Everyone was talking about it, and their words were full of gratitude and praise for Yan Wanwan.

"The county lady is truly kindhearted. This house is so beautifully built. How much money must have been spent on it?"

"Yes, the county lady has been so kind to us. We must repay her well in the future!"

"This is simply where the gods live. We have encountered fairies!"

The older man wiped his tears and muttered, "The county lady is so kind to us! Building these houses couldn't be done with just a few taels of silver. It would have cost at least dozens of taels! But the county lady didn't say anything and just built so many small courtyards so smoothly."

At this moment, in their eyes, Yan Wanwan was like a fairy.

How could an ordinary person build such a house in ten days? If she wasn't a fairy, then what else could she be? Everyone was grateful to her.

However, they didn't know that this house was actually transferred directly from the end of the world by Yan Wanwan.

If she did anything, it was to use her supernatural powers to gather the zombies and order them to dig foundations, build roads, canals, and septic tanks.

These unpaid laborers can work 24 hours a day without interruption. When they are tired, they can feed chickens and ducks. They are very easy to feed and are perfect for infrastructure construction.

After getting to know the house in depth, the people were shocked to find that they had no idea how to use it.

There is no well in the yard. Do I have to go to the river to fetch water every day?

And there are toilets? How can they go to the bathroom without toilets?

Before they could ask, someone came to explain to them how to use the bathroom.

"Do you see this? This is called a shower head. Turn it on and water will come out. The left side is hot water and the right side is cold water."

Everyone thought it was magical. Someone went forward to try it, and sure enough, the nozzle sprayed out a fine stream of water, and it was hot!

"What's going on? Why is there hot water?"

The yamen runner pointed upwards and said, "There's something on the roof that stores water. When the sun heats it up, hot water will flow out from here. If it's cloudy or raining, there's no hot water to use."

The people were immediately shocked, as these were things they had never seen before.

"Oh my goodness! Where did this thing come from? Is it included in the house? Do we have to pay extra money?"

They would never think that such things that provide convenience in life would be given to them for free.

"Of course it was given to you by our county lord."

The yamen runner jokingly explained, "Everything in this house is a gift from the county lady, so feel free to use it. However, you have to pay for water. There's a pipe outside the house that you must not touch. There's a water meter here, and you'll be charged according to the index. Each meter you use is ten coins, and you'll be charged once a month. If you don't want to use it, you can also fetch water from the nearby river yourself, which is quite convenient."

"Oh, and there's a toilet."

"Yes, we didn't find the toilet."

The bailiff smiled faintly and led them to a separate room near the door. "It's here."

When everyone went in, they saw that there was nothing inside, just a white pit.

Seeing that no one understood, the yamen runner demonstrated how to use it again, and finally it was clean after just flushing with water.

But the people were immediately anxious. "Where did the manure go? We still need it for fertilizer!"

The yamen runner smiled and said, "The county lady has considered all of you. Now the entire Nanping County is her fiefdom. She is willing to contract it out to you. The first year will be exempt, but you will need to pay half of the grain tax each year thereafter."

"Half? Our land can already produce very little food. If we give up half, won't we even have enough to eat?"

"Don't worry, the county lord said that during this period, all farmers who rent land will be provided with free fertilizer. It is a fertilizer that the county lord personally developed."

"But if we increase production..."

"The county lord also said that if everyone is willing to share in planting a few plants, they can be used to offset grain taxes when they grow, and any excess can be fully deducted from the land rental tax."

Everyone looked at each other and thought this was a good idea. They all asked, "How much do we need to plant?"

They also need to consider whether it is cost-effective. Otherwise, if they plant those plants everywhere, they will not get any food and their hard work will be in vain.

"Don't worry, the county lord only needs to lease a quarter of the land, and you can grow food on the rest."

Smiles immediately appeared on the faces of the people. "That's fine. We are willing to plant it."

"Then go to the village chief to count."

Everyone looked at each other, and those who were interested quickly went to find the village chief, as it would soon be time to plant winter wheat.

"Brother, what if we don't have any land to farm? Can you give us some fertilizer so we can grow some food in our own yard?"

"Of course, they're sold in the mall in the business district."

The new term "shopping mall" immediately aroused everyone's interest.

Later they learned that there was a trading street two streets away from where they lived, where they could buy daily necessities and calligraphy and painting, just like the East Market and West Market in Jingzhao, which was very convenient.

"Alright! If you have any further questions, you can consult the village chief. Now go check the quantity of the custom-made furniture. If there are no problems, go get the village chief's signature."

He was about to leave when he was stopped again, "Brother, can we still order furniture?"

They didn't expect that the furniture Yan Wanwan gave them was so good, even better than the ones they made themselves. They regretted it when they went to other houses to see it. Just that set of tables and chairs, let alone working for them for half a year, even if they worked for them for a year, they would not lose money, and they could sell it for more than ten taels.

"That's not possible. The county lady has only prepared the ones that were counted at the beginning. But if you want, you can go up there and buy them. They have everything there."

The people who were asking questions immediately stopped asking. They all knew that they would have to pay money if they went to buy it, and the price would not be cheaper than the one given by the county lord. They might as well just do it themselves!

The bailiff glanced at them coldly. Don't think that he didn't see through these people's little tricks. They were just addicted to taking advantage.

Those who had ordered furniture were all very happy. No matter what the county lady did in the future, they would definitely follow her steps unswervingly and would never fall behind.

From these things, they could see that the county lord would never treat them unfairly.

"Brother officer, how do you know so much?"

The yamen runner said proudly, "The county lady has already built us a similar house, right next to the yamen."

Everyone was immediately envious. They knew that officials had good benefits, but they didn’t expect them to be so good.

"Brother, I wonder if the government office is still hiring? What do you think of me?"

Soon, the yamen runners were surrounded by enthusiastic people, who asked about the affairs of the yamen. Some people even started asking about gossip such as the county lord's lack of servants.
