Traveling through time and space to become a concubine's daughter, leading the whole village to

Xu Miao immediately patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Han Bo, I won't tell the Major General about this, even if you kill me. But trying to get the skin of a tiger is not a good idea after all. It's too dangerous."

Village Chief Han nodded vigorously, "I know, I know. There's no other solution."

"If it weren't for you, A Miao, wanting to live in Han Village for a long time, I wouldn't dare tell you this."

"This is a serious matter punishable by death. Even the young people from the village who went to Dingzhou City didn't dare to say a word."

The two people had a common secret, and their relationship immediately became harmonious.

As Xu Miao and Village Chief Han walked slowly towards the back of the village, Xu Miao asked Village Chief Han where in the village was most in need of money.

"Uncle Han, I have some silver in my hand, and I want to use it in Hanjia Village. Where in the village needs money right now?"

Xu Miao thought that she was the master of Hanjia Village, and as a master she had to act like a master.

You can't just talk and not do anything. If you have money, you should contribute money, and if you have strength, you should contribute strength. That's what a host should do.

Village Chief Han: Silver is needed everywhere in the village, and any problem can be solved with silver.

Without even a second's thought, Village Chief Han immediately said to Xu Miao, "Ah Miao, the most urgent thing for our village right now is to repair these old houses."

"A Miao, I knew you weren't just a talkative idiot. Giving money to the village is the real deal."

Village chief Han happily gave Xu Miao a thumbs up. When he heard that Xu Miao was going to invest in the construction of Hanjia Village, Village chief Han was so happy that his eyes narrowed into slits.

Village Chief Han pointed to the houses not far away and said, "These old houses are not well insulated in the winter. Every winter, many villagers catch colds because of the cold."

"In Hanjia Village, a simple cold can be fatal. If these old houses are repaired, the incidence of illness can be reduced, and the villagers' lives can be better."

Xu Miao nodded silently in agreement.

Seeing Xu Miao nod, Village Chief Han continued, "Besides repairing the old house, Hanjia Village is most in need of a doctor."

"If I had money, I would go to the outside of Dingzhou City and find a doctor among those who don't have a travel permit and bring him back to Hanjia Village."

"Even if he doesn't sign the contract to sell himself, he can still stay in Hanjia Village for a few years and find a clever young man to learn the basics. He can then survive in Hanjia Village for a while."

Village chief Han threw the most urgent problems that Hanjia Village needed to solve in recent years to Xu Miao.

After hearing this, Xu Miao knew that these were the urgent problems that Hanjiacun needed to solve. Didn't Hanjiacun even jump and speak out.

It is estimated that Village Chief Han has been thinking about these things for a long time.

Xu Miao said, "Uncle Han, there's no need to look for a doctor. I can be the doctor. I know a little bit of medical skills. Although I'm not an expert, I can still treat a cold."

Village Chief Han was overjoyed when he heard this: "A Miao, how come you also know medicine? I never thought of that!"

Village chief Han thought that Xu Miao might invest some money in the village, and the fact that Xu Miao knew medical skills was a bit too unexpected.

Xu Miao: "Uncle Han, my grandfather was a traveling doctor who went from village to village. My mother learned some medical skills from him. When she was in the Xu Mansion, she taught me some when she had nothing to do."

"I brought a lot of medicinal herbs with me when I came to Hanjia Village this time. I was worried that there was a lack of doctors and medicine here, and I would have nowhere to get treatment if I got sick."

"I also brought a few pills from the Imperial Hospital in the capital. They were given to me by the wife of Duke Dingguo when I left the capital."

"My wife was worried that I might get sick in the Northern Frontier, so she asked a doctor she knew to get me a few. I'm carrying them with me now."

After saying that, Xu Miao took out four pills from his pocket and showed them to Village Chief Han: "Uncle Han, don't be fooled by the fact that these pills look ordinary. They are very useful."

Xu Miao immediately explained the secrets of her homemade pills. Otherwise, she would have to make up a reason to use them later.

I'd like to take this opportunity to explain the matter of the pills to Village Chief Han.

Village Chief Han stared at the four black pills with shining eyes. He had heard that the pills in the Imperial Hospital were made of precious medicinal materials. Don’t be fooled by their unattractive appearance, their efficacy is excellent.

"Oh my, A'miao, quickly put all these treasures away. Why are you still carrying them with you? Don't lose them. They can save your life!"

Village chief Han hurriedly asked Xu Miao to put away these pills. With these life-saving pills, plus the medicinal herbs brought by Xu Miao, no one in Hanjia Village would die from colds this winter.

After finishing the story about the pills, Xu Miao continued to talk to Village Chief Han, "Uncle Han, how much money will it cost to repair these old houses? Can you give me a rough estimate?"

Xu Miao wanted Village Chief Han to give her a budget so that she could be mentally prepared.

When Village Chief Han saw Xu Miao continue to talk about repairing the house, he thought that Xu Miao really wanted to settle down in Hanjia Village, otherwise he would not have taken the initiative to mention the use of money.

He took Xu Miao to the back and started counting the money with him on his fingers.

"A Miao, Hanjia Village has spent a lot of money on this house over the years. Most of the houses in the village have been renovated. There are only a few left that cannot be repaired. We are thinking of renovating them next autumn."

"Although these houses have been largely renovated, they're still drafty after so many years. Now we can only plug the leaks with thick felt sheets until next spring for major repairs."

"Thick felt cloth is sold in Dingzhou City. It's considered a specialty of Northern Xinjiang and is specifically made for these earthen houses."

"Felt cloth is not expensive. A house can be repaired well with about ten taels of silver worth of felt cloth."

Xu Miao was delighted when she heard this. She thought it would cost a lot of silver to renovate a house. Ten taels of silver would be enough to renovate a house. There were 47 households in Hanjia Village, and the total cost was less than 500 taels of silver.

With his mind prepared, Xu Miao continued to speak to Village Chief Han with a heroic attitude: "Besides repairing the house and finding a doctor, is there anything else Hanjia Village needs money for?"

Village Chief Han was stunned by Xu Miao's question: "A Miao, are you rich?"

Where did Xu Miao get so much money from? She was a concubine's daughter and she ran away from her marriage in the capital.

Seeing that Village Chief Han was suspicious of the source of her money, Xu Miao smiled and explained to him, "Don't worry, Uncle Han, all this money came from legitimate sources."

"Before I left the capital, the wife of Duke Dingguo gave me some silver, as well as some of the private money I've saved over the years, and some of my own money. It's all pure silver, Uncle Han, don't worry."

Then Xu Miao told Village Chief Han about how she made money in the restaurant and teahouse in Duke Dingguo's Mansion. Over the past year or so, the restaurant and teahouse had given Xu Miao a lot of dividends.

After hearing this, Village Chief Han exclaimed in amazement: "Wow, you can make money just by telling a story. It's really easy to make money in the capital."

At this time, there was a shouting sound from a distance. Xu Miao and Village Chief Han stopped to look. It turned out that the four brothers of the Han family saw Dahei having fun everywhere in the distance, and they all shouted Dahei to come over.

Village Chief Han pointed toward the four Han brothers and said, "Where they are standing is the frozen river surface, and the vast expanse of snow across from us is the farmland of our Han Village."

"Now in the village, there's no division of land by family. Everyone works together, and in autumn, the grain is distributed according to the number of people in the family."

Speaking of food, Xu Miao thought of the most important issue.
