There were not many people at home, so there was only one table for the seafood feast, without distinction between men and women.

He also sent some to Leng Zejin and Master Wang, and added a note: seafood is cold in nature and pregnant women should not eat it.

The maid who was in charge of accompanying He Ruoshui described the situation that day vividly, which made Leng Ruoxue regret for a long time, as it was a pity that she did not see it.

Every day Leng Zejin would come to accompany Leng Yuxuan for a while, and also talk to Eunuch Wang.

Leng Ruoxue thought it was normal. For the sake of his future, it was reasonable for his father to get to know more people in the capital.

Originally, He Ruoshui had not come back, and Leng Ruoxue was planning to invite her father as well. But now that she has returned to the village, it is not easy to invite him.

There were six people at the table: Liu Ruxu, Leng Ruoxue, Leng Yuxuan, Nangong Xu, University Student Liu, and Eunuch Li.

I left one portion for Mrs. Wang and Manager Liu. The restaurant also has seafood, but the variety is not that complete.

There was her family on the left, and they sat by themselves on the right, so Leng Ruoxue didn't have to worry about the seats.

“It’s not easy to transport this seafood so fresh.”

Nangong Yi probably knew that Leng Ruoxue had gone to Xihai County, where the nearest port was.

After a 10-day journey, even if it was preserved in ice, it still wasn’t that fresh.

"We were lucky. We just brought the fish back from the boat and put them in seawater and ice. We rode very fast all the way and found quite a few of them alive when we got to the villa."

“This method of transporting seafood is fresh and effective.”

Academician Liu exclaimed that he had never eaten such fresh seafood.

Not to mention Eunuch Li.

It’s not their turn to have this seafood.

"I was out when Eunuch Li came. This seafood feast can be regarded as a welcome dinner for Eunuch Li."

"You are too polite, my lady. This is the first time I have eaten seafood. I didn't expect to eat something so fresh. It is worth the trip."

Eunuch Li did not dare to put on airs, because everyone present, except Leng Yuxuan, had a higher official rank than him.

Moreover, there is a great god here.

Except for the first day he arrived, when Yongliu Villa hosted a banquet and he sat in the seat of honor, he never dared to eat at the same table with the person in front of him afterwards.

"Although Princess Huiguo is the first princess to have a fief, Qingyuan County is really poor. Now that there is no relief from the court, the people are miserable!"

Leng Ruoxue: What does a county lady like me have to do with the imperial court's relief? She only knew that she was given the title of county lady, and Liu Ruxu did not tell her about the fiefdom. In Liu Ruxu's understanding, the fiefdom of a county lady is the county.

"The county lord can decide on her own taxes and official posts in her fiefdom, and can also deploy 500 soldiers. However, Qingyuan County is too poor. For more than ten years, it has been relying on relief from the court to barely survive. Now that the fiefdom belongs to the county lord, under normal circumstances, the court will not allocate relief funds every year, unless there is a major natural disaster, there will be some food relief."

Scholar Liu thought Leng Ruoxue didn't know the responsibilities and rights of a county lord, so he gave her some basic knowledge.

Leng Ruoxue: I said so. A cement recipe can be exchanged for two rewards. This emperor is too generous. Love is a trap. I haven’t figured out Lengjia Village yet, and now he gives me a county town?

Leng Ruoxue glared at Nangong Xu.

Nangong Xu: It has nothing to do with me. It was Old Liu who tricked you.

However, for the sake of Liu Ruxu's imperial edict, she really couldn't just ignore it.

"The crops in this field will be harvested in two months. We planted them late this year and we don't know if we can get any harvest."

Scholar Liu sighed.

"Winter is coming soon, and there won't be any wild vegetables in the mountains. It's difficult!"

......

Leng Ruoxue finally left with a gloomy face.

"Mr. Liu, is this inappropriate?"

Nangong Yi was the one who took the blame. He had originally wanted to ask Liu Daxueshi to give the reward to Liu Ruxu, but the court gave it to her and also gave her a burden.

"Haha, don't worry, the girl will find a way."

Scholar Liu has more confidence in Leng Ruoxue than Nangong Yi does.

Leng Ruoxue, who had only eaten one meal at home, went out again.

Everyone thought Leng Ruoxue went to the county government office, but in fact, Leng Ruoxue went to Xishan.

After she placed the explosives, she set them off. Without looking at what was happening on the mountain, she returned to the villa to see everyone's reaction. It was good, and no one mentioned any unusual noises.

She wanted to store the rocks that were blasted out into the space. The beach in Space 3 was not in use yet, and the location was big enough. She put the rocks in there first, which would be perfect for repairing kilns or houses.

Space three is a very barren island. There is nothing but sand and sea water, not even a tree.

It is impossible for her to blow up the island and repair it. If she did that, Space Three would become an ocean.

A day later, she arrived at the side that had been bombed, and collected stones and made additional explosives along the spot where she had bombed. With the first supply of explosives, the second time the road was much easier to walk on, and it was also much easier to place the explosives.

It took a total of two days to reach Xihai County. According to the plan in the document, the road from Xishan to the port would take about four days. If I build the road in a straight line like this, and if I also finish building the road near Lengjia Village, it would probably only take two days.

It took another three days to go back and set up the key explosives.

After calculating the approximate time for the explosion of the explosives, he returned to the villa and went to the county government office with his maid and guards.

He also brought along Grand Secretary Liu to ask for his guidance.

Just as Leng Ruoxue was handing over the matter to the county magistrate, there was a loud bang and the ground shook.

The county magistrate's first reaction was: God is angry. He cannot bear to hand over a county to a little girl. Poor Qingyuan County has experienced insect plagues, droughts, snow disasters, and now a geological disaster has added to it. It is almost ruined.

But I only dare to think about it in my heart and dare not say it out loud.

"The ground is shaking. Which direction?"

"East Side"

"Let's not hand it over today. Let's go check if there are any casualties first."

Leng Ruoxue led his men and hurriedly ran towards the east of the county town.

After leaving the county town, I ran into Leng San who came to deliver a letter. "County Master, the village chief said that there was a landslide on the west mountain, and we haven't dared to go up to check the situation yet."

Leng Ruoxue: "How is the situation in the village? Is there any damage?"

"The village chief said that fortunately the houses were newly built and there was no damage."

Leng Ruoxuesong said, "Since we are here, let's go back to the villa together. From now on, the main office of the county government will be located in Yongliu Villa.

, bring the account books here."

Leng Ruoxue asked about the situation roughly. There was actually nothing to hand over at the county government. The warehouse was empty, and there were still some debts owed outside. Not to mention the warehouse, there was not even a mouse to be found.

The county magistrate was new, having only been here for over a month and had just taken over the county government.

It is said that the previous county magistrate was escorted back to Beijing for embezzling disaster relief grain.

When they arrived at Yongliu Villa, Juyuan was designated as the temporary office of the county government. The new county magistrate was asked to make arrangements and just left two yamen runners there to report the news.

What could the new county magistrate say? He went to find Liu Zongguan and asked for a horse and ox cart to move the things.
