This Lord Du thinks too highly of him, Li Yanhui sneered in his heart, but he didn't show it on the face, he still said calmly, "Master Du thinks highly of him, I don't have the ability to share your worries .”

In this life, he only wanted to guard Shen Minghui and Xiao Qiu, and the family of three lived a stable life. He didn't want to be a savior, nor a hero.

Seeing Li Yan's refusal, Du Yan couldn't hold back his face, so he stood up suddenly.

Seeing him back, Li Yan was a little angry and hurriedly got up, but she just didn't say anything.

Du Yan paused for a while before saying, "Follow me!"

After finishing speaking, he went out, Li Yan couldn't return, so he had to follow closely behind.

When they came to the entrance of the village, Du Yan got into the carriage and turned to Li Yan and said, "You come up too."

Li Yanhui had no choice but to get into the county magistrate's carriage under the envious eyes of all the villagers.

The car drove fast all the way, out of Dao Village, but did not go to the town, but took another country road.

Du Yan opened the curtain of the car, pointed to the outside and said, "Look, this is Maixiang Village, the name is Maixiang, but there is no smell of wheat."

Li Yan looked back and saw that large tracts of land were barren and overgrown with weeds. At this time, the carriage was driving on a high place, and Maixiang Village could be seen clearly at a glance. Even the rice fields were just a few sparse patches. Compared with the rice village, it was really poor. Far.

What a pity the land!

At this time, the carriage shook and stopped, Du Yan asked, "What's going on?"

A yamen servant replied outside, "My lord, the carriage is stuck."

Du Yan sighed, "It seems that we have to walk." After saying that, he got out of the carriage.

Li Yan came out and looked, no wonder the carriage got stuck, this road is not a road at all, there are big and small potholes, even walking has to be deep and shallow.

Du Yan walked in front and said as he walked, "I don't know where you got your potatoes and other food, but in this troubled world, it's not a good thing to stand out."

Li Yan's heart tightened when he heard this, and he suddenly remembered Boss Jin of Linjiang Restaurant. Last time he refused to cooperate with Linjiang Restaurant, and he didn't know if Boss Jin would do anything else. It seems that he has to be careful. It's getting late.

Du Yan continued, "How many poor families sold their sons and daughters for a bite to eat, and their wives and children were separated, and their flesh and blood were separated. What's more, they were forced to the point of being unable to live on. , if things go on like this, I'm afraid no one will be able to live in peace. If the foundation is so shaken, the country will not be here, but home will be safe?"

Li Yan recalled that Minghui seemed to have been sold by his father, but in exchange for a bag of rice.

The two of them entered Maixiang Village without knowing it. When the villagers saw an official and lord coming, they were all too frightened to vent their anger, and retreated to the side of the road, bowing their heads and hands.

Li Yanhui followed behind him and saw that the villagers in Maixiang Village were all in tattered clothes, with yellow and thin faces. It was already autumn, but many people were still walking barefoot.

Maixiang Village is the same as Dao Village. The rice has been harvested at this time, and it is the autumn harvest season. However, there is no trace of joy or hope on the faces of these people, and they are all numb and dazed.

There are so many exorbitant taxes in this world. People not only have to pay land taxes and poll taxes, but also have to serve corvee. Fortunately, the current tax collection system uses a whip method. No matter what the title is, it is turned into silver taels, as long as you pay enough silver. Otherwise, Li Yanhui would really suffer unspeakably.

Du Yan's voice brought him back from his thoughts, "In this chaotic world, it's impossible to live in a corner, a piece of fat, anyone who is extremely hungry wants to take a bite."

Is he warning that he is this piece of fat?Li Yan thought about it, maybe Master Du's words are also reasonable. If one person stands out, he will only become the target of public criticism, but if there are ten people, hundreds or even thousands of people, everyone can eat enough, and every family can save food. thing?

Going around the village and seeing these villagers living in such a miserable life, Li Yan was deeply touched in her heart.Seeing those eyes looking at him with hope again, he couldn't help but feel a little bit unbearable, maybe, he can give it a try within his ability.

Finally, Du Yan looked at him, obviously waiting for a reply.

Li Yan pondered for a moment, then said, "Your Excellency, I will understand what you mean, but, I am just a grassroots person, and I may not have such abilities."

But Du Yan said, "As long as you are willing to give it a try, I will help you if you have any difficulties. Whether it works or not is another matter. Just give it a try first, okay?"

Li Yan looked back at him, this Du Yan is really a good official for the country and the people, for the sake of these people, he would not hesitate to ask a farmer like him, and sighed slightly, "Okay, I'll give it a try."

Seeing that Li Yan answered yes, Du Yan looked happy and excited, and slapped him on the shoulder, "I believe that I will never misjudge someone. Do you have any requests?"

Li Yan thought about it, "I need land and labor."

"That's easy to say," Du Yan readily agreed, "I will issue a document in a while, requesting all the village chiefs in Liangshui County to be at your disposal, so you can do it freely."

"Thank you, my lord!" Li Yan replied, "It's just that it's autumn now, so the effect won't be too obvious, so don't be in a hurry." The Great Luo Immortal does not have the ability to cast beans into soldiers or turn a stone into gold.

