A poor family counterattacks, she is beautiful and sassy on the way to the imperial examination

Such rumors quickly spread throughout Wei County, and many people believed the rumors and ran to the gate of the yamen to question.

Chen Xiancheng, who was pretending to be sick at home, drank a little wine and squinted his eyes slightly, listening to his beloved concubine singing a ditty, looking very leisurely.

The butler came in and approached him to report: "Master, the female county magistrate was forced out by the people to say that she would not collect this year's tax from the village, so she appeased those troublesome people and left.

But now she called several big households in the county to the county government office, as if she was going to ask them to borrow food for emergency. "

Chen Xiancheng showed a mocking smile on his narrow face, and said disdainfully: "The group of old foxes in the county who don't see rabbits and don't scatter eagles will not lend her food until they see the benefits.

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

How could those big households be willing to take out Lao Di to help her, after all, she was still a young girl, and the way she came up with was naive and nonsense. "

When An Chuxia called the big households in the county, she did say that she wanted to borrow grain from them, but she didn't say what she was borrowing grain for.

But even though she didn't say the reason for borrowing the grain, but based on the rumors they heard these days, the big households naturally guessed that An Chuxia was trying to make up for the burned grain tax.

There are seven or eight large households in Wei County with more than a thousand acres of fertile land. An Chuxia sat at the head with a haggard face, looking at the large 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 the harvest of corn they planted on their farm this year at between nine and ten shi.

Calculated according to modern measurement, it should be about [-] to [-] jins 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 usually yields three to four hundred catties per mu when the weather is favorable. This year, the rice on their farms weighs eight or nine hundred catties in modern terms.

It is incomparable to the 1000 catties of hybrid rice produced per mu in the previous life, but it is far more than the weight of rice in this world.

An Chuxia saw Wei County with such a harsh and barren environment, even if she canceled the exorbitant taxes imposed by Chen County Prime Minister after she came, she would still collect the taxes they should pay according to the taxes stipulated by the court.

According to the fact that only one season of crops can be grown here, if she wants 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. At the beginning, ordinary people would not dare to use their own few fields to grow corn that they didn't know how much they could produce.

And calling these big households here today, An Chuxia also wanted to investigate and see if they were all just rich locals who valued gains and losses.

The main purpose 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 common people to see the promotion next year.

An Chuxia watched with deep eyes, and the silent seven or eight big households said unhurriedly: "Oh, I got it!
The big landlords don't want to lend grain to the Yamen, it's because I think this official has underestimated you.

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

"...?!" How could she have the nerve to say such shameless words.

They are unwilling to borrow their food, let alone donate it.

After saying this, the big households became even more silent, and now the female county magistrate didn't want to even look at An Chuxia.

As time passed, the big landlords found all kinds of weird 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. Among them, the youngest one had clear eyes, looking at An Chuxia with a little more inquiring eyes.

An Chuxia drank tea calmly and let them watch. Zuo Wang and An Zixi stood behind her, looking at them coldly.

Looking at An Chuxia was the elder son of the husband and wife of Landlord Xu in Wei County. The old wife of Landlord Xu died of illness five years ago.

In the past few years, the big landlord Xu, who is almost [-] years old, has gradually weakened all year round. He has entrusted many things in the family to him, and this old man is in charge.

"I'm willing to donate all the food, so can I hire you as my husband!"

"puff!"

"…puff!"

There was the sound of people spitting out tea one after another. Luo Ruisheng and Ma Xiang were lucky that they were sitting on one side. If they were sitting opposite each other, they would definitely have sprayed each other in the face.

An Chuxia's calm expression froze on his face. After realizing it, he coughed in embarrassment, and looked at the handsome young man with sword eyebrows and heart eyes with strange eyes.

A person who looks quite normal, but how to say, there is a taste of lack of heart.

An Chuxia cleared her throat, and calmly refused, "Your family's food is too expensive, so let the family eat it slowly!"

He didn't know whether Xu Liangce was really stupid or just pretending to be stupid. Hearing what the pretty county magistrate said, he immediately said, "Don't worry, I will keep enough food for the family this year, and donate the rest to you."

"Puchi!" Luo Ruisheng and Ma Xiang looked at each other, the title of Xu Jiashi's solid eyes is really well-deserved.

As for this thing, if his father was not still alive, his family's thousands of acres of fertile land would have been swallowed up by someone with a heart.

"Hiss! It hurts, it hurts, it hurts! Who! Pinch my ear!"

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

"You said just now that you want to be a little husband-in-law for someone, eh!"

When Xu Liangce heard this sound, his slender body shrank back into the chair, and said tremblingly, "No...no...you heard it wrong."

"Hmph! It's fine if you don't have one, if you let me hear what you just said~"

Du Lengshuang let out a cold snort, and pointed at Xu Liangce the knife that was shining coldly in his hand. The frightened young man hugged his head and shouted softly, "I won't dare again."

"Remember to donate more food to the adults, so that you can feed the mice at home if you have a lot of food."

"Okay, okay" Now don't talk about donating food, even if he donates himself, for the sake of Xiaodaozi, he will nod in agreement.

An Chuxia watched in amazement as Du Lengshuang swept in like the wind, and the young man in the second grade, Zhi Zhi, was submissive, and then floated out like a proud cloud.

The eyeballs almost fell off. It is true that everything in the world falls from one thing to another.

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. It's really satisfying!"

Du Lengshuang never lost against Zhu Tiehua, she smiled contemptuously, turned around and walked towards the place where Ke Yi worked in the yamen.

"Smelly girl, where are you going?!"

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

Fortunately, I politely refused, otherwise, she should be the one facing the scalpel!
