What she didn't know was that Xu Changqing's status as the Imperial Master had been determined when he was born. He inherited the title of Imperial Master not because of the Xu family, but because of the place where he was born.

He was born in Piaomiao Mountain, and all the imperial masters of Daqing were selected from there.

And he is the youngest and the one who has passed the level.

So, he came down the mountain and became the national teacher of Daqing.

Piaomiao Mountain actually teaches everything. According to his master, the reason why he is a Taoist priest is for convenience.

Tao follows nature!

He believed every word Ye An said, but he could naturally distinguish the truth and falsehood in what he said later.

Today's trip to Yejia Village was really fruitful.

To gain something, you must give something.

Xu Changqing put down the teacup in his hand and stood up for the first time. He slowly walked to a place half a meter away from her before stopping.

"Ye An, if you start over again, I'm sure you'll realize that one's destiny can be changed."

His voice was clear and steady. "If you want to enter the imperial city, you can use this item to let me help you once."

Ye An looked up in disbelief and saw a wooden plaque with intricate patterns carved on it placed in his palm.

There was too much information in this sentence. She was so excited that her whole body was shaking. She carefully took the wooden sign and prostrated herself again, "If the Imperial Master needs me, Ye An will definitely fight to the death."

Such a smart move made Xu Changqing's eyebrows move slightly. "Write down everything you have today in detail, and write down the time and place as clearly as possible. Someone will come to pick it up in three days."

"Remember, my identity is not something that can be revealed to outsiders."

"Ye An will keep this in mind."

She walked out normally, and was even respectful. After Xu Changqing left, she still bowed without any disrespect when he couldn't see her.

The village head and others who were watching on the side were amazed.

Although Ye An has returned to the village, his household registration is in the county town, so as the head of the village, it is not appropriate for him to be involved in too many things.

As for Xu Changqing, he didn't have to worry about him at all. The accommodation and food problems that he had been worrying about were solved when the county government's legal advisor drove over in person.

After sending them away together, Ye An thought the village head would ask her a few questions, but unexpectedly he said to her with a smile, "Xiao An, you have made great progress. If you meet people from the clan in the county in the future, please take care of them."

It seemed as if her silly and crazy scenes had never appeared in front of them.

"You don't have to explain, I will do the same." Ye An nodded, and returned to his past, gentle and lovely look.

The head of the village told his family, "Shuanzi, it's getting late. Light a torch and send Xiao An back safely."

The two of them remained silent all the way and didn't mention it.

The next day, when Ye Guo woke up, he heard Xiaowan say that the village head uncle had come.

His sleepy eyes widened slightly, "Did you say anything?"

Xiao Wan shook her head, and the silver pearl hairpin on her head swayed. "I think he was asking about the rice planting! The village head started talking to my father as soon as he came in, and then he said he wanted to talk to you."

Yesterday, Xu Changqing was standing with the village head, but no one knew how much the village head was going to say to her.

"Uncle Lizheng, have you had breakfast? Xiaowan made some meat wontons. I'll give you a bowl to try."

After she had tidied herself, she smiled as soon as she entered the room. Xiaowan told her that the seedlings planted yesterday were basically all growing up today. She couldn't help but be happy.

The head of the village also laughed and watched Xiaowan coming in and out. "Then I won't be polite. Let's talk while we eat."

Xiaowan was a person who could read people's expressions. After putting all her things down, she closed the door, sat down on the stool under the eaves, and started spinning the loom.

As expected, what the director wanted to talk about was the meeting between Xu Changqing and the heroine.

What surprised her was that just a single encounter actually forced the heroine to act crazy and stupid.

Ye Guo’s previous guess was also accurate. The heroine had met the imperial master in her previous life.

This also confirmed Xu Changqing's identity again.

"Uncle head of the village, you don't have to worry too much. Since Xiao An was able to escape safely, it's not a big deal." These words were not entirely meant to comfort, but rather to state the facts.

She had a hunch that the heroine and Xu Changqing were getting along well. It would take a while for her to sort out the situation between him and her.

Ye Guo then took the initiative to talk about the trivialities of the village, "Now that every household in the village has extra money, they need to store more food at home."

"Lookout towers and the like should be built sooner rather than later." Ye Guo had learned before that the safety issues in Daqing villages were basically decided by each village itself, with zero control.

For example, wealthy villages not only have various military facilities such as watchtowers, but also organize regular training. The closer to the border, the stronger the defense capabilities.

Anyone who reads the author's setting will find it outrageous.

But in fact, Ye Guo, who has read the whole book, knows that this setting is entirely for the purpose of achieving the heroine's service to the country and the people, as well as the hero's military achievements.

If the control is too strict, the heroine can't even spend her money on the hero, so how can she continue to be entangled?

Although it was complained about before, this setting now also gives Ye Guo room to maneuver.

"I have discussed this with the elders a few days ago. There are also some old guys in the village who have retired from the battlefield. How to arrange the defense of the village will be up to them."

"Each household first goes to the county town to buy the iron that is in their share. Then they hire someone to help make special farm tools."

"Master Wu is also looking for one. But everyone's main focus right now is still on selling oil."

The village head explained the current situation one by one. Ye Guo nodded and asked, "How many people in the village are planning to buy houses in the county town?"

The village head blushed with shame because his family also planned to buy one.

The price of soybeans has increased now, and it is only 8 wen per catty. Five catties of beans cost 40 wen, and two catties of oil can be sold for 200 wen, with a net profit of 160 wen.

And it’s the kind that’s in short supply.

In just such a short period of time, every household in Yejia Village received hundreds of taels of silver.

If it weren't for the strict management in the village, which even prohibits visiting relatives, let alone going to the market or the county town... otherwise, the village would have changed a lot long ago.

"This is indeed a big problem. Most of the elderly in the village want to stay, so many have applied to split up recently. Most of the young people probably want to wait until the soybean oil can no longer be sold before they start moving."

Ye Guo remained silent, focusing on recalling the plot describing the famine in the book. After a while, he spoke, "I would like to advise the older generation to move if possible. Yejia Village is too remote."

Village head: "So, your family is planning to move too?"

Ye Guo was stunned by the question. He lowered his head and laughed before continuing to eat his breakfast. "No, I plan to be a big landlord here. Uncle Lizheng, if anyone wants to sell land, you must tell me as soon as possible."
