It wasn't until she walked along the village path and saw the tall women working in the fields that she realized what was happening.
"Holy crap, could this be the matriarchal world I experienced before? Have I traveled back in time?"
She saw women busy in the fields, and a pot-bellied man carrying clothes to the river to wash them.
This instantly reminded her of the matriarchal world she had experienced.
Right, but the timelines we traveled through were different.
"The time is different?" Fang Yuan thought about it carefully, and it seemed to make sense.
It seems she didn't see the pregnant fruit or the stone house in the valley where she was before.
"Did I travel back in time a long time ago? Or a long time in the future?"
[It must have been before, but not long ago]
"I see!"
Fang Yuan nodded knowingly, then looked around at the villagers.
Indeed, there seem to be very few people in this mountain village now.
Fortunately, the route in and out remained unchanged, making Fang Yuan feel that the time difference wasn't too far off.
Only after going outside did they realize that there was a difference of over a hundred years.
At this time, the Qing Kingdom had not yet appeared; various forces were currently engaged in chaotic battles!
"You didn't send me here to make me the founding emperor of the Qing Kingdom, did you?" Fang Yuan asked the system tentatively.
[Don't overthink it, host. You got here via a portal, not to stay here permanently!]
"Fine! You said it yourself."
Since the system didn't specify any requirements, she decided to do nothing.
She came here to find someone to make fur coats and melt down gold for jewelry, not to become a king or a tyrant.
She's already been an empress, so she's really not interested in that anymore.
Fang Yuan had traveled from the town to the county seat, but still couldn't find a suitable craftsman or artisan.
Helpless, she could only continue towards the prefectural city.
Fortunately, there is a shop in the city that serves very good food, but it is located in a rather remote area.
If she hadn't had the ability to hear it, she would have missed it.
She went to the shop and, after confirming the shop's situation, took out some of the lower-quality furs for the shop to process.
After all, she had obtained many furs in the ancient world, so if this shop was unreliable, she wouldn't mind losing these inferior furs.
However, if she gets scammed, the compensation she'll have to pay in the future will be substantial.
Fortunately, the shop was fairly honest; after Fang Yuan left, they did take good care of her.
However, when the shop manager discovered that her fur was much larger than usual, he found it too strange and couldn't help but report it to the owner.
As luck would have it, this family also shares the surname Fang.
However, the head of the Fang family was injured in his early years and now only has one child, a son named Fang Ruozhu.
Fang Ruozhu is twenty years old this year. Since he is an only child, he plans to find a wife to move in with him.
He had already taken over his family business three years ago.
He looked at these huge pelts, turning them over and over for a long time:
"Are these all real animal hides? How can they be so big?"
Are there animals this big in the world?
"Yes, young master, I have checked it, and it is indeed a complete pelt. This animal is one or two times larger than those in the mountains," the steward replied respectfully.
Fang Ruozhu was shocked for a long time, then instructed: "Make sure to do it properly first. When that person comes to pick it up, be sure to leave the person behind and notify me."
He wanted to see who this person really was.
Where did these animals come from?
He was very curious.
Fang Yuan was unaware that her fur had attracted attention, and she was now wandering around the city.
Then they planned to make a fortune during the war.
She checked into an inn and asked the system, "System, do you still have the cheat codes I retrieved in this world?"
[It's already been recycled!]
It cannot say that the item is still there, lest the host misbehave.
After all, there are other worlds out there, so I dare not ask for that.
Fang Yuan understood: "Luckily, I kept some Crystal Pregnancy Fruits and Golden Pregnancy Fruits for myself!"
She didn't actually have any particular ideas at first.
But since I've come into this world, I'll still have a man give birth to my child.
She could easily find several men to have children for her and then bring the children back to the modern world.
Painless childbirth is so great!
The key is that the children can be taken care of by the men here, while she continues to travel around freely. It's like killing several birds with one stone!
However, since her body is that of a normal woman, she asked the system if the original Pregnancy Tree was still there.
Fortunately, she always leaves some local specialties behind before traveling to each world.
Her space also contains crystal and golden fruits.
However, if she eats the Crystal Pregnancy Fruit, she will make men bear children in the future.
If such a thing happened in the modern world, it would be quite embarrassing.
She pondered for a long time while looking at the two kinds of pregnant fruits in front of her, and finally withdrew them from her spatial storage.
Let's talk about this later, there's still a long way to go!
That evening, she took a stroll around the provincial capital, specifically targeting wealthy families to collect her money.
After collecting the items, she realized that she seemed to have found a way to change the chaotic situation.
She could take away the wealth of all those who held military power and their capable subordinates.
In this way, they naturally couldn't afford to support an army.
He could also take the opportunity to win over some people to protect him.
So, Fang Yuan left the city and began to wander around.
She specifically targeted the most chaotic cities, and then dismantled those forces.
And they controlled the power of a prefecture.
She never expected to turn herself into a local tyrant.
But since things had already come to this, she had no choice but to give several important generals loyalty pills so they could help her guard her territory.
She left that place, intending to return to the former capital city to retrieve the custom-made fur she had ordered, and planned to first travel back to the modern world.
Unexpectedly, they ran into Fang Ruozhu, the owner of the fur shop.
"Greetings, madam!"
Fang Ruozhu was in a good mood when she saw Fang Yuan; she was a woman of extraordinary temperament.
She looks to be around twenty years old, but I don't know if she's married.
"Young Master Fang, may I ask what brings you to me?"
Fang Yuan was indeed very curious, but he had only come back to retrieve his own belongings.
Unexpectedly, the employer actually stopped her. The key point is that the employer is a young, unmarried man. What does he want to do?
"I'm just curious, madam, where did you get this animal hide? Why is it more than twice the size I know of?"
He was initially curious about the animal hides, but now he was curious about Fang Yuan himself.
Despite his young age, he gives off a very shrewd and sharp vibe.
"I'm afraid I can't tell you that, but if you like it, I can give you a set."
This young master Fang's appearance perfectly matches her aesthetic standards, and she can be quite generous to people who make her feel good.
"Well... thank you very much, my lady. Since you gave me a gift, how about I treat you to a simple meal?"
Fang Ruozhu was genuinely interested in Fang Yuan and the animal hide, so he set aside his male reserve and offered to treat them to a meal.
Fang Yuan thought for a moment and agreed: "Then I'll have to trouble you, young master."
She really wanted to know what this handsome young man was up to.
When she arrived at his house, she discovered that the Fang family was quite wealthy; she had even taken a sheep from their house when she was in the prefectural city.
Isn't that a little awkward?
Fang Yuan thought for a moment and then secretly put some silver back into his family's storeroom.
She had received far too much money, so she didn't feel any pain in giving it away.
After the meal, Fang Yuan had a better understanding of the family. This young master Fang was an only child with no sisters to support him, which put a lot of pressure on the family business.
No wonder his shop is in such a remote place.
"Miss Fang, since you also share the surname Fang and have no relatives, why don't you stay at my house in the prefectural city for the time being?"
Fang Ruozhu had drunk some wine and become bolder, looking at Fang Yuan with great anticipation.
If I marry her and our children all take the surname Fang, wouldn't that continue the Fang family line?
"Stay at your place?" Fang Yuan looked at the man meaningfully.
As expected of a man who is now in charge, he is incredibly bold.
His first request was for Fang Yuan, an unmarried woman, to stay at his house.
Is this an attempt to make her a live-in wife/mistress?
