The daughter of a general is reborn to save the whole family of the marquis

During the spring plowing season, the grass is green, the farmland is full of water, and every household is busy harrowing the fields and planting rice.

But today, something serious happened on a vacant lot beside the ridge of the field, and even Prime Minister Zheng Wenkang was invited to the scene.

Just because Yuan Yun proposed a new method of transplanting rice, but it was not accepted by the people, someone reported the matter to the prime minister.

Zheng Wenkang originally didn't care about the farming affairs of the people. Especially after the death of his sister, Concubine Zheng, he suffered a serious blow and was depressed for a while.

During this period of time, he repeatedly pondered the truth behind the imperial concubine's death and felt that it was unlikely that Concubine Xie had killed the imperial concubine. It could have been done by either Xie Lin, Chu Heyi, or the Queen.

Therefore, he hated Xie Lin, Chu Heyi and the Queen equally.

So when he learned that Yuan Yun's new farming method was not accepted by the people, he decided to take care of the matter.

When the villagers learned that the prime minister had arrived, they were very excited and believed that he had come to support them.

After kneeling down to pay respect to the Prime Minister, the village chief immediately said, "It was Master Yuan Yun. He asked us to plant the seedlings farther apart when we plant them, not too close together. He said that this would lead to a good harvest. Otherwise, we would waste seeds and manpower, but the harvest would not be ideal.

"But Master Yuan Yu is the grandson of the Grand Tutor. He has been pampered since he was young and has never worked in the fields. If we plant rice in the way he said, we will definitely waste a lot of land. If the autumn harvest is not ideal, we will suffer.

"But Master Yuan Yun has the support of Lord Xie. When he gives an order, the guards force us to obey him. We are really...really panicking! Please, Lord Prime Minister, please help us!"

The prime minister stepped forward and helped the village chief up, and said to the villagers: "Don't worry, folks, your affairs are the affairs of the court. As the prime minister of Daqi, I will definitely help you and will never let ignorant people do whatever they want."

Yuan Yun was brought before the Prime Minister, who told him what the village chief had said, and then asked Yuan Yun, "Is this true?"

Yuan Yu replied: "There is such a thing. I have tried it. Sufficient space and sunlight can make the seedlings grow better, produce better ears, and yield more. The same piece of land, if cultivated according to my instructions, can reduce the number of seedlings and seeds while increasing the yield."

Zheng Wenkang laughed: "Master Yuan Yun is the grandson of the Grand Tutor. He has been pampered since he was a child, and servants are needed to serve him when he is dressed and eats. However, he has only been playing in the fields with Master Xie for a few months, and he has come up with a better way of planting than the previous ones?

"Master Yuan Yun, are you saying that the farming wisdom of our ancestors over thousands of years is not as good as that of a rich young man like you who has everything he wants?"

Yuan Yun quickly said: "That's not what I meant..."

Zheng Wenkang suddenly put away the smile on his face, his eyes instantly turned cold, and he interrupted him: "Since that's not what you meant, then you are deliberately destroying the villagers' farming! Do you know you are wrong?"

Yuan Yun was stunned, and said subconsciously: "I am not wrong! This method was approved by Master Xie!"

"You destroyed the villagers' planting methods and wasted Daqi's farmland, yet you still dare to say you don't know what's wrong and push Lord Xie to take the blame for you? Come on, beat him up until he knows his mistake!"

The Prime Minister was in a high position of power and had a stern expression. At his command, the dozens of guards he brought with him immediately stepped forward, picked up Yuan Yun and beat him to death.

Yuan Yun's guards were squeezed outside by the villagers. They could not harm the villagers and therefore could not squeeze in.

When Xie Lin and Chu Heyi arrived, they saw the scene where Yuan Yun was almost beaten to death. The thin boy was covered in blood and lying on the ground with his breathing weakly.

Chu Heyi stepped forward, pushed aside the guards, and stood in front of Yuan Yun.

Xie Lin squeezed through the crowd and helped Yuan Yun up. Seeing that Yuan Yun was seriously injured, he handed Yuan Yun to Wang Shan and said, "Take him to see a doctor!"

After Yuan Yun was carried away by Wang Shan, Xie Lin slowly stood up and faced Prime Minister Zheng Wenkang.

"This area was entrusted to me by the Emperor. How dare the Prime Minister come here and take charge of my affairs?"

Xie Lin's voice was as cold as snow, and his eyes were sharp and intimidating. He was obviously angered by Zheng Wenkang's behavior.

Zheng Wenkang laughed: "He disrupted the villagers' farming. Even if this matter is brought to the emperor, the emperor will not stand on Mr. Xie's side! Besides, you are playing with the people's affairs. As the parent official of Daqi, I can't sit idly by!"

Immediately, some villagers responded to Zheng Wenkang's words.

But he felt something was wrong, so he immediately shut up, lowered his head and stepped back.

However, Zheng Wenkang had heard what the villagers said, and he snorted proudly: "Master Xie, you heard it too, right? The villagers do not approve of Master Yuan Yun's new rice planting method at all. When the autumn harvest comes, if the people's harvest is greatly reduced, who will be responsible?"

Xie Lin's eyes swept over the villagers present. The villagers were afraid of trouble and lowered their heads, not daring to look him in the eye.

However, transplanting rice affected their food and clothing, and they could not tolerate rich kids interfering in their affairs, so someone finally plucked up the courage to speak up.

"Thank you, sir. We plant rice to have food and clothes. Without food, we will starve to death. Without clothes, we will freeze to death. We just want to plant rice in an orderly manner and have food to eat during the autumn harvest. This is not a place for you officials to try it out. If the trial fails, you will just fail, but we will face the situation of starvation and freezing. Please understand how difficult it is for us farmers."

Some sensitive villagers had already started wiping away tears, as these words really touched their hearts.

Xie Lin's gaze fell heavily on the village chief.

Regarding the rice planting method that Yuan Yun was trying out, he and Yuan Yun had already shown it to the village chiefs in various places and asked them to persuade the villagers. At that time, the village chiefs agreed readily, but now the village chiefs are standing against him and Yuan Yun.

Zheng Wenkang said sarcastically, "As a parent official, I should be in charge of the people's food and clothing. How about it, Lord Xie, can you be responsible for the autumn harvest?"

"I'm responsible!" Xie Lin's words were so powerful that everyone was surprised. They all looked up at him in disbelief.

After a moment of shock, Zheng Wenkang thought that Xie Lin was just trying to suppress his prestige as prime minister, and sneered, "May I ask, Lord Xie, how are you going to take responsibility?"
