The Li clan is relatively united!
Even though some people were not happy, they stopped thinking when they thought of what Li Yuan and his wife had done for everyone.
There should be a lot of production in the fields, and they only produce some sweet potatoes.
Compared with what Li Yuan and his wife did for them, it is nothing worth mentioning!
Only when Shao'an and his wife are well, can they, as members of the Li family, follow suit.
Otherwise, who is going to take care of them?
Haven’t you seen that people in other villages are suffering right now?
People who are not happy with thinking this way feel that this is natural when there is a comparison.
Li Yuan did not go to the meeting this time, so she did not know the clan's decision.
When I found out, it was Wang Can who came back and told me.
However, as soon as Wang Can finished speaking, she saw her father and Li Qinghua coming over before she had time to express her opinion.
"Yuan Niang, your Uncle Hua has come over to tell you something, and he may need your help."
"Is it about paying taxes? Can Niang was just talking to me about this."
"Yes, it's just to pay taxes! Mother Yuan, since everyone has decided to wait until the sun goes down to harvest the sweet potatoes, do you think you should go to the Yamen in person and tell Mr. Xu about this?"
"Of course I want it! Even if you and Uncle Hua can't come, I will go to the county in person. In addition to asking the Min family head and Brother Cao to help deliver food, there is also the time we have decided to leave. I plan to put these Dried meat, dried sweet potatoes and other items made in heaven were sent to Brother Xie. Furthermore, today is already the third year of junior high school, and Junzi and Zhengzi will have their hospital exams in a few days. Due to both emotions and reasons, I also have to write a letter. Believe it."
As soon as Old Man Li heard what he wanted to send the meat for, he replied: "Mother Yuan, you have to send something. Wait a minute. I will go back and dig some sweet potatoes. You can send them over together. In addition, please ask Mother Qingwei." Whether it's a boy or a girl, we can go back to the family tree. Furthermore, you can make Junzi and Zhengzi feel more at ease. It doesn't matter if you don't pass the exam. You are already a child anyway. At worst, you can take the exam again next year. In short, you must treat it with a normal mind. , don’t be anxious!”
"Okay! Then go dig the sweet potatoes first!"
Old Man Li responded and left.
Li Yuan looked at Li Qinghua: "Uncle Hua, why don't you first write down the recipe on how to cultivate sweet potatoes naturally, and then I will decide whether to send the letter to Brother Xie based on Mr. Xu's attitude. It's hot now. If a problem can be solved once and for all, we will try not to deal with it a second time.”
"Sure! Yuan Niang, let me borrow your pen and ink from my uncle!"
"good!"
Because it is summer, the days are long and the nights are short, and Liuyun County closes the city gate according to the time of darkness and dawn.
By the time Li Yuan and Wang Can drove their carriage to Liuyun County, it was already the end of Youshi.
It's just that at this time, the sun hasn't set yet, and it's the hottest time.
Liuyun County, which was usually bustling, is now extremely deserted.
Except for the guards and Li Yuan's carriage, there was no one around the open city gate, and no one could be seen at all.
"Sister, should we go directly to the county government office?"
"Go ahead, I guess Mr. Xu hasn't made a decision yet. After saying this, if you meet Zhang Captou, you don't have to go to Cao's Mansion. If you don't, let's go to Cao's Mansion again and give the things to After passing through, go back to Rongshu Lane."
"good!"
Before Xu Chongguang came to Liuyun County to take office, it was a prosperous place that everyone wanted to come to.
It was also through his family connections that he was able to bypass those Jinshis, Tongjinshis, etc. who were waiting for official positions, and win the position of county magistrate from the Ministry of Personnel.
He originally thought that last year's severe snow disaster did not cause any losses to Liuyun County, so even if there was any disaster this year, it would be able to survive.
But he never expected that less than half a year after taking office here, he would have the urge to run away.
Let’s not talk about the lack of water here, but how hot was it that day?
Even if you walk in the sun, the cloth shoes you wear under your feet will smoke, and you will feel like you are about to be burned by the sun at any time.
As far as he knew, there were many places in Yun State where it was normal for one or two years without a drop of rain.
However, in just a few months in Liuyun County, the wells have dried up, the ground has cracked, the vegetation has withered, and there is not much water left in the river.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes and experienced it with his own eyes, he would have thought it was ridiculous.
Fortunately, Xie Yanzhi had reminded him before, and the people also consciously stocked up on food and water.
As long as you don't go out in the bright sun and pay attention to the thatch on the roof at all times, no lives will be lost.
But it was only June, and the weather was unusually like this. He was also panicking, extremely afraid of being guessed by Xie Yanzhi.
Heavy rain, still torrential rain.
The upstream dam is now in name only...
Whenever he thought of that scene, he couldn't sleep at night.
It is now the third day of June, and there are still three days left for the new prefect to take office. I don't know if the prefect will approve the document he wrote.
If it was not approved, he would have to prepare for the worst!
The terrain of Liuyun County was extremely low. He didn't want to end up with an empty city or countless civilian casualties when he had determined to be a good official in the first year and was about to implement his ambition.
It’s just that everyone who has a little money in the city has left.
Even if there are some who have not left, their family members have been sent away.
In this way, no matter what he wanted to do, he didn't know where to start.
Just when Xu Chongguang was worried and couldn't even eat, Li Yuan came.
Seeing Li Yuan, Xu Chongguang cheered up and asked, "My brothers and sisters came here on such a hot day. What's the matter?"
"It's a good thing for adults! Mr. Xu, we plan to harvest the sweet potatoes from Lijia'ao starting tonight. The villagers knew that the Yamen had difficulty in tax exemption in Yun State, so they decided to pay taxes as before. It's just that this tax, Just use sweet potatoes, I don’t know if it’s possible? Also, our sweet potatoes are grown from outside the country and have extremely high yields.”
"Seriously? The yield per mu can double what it was before?"
"It should be possible. You have to take someone to see it in person to know the details. In addition, this sweet potato has a high yield and is larger than all the sweet potato varieties in our country. I wonder if you have any thoughts on this? For example, write I will return to the capital to report this matter! If your Excellency does not have this idea, for the sake of my Li family, then I can only bypass you and ask Brother Xie to ask Mr. Chen Hao for help. If it is inconvenient for Mr. Chen, then I can only Ask the Marquis of Zhenguo Mansion, where my aunt is married, for help."
For Xu Chongguang, if what Li Yuan said is true, it would be a major achievement of his. How could he not have any ideas?
"Brothers and sisters, brother Shao'an is preparing for the provincial examination now. Don't bother him with this kind of thing. It's your aunt. After all, she is just a housewife and doesn't know much about this. Since this is a matter under my jurisdiction , I will keep an eye on it personally. Of course, if it is really high-yield, when I submit the letter, I will not forget to mention that this thing was planted by the Li clan."
Master Bai, who didn't know when he came in from the side, reminded him at the right time: "Sir, we are the Li family from Lijia'ao, Liuyun County."
