Of course Fang Ziyan thought about it, and he nodded quickly.

Zhao Xiu hesitated for a moment and nodded.

The Lord asked this because he completely trusted him and wanted to train him. He really wanted to know why the Quanyang County Magistrate came.

Shen Zheng really thought so in her heart, because she knew that no matter how much benefits Quanyang County offered, she would not agree.

It is not difficult to guess the purpose of the Quanyang County Magistrate. If it was for next year's rice seeds, there was no need to come so early.

Therefore, his purpose must be this year's harvest in Tongan County.

If she guessed correctly, this man was quite ambitious and wanted to get a piece of the pie from her.

Therefore, whether Zhao Xiu stays or not will not affect the outcome of today's conversation. We are all captains of police now, so it would be good for him to broaden his horizons.

As for Fang Ziyan, she deliberately let him stay.

The Fang family directly monopolized most of the business in Quanyang County, and was also involved in business affairs in several other counties.

If there is any business that can make money, you can definitely see the Fang family involved.

Once this kind of grain came out, she didn't believe that the Fang family would not be tempted.

If what happened today were to be heard by Fang Wenxiu through Fang Ziyan, she would be able to save herself a lot of trouble in the future.

Seeing that the two men had stayed, Balezhan didn't say much. After all, this was the territory of Tongan County, and he had no say on whether they stayed or left.

He took another sip of tea, thought for a moment, and did not directly state the purpose of his visit. Instead, he said tentatively:

"Sir Shen, two days ago, I heard that the rice you planted in Tong'an County this year has already begun to ear. Those people said that there are more than a dozen ears of rice on one head!"

After saying this, Ba Lezhan laughed and continued, "I didn't believe it at first. How can a rice plant produce more than a dozen ears of rice? Isn't that something that only exists in heaven? But the people of Quanyang County have spread this matter as if it were a miracle. I hope Lord Shen can explain it to me!"

He had received the news that the rice in Tongan County had begun to ear the day before, but to be honest, he did not believe it at first.

Just like what he said just now, how can a rice plant produce more than a dozen ears of rice? It's simply horrifying!

But he also understood that the heading of rice was related to the autumn harvest and people's livelihood of the entire county, and the results would be known in two months, so the person who brought the news had no reason to lie to him.

So when he learned the news the day before, he immediately sent his confidant to Tongan County to find out what was going on.

Who would have thought that every village in Tongan County would have set up a patrol team and checkpoints to enter the village!

The man guarding the checkpoint was extremely dedicated and almost interrogated eight generations of his confidant's ancestors.

After a thorough investigation, it was found that his confidant not only failed to enter the territory of Tong'an County, but also became a familiar face in the patrol team. The people on the patrol team said bluntly that if he dared to sneak into the village, they would catch him and beat him!

This is simply the behavior of a troublemaker! Troublemaker!

However, the situation in Tongan County made him 90% believe that the rice had begun to ear.

He didn't sleep all night yesterday, thinking about this matter all the time.

Isn't it obvious what a dozen ears of rice mean?

As long as there are no major problems during the rice filling process, the minimum yield per mu of rice will be nearly 1,000 kilograms!

He asked himself that he had served as a county magistrate in many states and prefectures all over the country, but he had never heard of any grain yield reaching a thousand kilograms per mu!

What shocked him the most was not the yield per mu of rice, but the fact that the first batch of rice seeds was brought out by the person in front of him...

If asked why he didn't have a nicer attitude when he entered the door before, he could only say that he was stupid and greedy.

At that time, he still felt deep down that his Quanyang County was superior to Tongan County, and that the magistrate of Tongan County could produce good things, but that did not mean that she had the corresponding abilities.

Most people understand that an innocent man is guilty of possessing a treasure. If she cannot protect it, she will end up making things difficult for others.

Before Balezhan came, he was still dreaming. His Quanyang County was the closest to Tongan County, so he was the first to see the moon. Now the opportunity was in front of him.

What if I were the one who enjoyed the success? Wouldn't it be a blessing from heaven that I could have a successful career?

But when he met this person just now, he realized that he was overthinking.

The magistrate of Tongan County is no ordinary person. Under her management, it is only a matter of time before Tongan County soars to great heights thanks to the rice industry.

And the person who has a successful career in the government may not be him, Ba Lezhan.

The conditions he thought he could offer were probably not good enough in her eyes...

So his words just now, although seemingly a question, were actually holding her and the rice high up.

If the person in front of him is happy and willing to take him out to play, then he still has some hope.

But Shen Zheng, who was sitting opposite him, just looked at him and did not answer his question.

Shen Zheng was thinking in his heart, among those who can become officials, none of them are stupid.

Look at what he said. If she was a person who cared about her reputation, she would be flattered to the point of being at a loss.

Shen Zheng lowered her head and smiled. She looked at the ripples in the teacup and spoke slowly:

"Master Ba will know how many ears of rice there are and how much the yield per mu is in two months. There is no need to worry."

Bale Zhan's expression froze, and before he could speak, she continued:

"Hearing is believing, seeing is believing. No matter how much I brag now, it will not be as real as seeing it with your own eyes in two months. When the autumn harvest comes, I will invite the county magistrates of all counties under Liuyang Prefecture to come and watch together. Then, everyone will be able to see enough."

Shen Zheng's words directly exposed Ba Lezhan's thoughts and told him bluntly:

No matter you are from Quanyang County or any other county, I will not take this call.

Zhao Xiu silently gave her a thumbs up behind her back.

As expected of his father, he is tough! Really tough!

Fang Ziyan, who was standing by, roughly understood their conversation. The county magistrate wanted to see the rice in Lord Shen's family, but Lord Shen refused to let him see it.

Balezhan felt a chill down his spine. This man was just as he had felt just now, very difficult to deal with.

But he still encouraged himself silently in his heart: if you are not thick-skinned, you won’t get any meat!

How can I give up my career just because of a rejection?

He chuckled and said calmly, "I have a suggestion that will benefit both of our counties. I wonder if County Magistrate Shen would like to listen to it?"

mutual benefit?

Shen Zheng couldn't imagine what kind of mutually beneficial things could happen between her Tong'an County and Quanyang County now.

Because in her heart, now in his Quanyang County, except that the people live a slightly better life than the people in her Tongan County, there is nothing that can make them envious.

But she will lead the people of Tong'an County to fight for a better life with her own hands.

Why should we rely on Quanyang County?

Shen Zheng was silent for only a moment before she refused: "Thank you, Lord Ba, but this is not necessary. We can get in touch again if we have something to do in the future."

When Balezhan heard this, he became a little anxious. He hadn't even sat down yet, and now they were chasing people away?

Didn't even give him a chance to speak? !

No!
