Ancient-Era Farming Stories About Buying Servants and Building a Cozy, Comfortable Life

Any genre is fine. I just want a story where the protagonist can build houses, buy land, and hire servants in ancient times, then live a happy, cozy life as a little landlord.

Looking for a More Realistic Story Set in a Past Era, Nothing Too Exaggerated, With Sensible Characters

Ordinary People Fleeing Famine, No Princes or Nobles, No Overpowered Golden Finger

Looking for books similar to Fleeing Famine: My Whole Family Is Reborn. Instantly emptying out a marquis's estate, an entire city, or the imperial treasury makes the characters seem so stupid.

Ideally, the family escapes the famine on their own. 2. There can be awful relatives, as long as they're out of the picture early. No meekly putting up with everything or suffering in silence.
