It's over! After eloping, I was caught by my cold husband and taken back to his room

She didn't quite understand the rules here, so it would be better to let the village head talk to her.

An looked at her with even greater admiration.

I thought she did this to avoid suspicion.

He nodded immediately: "Of course you can."

An waved and called Nanzhi, who had taken painkillers yesterday, over.

Nanzhi whispered in An's ear. After An said a few words, she looked at Nanzhi and said, "Do you understand?"

Nanzhi also looked smart and nodded quickly: "I understand, Madam, don't worry."

After a while, Ye Nanyue was led to the courtyard outside the inner house, where the government office was located.

The village head waited even longer today. Although he had laid the groundwork yesterday, he was still anxiously waiting.

Ye Nanyue had just arrived a while ago, and before the head of the village had time to talk to him, someone outside came with a message saying that the county magistrate had arrived.

The old headman's face lit up with joy, but immediately became serious again.

After a while, a man in his early thirties in casual clothes walked in.

He looks quite mature and steady.

The village head knelt down and kowtowed. Ye Nanyue gritted her teeth and cursed the feudal imperial power of ancient times, and knelt down as well.

Fortunately, before she knelt, the county magistrate said in a dignified voice: "No need to be polite, everyone stand up."

Ye Nanyue was not polite and stood up straight immediately.

County Magistrate: “…” You’re really rude.

Ye Nanyue looked up at the county magistrate. He had a pretty face and the temperament of a scholar.

He just acts very arrogant and looks really mature.

County Magistrate Lu Zhenghao sat down, looked at the village head, and then at Ye Nanyue.

Then he asked, "Madam said you have made great contributions and your medical skills are not bad. Tell me, what do you want to say?"

Ye Nanyue was calm and told Lu Zhenghao what she had said to An.

Then he looked at the village head and said, "Grandpa, please tell me."

This was a big deal, so the village head did not refuse nor dare to delay, so he told Lu Zhenghao about the potatoes in detail.

He also told Lu Zhenghao how many seeds were found in Yejia Village and the amount of tax that needed to be paid.

However, Ye Nanyue needed to buy the leftovers at the price of coarse grains, and the village head was smart enough not to tell her.

"Also... there might be a lot of seeds. If this is taken out, it can also become a seed in the future."

"We plan to have the two neighboring villages plant crops together, but the taxes will be the same as ours. The seeds... will be sold at the same price as coarse grain seeds. Please understand, sir!"

The more Lu Zhenghao listened, the more surprised he became.

I never thought that he would be asked to deal with this kind of thing.

If there is such a harvest, it will be a great achievement for him.

Even if I want to be transferred back to the capital, it won’t be a difficult task.

"If this is true, your Yejia Village has made a great contribution. I need to confirm the seeds." Lu Zhenghao said hurriedly.

Recently, news has come out in the capital that the Ministry of Industry is looking for potato seeds everywhere.

He also asked someone to buy a copy of the potato drawing and looked at it.

He thought this matter was far away from him, but he didn't expect... it would hit him like a golden egg!

If Yejia Village really found so much, there would be no need for other villages to plant it. They could just buy it and send it to the Ministry of Industry. This...

Lu Zhenghao's cheeks turned red with excitement!

Li Zheng hurriedly took out the potatoes he brought.

All the plants, whether sprouted or not, as well as those grown by Ye Nanyan's parents that had already sprouted tender leaves, were dug out along with the soil.

Lu Zhenghao didn't mind the dirt and admired the potatoes one by one.

"Okay, okay, great!"

Lu Zhenghao was extremely happy and said several good words in a row!

This thing is indeed a potato!

"This is a great achievement, a great achievement!"

Lu Zhenghao said, "You in Yejia Village should keep these seeds for yourselves, and the rest will be purchased by the government."

He decided to hand it over to the Ministry of Industry!

The village head was delighted: "That's great."

"Yelizheng, you have done a great job and have been very successful in governance!"

Lu Zhenghao's face was full of joy, and he no longer looked like the aloof county magistrate who would bang his head against the pillar.

The village head felt a little guilty after being praised: "To be honest, sir, this... was discovered by my eldest niece, and she also paid for it."

"This child is kind-hearted and gave everything to the village. She also made all the other suggestions..."

The village head did not take any credit for it. Ye Nanyue looked at him and felt a little surprised.

Li Zhenghao looked at Ye Nanyue with more and more surprise.

Madam An said that Madam Ye's medical skills were superb, so he should try his best to satisfy and agree to Madam Ye's conditions.

I thought they were going to make some excessive demands, but unexpectedly, they were here to give him some political achievements!

Lu Zhenghao stood up, walked in front of Ye Nanyue, and actually bowed deeply to Ye Nanyue: "Madam Ye, I thank you on behalf of the people of the world and the soldiers on the border!"

Ye Nanyue was startled and quickly moved sideways to avoid Lu Zhenghao's gift.

The village head was also shocked.

Seeing that Ye Nanyue was sensible enough to avoid it, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Lu Zhenghao stood up, rubbed his hands, and said, "I'm a little curious... why do you have to pay so much tax? You've made contributions... I could have offered you some favorable conditions."

This... the village head didn't quite understand either. He looked at Ye Nanyue curiously, waiting for her answer.

Ye Nanyue had already prepared her words. She coughed lightly and said righteously, "I'm just a little girl. I don't understand these things..."

"To be honest, sir, I am just a tenant farmer's wife on a wealthy farm."

"My husband works the land every day, facing the loess. Every day I hear him say that it would be great if everyone in the world could have enough to eat, the government could be prosperous, and the soldiers could not go hungry."

"So...that's why I had this idea."

Lu Zhenghao and the village head were surprised again and looked at Ye Nanyue in disbelief.

It seems that Madam Ye's husband is also a careless person.

How could such a person be a farmer?

The county magistrate added, "Just pay the normal taxes. As for the excess... we will purchase it from Yejia Village."

"As for the extra... the government will purchase it and give you the silver."

Ye Nanyan had always thought so, so she naturally wouldn't refuse: "I will leave it to your Excellency's arrangement."

Lu Zhenghao asked them to go back and wait for a few days. He would summon them again after he passed the news back to the capital.

Ye Nanyue thought about it for a while and then mentioned the construction of water conservancy projects to the county magistrate.

"Sir, the guide I met might not be 100% accurate. Please report this to the Imperial Observatory so that they can see it clearly and make preparations early."

Ye Nanyan said, "If you need anything, I happen to have some suggestions for building water conservancy and water storage projects. I can offer them to you then."

Lu Zhenghao was even more surprised. This village woman actually knew so much and even knew about the Imperial Observatory?

But this person clearly looked extraordinary, and he couldn't judge her with the same thinking as he would an ordinary person!

"If the prophecy really comes true... it will be a big deal. Madam Ye, don't worry, I will definitely report it." Lu Zhenghao excitedly.

He seemed to see a bright future!
