Hunting system, and I ended up becoming the empress!

In the end, no one could persuade her, and the large army marched directly to the Beiyuan County Governor's Mansion.

She took Baimei, Momei, Yingyi, Yinger, Xiaoxuan and several guards with her, pretending to be a rich girl who was traveling and visiting her relatives.

I didn't decide on a direction, I just picked a county at random and set off.

Of course, she is not without targets. Yin Yi has sent several targets for cracking down on gangsters and evil, and she plans to go and see for herself to see how evil these local officials are.

The first one was Heiwu County in Beizhou, a name she was familiar with.

Bai Feng found out that the local county magistrate was in collusion with the man in gray and hid weapons in the mountains behind.

It just so happened that she would go there in person today and settle the accounts at the same time.

The group did not enter Heiwu County, but planned to walk around and take a look at the nearby villages.

The northern province is in the midst of spring plowing and planting, and the people and their families are out weeding, plowing the fields, fertilizing the fields and transplanting rice seedlings - the method of transplanting rice seedlings has already been proposed by Lin Muzhen and will soon be promoted.

Looking around, it's a busy scene.

When he arrived at a target village, Xiao Zhixing, wearing ordinary black tights, randomly walked over to a ridge, and met the eyes of an old man who was sitting on the ridge smoking a pipe.

Xiao Zhixing smiled and said, "Master, judging from the weather, this year should be a good harvest."

The old man hesitated for a moment before replying to her stiffly, "Thanks to God, the spring rain did come on time this year."

Xiao Zhixing simply went over and sat on the ridge of the field without looking down on him, chatting with him, "Sir, you speak official language so well, but are you the village chief here?"

The old man smiled more deeply. "Well, it was the villagers who showed me their love and recommended me to be the village chief. As for why I speak Mandarin well, it all started with the Beizhou Policy Program."

Xiao Zhixing smiled and said, "I heard about it too. I was curious and since you look so extraordinary, I came here to ask around."

The old man was a little wary, "What are you asking about? The guidelines and regulations are posted at the entrance of the government office, no need to ask."

Xiao Zhixing bowed his hands in a good temper, "Hey, I admire Prince Yuan Sheng. This time I came to Beizhou to visit relatives, and I wanted to see the Beizhou she governs. I saw a lot of strange things along the way, and I was so curious that I took the liberty to come and chat with you."

The old man said, "What are you talking about? Those strange things have only appeared recently, there is nothing much to talk about."

"From your expression, you don't seem to support these things?"

The old man shook his head. "That's not the case. For example, the cement is used very quickly to pave roads. My fifth son went to Beiyuan County and came back and said that the whole area is now paved with cement. It's clean and flat. It's a good thing. The whole Beizhou will be paved with cement in the future."

"There is also this Mandarin training. The county specially took old guys like me to the county government office to give us lessons, requiring us to learn to speak even if we can't write."

"I have memorized the Three Character Classic very well."

Under Xiao Zhixing's encouraging and admiring eyes, the old man gradually forgot his restraint and spoke fluently:

"I heard that the higher-ups are going to set up free elementary schools in the village, not only to teach children to read, but also to teach us to identify medicinal herbs, and to have militia training, men, women, old and young can all participate in the training. These changes make me very happy."

"Then we will open up wasteland for farming, exempt rent, provide grain seeds and farm tools at low prices, let the newly opened fields belong to the people, and promote new high-yield grains. Oh, I can't finish talking about it all at once. They are all good things, great things, that is..."

The old man frowned.

Xiao Zhixing asked, "What is it? If it's all good, why do you look like this?"

The old man took a puff of his pipe and sighed, "Beizhou is poor. Which of these things doesn't cost a lot of money? How can Prince Yuansheng support a little kid?"

"She still has to support an army of more than 100,000. Everyone is worried that these good things won't last long."

"Prince Yuansheng is so powerful that he drove the northern barbarians out of the border. Now he has mercy on us. We feel bad. Isn't this taking advantage of her?"

Xiao Zhixing didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She thought that the policy was not suitable for the local conditions and caused some conflicts. She didn't expect it to be like this?

"Hahaha, don't worry, sir. The prince is not poor, and the court will support her. She can still afford to support a Northern Province."

The old man squinted at her and said, "Little girl, you don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are. The implementation of these new policies will cost a lot. Alas, I just hope that Prince Yuansheng can hold on."

Xiao Zhixing laughed, "Master, in fact, the prince's original intention is to share the wealth with the people. When the people are rich, all walks of life in Beizhou will be revived, and all kinds of tax revenue will increase. Under this virtuous cycle, she will not lose too much."

The master waved his hand, "Isn't it us who benefit? Your Majesty, it's her ability."

In the end, he breathed a sigh of relief, as if he was comforted by her.

As they were talking, it was noon. The old man heard that she was passing by and wanted to take a rest, so he warmly invited her to his home.

Xiao Zhixing went there happily.

"We've been chatting for so long, but I still don't know your name?"

After entering a row of six stone-tiled courtyards, Xiao Zhixing said with a smile, "Your house is really magnificent. Your family is prosperous."

"Girls, just call me Old Man Li. Everyone in our Lijia Village has the surname Li." Uncle Li said cheerfully, "The kids below are doing well and have their own livelihoods. I and I will take care of this family and provide them with a safe retreat."

After learning more about him, we found out that he had five sons and one daughter, all of them had promising prospects. The youngest son had passed the imperial examination and even his grandchildren were literate.

Xiao Zhixing gave him a thumbs up and said, "You are a good manager."

Uncle Li was very happy to be praised, "It's all because of my filial piety."

At this time, a young girl and an old woman entered the yard.

The girl was covering her eyes and yelling, "Dad, Dad, give me some clean water, ah, it hurts so much."

The old woman anxiously supported her daughter and put down the basket, "Old man, hurry up, Juan'er's eyes are burning, clean water!"

Uncle Li cried out "ouch" and hurriedly scooped a basin of water.

The girl squatted down and washed her eyes, crying loudly as she washed.

Xiao Zhixing found it funny.

"Old lady, what's going on?" asked Uncle Li.

Granny Li said helplessly, "I accidentally got some red grass on me. Here."

She pointed to a few long purple-red ears in the basket.

Xiao Zhixing looked over and then frowned.

To see it more clearly, she walked over, picked one up and looked at it carefully.

Uncle Li shouted worriedly, "Hey, hey, girl, be careful, this thing is very stinging."

Xiao Zhixing smiled. He didn't expect it to be such a good thing.

"Grandma Li, do you have a lot of this grass here?" Xiao Zhixing asked.

Granny Li seemed to have just realized that there were guests at home, her face flushed, "Yes, yes, there is a large patch of it at the foot of the mountain by the ditch. It grows back after being cut, which is really annoying."

Xiao Zhixing took out a few taels of silver from his pocket and said, "I want a few bundles. Could you please help me cut them? Just cut the ears of corn here. This is my wages."

Uncle Li and Aunt Li looked at each other and didn't dare to answer it.

But the girl Juaner raised her head when she heard the voice, and said loudly with red eyes: "I will go and cut it. I am willing to go and cut it."

Xiao Zhixing smiled and said, "I'll give you half an hour."

"Okay." As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed out with the backpack on his back.

Uncle Li: "...Uh, uh, then, then, girl, please come in and sit down?"

As she raised her foot, a man came running in from outside the yard, sweating profusely and shouting, "Uncle village chief, it's bad, Sandi has been carried back, go and have a look, those people said they want to beat him to death!"

Uncle Li's face changed slightly. He bowed to her and ran out in a hurry.

Xiao Zhixing followed. This was what she was waiting for.
