The county magistrate was so frightened that he trembled and stammered, "Miss, just go ahead and use it, you don't need to ask me!"

Tang Qiqi's expression suddenly changed, and she said indignantly, "You incompetent official! You are the magistrate of Huaiyuan County. If we don't ask you about this, who should we ask? Are you just a figurehead?"

The county magistrate felt extremely wronged: "Young lady, isn't it because you need the land? If it were someone else, I would naturally have carefully checked it!"

Tang Qiqi persisted, saying, "What did I tell you before? Everything must be done according to the law, and we should focus on the issue, not the person. Since we're using public land, we have to follow the rules!"

The county magistrate was in a dilemma. It wasn't unheard of for public land to be occupied, and those who could do so were not ordinary people; they were either rich or powerful. What could a lowly official like him do?

He thought that he would be fine once he agreed to Tang Qiqi's request, but he didn't expect that the child would also talk to him about the law.

The county magistrate knew that Tang Qiqi was not easily fooled, but in this matter, his word did not count!

So he had no choice but to tell the truth: "Miss Qiqi, it's only because it's with you that I'm allowed to follow the legal procedures. With other people, they wouldn't even inform me beforehand. I have no other choice!"

Tang Qiqi knew he was telling the truth. She couldn't and didn't want to get involved in this matter. Tang Qiqi didn't have any grand ambitions; she just wanted to take care of her own family.

So she said, "Others are others, but our Tang family has always acted with integrity and honesty. Now show me what I should do if I want that piece of land!"

The county magistrate invited Tang Qiqi and Qingfeng inside, and then summoned his advisor to explain the specific steps.

The clerk repeated the law, saying, "These are the two rules: either lease or buy out. I wonder which method the young lady wants to use. Should I have your husband come and discuss it?"

Without hesitation, Tang Qiqi said, "We'll buy it out! You calculate how much silver it will cost!" She believed that land would never be useless!

The clerk bluntly stated, "Although that piece of land is large, it is a barren wasteland. At most, three hundred and eighty taels of silver will suffice!"

Tang Qiqi was somewhat incredulous. She asked, "Such a big place for only 380 taels? Are you sure you didn't give me special treatment?"

The clerk was an honest old man. He chuckled and said, "Young lady, this is the first time you've offered to pay on your own initiative. I didn't try to raise the price, and I even tried to negotiate it down. Don't worry!"

Tang Qiqi then gave up, had the clerk draft the document, and after that, had him sign and affix his seal. Then she placed several gleaming silver ingots on the table and instructed the county magistrate, "The money has been given to you. Remember to deposit it into the public treasury!"

After saying that, she took the agreement, went out the door, got on her big scooter, and rode away calling out to Qingfeng.

Qingfeng originally felt ashamed to be parading around with a little boy riding a sheep, but he never expected Tang Qiqi to be so prestigious that even the county magistrate had to treat her with utmost respect.

Qingfeng asked curiously, "Does this county magistrate have some kind of leverage over you? Why is he so afraid of you?"

Tang Qiqi pouted and said, "Actually, he's not afraid of me. I'm just using him as a shield. But now that we have the land deed, we can start preparing to build the factory!"

Qingfeng shook his head: "We need to hire a group of strong laborers to dig up the mountain and level the land first, then dig the foundation. Building the factory is still a long way off!"

Tang Qiqi said mysteriously, "I can dig a mountain out and level the ground overnight. Do you want to see that?"

Qingfeng snorted coldly: "Little girl, you're really blowing your own horn!"

Tang Qiqi continued to provoke Qingfeng: "If you dare, let's go see it together tonight. I guarantee you won't regret it!"

Qingfeng wasn't easily intimidated, so there was no reason for him not to go. He readily agreed, wanting to see how this little girl would handle the situation!

So the two agreed to go to that place together at dusk. Tang Qiqi had no choice; otherwise, she wouldn't have let Qingfeng see such an unbelievable thing.

Digging mountains can't be done by manpower alone. She remembered that the university town in her space was under expansion and construction, and there were two heavy machines inside.

Tang Qiqi planned to take out the excavator and use it. But her short legs made it impossible for her to operate it, so she had to call Qingfeng.

When the two arrived at their destination, it was already dark, and a huge creature was standing motionless, carrying a shovel.

