When Liu Man'er finished talking with Ye Feng, it happened that the chief also experimented with this threshing machine, and it was determined that there was no problem, so the group planned to go to the county seat to find the magistrate.

Now is the time when the farm is busy, and if this thing can be put into use sooner, it can be put to use sooner rather than later.

Only the Ye family has horses in this village, so Liu Man'er put on the carriage and brought the chief and others on board, as for this threshing machine, the chief of the family's family has an ox cart, and he asked his eldest son Ye Ziyu to pull the threshing machine up slowly in the back.

As a lieutenant chief, Ye Xiutong is also a person who can do things, he first asked his son Ye Ziyu to go to the county seat first, and he asked Liu Man'er to pull him to the town to find the mayor first.

This mayor is a little bigger than the mayor's official, if he doesn't pass by him, I'm afraid the mayor will give him small shoes, if he passes by him, the mayor will be happy at that time, and he will definitely help Dawan Village a lot.

When Ye Xiu went together, the mayor happened to be at home, and he heard the servant at the door say that the mayor of Dawan Village came to look for him, and the mayor was still a little strange, although the mayor was just his subordinate in his eyes, but he still let Ye Xiu and the others come in.

Ye Xiutong was in a hurry, so he didn't say much to the mayor, but just told the mayor that he had something good to do to go to the county seat to find the magistrate, and then pulled the mayor to run.

The mayor of the town, surnamed Zhang, was quite tall, with a slender and long face, with a beard, and looked like he was about fifty or sixty years old, which was also considered to be an old age.

Seeing Ye Xiutong's reckless appearance, Mayor Zhang felt a little inexplicable, he shook Ye Xiutong's hand away, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Old Ye, in the past, you were not so flustered, today, there is no system." ”

Ye Xiutong heard the mayor say this, so he simply explained to the mayor: "The mayor, I think of you as soon as there is a good thing, a scholar in our village invented a threshing bucket, which is very convenient, and now the saint heard that it is vigorously developing the people's livelihood, which is a great merit, so I came to you, thinking that we will go to the county seat together, know the county in front of you, and promote this threshing bucket in the county." ”

"What threshing bucket?" Mayor Zhang still didn't understand, Ye Xiutong said: "Oh, anyway, you get in the car first, and I'll explain to you when you get in the car." ”

Mayor Zhang got into the car in a daze, and when Liu Man'er waved his whip and began to drive the horse, Ye Xiutong introduced Ye Feng to Mayor Zhang, and then said: "Mayor, this is the student who invented the threshing machine." ”

"Hey, you have to tell me what the threshing machine is first, I don't know anything, I'm confused." Mayor Zhang is still a little confused, this Ye Lichang is also really, what are you doing with him to introduce a stinky child to him?

Tonight, the big family said that he would invite him to dinner, and his face became more and more ugly at the thought of the big meal he was about to lose and the benefits he could get at the table.

Ye Xiutong heard Mayor Zhang say this, so he carefully told Mayor Zhang about the usefulness of this threshing machine, and after listening to Ye Xiutong's words, this mayor's face slowly improved: "What kind of threshing bucket are you talking about, is it really so good?" ”

"Of course, I've experimented with it myself, so what's false?" Ye Xiutong patted his chest and assured Mayor Zhang.

"But since it's so good, why didn't you tell me before?" Mayor Zhang was a little dissatisfied with Ye Xiutong's point.

"I also just experimented, no, as soon as it succeeds, I will come to you." Ye Xiutong hurriedly confessed: "This Ye Feng is a sincere child, he never yelled blindly before he succeeded, I asked him how he was, and he only said that he was still thinking about it, and it was not until today that he took it out quietly." ”

"In that case, then I won't blame you." Mayor Zhang stroked his beard, glanced at Ye Feng, and agreed with Ye Xiutong's idea.

"Hey, it's all my fault, it's too sincere, and I don't dare to reveal the news to you before I do ...... good job" Ye Xiutong sighed again.

Mayor Zhang said, "Okay, I don't know about you yet, if you really have such a good threshing bucket, it must be due to you." ”

"It doesn't matter if the credit is made, as long as I can share the worries of the mayor and benefit the villagers, I will be satisfied." Although the chief here is only a minor official, when the chief here talks about this official, it is also slippery.

"Well, you can think like this, the old man is very pleased, and he will definitely say a few more kind words for you in front of the magistrate." When Mayor Zhang heard Ye Xiutong's words, he laughed with satisfaction.

Ye Xiutong also smiled, Ye Feng sat in the carriage and lowered his head, sure enough, what his sister-in-law said was right, it was clear that the chief knew whose credit was for this thing, but he didn't mention his sister-in-law for half a sentence, and he only mentioned two sentences to himself.

Yes, it is enough to be able to benefit the villagers.

Ye Feng thought of the hard work of the villagers, and he didn't feel anything.

Liu Man'er drove the carriage all the way, the speed of the carriage was faster than the ox cart, even if it was a waste of some time to go to the town, but when it was almost to the county seat, Liu Man'er still caught up with the ox cart driven by Ye Ziyu.

