No matter if you are a human or an immortal, you can still farm for me after traveling through time!

Halfway through the year, the temperature in June is getting higher and higher. From time to time, a dark cloud comes and a shower sweeps away the temporary heat.

After harvesting the wheat, Li Erlang carried the painting on his back and went to the county to get the household registration paper.

The two of them came to the county government office and stuffed a handful of copper coins into the servant who led the way, and then they got this light piece of paper.

After Li Erlang poked his head to confirm that it was correct, he asked Ji Qingyue to put it away. He cursed in his heart: Yue Lang spent nearly two hundred taels of silver to get this household registration paper.

Ji Qingyue also calculated in his mind that in this era when a penny was worth a pound of rice, he spent almost two hundred taels to settle in the county seat. If converted, it was equivalent to seven to eight hundred thousand to buy a registered permanent residence in a northwest county.

Of course, along with the household registration, the house deed was also obtained.

He put the two pieces of paper into the waterproof sandwich of the nylon bag, zipped it up, and put it into the painting without fear of being stolen or being found later.

Compared with Ji Qingyue, who was in a good mood, Li Erlang made no secret of his face and showed all his unhappiness. Ji Qingyue couldn't help laughing when he saw it, and pulled him: "Let's take you there After you look at the house and find the way, remember to come and see me when you are free."

Li Erlang looked even more unhappy after hearing this. "Yue Lang, are you really not going back?"

"How can it be."

Just as he was about to feel relieved, he heard Ji Qingyue continue: "I will always go back and stay for two days."

"..." Li Erlang didn't dare to get angry or say anything, and followed Ji Qingyue to the address on the household registration.

The environment of this alley is similar to the carpenter's shop I visited last time. There are dozens of alleys intertwined with each other and extending in all directions. Most of them are houses with shops. There are many small shops. There are all kinds of homes and passers-by. The environment is not clean and safe. Not anywhere.

That's why the price is so low.

When he thought that Ji Qingyue wanted to live by himself, Li Erlang inspected the house with a critical attitude. He didn't think it was safe before, but now he felt that the alley was unsafe. Not only was the environment noisy, but it was also a place where people from all walks of life gathered. "Yue Lang, if you live alone, what should you do if something happens to you?"

The most important thing is that Ji Qingyue can't stay outside all the time. Over time, the neighbors will always become suspicious. If a thief targets him and sneaks into the house to rummage through the cabinets, it won't matter if Ji Qingyue comes out, and it won't matter if he doesn't come out, isn't it? Nothing to do?

What Li Erlang is most worried about is what if the scroll is taken away or damaged by others! ! !

Now just walking to the alley entrance, Li Erlang has so many opinions. He stared nervously at all the shops and houses he passed, trying to spot anyone with malicious intentions.

"Ah..." Ji Qingyue gave Li Erlang a headache. Li Erlang covered his forehead and looked at the instigator pitifully.

"Don't do anything unnecessary. I just came here to meet you today. Besides, I'm not moving in right away."

"Oh……"

Ji Qingyue and Li Erlang came to the middle of the alley. The facade, about five or six meters wide, was a typical shop facade. Now the signboard on it has been removed, and the entire facade is tightly blocked by wooden barriers.

After using the key to unlock the lock on the fender, the two of them worked together to remove the fender and put it aside. Then they saw the door and window behind the fender.

The doorway is located on the right side of the entire facade. It is two meters wide. The double sliding door with brown wood texture is simple. There is a lock on the door. On the left side of the door are three long wooden windows. The paper on the window has been stained yellow by the years. The long window is half a person's height from the ground. The window sash can be removed from the house. After being removed, it becomes the window sill for attracting customers. Daily business is done through these three windows, which is very convenient.

The window frames are made of wood, the door leaves are also made of wood, and the entire wall facing the street is made of wood.

As Ji Qingyue opened the door of the shop, he was greeted by the smell of mutton that permeated the entire shop. He had already smelled it when he removed the wooden boards. This shop used to sell mutton soup.

The inside of the shop was clean and bright, without any furniture. There were two black marks left on the ground after being burned for a long time, which should be the location of the stove. Before buying the house, Mr. Li looked carefully and found that the roof and beams were in good condition, with no light leakage or insect infestation.

The entire shop is only twenty to thirty square meters, which is enough for a small business, but it can only be a take-out business, not allowing customers to dine in.

Compared with Ji Qingyue, who felt satisfied, Li Erlang was in a different mood.

His expression improved when he saw that the shop was separated from the backyard by a blue brick wall. If it had been a wooden board, he couldn't help but curse Yaren and his father.

