"Master Chief Registrar, thank you for your help!"
The chief clerk waved his hand and said, "It's just my job. Have you finished counting the homesteads?"
Patriarch Liu was very respectful and handed over a piece of paper.
“It’s all here!”
Leng Zhubu was a little surprised when he took a closer look. The handwriting on the paper was very neat. Could there be any scholars in this village?
However, he did not ask out loud. It is better to have less trouble than more. It is not easy to survive these days, let alone the whole family's support for a scholar. Even if someone passes the examination to become a scholar, without a family background, he will be replaced by someone else when he passes the examination to become a juren.
It is extremely difficult for poor people to change their social status.

Clan leader Liu thoughtfully handed over a bowl of sugar water and said, "Sir, you have worked so hard today!"
Leng Zhubu took the bowl and drank it all in one gulp, then reminded him, "Send someone to come with me to get the official seal. Also, the county magistrate said he'll give you three months to reclaim this wasteland! Although there will be no taxes for three years, this land must be registered and documented!"
Clan leader Liu was very grateful and a little excited, "Thank you for your advice, sir!"
Finally, Tang Youyou followed the army to the yamen. She wanted to ask what was going on in the back mountain.
The only person she could rely on now was Master Li. As for this Chief Clerk Leng, she didn't want to make close friends with him. He was too shrewd. She was a disaster victim now, and she couldn't let him know that she wanted to buy the mountain behind.
