Chapter 93: The county order comes to the door

Xie Nanying's eyes flashed slightly, and she regretted that she had impulsively promised to give the silver just now.

If it weren't for the face of Mrs. Xiucai, she would definitely have to pay the bill.

She reluctantly took out three silver tickets of ten taels from her purse and reluctantly handed them to Ye Sangwan.

Ye Sangwan stretched out his hand to take it, but Xie Nanying was unwilling to let go, the two of them tugged at each other for a long time, and Ye Sangwan issued a "Huh? After a nasal sound, he had to reluctantly let go of his hand.

Originally, Xie Nanying also wanted to find fault with Ye Sangwan at the funeral, but she didn't expect that Ye Sangwan couldn't do anything, and Xie Nanying had no way to start.

Three days after the suspension of the spirit, Ye Wenzhu was buried in a beautiful manner.

Zhao also came over on the day after the burial, and she looked blankly at the white ribbons in the room, "What about the old man?" ”

Ye Moyan said with a crying voice: "Mother, my father has passed away!" ”

"How did you die? He was fine before......" Her expression was grim, the fragments of that day's memory were slowly spliced together, and her eyes erupted: "What about the second rebel?" ”

Ye Dasheng's daughter next to her cried and complained: "Grandmother, dad killed grandpa and took his younger brother away!" ”

"What?"

This news was like a blow to the head, and Zhao just woke up, and he was stimulated to faint.

On that day, Ye Dasheng went to the town with his son, originally just wanted to use it to threaten Ye Wenzhu and the Zhao family to take money, but who knows, it has been several days, and there is no news at home.

Three-year-old children eat and drink Lazar are handled by adults, when Lu Liuer was still in the past, the children were brought by Lu Liuer, and later Lu Liuer died, and the child naturally took his turn as a grandmother.

Ye Dasheng saw that the silver in his hand was getting less and less, and his son shouted that he was hungry three times a day, and then he got the news from nowhere that he could get ten taels of silver by selling a child!

Ye Dasheng didn't think about it, and sold his son for money without hesitation.

He swept the silver in his hand and walked into the gambling house full of spirit......

Two days after Ye Wenzhu's burial.

Lin Manzhi, the county magistrate of Pei County, suddenly visited under the leadership of Yang Zhutou and others.

"My lord is the county magistrate of Pei County, Lin Manzhi, the county magistrate, and I am Yang Zhutou of the Yishan Town Affairs Division, and someone came today to report that your Yun family and Ye family in Banyuepo Village do not pay taxes, and I am here to investigate."

Yang Zhutou held a token to prove his identity, and in front of him was Lin Manzhi in a dark green official uniform.

The porter hurriedly introduced this group of people into the front hall, and someone sent a message to Ye Sangwan, who was making up for sleep, as for Yun Heng, after he finished collecting the sweet potatoes, he seemed to take people back to the town directly.

Lin Manzhi just drank a bowl of flower tea hotly, Ye Sangwan dressed up decently, and bowed slightly to Lin Manzhi with Taoliang who was neither humble nor arrogant, "The folk girl has seen the county commander, but I don't know if the county magistrate is coming, and I hope the lord will not be surprised." ”

These words were obviously apologetic words, but Ye Sangwan said it as if he was doing a routine.

Lin Manzhi has heard a lot of Ye Sangwan's deeds, from assisting in the arrest of fake officials, to three meals a day in his own house, and then to this autumn harvest, it is not difficult to see that this is a bold and smart girl.

At present, she is a girl who has not yet reached the end of her life, and she is so calm and calm in the face of one of her parents, which can be seen to be more attractive than he imagined.

He put down the tea bowl in his hand and let out a soft sound, "I heard that Miss Ye instigated the village chief of Banyuepo Village to lead the villagers to plant in autumn together, and it was very successful, I don't know if there is such a thing?" ”

"It is true."

"One acre of land has nearly 300 stone of grain, but is there such a thing?"

Ye Sangwan said noncommittally: "My lord, it's only nearly 300 stones, but in fact, only one of the acres of fertilizer land produces 300 stones. ”

"Adults have eaten, I used this to make a sweet potato, didn't you say it tasted very good?" Ye Sangwan suddenly mentioned this, and Yang Zhutou was a little surprised.

Ye Sang said to the servant at the door: "Go and get a basket of sweet potatoes." ”

Lin Manzhi seemed to be recalling, and said after a long time: "Yes, this official has indeed eaten." It is fragrant and delicious, and my wife and daughter also love to eat it. The little girl, in particular, complained for several days. ”

The corners of Lin Manzhi's mouth rose when he talked about his wife and daughter, and he said that the man who loves his family is a good person, coupled with the temptation just now, Ye Sangwan was sure that this county magistrate was not going to find fault.

The little guy quickly took the sweet potato, and Lin Manzhi didn't dislike the sweet potato pickled with mud, as soon as the little guy brought it up, he picked up a stick and observed.

"It's really like its name, red skin, potatoes growing in the ground, sweet potatoes are a good name!" Lin Manzhi couldn't help but boast: "In addition to the practice of pulling silk, is there any other way to eat this thing?" Is it the ration, the same as rice? Boil? ”

"There are many ways to make sweet potatoes, and the simplest and most direct way is to boil them in water, or steam them in water, which tastes sweet and glutinous. In addition, you can also make sweet potato soup, sweet potato cakes, dried sweet potatoes, sweet potato flour and so on......"

Lin Manzhi nodded approvingly: "This sounds really good!" ”

As he spoke, he suddenly said, "Can I go to Yudai Mountain, and take a look at the mountains you have cleared?" ”

Ye Sangwan's eyes moved slightly, Yudai Mountain was still using extremely fast growing fertilizers to grow food, Lin Manzhi suddenly mentioned that he must have come prepared.

