On the wedding day, I was broken off, so I remarried his uncle

After hearing the whole story, Patriarch Song sat there in a daze, his head buzzing, and he didn't react for a long time!

"Don't worry, Grandpa Clan Leader. You won't need to come out and communicate with the officers. I have discussed this matter with the county magistrate's wife in advance. You just need to be a witness!"

Patriarch Song finally came to his senses. He didn't care about the coming officials!

He asked with a trembling voice, "Can the yield of bean seeds really reach 500 to 600 kilograms per mu?"

"Of course they can. Even though it's dry now and the yield will be reduced, it will still be higher than the current bean varieties!" Song Xile answered affirmatively.

Yang gave a push to Old Song who had remained silent all this time!

Old Song understood what was going on and patted his chest, saying, "It's absolutely true. How dare I tease the county magistrate about this?"

Patriarch Song was so excited that tears streamed down his face and he said “good” three times!

He stood up and excitedly shook Old Song's hand: "Old Song, you handed over the high-yield bean seeds to the county government. This is a great cause. I, as the clan leader, am not as good as you!"

Old Song blushed when he was praised by the Song clan leader, and said rather embarrassedly: "Well, anyway, I didn't hand over these bean seeds for nothing, the master also promised a reward!"

The Song clan leader said with a fierce face: "Isn't this natural? You can give up such precious bean seeds in such a serious situation. That is a great cause. If our Nanyun County can successfully survive this drought, you will be the first to contribute!"

Old Song scratched his head embarrassedly. He wanted to say, "Uncle, you are overthinking it." But then he remembered that the origin of the bean seeds should not be revealed, so he could only swallow the words back!

As they were talking, the two children who were squatting and playing at the door saw a team of carriages and horses stopped in front of their house!

The little fellow ran back to the yard, shouting, "Grandpa, there are a lot of people on horses outside!"

Song Xile and her husband looked at each other and realized that the officials from the county government had arrived!

The Song family didn't dare to be negligent, and a group of people rushed out to greet them!

The village head ran into the courtyard first and said to Old Song, "The county magistrate is here, why don't you go out and greet him!"

Old Song was immediately frightened to the point of trembling in his hands and feet. He originally thought that the government would only send a few officers to his house, but he did not expect that the county magistrate would come in person!

County Magistrate Zhou naturally felt uneasy about leaving such a big matter to his subordinates!

And only if he takes personal action can he build momentum for this high-yield bean variety and attract more attention to this high-yield bean variety!

Old Song ran out of the door in a panic. When he saw Magistrate Zhou, who was wearing an official robe and a black gauze hat, his face turned pale with fright. He stammered, "Sir... Sir, I... I am sorry for not coming to meet you in person..."

Seeing how nervous he was, County Magistrate Zhou interrupted him nonchalantly, "It is my fault for coming here today. You don't need to be nervous, old man!"

County Magistrate Zhou did not go to the Song family's courtyard, but stood outside the gate and asked, "I heard that your family has high-yield bean seeds. Is that true?"

Old Song was so nervous that he couldn't speak, he just kept nodding!

Song Xile knew that this wouldn't work. The county magistrate was standing outside the door and talking to them, hoping to spread the matter!

She tugged at the corner of Yun You's clothes, motioning him to come forward and answer.

Chen Yunyou understood. He stepped forward, bowed to the county magistrate, and said apologetically, "Please forgive me, my father-in-law is too nervous. I will reply on his behalf. My father-in-law's family does have high-yield bean seeds!"

County Magistrate Zhou looked at Chen Yunyou with satisfaction and continued to ask, "I heard that the high-yield bean seed can produce 500 to 600 per mu? Is this true?"

"I dare not deceive you, sir, yes!"

The two spoke in quite loud voices, and the villagers from Songjia Village who had been following to watch the fun gasped when they heard what they said!

Someone dug his ears in disbelief, and then asked his companions in a low voice, "Did I hear it right? How many kilograms of bean seeds does Uncle Song produce per acre?"

"It is said to be five or six hundred kilograms!"

“Wouldn’t that be higher than the yield of rice?”

"Pinch me now, am I dreaming?"

“Ouch, that hurts…”

Seeing that the effect he wanted had been achieved, County Magistrate Zhou said, "Come on, take me to have a look!"

A group of people followed County Magistrate Zhou into the Song family. The villagers did not dare to follow them into the yard, and all lay on the wall of the Song family's house and looked inside!

The courtyard wall was not very tall to begin with, and it could not stop the villagers who wanted to find out what was going on!

Old Song directed his son to carry out a bag of bean seeds, and he personally held a handful of orange-yellow round bean seeds and presented them to County Magistrate Zhou.

"My lord, look!"

Even though County Magistrate Zhou did not farm himself, he could tell that this kind of bean was different from any other kind he had ever seen. Not only was it golden in color, but it was also round and plump, and quite large in size!

County Magistrate Zhou originally had some concerns in his heart, but after seeing the bean seeds, he completely put them to rest!

He turned around and pointed at the head of the village in a good mood and said, "Look and see if these bean seeds are different from the ones you have at home!"

At this time, the head of the village was still immersed in shock and had not recovered. After being reminded by the chief of the Song clan beside him, he woke up as if from a dream and hurriedly pulled the chief of the Song clan forward to check!

This is different from the county magistrate who is not good at farming!

He is an old farmer who is used to farming. The most important factor for a good harvest, besides the weather and fertilizer, is the seed!

This bean variety is obviously a good one. He has never seen such a good bean variety in his decades of life!

The village head said excitedly: "Sir, having such high-yield bean seeds is a blessing for the people of Nanyun County!"

After seeing the bean seeds with his own eyes, Patriarch Chen was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes!

The villagers of Songjia Village who were standing outside the wall and watching the scene in the yard were even more eager. If the county magistrate had not been there, they would have wanted to go forward immediately to see the beans that were more productive than rice!

After some exaggeration, County Magistrate Zhou couldn't help but laugh heartily.

He kindly asked Old Song, "Would you be willing to give me these bean seeds? Help me stabilize the grain prices in the city!"

"If you are willing, I can exchange thirty acres of land with you, and give you twenty taels of silver as a reward for the bean seeds. How do you think?"

Old Song nodded his head quickly, "Yes, yes, but isn't this too expensive for you, sir?"

Old Song, how could you not be unwilling?

In his opinion, these bean seeds all belonged to the county government. He just put on a show with the county magistrate, and he got so many benefits for nothing!

This was simply pie in the sky, and it just happened to hit him on the head!

County Magistrate Zhou waved his hand nonchalantly, "You have done a great job growing high-yield crops. Asking you to sell them to me is already a bit unreasonable. This reward is of course indispensable!"

Actually, Zhou Ling was a little reluctant to spend more money, but what his wife said was right, this matter had to be handled openly so as not to harm his reputation as a county magistrate!

He was also afraid of being accused of abusing his power for personal gain and seizing the people's wealth!
