Chapter 187 The Sisters Go Home
Wu Zhongsu looked at Yang Pei coldly: "Do you think we will indulge the county magistrate Shengping?"

Yang Pei looked at the other party, not knowing how to respond.

Shengping county government is also messed up.The county magistrate Hu has been tied up, and the soldiers are searching the backyard of the county government office. Many officials are sitting on their seats tremblingly, and the master is even limp and leaning on the back of the chair.County Magistrate Hu's crime was much more serious than Yang Pei's. It involved a human life lawsuit, and Zhang Jiuyan, a doctor from the Ministry of Criminal Justice, was in charge of handling the case.

Qijiadu couldn't feel those scenes at all. The children were practicing archery, and Chen Fan and Zhang Ci stood by the field, watching the soldiers put the rice into sacks, each with a weight of [-] catties.

"God is helping these days, every day is sunny, the millet is dried and cleaned, and there is no need to worry about it being damaged when you put it in the bag." Chen Fan said.

Zhang Ci smiled: "The output here is a little higher than that of Yema Mountain. There are eight stones per acre of rice. This is a yield that has never been seen before."

"I hope this batch of rice seeds will grow more high-yielding rice next year, but if the soil quality changes and the cultivation level changes, the yield will definitely be affected." Chen Fan wanted to put the ugly words first.

"This is natural. Soil fertility, irrigation conditions, weeding and pest control all have an impact. They will also explain it when they report." Zhang Ci said.

"Tomorrow, all the rice will be packed. Excluding the tax and the rice for the tenants, we can only give them three or four shi per mu, [-] shi of grain for three thousand mu of land."

"How much do you want to charge for one stone?" Zhang Ci asked her.

"Didn't you say three pennies for a bucket at the time?" Chen Fan's heart was bleeding. High-yielding rice seeds cost only three pennies for a bucket, so ten pennies would not be too much.

Zhang Ci smiled: "We are talking about the gross weight of freshly threshed rice. Now that it has been dried and cleaned, how can it be counted as three pennies? General Yan also said at the time that high-yield rice seeds are very cheap for three pennies." .”

That is, it is possible to sell for a higher price?Chen Fan's eyes brightened.Zhang Ci saw it and smiled.

Liu Huaishan returned to the Liu family that day.As soon as she entered the old lady's yard, she cheered and rushed towards her grandmother: "Grandma, I miss you so much."

The old lady hugged her granddaughter lovingly: "You girl, you shout nicely with bare lips, you don't want to come back after living in Zhoucheng these days?"

"No way, I miss grandma like an arrow every day." She rubbed against the old lady's arms.

The old lady patted her on the back and smiled from ear to ear: "Still lying to me."

The old mother brought tea: "Miss, drink some tea to moisten your throat, are you tired from the carriage ride?"

"Thank you, Mammy." Huai Shan sat up straight and took the teacup.Mammy also smiled lovingly: "This child is really good."

Huaishan drank tea and took out several letters: "This is a letter from my third uncle, third aunt and others to my grandmother."

The old lady took the letter, read it after a while, and handed the letter to Mammy.Mammy took the letter into the back room.

"How are you doing in Zhoucheng these days?" the old lady asked.

"It's pretty good. I've lived here for more than ten days, and I haven't felt uncomfortable even once. I can really live in the city longer." Liu Huaishan said happily.

"Really?" The old lady and the nanny were very surprised.

"It seems that piece of agarwood is really a treasure." The old lady sighed, "Chen girl's gift is too precious. It's just a pity for that child Ruhui. Chen girl gave her a piece of golden nanmu, but I didn't dare to let her keep it. Then, I exchanged some jewelry for her. But in this way, Chen girl's intentions will not be able to be used on her. "

"Golden nanmu? Alas, that's not something we can use." Mammy followed.

"I asked my fourth child to take it to Huaizhen, but I met that girl Huaizhen and was bullied again. I was really mad at me." The old lady was really angry, and the mother hurriedly comforted her.

"Grandmother," Huai Shan straightened her expression, and her address was formal: "I heard that there are many officials and soldiers who have arrived at Qijiadu? Maybe they will check the affairs of Shengping County and Guangyun County?"

The old lady was taken aback for a moment, and said, "Oh, that's terrible. Those officials in Pingzhou are not very good. Although the magistrate of Guangyun County doesn't know how much money is cheated by the people, who knows what's going on behind the scenes. But It will take a long time to investigate these matters? The adults don't know how many days to stay, maybe it's too late." Her tone didn't know whether it was regret or joy.

"Miss is in Gyeongju, have you heard about things here?" Mammy asked.

"The grown-ups have been here for so many days, and the Gyeongju side has already spread the word. If those governors couldn't leave easily, they must have gone to visit a long time ago. Grandma must have heard a lot of things, right?"

The old lady nodded: "Yes, I heard that four villages have been sealed off. It's too scary. Why did they hide it so deep? Also, why did they discover it at this very time?"

Huaishan smiled and said, "How about those people in the government are very powerful."

"If the county magistrate Yang is really found out, what will the girl do, what will the children do." Mammy lamented.

The old lady sighed: "That is their catastrophe."

Women and children ran in one after another, saying hello to each other.Liu Huaishan opened a box and distributed gifts to everyone.

"The fourth girl has lived in Zhoucheng for a few days this time, but she looks paler and fatter." Aunt Xie said.

"Are you still used to living in Zhoucheng? This is the first time you've been so far away from home." Rong asked.

Huaishan nodded with a smile: "Everything is fine, there is nothing uncomfortable, so I gained a little weight."

After hearing this, everyone said yes, yes, yes.

"In the future, I can live in the city for a long time. Apart from taking care of things, I don't have to go to the countryside to hide." Rong was very happy.

The old lady was also very happy: "Your mother will be very happy to see you when she comes back later." The first wife and the second wife happened to be out.

"Are the three uncles and three aunts all right?" asked Rong.

"They are all in good health, and they said they would come here for a while." Huaishan said.

"The fourth girl can get used to going to Zhoucheng this time, and she can take sister Ruhui to play with her in the future." Aunt Xie said.Huaishan complied.

"I don't know how the young master and the others are doing now." Aunt Xie said again.

The old lady glanced at her: "What else can they do? It is a great merit to protect the safety of the house over there and take good care of the adults. I haven't heard of anyone being driven back until now. It should be that they didn't come out. What's the matter?" After hearing this, everyone's faces were filled with relief and worry.

"Sister Ruhui and I will go and have a look tomorrow." Huaishan said.

Aunt Xie smiled happily: "I want to go tomorrow too."

"Is it suitable for you to go?" The old lady glanced at her.Aunt Xie was stunned for a moment, then said weakly: "Is it okay for an aunt to visit my son?"

"I'll go tomorrow too, so that Aunt Xie can go with me. Would you like to bring some more fruits and vegetables?" Rong said.

"Isn't there a lot of grain harvested there? I heard that one mu can harvest eight or nine hundred catties." Aunt Xie said without thinking.

"That kind of high-yield rice must be planted as grain, so how can we eat it in a hurry." Aunt Zhao said.

Aunt Xie took a deep breath: "Why didn't Ms. Chen bring some seedlings to plant in our field, otherwise we could harvest a million catties of grain."

Everyone was a little embarrassed.The old lady grimaced: "Our land is planted with mulberry trees and hemp, don't you know? Doesn't the Liujia cloth shop not need materials?"

Aunt Xie fell silent.

"It's not early today, let's go and rest after eating. Pack up your things and go early tomorrow."

At this time, a woman came to announce: "Old lady, the eldest girl is back."
