Qin Shuyao looked at the terrifying number of booklets on his desk and raised his eyebrows.

About a stick of incense after the time.

Seeing Qin Shuyao turn out of the yamen like a thief, Lin Jinxiu's mouth grew into an "O" shape in surprise: "You can really call Lord Qin out!" ”

"What, you are allowed to recognize my brother and sister-in-law, and I am not allowed to recognize a brother?" Huai Yanqing and the others took two steps back to give Qin Shuyao space to come down from the wall.

Lin Jinxiu saw that Qin Shuyao and Huai Yanqing were indeed of the same age, and the pair of eyes was simply a meeting of fox friends and dog friends: "You two won't know each other before, right?" ”

At this time, Qin Shuyao happened to jump down and stand firm against the wall, and when he heard Lin Jinxiu guessing that the two of them knew, he sighed in his heart.

"I'm a grass farmer, if it weren't for this opportunity, where would I meet the state pastor?" Huai Yanqing asked rhetorically.

"Huh......" Lin Jinxiu squinted her eyes and was suspicious.

"Miss Lin is early." Qin Shuyao looked at Lin Jinxiu with a smile.

"Morning." Lin Jinxiu also greeted him.

Huai Yanqing didn't pay attention to her, but said to Qin Shuyao: "Why don't you come out of the gate, what are you doing over the wall?" ”

Qin Shuyao asked rhetorically: "What, let everyone see openly that the governor of Yongzhou does not work and runs out to desert?" ”

"Since you have come out, you must have the consciousness of coming out." Huai Yanqing teased him, "What kind of private interview, you can come out if you find a reason." ”

"It's better to be cautious, there may be a mole in the government, have you forgotten?" Qin Shuyao reminded him.

This reason is quite convincing, Huai Yanqing rarely did not continue to bar.

Qin Shuyao smiled undeniably, and patted Huai Yanqing's back: "Let's go." ”

Lin Jinxiu hurriedly followed.

"In the field." Huai Yanqing pointed to a large area of farmland on the edge of the county, "The shopkeeper has never seen rice polishing, and I want to go and see it, I thought I would just give you a chance to get close to the people's livelihood, so I called you too." ”

Okay. Qin Shuyao nodded.

If you go to the field, you will also be working.

"Miss Lin, are you resting? Has the store reopened? Qin Shuyao asked.

Lin Jinxiu nodded: "It's reopened, and the work in the store is actually quite easy for me now......"

Qin Shuyao smiled: "Compared to handling the case, it is really easy." ”

"Anyway, no matter what the shopkeeper does, I'm running errands." After Huai Yanqing finished speaking, he glanced at Qin Shuyao silently.

Qin Shuyao showed a smile of "I'm very happy to trap you": "You were originally running the hall, Miss Lin, are you right?" ”

"Uh-huh." Lin Jinxiu responded on the side.

Huai Yanqing looked to the left at Qin Shuyao and then at Lin Jinxiu to the right: "You two are embarrassed, aren't you?" ”

"Yes." Unexpectedly, Qin Shuyao and Lin Jinxiu spoke in unison and responded to Huai Yanqing's words.

Huai Yanqing is autistic, just Lin Jinxiu may not win if he fights, plus a Qin Shuyao, won't he be able to take advantage of his mouth at all?

He's right, he really can't take advantage of it.

As they spoke, the three of them had already walked to the side of the farmland in the county seat.

When Lin Jinxiu arrived on the side, she found out that she had been here, and when Cui Shao was embarrassed about them, she and Ning Er also carried the burden of corn tortillas to sell in the field.

However, at the time, she didn't know what rice was.

It's a bit amazing to look at it now, because this ripe milled rice looks like rice, but it's a dryland crop.

What's even more peculiar is that there are two of each golden spike, and they can't stand up to the waist, which is very special.

Lin Jinxiu squatted on the edge of the field to observe the appearance of this polished rice, and finally had the feeling of crossing over.

It turns out that there are still a lot of things in this world that don't match her understanding!

Qin Shuyao and Huai Yanqing stood aside and looked at Lin Jinxiu's curious baby's appearance, and looked at each other and found it interesting, so they watched her study and study from behind.

"Did you ask how the chicken met her?" Qin Shuyao asked Huai Yanqing secretly.

"She played dumb with me." Huai Yanqing had a headache when he mentioned this matter, and he just asked casually.

Unexpectedly, Lin Jinxiu was very alert, and was discovered directly, not only did not tell him, but also complained that he was the messenger of the chicken, which really made him half angry.

Lin Jinxiu didn't want to say it, and there was no way.

Qin Shuyao patted Huai Yanqing's shoulder and gave him an encouraging look.

While they were chatting, several fellows with hoes came from the fields.

These farmer men saw several young men with extraordinary bearing coming to the edge of the field, and they all felt novel.

"Little girl, what are you squatting here for?" They saw that it was a little girl who was squatting on the ground to study rice polishing.

Lin Jinxiu: "Huh? He looked back at them, pointed to the polished rice, and said, "Just take a look." ”

The smile of those fellow villagers became even stronger, "Little girl, let me tell you, the polished rice in our Celadon County is one of the best in Dayan!" ”

Saying that, the fellow also picked one from the ground and handed it to Lin Jinxiu.

Lin Jinxiu touched the golden tassel in her hand and played with it, a little happy, "This polished rice looks really good!" ”

"You're on the point!" Seeing Lin Jinxiu praising the good growth of polished rice, those fellows were so happy that their faces turned red.

