Dressed as a top-notch girl, leading the whole village to become rich

I have to say that the girls in Daqing are really traditional.

Ye Guo didn't want to embarrass her about this matter, so he signaled to Madam Liu to ask the people around to disperse.

"Okay, now that it's just the two of us, you can talk."

Ye An was grateful for Ye Guo's action, but he turned to the male protagonist and said, "I, I still want to go to the North."

Take back what I said just now. A traditional girl would not rush to send herself to someone's man.

"Go there, and then what? Let him protect you?"

"I will be very obedient and stay in the camp. I can also help manage the Fire Head Camp and make sure they all have good food."

Ye An just wanted to express herself as much as possible, even though she knew that what she said was completely impossible for her to achieve independently.

Ye Guo was powerless to complain about the heroine's evasion of the main issue. Love really makes people blind.

"What you said is secondary. It's not necessary for you."

"The most difficult thing is that you can't go to the North by yourself." Ye Guo went straight to the point, and seeing that the heroine's face became extremely ugly, he eased the situation.

"You can go back and think about the answer to this question and tell me. I have guests now, so I won't send you any more."

Ye An looked up and saw Magistrate Lu coming alone, so he could only retreat obediently.

"Is this the girl who is engaged to Prince Zhou?" County Magistrate Lu asked curiously as he approached.

With such straightforward words, what else did Ye Guo have to hide? He replied helplessly, "Yes, has it spread so widely?"

Magistrate Lu felt that he was being looked down upon, and couldn't help but remind him, "Have you forgotten where I came from?"

Well, he’s from the imperial city, so we can’t afford to offend him.

After finishing his speech, Magistrate Lu still felt unsatisfied and continued eloquently, "I have heard of the talent of Prince Zhou before, and I have also read his articles. He is indeed very brilliant. But I didn't expect that he is also a romantic man. He has even brought the matter to His Majesty, but he still wants to marry her. This girl, it seems, is blessed."

Ye Guo just treated the first few sentences as gossip, but was speechless after hearing the last sentence.

Should she say that he is a male chauvinist or that he favors boys over girls?

No matter what, Ye Guo couldn't help but speak up for the woman, "We don't even know who will be the lucky one."

When County Magistrate Lu heard this, he looked even more expectant, and then heard Ye Guo ask, "Brother Lu, has the decree for the exemption of autumn taxes not arrived yet?"

When it comes to business, Magistrate Lu's face becomes serious, "It hasn't arrived yet. Now is the time for the Northern Expedition when we need food. Can this decree really be issued?"

Ye Guo couldn't help but sneer, "At this time, even opening the warehouse to release grain is fine. If the tax exemption is still not possible, the person in charge is really not afraid of the people rebelling against the government?"

I knew Ye Guo was a courageous person, but I didn't expect her to dare to say anything. Magistrate Lu was so scared that he turned his head around and smiled bitterly, "My aunt, if you want to say this, at least find a place where there is no one."

Ye Guo rolled her eyes at him, and then she heard Magistrate Lu tell her that in the past few days, there had also been incidents of grain robbery among the wealthy families in the city.

In fact, a month ago, the situation was not as serious as it is now, and the rich families had more surplus food.

Some kind-hearted wealthy families began to give out porridge, but as more and more people came to get the porridge, those wealthy families could no longer support themselves and stopped giving out porridge one after another.

Those who originally had no surplus food could avoid starving to death by getting some porridge, but now that the porridge is gone, they are thinking of stealing food.

Three wealthy families in the city were robbed one after another. Two of the families had many servants and large swords, so the damage was not great.

Another household watched helplessly as the granary was robbed and three people died. When people from the county government arrived, all the looters had run away and not a single one was caught.

Although County Magistrate Lu attached great importance to this matter, since those who stole the grain were all refugees and they were trying to cover up the truth, he could not find out anything.

In the end, Magistrate Lu could only compensate the family with some food per person, and captured and killed a few refugees who had killed people, before he was able to temporarily calm his anger.

"Where is the Wang family?" Ye Guo didn't expect the situation to be so bad, and asked involuntarily.

"Don't worry, they are very smart. I don't know who came up with the idea, but every morning they take in 50 to 60 refugees to work in exchange for food. This not only solves the problem of some refugees having nothing to do, but they can also build a house or something. It really kills two birds with one stone."

"Now the county government is also collecting refugees, mainly to dig ditches. We can't let them eat and drink for free, which will easily cause trouble."

"With the ditches there, the disaster in Changhua wouldn't be as serious as it is now."

Ye Guo, the person who came up with the idea behind the scenes, naturally knew the effects of these measures. So she didn't care about them now, but was more concerned about Wang's safety.

"Is the Wang family safe now? My second sister-in-law is going to give birth in a month, and my second brother is not here. There must be no trouble at this time." Ye Guo looked at County Magistrate Lu steadily.

The child in Wang's belly is a treasure. The imperial teacher cannot come back for a while, so he told Magistrate Lu everything.

County Magistrate Lu wished that such an important child was kept under his nose every day and dared not take it lightly.

"It's quite safe, even safer than the county government office. The Wang family already had quite a few servants, and later hired quite a few escorts. And I specifically told the patrol officers to pass by there at least four times a day. If there is any disturbance, they must report it to me directly at the first opportunity."

After hearing what Magistrate Lu said, Ye Guo felt relieved. Although she also wanted to go to the county town to see her second sister-in-law, the affairs of Yejia Village had not been completely dealt with, and she could not get away now.

Magistrate Lu now loves his people like his own children and is fully aware of the situation in Changhua County, but the grain in the granary belongs to Your Majesty.

The county government currently has a batch of grain in stock, but it is becoming less and less as it is used. He himself is not sure when it is appropriate to donate it, and he wants to hear Ye Guo's opinion.

As a person who traveled through the book, I knew that after this wave of drought there would be floods, which would leave people with nothing to harvest. After all, the seedlings that were saved with great difficulty would be drowned after a while. It was really heartbreaking.

Floods are actually more difficult to deal with than droughts. In addition to food, water is most likely to breed bacteria and cause epidemics.

"The population of Changhua does not exceed 100,000, and there are quite a few wealthy families in the city. They must have stored grain. It is time to gather them together and return wealth to the people."

Even if Ye Guo didn't mention it, County Magistrate Lu also wanted to do it. But since the grain of the rich families had been robbed, how could he persuade them to donate grain?
