Upon hearing this, the people below began to stir.

"Why weren't we placed in a village?"

"Yes, we must arrange for us to be together."

Lin Yiheng's face immediately darkened.

“Longtan no longer has enough space to accommodate more than two hundred people at the same time, so you will be assigned to different villages. If you are unwilling, you can go back to where you came from. We will not force you in the slightest!”

His words were so powerful and resounding that the villagers of Shidong Village fell silent.

"Does anyone have any objections now?" Lin Yiheng glanced around at everyone, and seeing that no one spoke up, continued, "If there are no objections, those who want to stay, please line up over here."

He pointed to the spot where Pan Qingfeng had registered.

People in the line looked at each other, no one wanting to be the first to step forward. Xiu'e, holding her son's hand, pushed through the crowd and headed straight for the registration desk.

"Xiu'e, you..." The village chief of Shidong Village wanted to call out to her, but he couldn't get the words out.

He thought to himself, am I not even as good as a woman?

“Village chief, thank you so much for taking care of my son and me all these years. I will definitely visit you once things have settled down.”

Xiu'e, holding her son's hand, bowed to him and then handed her household registration to Pan Qingfeng.

Pan Qingfeng took the household registration book and registered her. While waiting, Xiu'e saw a recruitment notice posted on the bulletin board next to her. She had good eyesight and immediately saw what was written on it.

"You've completed your registration. Please wait a moment while we take your new household registration documents. We'll arrange for someone to take you to the village shortly after you're done registering."

"Sir, I saw a recruitment notice posted above. If I finish all the work in the fields, can I go to the county town to find work?" Xiu'e asked cautiously.

Pan Qingfeng couldn't help but glance at her again, "You can read?"

“My husband can read and taught me a little.” Xiu’e said with a sorrowful expression when she spoke of her husband.

"Once the work is finished, there will be no problem finding work in the county town."

Pan Qingfeng looked away. This world is a cannibalistic place; he had experienced so much that he had come to terms with it.

"Thank you very much!"

Xiu'e pulled her son aside.

Next up was a family of six: an elderly couple, a young couple, and their three children. The young man walked with a limp, indicating he was disabled.

After reviewing the information on the household registration, Pan Qingfeng glanced at the young man again.

The old man thought the official disliked his son, so he quickly smiled and said, "Sir, my son was wounded in the leg on the battlefield and retired, but he doesn't miss out on farm work."

"What did you do in the army before?" Pan Qingfeng asked the young man.

The old man was about to answer for his son when Pan Qingfeng glanced at him and said, "Let him answer himself!"

The young man stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said, "I used to be in charge of raising horses in the army."

"Can you read?"

The young man shook his head.

After Pan Qingfeng finished registering, he handed the new household registration book to them and said, "Please wait a moment."

The young man wanted to ask something, but the old man pulled him away, afraid that his son might offend the official if he said something inappropriate.

The registration process proceeded smoothly and was completed in just over an hour.

Finally, the county government dispatched a dozen or so guards, each leading a small team, to head to the various villages under Longtan's jurisdiction.

Before leaving, Lin Yiheng took out a simple loudspeaker again and explained the rules for farming in Longtan.

Finally, he said, "Without the permission of the county government, no one may buy or sell land privately. If you want to buy land, you can submit an application to the county government in advance, and the county government will send someone to verify and measure the land. If the land is left uncultivated for a season, the county government has the right to take back the land allocated to you."

Lin Yinan told him that this was to curb the private buying and selling of land and prevent wealthy households from engaging in land consolidation.

After everyone had left, the old man and his family of six were still standing there. He nervously walked up to Lin Yiheng and bowed, his back almost bent to his knees.

Even with his face scrunched up, he feigned composure and forced a smile, asking, "Sir, which village are we going to?"

Seeing his distress and unease, Lin Yiheng helped him up, patted his shoulder, and said gently, "Don't worry, the place you're going to is the closest, it's the horse farm on the mountain."

"A horse farm?" the old man asked, puzzled. Weren't they here to farm?

"Isn't your son good at raising horses? Our horse farm on the mountain is short of people. We'll give him eight qian of silver a month, and the rest of you will get four hundred wen. If you do well, your monthly salary will increase."

The old man and his family stared wide-eyed and gaped in astonishment. By this calculation, apart from the three children, their family earned nearly two taels of silver per month.

This is something they never dared to dream of before. Are they dreaming?

The young man was the first to come to his senses, and he immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Lin Bianheng.

"Thank you, sir! I will certainly do my job well."

Lin Yiheng glanced helplessly at Pan Qingfeng, blaming him for not explaining things clearly to the other party earlier.

"Get up and get to work."

Before long, Yun Mo led his guards out of the city on horseback and stopped at the city gate, his sharp eyes sweeping over the old man's family standing there.

"It's them?"

"Yes, this man used to raise horses in the army."

Lin Yiheng pointed at the young man as he spoke.

The young man was so frightened by Yun Mo's intimidating gaze that he quickly bowed his head in respect. This man exuded a strong killing intent, even more so than the generals he had followed in battles before.

"Then let's go."

Yun Mo rode forward, while his bodyguards, fearing that his family wouldn't be able to keep up, slowed down and followed at a distance.

That day, Lin Yinan was copying information about potato planting and fertilizer production in the county government office. The information in her space was in simplified Chinese characters, so she had to copy it into traditional Chinese characters.

"It's sprouted! It's sprouted!"

She was engrossed in copying when the clan chief's deafening voice came from outside.

In just one second, the modern document in front of Lin Yinan vanished into thin air.

The chieftain came in carrying a sprouted potato in both hands. "Anan, look! I haven't checked on it for two days, and the potato sprout has grown this long."

A few days ago, the clan leader's cold kept recurring, and he was even unable to get out of bed for a while. Lin Yinan thought he was going to die.

Unexpectedly, when Old Lin returned from the fields, he threatened him that if he closed his eyes now, he would steal all the potatoes from the county government office and eat them.

Thanks to the clan chief's unwavering dedication to protecting potatoes, he finally overcame his illness and recovered quickly.

He was able to get out of bed today and ran to see the potatoes he had been longing for.

The clan chief's sallow, thin face was radiant with energy. Lin Yinan withdrew her gaze and asked, "Have they all sprouted?"

"It's a success!" The clan chief nodded, looking at Lin Yinan with anticipation. "Yinan, can we plant it now?"

"Yes, we can plant them now."

“Perfect timing. I just spoke with Ashu yesterday. Two acres of land that were fertilized last winter have been tilled and prepared. Potatoes are precious, so it depends on which plot you plan to plant them on.”

Lin Yinan was surprised that the clan leader was so thorough in his work, even preparing the land.
