The Princess of the Substitute Bride Strikes Back

Chapter 82: Distribution of Villages (1)

Lianjiang County has 18 towns under its jurisdiction, each of which includes a dozen or even dozens of villages. It has a vast territory and a sparse population. The population may not be more than that of other counties, but the area is quite large. However, due to the low temperature in winter and the special soil, the crops have poor harvests all year round.

Some people began to turn to animal husbandry, but in years of famine, due to water and food shortages, the growth of cattle and sheep was not ideal.

Therefore, Lianjiang County as a whole is in a state of resource scarcity. If they can donate money, it will not be difficult to get a share of it in a village. After all, the thing that is least lacking here is land.

"Great! I'll go back and raise the money right away."

When Chen Jianzhong heard the news, he was overjoyed and immediately returned home to settle the money.

"Lianjiang County does not look very wealthy. I'm afraid our days will be difficult in the future."

Wang Ling looked at the street in front of him. This was the main street where the government office was located, but it seemed quite deserted, with basically no houses selling goods along the street.

"There will definitely be hardships, but life depends on people. As long as we work hard, everything will move in a good direction."

Mu Yibai looked at Fu Yunxi and everyone in the first house. At this moment, he was full of longing for the future!

"Yeah! All the good things come from hard work. Everything will be fine."

Wang Ling understood the meaning of Mu Yi's words. He also hoped that the future would be peaceful and smooth!

What Wang Ling, Chen Jianzhong and Mu Yibai said just now were heard by the Fourth Aunt and the Fifth Aunt.

They winked at each other. In fact, they all wanted to be assigned to the same village as the eldest wife. After all, everyone was familiar with each other, which was better than being in an unfamiliar village by themselves.

But no one was too embarrassed to speak up. After all, the eldest wife had no obligation to take care of them all the time. It was just a thought!

"Alright, each family should send a representative to register! Since you have been demoted to a commoner, you should stop causing trouble and spend the rest of your life here in peace."

After Zheng Chengyuan finished the registration, he let everyone into the county government office. His reminder sounded like a warning, and it was unclear who he was targeting.

But after saying this, he led his officers and soldiers back to Beijing. Perhaps they would never see each other again in this life.

Those who entered the county government office together included the eldest grandson of the Ruan family, the eldest son of the Zhu family, Chen Jianzhong, Wang Ling, Mu Yibai and his wife, the fourth aunt, Yunhuo and others.

The county magistrate sat in the hall, and people lined up to go forward to handle the formalities. Shunfeng County had weak financial resources and few officials.

Cases such as receiving exiles were considered major cases of the court, and therefore were handled directly by the county magistrate.

"The Ruan and Zhu families were assigned to Guangtou Village; the Chen and Wang families were assigned to Lijia Village; the Mu family was assigned to Mojia Village."

The county magistrate made the assignments according to the personnel list and asked everyone to come forward with their household registration documents to register.

The Ruan and Zhu families did not say much and left after completing the registration.

Mu Yibai and Fu Yunxi took a step forward.

"My Lord, I have something I want to donate to Lianjiang County."

As soon as Fu Yunxi finished speaking, Mu Yibai put the two sacks in his hands on the table.

"What is this?"

The county magistrate was a little confused, as he had never seen exiled criminals or common people giving gifts right away.

"My Lord, I know that the weather here is quite cold and it is difficult to grow a good harvest of food. This is a brand new seed developed in my hometown. It can withstand cold and drought, and its yield is at least twice as high as that of ordinary seeds."

With the help of the space, Fu Yunxi has successfully developed a new type of seeds in recent days. She referred to many agricultural planting books, cultivated the fruits in the space into seeds, and added insect repellents and pesticides. In this way, the yield is more considerable.

At present, all kinds of seeds such as grains, fruits and vegetables are available. However, she was worried that the county magistrate would find it difficult to believe her, so she took out two bags and asked her subordinates to try them first. If the effect is good, the county magistrate will naturally believe it. Even if the effect is not good, the cost is not high.

"Where is your hometown? I'm afraid you have never been to Lianjiang County. The soil conditions here are very different from other places, and the weather is extremely bad. Even the most tenacious seeds will find it difficult to thrive."

This is what the county magistrate is most worried about. Food is the most important thing for the people. It is difficult to grow high-quality food in Lianjiang County, so it is naturally the poorest.

"Here is a bag of wheat seeds and a bag of corn seeds. These seeds can be harvested in just three months. It is not yet July yet. If we sow them immediately, they can be harvested before October. The county magistrate can send people to plant a few acres first. I will pay for the labor. If the planting fails, the loss will also be my responsibility. If the planting is successful, our Lianjiang County will have high-yield grain seeds in the future, which will be good for everyone."

Fu Yunxi was full of confidence in her seeds. She believed that the seeds produced in this space must be of high quality. When she talked with the county magistrate, she made clear reasons and arguments, which made the county magistrate look at her with admiration. She was indeed a lady from a noble family. This also aroused his curiosity. This business that was sure to make money was worth a try.

"Okay, then I will accept your seeds and arrange for people to sow them tomorrow. You offer such good things, do you have any requests?" The county magistrate did not believe that Fu Yunxi would selflessly donate money and seeds, he just felt that she should have something to ask for.

"Your Excellency the County Magistrate is too kind. Lianjiang County will be my home in the future, and I just want to do my best for my hometown. However, it would be great if you could agree to assign the Mu, Chen, and Wang families to the same village."

Fu Yunxi's smile was pure, and although it was meant to please people, it did not make people feel flattering or annoying at all.

"Haha, OK, I'll grant your request. Don't forget to come over and settle your wages later!"

The county magistrate was very surprised. He had not expected that Fu Yunxi's request was to assign several families to the same village. Wouldn't that be easy? Their area was vast, the population was sparse, and there were many houses. This simple request was not a request at all.

The county magistrate looked to be less than fifty years old, with a little graying at the temples, but he was quite kind. Perhaps the people here were just simple and honest.
