chapter 426
Also agreeing with Ji Qingyue's approach, she stretched out her hand to pull the two children to her side, patted her chest to assure her.

"Thank you, Uncle and Aunt in the lobby."

Ji Qingyue bowed to thank her, but Ji Deng quickly said no.

After sending Ji Qingyue away, Ji Deng asked Ji Minglan and Ji Minghua to take care of the two siblings.

"You don't want to watch the excitement. The official lady has a bad temper. If you make people angry, we won't be able to protect you. Your task these days is to take good care of Qingning and Yifeng, you know?"

"Got it, mother."

"Understood, auntie."

As soon as Ji Qingyue returned to Ji's house, she saw the county magistrate, Mr. Song and his party, accompanied by Ji Chenyuan, walking towards the warehouse.

She paused slightly, and turned around when she was about to follow, but instead went to look for Han Jiang at the road construction below.

A quarter of an hour later.

Ji Qingyue found Han Jiang who was helping to pull mud at the entrance of the village.

"Girl, what's the matter?" Han Jiang walked over quickly, and then asked with concern.

"In a while, my father will probably take those officials to see the grain grown in our family's land. You take all the long-term workers and villagers, and follow them to see, and say that you admire the demeanor of the supervisor."

"Okay, girl."

Han Jiang didn't ask why he obeyed Ji Qingyue's order unconditionally.

After solving this matter, Ji Qingyue turned around and walked quickly to the medicine field, dug up all the ginseng in the field next to the greenhouse, and transferred it to the space.

She is in pain right now, if it wasn't for the sudden attack of Song, she wouldn't have to pull out all the well-grown ginseng.

You must know that although these ginsengs can be stored in the space, they will lose their activity after a long time after they are pulled out, and they can no longer be placed in the ground to continue to grow. At the beginning, she specially used energy points in the space to replace the double growth potion. , so as to make these ginseng older and more medicinal.

Even in the outside world, after one year of growth, it can have three or four years of effect.

Now it was all destroyed, and the growth potion was wasted, which was bought in exchange for hundreds of energy points. She was reluctant to use other things, so she used ginseng.

Thinking about it, I knew how much I had lost, Ji Qingyue was in a bad mood!

Secretly collected all the ginseng, Ji Qingyue was thinking of a way, and planned to make the one surnamed Song pay it back.

"Master Song, this is my family's land, so I planted some vegetables at random, and sweet potatoes were planted in other remote places, and now there are almost all these things in the field." Ji Chenyuan's voice came from a distance.

Ji Qingyue clapped her hands, wiped her hands with a handkerchief, stood up, and waited for the group of people to approach.

"Ji Xiucai doesn't need to be modest. Since Ji Xiucai's family can grow high-yielding rice seeds, they can naturally grow other high-yielding crops. As an official of the imperial court, I naturally have to think about the people. I also hope that Ji Xiucai will not hide his clumsiness." Song Song Zhihe pretended not to understand what Ji Chenyuan said, and brought up the topic of high-yielding grains. He didn't care whether Ji Chenyuan had other high-yielding grains, he just needed to find a way to embarrass him.

"Master Song is worrying too much. I am not humble. If there are good seeds in the family, the villagers will know. After all, we are all country people. We don't know how to eat alone. We like to share. We all rely on land for food. We help each other. Only then can the grain be harvested abundantly.”

If you say that I have other grains, I will say that it is obvious to all.

If you can't find evidence, don't try to slander me.

Ji Chenyuan's words meant so much, and he replied unceremoniously.

Song Zhihe chuckled a few times, he didn't seem to care, but a coldness flashed under his slightly drooping eyes, it could be seen that he was not in a good mood.

"This is Mr. Song? A third-rank general? It's really majestic."

"There is also the county magistrate over there. I saw it when I went to the county last time."

"Hey, look, that man looks like Ji Chenzhen, the fourth son of the eldest family of the Ji family."

There was some commotion in the crowd, talking about Ji Hanyang.

Ji Hanyang obviously heard it too, and a look of displeasure flashed across his face, these unscrupulous people are really talking nonsense!

How could he be from the countryside!

Mr. Song and County Magistrate Xu also heard the discussions of the surrounding villagers.

Country people don't care what kind of gentleman's behavior is. Since there is gossip, they will naturally talk at the top of their voices. It is impossible to let them not hear.

County magistrate Xu said with a smile: "I didn't expect the Song family's son-in-law's appearance to attract so many people's comments, maybe he really looks alike."

The village chief Li Songbo and Ji Deyuan squirmed their mouths behind them, saw Ji Hanyang standing upright in front of him, looking aloof, and lowered their eyelids not to answer.

Of course, they will not reprimand the villagers for talking nonsense.

Both the village head and Ji Deyuan entered the upper room and participated in the rice planting.

Although it hasn't been finalized yet, according to Song Zhihe's intention, they want to take all of them away without any reward, and let the Ji family continue to provide rice seeds for the imperial court next year until they are popularized throughout the country.

This is completely treating Ji Chenyuan's family as servants. All the rice seeds planted in the field were given to the imperial court. There was no reward, no silver reward, and it was necessary to provide no less than [-] catties of rice for the next ten years. Especially to kill people!
It turns out that the discovery of good rice seeds is not only a bad thing, but also exploited?

You must know that Ji's family has fame and reputation, and they are not servants, so why should they be treated like this.

Ji Deyuan was very worried about the coming disaster of Ji's family, and Master Song, who opened his mouth to the lion in his heart, did not like him very much.

The village head, Li Songbo, thought even more. If Ji Chenyuan's family became like this, would the people in their village also ask for the rice seeds they planted to be handed over?

Both of them had something on their minds, so naturally they didn't want to talk to the two officials, as long as they weren't called, they didn't plan to speak.

Both Ji Deyuan and Li Songbo are outsiders, but Song Zhi and Ji Hanyang's father-in-law can't say nothing.

"The world is full of wonders, and there are so many people who look similar, the county magistrate should not join in the fun."

Song Zhihe's voice was flat, but he didn't give County Magistrate Xu any face.

County magistrate Xu seemed unaffected, smiled slightly, and nodded.

"Ji Xiucai, I heard that your family is building a road? It's really amazing. I don't know how much this road will cost." Song Zhihe suddenly changed the subject.

Ji Chenyuan's expression was calm: "Last time, Gu Xiucai built a road for his hometown, and the money he spent was not more than 50 taels. Today, the road built by my family is shorter, and the villagers are eager to help. However, the cost of hiring manpower is not high. Less than 20 taels."

"I don't know what Master Song thinks?" Ji Chenyuan asked back.

Song Zhihe's eyelids twitched: "It only cost so little money?"

"As your lord said, building roads doesn't cost money, but your heart. You pay the craftsmen enough, and you don't treat them poorly in terms of food. It doesn't cost much money to build roads. Your lord Song is sent by the court to supervise officials and care about the people. .”
