Such rumors soon spread throughout Wei County, and many people listened to the rumors and ran to the yamen to question.

Chen Xiancheng, who was pretending to be sick at home, squinted slightly while drinking wine, listening to his favorite concubine singing a little song, so he didn't look leisurely.

The chief butler walked in and approached him to report: "Master, the female county magistrate was forced out by the people and said that she would not collect this year's taxes from the village, so the group of Diao people left appeasedly.

However, she has now called several large households in the county to the county office, as if she is ready to ask them to borrow food for emergency relief. ”

Chen Xiancheng's narrow face showed a mocking smile, and he said disdainfully: "The old foxes in the county who don't see rabbits and don't scatter eagles won't lend her food if they don't see benefits."

Besides, it is not enough for one or two households to collect so much tax grain, so it is necessary to empty the grain storage of the large households in the county, and it may be barely enough.

How could those big families be willing to take out the old man to help her, in the end, she is still a young yellow-haired girl, and the way she came up with is both naïve and foolish. ”

An Chuxia did say that he wanted to borrow grain from them, but he didn't say what he was borrowing grain for.

However, even if she didn't say the reason for borrowing grain, the big households naturally made up for the money in early summer to make up for the burned grain tax based on the rumors they had heard for a while.

There are seven or eight large households with more than 1,000 acres of fertile land in Wei County, and An Chuxia sat on the top with a somewhat haggard face, looking at the big households sitting on both sides of the long table.

She had already received a reply from her brother An Jinchen, saying that he and Runsheng had secretly weighed that the corn harvest they had planted on their Zhuangzi this year was between nine and ten stones.

According to modern measurement, it should be about 1,000 catties to 1,200 catties per mu, which is much lower than the yield of modern corn.

However, in ancient times, when grain production was so low, such a harvest was already very good.

In this era, the rice sown in the south generally yielded three or four hundred catties per mu under the condition of good wind and rain, and the rice on their Zhuangzi this year was converted into a modern weight of eight or nine hundred catties.

It can't be compared with the yield of more than 1,000 catties of hybrid rice per mu in the previous life, but it also far exceeds the weight of rice in this world.

An Chuxia saw that the environment was so harsh and barren in Wei County, even if she canceled the harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes added by Chen County after she came, she would collect the taxes they should pay in full accordance with the taxes stipulated by the imperial court.

According to the fact that only one crop can be planted here a year, in order to solve the problem of food and clothing for the people here, she can only transport corn seeds here to see if she can grow high-yield grain.

An Chuxia wanted to try to grow high-yield corn in this place, but at first, ordinary people definitely didn't dare to use their own few fields to grow corn that they didn't know how much corn they could produce.

And today, I called these big households, An Chuxia also wanted to investigate and see if they were just some rich people who paid attention to the gains and losses of interests.

The main thing is to pick out a few big landlords with good character from among them, and plant high-yield corn in their land first, so that it will be much easier for the people to see with their own eyes the promotion next year.

An Chuxia looked at it with deep eyes, and the seven or eight big households who were silent said unhurriedly: "Oh, I know!"

The big landlords are unwilling to lend grain to the yamen, because they think the officials are underestimating you.

Are you waiting for the official to ask if you are willing to donate food to the county government! ”

“……？！” Such shameless words of the tiger and wolf, how could she be embarrassed to say it.

They are not willing to borrow their food, let alone donate it.

As soon as these words came out, the big families were even more silent, and now they didn't even want to take a look at An Chuxia, this female county magistrate.

As time slowly passed, one by one the big landlords found all kinds of strange reasons and left the county government one after another.

In the end, only three of the seven or eight big landlords in Wei County did not leave, and the youngest of them had clear eyes, and looked at An Chuxia with a little more exploration in his eyes.

An Chuxia calmly drank tea and watched from them, Zuo Wang and An Zixi stood behind her, looking at a few people with cold eyes.

Looking at An Chuxia is the old son of the husband and wife of the big landlord in Wei County, and the old wife of the big landlord Xu died of illness five years ago.

In the past few years, the big landlord Xu who is almost 60 years old has gradually weakened his health all the year round, and he has handed over many things to his family, and this old man is in charge.

"I'm willing to donate all the food, so can I hire you as a little minister!"

"Poof!"

“… Burst! ”

Someone squirted tea one after another, Luo Ruisheng and Ma Xiang were glad that the two of them were sitting on one side, if the two of them sat opposite, they would definitely spray each other's faces.

An Chuxia's calm expression stiffened on his face, and after reacting, he coughed embarrassedly, and looked at the sword eyebrows in front of him with strange eyes.

looks like a person who looks quite normal, how to say it, with a lack of heart.

An Chuxia cleared her throat and calmly refused: "Your family's food is too expensive, so it's better to keep your family to eat it slowly!" ”

I don't know if Xu Liangce is really stupid or fake stupid, he heard the beautiful county order say this, and immediately said: "Don't worry, I will keep enough food for my family this year and donate the rest to you." ”

"Poof!" Luo Ruisheng and Ma Xiang glanced at each other, and the title of the Xu family's solid eye was really well deserved.

Just this thing, if it weren't for his Lao Tzu still alive, his family's thousands of acres of fertile land would have to be swallowed up by people with intentions.

"Sizzle! It hurts, it hurts, it hurts! Who! Pinch my ears! ”

Xu Liangce covered his ears and turned his head to see the heroic Du Lengshuang, and his little head shrank slightly.

"Who did you just say you want to be a little husband for, huh!"

Xu Liangce heard this, and his slender body shrank into the chair, and said tremblingly: "No... No... You heard it wrong. ”

"Humph! It's good if I don't, if only I could hear what I just said again~"

Du Lengshuang snorted coldly, flashed the cold light knife in his hand to Xu Liangce, the frightened young man held his head, and shouted in a small voice: "I don't dare anymore." ”

"Remember to donate more food to adults, and feed the rats at home if you have more food."

"Okay, good" Don't talk about donating food now, even if you donate it yourself, for the sake of the little knife's face, he will also nod and agree.

An Chuxia was surprised to see Du Lengshuang roll in like the wind, and the young man in the second middle school was obedient, and floated out like an arrogant cloud.

The beads of his eyes almost fell off, it was really everything in the world, one thing descended from one thing.

As soon as Du Lengshuang walked out, he heard Zhu Tiehua's joking voice: "The little husband who has been chasing his childhood sweetheart for so many years was almost abducted by the county magistrate, which is really happy!" ”

Du Lengshuang didn't lose Zhu Tiehua, I saw her smile contemptuously, turned around and walked towards the place where Ke Yi was doing things in the yamen.

"Stinky girl, where are you going?!"

An Chuxia vaguely heard the conversation between the two outside, and finally knew why Du Lengshuang came to repair it, Xu Liangce, a young man.

Fortunately, I politely refused, or the next one, it should be her who faces the scalpel!
