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

The houses in Yejia Village are the best in the area. If it weren't for the last resort, there is no way they would give them up and live in the cabin on the mountain.

So this special situation can only be a natural disaster. What kind of natural disaster would require living in a high-lying place?

The answer is obvious.

Although there had been speculations before, Ye Guo did not add the number of people to the construction of the tree house, nor did he let the guards participate.

So speculation is just speculation, until today.

It was clearly raining, which was a good thing in everyone's eyes, but Ye Guo didn't have a smile on his face.

During previous droughts, she had always been calm and composed, not showing any signs of panic.

Now, they had to ride horses to the county town in the rain. Before this, Magistrate Lu came personally every time.

There was too much disbelief in his heart. Before leaving, Liang Yuan couldn't help but look back at Ye Guo.

I saw that she was still making tea smoothly, but her face was stiff and expressionless.

The carriage went farther and farther away in the rain, and Liang Yuan's heart gradually sank to the bottom.

Like Yejia Village, Changhua County is now even more lively than during the Spring Festival. Many people have set up tables for offerings in front of their homes and shops, and you can smell the scent of incense and candles mixed with water vapor from time to time.

The soup kitchen at the city gate has not stopped operating, but there are not many people queuing up. After finishing one bowl, you can get another one.

As the sky gradually darkened, the lanterns in the yamen had already been lit early. Occasionally, a few yamen runners could be seen going in and out in the rain, with relaxed smiles on their faces.

As soon as Ye Guo's carriage stopped in front of the main gate of the yamen, someone noticed it and hurried to report it.

So before Ye Guo got off the carriage, County Magistrate Lu had already hurried out to greet him, shouting.

"A rare guest, Xiaoguo, why are you here in person? Come in."

Magistrate Lu smiled like Maitreya Buddha. If it weren't for the difference between men and women, he would have been so happy that he wanted to help Ye Guo get off the carriage with his own hands.

Raining is such a joyful thing.

It turned out that he also thought that praying for rain was useless, but after a long time, he became a little hesitant, and then, the rain came.

The use of livestock for sacrifice was omitted.

Ye Guo held Madam Liu's hand, Guard Lu held an umbrella, and several royal guards followed behind him. They escorted Ye Guo inside.

"It's God's will that it finally rained. The food donated by the wealthy families has not been used up yet. The remaining food can be exchanged for crops, so that everyone can grow more food."

"This time I will organize all the village heads and let them go to Yejia Village to learn the methods of germination and transplanting rice seedlings." County Magistrate Lu made tea himself and poured a cup for Ye Guo while talking incessantly.

After he finished speaking, Ye Guo didn't respond for a long time. Only then did he notice that Ye Guo's face was solemn, without any joy at all.

He suddenly realized that Ye Guo's appearance here at this time was an action in itself that was very unreasonable.

"Xiaoguo, what are you doing?" For a moment, he didn't know how to start the conversation appropriately.

Although he was the county magistrate, most of the time when he encountered difficulties and problems, he wanted to seek Ye Guo's opinion first.

Now, she looks bad...

County Magistrate Lu was very panicked.

"Send someone to check the county annals to see whether there has been a flood in Changhua." Ye Guo began to give orders.

The latter didn't think there was anything wrong and quickly asked someone to find relevant information.

Ye Guo also knew that this thing could not be found in a short time.

So he asked another question, "What happened in the Imperial City recently? Did Master Xu write to you individually?"

"Yes, yes, the letter just arrived. And just as I got the letter from the Imperial Master, it started to rain. The letter hasn't been opened yet. I'll get it for you right away." He didn't dare to delegate this matter to others, so he trotted into the study room himself.

Ye Guo opened the letter and read it quickly. After finishing it, her face finally looked better.

"You can take a look too. This is why I came here at this time."

County Magistrate Lu only knew before that the Imperial Master had the ability to predict the future. But after meeting Ye Guo, he witnessed that his predictive ability was even more powerful.

Then, after reading the letter, his face looked as if he had been struck by lightning, and he almost wanted to cry, "Why is my life so miserable?"

Ye Guo: Do you think that you are kept here for you to enjoy a good life?

"Just after the drought, there is a flood. Does God not want the people to survive? No, I have to tell my people to stop sending food indiscriminately. Not even a pound is allowed."

His words reminded Ye Guo of what Old Man Ye said.

So, is it a tradition here to send food when one is happy?

After Magistrate Lu went out, he came back after a long while and then sat there with a look of despair on his face.

"Xiao Guo, since the Imperial Master has already observed such a major event, why hasn't the official document been issued yet?"

It wasn't that Magistrate Lu was looking for trouble, but even though he read the letter, he still had a lucky mentality in his heart.

Ye Guo glanced at him and took a sip of hot tea. "You should ask His Majesty this question, not me."

"Master Xu said a long time ago that the tax exemption decree had been issued, so why has it not been issued yet?"

"And there's no trace of the Third Prince you mentioned. Could it be that he has returned to the Imperial City?"

Speaking of the third prince, County Magistrate Lu was also depressed.

Because he had not seen even a pound of relief grain from the higher authorities. The official document from Yongzhou Prefecture stated that relief grain from the imperial court had been distributed to all parts of the three southern provinces.

He also wanted to seek justice from the third prince.

"No, I will submit a report right away. It has been such a long time. If the relief grain is delayed any longer, it will sprout on the way." County Magistrate Lu said before he finished speaking.

Then I saw the county magistrate carrying a few county annals in. The yellowed pages showed that they were very old. There was also an elderly scholar following behind him.

The matter was urgent, and Magistrate Lu was reluctant to waste the other party's time to pay his respects. He asked directly, "Have you found out? Has Changhua ever suffered a flood?"

"To answer your question, Lord County Master, Changhua suffered a flood fifteen years ago, and canals were built afterwards. The current Changhua County was also rebuilt on a higher ground after that."

"This is Mr. Yang, who experienced the flood that year." The lawyer said politely.

"Please sit down, Mr. Yang. Could you please tell us about the situation back then?" Magistrate Lu placed the county annals handed to him by his lawyer on the small table between him and Ye Guo.

The county annals recorded the major events that had occurred over the years, using the year as the unit. Ye Guo picked up a copy and quickly flipped through it.

Mr. Yang looked to be in his 50s or 60s, and he spoke very clearly and logically.

What he said about the flood fifteen years ago was even more detailed than what was recorded in the county annals, especially the time and place, which he remembered particularly clearly.
