Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable Chapter 1049 - 960: Official of the First Rank 21
Certainly! Here’s the translation based on the provided text:
Although Murong Shuangshuang was careful and secretive when exchanging silver, she was still spotted by so observant individuals. Indeed, soone ca to rob her on the road, but Murong Shuangshuang dealt with them swiftly and rcilessly.
These people are habitual offenders, scouting within the city and then extorting outside. Every ti they strike, they leave no survivors, engaging in deadly business. Thus, Murong Shuangshuang felt no psychological burden for killing them.
This ti, Murong Shuangshuang didn’t just transport silver ho; she also bought many things to bring back ho. Ten bolts of fine cloth for making clothes, a lot of refined rice grains, plenty of cakes and nuts, and coincidentally the sellers offered beef.
Originally, the court had rules that draft cattle couldn’t be slaughtered, but today, this law is rarely adhered to. This cow was just freshly slaughtered. After the governnt officials took several pounds as a bribe, permission to sell was granted.
Murong Shuangshuang passed by right when the sale began, and no one had bought any yet. Murong Shuangshuang imdiately paid to round up her purchase. She bought the whole cow, except for the few pounds that were given to bribe the officials.
A whole cow was placed on the cart to be hauled back to the village. Though accustod to eating at, the villagers still gazed enviously at the beef Murong Shuangshuang brought back; beef, the villagers had never tasted it in their lives and didn’t know what it tasted like.
Despite the craving, no one sched for the beef. Instead, Murong Shuangshuang brought the cow to the place where villagers received their daily at porridge. Right there, she handed over the bones, along with the cow’s head, tail, and entrails, to the few tasked with at preparation.
Murong Shuangshuang instructed them to boil a pot of beef bone stew to satisfy everyone’s craving, while she took the remaining beef ho to prepare dried beef, which can be preserved for a long ti and is especially fragrant when grilled.
This beef feast wasn’t just for the elderly of Yu Family Village. People from the newly joined villages could also partake. These days, the newcors knew that Yu Family Village people ate at every day.
Every day, as they slled the at aroma, these people were already craving heavily, but dared not wishfully expect to taste at themselves. Though missing out on at, they understood why Yu Family Village’s livelihood was better than theirs.
In fact, what Yu Family Village residents most enjoyed was boasting about their good days to outsiders, praising Murong Shuangshuang for being so capable and powerful, leading them to a prosperous life.
Now, even before Murong Shuangshuang t these newcors, she had already established an extrely lofty image in their hearts. Without much effort from Murong Shuangshuang, these people had naturally beco her loyal followers.
Previously, Murong Shuangshuang went to the county to gift the County Magistrate, uncertain whether the villages could truly rge into Yu Family Village, so Yu Family Village didn’t treat them as part of their own.
Now Murong Shuangshuang had returned and confird that these people could join the village. Naturally, they should receive the sa benefits as the villagers, eating at, nourishing themselves, and participating in training.
Murong Shuangshuang hoped more people would join Yu Family Village, as in future chaotic tis, trusted confidants are invaluable. With the inclusion of outsiders, Yu Family Village’s population now exceeds five thousand.
Ancient tis differ from modern days; where elderly and youth quantities are more equal, ancient tis’ high mortality rates ant the number of able-bodied n far exceeded the number of the frail.
Currently, of the over five thousand residents of Yu Family Village, besides the won, children, and elderly, there were over three thousand able-bodied n. These strong n were the main fighting force of Yu Family Village; though still fewer, they’re not insignificant if cultivated as core confidants.
Several large pots were set up together, the beef bone stew was already simring and bubbling, its rich aroma spreading all around. Villagers, inford they could partake, and the newly joined villagers couldn’t help circling around the pots. Especially the newcors, eagerly swallowing, wondering how this at could sll so delicious.
Once they began eating, the original Yu Family Village residents were alright, though they hadn’t tasted beef before, they’d eaten plenty of at recently, enjoying the freshness rather than craving at.
The newcors from several villages within Yu Family Village were different. They initially couldn’t believe they were actually allowed to eat at along with everyone else. Really eating at! Originally, they thought not being part of Yu Family Village ant at most they’d get broth if allowed to join, who knew there’d be at even in the soup.
Noodles cooked in the at soup, in a mont, a bowl was consud, warming the entire body. It was so delicious one almost swallowed their tongue, not because the cooks were extraordinarily skilled, but because it’s at, it’s flavorful.
After the al, all newcors to Yu Family Village no longer harbored outside thoughts; the people genuinely accepted them and offered at. If they weren’t sincere now, they’d be ungrateful. One al gathered hearts previously scattered apart.
Despite the undesirable aspects of people at the ti, like being easily manipulated, ignorant, stubborn, feudal, and favoring n over won, there were also admirable qualities, appreciation, loyalty, and being easily won over.
After the al, it was ti to discuss land cultivation following the villages’ rger. These villages weren’t far from Yu Family Village; otherwise, they wouldn’t have wanted to rge too. The fields were adjacent, and during daily work, nearby villagers would often work together, chat, and beco well acquainted.
Murong Shuangshuang decided to cultivate untouched land between the villages and plant crops. In the first two years, the newly cultivated land had much grass, yield was poor, but taxes were equivalent to regular land, which made villagers fearful of cultivating new land.
With Murong Shuangshuang enjoying tax exemptions, it’s the perfect ti to cultivate the land. By the ti tax collection cos around, the land will be matured and equivalent to regular land. With connected fields, everyone living together, it’s convenient for managent and training.
Building new houses isn’t difficult. Making a batch of earth bricks when ti allows during training, and everyone working together could soon erect the houses.
Murong Shuangshuang considered that the busiest farming tis were only during spring planting and autumn harvesting. Every veteran household in Yu Family Village owns a horse, and when the new villagers provide fodder, the families with carts could transport people for farming.
Most would live together during ordinary tis. Co spring planting and autumn harvesting, training would pause for returning ho to farm. Otherwise, they train in shifts; during winter, all train fully, striving to bolster self-defense before the world descends into total chaos.
This ti in training, it was no longer rely physical training. Murong Shuangshuang planned to have everyone start martial arts practice with her.
Though martial arts required talent, it was relevant only for top masters. If ordinary people are willing to train hard, martial arts are arguably least demanding of talent, for with effort, one can strengthen oneself.
