The county magistrate's daughter only wants to farm
Chapter 39: The County Lady's Good Methods
Song Ruorou touched her round belly, thinking that she really couldn't drink any more, so she stopped struggling.
However, seeing that there was still a lot left in the large porcelain bowl, he rolled his eyes and asked Gu Yin:
"Can I take some back?" After saying that, seeing Gu Yin glaring at him, he waved his hand and said, "I don't want to drink it anymore. I'll take it back for my cousins to try."
"That's easy, but don't take these. Go get the ones that haven't been touched." Gu Yin paused and added, "By the way, bring some for Wei Ciyuan as well."
They made a lot, and everyone in the family drank it, with a lot left over.
Song Ruorou happily went to find her cousin with milk tea, and saw Wei Ciyuan examining her cousin's leg. She was no longer surprised.
After waiting for them to finish their work, he said to them in a mysterious tone:
"Guess what I brought you back?"
"Such an obvious food box, what else could it contain except food?" Wei Ciyuan snorted disapprovingly.
"This is not ordinary food. I guarantee you have never eaten it before." Song Ruorou raised her chin and said proudly.
"Oh?"
"Huh, this was made by Ah Yin and I together."
"Ah Yin? Miss Gu? When did you two become so familiar with each other?" Wei Ciyuan looked surprised.
"Oh, that's not important. Come and try this milk tea." Song Ruorou couldn't wait to let them try it.
Wei Ciyuan: ...Women’s friendship is really strange.
However, seeing Song Ruorou taking out two bamboo tubes like she was presenting a treasure, his curiosity was also piqued. He took the bamboo tubes, took a look at the bamboo tubes inside, and turned to look at her in confusion.
"Drink it! Why are you looking at me? Just suck it." Song Ruorou urged.
Jun Lan lowered his head and took a sip. It was cool at the entrance, with a strong milky aroma mixed with some tea flavor. It was indeed novel.
"How is it? How is it? Delicious, right?" Song Ruorou asked, blinking her big eyes.
Jun Lan's brows relaxed and he nodded.
Seeing this, Song Ruorou covered her mouth and smiled secretly. Her cousin liked sweets, which she discovered by accident. It was also because of this that she wanted to bring some back for him to try.

Gu Yin hurried to the county government office and ran into Xiao Si who was beside her father. She asked where her father was and then ran away.
"Dad, have you found everyone? When can we start work?" Gu Yinren shouted before entering the house.
"Hey, Princess, Lord Gu has a guest..." Qingfeng caught up with Gu Yin, but before he could finish his words, he realized it was too late.
There were seven or eight men with serious faces sitting on both sides of the hall, and they all looked at Gu Yin.
Gu Yin was about to apologize when Gu Huaiyi waved at her:
"Yin'er, come and listen too."
Several people realized that this was the newly appointed county lady by the emperor, and hurriedly stood up and stepped forward to pay their respects.
"Dad, what are you talking about?" Gu Yin sat next to her father.
"These people are all famous family heads in Ning County. They are here to inquire about the reconstruction of the county town. It's a good opportunity for you to listen too." Gu Huaiyi gave a brief introduction.
A middle-aged man in dark blue brocade clothes stood up from the left and bowed to Gu Huaiyi:
"Master Gu, we are discussing important matters in the county. Is it inappropriate for a woman like the county lady to be here?"
"Hey~ Master Xie, you don't know that the reconstruction of the county town is still led by Yin'er. She is here to answer everyone's questions and resolve confusion." Gu Huaiyi performed Tai Chi.
Patriarch Xie no longer dwelled on this matter and stated the purpose of their trip:
"Master Gu, we came here to ask for an explanation. The reconstruction of the county town requires extensive digging of canals and construction of roads. What will happen to our business?"
"Yes, Lord Gu also knows that Ning County is the closest and fastest road to the capital. If it is dug up, how can we transport our goods?"
"If we can't ship the goods out, we'll suffer a huge loss."
Once someone started to speak, others followed suit to complain.
"Where did you hear the news that the entire county is going to be dug up?" Gu Yin felt something was not right as he listened.
"Isn't it?" The people below looked at each other in bewilderment. Could it be that the information they received was wrong? This shouldn't be the case.
"We have to dig, but we won't dig all at once." Gu Yin explained, "Don't worry, the road for transporting goods will be reserved for you."
"What do you mean?" the Patriarch of the Zhang family asked.
Since all the important figures in Ning County were here, Gu Yin briefly explained the construction plan of Ning County, which could reassure them and prevent them from causing any trouble later. The future development of Ning County still needs to be driven by these wealthy people.
“I believe that after reconstruction, Ning County will become the cleanest and most orderly county in the Daji Dynasty.” Gu Yin concluded.
"Is what Miss Gu just mentioned about building a market true?" Patriarch Zhang asked the question that concerned him.
"Of course it's true?" Gu Yin nodded.
“Is the venue for sale now?”
Gu Yin looked at her father and said a few words in a voice that only the two of them could hear. After receiving her father's approving nod in response, she said:
"The market site will only be rented and not sold. And it can only be rented out after it is built."
"Why is this?" someone wondered.
"For the future of the county government." Gu Yin smiled slightly. She didn't want to say that Ning County was small to begin with, and selling the land would allow them to monopolize it.
"When will the market be built?" After listening to Gu Yin's plan, they knew very well that if Ning County could really be built as Gu Yin said and roads connecting to the surrounding cities were opened, doing business in the future would be much easier.
"Well... everyone knows that the county government is short of funds, so we can only take it slowly." Gu Yin began to laugh, "But... someone has already said in advance that they will donate a sum of money to support the construction of the county..."
The people below were stunned when they heard this. Donate money?
"My Zhang family donated 3000 taels of silver, hoping that the county government can reserve a good position for us." The head of the Zhang family made the decision in a moment.
After hearing this, the others realized that they were all smart people and it was just a matter of spending money to buy resources.
There is gain only when there is sacrifice. Other family heads also stepped forward to donate money. Some donated two thousand taels, and some donated one thousand taels.
The combined donations from several families were close to 20,000 taels! These families are really rich, Gu Yin sighed silently in her heart.
"This... according to regulations, the seat cannot be reserved. If other people find out, they will cause trouble for the county government." Gu Yin hesitated.
"Then everyone will compete fairly, and the money will be used to support the construction of roads in the county. I hope the county will be built soon."
Everyone present here understands the rhetoric. On the surface, everything is easy to say, but in the end, whoever has more money has more choices.
The several family owners who came to seek justice walked out of the county government office. When they were illuminated by the sunlight, they realized: Didn’t they come here to seek justice? Why did they pay so much money?
And they donated willingly, really...
The county lord has good means!
