The county magistrate's daughter only wants to farm

The man slapped his thigh and said loudly, "Yes, it is like a tiger with a strong wind. The rice grains fell into the grain bucket with a clatter, just like rain."

The others listened with great interest. Although they had heard that the county lord had invented the thresher, they had never used it. Most of them were ordinary farmers and could not afford it.

Everyone seemed to have opened up their chatterboxes, scrambling to brag about what they had seen and heard.

When the discussion gradually died down, the old man asked the county magistrate, "Sir, when will this sewer be used?"

"This has not been decided yet. It will probably be usable once it's all cleared. Why are you asking this?" It is not something he can decide when the sewer can be put into use. It mainly depends on the speed of construction.

"Haha, I'm thinking that while I have free time now, I'll dig the passage at home first, and then I can use it directly when the county magistrate's sewer is opened." The old man happily expressed his plan.

"You are so well-planned, you even thought of this in advance." Cheng Xingwang praised the old man, "But there is no rush. The county government will issue a notice soon and tell everyone how to repair it."

Unexpectedly, the old man glared at me and said unhappily, "What? It's just a ditch. Who can't dig one? I've dug more ditches than you've stepped into pits."

Cheng Xingwang was not frightened by the old man's eyes, and comforted him: "Don't worry, old man, this time it may be really different from what you have dug before, you can wait for the announcement before making a decision, it will only take two days."

"Okay, then I'll wait for two days and see what else you can do with a ditch." The old man was straightforward and didn't ask any more questions.

Two days later,

"Go, go, go. There is a new announcement at the city gate."

"What announcement?"

"I don't know. I heard it was about county planning or something."

"What does the county planning have to do with us ordinary people?"

"That's a big deal. Every household must follow this."

"What's the matter that requires such a big fuss?"

“You’ll find out if you go and see it.”

"Let's go then."

Similar conversations were heard in the streets and alleys of Ning County. People ran around to tell each other, and then swarmed to the city gate.

Gu Yin, Song Ruorou, and Ye Ningxin had already been sitting on the second floor of the teahouse at the city gate drinking tea. Looking at the crowds of people at the city gate, Song Ruorou couldn't help but sigh, "So many people."

"Ayin, is the county government going to announce something big today?" Ye Ningxin asked curiously.

Gu Yin nodded and replied, "Well, the sewerage in Ning'an Street has been almost completed, and it's time to move on to the next step."

"What action?" Song Ruorou interrupted.

"Listen, the following will be announced soon."

At the gate, Gao Fei was standing on a table, posting notices on the city wall. However, before he finished posting, the people standing in the front row asked:

"Sir, what is written on it?"

"Yes, sir, please read it quickly."

Gao Fei posted the notice, then picked up the loudspeaker that had been hanging on his waist and put it to his mouth.

When the people saw Gao Fei taking out a trumpet-shaped object, they were puzzled. What was this strange thing for?

However, they soon found out the use of this thing. Gao Fei's voice came out from the tool: "The county government has ordered that the sewers on Ning'an Street, the main road in Ning County, have been basically completed. In order to make the county cleaner and tidier, first, every household is required to cooperate in the construction of the sewers. In the future, all domestic sewage, feces and urine will be discharged out of the city through the sewers. At that time, the county government will no longer arrange personnel to collect feces and water."

When they heard that every household had to dig a sewer, the crowd suddenly became noisy.

"The construction of the sewer needs to be done according to the requirements of the county government, and test blocks or blue bricks need to be laid inside." Gao Fei continued.

"Lay the blue bricks!"

"What?" The person standing at the back couldn't hear clearly, so he asked the person in the front.

"The county government requires every household to build sewers and lay blue bricks!"

"Oh my god, who has the money to buy bricks to pave a ditch?"

"That's what I mean. Why is the county government so unreasonable? Isn't this bullying us ordinary people?"

"The county government oppresses the common people!" The content became more and more outrageous as it was spread to later people. Even the people behind had no idea what the previous announcement said. How could they bear to hear the people in the front shouting indignantly that the county government oppressed the common people?

They all protested loudly. Gao Fei was about to explain the second point, but the crowd behind him kept rushing forward, waving their hands.

"The county government bullies the common people!"

"The county government bullies the common people!"

"The county government bullies the common people!"

The angry shouts of protest from the crowd suddenly resounded through the city gate. Gao Fei, standing on the table, was dumbfounded when he saw this scene. What was going on?

After realizing what was going on, he quickly shouted, "Everyone, please be patient and listen to me!"

However, the angry crowd would not listen to him.

The three people in the teahouse also saw this scene. Song Ruorou immediately grabbed Gu Yin's arm nervously and asked worriedly, "Ayin, what should we do?"

Hearing Song Ruorou's question, Gu Yin frowned and said, "Let's see first."

She didn't know what to do. Although she participated in the discussion of the announcement issued by the county government, she did not participate in the announcement of the announcement. She was not sure whether her father had made a contingency plan.

However, looking at the surging crowd below, she deeply realized what it meant that water can carry a boat but can also capsize it. If she accidentally aroused public anger, the angry people would destroy the government.

Ye Ningxin was also looking at the crowd below at this time. Her usual dimples were gone, and her fair and tender round face looked towards the city gate with worry. In the past, when his father issued an announcement, he would arrange people in advance to prevent such things from happening.

"Here it comes!" Ye Ningxin was suddenly delighted, and dimples appeared on both sides of her cheeks.

Gu Yin and Song Ruorou also saw a group of police officers with swords running out of the city gate and rushing towards the rioting crowd. When the people near the city gate saw a group of guards running over, their shouts suddenly became quieter.

"The county magistrate is here, everyone be quiet!"

"The county magistrate is here, everyone be quiet!"

"The county magistrate is here, everyone be quiet!"

The detectives, led by Captain Ding, ran into the crowd and shouted loudly. The people who heard the shouts gradually stopped shouting. At this time, a loud and powerful shout suddenly came from the crowd: "The county magistrate is here!"

This time, the other people who were still shouting finally heard it. They all looked for the source of the sound curiously, as if they wanted to confirm whether the county magistrate had really come.