The shop is connected to the backyard by a wooden door. When they push the door and walk in, what appears in front of them is an extremely small courtyard. The courtyard is covered with stone slabs. It is a bit difficult to grow vegetables and trees, but it is just ten. If Laiping's small yard were used to grow vegetables and trees, it would become even more cramped and it would be impossible to spread it out.

Li Erlang took one look and knew why the price of the house was so cheap.

There is no water source in the house.

Ji Qingyue said that if you need water, go deeper into the alley, at the corner of the intersection. There is a public well there. People in the alley rely on that well for drinking, washing, and cooking.

Behind the courtyard is the residence. Once here, Li Erlang no longer imagined how spacious the room was. When he opened the door, he saw that it was indeed smaller than the area of ​​​​the shop, only about ten or twenty square meters.

There was no Kang in the room, just an empty canopy bed, a dining table and four standard stools.

The kitchen is sandwiched between the bedroom and the wall. The roof is lower than the bedroom, and there is no door. The width is only one or two meters, but it is quite deep.

Deep inside is the single-burner stove and chimney.

Nothing, it’s over.

Li Erlang read it at a glance, and in the end he was unable to complain. The house price of fifty-eight taels, plus the hard work fee of twenty-eight taels, is sixty taels, which is how much house I can buy.

Expensive, small and nothing.

He just wanted to find Yaren quickly, check out the hotel, and then take Ji Qingyue home.

But Ji Qingyue himself was quite satisfied.

There are two or three-meter-high walls with residential houses on both sides. If the shop is modified and the wooden walls are replaced with brick walls, the sound insulation effect will be better, and it can also be used as a room. The yard is not big, so we don’t plant trees and vegetables. Anyway, they are in the paintings. You can fan in the yard to enjoy the coolness at night. There is a water tank in the corner, so you don’t have to be too cautious about using water. As for the bedroom, it was no different from the one he lived in in the painting. Just buy a suitcase to put clothes in.

The kitchen is too deep...

Wait, he seems to have missed some important configuration.

bathroom.

He only cares about eating and drinking, not having diarrhea, but Li Erlang and the others can't.

Ji Qingyue didn't care about Li Erlang's mumbling in his ear, but thought about how to solve the toilet problem.

He looked deep into the stove.

Have it.

Move the stove to the yard and put an oilcloth over it to keep out the rain. Then divide the compartment into two and install a door. The front is the bathroom, and the back is the toilet, with dry and wet separation.

The drainage outlet of the house is just a small gap at the root of the yard wall. There is less rain in the northwest, so drainage does not need to be excellent.

No matter how Li Erlang found faults, Ji Qingyue would pull them out and arrange the house neatly and clearly. "If you come to see me then, you can sleep in the shop room outside. In a few days, I will find someone to change the wooden wall into a brick wall. It will not be too cold in the winter."

"Where are you looking for someone? My father can build walls, and you can ask Uncle Quan for help with doors and windows." Since he couldn't persuade Ji Qingyue to return, Li Erlang stopped annoying people, and was surprised: "Yue Lang, you really want one." People live in it?”

Ji Qingyue waved his hand: "No, it's not practical for me to live alone. The neighbors will be suspicious. I still need someone to socialize for me and deal with the neighbors."

Li Erlang wanted to live with Ji Qingyue, but it was obviously impossible. He could come and stay for a short while when he was not busy with farming, but forget about living there permanently. "who?"

Ji Qingyue smiled and said, "It will be kept secret for now."

A new resident moved into the empty house, and he seemed to be a young and handsome man, which naturally attracted the attention of the neighbors. They came over one after another and asked Ji Qingyue if he was the new resident here.

Most of the people who came to the door were elderly women. They looked at the two of them curiously: "You are brothers, right?"

Ji Qingyue showed a social smile, decent and polite: "Hello, aunties, I am a new resident here. My surname is Ji, Ji of law. Please give me your advice in the future."

"Oh, you are a scholar! You speak so elegantly."

Ji Qingyue still smiled without showing his teeth: "It's because I have been studying for a few years." He has been studying for 20 years in his 23-year-old life, but it doesn't seem to work here. He is still semi-literate when he returns. Thanks to his aunts for their support.

"How old are you? Have you ever married?" The young man is not only handsome, but also a scholar. It's worth asking!

Ji Qingyue's mouth twitched: "Twenty-three years old, not married yet."

"Hey, you are so... old... so old, why don't you get a wife?" A group of aunts seemed to have no end, and they must dig out Ji Qingyue's background.

