In the process of Yu Qiuyu bowing her head, the county official has been looking at her, and from the time she put forward her opinion to the process of waiting for the county official's answer, Yu Qiuyu has never raised her head.

Just when Yu Qiuyu's neck was about to be sore, the county magistrate finally slowly opened the golden mouth.

"What Miss Yu said is also very reasonable, the official thinks that it is good, but the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped, Miss Yu, you are merciful, but the official has to act in accordance with the law and discipline."

Yu Qiuyu raised her head in surprise.

How?

The county magistrate is not going to let them go?

Not only Yu Qiuyu raised his head, but even the brothers who had committed crimes and were waiting for trial also raised their heads in surprise.

They looked a little flustered.

When Yu Qiuyu proposed that the death penalty could be avoided, they felt as if they saw hope, and even a little grateful to Yu Qiuyu, and now, they were waiting for the county official to agree.

However, when the county magistrate said this, did he agree or not?

Whether it was inside or outside the public hall, the atmosphere suddenly became tense, and Yu Qiuyu and several villagers were waiting for the county official's answer almost with bated breath.

"These five people, each of them will be punished with eighty rods, and then they will be fined fifty taels of silver, and by the way, according to what Miss Yu said, the rice owed will be repaid in three times, and this matter will be settled."

Fortunately, it didn't take their lives.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief instantly.

Yu Qiuyu waved her hand, bowed to the county official, and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but the folk girl still has a reluctant request?" ”

The county magistrate raised an eyebrow.

He didn't even punish them heavily, he followed Yu Qiuyu's wishes, he was very curious, what else did Yu Qiuyu ask for next?

"Say."

"This matter, the people know, the adults know, and everyone present knows, but don't let the people of the court know about it again, I don't know, can you?"

It means that she wants the county magistrate to suppress this matter.

After all, if they really acted according to the laws of the imperial court, they would be killed, and it would be appropriate to let them go, and it would be appropriate to be merciful.

Yu Qiuyu didn't want to kill them all.

In a moment, the voice of the county magistrate sounded in the court.

"Okay."

The troubles were resolved peacefully, and everyone was happy.

Yu Qiuyu waved his hand again, which can be regarded as thanking the county official for his kindness.

A few of them were taken down by the officials to carry out the eighty boards.

Although it is said that you have to endure some flesh and skin, it is better than losing your life.

Thinking about it, Yu Qiuyu walked out of the court.

"Thank you."

Chai Lu's wife learned that Chai Lu was not executed, and Yu Qiuyu interceded for him in public, and she didn't know what to say for a while, so she could only keep saying thank you.

Those villagers who witnessed all this looked at Yu Qiuyu with a complicated look.

This time, Yu Qiuyu did not rush to kill them all.

This surprised them.

Yu Qiuyu's perception of the external environment has always been relatively keen, so she can easily sense that something is wrong with their gaze.

What they are thinking, according to Yu Qiuyu's intelligence, they can guess a few points.

She thought about it and felt that there were some things she had to say.

"I know that you have been wondering what method I used to make our rice fields increase the yield so drastically, and I also know that some of you think that I have used crooked ways, but in fact, I just used some very normal methods, if you can trust me, I can naturally teach you, but this kind of thing that harms others and yourself, you still don't do it, cause something wrong, it will not benefit anyone."

Yu Qiuyu This is not a threat at all, but a reminder.

They also saw the fate of those people just now, if it weren't for Yu Qiuyu's words to save them, these people would have been beheaded a long time ago.

It's better to do less of this kind of thing that harms others and is not beneficial to oneself.

The villagers who were watching outside the public hall still didn't believe that Yu Qiuyu would be so kind.

They asked, "Is what you said true?" Are you really going to teach us that? ”

Yu Qiuyu raised his eyes and glanced at them, "If you don't believe me, you can get up early tomorrow and wait at my door, I'll pack up and take you up the mountain, how about it." ”

Hearing Yu Qiuyu's sincere approach, several villagers looked at each other, barely believing Yu Qiuyu.

Seeing that their faces were finally colored with belief, Yu Qiuyu breathed a sigh of relief.

Knowing how to increase rice yields means that they can stop for a while and enjoy a period of peace?

Yu Qiuyu thought about it and breathed a sigh of relief silently in her heart.

After getting rid of the entanglement of several villagers, Yu Qiuyu returned to her home, and the first thing she did when she got home was to enter her room, open the quilt, and fall into the quilt and fell asleep.

Last night, Chai Lu's wife came over, disturbing herself that she didn't sleep well, and now that the matter was settled peacefully, she felt that the most important thing she should do was to sleep first, and make up for the sleep she hadn't slept enough last night.