Qingfeng grabbed Qiqi and said, "Girl, don't move, there seems to be something ahead!"

Tang Qiqi said casually, "Uncle, that's the tool I borrowed for the expert, it's called an excavator!"

Hearing her say that, Qingfeng mustered up his courage and took a few more steps forward to ask, "What is such a huge thing used for?"

"Of course it's for digging mountains!" Tang Qiqi said noncommittally.

Qingfeng curiously circled the excavator and said, "It would probably take ten oxen to pull this!"

Tang Qiqi laughed: "It won't take ten cows, Uncle, you can do it! Come on up!"

As Tang Qiqi spoke, she laboriously climbed into the driver's seat of the excavator and waved to Qingfeng from there.

Qingfeng seemed a little hesitant. He felt that this big guy was tough and cold, and not someone to be trifled with.

Seeing that Qingfeng was unmoved, Tang Qiqi said, "Uncle, are you sure you can handle this? I dared to come up here, what are you afraid of? I'm going to tell Sister Suyun about this when we get back!"

Qingfeng was most afraid of Tang Qiqi and Suyun teasing him together, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Why wouldn't I dare? Move over a bit, and I'll come up right now!"

After saying that, he carefully climbed onto the excavator.

Tang Qiqi took the initiative to hand over the driver's seat to Qingfeng and taught him how to use the control lever.

Qingfeng swayed back and forth, but the big guy didn't move at all. He said with some disdain, "This thing is useless except for being a big shot!"

Tang Qiqi patiently explained, "Uncle, let me show you how to do it. Remember, this is forward, this is backward, this is digging down, and this is grabbing the soil up."

The most important thing is this brake; step on it when you can't control yourself. Practice it some more!

Qingfeng scoffed, "Tang Qiqi, this thing can't be touched, so don't give me any of that nonsense!"

Tang Qiqi didn't argue with him, and just said, "Uncle, sit tight, I'm going to start the fire!"

After Tang Qiqi finished speaking, she turned the key to the excavator. A huge noise came from the machine, and Qingfeng felt the ground tremble.

He exclaimed in horror, "Oh no! This big guy is alive! Tang Qiqi, come on, let's jump down quickly!"

Tang Qiqi grabbed him and said, "Don't panic, give me the joystick, you just need to focus on the accelerator and brake!"

"How do I step on it?" Qingfeng asked helplessly.

Tang Qiqi sighed and said, "The one on the right is for accelerating, and the one on the left is for stopping. I've been talking to you for so long, and you didn't hear a word I said!"

Qingfeng felt as if he had been granted a pardon and slammed on the brakes, bringing the excavator to a sudden stop. Tang Qiqi was almost thrown out of the window.

Tang Qiqi struggled to sit up again and said, "Uncle, you're not trying to dig up the mountain, you're trying to send me away!"

Qingfeng was panicked; this thing was terrifying, and he couldn't wait to get down.

Tang Qiqi glared angrily: "Qingfeng, you stop right there! How can a grown man be so cowardly!"

Qingfeng retorted without backing down: "This thing is making such a racket and has no strategy whatsoever. I don't want to die here!"

"This thing doesn't eat people. If I weren't so short-legged, would I let you see such a strange thing? Shall we slow down this time?" Tang Qiqi was afraid that Qingfeng would give up, so she tried to persuade him gently.

Qingfeng now understood why Tang Qiqi insisted on calling him; it turned out she couldn't handle it alone.

Although he was outmaneuvered by Tang Qiqi, Qingfeng wasn't too angry. If she wasn't afraid of a little girl, then he, a grown man, shouldn't hesitate and give up.

So Qingfeng sat back down in his chair and cautiously asked, "What should I do now?"

Tang Qiqi was amused by his fidgety appearance and said, "Relax first, it's too dark to work in this cave."

No one knows what kind of magic Tang Qiqi used, but several large black boxes appeared around them, emitting dazzling light, instantly making the surroundings as bright as day!

Qingfeng asked in astonishment, "How did you do that? How did so many more suns appear? Won't they dry up the world again? What kind of magic did you use?"

Tang Qiqi was both amused and exasperated: "It's just lighting, can you stop making such a big deal out of it? You're telling a story about Hou Yi shooting down the sun!"