Ji Qingyue's smile immediately fell, and he raised his hand to wipe his eyes in a pretentious manner: "Because unfortunately I was separated from my parents a year ago, and I don't know if they are still safe. Now I have left my hometown and come here. I swore when I came that I would not be able to find them. He will not take a wife when his parents are there."

Li Erlang looked at it for a while, what a guy!

Ji Qingyue hummed while wiping away his tears. Isn’t it just making up a story? I still can’t stop you from proposing marriage and matchmaking!

His story is not completely made up. When he came to the painting, he was indeed separated from his parents and left his hometown.

When the aunts saw it, Ji Qingyue frowned in sadness and would burst into tears the next moment. If he continued to ask questions, he would hurt her and bring back sad memories. How could this be the first time they met, so They immediately changed the topic and hurriedly introduced themselves and their address. Regardless of whether Ji Qing Yue could remember it, they stopped interrupting and left quickly.

In modern society, neighborly relations have never been cordial, and he could not adapt to this atmosphere for a while.

A hug!

After seeing the house with Li Erlang, they were about to go back. Before leaving, they locked the door and put back the door panel. Then they went to the carpenter's shop to collect their share, and by the way, they mentioned the business of custom-made doors and windows.

It's almost July now, and there are only two months left before the one-year profit sharing. After experiencing a peak of two hundred taels in four months, the profit sharing has slowly declined, and Shandan's demand for bellows has gradually reached saturation.

Li Daquan's carpentry shop mainly cooperated with officials to provide goods to places such as iron shops and salt shops. After other carpenters learned how to make bellows, in addition to following the common people's route, some even joined caravans and sold bellows to further afield.

The benefits of cooperating with the government are not only stable income, but also a reputation that is gradually promoted. Everyone knows that Li Daquan is the number one maker of bellows, but it is just a name. If you want to sell further, you still have to rely on Caravan.

Li Daquan said that since the banditry in Juoshan was solved, other bandits seemed to have restrained themselves a little. Now the number of caravans has slowly begun to increase, and he finally found a caravan to discuss the sale of bellows.

After bidding farewell to Li Daquan, they bought a lot of things on the street, including Ji Qingyue's own daily necessities and some gifts for the Li family.

Whether it was Aunt Li who brought him food or Aunt Li who accompanied him to apply for household registration, he should express his gratitude.

When Ji Qingyue returned home, he could not get out. Li Erlang handed over the gifts to the Li family on his behalf. The gifts he bought were all small items, not expensive, and the most valuable ones were still in the ground.

At dinner, Li Aniang gave her a rare piece of good news. It had been three months since the new village school was built, and someone was finally willing to be his wife!

After hearing this, Li Silang felt both uneasy and expectant. The uneasy was because he didn't know what kind of person Dao Tao was, whether he was strict or not. The uneasy was because he wanted to go to school.

But when he thought about not having any friends in the academy, the child felt a little disappointed.

Suddenly, Li Erlang said: "If Shilang goes to the county to study, do you think it is feasible, father and mother?"

Li Erlang's words were so confusing, Aniang Li looked puzzled: "Why should we go to the county? Elementary school in the county is not only expensive but also far away. Silang is so young..."

"Today I inquired in the county. It is true that the elementary education in the county is one tael more expensive than that in the village. It takes five taels to practice. However, they also teach more than those in the village. If Shiro wants to take the imperial examination in the future, he must study the Ming Jing coursework in advance. , then you can take the county examination a few years earlier.”

Li Sanlang started his education in the village school. After entering the county school, he spent many years to lay the foundation. Now he took the county examination at the age of sixteen. Although he is a normal age, there are many eleven or twelve-year-old students in the county who have passed the county examination. , after passing the county examination, you can receive Linshan, which is a food subsidy, although it is not much.

In addition, one person in the family can also be exempted from food tax.

"I have also saved some money over the years. I will add one tael to the four or two bunches of repairs that Auntie prepared for Shilang..." Li Erlang was interrupted by Auntie Li before he could finish his words: "What nonsense are you talking about? How can you use your money?" Money..." But she did not reject Li Erlang immediately.

Finally, Aunt Li ended the topic: "I will discuss it carefully with you grandma when we get back."

In this way, Li Erlang knew that his father and mother had listened.

Now I have an excuse to go to the county often.

He already had a guess about the person Ji Qingyue would choose, and he wanted to send Shiro to the county. He would definitely be surprised in the future.

The protagonist in question, Li Silang, was holding his big job blankly, wondering why his second brother suddenly said that he was going to be sent to the county school. The county school was so far away from home!

I feel wronged, but I dare not say it.
