Dressed as a family of cannon fodder, the villain brother is busy opening up wasteland

Li Yi didn't expect that Wen Xiuyi was actually studying the yield of rice. You must know that regardless of whether there is new food or not, food such as rice and wheat are the top priority for the people, so he listened carefully.

Wen Xiuyi had nothing bad to say to the two children, including the fact that County Magistrate Chen helped him check the yield and find rice seeds.

He knew Lao Chen. What that man wanted most was to be promoted and get rich. He didn't know whether he would get rich or not. Anyway, getting promoted was Lao Chen's lifelong dream, so in front of Li Yi, Wen Xiuyi did not forget to give Magistrate Chen a good word. , after all, these can be transmitted directly to the emperor's ears.

However, Li Yi frowned slightly when he knew that the two of them were checking the output in private, and said: "Uncle Wen, the Agriculture Department has these records. Just tell me and I will ask my father to check for you. Why bother?"

Wen Xiuyi smiled mysteriously: "You are still young, and your father doesn't care about anything. There are some things you don't understand."

How could Li Yi not understand, but he also knew that although some people would falsify, it was not really that exaggerated. Most of the data was accurate, but he could not refute what Wen Xiuyi said. After all, some people did falsify.

If according to what Uncle Wen said, real data is needed to improve the current situation, then you should really check it yourself.

I just didn't expect that County Magistrate Chen, a small magistrate, would have such ability.

What Li Yi didn't know yet was that County Magistrate Chen really gambled all his money for this opportunity to get promoted and make a fortune.

"But Uncle Wen, Yazhou is a place of exile. Can high-yield rice seeds really be found there?" Li Yi was a little unconvinced. After all, Yazhou has been notoriously deserted for hundreds of years, even though there are people there. , but most of them were exiled by the imperial court and settled there. Can these people really grow high-yielding rice?Li Yi didn't believe it.

These words resonated with the father and daughter, and they both curled their lips in tacit agreement.

Now it is a place of exile, but in the future it will be a tourist destination that many people flock to. When holidays come, the air tickets are extremely expensive, so it is not something you can go just if you want to.

Wen Xiuyi couldn't say for sure, so he could only laugh and said: "Yazhou is surrounded by the sea. The climate there is the most suitable for rice growth. I just guessed it. I don't know if I can find it yet."

"It's a coincidence. Li Yi and I were still talking about Ning Guo today. Li Yi has already written to Uncle Li asking him to send people to find them. They are all in that area," Wen Yao said.

Wen Xiuyi didn't react for a moment: "Ning Guo? What is it?"

Wen Yao gestured: lemon.

Wen Xiuyi suddenly realized, and then he remembered that lemon did have another name called Ningguo. He slapped his thigh: "Oh, you should have told me earlier." Prince Fu must be much more efficient than County Magistrate Chen, Wen Xiuyi Yi also wants to find suitable rice seeds before planting early rice next year.

Li Yi tried to ask: "Then, shall I write another flying pigeon biography to my father?"

Wen Xiuyi touched his chin: "It's not impossible."

Li Yi asked Xunfeng to get a pen and paper and started writing. The small words summed up Wen Xiuyi's requirements in a concise and meaningful way, and then he tied it to the pigeon's leg and let it fly.

Wen Xiuyi looked at the dark sky and said, "This pigeon won't get lost at night."

Li Yi: "No, these pigeons have been specially trained and will not get lost whether it is day or night." Otherwise, why would he and his father and his mother force them to bring carrier pigeons with them every time they go out? They are just afraid of finding them. Not their people.

Having solved a major problem, Wen Xiuyi felt a lot relieved, and his anxiety about his son being suddenly discharged from the hospital was relieved a lot.

Early the next morning, Wen Xiuyi couldn't wait to share the good news with Lao Chen.

"What? You don't need me to look for it anymore?" Magistrate Chen was ready to take out the coffin from the bottom of the box, but this person told him that he was no longer needed.

Wen Xiuyi nodded: "Yes, Li Yi has written to the prince. It will definitely be easier for the prince to take action."

County Magistrate Chen said, "Although I don't have to waste money and people, I still feel unhappy."

"By the way, the court's order has come down. Shopkeeper Qiu's village has been exempted from taxes for two years just like Gutong Village. In addition, shopkeeper Qiu has made great achievements in finding seeds. The court has rewarded him with 1000 taels of silver. There are also other properties under shopkeeper Qiu's name. The industrial taxes can be halved, which can be regarded as compensation given to her by the court."

After saying that, County Magistrate Chen showed Wen Xiuyi the order from the court and said with emotion: "It's a pity that Shopkeeper Qiu is a daughter. Otherwise, just finding new grains would be enough for her to enjoy the honor." I will be rich and honorable for the rest of my life." Maybe he would have been given an official position like Wen Xiuyi long ago.

The property tax under his name is halved, and there is no limit on the number of years. To put it bluntly, it is a disguised compensation for Shopkeeper Qiu.

However, County Magistrate Chen is very strange. Although Shopkeeper Qiu is a woman, the head of the Xie family is not. In this case, since Shopkeeper Qiu cannot be given a reward, wouldn't it be the same for the Xie family?As a result, the Xie family didn't even mention it in the text.

It's really weird.

However, Wen Xiuyi knew very well that this must be King Fu's handiwork. Having stayed in the Wen family for a long time, Li Fu naturally knew what kind of person Xie Yushan was. The attitude of the Wen family was even more so. Naturally, it was impossible for him to let such a heinous The benefits fell into the hands of the Xie family.

Wen Xiuyi didn't say it clearly, he just gave it to County Magistrate Chen in a subtle way, and Magistrate Chen understood it instantly.

In fact, he didn't like Xie Yushan either. Just because he was a member of the Xie family, he kept shouting and pretending all day long. He was just a side branch.

Thinking of this, County Magistrate Chen smiled evilly: "Then how do you send this order to Shopkeeper Qiu? How about we send it with gongs and drums? After all, it is a good thing."

Are you saying that only people with similar outlooks can play together?The two hit it off immediately, and County Magistrate Chen immediately asked the county government officials to prepare. He and Wen Xiuyi changed into official uniforms and went to Xie's house with gongs and drums.

Originally, Qiu Rongrong heard that County Magistrate Chen and Wen Xiuyi were here. If Wen Xiuyi was alone, Qiu Rongrong would definitely think that they might come to find her. However, with the addition of Magistrate Chen, Qiu Rongrong was not sure. After all, Xie Yushan and Wen Xiuyi had been together before. The relationship with County Magistrate Chen is also good.

But when someone came to report that the two adults were here to see her, Qiu Rongrong was confused.

Not only her, but Xie Yushan and Mrs. Xie who were dressed up were also confused.

It wasn't until Qiu Rongrong had packed up and came to the living room and saw County Magistrate Chen handing over the court order, silver reward, and tax exemption award to Qiu Rongrong that the mother and son realized that Qiu Rongrong had done such a big job behind their backs. thing.

However, Qiu Rongrong always felt that these rewards were very hot to her hands.

"Uncle Wen, this..." If others don't know, doesn't Wen Xiuyi know?She got this reward at a loss, she is just a scapegoat.
