"Northern Kingdom?" Xiao Ruiyan said: "But Miss Nangong said she found it from the mountain? Is that businessman lying?"

Shen Kaiyu said: "I guess the businessman said this deliberately to let A Xu buy vegetables. Otherwise, how could Miss Nangong find garlic?"

Dugu Huanxu said: "Have you ever paid attention to whether there is garlic in the fiefdom before?"

They both shook their heads at the same time.

Dugu Huanxu said: "Forget it, no matter where the garlic comes from, it's not good for us to talk behind the back of the doctor who treated me. Let's stop here."

Xiao Ruiyan said in surprise: "Don't you go investigate?"

Dugu Huanxu said: "No, that girl will never hurt me anyway, otherwise she wouldn't save me."

"makes sense."

On the other side, Nangong Anshan waited for the guests to leave, asked other family members to feed the sheep, and then started making her soy sauce again.

Unlike other oils, soy sauce requires a lot of steps. It can take as little as one month and as many as three months to brew.

two days later

The verdict regarding Li Fangfang has also been handed down.

Although Li Fangfang insisted that she had no intention of killing anyone, the county magistrate believed that she set the fire with the intention of killing people.

Moreover, what Prince Li hates the most is when someone commits a crime by pretending to be a ghost, so she was still sentenced to a felony.

However, there were no serious consequences, so she was not killed.

The county magistrate sentenced Li Fangfang to a heavy fine of 100 yuan. After one month in prison, he was sent to a mine to do hard labor for five years. During this period, no one was allowed to visit.

After the Li family found out, they also went to Nangong Anshan to make trouble, but Zhou Lizheng threatened to drive the whole family out of the village if they made trouble again, so they did not dare to make trouble again.

On this day, when Nangong Anshan went up the mountain to collect herbs, she suddenly found someone building a house on the mountain.

She went up to ask, and when she heard that people from the city were coming to recuperate, she didn't ask any more questions.

In the following days, Nangong Anshan went to collect herbs one day and sell them the next day as before. When she had one hundred and fifty taels of silver in her hand, she went to find Long Lianqi. .

Of course, during this period, all her rice seedlings had been transplanted to the fields by Cao Zhenya and others.

The seeds obtained from the officials were enough to plant all seven acres of land.

Mr. Qiu would sometimes follow her, wanting to pick herbs behind her.

Of course, the goal was never achieved.

Either he was dumped by her, or she scared him away with poisonous snakes.

Her soy sauce also brewed smoothly and will be ready to eat soon.

After listening to what Nangong Anshan said, Long Lianqi said: "Miss Nangong, you said you want to buy land?"

"Yes." Nangong Anshan said, "I have a lot of things I want to grow, and I want to buy more land to grow them."

Now that most people's rice seedlings have been planted, she is no longer as busy as before. She can also take the opportunity to find more people to help her farm.

Long Lianqi asked: "How much do you want to buy?"

"How much does one acre of land here cost?"

"Generally speaking, good quality farmland costs eight taels of silver per acre, but you also know the situation in Liuye Village. There is no cultivated farmland around at all. You can only buy wasteland and reclaim it yourself. This kind of wasteland is cheaper. When everything was peaceful before, six taels of silver per acre was needed, but now that King Li is encouraging people from outside to open up wasteland, only four taels of silver per acre are needed."

Nangong Anshan thought for a while and said, "Then I will buy twenty acres of land."

Four taels of silver is not expensive at all.

She also needs to leave some money to pay wages to those who build houses, money for furniture, and wages to people who open up wasteland.

Long Lianqi also knew that she had recently made some money selling herbal medicine, and said: "Twenty acres of land costs a total of eighty taels."

"Well, I'm ready."

"Okay." Long Lianqi said: "Then I will measure the land with you now. After the survey is completed, I will go to the county with you to apply for the land deed."

It turns out that their stay in Willow Leaf Village still serves this purpose.

Nangong Anshan nodded: "Okay, let's go together."

"Um."

"But, Brother Long, I have a question for you."

"Just ask."

"Prince Li stipulates that half of each family's field must be used for growing food. The main crops grown here are rice and wheat. Now that it's past the time to plant rice and wheat, can we grow other food?"

"Yes, if the time for planting rice and wheat is over, you can grow other things, such as vegetables, or ramie, which is used for making clothes. But starting from next year, you have to farm according to the rules."

"I see."

The two went to the county seat together.

King Li now encouraged the people to buy fields to open up wasteland, and Long Lianqi took him with him, and the land deeds were successfully completed.

She had told her family before she came, and they all said her name should be written, and she had no objection. In the future, if her brothers and sisters need it, she can just transfer the ownership.

Before going home, she went to the county government office to tell Dugu Huanxu and asked him to find time to go to Liuye Village as the workshop was about to be completed.

After that, she and Long Lianqi went to Qingshui Village. Seeing that her furniture would be ready in two days, she asked him to deliver all the furniture to her Liuye Village in three days.

Her house is almost finished, and the main work now is digging a well and laying stone slabs in the yard, which can be completed in two days.

After returning, she immediately went to find Cao Zhenya.

After hearing what Nangong Anshan said, Cao Zhenya was surprised and said: "Ashan, have you bought land again?"

These days were the slack time for farming, and she was worried about having no income. She didn't expect Ashan to buy so much land.

"Yes." Nangong Anshan said, "So I have to ask Auntie Lao to help me find someone to farm."

Cao Zhenya said excitedly: "Don't worry, I will let people plant it well. It's just that it's past the time to plant rice and wheat. What are you going to plant?"

Nangong Anshan said: "I have already found seeds for growing food. Auntie will know when all the land is cleared."

Cao Zhenya said: "Okay, then I will notify my sisters now and then find some more people. Then I will bring them to you and you will decide whether to use them."

"Well, this time because we have to open up wasteland, the work is very tiring. Men can do it too. If there are willing men, you can also let them do it."

"Okay, I will do as you say."

Nangong Anshan said some more words, took Cao Zhenya to look at the newly purchased land, asked her to remember the specific location, and then returned home.

After having lunch, Cao Zhenya brought over the people she was looking for. There were thirty people in total, including the people she was looking for for the first time to farm the seven acres of land, a total of forty people.

The people she met were all people who had no holiday with her family. After carving everyone's names on the bamboo slips, she nodded with satisfaction, "It's just you. It's better to choose a day than to hit it. Go and open up wasteland now. I'll start from now."

I will calculate your wages this afternoon."
