Chapter 5

With money, everything else is easy to talk about.

According to Shi Chuying's understanding, one must first have an identity outside the mountain, that is, a household sticker.

Shi Chuying must have had it originally.It's just that she went to Moyun Mountain at the age of three, and of course she didn't have the household allowance or anything, and now she doesn't know where it is.

I have been separated from my family so far, where can I find it?
Fortunately, money can turn ghosts around.

Pack more than a dozen money, the official matchmaker's wife is the best at talking, so I pointed her out immediately: These days, new households can increase the population and taxes, plus some money, go to the village to buy some land, and there is nothing else to do. No way.

The people in Wangyun Village heard that the grandpa and grandson collected herbs for a living, and that the grandpa was getting old and wanted to settle down near the mountain, so they really welcomed it.

You know, it's not easy to have a doctor in these ten miles and eight villages. Even if you don't know how to see a doctor, you can still know herbal medicine!
Who doesn't have a disease or a disaster? How can the poor people have money to see a doctor.Ordinarily, I just find some herbs to make do with it. Those with good luck will survive, and those with bad luck will die. It is rare to ask a bell doctor.

Therefore, the master and the apprentice bought a field in Wangyun Village in the name of their grandfather and grandson and registered their household registration, and they finally had a family business.Shi Chuying even spent a lot of brainpower in order to choose a common name for the unnamed Taoist priest to use as a household sticker.

In the end, Taoist Wuming said that many people didn't have a formal name in their entire lives, as long as it wasn't a name like Goudan or Ergouzi, it was fine.

Shi Chuying remembered that there is a passage in "Tao Te Ching" that says "the beginning of the unknown world. The mother of all things is named." It is used to refer to "Tao", so she suggested using 'Tongxuan' as the common name.

Wuming Daoist thought it was right, so he nodded.

Shi Chuying bought [-] acres of medium-sized fields in the village, and also bought a piece of wasteland with hills, nearly [-] acres.

With the fields, they can be regarded as farmers in Wangyun Village.Although the master and the apprentice did not plan to live in the village permanently, they still lived in the mountains under the name of collecting medicine, but it was impossible to have no house.

Shi Chuying didn't like the mud and thatched huts in the village, so she bought a homestead on a shallow slope of Wangyun Mountain, and used the money to hire someone to build a new house.

At this time, it was mid-winter outside the mountain, and the foundation could not be dug in the freezing weather. We had to wait for the land to thaw in spring before starting construction.

However, it is convenient to prepare materials first during this winter leisure time.All kinds of wood, bricks, stones, and sand were bought and piled up in front of me. The map of the house was also drawn out, and the people who built the house were also found. The construction can only start next spring.

Great Chu Kingdom does not need money to open up wasteland, but the county government officials and the village chief must reclaim the land together. The first three years are exempt from taxes, and after three years, these wastelands are taxed like other fields.

The other [-] mu of land will be taxed in the coming year, including various taxes and fees for households.

For the tax after three years, Shi Chuying accepted the suggestion of the village chief and gave five slings of copper coins to the government official, who counted the [-] mu of wasteland as [-] mu and issued a contract.

As for the [-] acres of medium dry land that Shi Chuying rented out, she would not plant these fields by herself.

The house hadn't been built yet, and it was difficult for Shi Chuying and his father to live in the village, so they only visited the village every now and then under the pretense of living in the mountains while gathering herbs.

She hired people to guard the foundation materials of the house, and paid for people to cut down the dead branches and trees on the wasteland and hills in the winter, and transport them to make firewood and pile them up near the house.

Otherwise, who will chop firewood between her and the unnamed Taoist priest?

In Moyun Mountain, they all practice kung fu as chopping firewood, and I'm afraid it won't be easy to use it in the village.

After arranging the house and fields, Shi Chuying was about to go into the mountains again.

At this time, the village head who had been following him all the time opened his mouth.He didn't want to say it either, but the villagers couldn't refuse their request, so he had no choice but to do it.

However, this Miss Shi is really not a good talker!Even if he is the head of the village, he is still apprehensive. He does not owe the village money, goods or favors.

"Is there something wrong with the village chief?" Shi Chuying had already seen that something was wrong with the old man, and had been walking around her for a long time.It's not easy to hold back for a while.

Of course something happened!It turned out that the villagers begged the village head to talk about the matter. Everyone thought that if the Shi family had herbs, they might as well sell some in the village, so everyone could borrow some from the nearest one?
The village head is a man in his forties, so it's not natural to ask for a big girl at this time.

"Uncle probably knows that we are not doctors, right? There are herbal medicines, but we don't know how to see a doctor, so we can't prescribe prescriptions."

What Shi Chuying said was also true.

The two masters and apprentices know herbal medicine and can make medicine, which doesn't mean they can see a doctor.Moreover, their cultivators are best at treating internal and external injuries, but they are really not the best at treating ordinary ailments.

Naturally, they also have the ancient classics that have been passed down in their hands, and according to the medicinal properties of Moyun Mountain, they refine some pills as appropriate, which is naturally a rare medicine that is hard to find in the world.But these can't flow out of the mountain.
