The Female Officer Became a Farmer After Getting Reborn

   Chapter 219 220 Rumors

A few days later, when Mrs. Liu was shopping for food, she heard the two women in front of them whispering, "I heard that Mrs. Zhong went to visit Mr. Zhou's house, and she was sent out within a quarter of an hour after entering, the county magistrate. Madam is really big!"

   "Isn't that so! My wife went to visit his house, and she said goodbye after sitting for a while. I heard that the county magistrate's wife was cold and did not have a smile on her face."

   Mrs. Liu took a sip and thought to herself: Your mother, if you have the ability to speak face to face, what is the ability to speak behind your back. So angry that he didn't buy any food, he turned around and went home, wanting to tell Li Yu what he had heard, and then he thought: Don't make Madam mad, tell the master to go.

   Zhou Jia listened to Mrs. Liu's indignant words, and smiled indifferently: "You are right, you don't need to tell your wife these gossips, and besides: your wife is a dignified first-class protector of the country, do you still need to put on airs?"

   "Master is right, does my wife still need to put on airs!" Mrs. Liu smiled happily, "Master, I went shopping."

In the blink of an eye, Li Yu's pregnancy was three months old, and the fetus had already settled down. Zhou Jia took Tu Dianshi and the yamen to the township to check the household registration registration. Mr. Wen and Li Qing followed Zhong Cang to collect medicines on Qinglongzhai Mountain. went.

   It was the season of planting and breeding again. Li Yu went to Zhuangzi outside the city and saw that the foundation of the school opposite Zhuangzi had been laid, and more than a dozen craftsmen were busy on the construction site sweating like rain.

Li Yu went to the corn field. After the seeds were planted, only a few seeds did not survive. After transplanting the corn that had been planted, almost all of the corn had grown. In less than a month, the corn had already begun to joint and grow taller. , The two acres of cornfields look green.

  Li Yu came down from the **** and went to the seedling field. Seeing that the long-term workers had already sorted the seedling field and dug the ditch, the villagers of Houshan Village also came to Li Yu's Zhuangzi, and followed Li Yu to learn about seed selection and seed soaking.

Li Yu taught the villagers what he had figured out, the skills of seed selection and soaking, and the matters to be paid attention to. Li Yu waited for the rice seeds to turn white in Zhuangzi, and separated the wild rice seeds from the domestic rice seeds. After the batch was spread into the seedling field, it was handed over to Yang Wei to drive the carriage back to the city.

Zhou Jia and Tu Dianshi took several yamen servants and spent a few days in the countryside. They counted the population and farmland of each village and town, as well as the undeveloped wasteland. They also explained to the village chiefs of each village and encouraged the villagers to open up wasteland and cultivate the land. , a group of talents returned to the county town from the countryside.

Zhou Jia was arranging in the signing room. This trip to the countryside had counted the number of cultivated fields. After reading the counted population, Tu Dianshi said excitedly, "My lord, I didn't expect so many villagers to come back. They are all planted. I heard that many villagers are using the method taught by my wife to select and soak the seeds, and some plan to plant winter wheat by the end of the year!"

   Zhou Jia said: "All winter wheat is grown! This is a good thing! I hope everyone will buy more grain and eat enough food as soon as possible."

At this time, a little girl walked to the door with a food box, stood at the door and said: "My lord, I am the little girl of Yu's family. My third lady brought cakes to the master, and let me bring them to a few adults to taste. ."

  Tu Dianshi saw that Zhou Jia didn't even raise his head, walked over with a smile, took the cake from the little girl's hand, and said with a smile, "This old man happens to be hungry, please thank your lady on behalf of the old man."

   After the little girl bowed her knees and saluted, she carried the food box to Yu Yan, who was waiting at the door, and whispered, "Miss, Lord Zhou didn't even look at it, it's still the cakes that Tu Dian received."

   Yu Yan said coldly, "I want you to talk more!"

  Li Yu was driving the carriage and just walked to the house next to the county office when he saw Yu Yan next door with a maid, carrying a food box in his hand, and came out of the county office with a gloomy face.

  Yu Yan froze for a while after seeing Li Yu, then stepped forward and saluted: "I have seen Mrs."

  Li Yu smiled lightly and said, "Don't be too polite!" Then she walked towards the door, Yu Yan looked at Li Yu's back and opened her mouth, but still didn't shout.

   In the ward of the county government, Tu Dianshi looked at Zhou Jia with a smirk, picked up a piece of cake and took a bite, "Oh! It's delicious! Lord Zhou, don't you come here!"

   Zhou Jia glanced at Tu Dian Shi lightly, and threatened: "If you laugh again, go home and open fire!"

Tu Dianshi held a plate and covered his mouth, and said, "Don't laugh, I promise not to laugh, sir, you are too cautious! The little girl brought food to Master Yu, and also to me and Mr. Qian. It can only show that other girls are well-bred and polite."

   Zhou Jia rolled her eyes and thought to herself: You have never been entangled, you don't know how powerful it is, some women can't give her a good face, and she has to let her retreat.

   "Do you think it's a courtesy to give food to a foreigner? Old thing, why are you laughing?"

   Tu Dian Shi also followed Zhou Jia's appearance, rolled his eyes and said, "Where am I laughing, am I laughing?"

  The two were gags when Yu Xianwei walked in and saw the cakes in Tu Dianshi's hands, he said with a hearty smile: "My three girls are the best at making cakes, they taste good!"

   Tu Dianshi laughed and said, "This old man is eating just fine. Master Zhou doesn't like sweets, so it's cheap, old man."

"As long as you like it, Master Zhou is young and doesn't like sweet and greasy things." Yu Xianwei took a post and put it on Zhou Jia's table. The post asked us to go to his house for a banquet, and I heard that he also invited several singers from Qingzhou to sing!"

  Tu Dianshi looked at Yu Xianwei: "Xu Jinlong? The one in the deserted house behind the alley?"

"Yes!" Yu Xianwei nodded. After reading the post, Tu Dianshi smiled and said, "This old boy will put gold on his face, return poetry and songs, and sing songs to the moon! We were studying in a private school back then. He dozed off as soon as he was in class, and his hands were beaten into pig claws by his husband. Later, the bandits in Qinglong Village became more and more violent, and his family moved away! It seems that our Qingchuan has become better. It's very fast! Even the Xu family is back!"

   Yu Xianwei saw that Zhou Jia was still busy sorting out the files, and said to Zhou Jia with a smile: "Sir, it's up to you if you're going or not! The manager of the Xu family is still waiting outside for a reply!"

   Zhou Jia put down the file, waved his hand and said, "Lao Yu, go with Mr. Tu! My wife should come back from Zhuangzi today. Look at me, I'm still dirty, I have to go home and wash."

Yu Xianwei pulled Zhou Jia, "Sir! This is not good! People mainly want to invite you to go, just me and Mr. Tu, what's the matter? Besides! In the past few years, the farmers' taxes have disappeared. Taxes have to depend on these merchants!"

The envoy Tu looked at Yu Xianwei's embarrassed appearance, fearing that the two of them would have a quarrel in their hearts, and persuaded Zhou Jia to say: "Sir, Xu Jinlong is quite refreshing, aren't you worried that the money for building the county school is not enough? We are at the banquet. Just mobilize these people to donate some money to build the county school!"

   Yu Xianwei also echoed: "Yes! Yes! These people have money, and we are running a county school for the sake of the whole Qingchuan County."
