Li Er got the money, his hands were trembling. Although he knew that these lands would be sold for eight taels of silver per acre in two years, he was short of money now.

Fortunately, he has a lot of strength and four sons. When he is free, he goes to open up wasteland, and he can open up seven or eight acres of land in a month.

If you can plant it, plant it; if you can't plant it all, sell it to Liu Pan'er.

The group of people walked back and chatted.

"From the Yuan Qing family, do you still want the wasteland that my family will open in the future?" Li Er asked stupidly. He was worried that the more than thirty taels of silver would not be enough to build a house.

When Liu Pan'er heard this, she smiled and said, "Yes, but it's better to be in one piece like this, in pieces. I don't want it."

Village Chief Li saw that Liu Paner had just bought so much land, and the family was full of women and children. How could he finish the work?

"Member of the Yuan Qing family, if you buy so much land, your family won't be able to finish it all with just a few people." Village Chief Li asked, "When the time comes and we are too busy, what should we do?"

Liu Pan'er smiled and said, "Uncle village chief, don't worry that I won't be able to finish planting these fields. My family is full of women and children, so we really can't do so much work, but I can hire people from the village to do the work for me! Light work costs ten cents a day.

Money, twenty cents a day for hard work, and one meal at noon. When you are busy, just say hello and someone should do the work."

Hearing this, the few people who were following him all brightened up.

Zhou Cuihua smiled and said, "Are you looking for a woman?"

Liu Pan'er nodded and replied with a smile: "Of course, I must pick melons. Women are delicate and light-footed. They can do it faster and better than men."

"Okay, then I'll help you organize things in the village. There will definitely be people willing to work." Zhou Cuihua got Liu Pan'er's braised pork recipe, and she was grateful to Liu Pan'er. Whenever she had the opportunity, she wanted to repay Liu Pan'er.

Others also kept it in mind that if there was nothing at home and there was work at Liu Paner's place, they and their family members could do it.

Even if it is a light job, for ten cents a day, the money earned in one day can be used to sell a pound of rice, a pound of noodles, or a pound of braised pork, which is a good deal.

After returning home, Liu Pan'er had just finished eating. Not long after, the three government officials from the county government who were responsible for registering Lijia Village arrived.

Because the road was quite far, they came over on horseback.

And because this was specially instructed by the county magistrate, they did not dare to neglect it. They had something to eat early in the morning and rushed to Lijiacun.

This time Gu San also came with him to prevent the people from the county government from causing trouble for the people in Lijiacun.

After all, the young master got the priceless white jade ointment recipe from Liu Paner, so the next time, the young master told him to make it perfect.

As expected, with Gu San following them, the three county government servants took their work seriously and did not dare to be arrogant. They acted separately and were very efficient and did not dare to embarrass themselves.

Liu Pan'er was called over by Village Chief Li to see if the records of the government officials were correct. Gu San also followed, and what he thought would take two days was completed in one day.

Not only the farm property was measured, but the homestead was also measured.

According to the number of people in each family, each person is entitled to a share of homestead land. If the excess is exceeded, they have to spend money to buy it. The homestead land of Liu Pan'er's family is more than three acres.

An acre of homestead land was worth 20 taels of silver, and Liu Paner's family gave a total of 5 taels of silver. Fortunately, the family had a lot of money from the seller, otherwise they would not even have the money to buy the homestead.

Li Erluzi got the remaining twenty-three taels of silver directly after the government counted the wasteland he sold to Liu Pan'er under Liu Pan'er's name.

Thinking that there would be many ways to make money in the future, he didn't want to have too much trouble in the future, so with a wave of his hand, he directly bought a five-acre homestead. Except for the free part for the family members, the rest cost eight taels of silver.

In the village, this is considered a big deal.

This is not only the case for Li Erlunzzi's family, but other people in the village have almost emptied their family funds to buy homesteads. Those who don't have enough money borrow money from everywhere, hoping to buy more homesteads.

However, no one had any money at this time. Even Village Chief Li's family spent all their money to buy a homestead.

Liu Pan'er's family has money, but they don't dare to take out the money now, so they just say they have no money to lend to the villagers. After all, she bought a piece of wasteland on a hillside from Er Lengzi's family and spent all the money.

The others did not borrow the money, they just sighed and did not mess around. But the third widow was different. She still had a few taels of silver in her hand, but she was reluctant to take it out, so she went to borrow money from people in the village who were living a good life.

In particular, the families of Village Chief Li and Liu Pan'er are the three widows' main borrowers.

"Village Chief, we orphans and widowers don't have money to buy a homestead, so please be kind and lend me two taels of silver so that we can build a larger homestead." The third widow ran over. If Village Chief Li didn't agree, she

Just kneel down.

Village Chief Li was stunned for a moment. He looked embarrassed in front of the government officials and said, "Third Aunt, it's not that we won't lend you money. Now so many people in every household in the village need homesteads, and we don't have any money, so we bought the remaining money."

Homestead.”

Zhou Cuihua pushed aside the crowd, walked over, winked at her daughter-in-law, and supported the three widows one by one, "Third Aunt, the government has said that each person will get one share of the homestead. Your family has three people, and you still have three points of land.

Even if you don’t have money, you can still have a homestead. When your family has money, you can buy it again. When the time comes, we, the head of the family, will make a trip for you and we won’t find it troublesome.”

"Village chief, have mercy on us! Don't bother us. Just lend us two taels of silver and we can buy another acre of homestead." The third widow was still reluctant and wanted to break away from Zhou Cuihua's pull, but she had no strength.

Zhou Cuihua and Yuan Jia had older daughters-in-law, so they were pulled out.

At this time, the third widow saw Liu Pan'er again, "It belongs to Yuan Qing's family. The village chief won't lend it to me. Please lend it to me. If I see someone saying bad things about you in the future, I will definitely tell you."

When Liu Pan'er heard this, she couldn't laugh or cry. Wasn't it the third widow who spoke ill of her the most?

Liu Pan'er smiled and said, "No need. Those who say bad things about me will have bad tongues sooner or later. There are gods and God watching them. Whoever does bad things or says bad things will be heard. It's not that they won't be punished, but that they will be heard.

The time has not yet come. I don’t have any extra money at home, so don’t waste your breath. Besides, I don’t believe that you are leisurely and leisurely all day long and don’t have any money at home?”

Zhou Cuihua's eyes lit up, she understood immediately, and nodded, "Third Aunt, if you have money at home, use it to buy a homestead. If you don't register now, you will have to register later, and that will cost money. Don't blame me for not having it.

remind you."

Seeing that neither Liu Pan'er nor Zhou Cuihua wanted to borrow money, the third widow could only hang her head in despair and sighed, "My life is so miserable. If you don't lend me money, I will borrow money from others..."

····”

After saying that, the three widows left in a hurry.
