Quick Transmigration Hoarding: My Selfishness Leads to a Killing Frenzy

Although they were exiled prisoners, it wasn't a capital offense like rebellion, so they were kept relatively loosely guarded. However, government officials would occasionally send people to check on their numbers.

The most urgent task is to build houses, settle down, and then clear the land. These are things that the old masters and ladies of the past certainly wouldn't do.

They all needed to hire people from the city. Those with money built brick and tile houses, while those without money built adobe or wooden houses.

Along the way, everyone had spent almost all their money, and there wasn't much left. Only a few people had money.

Therefore, there were only five or more brick houses; most were mud houses, since people needed to make a living with their limited money.

Qingmo was, of course, a brick and tile house with a small courtyard, a bedroom, a kitchen, a living room, a toilet, and a large yard.

It cost her 100 taels of silver, and it would take more than 20 days to build the house. During this time, she stayed at an inn in the city, showing that she was a woman who didn't care about money.

Even if the Jiang family suspected the origin of Qingmo's large sum of money, they couldn't say anything. Perhaps she took it in the chaos of the mansion, or even if she didn't, it would have been confiscated by the soldiers.

The government also allocated one mu of land per person to be reclaimed. Ordinary people only had to pay 2% of the tax, while criminals had to pay 5%. Moreover, the land did not belong to individuals but remained with the imperial court.

Whether or not people have enough to eat after paying taxes is no longer the concern of the government. The first year is tax-free, since clearing land and farming takes time.

Qingmo definitely won't plant on this land, so what can we do? Well, we can only pay someone to clear the land, and then let someone else cultivate it.

She had to give away 5% of the grain after taxes to others, and she still had to pay them 2 taels of silver every year. But this was her land, and 5% of the grain was not enough to feed her, so no one wanted to farm it.

Every day, he would wander around the city aimlessly, eating and drinking, and his life was pretty good. However, what was very annoying was that as a slave, he was not allowed to buy maids or servants.

Qingmo is a useless little thing. All she does is order takeout. On the road to exile, all she can cook is a bowl of cured pork rice or salted fish rice. She can't cook any stir-fries.

Orphans aren't as amazing as you think. They don't have to know how to cook. Qingmo is lazy, really lazy.

Besides, orphanages provide meals, while adults order takeout. Working hard every day and still having to cook is truly something to be grateful for.

After finally settling down, if I want to have a good meal, I can only go to a restaurant or eat the space's prepared food.

Fortunately, if she could hold on for five years, and the emperor passed away, she could be freed from her status as a slave.

Moreover, she was very aware of the crisis. She was a woman with no one to rely on, yet she outwardly appeared to have a large amount of money.

Of course, many people would try to take advantage of her, but those scoundrels were all beaten so badly by her powerful strength that they cried for their parents.

No decent family would marry a convict slave, since their descendants would be barred from pursuing officialdom for three generations. Apart from families who were also convict slaves, the only other option was a penniless scoundrel.

After being beaten by Qingmo, they knew she was not someone to mess with, so no one dared to lay a finger on her.

Qingmo is a homebody. As long as you give her a cell phone, she'll stay home. Anyway, there's electricity in her space to charge it.

So usually she's either at home playing on her phone or reading novels, or cultivating in her personal space.

To live well in ancient times, she needs to have a certain level of martial arts skills, and she doesn't know if her scumbag father will come after her again in five years, since she is a daughter who can be exchanged for benefits.

She's just a minor character; what if the male and female leads take a dislike to her and want to kill her someday?

After all, the female lead is her elder sister, and their relationship is too close, so she has to be careful.

She also took the time to keep an eye on the Jiang family's situation. The Jiang family also lived in a brick and tile house, after all, they had the male lead's help. However, the secret guards had withdrawn after escorting the female lead here, except for occasionally coming over to pass on messages to the male and female leads.

Don't ask her how she knew; she's a cultivator, after all.

Even though it's just a small piece of trash, the female protagonist can still sense whether she's being protected by anyone.

She wouldn't idly pick fights with the female lead. She's just cannon fodder, not particularly capable, and all she needs to do is stay alive. She'll do as much as she can.

She has self-awareness. As for being so high-profile since transmigrating, it's mainly because she loves to enjoy life and can't stand any hardship.

Besides, she didn't do anything to the Jiang family; it was just a small-time insignificant person rebelling against them.

Although she isn't particularly powerful, she at least possesses great strength and spatial abilities, which should be sufficient to deal with the Jiang family for the time being. We can discuss the future later.

Qingmo seized the time to cultivate and reached the peak of Qi Refining in just three months. Of course, she spent 2 to 3 years in the space and then stopped cultivating. This level of cultivation was enough.

In a low-level martial arts world devoid of spiritual energy, a Qi Refining stage cultivator is enough to instantly kill most people—not all, but mainly because she doesn't know magic.

The technique doesn't contain any magical attack methods, but you can use your mental power, or divine sense, to attack others, which is enough.

Once I have enough points, I'll definitely use them to buy some attack methods from the system shop.

Mental power has endless uses; it can not only be used for attacks but also for short-term hypnosis, generally within an hour, and even shorter for those with strong willpower.

Once awake, the hypnotized person will remember what they did during the hypnosis, but will be completely confused as to why they did it.

Of course, it can only be used on mortals. Cultivators will find it difficult to succeed unless they are more than two major realms higher. Also, those with great fortune, like the male and female protagonists, are definitely not susceptible to hypnosis.

The next day, she secretly went to the Jiang family and hypnotized her father when he was alone in the room, telling him to go find the acting village chief immediately and sever his father-daughter relationship with Qingmo.

The place where we live now was later named Changgu Village because the villagers were all people who had been exiled last time. The government appointed the head of the Gu family, Gu Mingshan, as the acting village head to manage some village affairs.

Soon everyone gathered at the Gu family's house. No one knew why Jiang Hongye suddenly wanted to sever his father-daughter relationship with Qingmo.

Even the Jiang family members themselves didn't know that no matter how much Old Madam Jiang, Old Master Jiang, and even Madam Liu tried to persuade him, Jiang Hongye was determined to sever ties with Qingmo.

Qingmo was naturally happy to agree, since it was her idea to do it anyway.

The village chief, Gu Mingshan, issued a certificate, and the He and Yang families signed it as witnesses. The scumbag father even forced the grandparents and the first wife to sign and put their fingerprints on it, and that was the end of the matter.

Qingmo immediately took the supporting documents and asked Village Chief Gu to ride in a mule cart to the government office to register her as an independent female household.

Of course, the female household had to pay ten taels of silver every year, but for Qingmo, that amount was nothing.

Afterwards, she treated Gu Cun to a meal and bought him some thank-you gifts; she understood the importance of social etiquette.

Now, Qingmo could finally close the door and live her life in peace, and no one could control her anymore.

After Jiang Hongye regained consciousness, he was completely baffled as to why he had done such a thing, and no one could explain it to him.

Of course, he still suspected that this matter was related to Qingmo, but he couldn't prove it. So what if he suspected it? He couldn't do anything to her.

The stepmother, Xu, remained indifferent throughout. Ever since she had been beaten twice by that unfilial daughter, she had considered her daughter dead.

Anyway, she still has her son. Even though she's fallen on hard times, the Jiang family still has some money (given by the male lead), so she won't starve.