She was silent for a long time, and finally said, "Yes, my lord, please come with the people's daughter." It's just that the mountain road is not easy to walk, so please be careful with your feet. ”

After speaking, with Taoliang's other two small servants, Taoliang also thoughtfully carried a small hoe and a basket.

The arrival of Ye Sangwan and others undoubtedly frightened everyone who was working.

The people who came to work on Yudai Mountain had signed a confidentiality agreement, and at this time, the official messenger came to the door, and it must have been passed on to the fast-growing fertilizer.

At this time, they frequently stopped what they were doing, not knowing whether to continue.

Ye Sangwan saw everyone's discomfort, and hurriedly said: "Don't panic, everyone, come!" This is the prefectural magistrate, he is just a routine inspection, you will be busy after seeing the ceremony! ”

Lin Manzhi nodded his chin slightly, and said in his heart: This girl is really sharp-toothed, obviously Yang Zhutou said that she came to investigate whether the autumn seed was tax-paying, but this girl said that it was a routine inspection.

He wasn't angry, after all, the boss really didn't order this autumn harvest to be levied.

The villagers and their subordinates kowtowed to Lin Manzhi one by one, and at this time, Lin Manzhi skimmed Ye Sangwan with some ulterior motives, as if to say: Look! This is the real courtesy.

Ye Sangwan pretended not to see it, and pointed to the green peanut seedlings in front of him, "The peanuts planted in this field are called peanuts, and peanuts can be processed to obtain peanut oil, which is the same principle as rapeseed oil, and the oil used to make vegetables for adults is this peanut oil." ”

"It's the first time I've heard of this peanut, can I show it to my official?"

Ye Sangwan pointed to the bundles of neatly stacked peanuts piled on the ground, "My lord, please!" ”

Lin Manzhi raised his hand and rolled up the sleeves on his wrists, "Miss Ye, you look at the black soil in this wasteland, it can be seen that this is not a wasteland, but a fertile land, right?" What's the argument here? ”

"There are many ways to fertilize the land, such as animal manure, ash from plant burning, and fertilizer from a mixture of various plants...... As long as it takes a little time and effort, there is no land that is not fertile. ”

"Then your land is strangely tight, some people are plowing, some people are sprinkling seeds, and some people are harvesting, and your land can still be divided into four seasons in a day?"

Lin Manzhi turned left and right, and finally led the conversation to the rapid fertilizer.

The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, Ye Sangwan is not afraid, as long as he has the skill to lie, he is not afraid of being exposed, "It's just a special fertilizer." Adults don't dislike it, the things in the cloth bag on the ground can promote the growth of plants, but the taste is not very good, if adults want to investigate, it is recommended to cover their mouth and nose. ”

Originally, this speedy fertilizer was a colorless and odorless dust-like object, but after Ye Sangwan took out this thing, he specially discussed it with Tuanbao, so that this thing exuded the smell of some kind of excrement and rotten vegetable leaves as a cover, so that Ye Sangwan was also convenient to explain.

It's just that the taste is really good.

With the trend of curiosity, Lin Manzhi led the officials to cover their mouths and noses with strips of cloth, and even touched them, the pungent stench almost made them vomit out their breakfast.

Without waiting for Lin Manzhi to ask, Ye Sangwan explained: "This rapid growth fertilizer is developed with all kinds of dung, leaves, and some medicinal materials mentioned to you by the above-mentioned folk girl, as for the formula, the folk girl still wants to keep it to make money, so it is inconvenient to tell." ”

Hearing that there was feces, the officials, including Lin Manzhi, threw down the rapid fertilizer in their hands in disgust, if there was water here, Ye Sangwan believed that they would definitely have to wash it eight hundred times.

But now that there is no water, they can only hold it with disgust when they think that they have just touched the pickled thing with their hands.

"I also heard that you opened a grain shop on South Street and sold grain to the people at a low price, and now everyone is grateful for the kindness of the parity grain shop. Why are you doing this? ”

Ye Sangwan raised her eyes to meet Lin Manzhi's gaze, her eyes were clear and clean, like the stars dotted on the night sky on an autumn night, bright and clean, but the next moment they became dry and desolate.

"Dare to ask your lords, have you ever been hungry and cold?" Ye Sanwan looked at the confusion in his eyes, and said with a wry smile: "As a woman, I am not treated by my grandmother at home, and I have been hungry since I was a child, and my biggest wish is to be able to eat a full meal."

At the end of the month, an old woman in the village starved herself to death because she saved food rations for her grandchildren!

I don't believe that my lord has never heard the recent rumors, if the water country intends to cut off the rations of our Tianshan country, it is better to ask for others than to ask for oneself now, and if you are diligent, you will not let your stomach suffer.

The folk girl has no big ambitions, and at the same time, she can feed herself and save others from starvation.

If you don't mind, I'll take you to meet my grandfather! ”

Lin Manzhi, as a parent official, naturally hopes that the area under his jurisdiction will have fewer disasters and fewer difficulties, and a girl who has not yet reached the end of her life can use what she has learned to complete her goals and benefit others, which shows that her conduct is correct.

can raise a child with such a heart, it can be seen that his family is not ordinary.

It's just that I heard Yang Zhutou mention it, saying that this girl is really miserable, her mother died early, her father and eldest brother died on the battlefield at the border, and she, as the eldest sister, raised her younger brothers and sisters with her own ability......

Lin Manzhi subconsciously agreed: "Then the official will meet your grandfather!" ”
