Rebirth, end of the world, time travel, escape famine, make money!

From what he said, Father Liu seemed quite humane and didn't arrange you anywhere right after you arrived.

Instead, ask him about his situation and thoughts first.

After thinking it over, he said, "We have a large group of people. A few of us came here by boat first, and another group of people came here by land. It will probably be about seven or eight days later.

We are all from the same village and want to be arranged together. If there is a village with many barren mountains, we can pool our savings and buy some low-quality land.

In the future, I can grow more food with my own hands and feed my family no matter what.”

Liu Caixia added: "After we got off the boat, we looked over from the pier and saw a mountainous area. I heard people say there was a depression between the two mountains, and there were also a lot of wasteland on the mountains on both sides that could be reclaimed.

I wonder if we can arrange to go to a nearby village, and by the way, see the price if we buy the depression and the nearby wasteland."

After listening to what they said, the head of the household department couldn't help but look up and look at these people. It seemed that these people also understood something.

Otherwise he wouldn't have explained it so clearly. He knew about that depression. Someone there had wanted to buy it for a bargain and turn it into fertile farmland before, but it was too difficult.

Because it is close to the river and between two mountains, the soil in the depression is too soft and there is no way to turn it into fertile farmland.

Moreover, once it rains there, or when there is more rain, the water level in the river is too high and the river water will flow back into the area, making it impossible to grow crops.

But now some people want to settle there, and even want that piece of land. It is also a political achievement for him. Of course he is very happy, but he still explains the specific situation to them.

"The situation over there is more complicated. Now that you have learned about it, you know that it is not easy to turn that low-lying land into fertile farmland. It is indeed ownerless land and is currently under the management of our county government.

I don't know if you have inquired clearly, but if it rains there, the river water will flow back in and pedestrians will not be able to pass along the river bank. You either have to go by water or take a detour along the mountain road to get to the county town.

People from the village over there basically don't come to the county town during the rainy season. Although it is very close to the county town, it is very far away after going around the mountain road.

However, there is a town over there. There is a market in the town on every March, June and September. The villages in the town trade with each other at the market and can meet their daily needs.

As for the nearby mountains, except for those near the county town, all other mountains can be sold, and they are all public property. Don't you need to go and take a look?

There are boundary markers between the mountains. It depends on how many acres of wasteland you want to buy. The price of that low-lying land is the same. From the beginning, people have been asking for the price. If you really want to buy, I can give you a proper discount.

But once you have bought it, unless you find another buyer to buy it, the county government will not be able to buy it back at the original price. As for the wasteland and hilltops, the price depends on the actual number of acres you purchase.

You guys discuss it, if you are sure, I will arrange household registration for you so that you can settle down in the village over there."

Father Liu nodded and said, "Thank you, host."

"No need to thank me, you don't need to call me Sir, just call me the head of the household department."

"Yes."

Father Liu saw that he spoke with sincerity and it seemed that he did not care about these false reputations. Although his official position was not high-ranking, he was a down-to-earth person who wanted to get practical things done.

"What do you think? Otherwise, just follow what Caixia found out. After listening to it, I think that position is indeed suitable.

The low-lying land is not a problem. We can build embankments and fish ponds to raise fish and grow lotus roots. The soil there should be very fertile. There shouldn't be any big problems growing lotus roots. We can buy a nearby hill as our base and develop slowly."

"Uncle Liu, I think it's okay."

The three Liu Hao brothers all thought it was a good idea.

Liu Caixia must have thought that was enough. She didn't want to go into the village and compete with the villagers for territory. The right thing to do was to create new territory for herself.

Liu Xiaolu, as a child, has no right to speak.

As a servant, Tian Zhaodi had no right to speak.

The matter was happily decided.

Father Liu walked up to the head of the household department and said, "Then please help us with the formalities. We want to buy that piece of low-lying land, and we also want to buy the mountain to the east of the low-lying land. Please measure it and give us a price."

Father Liu pretended to think deeply. He wanted to buy the mountain and the land, so he still had to think about the issue of money.

"Mr. Householder, if we cannot afford the mountain land at the moment, could you give us some time to collect the money?

We will pay part of the money first. We have relatives coming behind us. When they arrive, we will all pool money together and then pay the rest.

Don't worry, we will definitely not default on the payment. Our family has some small businesses in the local area, and we have some inventory at home. We should be able to make up the difference by selling some of our belongings."

"I can't make the decision on this. Wait until I find out the situation of that village and get you your household registration certificate. I'll take you to the county magistrate, and he will make the decision then."

"Good work."

Father Liu didn't know what to say and could only thank him politely.

This procedure is indeed very cumbersome, just like handling official business in modern times. It takes layers of formalities and cannot be completed immediately.

All we can do is wait.

The head of the household department took out a stack of blank papers, which looked much thicker, and placed them on the table.

He went to the bookshelf at the back and searched for a while before pulling out three books.

He took the three booklets and placed them on the table. He opened a blank page, dipped the edge of the booklet in ink, and asked, "I'll register you first, one by one.

I have three copies here. After registration, I will make a certificate for you to take away. You will have to take all of these to the county magistrate for stamping.

Okay, first of all, your name, age, family relationships, facial and physical features must be stated in detail.

Not only will I check it later, the county magistrate will also conduct random checks. If any false information is found, it will be invalidated and there will be punishment. "

"Okay, I won't say anything nonsense. I'll go first then."

Father Liu stood at the front and spoke first.

"Father Liu, fifty-seven years old."

Based on his age, he reported a date of birth that was consistent with this era.

"September 11th, the Year of the Rabbit, the 38th year of Tianyuan."

The month and date at the end are his real dates.

Fortunately, people of their age still know something about these zodiac signs and years.

"There are six people in the family."

Liu Caixia reminded her father: "Dad, you also need to remind Mrs. Tan, Mrs. Zhao, and Aunt Tian's family."

"Master, we bought a few people on the way, and we signed a contract with another person. What are we going to do with them when the time comes?"

"When the time comes, just bring the indenture and the contract over for stamping and filing."

"Okay, thank you."

Then he continued to talk in a thunderous manner: "I have two scars on my left shoulder that are the size of a copper coin. People in my area have had them since childhood. The shapes are slightly different, but the general positions are almost the same. There is a scar on my left foot. I accidentally cut myself while doing farm work."

In fact, it is the scar left by the smallpox vaccination when I was a child.

“That’s pretty much it.”

The head of the household department looked at Liu's father's appearance again and wrote down the description of his facial features based on his own ideas.

The last person’s information filled up an entire page.
