The whole class traveled through time, the prince's wife was exiled to the wasteland and became

Lin Ye also knew the villagers' worries. He said solemnly, "Don't worry, fellow villagers. As the governor of Yunshui County, I will not abandon any of the people. I will not let you starve or leave you alone!"

Village Chief Liu also said earnestly: "Don't worry, everyone. Although our village has suffered heavy losses, we must trust Lord Lin. He will not leave us alone."

"He is still the son-in-law of our Tianshui Village. Has he ever failed us in all these years? Just believe it and it will be over!"

"I heard there was a riot in the neighboring village. We must not cause trouble for Lord Lin. If you meet relatives and friends from other villages, try to persuade them."

After being comforted, everyone calmed down a lot and answered in unison: "Yes, village chief!"

"Don't worry, Master Lin, we support you."

Jiang Lili was deeply moved after seeing Lin Ye's appeal. Such a good official was sent here. Emperor Qingning must have gone crazy after sitting on the throne for too long.

The Zhang family led the people from Zhaoping Marquis's Mansion and Yin Zhen's mother and son to their two homes to rest.

It's getting late today. Tomorrow morning, he and the people from Zhaoping Marquis' Mansion have to go to find the source of the locust plague and kill the insect eggs. Lin Ye will stay at his deceased wife's mother's house, which is on the way to the Zhang family.

His wife's parents had also passed away, and now the house in Tianshui Village was uninhabited, so Lin Ye took his yamen runners with him and went there.

The moonlight is cold.

On the way, Lin Ye was talking to Zhao Pinghou and his group.

He was alone in Lingnan with no one to talk to. Now that he met his mentor, Xin Chong, Marquis of Zhaoping, he finally had someone to confide in and seek help from.

"I have asked someone to rush to submit documents to the court to apply for disaster relief funds. I hope the approval will be issued as soon as possible."

Lin Ye was worried: "But right now the financial resources and grain reserves of the county and prefectural governments can only help the victims for a while, and the landlords will also demand repayment, so the villagers will not have an easy life."

"The most important thing is that the people are running out of food now, and they still have to survive the winter, so eating is a big problem."

Marquis Zhaoping stroked his beard and said, "I saw residents in Langyan Village planting sweet potatoes. This crop is high-yielding and can keep you full. I wonder if Tianshui Village is planting it?"

"Sweet potato seeds were first introduced to Qinglin Mountain from Lingnan!"

Lin Ye was also puzzled when talking about this: "It's not that we haven't bought sweet potato seeds before, but for some reason, once the sweet potatoes are planted in our fields in Yunhai County, they always fail to grow and the yield is very low."

Jiang Lili learned from the conversation between Lin Ye and Marquis Zhaoping that the crop of sweet potatoes was only spread to the Dasheng Dynasty from the southern port at the beginning of this year.

This crop, which seemed very common to Jiang Lili, was still very novel in this dynasty.

Jiang Lili asked, "What about the potatoes?"

Lin Ye was puzzled: "What is a potato?"

"It's potatoes."

Jiang Lili changed her statements several times and confirmed with County Magistrate Lin that potatoes had not yet been introduced to the Great Sheng Dynasty. She exchanged glances with Master Liao.

But let’s first look at what the problem is for not being able to grow sweet potatoes.

Jiang Lili said to Lin Ye: "Can you take us to the field where sweet potatoes were planted in Tianshui Village tomorrow?"

Lin Ye nodded, and suddenly he was looking forward to it. Could it be that these two had a solution? "Okay!"

As they were talking, the group arrived at the door of Zhang's house.

The damage to Zhang Xin and Zhang Dun's families was kept within an acceptable range.

After Zhang Xin's wife delivered persimmons to them, she went home to prepare the beds and tidy up the house.

At this moment, Zhang Xin returned home and brought the good news to his wife. Zhang Xin's wife quickly thanked Jiang Lili and Liao Dabao.

