The old man also raised his head to look at Bai Yao, and was stunned for a moment.

"Are you that little woman?"

Lao Ma asked blankly.

Isn't this one of his former customers, the young lady who hired his carriage for a day and a night?

They were traveling from Muli Town to Sansha Town. The young lady was still pregnant at the time and said she was going to Sansha Town to find a husband.

He could remember this couple forever because her husband killed the bandits in the bandit village. It didn't take long for the government to take down the bandit village and restore peace to Sansha Town.

"How can a little woman talk?"

Li Zheng took his crutch and hit the old horse on the buttocks with the stick. The old horse was not angry, but just happy!
Could it be...could it be that the young couple back then were the current prince and princess?

Ouch!So happy!

When I go back, I need to dedicate that carriage and tell my baby that the prince and princess once sat in this carriage.

"So your name is Lao Ma?"

Bai Yao smiled and said, when she went to the bandit village to rob while pregnant, she didn't expect that this matter would become farther and farther away from her.

"Caomin is right!"

Lao Ma replied.

The villagers looked at each other, this old horse actually knew the princess? ?

But after thinking about it, it’s not surprising anymore. Lao Ma used to be a groom. Since his mother fell ill and needed a lot of money, he reluctantly bought the horse and never raced again.

It's a pity that his old mother still couldn't be saved.

"Can you grow medicinal herbs?"

Bai Yao raised an eyebrow and asked.

"Caomin's father was a barefoot doctor. When he was alive, he would plant some medicinal herbs in the yard, and Caomin would plant some. After his death, I would also make some. But my mother fell ill, so she went horse racing. Half a year ago, she became seriously ill and sold her. Ma, it’s a pity that I still passed away, and I haven’t been out in the village since then.”

Lao Ma lamented that after what happened before, he no longer dared to race.

"I remember that there were many job seekers in the county. Why do they all want to collect herbs and sell them to get a wife?"

After listening to Lao Ma's words, Bai Yao turned to look at another village woman who was having a fierce quarrel with Lao Ma.

The village woman suddenly panicked when she saw her name being called. Ever since she knew that Lao Ma knew the princess, her whole head shrank, and it seemed that she couldn't see me, couldn't see me.

"King...king...king..."

The village woman suddenly became speechless.

"You say"

Bai Yao holds her forehead a little. She doesn't look terrible, right?How can you learn to bark like a dog?
Village Woman: It’s not that you look scary, it’s the tiger next to you that is scary.

When Li Zheng saw Bai Yao's roll call, he straightened his back and twisted his buttocks.

"Back to the princess, it's not that the common people don't want to work, it's just that they can't sign up at all. As soon as workers were recruited, people in the county went crazy. Our village is far away from the county. When we arrived, it was full. We tried several times and it was full. I have no choice but to wait and dig up the herbs."

Li Zheng replied.

It turns out there was nothing wrong with it, it was because demand exceeded supply!
The benefits provided are really great. Whenever the government recruits workers, the workers will be treated well. Children at home can study for free for three years!

Compulsory education for ordinary children is only one year, while children from working-class families can study for free for three years.

Bai Yao thought for a moment. Seeing that Bai Yao didn't speak, the village chief hurriedly stepped forward to make his presence felt.

"If the princess doesn't mind the poor condition of our village, would you like to come to my house for a drink of water?"

"Very good"

Bai Yao replied to the village chief.

This village is a place called Qingxi Village in Sansha Town, a small distance from Yandi.Bai Yao was thinking along the way. As Li Zheng said, recruitment is usually done in the county, and some villages far away from the county can hardly recruit.

As time goes by, the gap between the rich and the poor will gradually become wider and wider. She has always felt that there is a shortage of people, but she has forgotten that many villages have a large number of people.

Especially after her farm tools are distributed, the farming speed will become faster and the people's work will become easier. The relaxed villagers will want to find more jobs.

But there are only so many types of work, so we can only develop new channels.

I slowly got an idea in my mind.

Along the way, Bai Yao was taken into Qingxi Village. The villagers still didn't dare to get too close to her, just because Ali was around.

Along the way, some people from the village saw Li Zheng and the village chief and wanted to say hello, but when they saw the big tiger, they ran away. The children ran back to tell the adults that a big tiger had appeared in the village.

Naturally, Ali also saw these little brats that she could eat one by one, glanced at them slightly, and continued to follow Bai Yao proudly.

It is said that the big tiger was brought back by Li Zheng.

When she arrived at the village chief's house, well... it was indeed quite poor, but it was better than the dilapidated thatched hut when she first came here.

After the village chief said a few words to his wife, the wife entered the kitchen with her daughters-in-law, looking enlightened and happy.

Bai Yao was quickly brought in a glass of water with sugar.

In the village, being able to drink sugar water is the highest courtesy.

Bai Yao didn't mind drinking it either.

"Borrow the village chief's table for use"

Bai Yao said.

Naturally, the village chief did not dare to say anything and quickly wiped the table and stools clean and gave them to Bai Yao.

Bai Yao took out a piece of paper and pen from the shoulder bag she carried with her and started writing.

It didn't take long to write it.

"Xuan Yi, send the letter to Mr. Li"

Xuan Yi suddenly came out of the darkness, startling the village chief and his family, but he just held his little heart to comfort him.

She is indeed a princess, and she actually has the secret guard from the storybook!

After Xuan Yi took the letter, he disappeared again.

After thinking about it all the way, Bai Yao has already got some ideas. The village's economy must also be improved. The poverty of the village is due to too single production.

The farmers are dedicated to growing the staple food, and after growing the staple food, they naturally have some free time.

Therefore, Bai Yao wants to make use of the people's leisure time. When people are free, there will be more things to do.

What was given to Li Zhiyan was to encourage farmers to actively open up wasteland. The land cleared for wasteland would be tax-free for two years, and grain seeds would be distributed free of charge. During the autumn harvest, the government would only collect half of the grain. Most importantly, the government would reward one tael of silver for every acre of wasteland opened up!
And it’s only three months.

In fact, this plan has been in place for a long time, but the publicity was not in place and farmers were not active.

Li Zhiyan burst into tears after receiving the letter!Prodigal!What a waste!But we still issued the announcement honestly and asked the county magistrates to implement it in every village.

The purpose of opening up wasteland is to allow people to plant more crops. There are so many wastelands in Nanzhou and they are full of weeds. With this policy, farmers will be much more active.

"Village chief, take me to see your village."

Bai Yao said.

"Okay! Princess, please!"

The village chief was very happy when he heard that Bai Yao wanted to see their village. If their village could be reused like the three villages of Haifeng Village, Anbian Village, and Haixia Village, he saw that his ancestor's face would also be bright.

When Bai Yao left the village chief's house, he was startled when he saw the villagers standing outside the door.
