She transmigrated into a widow and farmed to raise vests.

As soon as Qin Yu said they were leaving, Li Yang followed without stopping.

For the sake of his own performance and future, he now does whatever this young master Qin says.

They dared not delay any longer, fearing that this lucky star would leave.

Li Yang respectfully invited Qin Yu into the inner hall.

Considering his current situation, Li Yang was somewhat reluctant to hand it over to his superiors.

"Now I can say that this technology is in my hands. If I were to give it to the prefect like this, I would definitely not be satisfied!"

"A cough is a merit that benefits the country and its people. I, a mere county magistrate, cannot compete with the prefect. I am not reconciled!"

Li Yang asked a series of questions, his face showing worry and genuine distress.

"Now that you have the technology and the people, what are you afraid of?"

Qin Yu understood his thoughts, of course.

However, reporting to higher-level authorities is not something that can be done casually.

With the mountains high and the emperor far away, managing such county-level cases is beyond the emperor's reach.

I'm afraid that if someone framed me, I won't know when the case will be overturned.

So don't do this!

"Only by giving the prefect benefits will he treat you as one of his own!"

Therefore, we have to accept the credit, whether we like it or not.

However, it's about how to give it up.

"Finish all the drawings and hand them in!"

Labor and other costs both require money, which will amount to about three taels of silver.

Labor costs are cheap, but timber is not.

This needs to benefit every village, and such things definitely need to be reported.

Only with the approval and allocation of funds from the Ministry of Revenue can the project proceed.

"Please ask the Prefect to come and see for himself; he will report it as soon as possible!"

There's not much profit involved, but bringing more people along can help them make money.

How could someone who's truly leading the charge not have vested interests in it?

As for how much to embezzle, that depends entirely on the prefect's conscience.

Now that the waterwheel project is done, the next step is to move on to other things.

Three days after the start of summer, the rice seeds need to be soaked; this cannot be delayed.

"Leave the two carpenters behind and find every household in the village that owns a cow, as many as possible!"

After Qin Yu finished discussing the matter, he asked Lord Li to find someone.

Making plows and harrows requires households with oxen, and farmers have a lot of land, so it's impossible to finish plowing all the land in one day.

"Okay, I understand. I'll get on with it right away!"

After much deliberation, Li Yang concluded that he ultimately wanted to serve the people, so he figured he might as well accept the credit if he could take it.

As long as he gets along well with Young Master Qin, he will have more credit to offer later.

"Young Master Qin, please wait!"

Qin Yu hadn't taken two steps when Xu Hailan stopped him.

"It's like this, I wrote to my sister about meeting Young Master Qin, and my sister heard that there is beauty water and wants to buy some. What do you think, Young Master Qin?"

Xu Hailan knew this thing was valuable.

I didn't originally plan to tell anyone, but I was in such a good mood that I couldn't help but tell my sister while we were communicating.

When her sister found out, she insisted that she buy two bottles for her no matter what!

Having no other option, she had to ask him.

Xu Hailan looked at him, fearing that he would disagree.

I've never met this young master Qin, so I don't know if he'll be easy to get along with.

"Don't worry, price is not a problem!"

Although Li Yang was happy, he was afraid that Young Master Qin would disagree, so he quickly spoke up to stop his wife.

"Oh dear, you woman, you have to tell others about these things. How will Young Master Qin have time to get the medicine!"

Qin Yu heard that money wasn't an issue, so what else was impossible?

"Five hundred taels a bottle. Anyone who wants one can contact me!"

Those who could afford five hundred taels were naturally high-ranking officials and nobles.

Moreover, since her spiritual spring is so valuable, it's natural to sell it at a high price; once she's identified her target customers, that's all that matters!

"Great, it's worth it!" Xu Hailan felt that five hundred taels was well worth it.

Back then, I spent so many precious medicinal herbs, it must have cost me no less than a hundred taels of silver.

I've tried Tian Shan snow lotus, Ganoderma lucidum, and deer antler, but none of them were as effective as this water, so it's definitely worth it.

After using one bottle, her face became noticeably whiter, and after using two bottles, she was completely restored.

If a thousand taels of silver can keep me in my current state, then it's definitely worth it!

"The Chasing Wind will deliver it in three days. Just be ready!" Qin Yu waved and walked past the Chasing Wind behind him.

Xu Hailan nodded and quickly agreed.

After settling things with the county magistrate, the village's belongings were moved away.

They hired a few workers to start repairing the house.

They arrived at Stone Village with a dozen or so people and marked out the places that needed to be changed.

The original foundation is fine; it just needs to be expanded.

The two households in the village live in different distances, some far apart and some close together.

The old houses here happen to be far apart, which makes it convenient for her to expand the area further.

Use the old house as the front yard, and build a new house ten zhang away.

A wall as tall as a person was built around it.

This way, people practicing here won't be discovered.

That's a simple explanation.

The foreman quickly understood what he meant.

Zhui Feng was responsible for driving the horse-drawn carriage to buy blue bricks and sand.

And so, the construction of the courtyard wall and house began in a flurry of activity.

The workers started making cement the next day.

Qin Yu then learned that in ancient times, since there was no cement, cement was made by cooking glutinous rice into a paste and mixing it with mud and sand.

Following Qin Yu's instructions, Zhui Feng handed the contract to Xu Shaoting and asked him to find someone in the city who could write to copy it.

Chasing Wind rides a horse and is only responsible for delivering documents; he's efficient in both directions.

After returning, he sat quietly in the yard to supervise the work, and when he had nothing to do, he would help the workers with their work!

In the afternoon, Qin Yu lay down for a short rest, and Wu Cuicui knew that her opportunity had come.

He immediately went to greet the village chief and led the village chief and his group of people into Qin Yu's house.

Qin Yu heard the noise, but kept his face covered with a banana leaf and didn't get up.

Zhui Feng also heard the commotion and immediately stepped forward to stop the village chief and others.

"Where is Qin Yu? Where is she?"

The village chief was forced to comply by the crowd; though he had no choice, he had to do so in order to earn money.

When Wu Cuicui found him, he also felt that it seemed very unfair to ask Qin Yu to hand over such a thing.

But just like they said, she made money and moved away, but none of them had a way to make a living.

So after weighing the pros and cons, they had no choice but to come with them to find Qin Yu.

The village chief saw a boy blocking his way, but didn't say a word.

She didn't take him seriously and reached out to push him away.

Zhui Feng was pushed back a step.

He still spread his arms and stood in front of the crowd.

"Who are you? We're looking for Qin Yu, we want her to come out!"

Wu Cuicui almost lost her composure when she saw the boy's handsome face.

The boy was handsome, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, exuding masculinity and giving off a strong sense of security.

But the thought of not being able to do it today means I'll be sold off.

So she had no time to appreciate men and immediately called out to Qin Yu inside.

"We need to see her, don't block our way, it's really urgent!"

Wu Cuicui tried to push him, but Zhuifeng dodged to the side.

Wu Cuicui fell forward and knelt down next to Qin Yu's chair.

"you......"

"looking for me?"
