After rebirth, I went from a peasant girl to the richest man

"Sir Wen, I came here today to invite you and the other officials in charge of farming in Jiangzhou to have a 'simple meal' in Dayang Village!"

Wen Zhao looked at Bai Qingyun with joy, secretly expecting the other party to come up with a brilliant idea.

He was completely focused, not even blinking, afraid of missing any details.

However, when he finally heard Bai Qingyun speak, he was shocked as if struck by lightning.

"Is this the solution you came up with?" Wen Zhao widened his eyes and muttered to himself in disbelief.

He subconsciously reached out and scratched his ears, as if he suspected that he had heard it wrongly.

Immediately afterwards, a strong sense of self-doubt surged into his heart, making him begin to reflect on whether his previous expectations of Bai Qingyun were too high.

After confirming it again and again, Wen Zhao refused without a second thought: "Miss Bai, I'm afraid that the officials in the entire Jiangzhou don't have the energy to eat a 'easy meal' now."

When he said the last two words, Wen Zhao even imitated Bai Qingyun's tone and added emphasis.

What a joke! In order to dig this canal that runs through the entire Jiangzhou, the officials of the Jiangzhou government and various county governments were all busy!

Jiangzhou, as the provincial capital, was the main area for excavation. Both its length and depth were unprecedented in the history of Dazhao.

The six counties in Jiangzhou also planned tributaries of the canal. Although the scale of the project was not as large as that of the provincial capital, the county magistrates were still under tremendous pressure.

Therefore, each county government also led a small number of refugees and was responsible for the road section within its jurisdiction.

Bai Qingyun was just making a suggestion, but it was the first time he heard that Wen Zhao could use multiple approaches on his own and shorten the construction time.

But it is understandable that ending a day early can save a day's food or wages.

Looking at the entire Jiangzhou, a considerable amount of financial savings has indeed been achieved.

After understanding Wen Zhao's current situation, Bai Qingyun stopped beating around the bush and said, "Master Wen, as early as the end of last year, Dayang Village had already grown high-yield crops, with an output of up to 1,000 kilograms per mu!"

"How much?" Wen Zhao jumped up from the armchair in shock, scratching his ears again and again, even more incredulous than before.

Bai Qingyun looked at Wen Zhao's jumping expression and recalled County Magistrate Zhu's shocked expression. In comparison, somehow, Lord Wen was indeed more lovable.

Bai Qingyun cleared his throat to make sure his voice was clear enough: "Sorry, I didn't express myself clearly!"

Upon hearing this, Wen Zhao retreated back to the armchair and looked at Bai Qingyun with resentment.

He said, how is it possible to produce 1,000 kilograms per mu!

"At that time, the village chief and his men made a careful calculation and found that the yield per mu should have reached 3,500 kilograms!"

"What?" Wen Zhao's heart, which had just calmed down a little, began to beat wildly again.

As if he was greatly stimulated, he stroked his heart with his left hand and pointed at Bai Qingyun with trembling fingers of his right hand: "You...you...you..."

Bai Qingyun waited for a long time, looked at it from her perspective, and secretly compared it.

Well, this time I jumped higher than last time!

But Lord Wen trembled so much that he said "you" several times, but there was no further follow-up.

The servant waiting outside the door heard the noise and rushed in. Seeing his master slumped in the chair, he went forward to comfort him.

Wen Zhao pushed away the hand that the servant had extended to comfort him and stared into Bai Qingyun's eyes: "So, the 'easy meal' you mentioned is the high-yield grain you mentioned?"

It was the same emphasized tone again, but this time, Wen Zhao said it through gritted teeth.

You can even hear the crisp sound of teeth colliding with the trembling jaw!

Then Bai Qingyun heard Wen Zhao's hearty laughter, deafening.

Bai Qingyun was frightened by the surrounding laughter and shuddered several times.

Could it be that I have driven him crazy?

The trembling body regained stability and the eyes became clear.

Wen Zhao sat up and took a deep look at Bai Qingyun: "So... this is an opportunity for Jiangzhou's development!"

"Lord Wen is right!" Bai Qingyun knew that he had made the other person a little angry, so he looked well-behaved at the moment and could find no fault with him.

Wen Zhao's mind gradually became clear at this moment. Looking at Bai Qingyun's performance, he saw through it but did not say anything.

Seeing that the two men were not in serious trouble, the servant gave them more tea and then went back to the door.

Bai Qingyun took a sip. Although it was not a precious tea, it was also this year's new tea, fresh and sweet.

“I don’t know how it is under Lord Wen’s rule, but Lord Wen can also select his own candidates to go to Dayang Village!”

I originally thought that the people in charge of farming would know something about the crops in the fields, but now I heard that it was the officials in Jiangzhou who made the arrangements.

Those agricultural officials are very busy now. Not only do they have to guide local farming, but they also have to guide refugees to open up land. I guess they are very busy.

However, this does not affect Bai Qingyun's layout. At least Wen Zhao is enough to take charge of the general direction.

"The situation under my jurisdiction is relatively peaceful. If we don't go to Dayang Village, forget about the county magistrates. I will go with the officials from Jiangzhou!"

Wen Zhao looked at Bai Qingyun, his lips slightly raised, as if he had a plan in mind.

"Starting today, Dayang Village will begin the harvest. Tomorrow, you gentlemen will come to visit and have a taste of this new food."

Seeing Bai Qingyun's expression of wanting to say something, Wen Zhao couldn't help but speak up: "Miss Bai, if you have something to say, just say it! I will tell you everything I know!"

Her intuition told her that the little girl looked like she was holding back something big.

Bai Qingyun pursed his lips and said, "I wonder how the finances of Jiangzhou Prefecture are doing?"

As expected, Wen Zhao's heart was relieved and he died again!

"The finances... can still hold out for a while, but there is a shortage of food. All the government finances have to be used to buy food!"

Speaking of this, Wen Zhao thought of the nearby granary that had been emptied, and said angrily.

In contrast, Bai Qingyun felt relieved.

The finances of a prefectural city are already considerable.

If it can hold out for a period of time, it means there is still some money left.

Not to mention too much, it is definitely enough to pay Dayang Village.

"In that case, my Lord, you can arrange for people to go to Dayang Village to purchase grain tomorrow and fill up those empty granaries!"

The harvest this time was quite fruitful, and its scale was staggering!

With the concerted efforts of all the people in Dayang Village, and with the exception of the Bai family, the other families in Dayang Village were able to harvest more than 200,000 kilograms of potatoes.

The output of the Bai family alone is as high as 300,000 kilograms!

However, this is just the tip of the iceberg - the inventory in Bai Qingyun's space has not yet been taken into account!

Considering the need to supply the entire Jiangzhou population, the more the better.

But even without the space reserve as a backup, just distributing the existing potatoes to various counties would be enough for each place to get tens of thousands of kilograms.

In this way, there is more than enough for cultivating new seedlings.

Although the share each household gets is not much, after all, this crop only needs to be planted once and there will be no shortage of it in the future.

Wen Zhao choked on his breath, but finally sighed: "That's good, I can feel more at ease if I accept it sooner!"
