Chapter 44 The County Magistrate Comes to My House 2



"Hey, look at my brain! The county magistrate please hurry up!" Jiang Ling slapped his head and hurriedly opened the door of his house.He motioned for Suihe to take the county magistrate in.

He himself ran to the back and pushed the trolley in. There was no extra table in the house, so Jiang Ling hurriedly took the table and chairs off the trolley and said, "Lord county magistrate, please take care of me. When I came back from Changning Town, I haven't cleaned up the house yet, so I hope you will forgive me!"

"It's okay, it's okay..." County Magistrate Duan waved his hand.

"The women are stupid. I don't know why the county magistrate came here!" Jiang Ling poured the mint water originally given to Lu Chengcai into the teapot and asked while pouring water for the village chief and county magistrate Duan.

It turned out that the county magistrate Duan encountered drought problems when he first took office. These days, the magistrate Duan has visited almost [-] villages and towns under his subordinates, and the answers he got are all the same—drought, no rain, and the crops are almost dying. up.

County Magistrate Duan himself knew that if it didn't rain for ten days and a half months, the birth would definitely end this year, and there would definitely be homeless people running around.

Not to mention whether he can be promoted in the future, it is estimated that he may not be able to keep the black yarn on his head this year.

When County Magistrate Duan was at a loss, he visited Dahua Village and happened to meet the head of Lujia Village and the head of Dahua Village discussing something.

I went forward and asked and learned that the two were discussing about water sources.

After careful questioning, it turns out that the people in Lujia Village have already solved the water source problem by themselves, and this association is helping the people in Dahua Village to find water sources for free.

County magistrate Duan was even more shocked when he heard it. After repeated inquiries, he learned that the person who put forward this opinion was Jiang from Lujia Village.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly asked the head of Lujia Village to go back to Jiang Shi first, and he himself wanted to see whether Jiang Yaojie's method of finding the water source was effective.

When the village head heard about it, he got in the car and hurried back to Lujia Village. However, Jiang Ling was selling mint water in Changning Town. Jiang Ling's door was waiting for someone to come back.

So there was the scene Jiang Ling came back to see just now, the village chief paced back and forth at the door of Jiang's house with his hands behind his back and anxious expression on his face.

"Jiang Shi, your son is really well-bred!" County magistrate Duan said as he took a sip of the mint water in his teacup.

"Huh? What kind of novelty is this? The entrance is so cool and refreshing!" County magistrate Duan suddenly widened his eyes and looked at the drained teacup in disbelief.

County magistrate Duan is slightly plump. Although he came here in a carriage all the way, just now, he followed several villagers of Dahua Village and Jiang Yaojie to find water sources and almost crossed mountains and mountains.

It would be tiring and hot, but he knew that he was a local parent official anyway, how could he complain about suffering and tiredness in front of the people, so he could only bear it silently, praying in his heart that the water source would be found soon.

After discovering the water source, I wanted to drink a sip of water, but the villagers hurried back to announce the good news. I couldn't let these people wait, so I had to bite the bullet and follow them down the mountain.

In the carriage, Jiang Yaojie was next to him again, but the water in the jug was only enough for Magistrate Duan to drink alone, and Magistrate Duan couldn't drink all the water in the jug by himself in front of a child. Give it to the child.

Just endured all the way alive.

Now that he saw the water, he didn't refuse "Gulu" and drank it in one gulp, only to find that the water was completely different from what he drank before.

"This is called mint water, and it's also sold by women in Changning Town today." Jiang Ling said.

"Oh? Selling? It seems that you, Mrs. Jiang, are indeed outstanding!" County magistrate Duan raised his eyebrows after hearing this.

"My lord is serious. There is no land after the peasant woman and Li. If the village head hadn't been kind enough to let me live in the old house for free, I would have starved to death with these four children!" Jiang Ling deliberately lowered her eyes. The eyebrows pretended to be extremely sad.

"Ms. Yaojie, you... what are you talking about in front of the county magistrate?" After all, this matter is Lujia Village's own business. The village chief felt a little embarrassed, and frowned displeasedly.

"It's okay, it's okay, the Jiang family can raise such an excellent son, there must be something special about him!" County magistrate Duan interrupted the village chief.

"The county magistrate doesn't know what's the matter with your visit?" Jiang Ling asked seeing the time was right.

"To be honest, I want to borrow your son!" County magistrate Duan said, his eyes falling on Jiang Yaojie.

"The twenty villages and towns under my command are now almost plagued by drought. It just so happens that your son, Mrs. Jiang, has a way to find water sources. I just heard that it was your son's suggestion to dig ditches and put bamboo in them. I didn't expect him to be able to do so at such a young age. Come up with so many ideas!" The county magistrate never left Jiang Yaojie's eyes when he said this.

"This... Yaojie is an adult, and the woman wants to hear his opinion. If he refuses, I hope the adult will not blame him!" Finding water is not easy. Beasts were infested, and Jiang Ling didn't want his son to take the risk.

"Mr. Jiang! The county magistrate is admiring your son!" Hearing Jiang Ling's answer, the village head almost broke out in shock, and broke out in a cold sweat.

He never expected Jiang to be so courageous, rejecting the county magistrate's request in front of everyone.

"Well, Mrs. Jiang, you're right. I'm the one who was abrupt, Jiang Yaojie. Are you willing to agree to this matter?" County magistrate Duan asked.

"Lord County Magistrate, you are an official, and we are citizens. In our hearts, you are like a cloud in the sky, keeping us out of reach. How dare we resist what you say?"

Jiang Ling's words were very meaningful, and the county magistrate Duan even narrowed his eyes when he heard it.

The current appearance of County Magistrate Duan completely frightened the village head. If he hadn't been sitting at the side right now, he would have already knelt on the ground with his legs limp.

"Hahaha! Not bad! Jiang Shi, you have a straightforward temper! Tell me what do you want?" County magistrate Duan and the master next to him looked at each other and suddenly burst out laughing.

"Women don't dare to ask for anything. My son can borrow it from you, but the source of water is more or less in the deep mountains and old forests. You have seen the conditions of our family, magistrate. If my son..."

"Mr. Jiang, you can rest assured about your son's safety. I will definitely send someone to protect him. How about I reward you five taels of silver for your son's discovery of a water source?" Duan County Magistrate said.

"Five...five taels of silver??" The village chief almost didn't stand up when he heard it. He was the village chief for a year, and the grain in the field was only three taels.The county magistrate rewarded so much with a wave of his big hand?

"Twenty villages and towns, even if Jiang Yaojie finds ten water sources, that's still 50 taels of silver!" Thinking of the village head's already tangled face, he looked even more dignified, the wrinkles on his face could almost kill flies flying over up.

"My lord, you are joking. Yaojie of our family did not think of this idea alone. The village head also has a lot of credit, and if he hadn't organized everyone to actively dig ditches, even if Yaojie could find the source of water, the water would not flow. Come to the fields!" Jiang Ling said with a smile.

"Huh? And... still have my business?" After being called out by Jiang Ling, the village head broke out in a cold sweat, and he even felt a little cold for no reason.

"Why don't you do this, my lord..." The master who had been silent all this time suddenly rolled his eyes, and whispered to County Magistrate Duan in front of everyone.