Lying on the bed, Yu Qiuyu felt that he was still light and had nothing to do, and he would go to sleep after the trouble was solved, and sure enough, he slept soundly.

After waking up, Yu Yifan came back for lunch, and when he saw the relaxed expression on Yu Qiuyu's face, he knew that the affairs of those villagers had been properly resolved.

After all, if those villagers were beheaded, Yu Qiuyu's expression would definitely not be so relaxed.

Moreover, when he was dealing with official business, he had never heard the news that Lord He was going to ask the Empress Qiu to behead.

But to be honest, Yu Yifan feels that this girl in his family has never let himself down.

Early the next morning, Yu Qiuyu came out after breakfast, and sure enough, he saw many villagers waiting for him at his doorstep.

"Yu girl." A villager boldly opened his mouth, "You promised us, should you regret it?" ”

Seeing that they were still suspicious of themselves, Yu Qiuyu couldn't help but want to roll her eyes.

"Don't worry, if I dare to lie to you, the first one who won't let me go is my brother."

Yu Yifan's requirements for his younger siblings are very strict, of course, this strictness and severity mainly refers to personal morality, if they dare to deceive others at will, Yu Qiuyu believes that Yu Yifan will definitely serve the family law.

She Yu Qiuyu is cowardly, but she doesn't dare to risk her net worth and life.

When those villagers heard this, they felt that what Yu Qiuyu said seemed to have some truth, so they did not continue to ask.

Because Yu Qiuyu wanted to go up the mountain with these villagers, Yu Qiuyu did not ride his black horse as usual, but carried a small basket on his back and walked up the mountain with them.

The mountains are full of green grass, and the mountain wind blows, swaying and colorful.

From a distance, Yu Qiuyu's rice fields are green.

Looking at the growth, it is particularly gratifying.

Yu Qiuyu carefully explained to them how to maintain the rice fields as he walked.

In fact, the trick to increasing grain production is really simple, and it is nothing more than a few important factors.

The climate, the fertility of the soil, the quality of the soil, and insect pests.

She has been raising the soil for a year to get to where she is today, and she has been careful to prevent insect pests in the process of growing rice, so their rice grows naturally better than anyone else's.

"And, I suggest that you keep crabs in your own rice fields."

As soon as Yu Qiuyu's statement came out, it was doubted by many people.

"Are you sure you can feed crabs in the rice fields?"

They suspect it's normal.

Because in their conceptual consciousness, crabs grow in water, not in soil, so naturally crabs cannot be raised in rice fields.

Yu Qiuyu hooked her lips and smiled.

"Can you feed crabs in the rice fields, don't you know if you look at it?"

She pointed to crabs crawling among the rice fields.

The villagers looked down with surprised expressions on their faces.

These crabs are not only alive, but they are all very large, about the size of a fist, so you can imagine how full the crab meat must be and how delicious the crab roe should be.

No wonder the Yu family can eat delicacies from the mountains and seas every day, it turned out that the Yu family did not spend a lot of money to buy it, but the Yu family cultivated it themselves.

Some villagers did not understand, "Why can the crabs in the rice fields grow so big?" ”

Yu Qiuyu pursed her mouth, considered her language for a while, and said, "You only know that crabs live where there is water, but do you know what crabs feed on?" ”

They shook their heads.

There are so many things in the pond, who knows what the crabs grew up eating?

It is nothing more than that the big fish eat the small fish, the small fish eat the shrimp, and the crabs also eat the small fish and shrimp.

Yu Qiuyu solemnly explained, "To be honest, I found that crabs eat insects. ”

In order to make his statement more convincing, Yu Qiuyu had to tell a lie.

"There are insects on the rice, I don't know how to get this bug, I was thinking, there are bugs in the reeds of the pond, but the number of bugs is not much, which means that there must be natural enemies of insects in the pond, so I use fish, crucian carp, grass carp, silver carp, turtles, shrimps, crabs, these things to study, to see what feeds on this bug, after the same inspection, I found that crucian carp, carp, and crabs actually eat this kind of bug, so I have the mentality of giving it a try, I bought crabs and put them in the field to explore, and sure enough, these crabs feed on these insects, and with enough to eat, can these crabs still grow small? ”

The villagers nodded in realization.

Yu Qiuyu's answer is indeed very convincing.

"So, I suggest that you can raise some crabs and put them in the rice field, so that you can effectively stop the insects in the rice field from eating the rice grains, and these crabs can also grow up, and you can also catch them and open meat for the family, you say, isn't it?"

Yes, yes.

They nodded in agreement, agreeing with Yu Qiuyu's opinion.

After a general explanation of the process, those people went down the mountain full of joy.

Yu Qiuyu looked at their distant backs, half melancholy and half relieved.

Now, they have got what they want, and their rice should be able to grow safely, right?
