Escape from the desert

Chapter 153 I see the punishment, and it is also very copyable [Thank you for your support, thank you for the monthly ticket and recommendation ticket, and bow with gratitude! 】

After finishing the work, a few people were about to leave, so that they could go to the county for a good stroll, but before they reached the door, they were stopped by a hurried voice.

"Aunt Jiang!?"

"Are you Aunt Jiang?"

Huang Xiancheng exclaimed, he was looking for a clerk on business, but he didn't dare to recognize it when he saw a familiar figure, and only after looking at the village of the Lin family beside her, did he dare to confirm that he was not wrong.

Jiang Yan has a good memory. As soon as she turned around, she saw Huang Xiancheng. After all, she was the first person to eat official food that she came to this world to see, and the influence was quite profound.

"The women have seen the county chief."

Jiang Yanzuo gave a non-standard salute.

"You don't need to be too polite, you don't need to be too polite. I was in a hurry last time, and I still have a lot of things to ask you." Huang Xiancheng waved his hand. Many, at least the contempt and contempt for Jiang Yan in their eyes have mostly dissipated.

Jiang Yan looked at him suspiciously. She remembered that she and Huang Xiancheng didn't seem to have anything to do with each other. When it came to the matter of finding the water source, they had all talked about it, and there was nothing to say.

Huang Xiancheng ignored so much, greeted a few people and walked to the inner courtyard again, found a table and sat down, and a few people had to follow.

"You wait a moment."

After waiting for the people to sit down, he left again. Only a light-clothed little girl poured tea and water. Jiang Yan just felt inexplicable, but Li Zheng guessed what was going on. He was about to speak, and Huang Xiancheng went to When he returned, he also brought back a tall, tall man in Chinese clothes.

"This is Aunt Jiang, right?"

Following Huang Xiancheng's instructions, the county magistrate locked Jiang Yan at once. He took a few strides over and carefully looked at this unremarkable peasant woman. He heard that Aunt Jiang was a widow and was struggling to survive with several sons. He thought it was an old woman who looked old, but he was much younger than he thought.

Jiang Yan felt uncomfortable when he looked at her. She knew that she was very old now. She was as dark as a rough man. The only advantage was that she was much thinner than when she first came. Now that he is eating red, his face is full of energy, and he is much younger.

"This is the magistrate of our Lin'an County." Also my brother-in-law!Huang Xiancheng's eyes brightened as he introduced Jiang Yan and the others.

"I have seen the magistrate."

Jiang Yan followed a few people and saluted. Facing the magistrate's gaze, she didn't dodge or hide. Both Lao Wu and Li Zheng knelt down. She was the only one who held Lin Feng, who was short and stout beside him. With a slight bow, the atmosphere became a little subtle for a while.

Jiang Yan really doesn't want to kneel. In her two lifetimes, she has never knelt down except for her grandmother and her spiritual ancestor, including her parents, let alone kneeling and kowtowing to a stranger, but there are two people beside her. Kneeling down, she struggled again and again, ready to compromise, the next second.

"Don't be too polite, everyone, get up and take your seats, and bring some snacks to the maid."

The county magistrate who returned to God immediately opened his mouth and greeted everyone to take their seats before Jiang Yan was about to kneel down. He looked excited, his thick eyebrows were raised, and his smile was extraordinarily eager: "Aunt Jiang, this official has heard your reputation several times. This official has some friendship with the Shangguan family, and I have heard about you, it is really a woman who does not allow men, and Aunt Jiang's wine is absolutely nothing."

Two days ago, the Shangguan family suddenly exploded with a kind of expensive and luxurious wine. It is said that it is rare to drink it in the palace. If the Shangguan family had not been transported from his Lin'an County boundary, he would not be able to get this altar. More importantly, , When he knew that the grapes were provided by Aunt Jiang, he was even more shocked, let alone such a big event as planting late rice.

"Aunt Jiang, the late rice you mentioned earlier, has all been planted in your Linjia Village?"

Jiang Yan glanced at Lizheng, and immediately guessed that they had reported the matter of late rice, but maybe the magistrate didn't believe it at first, because of the wine matter, she felt that she was reliable, so she had a little more trust.

"My lord is wrong, the wine was made just by chance, it's all luck, as for the late rice, the village has been harvesting in autumn these days, and it will probably be all planted at the end of the month. The matter of the late rice is just speculation. I can’t guarantee that it will be successful, so I plan to plant a season first in the village.” Jiang Yan smiled modestly, the matter of late rice was simple and vague, and she could guarantee success for the rice in the village because she could secretly add fertilizer to the fields, but There is nothing she can do in other villages.

If the county magistrate arranges for other villages to follow the planting of late rice, then it will be fine. I am not afraid that it will be pressed down by a big pot, and she will have to sit through the bottom of the prison. Without human rights, in the era of imperial power and high officials, she did not want to be a stepping stone for their promotion.

Don't look at the magistrate's smile now, but she just took a fancy to Wandao's achievements, which made him a higher official and a nobler.

"Aunt Jiang, this official feels that the late rice you proposed is very reasonable, and the possibility of successful planting is very high. Therefore, this official intends to let you also plant several nearby villages with water sources. You, Linjia Village, lead the way. And teach them how to grow."

"This matter is not a trivial matter. If it can be done, the drought will no longer be an unbridgeable gulf for us in Lin'an County, and so many people will not starve to death every year. For the people of Linfang County, this But it can save lives.”

"So this officer wants to try it out this year, do you think it will work?"

Jiang Yan: ...

Originally, it was a little stressful for her to follow planting in the village. If other villages also planted it, she was afraid that she would not be able to sleep for a few months. Face, there is a sentence in her mind: I see punishment, and it is very tortured!
She can imagine a new life in which she can rely on her work and not be imprisoned in the future. If she follows this operation, she will be more and more sentenced in her childhood.

She frowned and said with a slightly cautious tone: "Sir, the women are not the masters of this matter. If I can't do it myself, it doesn't matter. If other villages also follow the cultivation, if it doesn't work, the women can't bear the responsibility. It can be said that planting the way I have has a higher chance of success."

"This……"

The county magistrate's face changed slightly, his eyes looking at Jiang Yan became deeper and deeper. He wanted to see through this person, but he felt that he couldn't understand it more and more. Responsibility, I did not expect to be seen through at a glance.

"The county magistrate can think about it first, and you can wait for the successful planting of the women this season, and then you can implement it next year." Jiang Yan said quietly.
