Chapter 153: I see punishment, and it’s very torturous [Thank you all for your support, thank you for your monthly votes and recommendation votes, and bow with gratitude!]

After finishing their work, several people were ready to leave so that they could take a stroll around the county. However, before they reached the door, they were stopped by a hurried voice.

"Aunt Jiang!?"

"Are you Aunt Jiang?"

Huang Xian Cheng exclaimed. He was looking for a scribe on official business, but he didn't dare to recognize a familiar figure. Only after seeing clearly the person standing next to her in the Lin family village, did he dare to confirm that he had not admitted his mistake.

Jiang Yan had a good memory, and when she turned around, she saw Huang Xian Cheng. After all, he was the first person he saw in this world who was receiving official salary, and his influence was quite profound.

"A common woman has met the county magistrate."

Jiang Yanzuo bowed and performed a less than standard ceremony.

"No need to be too polite, no need to be too polite. I was in a hurry last time when we met. I still have a lot of things to ask you." Huang Xian Cheng waved his hands. Although he was in a posture, he was more friendly than when we first met.

Many, at least most of the contempt and contempt for Jiang Yan in his eyes have disappeared.

Jiang Yan looked at him doubtfully. She remembered that she and Huang County Cheng didn't seem to have much interaction. They talked about the matter of finding water sources, and there was nothing more to say.

Huangxian Chengcai ignored so much, greeted a few people and walked back to the inner courtyard. He found a table and sat down, and the others had no choice but to follow.

"You guys wait a moment."

After waiting for others to sit down, he left again. There was only a little girl in light clothes pouring tea and water. Jiang Yan felt confused, but Li Zheng roughly guessed what was going on. Just as he was about to speak, Huang Xian Cheng left.

When he returned, he brought back a tall, tall man dressed in rich clothes.

"This is Aunt Jiang, right?"

Following Huang County Cheng's instructions, the county magistrate immediately targeted Jiang Yan. He took a few strides over and looked at the humble peasant woman carefully. He heard that Aunt Jiang was a widow and was struggling to survive with her several sons.

He thought she was an old woman, but she was much younger than he thought.

Jiang Yan felt uncomfortable when he looked at her. She knew that she was very old now, as dark as a rough man. The only advantage was that she was much thinner than when she first came here. At that time, she was even older and uglier than she is now.

Now, after all, my face is red and full of energy, and I feel much younger.

"This is the magistrate of our Lin'an County." He's also my brother-in-law! Huang County Prime Minister's eyes lit up as he introduced Jiang Yan and others.

"I've met the county magistrate."

Jiang Yan followed the others and bowed. Facing the county magistrate's still looking eyes, she did not dodge or dodge. Both Lao Wu and Li Zheng knelt down, and she was the only one holding the short and stocky Lin Feng beside her.

Bowing slightly, the atmosphere became a little subtle for a moment.

Jiang Yan really didn't want to kneel. In her two lifetimes, except for her grandmother and her ancestors on the spiritual throne, she had never knelt before anyone else, including her parents, let alone kowtowed to a stranger. But there were two people beside her.

They all knelt down, she struggled over and over again, ready to compromise the next second.

"No need to be polite. Everyone, please get up and take your seats. The maid will bring you some snacks."

The county magistrate who regained consciousness immediately spoke and called everyone to sit down before Jiang Yan was about to kneel down. He looked excited, his thick eyebrows were flying, and his smile was particularly eager: "Aunt Jiang, I have heard of your reputation several times.

I have some friendship with the Shangguan family, and I have heard about you. You are really a woman, and Aunt Jiang is the best at wine."

Two days ago, a rare and expensive wine suddenly became popular in the Shangguan family. It is said that it is rare to drink it in the palace. If the Shangguan family had not shipped it out from his Lin'an County territory, he would not have been able to get this bottle. What's more important is that

, he was even more shocked when he knew that these grapes were provided by Aunt Jiang, let alone such a big thing as planting late rice.

"Aunt Jiang, have you already planted all the late rice you mentioned before in Linjia Village?"

Jiang Yan turned her head and glanced at Li Zheng, and immediately guessed that they reported the late rice matter, but maybe the county magistrate didn't believe it at first. Because of the wine matter, she felt that she was reliable, so she had a little more trust.

"Your Excellency, this is ridiculous. The wine was made just by chance. It was all luck. As for the late rice, the village has been harvesting in the past few days. It will probably be all planted by the end of the month. The matter of late rice is just speculation. It is still in the experimental stage. Folk woman

No guarantee

It will definitely work, so I plan to plant it in the village for one season first." Jiang Yan smiled modestly and kept the matter of late rice vague. She could guarantee the success of the rice in the village because she could secretly add fertilizer to the fields, but she could not do it in other villages.

no way.

If the county magistrate arranges for other villages to follow suit and plant late rice, it will be fine if it is successful then. I am not afraid that a big pot will come down on her and she will be forced to sit through the bottom of the prison. She has been growing slowly and creeping in slowly. In this

In an era when there were no human rights and high imperial power, she did not want to become a stepping stone for their advancement.

Although the county magistrate is smiling now, he just took a fancy to Wan Dao's achievements, which gave him a higher rank and higher authority. Otherwise, she, the original founder, is a clear scapegoat.

"Aunt Jiang, I feel that the late rice you proposed is very reasonable, and the possibility of planting it successfully is extremely high. Therefore, I plan to let you plant it in several nearby villages with water sources. You, Linjia Village, will take the lead.

And teach them how to plant."

"This matter is not a trivial matter. If it can be accomplished, the drought will no longer be an insurmountable gap for us in Lin'an County, and so many people will not starve to death every year. For the people of Linfang County, this is

But it’s a life-saving thing.”

"So I want to try it this year, do you think it will work?"

Jiang Yan:......

Originally, she was a little stressed with the planting in the village. If several other villages also planted it, she would be so anxious that she would not be able to sleep for several months. She looked at the county magistrate's big harvest-free but smiling big harvest.

Face, there was only one sentence in her mind: I see torture, it is also very tortureable!

She could imagine a new life in which she would be able to rely on her work and be free from prison. If she followed this procedure, her life would definitely become more and more decisive.

She frowned and said in a slightly cautious tone: "Sir, the women of this country cannot decide on this matter. If my own cultivation fails, it doesn't matter. If other villages follow the example of China's planting, if it fails, the women of the village really cannot bear the responsibility. I can only

It can be said that planting in my way has a higher chance of success."

"this……"

The county magistrate's face changed slightly, and he looked at Jiang Yan more deeply. He wanted to see through this person, but he felt more and more incomprehensible. He did have a plan to let Aunt Jiang take the blame if the planting failed, so as to minimize his chances.

Responsibility, I didn’t expect to be seen through at a glance.

"Your Excellency, the County Magistrate, you can think about it first. You can wait until the women of the village are successful in planting this season, and then you can implement it next year." Jiang Yan said softly.
Chapter completed!