"It doesn't matter." Du Yan said with a smile, "I know that no one can become fat with one bite, you just take your time."

Saying that, he took Li Yanhui's hand and got into the carriage together.

After they left, among the villagers in Maixiang Village waiting quietly, one person looked at Li Yanhui who left with bright eyes.

After returning to Dao Village, Li Yan got out of the carriage, said goodbye to Du Yan, and returned to her home.

As soon as they entered the yard, Xiaoqiu and the mink rushed over eagerly, "Father!"

Li Yanhui picked up Xiaoqiu, and as for Xiao Diao's treatment, of course he was kicked away.Shen Minghui who was in the house also ran out when he heard the movement, and hurriedly asked him, "Master Du, why is Master Du looking for you?"

"It's nothing, it's just something about the crops." Li Yan said back, and she saw Jin Cheng, who was leaning under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, lazily blowing the cool autumn wind, and would never leave him on weekdays Chang Qing, who was three steps away, hadn't seen anyone for several days.

Then he asked, "Why hasn't Chang Qing seen it for several days?"

Jin Chengwei closed his eyes and returned to him, "I told him to do some things, and I'll be back in a while."

When it was time for dinner, Chang Qing finally appeared.Li Yan saw that he was exhausted, as if he had been working in the field for a whole day.

Shen Minghui asked while eating, "Master, how much corn and peanuts will Zuiyinlou need tomorrow?"

Li Yanhui held a chopsticks of vegetables for him and said, "I heard from Du Heng that Master Du will hold a full moon banquet in two days, and the prefect and King Huainan will come to attend. Let me send more corn and peanuts. He wants It’s used for cooking. In my opinion, it’s better to send two hundred catties of everything first, and if it’s not enough, give it away.”

Shen Minghui wrote it down after hearing the words, and continued to eat.

After Jin Cheng and Chang Qing heard this, they exchanged a look in a calm manner, but all of this was seen by Li Yanhui.

On the day when Master Du held the full moon banquet, Jin Cheng and Chang Qing disappeared early in the morning, and there was no one there until night.

At this time, the autumn harvest in Dao Village was coming to an end. Many villagers learned that Li Yanhui needed manpower again, so they rushed to report to Zhou Chuanzong.

The next day, Zhou Chuanzong brought people to the field and divided them into two groups, one group broke corn and the other group pulled peanuts.

The system reappeared when the rest of the room was filled with corn and peanuts.

"Congratulations for passing the second level. You will get [-] gold coins. If you exceed the limit, you will be given two gifts."

As soon as Li Yan heard the word "gift", Li Yan regained her spirits and hurriedly brought the gift over. Sure enough, it was Shenshui again.

He asked, "System, what is the source of this water?"

The system coughed, "It was sent by the headquarters, the system doesn't know."

Well, I clearly don't want to say it, and Li Yanhui doesn't force it, as long as I can get it, it doesn't matter where it came from. She turned her head and said, "System, last time I was punished for nothing, you Should I be compensated?"

The system paused for a long time before asking, "What compensation do you want?"

Yo, you will ask people?Li Yan hurriedly said, "Give me two more bottles of water!"

"The gift is in a state of tension, only one bottle!" Li Yanyan just said it casually, but she didn't expect to get it, and she was overjoyed immediately.

The system fumbled for a bottle of water.

Li Yanhui grabbed it, as if afraid that it would go back on its word, and before asking some more questions, the system disappeared again.

Li Yanhui put the two bottles of water away in the room, leaving only one bottle in her bosom.

When he was in the cornfield last time, he found that because the rain had washed all the divine water to the bottom, and finally gathered in the reservoir, the pond was obviously different, with lush aquatic plants and clear water, even a few wild fish Grow fat.He knew it must be because of Shenshui.

Li Yan returned to the lotus pond with the divine water in her arms. At this moment, the lotus leaves had turned dark green, the lotus flowers had long since bloomed, and tender lotus pods grew, and the fish in the water were only half-sized. Bubbles in the water.

Li Yanhui dripped a few drops of divine water into the lotus pond, and after a while, the water turned into waves, and some fish fry crazily crowded in the place where the water was dripping just now, as if they were grabbing delicious bait, they kept swimming in the water flopping.

Even the lotus leaves seemed to be greener. Li Yan looked back and was amazed. It seems that this divine water has a magical effect on everything in this world.

When everything was proceeding step by step, Li Yanhui began to consider Du Yan's request. Seeing that it was already autumn, what could be done to help the villagers enjoy the coming winter first.

At night, when Li Qiu fell asleep, Li Yan said to Shen Minghui, "Minghui, how much money does our family have now?"

Shen Minghui kept accounts every day, opened the account book, and said with a smile, "Now there are more than 9000 taels. Sometimes, I feel like I am dreaming. I never thought that I would have so much silver in this life. "

Li Yan looked back at the smile on his face, and felt very comfortable in her heart. Is there anything else that can compare to making her family happy?

"In two days, most of the money will be used up, will you feel distressed?"

"Ah? Is there something wrong? Why do you use so much?" Shen Minghui asked in confusion.

"Investment." Li Yanhui only gave him two unintelligible words.
