Traveling through the famine years with the system to raise cubs

Chapter 45 Scale Up 1



"Well...then follow the method you said!" County Magistrate Duan nodded after hearing this, showing a satisfied expression.

The master looked up at the village chief, and the village chief's heart was beating violently again. It was obviously a hot summer day, but now his whole body was slightly chilled, even shivering slightly.

"Village Chief Lu, your village has made great contributions to discovering water sources and digging ditches. The county magistrate rewards you with 20 taels of silver. Jiang Yaojie is resourceful and able to use wormwood to find water sources. It is also a merit. I hereby tattoo five taels of silver last time..." Speaking of this , Master deliberately paused.

Turning to look at Jiang Ling, he said: "Mr. Jiang, among the twenty villages and towns under Pingxi County, only Lujia Village and Dahua Village have water sources temporarily. Your son is outstanding. I hope your son can follow our county magistrate to go to the rest of the village. The [-] villages and towns in the village solved the water source problem for the people in the villages and towns, and this matter can be regarded as a meritorious deed for the people, what do you think?"

"Of course, you don't need to worry about the reward. If you find a water source, the county magistrate will reward you with ten taels of silver in Lujia Village, and your son with five taels of silver. What do you think?"

Jiang Ling pursed her lips and smiled, and then she said something that surprised everyone present.

"Forget about my son's five taels of silver, let's count it directly on Lujiacun's head!"

"What... what?" County magistrate Duan froze in mid-air while holding the teacup.

He couldn't figure it out, this woman who didn't have a piece of land in front of her had four children, and her family could also be described as destitute, and she was able to give away the free money when she was short of money.

County magistrate Duan looked up at Jiang Ling. For some reason, he always felt that this thin woman in front of him was not simple at all, and might even hide some great wisdom.

Master stared at Jiang Ling with wide eyes.

The village chief who was sitting next to him opened his mouth so much that he was about to stuff an egg into it.

"My son is also a member of Lujia Village. In my humble opinion, the county magistrate, you don't need to reward him alone!" Jiang Ling's voice was soft but full of strength.

The reason why Jiang Ling did this was mainly because he didn't want Jiang Yaojie to be the target of public criticism. He has a very special identity. Once he has money, the Lu family's best scumbags may want to plot against their mother and son.

As the saying goes, "It's easy to hide from an open gun, but hard to defend from a hidden arrow." Instead of letting the silver in Jiang Yaojie's hands be missed, it is better to simply become the silver tael of Lujia Village.

On the one hand, it can reduce unnecessary troubles. Anyway, I have a shopping mall, and now it is no problem to start a small business to support my children.

Secondly, the village head will treat him differently.The ties of blood in the village beat Jiang Ling all the time. Before Jiang Ling fully established his prestige, he had to firmly hold on to the big tree of the village chief.

Otherwise, her life in Lujiacun will definitely not be as easy as it is now.

County magistrate Duan was stunned for a moment as if he had thought of something, he laughed and nodded, agreeing to Jiang Ling's request.

Before leaving, County Magistrate Duan pointed to the teapot on the table and said, "Mr. Jiang, this is the small business you went to Changning Town to do, right?"

Jiang Ling nodded and said, "Does the county magistrate think the taste is good? The woman will go to Pingxi County tomorrow to deliver a bucket to the county magistrate. It's so hot and I hope you pay attention to your health."

Hearing this, the county magistrate Duan shook his head and said to Jiang Ling: "You still have to charge the amount. As your parent officer, how can I search for people's fat and anointing at will?"

As he said, County Magistrate Duan took out a tael of silver from his pocket, put it in front of Jiang Ling, and then took Jiang Yaojie away from Jiang Ling's house.

"My lord, I don't need so much silver!" Jiang Ling said holding the one tael of silver.

"Mr. Jiang, you can't just do a small business for one day! You can send this tael for as many days as you can!" County magistrate Duan waved Jiang Yaojie away from Jiang Ling's house.

After seeing off County Magistrate Duan and his master, the village chief slumped on the chair weakly, as if he had just been fished out of the water, and his whole body was soaked.

"Village chief, what's wrong with you? Don't suffer from heat stroke!" Jiang Ling teased the village chief.

"Jiang... Mrs. Jiang... You must be too courageous!" Looking at the village head's pale face, sweating profusely, Jiang Ling almost laughed out loud.

"Village chief, is this done?" Jiang Ling asked back.

"Yes...but...but..."

"No, but if the matter is done, it will be done. Village chief, go back and change your clothes!" Jiang Ling didn't want to listen to the village chief's nagging. After all, Jiang Ling had her own business in the afternoon, so she interrupted quickly.

The village chief looked at Jiang Ling, heaved a long sigh of relief, barely stood up with his hands on the table, and left Jiang Ling's home tremblingly.

"Mom, what's wrong with the village chief's grandfather?" Jiang Suihe asked curiously, looking at the village chief's leaving back.

"It's okay, maybe I feel a little uncomfortable after sitting for a long time!" Jiang Ling prevaricated.

After finishing speaking, Jiang Ling looked up at the sky. The heat will be in full swing. She turned her head and said to the three children, "You three stay at home obediently. Mother will go to the back mountain to pick "spicy grass" and come back."

"Mother, let me go with you!" Jiang Suhe said, walked to the corner and picked up the basket and carried it on his back.

"Suihe, you are resting at home, don't suffer from heat stroke in such hot weather!" Jiang Ling said and quickly took off the back basket for Jiang Suihe.

What Jiang Suhe wanted to say was still stopped by Jiang Ling. Jiang Ling knew that Jiang Suhe was a good boy, but in such a hot day, if the child really suffered from heatstroke, Jiang Ling would think of it more anxiously. Let’s take as many books as you can read.”

Jiang Suihe nodded and whispered, "Mother, be careful on the road."

Jiang Ling touched Jiang Suhe's head and left the house with a smile, walking towards the mountain.

"Jiang Shi, the county magistrate has gone to your house?" Jiang Ling had just walked out when she met Zhao Erleng's daughter-in-law who was about to go to the field to take care of the crops.

Seeing Jiang Shi, Zhao Erling's daughter-in-law hurriedly approached her and asked in a low voice.

"Yeah, what's wrong?" Jiang Ling frowned and asked puzzledly.

"Then... what does the county magistrate look like? Is he tall or short? Fat or thin?" Zhao Erling's daughter-in-law continued to chase after Jiang Ling and asked.

Jiang Ling was speechless, Zhao Erleng and his own house were separated by a wall, did they not have the courage to take a sneak peek at the appearance of the county magistrate?After Jiang Ling thought about it, it seemed that Zhao Erleng's daughter-in-law's reaction also made sense. After all, this was not modern times, and there was a clear division of class status in the past.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ling said lightly: "He is fat and looks very kind. He should be a good official."

"Oh, Mrs. Jiang, you are so courageous. If it were me, I would be so scared that I would kneel on the ground and dare not speak!" After listening to Jiang Ling's description, Zhao Erling's daughter-in-law showed admiration for Jiang Ling.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Erling's daughter-in-law moved closer, put her hands on her mouth and lowered her voice, "Jiang Shi, I heard from the big-headed wife, why do you want Sui He to study in Linghui Academy?"