Qin Shuyao heard the joy in their tones, and asked, "Fellow, is this year's harvest very good?" ”

"This year's weather is good, and the harvest is not ordinarily good!" One of the fellows laughed so hard that the folds on his face were all squeezed together.

Another person helped: "Yes, I think this year's harvest can be more than 30% better than previous years, it is an absolute bumper harvest!" ”

"Really? That's congratulations. Qin Shuyao looked at these fellows and felt very relieved in his heart.

If there is a good harvest of polished rice, then more military rations can be obtained.

If the army has enough food, the army will be able to eat enough.

In this way, the battle with Zhou Guo can be fought more easily.

"Looks like you're in a good hurry." After the villagers left, Huai Yanqing teased Qin Shuyao, "If you harvest this rice, you will also make a meritorious service." ”

Qin Shuyao nodded: "It seems that my luck is indeed good." ”

Lin Jinxiu walked over while studying the ear of polished rice, still sighing at the magic of this thing.

Qin Shuyao told her: "You can take out the rice in the ears now and eat it directly." ”

"Really?" Lin Jinxiu's eyes lit up, and she opened the top part of the ear, and sure enough, there were fragrant rice grains inside, which had not been dried yet, and looked crystal clear, round, and cute.

Lin Jinxiu peeled the rice grains out of it and stuffed them into his mouth.

Just like peeling ears of wheat in the countryside and stuffing them into your mouth in your previous life, this polished rice has a slight astringency and freshness unique to plants.

It's really a very good food, no wonder Zhou Guo has been eyeing it.

It's not comparable to the corn you usually eat, so it's no wonder that everyone wants to grab this grain to eat.

The three of them walked on the street for a while, and Qin Shuyao went back to continue working, but he still did not go to the main entrance, but climbed back from the original place over the wall.

Although he has already sat in the position of the state pastor, but sometimes he has a little child's thinking, Lin Jinxiu praised him for his cuteness while holding back a smile.

"Let's go back to work." Huai Yanqing said, "Curiosity is satisfied, right?" ”

Lin Jinxiu nodded: "Satisfied." ”

Sooner or later, she will have to get some polished rice back to cook, and if this rice can be produced, I wonder if the taste of the rice can be compared to Thai fragrant rice.

Saying that, Qin Shuyao turned back from the wall, tidied up his clothes, and walked a few steps in the courtyard before returning to his desk and continuing to work.

After a few days of peace and quiet, Qin Shuyao finished sorting out the information of the group of bandits, and waited to see what kind of clues there were, so that their actions could make greater progress.

Qin Shuyao moved the booklet sent by the grain and grass official a few days ago to his front to read.

Every year's harvest is pretty much the same, but the last time it failed was five years ago, and it seems that the harvest is still very stable.

After so many days, the rice harvest must have been completed, right?

Recently, I have seen the grain and grass officials in the county government come and go very busy, and it seems that they are about to receive this year's harvest summary.

Sure enough, not long after, the grain and grass official knocked on Qin Shuyao's room.

"Enter." Qin Shuyao closed the booklet in his hand.

The grain and grass officer walked in and presented the booklet in his hand, and Qin Shuyao opened it and took a look.

The value of the harvest is not much different from that of previous years.

Qin Shuyao frowned.

Do you remember that when he went to Tanaka a few days ago, he heard from his fellow villagers that there was a bumper harvest, which was about 30% more than before, why did it become about the same number as in previous years in the final record?

He raised his eyes to see the thin middle-aged man with low eyebrows, and asked, "How long have you been an official here?" ”

"It's been three years." The grain and grass official saluted Qin Shuyao.

"Well, I see." Qin Shuyao lowered his head as he spoke.

"What do you mean, sir?" The grain and grass officer was very puzzled when he saw Qin Shuyao asking such a sentence without a head and no brain.

Qin Shuyao closed the booklet in his hand and showed a kind smile: "It's nothing, seeing that your records of grain and grass are so detailed and correct, the grain and grass official in my state has come home with illness, and he is thinking about whether there is anyone who can replace him." ”

When the grain and grass official saw Qin Shuyao say this, golden light appeared in both eyes.

Lord Qin thinks that he can work in the state capital!

"Thank you, sir!" The grain and grass official immediately bowed and made a big salute, "It is the duty of the lower officials to record the grain and grass in the book, and the lower officials will definitely take it seriously!" ”

After saying that, he happily withdrew.

Qin Shuyao looked at the back of this person, opened the booklet in his hand, and then flipped through it.

I went to the field, and no one should know about it except Huai Yanqing and Lin Jinxiu.

Those farmers don't know who he is, and what they say should be the truth.

But there is a problem here with the grain and grass officer.

Qin Shuyao still remembered that when Zhao Kang came back to report on the day he was injured, he said that the bandits said that Shopkeeper Mo only had to do his own thing, and someone would answer him when the time came.

Could it be that the traitor is the person in the government?

Qin Shuyao's eyes were cold, and he looked in the direction where the grain and grass official left.

It seems that this person needs to be investigated.

Military rations are related to the great plans of the imperial court, and not a single sloppy eye can be beaten.

After a whole afternoon of work, and finally in the dead of night, after Qin Shuyao had almost rested for everyone, he held a lantern in his hand and quietly approached the room of the grain and grass officer.

The grain and grass officer had already gone home to rest, and Qin Shuyao would have no problem going in now.

He gently opened the door to the Grain and Grass Officer's room and walked over to his bookcase, which was as messy as his own.

It seems that this grain and grass official has been very busy recently.