"Mother, aunt, I was the one who brought the benefactors into the village!"

Little Zhang Dun, who was being pulled by his parents, looked at Liao Dabao with admiration, his eyes full of stars: "Can I sleep with my brother Dabao today?"

The adorable Zhang Dun amused everyone.

Jiang Lili smiled. Well, Master Liao has a new little fan.

Zhang Xin still felt like he had survived a catastrophe when he returned home. There was so much land! He had been planning to plant medicinal herbs next season, but now he had to plant crops before he could finish the preparations.

He invited everyone into the house, took out all his treasured tea collection, and poured tea for everyone one by one.

At this moment, Zhang Xin was extremely grateful that he did not look down on the other party because of his appearance and age, otherwise he would be in desperate situation now.

"The moment I saw the locusts sweeping over, I felt like the sky was falling. You are my benefactors, you are my heaven!"

Jiang Lili felt embarrassed by Zhang Xin's exaggerated words of thanks, while Liao Dabao put his hands in his pockets and nodded slightly, looking like he was enjoying the other party's praise very much.

"If you need carpenters, masons, blacksmiths in the future... I will definitely introduce you to a group of reliable and dependable ones!"

Zhang Xin said sincerely: "I don't have any outstanding qualities, I just love to venture out and make friends, and I'm lucky that my friends are good people, upright and righteous."

Jiang Lili only knew Zhang Xin for the first day, but she felt that Zhang Xin was being modest.

Jiang Lili bowed and said, "Thank you, Brother Zhang. I'm sorry to bother you and sister-in-law tonight."

Zhang Xin's wife, Mrs. Wen, said hurriedly, "Don't bother me, don't bother me. It's a blessing for us to have you come to our house."

Chen asked her curiously, "Your husband often travels far and wide, aren't you worried?"

"I am worried, but people have different personalities." Mrs. Wen said with a smile.

She has an oval face. Although her eyes are not big, they look like a crescent moon when she smiles, which makes people feel good when they look at her.

"My husband loves to travel, and I like to play cards and have a few drinks. Every time he goes away, I miss him and look forward to him bringing me some special wines and new gadgets."

Everyone was amused by Wen's humorous words.

Jiang Lili thought that Zhang Xin was also a woman with unique personality.

"I heard that you are going to be exiled to Haizhou. I have three or five friends who are also trying to make a living in Haizhou."

Zhang Xin told Jiang Lili the names, addresses and occupations of his friends one by one. After Jiang Lili communicated with Zhang Xin, she admired this brother Zhang more and more. To use today's words, he is "socially awesome" and even more socially awesome than her.

"Uncle, the locust plague is over, but can our village pay back the rent it owes?"

At this time, Zhang Dun asked a question in a childish way. Zhang Xin, who was originally entertaining the guests, suddenly couldn't laugh. After surviving the disaster, he almost forgot about it.

Jiang Lili asked, "What kind of person is the landlord who rents the land to the villagers of Tianshui Village? Can we talk to the landlord first and ask him to delay the time of collecting the rent?"

Speaking of this, Zhang Xin suddenly had a headache. "Lingnan is a remote place, and the famous families are not like those in the capital. There are only a few families that are like local tyrants, and the He family of Lianzhou is the leader among them."

"The land that our Tianshui Village rents is managed by He Jing, the nephew of the He family's patriarch. He Jing is arrogant and domineering. Lord Lin has come forward to discuss the matter but to no avail. I'm afraid the matter will be difficult to handle."

So it's impossible to convince this person?

Jiang Lili thought that to catch a thief, one must first catch the leader. They were also passing through Lianzhou during their exile, so why not ask about the head of the Lianzhou He family first?

"What hobbies does the Patriarch of the He family have?"

Zhang Xin frowned and thought for a while, then uttered two words: "Love beauty."

Jiang Lili's eyes lit up: Love beauty?
