This spoiled young master scurried around the valley like a monkey for a while, and finally grabbed the village chief's hand, extremely excited.

"Uncle, thank you for believing in me. Don't worry, I will definitely build this place into a paradise on earth, no, into the Jade Pool of the Queen Mother of the West. If I don't build it well, I'll... I'll eat the shoes!"

The village chief could barely contain his smile; it was truly a divine idea.

He ruined their entire village's livelihood, and now we're expecting him to eat shoes? Does he think eating shoes is a form of wealth?

But since things had already come to this, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and accept it. "Then I'll have to trouble...Young Master Yan from now on!"

Yes, this monkey-like spoiled young master has a very upright name: Yan Zheng!

I don't know which elder gave him that name; all I can say is that the hope was good, but reality was cruel...

Yan Zheng stayed at Broken Gold Beach from then on, and even when the craftsmen went home at night, he did not leave.

At night, we sat around the campfire with the villagers, drinking wild vegetable porridge from large earthenware bowls and eating flatbread. We talked about how the valley was built, what kind of houses each family wanted, and how to save materials and money, and we were surprisingly knowledgeable about it.

This finally put the villagers at ease. This person seemed unreliable, but he did have some real skills.

Jiayin was sitting on a small stone, her oil paper package open. A group of little children surrounded her, each of them sharing a piece of osmanthus candy, licking it with great satisfaction, their saliva dripping onto their clothes.

Jiaxi and Jia'an, along with a few other boys, were also very tempted. They squatted nearby and played, but their eyes kept glancing at the oil paper package in Jiayin's hand, filled with longing.

Jiayin called out in her childish voice, "Brother, brother!"

Jia'an and Jiaxi immediately ran over excitedly, and then the remaining few pieces of osmanthus candy sweetened several mouths.

The old people and women, upon seeing this, all praised the good news.

“Our Fu Niu is such a good girl. She’s never stingy and always shares most of her food with others.”

"Yes, and they never cry. They're always smiling, which makes people happy just looking at them."

"Aunt Li gave her such a good name, Fu Niu. Isn't she the luckiest little girl? Not to mention, Madam Cui treats Fu Niu like her own daughter, and Young Master Ye never lets go of her whenever he comes over, always holding her in his arms."

The Li family listened to the gossip and felt both happy and proud.

That night, Yan Zheng slept in a shack with the villagers, and in the middle of the night, he excitedly got up and followed Li Laosi and the others on patrol...

The massive construction project began the very next day.

As soon as it got light, almost everyone in the village who was able to move went up the mountain.

Cut down trees, mow grass, and continue clearing land.

When the sun was high in the sky, Li Laosi stayed behind, while Liu Biaotou and Li Laoer took the silver and went with Yan Zheng to buy materials.

By noon, the first truckload of timber had been delivered to the valley.

The villagers worked together to unload it, and then the stone materials arrived...

Goods and supplies flowed in like water, and money was spent just as quickly.

Fortunately, Ye Shan returned to the city and brought back the six hundred taels of silver from Young Master Ye, which he then handed over to Li Lao Er.

The villagers wished they had eight hands, as they were all so busy they barely had time to breathe.

Even though everyone was so tired at night that they fell asleep as soon as their heads hit the pillow and snored loudly, no one complained about being tired or overworked.

The elderly people are too old to do heavy work, so they carry the babies on their backs while chopping firewood, boiling water, and cooking.

Whenever the women had free time, they would take their young boys up the mountain to cut grass and carry dwarf pines down the mountain.

The men had to cut down trees, move stones and timber, clear land, and keep watch at night.

Everyone was working with great enthusiasm to build their new home as soon as possible.

It's not just about them finding a place to live; it's about laying a foundation for their descendants to pass on their legacy.

They worked for five or six days straight, and all the materials were transported into the valley, and the hills on both sides were cleared.

Jiayin was so anxious she was jumping up and down. She had finally waited for this day because the fruit tree seedlings in the nursery were so crowded that they would probably all bloom if they weren't moved out soon.

In the middle of the night, she carefully got up, passed through the "encirclement" of her grandmother and brothers, and finally cautiously reached Dongmei's side.

Dongmei, who was skilled in martial arts, was extremely alert and woke up almost immediately.

Jiayin quickly leaned close to her ear and said, "Aunt Mei, take me out."

Without hesitation, Dongmei immediately grabbed an outer garment, wrapped it around Jiayin's back, and went out.

The villagers on night duty saw her but didn't ask any questions, assuming she needed to relieve herself.

In the darkness, no one saw that she had an extra baby on her back.

When Jiayin saw that she was about a hundred feet away from the camp, she quietly moved the sapling out of her space.

Each of these saplings is as thick as a small rolling pin. More than a thousand of them are stacked together like a small mountain, which is quite a lot.

Jiayin secretly swallowed and urged Dongmei to go back.

Dongmei was a little confused, but she didn't ask.

Back in the shack, Jiayin whispered in her ear, "Aunt Mei, Uncle Ye brought fruit trees to plant on both sides of the mountain. Tomorrow morning, take my father and the others to that spot and bring the saplings back."

Although Dongmei had received instructions from her master, she couldn't help but be surprised. Could it be that the little maid had gone to check on the saplings just now, but she hadn't noticed?

Jiayin's heart was in her throat, but thankfully, Dongmei quickly replied, "Okay."

Jiayin breathed a long sigh of relief, wrapped herself in her little blanket, and fell fast asleep.

The question of how to get these fruit trees out had tormented her for days, but now that it was solved, she felt incredibly relieved and could finally catch up on her sleep.

She slept quite a bit that night, not waking up until the sun was high in the sky.

Madam Cui arrived at some point and sat down to talk to Old Lady Li.

“Auntie, my senior brother and I will buy five shares. That way, we can feel more at ease whether we come to visit or stay for a while. Here are two hundred taels of silver. Sixty taels will be returned to Young Master Ye. Please help me talk to him about this, as we've taken his profits. As for the other one hundred and forty taels, please ask the village to help me build a small courtyard, preferably next to your house.”

Old Mrs. Li readily accepted the silver and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Young Master Ye is not a stingy person. Besides, the village originally wanted to keep five shares for you, but since you couldn't come over for a while and were in urgent need of silver, Young Master Ye covered all of them. I'll have my second son and the others put a lot of effort into building your courtyard. You can come and stay often, and we can get along very well."

When Madam Cui turned around, she found that Jiayin was awake, so she quickly picked her up, wiped her face and combed her hair by hand, and then took her out for a walk.

Right now, the villagers, young and old, are working hard to transport fruit trees up the mountain.

Everyone was overjoyed, constantly exclaiming, "Young Master Ye is simply amazing! Where did you find so many fruit trees?"

"Yes, I thought it would be great if we planted fruit trees on this mountain. Not only would the flowers be beautiful, but we could also pick the fruit and sell it in the fall."

"The village chief said that the fruit trees are still small, and crops can be planted under them this year."

Yan Zheng was so excited that he danced around like a monkey.

"These are apple trees, they bloom in May, and by then the hot spring resort will be finished. Those suckers in Kyoto will probably rush over like crazy to throw money at it! Haha, let them laugh at me for not doing my proper business, this time I'll show them what I'm capable of! This paradise on earth was created by me!"

This is the third update for today! The book reviews are almost at 1000, so I'll be preparing a fourth update soon! Remember, my darlings, don't let this post get too long; come back often, give me some encouragement, and leave a five-star review!
