Just as the village chief was leading the villagers out of the village to look for Li Yun, they saw Li Yun coming back on a horse, followed by a team of ox carts and horse carts.

What's going on?

Why are there so many ox carts and horse carts?

Could something have happened to Chen Ye’s family?

The villagers of Qingshan Village wondered.

If Li Yun knew what the villagers were thinking, he would definitely roll his eyes.

Haha, thinking too much, can’t that be a good thing?

"Dad, uncle village chief, where are you going?" Li Yun got off the carriage, came to his father-in-law and the village chief, and asked them.

"My dear, you are finally back.

We are here to look for you." Chen Mo said to Li Yun happily when he saw her coming back.

“Looking for me?

You saw that I didn't come back all night and were worried that something might happen to me?

Just organize the villagers to look for me?" Li Yun looked at the dark circles under Chen Mo's eyes and knew that he must have been worried and hadn't slept all night. He felt ashamed and a little warm in his heart.

"Yeah! What happened to Li girl?

Where did you spend last night?

What are those ox carts and horse carriages behind?

Why are there so many people? "The village chief looked at the cars full of people, feeling frightened and panicked.

"I'm sorry, Dad, Uncle Village Chief, I forgot to send someone back to tell you yesterday.

They are all servants I bought." So Li Yun told the village chief and his father about the purchase.

Of course, he didn’t mention the incident at Black Wind Village, nor did he mention the incident of rescuing the girl at Black Wind Village.

"Girl Li, are you really capable?

Bought so many servants? "When the village chief heard that those people behind were Li Yatou's servants, he felt that his worldview was about to collapse.

It turns out that these rural people can also buy people in this way. They are more capable than those landlords.

"It's our old house, with so many people. Where do they live?" Chen Mo said with a headache.

"Dad, this is a headache for me too. Uncle Village Chief, are there any vacant houses in our village?" Li Yun said to the village chief.

"Yes, there are some, but they are all dilapidated houses and thatched huts. Where are you really going to let those people live?" The village chief was a little scared when he thought of those houses.

“Why don’t we take a look and rent it if it’s suitable.

They won't live here for too long. I'll have to build a house soon." Li Yun decided to go and look at some houses. If they weren't suitable, she would buy Mongolian tents from the shopping platform and let those people live in them. When the house was built, they would have a new house to live in.

With so many people who can build houses, I believe it will be completed soon.

"Okay, I'll take Li Yatou to take a look." When the village chief heard Li Yun say this, he also knew that so many people needed a place to live.

Li Yun asked An Yi, Manager Cui and Manager Qian to go with her to see the house, and asked Chen Mo to take the rest of the people home.

The village chief mentioned four houses and took Li Yun to see the first one first.

Very close to her home was a thatched house with four rooms, each of which could accommodate four beds.

Li Yun planned to have two people sleep in each bed, so that 32 people could be accommodated.

Then I looked at the second house. It was bigger than the first one, with two more rooms, and could accommodate forty-eight people.

The third room is a courtyard, which is relatively large, but rather dilapidated. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a dangerous building.

It would be dangerous if it was windy and rainy.

"Uncle Village Chief, who owns this courtyard?" Li Yun did not find any information about this courtyard from the original owner's memory bank, so he asked the village chief.

"This yard belongs to Chen Xionghui from our village.

Because he did business in the town and made some money, he bought a house in the town and never came back to live there.

When they first moved out, the yard was still in good condition, so they wanted to sell it.

You know the situation in our village, no one can afford it, so it is just left there.

Since no one lived there, it was exposed to the elements and became like this.” The village chief explained the situation of the yard to Li Yun.

"An Yi, do you think a yard like this is habitable?" Li Yun asked An Yi. She liked this yard very much. If she bought it, it would be no problem for a hundred people to live in it.

"Master, you can live here. After some repairs, you can live here for a year or two." An Yi looked at the beams on the roof. They were not damaged by insects yet. It would not collapse after a year or two.

"Okay, let's buy it. We can move into the new house in three months at most." Li Yun was so happy to hear that he could live in it for a year or two, so he decided on it immediately.

With so many people, it shouldn’t take long to build a villa.

"Li girl, are you really determined to buy it?

If it's windy and rainy, the house will collapse at any time." The village chief decided to remind Li Yun again.

"It's okay. Among those people, there are many people who build houses. We can ask them to repair it when the time comes, and there will be no problem." Li Yun knew that the village chief was worried that the house would collapse and hit people.

"Since Miss Li has said so, the village chief will not persuade us anymore. Let's go and see the next house?" After saying this, the village chief took Li Yun and others to see the fourth house.

This house is also bigger than the first and second ones, and with this house, they can be accommodated.

"Uncle Village Chief, I also want to rent this house. Can you tell me the total rent for the four houses?

I'll rent it for six months first. If I don't live there for the full six months, I don't have to pay the money. Just consider it a gift to the village chief." Li Yun thought it would take at most three months to build, but she was afraid that if it wasn't finished by then, she would have to rent it again, so she decided to rent it for a longer period.

"Girl Li, the village chief will give you a discount on the four houses. The courtyard will be 500 coins a month, and the other three houses will be 300 coins a month. What do you think, girl Li?" The village chief lowered the price a lot because he didn't want Li Yun to spend too much money.

"Uncle Village Chief, how about this price?

"Manager Qian, can you please calculate how much silver it will cost?" Li Yun said to Manager Qian.

In fact, she had already figured it out and just wanted to test Manager Qian's ability.

"Yes, master." Shopkeeper Qian took out a small abacus from his sleeve and started tapping it, and soon figured it out.

Li Yun————

You can do it this way. There is actually a small abacus hidden in the sleeve.

As a shopkeeper, I can't count without an abacus.

When I have time, I will teach the shopkeepers the quick mental arithmetic skills I learned in my previous life, so that they don’t have to bring an abacus with them even when they go out to discuss business.

Mental arithmetic is both simple and fast. Take this for example. There are three houses, each house is three hundred wen a month, half a year is six months, and the three houses add up to eighteen months. Three hundred wen a month, which is three hundred times eighteen, equals five thousand four hundred wen.

That yard is five hundred times six, which is three thousand wen, a total of eight thousand four hundred wen, which is eight taels and four hundred wen.

You see, it’s fast and accurate, and there’s no need for an abacus at all.

While Li Yun was calculating in his mind, the shopkeeper Qian also tapped out the answer: "Master, the total is eight taels and four hundred coins."

"Okay, Manager Cui, wait a moment, you write a lease and have the village chief stamp it, then pay the rent in one lump sum and give it to the village chief." Li Yun handed the matter over to Manager Cui, and from then on all matters in her family were handed over to Manager Cui.

"Yes, master." Manager Cui agreed quickly.
