Dressed as a family of cannon fodder, the villain brother is busy opening up wasteland

Luo Shi arrived at the foot of the mountain first. When he saw someone working, he asked them to find Wen Xiuyi and ask him to come down the mountain quickly.

Because there are so many fruit trees on the mountain, it is impossible to rely solely on the three fruit farmers who plant the trees, so the Wen family selected a few hardworking people in the village and hired long-term workers to take care of the fruit trees on the mountain.

Luo Shi was waiting at the foot of the mountain, and soon Wen Xiuyi came down sweating profusely.

"Mom, what's wrong?" Just now they came up and hurriedly told him that Luo Shi was looking for him. Wen Xiuyi was so frightened that he thought something had happened to the old lady, so he hurried down and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the old lady was fine.

"The county magistrate is here and wants to find you. Let's go and see what's going on first," Luo Shi said.

Wen Xiuyi was confused: "What is the county magistrate doing here?"

Luo Shi glanced at him sideways: "You ask me who should I ask?" After that, he left.

Wen Xiuyi quickly followed.

The mother and son arrived at the village chief's house. Many people were already blocking the door. Someone shouted: "Xiucai Wen is here, and Aunt Wen is here too."

The crowd dispersed with a swipe, making way for them.

Luo Shi walked in front, Wen Xiuyi walked behind, and entered the door of the village chief's house.

The village chief accompanied County Magistrate Chen obsequiously, answering all questions. It was not until he heard people outside saying that Wen Xiucai and Aunt Wen were coming that he hurried out to greet them.

"Why are you here?" the village chief asked in a low voice.

"It's busy on the mountain, so we can't leave." Luo Shi replied directly.

The village chief took a deep breath and led the two people into the house.

"Sir, Wen Xiucai and Aunt Wen are here." The village chief said to Master Chen quickly.

Luo Shi and Wen Xiuyi saluted, Master Chen quickly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Brother Wen, why are you so polite? Aunt Wen is the same. What kind of salute are you doing? Sit down, sit down, let's sit down and talk."

The village chief's chin almost dropped to the ground. The county magistrate had looked aloof just now, but now he had a different look when facing Wen Xiuyi and Luo Shi.

Wen Xiuyi and the others were old acquaintances with County Magistrate Chen. After sitting down, they clasped their fists and asked, "I wonder what you have to do with the common people?"

Before the village chief recovered from the shock, he heard County Magistrate Chen say: "To be honest, I heard something about the grain output of your Gutong Village, so I wanted to come and conduct an on-site inspection. I have to trouble Wen. Scholar, help me lead the way and let me take a closer look to see if it is as rumored. If it is true, then our Gutong Village will have made a great contribution."

Is this why you came here?

"Okay, then let's take your Excellency for a walk in the fields." Wen Xiuyi stood up.

County Magistrate Chen stood up, and the village chief also stood up, accompanying him back and forth.

"I also heard that there are many literary and scholarly contributions here?" Magistrate Chen asked as he walked away.

Wen Xiuyi smiled slightly: "I can't talk about the credit, but I have researched some methods myself, and I thought it would be good to help everyone improve the food harvest situation."

"Wen Xiucai is indeed a person who cares about people's livelihood. He should continue to take the imperial examination. Why is there no record of Wen Xiucai taking the examination in recent years?" County Magistrate Chen asked.

Wen Xiuyi touched his nose awkwardly and said with a smile: "Hey, don't you like farming? Sir, please come here. What do you want to see first?"

County Magistrate Chen reluctantly did not expose his awkward way of changing the topic, and just said: "Then let's go and see the wheat in our fields first."

In this way, Wen Xiuyi led County Magistrate Chen, followed by the village chief, and Luo went home halfway. She was so busy at the miso factory that she had no time to accompany the county magistrate around.

Behind them, there were many lively villagers.

County Magistrate Chen is like a leader who goes to the countryside to check on the situation. He asks questions wherever he goes. When he goes to someone’s field, he calls that family and asks them if this year’s harvest is different from last year’s. , arrived at the territory of the Wen family.

Compared with other places, the ears of wheat in Wen's field are plumper and denser, and the branches are even thicker than those in other places.

County Magistrate Chen was puzzled, so Wen Xiuyi explained the reason to him.

After hearing this, County Magistrate Chen glanced at the villagers who were following him and said only: "What a pity." What a stupid group of people.

When they arrived at the cornfield, Magistrate Chen asked curiously what it was.

"Ah, this is also a kind of food." Wen Xiuyi didn't think about whether to tell Magistrate Chen about corn for a while. After all, he couldn't determine whether he was a good official now.

Magistrate Chen was about to continue asking, but suddenly he thought of something, the expression on his face changed, and what he said became: "Oh, then go somewhere else."

I almost asked, I almost asked, and I forgot the person’s advice, don’t ask questions that you shouldn’t ask.

Wen Xiuyi took Magistrate Chen to visit the watermill and canal, his duck shed and fish pond, and even the winery. The fruit trees on the mountain had just been planted, and the road up the mountain was not easy to walk. He led him around the foot of the mountain.

Finally, I returned to the village and watched the village chief's demonstration of the Quyuan Plow in person.

And all of this was recorded in the county annals he brought with him.

After going around in a circle, I have asked what I need to ask, I have written down what I need to write down, and it is time for Magistrate Chen to leave.

"Then I will go back today, Wen Xiucai, don't worry, I will report all these things you did truthfully. If it can really improve the food production, then Wen Xiucai will be our great hero in Yunwu Town." County Magistrate Chen said.

Wen Xiucai smiled modestly: "As long as I can help everyone, it's not worth mentioning."

County Magistrate Chen just smiled, you are not worth mentioning, but if someone wants to make you famous, he can only cooperate.

A group of people respectfully took Magistrate Chen back to the carriage. Watching the carriage leave, the village chief still couldn't recover for a long time.

Their village has actually been favored by the county magistrate. This has never happened before. From now on, his status as the village chief will rise in all the villages.

"Brother Xiu Yi." The village chief turned around and wanted to get close to Wen Xiu Yi, but found that there was no one around him. When he looked again, Wen Xiu Yi had already wandered far away.

Seeing that there were still people gathered around to watch the fun, it was obvious that they hadn't seen enough. Even the county magistrate's carriage was out of sight and they were still watching.

"Okay, okay, let's all disperse now. No more work in the fields? We'll be harvesting wheat in a few days. Will we free up space at home?" The village chief yelled, and half of the people dispersed.

When Old Man Wen came down from the mountain, he realized that the county magistrate had left. Such a good opportunity to show off was gone. He was so angry that Old Man Wen even skipped half a bowl of dinner.

However, within a few days, the excitement of the county grandpa’s visit to Gutong Village disappeared, and was replaced by the joy and passion of people preparing for the summer harvest.

This year's grain output is really much higher than in previous years.