Mayor Zhang got down from the carriage and carefully observed the threshing bucket, when he was on the road, Ye Xiutong and Ye Feng had already explained the structure to him, and now when he saw it, he connected the two of them with the real thing.

"Okay, good, let's go to the magistrate first, and ask him to pull the things over." Mayor Zhang commanded.

Ye Ziyu nodded, and Liu Man'er continued to drive the carriage forward.

When you come to the courtyard gate of the county, you have to report it first.

After all, although this magistrate is only a seven-grade sesame official, he is a rare official in this county, so this magistrate will still put some scores, and if you want to find a magistrate, it is really a little troublesome.

Fortunately, this mayor is also a petty official, and he has seen the magistrate before, and after holding his name and stuffing some money, the gatekeeper is also willing to help him report one or two.

When the news reached Xu Zhixian's ears, his brows furrowed slightly, who is Mayor Zhang? "What town did he say he was from?"

"If you go back to adulthood, it's Mayor Zhang of Caoqiao Town." The doorman repeated the words again.

"Oh, Grass Bridge." Xu Zhixian nodded, in fact, he had already forgotten about the mayor of Caoqiao Town.

In this county, he only cares about the things in the county, and he only cares about taxes in this town, and the taxes in Caoqiao Town have always been timely, so it is easiest for him to ignore them, but since this mayor Zhang has come to the door, it is not easy not to see.

"Let him in." Lord Zhixian said.

The doorman went to report.

Ye Feng and the others followed the doorman in, and Liu Man'er, as a woman, was waiting at the door, she didn't want to go in, she remembered that she had offended the town elder's favorite concubine Aunt Hong, if she ran into it, wouldn't it be asking for her own hardship, although she might not recognize herself, but what if she knew?

Of course, the main reason is that she is just a woman, and people don't let her in, otherwise, she still doesn't have to be afraid of this Aunt Hong. Since she wasn't allowed in, she could only comfort herself like this.

Mayor Zhang and they walked through the side door, but this door is also quite atmospheric, along the path in the garden, and then through the corridor, this came to the hall of the county magistrate.

"Zhang Yuanqi, the mayor of Caoqiao Town, Ye Xiutong, the mayor of Dawan Village, and Ye Feng, the child of Tongsheng, have met the magistrate of the county." Ye Feng and the three of them said in unison.

Xu Zhixian felt a little strange when he saw such a combination of three people, what are they doing? Why did you come to yourself together?

"What's the point of waiting here?" Xu Zhixian drank tea slowly and asked them to get up, but he didn't look at the seats.

"That's the case, my lord......" The mayor of the town told the magistrate in detail about this matter.

"What kind of threshing bucket is this really so amazing?"

After listening to Mayor Zhang's tirade, Xu Zhixian slowly put down the cup, glanced at Mayor Zhang, and swept Ye Xiutong and Ye Feng again, and then said, "Since that's the case, I want to see it." ”

"Well, we've brought this threshing bucket, and now he's waiting at the door." Mayor Zhang said.

"Then let him bring things in." Xu Zhixian said.

When the servant came out to report, this Ye Ziyu had just arrived, and Liu Man'er was chatting with him outside, and when he heard the servant's report, he asked him to drive the carriage in.

Ye Ziyu unloaded the threshing bucket in the yard, this Xu Zhixian saw it, and walked out, he glanced up and down at the threshing bucket, and then said, "This is the threshing bucket you are talking about?" ”

"Yes." Ye Xiutong nodded, and then took out some rice from the oxcart noodles and experimented with them as noodles in Xu Zhixian County.

At first glance, Xu Zhixian also felt happy, and nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, you two are indeed good officials who think about the people in a down-to-earth manner. ”

"Thank you for the reward." Mayor Zhang and Ye Xiutong said in unison.

These ten taels of silver are a trivial matter, but being able to enter the eyes of this magistrate is a big thing.

After praising Mayor Zhang and Ye Xiutong, this Xu Zhixian glanced at Ye Feng again: "I heard that you invented this thing?" ”

"It's the grass people, but all of this is taught by you, Lord Zhixian, and it is also the cultivation of Mayor Zhang and Ye Lichang." After Ye Feng finished speaking, he pursed his mouth again.

In fact, these Liu Man'er have practiced with him at home, and these words are also Liu Man'er asked him to say, otherwise he can't say this kind of flattery.

But Ye Feng was young, and he looked upright, and when he said this, he seemed very sincere, which made Zhixian and others feel in a good mood.

"Sure enough, you are a hero from ancient times, and you have a bright future, I heard that you are still a child, where are you studying now?" Xu Zhixian asked again.

"If you go back to the adult, the grass people are studying in the county." Ye Feng replied again.

Now he is just a child, this is nothing, if he is admitted to the student, he can see the county without kneeling, and then he can call himself a student.

"The future is bright." Xu Zhixian repeated this sentence again, and then asked, "You invented this threshing machine today, this is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, what reward do you want?" ”

Ye Feng pursed his lips and shook his head.

"You don't want anything?" Xu Zhixian felt a little strange and said: "You are just a child now, if you have this official as a guarantee, why not send you to become a member." ”
