you don't understand. You can ask the people here. We're happy to explain things to you and you'll gradually get familiar with this place."

"correct……"

Lin Zhiyuan pointed to the house in the distance and said, "That's where our lord lives. If you have nothing to do, don't go there."

The person behind him looked in the direction his finger was pointing and nodded.

"Sir, we all understand and will not go there."

"Yes, we will obey and do whatever the lord tells us to do."

"We have strength and can do any hard or dirty work."

After finally arriving at this safe place, the refugees all spoke up in agreement.

Lin Zhiyuan nodded secretly. At the moment, this group of people seemed pretty good.

"Our lord has always been kind and considerate, and he also took into consideration your current poverty and your future livelihood."

"When you went up the mountain, you should have seen a lot of wild vegetables growing. You can pick them yourself. The animals are hibernating now, so they're hard to find. Wait until spring, when there will be plenty. You can catch them and eat them, or keep them in captivity. It's all up to you. Whatever you catch is yours."

"As for grain, you can borrow it from us and return it when the harvest arrives. The interest will be 10%. We don't charge taxes now. You just have to cultivate the land yourself. Whatever you grow is yours."

Ten percent, this interest rate is really not that much. Even if you go to a money shop to borrow money, the interest rate is 30%.

What’s more, there is no need to pay taxes on the harvested grain, which is really great news.

The people following behind were all overwhelmed by these news. Life here is too good.

"By the way, the Lord will occasionally arrange some work for you later. He will post a notice on the open space where you just stood. It will clearly state what you will be doing and how much you will be paid. If you think you can do it, please bring your ID card and sign up."

"As for your ID card, you'll have to wait a few days. Someone will come to notify you to pick it up."

Along the way, I talked to them about the general rules here and the arrangements for them, and soon they arrived at the temporary residence.

The temporary residence took nearly four months to build, and it could accommodate not only dozens of people, but also hundreds of people.

"Okay, we're here."

Lin Zhiyuan stood outside the houses and said, "My Lord, considering the cold winter and the risk of catching a cold sleeping outdoors, I have granted you temporary residence here for three months. You can move out after the houses are built."

"Okay, go in and rest."

After saying that, Lin Zhiyuan prepared to take the papers filled with their information and give them to Yun Zhi.

He walked a step or two and then came back. "Oh, there's one more thing. Winter is cold and you can't live without clothes. It's not good to get sick from the cold. So the lord has given each of you two pieces of ready-made linen cloth. I'll give them to you when you come to get your identity cards."

In that era, some people didn’t even have clothes, and only those who went out to work could wear those clothes.

After confirming that Lin Zhiyuan was really gone, the group of people could no longer hold back, some were crying, some were laughing, and some were dancing.

Some people even knelt down towards Yun Zhi's residence, expressing their gratitude and praying that their lord, whom they had never met, would live a long life.

The man just now said that the benefits were even too good, so good that they would not even dare to dream of such benefits.

"Ruoruo, if what the man just said is true, then this is really a good place."

The private school that Liu Qinghe opened before could only make a living. After all, rich people would find better people to teach their sons. As for poor people, how could they send their children to school when they could barely make a living?

So the income is limited.

She replied softly, "Yes, there really is a good place."

Liu Anruo looked at the place where the lord lived, and heard small cheers in his ears.

That person is really powerful. She didn't use any soldiers or show up at all, and everyone here is willing to work for her.

He is truly a lord who is good at winning people's hearts.

Just from what he saw and heard today, Liu Anruo could be sure that this lord was a man who knew how to use people, was scheming, and had foresight.

Just like these houses, I'm afraid they were built in anticipation of this day.

She looked over there with an unfathomable expression, opened her mouth and said silently: "Looking forward to meeting you."
