This means that if they fail to pay the land tax and grain tax, they will have to sell their business, which means that the tone that has been relieved after three years of recuperation will be brought up again, and the situation will even be worse than before.

Zhuangtou was also pale, and he tried his best to recall everything from getting the seeds to distributing the seeds.

Mu Yangling wiped his hands with a handkerchief, stood up, and said: "Ask someone to collect the seeds in the field and send them to my mansion before tonight. Which field is the seed from, how big is the field, and who does it belong to? Record everything clearly for me." Mu Yangling regained his senses and stared at Zhuangtou and said, "Restrain the tenants and tell them that as long as it is not their fault, this princess will naturally give them an explanation."

Zhuangtou kowtowed and answered "Yes."

Mu Yangling turned around and left, Lichun hurriedly followed, and the guards of the palace hurriedly asked someone to drive the carriage over. Mu Yangling didn't get on the carriage, but pulled a guard's horse, and said to the leader: "You leave half of the people behind. Help the head of the village to investigate, control the people in the village, and don't let them leak information to the outside world."

Mu Yangling got on his horse and said to Lichun, "Go back in a carriage."

He rushed back with four or five guards, and two guards consciously stayed to protect Li Chun and others.

Lichun had no choice but to tell everyone to leave quickly, but how could the carriage catch up to Mu Yangling?

Mu Yangling hurried to the Juzhou mansion, and went directly to the Fengshou grain store.

Everyone was amazed when they saw the horses galloping fast and retreated from the horse path one after another, and saw a woman galloping towards the head in the spring sunshine like a bright moon shining on the water. When the six horses disappeared quickly, everyone joined in They asked together: "Who is that? What a handsome girl!"

"Are you blind? I didn't see the person's head turned upside down. She's already a married woman. I don't know who is lucky enough to marry such a beautiful woman."

"I know," a rich man walking out with a fan on the side heard everyone's discussion, and said with a smile: "In our Lingnan area, the most blessed person is naturally King Rong."

"Hey," everyone booed him unanimously, and said with a sneer: "Who in Lingnan doesn't know that the king of Rongjun only has the princess in his heart? Just look at the prince's current backyard."

The rich young man shook his fan and said with a smile: "That's why it is said that only the King of Rongjun is blessed, because that is the Princess of Rongjun."

Everyone was shocked, and the rich man laughed loudly and said, "Don't worry, the princess is generous, and I won't blame you."

Most of the people in Juzhou Prefecture recognize Rong Jun Wang and Rong Jun Wang's young son, because the exposure rate of these two people is too high, and they don't have the airs of the prince and the prince's family at all. The prince knew it when he was out shopping, but the princess and the other two young princes, as ordinary people, hadn't seen it very much. They had only seen the carriage of the princess.

The rich son only recognized him because he met the princess once when he was visiting the jewelry store with his mother.

Mu Yangling went straight to Fengshou Grain Shop. It was the last time for planting, so there were not many people who came to buy seeds. Mu Yangling threw the horse to the guards and walked in directly. When I looked up, I saw Mu Yangling, and immediately came out to meet him, "Mother, why are you here?"

Mu Yangling glanced around the shop and said, "Take me to the warehouse where the grain seeds are stored."

Although shopkeeper Chen was puzzled, he quickly took the key and led the way. Mu Yangling paused, turned his head and said to the guards who followed: "Close the shop, close the shop for a day, and take care of all the shop assistants. Anyone who steps out of the store."

Shopkeeper Chen knew something big was going on, so he took Mu Yangling to the warehouse more respectfully.

There are not many upland rice No. 1 seeds in it, so Mu Yangling opened a few bags at will, and there is no problem.

She rubbed the seeds in her hands and pondered, it wasn't a problem with the grain store, she was relieved, it was probably a problem with the village, and the scope was still under control.

Shopkeeper Chen asked nervously, "Ma'am, what happened?"

"There is a problem with the seeds on the farm," Mu Yangling turned back and asked him, "Is there anything unusual about the grain shop recently?"

Shopkeeper Chen thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "There is nothing unusual, what happened to the seeds of the farm?"

"The seeds have been changed." Mu Yangling took down the bags of seeds on top, and shopkeeper Chen turned pale with shock. How could the princess be allowed to do such a thing?

It's just that before the words came out, Mu Yangling had already moved the upper one quickly, and the dust didn't get on her clothes. She opened the lower bag and saw that it was also the No. 1 seed of the top upland rice.

Mu Yangling frowned and asked, "Is last year's account book still in the store?"

"Yes, there is no time to seal it in the future."

The Fengshou Grain Shop in Juzhou is just a branch store. Every once in a while, a copy of these books is sent to the capital, and then a copy is sealed here. Last year's books are supposed to be sealed at the end of the year, but there are still people who owe them. The grain seeds have not been returned, so they are still in the store.

"Find out the ledger, compare it with this year's ledger, and circle those who didn't buy seeds last year but bought them this year."

This was a big project, but shopkeeper Chen didn't dare to complain, so he agreed repeatedly.

Mu Yangling reminded him carefully again, even if the problem is likely to be on the Grange, the grain store should also check it out. After all, the Grange is only his own village, and its influence is limited, but if there is a problem with the grain store , Mu Yangling's face couldn't help but change when he thought of the seeds that went out from her grain shop this year.

Until the afternoon when Qi Haoran came back with two sons in his arms and a bear on his back, Mu Yangling's face was not in a good mood, but seeing him being entangled by three children like this, she couldn't help smiling, and walked directly from his arms He took the two sons over and said, "You are not afraid to drop the little bear."

The little bear nimbly climbed onto his father's neck and shouted, "I won't fall, mother, do you think I'm tall?"

Qi Haoran hugged his legs tightly and led him around the house in a showy manner, which made the little bear scream.

Mu Yangling ignored them and took his two sons to breastfeed.

After happily coaxing his three sons to sleep, Qi Haoran hugged the exhausted Mu Yangling and asked, "What's the matter?" He reached out and rubbed her frowning brows.

Mu Yangling told him about the farm, frowned and said, "Who has the guts to play tricks on our farm?"

"According to what you said, there is no problem with the head of the farm and the tenants, and the warehouse of the grain shop is also fine. Those are the people in the middle who can get access to the grain seeds."

Mu Yangling nodded, "I suspect the same way. Before winter, the head of the village will report the number of seeds needed in their farm to the mansion, and the mansion will report it to the grain store. The grain store will notify the mansion after the seeds are ready. At the beginning of spring, the mansion will let Zhuangtou take the list and go directly to the grain shop to get grain seeds.

"They have all checked. I asked Zhuangtou and shopkeeper Chen. Because there are a lot of seeds, both of them were present. Every bag of grain seeds was opened for inspection, and the deposit was handed over after both parties confirmed that it was correct.

"The head of the farm took the grain seeds back, weighed them into bags according to the weight reported by the tenants last year, wrote the names of the tenants on the bags, and delivered them directly to the tenants." Mu Yangling said in a deep voice: "The tenants generally only look at whether the seeds are full, whether they are damp, and whether the weight is sufficient, and they don't even think about whether this is No. 1 upland rice. In addition, many people have never planted No. 1 upland rice, and the rice varieties are all similar. I can't find it."
