Chapter 44
Lin Qingruo and Li Xiaoyuan brought back farm tools and prepared to plow the field. The two looked at the endless fields, ready to roll up their sleeves and kick their legs to work hard. At this time, the village chief rushed over after hearing the news and lent Li Xiaoyuan and Lin Qingruo a cow.

"Although this plowshare is good, if people push it, it will not be as fast as an ox. I specially brought our ox here to lend you!"

Lin Qingruo thanked again and again, looking at the cow that was a head taller than her.

I am very happy, with it, I will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.

Soon, the two of them realized that they couldn't deal with the cow. They told it to go east, but it went west. The gutter was crooked and horrible.

After a day of tossing, Lin Qingruo and Li Xiaoyuan decided to hire seven or eight farmers to start farming.

"Eight farmers, one farmer is fifty coppers, eight farmers are 400 coppers, it costs us half a month's monthly money in one day, it's really not worth it! Can we stop farming!"

As soon as this remark came out, it was severely warned by Space.

[The initial identity of the host is a farmer, who must farm the land, and can hire someone to become a rich peasant or landlord instead! "

There was no room for Lin Qingruo to show any affection.

In desperation, he took out the copper plate, gritted his teeth, and invited seven or eight farmers.

"Mother is watching here. I'll go to the county town to watch Xiao Yuan teach. After they finish geography, you can check it carefully. If there are no problems, distribute these copper coins to them!"

Lin's mother nodded happily. She used to watch other people's families hire people to work, but now it's her own family's turn.

"Don't worry, I'll show you here!"

Lin Qingruo was drowsy in the school, when Zhao Chunshui appeared in front of Lin Qingruo.

"Doctor Lin, I'll give you a big deal, will you do it?"

Lin Qingruo widened her eyes when she heard this, and was about to make a fortune when a big business came.

"What big business, you came to see me in person?"

"Good thing!" Chun Shui said with joy, and only found out after asking.

The cement house built by Zhao Chunshui's house was favored by the county magistrate, who wanted to talk to Lin Qingruo, but couldn't find him.

After class, Li Xiaoyuan couldn't help being dragged by Lin Qingruo to take care of him.

The county magistrate was surprised that it was a woman who designed the cement house.

"Are you a woman? You designed this house!"

Seeing how surprised the county magistrate was, Lin Qingruo patted her chest proudly.

"Yes, it's me!"

"Doctor Lin, I know from Mr. Zhao that you are a legendary woman. I don't know where the cement that made the cement house is now? If you take me there, I will be grateful!"

"You don't need to be so polite, it's not difficult, you just need to mix cement ash with water to turn it into cement and you can make a cement house!"

Seeing Lin Qingruo's delighted expression, the magistrate felt even more itchy.

"I don't know that there are strange women like Dr. Lin within the scope of my jurisdiction. You are farmers now, and your status is a bit too shabby. Just now, I saw that Mr. Li looked upright and was about to bring her under my command. Effectiveness, what do you think!"

Li Xiaoyuan sat aside and listened to the words of the magistrate, this is not a way to ask Lin Qingruo to build a house, but to make cement.

Lin Qingruo seemed to understand the meaning, and the smile on her face froze instantly.

"Our family has always been stubborn, and he has to make up his own mind for such a big matter!"

Lin Qingruo turned to Li Xiaoyuan more than once!
"I am teaching in a school now, and there is an old mother at home. The children really can't bear to be too far away from home!"

Then he covered his belly with his hands.

Lin Qingruo was taken aback by the commotion.

"My stomach hurts a little, please find a place to show me!"

Then he dragged Lin Qingruo to talk outside.

"The county magistrate obviously wants you to make cement instead of purchasing your cement, and cement is a kind of soil that can be used to make city walls, and it can also be used as military supplies. The county magistrate obviously wants to use cement as a tribute to the superiors. We are humble now, even if we disagree , the county magistrate still has a way to rob, why don't Xian Bao form a fate with the county magistrate, and it will be convenient for everyone in the future!"

Lin Qingruo was dumbfounded when he heard that, he thought the magistrate only wanted to build a concrete house, but he didn't expect that he wanted to pay tribute to his superiors as military supplies!
"I never thought that this kind of cement could be donated for free, nor did I think that I could hide the cement privately, so that others could afford it. Naturally, I would like to give the cement to them, but I never thought that this cement could be used as military supplies. We are ordinary people now, and if we have a relationship with military supplies, we will have a hard time in the future!"

Lin Qingruo was used to living a peaceful and free life, and she didn't want to feel sorry for these illusory things.

"He is the county magistrate with a black hat on his head. We are ordinary people. If you built a concrete house for Zhao Kan in the county, you should have thought that this concrete house would be favored and loved by others!"

"But……"

Zhao Kan saw Lin Qingruo's hesitation and quickly found an opportunity to come out.

"Doctor Lin, you saved the old man's life. I would like to give you a piece of advice. The magistrate is not using these things to do bad things, but has other uses. Everyone knows the uses and benefits of cement houses. If you Forcibly occupying, today is the county magistrate, tomorrow may be the royal family and nobles, we all eat at their feet!"

Then he took out some silver from his pocket.

"If you are reluctant to part with these cements for the sake of money, the old man can help you from time to time."

After finishing speaking, Zhao Kan looked around to make sure there was no one before whispering.

"If you want to survive here, not to mention flattering the magistrate, you must at least make the magistrate feel that you are useful in order to stand out. You two are smart people, so I don't need to say more!"

Lin Qingruo looked at Li Xiaoyuan aggrieved!
"Usually you have the most methods and opinions. Do you really think that we have to donate cement to live?"

Li Xiaoyuan kept silent.

"Are we really desperate now?"

Lin Qingruo's voice was choked with sobs, Li Xiaoyuan couldn't stand it anymore, and replied.

"No matter how powerful you are, you can only be regarded as ordinary people who can make money and live a good life. They are dressed in green robes and covered with black sand. It only takes one sentence to decapitate you and me. In this place far away from the emperor, The power of the magistrate is greater than that of the emperor, and we still have a family!"

With tears in her eyes, Lin Qingruo thought of the innocent and bright smiles of the five children, and her mother who was desperately helping her to take care of the wasteland.

"If I know that there are so many things I can't do in the county, I'd rather live my own life in the village than get involved in the affairs of the county!"

Lin Qingruo felt heartache, the kind of powerless heartache, nothing seemed to be able to replace it.

"Doctor Lin, you should make a decision early!"

"Since this is the case, there is nothing to say, it should benefit the people!"

It was a plan from the heart, such a precious cement cannot be given to him in vain.
