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

One by one, the potatoes were turned out from the ground, bringing with them the spring mud.

The person behind him carefully wiped off the dirt and put the good quality potatoes into bags.

There was a burst of noise at the entrance of the village, interrupting the bustle in the village.

"Master Wen." Village chief Yang and the villagers went to greet him.

Wen Zhao exempted everyone from formalities, and the officials behind him hurried out to greet him.

Without anyone saying anything, I introduced myself.

Bai Qingyun was listening from behind. Most of the people who came this time were county magistrates from various counties and agricultural officials from Jiangzhou.

But one of them didn't look like an ordinary adult. Instead, he looked like... someone who owed money.

"Village Chief Yang, I heard that Dayang Village can produce 1,000 kilograms of grain per mu. Is that true?" The man had an iron-faced and impartial face, full of official authority.

After arriving in Jiangzhou Prefecture, everyone had not seen such an expression for a long time.

The prefects of Jiangzhou Prefecture all treat people from Dayang Village specially. This has been an open secret since the first day they entered the city gate.

Seeing this, the others naturally followed suit.

The people of Dayang Village were able to quickly open up the market for their magical tofu in Jiangzhou, and there was a lot of help behind this.

Otherwise, such business, although small, has the advantage of small profits but quick turnover, and is also of interest to many people.

It’s just that the officials in Jiangzhou are willing to help, and those people are all shrewd people, so naturally they don’t dare to make trouble.

I have only seen a gentleman like this one in Qujiang County.

Village Chief Yang was a little stunned as he couldn't figure out how to deal with this kind of people.

But he is also an official, while Village Chief Yang is just a peasant, and there is a natural hierarchy between the two.

"Reply... Reply to your Excellency, I dare not lie. Dayang Village has indeed grown a thousand kilograms of grain per mu."

Fortunately, Village Chief Yang only stuttered for a moment and soon found his voice.

Coupled with the support of high grain yield per mu, the momentum came out all of a sudden.

"Speaking of the 1,000-jin grain yield per mu..." Village Chief Yang stroked his beard and said, "It all started in Qujiang County..."

"Back then, I led the young people in the village, fearless of the wild beasts in the mountains, and went through untold hardships before I could get one or two!"

"Then he brought the villagers with him..."

Village Chief Yang is old, and he speaks slowly and leisurely. He straightens his back proudly as he speaks, constantly reminiscing about the past.

But everyone present here is here to observe today's "protagonist".

When the protagonist doesn't show up, everyone is scratching their heads.

"Oh, Village Chief Yang, stop talking, let me wait for you to go and take a look at this... this, this, this..."

Bai Qingyun had heard of this person's introduction before. He was an old county magistrate in Jiangzhou.

"Potatoes!" said another county magistrate.

Bai Qingyun had heard about these two old county magistrates from Wen Zhao, and they were also very worried about the local economy.

During the past few years in office, he has been dedicated to the people of Jiangzhou. Although the results are not very good, as an official, he has a heart for the people.

The two old county magistrates interrupted him anxiously, and as they spoke they found a direction and wanted to leave.

The rest of the people were all anxious and eager to see what the potato looked like.

"Master Yu, don't forget it after you have taken a look at it!" Wen Zhao chuckled and patted the "impartial" master.

When the man heard what Master Wen said, he replied seriously: "Master Wen, what are you talking about? If the yield of these 'potatoes' is really like this..."

"Not to mention that it cost most of Jiangzhou Prefecture's fiscal revenue, I would have paid out of my own pocket to buy this high-yield grain!"

The "impartial" man patted his chest seriously and spoke righteously.

Not far from the village entrance, every household is now busy working in the fields.

When they saw the villagers busy in the fields, there was no need for Village Chief Yang to lead the way, as the adults naturally knew the direction.

“Fellow countryman, what you are digging up is the high-yield grain... soil... soil... soil..." The old county magistrate walked over, panting and unable to speak clearly.

“It’s potatoes!”

Carpenter Yang was busy working in the fields with his wife. When he heard the question and received Xi Yue's guidance, he hurriedly bowed in answer.

"Your Excellency, these are potatoes!" Carpenter Yang pointed to the potatoes covered with mud on the ground.

The old county magistrate quickly turned over and walked down the ridge, picked up the muddy potato and examined it carefully in his hand.

"This... color... is it really edible?" As he said this, he put it to his nose and sniffed it. The smell was a bit strange, something he had never smelled before.

"Sir, these potatoes taste great whether they are roasted or fried. My wife made them this morning!"

Carpenter Yang explained proudly, but Aunt Yang had never seen such a scene before and just listened with her head down.

Being praised in person by her own man, she felt a little embarrassed, and the tips of her ears unconsciously blushed.

But Carpenter Yang didn't notice anything and continued talking incessantly.

"If you two adults don't believe me, why don't you have lunch at the ancestral hall in our village this afternoon and try the potatoes?"

This fearless attitude amazed the two adults.

You know, since I don’t know when it started, when the common people see an official, they are like mice seeing a cat, so scared that they dare not even breathe.

It's still a little better in towns, after all, everyone has seen some of the world; but in the countryside, this situation is particularly obvious.

Even the two old county magistrates often inspected the villages under their jurisdiction, and sometimes even rolled up their sleeves and worked in the fields with the villagers.

But some villagers still fear them from the bottom of their hearts.

Every time I brought them tea or water, my hands couldn't help but tremble.

But now, seeing the aura of Carpenter Yang, not only is there no fear at all, but he is able to advance and retreat freely and neither humble nor arrogant. It is really rare!

This made the two old county magistrates feel warm and comfortable in their hearts.

Immediately, they rolled up their official uniforms, one of them took the hoe from Carpenter Yang, and the other picked up the sack on the ground and started working.

The officers, soldiers and servants following behind him were not surprised and just remained on alert as usual.

The adults go to the fields to understand the people's sentiments. It's good for these people to help occasionally, but it's not good for them to roll up their sleeves and do the hard work.

Although the refugees in Jiangzhou Prefecture have been mostly resettled, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no omissions.

In addition, those traveling today are all top leaders from various places, so it is inevitable that the news will leak out and be "taken down at once".

That would be a devastating blow to the officialdom of Jiangzhou Prefecture.

Not only will several officials lose their lives, but the situation that the Jiangzhou government has managed to stabilize with great difficulty will be destroyed.

Therefore, today's security work is also particularly meticulous.

Every official was accompanied by an official holding an official sword. If there were not enough people, they would specially send servants with better skills from home to come along.

The security level will be directly raised to a higher level this time.
