wing me will lead to a life of luxury and riches.""Anyway, I can definitely make sure you all have enough to eat and wear. You won't have to worry about starving anymore.""I won't force you to do anyt...The constable followed Zongyu up and down the mountain peaks in Yelan for three days, returning a noticeably thinner man.

Zong Yu had lived in the mountains for years and was already very familiar with the environment. He had lived in the mountains for ten days and half a month and would not have become so haggard.

The clerk came back and let out a sigh of relief, feeling like he had escaped a narrow shave.

Over these three days, I measured the area of the mountain. While in the mountains, I encountered several wild animals. Zong Yu immediately abandoned me whenever we saw them, and I could only cower in fear and wait for him to come back.

In a while, he'd be back carrying the slain beast. The constable swallowed nervously, his companion more fearsome than any wild animal.

He just wanted to finish his work and leave as soon as possible.

The moment they returned to their ancestral home, the yamen officers eagerly began drafting a contract for the sale of the abandoned mountain, filling in the specific acreage.

Then I calculated the price.

"Miss Zong, this mountain top has a total of six thousand seven hundred acres. You just sign and seal this deed on the price set by the County Magistrate before."

Fang Jinshu nodded, the thin sheet of paper before her was the first asset she had acquired since arriving in this world.

My heart is still a little excited. It took quite a bit of thought and time to buy this mountaintop, but thankfully I managed to get it.

After signing, she took out three thousand, three hundred and fifty taels of silver to give to the guard. She also slipped him a pouch filled with ten taels of silver as a thank-you gift.

The constable merely froze for a moment before acting as if nothing had happened and shoving the pouch into his sleeve.

After getting my wallet back, I felt much better and even had a smile on my face.

"Rest assured, Madam Zong, we will do our utmost to help you!"

Although a large sum of money was spent at once, not a single person in the house felt any pain. The Mu family were even more excited than Fang Jinshu.

After the officers left, Village Head Wang also arrived. He had been keeping a close eye on this major event all along.

"Jinxiu, is the matter on the mountain settled"

Fang Jinshu nodded. "Deal."

One copy of the deed is for her, and another copy is taken by the yamen runner to the government office to be filed and recorded.

"Very good, very good! That's excellent!" Village Chief Wang nodded excitedly. "Our village is facing difficulties right now."

"Last time you said you'd give everyone grain to plant after the matter of Mount Wilderness was settled, when will that be"

He didn't mention Fang Jinshui, and he almost forgot about it.

Xiaoyue silently jotted down notes, noticing that Jinxiu's schedule was getting increasingly packed. From now on, she had to keep track of every promise Jinxiu made to others so that she could remind her mistress promptly.

"Anytime is fine, I've already got the seeds ready."

"Let's do it tomorrow, Uncle Wang. You organize the villagers to line up at your doorstep tomorrow to receive the seeds."

Wang, the village head, was once again filled with excitement.

Fang Jinxiu gave Xiaoyue a knowing glance. Xiaoyue, accompanied by two maidservants, went to the kitchen and brought back ten sacks of seeds, each weighing about thirty jin.

"Uncle Wang, these five bags are seeds for staple crops, including rice and wheat. The other five bags contain seeds for miscellaneous grains."

"How much to distribute, and how much per household, is up to you to decide."

“This is natural, pretty miss, you really saved the lives of all the villagers!” Wang Village Chief looked at the grain seeds on the ground and was especially excited.

Before, he never dared to imagine that someone would be able to donate hundreds of kilograms of grain seeds to the village at once.

Although Village Head Wang didn't say it out loud, he kept this great kindness in his heart.

"Uncle Wang, there's one more thing. Our family is preparing to build a new house. We plan to do land clearing and construction at the same time. We hope to at least complete one of these two things before winter."

"I definitely don't have enough people. If anyone in the village is willing to come, not only can they get a midday meal, but they can also earn wages, ten wen a day."

Hearing this, Village Head Wang was delighted. This was a good thing! In this way, the villagers would definitely be able to save enough food for the winter before it set in.

But when he thought about Fang Jinshu's situation, he felt sorry for her.

"Jinxiu, ten copper coins a day plus lunch seems like too much, doesn't it You just bought the mountaintop and now you're in a hurry to clear land and build houses. Can you afford it"

Seeing that Village Head Wang was still considering her, Fang Jinshu felt that she hadn't misjudged him.

"Uncle Wang, please rest assured. There's always a way when you get to the mountain. I'll figure out the money."

In fact, after buying the mountaintop, she had very little silver left in her hands, and her space was filled with supplies.

The four thousand taels of silver given by the fat old man was now down to over three hundred taels. Of course, this money was not enough.

As soon as Wang, the village head, left, Fang Jinshu's expression immediately lost its ease.n on the mountain, it would be our fault as her older brothers for not protecting her well."Zong Bai lowered his head and remained silent for a while.He couldn't help but feel remorse in his heart.Kno...
