After traveling through time, she still led the villagers to make money as a county magistrate

Xie Feixing thought that Li Jing was criticized by Lord Gu and was unhappy. After all, no one wants to leave a bad impression on their superiors, and he didn't say anything excessive.

You can still say that you like someone you don’t even know very much and that the other person is very good. Besides, Li Jing and his sister have never met each other.

It is not easy for Li Jing to say "okay" given his personality.

Xie Feixing felt a little guilty when he thought of this, and immediately tried to smooth things over, "Lord Li did it unintentionally. My sister will definitely be very happy to receive Lord Gu's praise."

"If Xie Zhiyao could hear his sweetheart praising her like this, it would be strange if he wasn't happy. I'm afraid his tail would be up to the sky." Xie Feixing couldn't help but smile when he thought of his sister's cute expression with her lips curled up.

Seeing that the two had reconciled and Li Jing was still looking down, Gu Niannian could only ask Xie Feixing the question in her heart, "Brother Xie, the county magistrate was supposed to have a blind date with your sister, so why did he come back? And why did you come with him?"

Xie Feixing said, "Well, didn't he come to my house? Then my mother went to chat with his mother and asked me to show Master Li around..."

Halfway through his conversation, Xie Feixing felt a little thirsty. He had walked two miles and was talking for so long, how could he not be thirsty!

But this was the county government office and he was too embarrassed to ask for water directly. He licked his dry lips and was about to continue speaking.

Gu Niannian was sharp-eyed. She took the tea from her desk and filled the cup. "Drink it!"

Xie Feixing was flattered and didn't hesitate to be polite. He was really thirsty. The autumn heat was still very strong, and he had walked so much. He took the teacup and drank it all in one gulp. "Thank you, sir."

Gu Niannian took the empty teacup from his hand and asked, "Do you want more?"

"Stop calling me 'big man' all the time. From now on, you can call me by my courtesy name, Le'an."

Xie Feixing waved his hand, "No, no, big..."

Gu Niannian glanced at him, and Xie Feixing rolled the word "人" in his mouth for a while, but he finally swallowed it. "Le...Le'an"

Le'an is Gu Rujun's name, given by his mother, who hopes he will always be happy and healthy. Gu Niannian also likes this name very much.

Gu Niannian nodded in satisfaction, then took another teacup, filled it up, and handed it to Li Jing, "Want to drink?"

Li Jing didn't respond for a long time. Just as Gu Niannian was about to retract her wrist, a pair of hands grabbed her silver-white wrist. Li Jing's low voice rang out, "Hah."

Li Jing let go of Gu Niannian's wrist and drank the tea in one gulp. "What happened to him just now? He was staring at the adult's wrist in a trance, and when he saw him about to leave, he subconsciously grabbed it..."

Li Jing shook his head, trying to get rid of the thoughts in his mind.

"How can a man have such white wrists? They seem to be glowing..."

No matter how much Li Jing resisted such thoughts, they kept popping up in his mind at home. If this continued, he was afraid that his love would burst out.

No, he has to leave here quickly.

Li Jing stood up from his chair and one word popped out of his mouth, "Go."

Xie Feixing hadn't finished speaking when he saw this person was about to leave again, "Where are you going next?"

Li Jing, "Meeting Mother"

Xie Feixing cursed in his heart, but his body still followed him consciously, "You are such a weird person. You are the one who came, and you are the one who left so quickly."

"It's a good thing my sister doesn't like you!"

After Xie Feixing finished speaking, he felt that he had said something wrong and quickly covered his mouth. Seeing that Li Jing did not react, he guessed that he probably had no feelings for his sister. Otherwise, even if they were seeing each other, he should have responded if he heard that the other party did not like him.

"It seems that this marriage will not be successful."

Li Jing turned his head and asked, "Why?"

Xie Feixing snorted, "You don't like my sister."

Li Jing stopped talking again. He could not lie. Instead of saying such hurtful words, he would rather remain silent.

Xie Feixing, "Besides, my sister also has someone she likes."

Li Jing, "Oh"

Xie Feixing's eyes widened. "Only one word 'oh'?"

Li Jing, "Then can she be with the person she likes?"

Xie Feixing thought, this is too unconventional, isn't it? "No, shouldn't I usually ask who my sister likes?"

Li Jing, "It doesn't matter."

For Li Jing, it is better to marry a woman who has someone else in her heart. After all, both of them have someone else in their hearts, which is fair to each other.

Although he couldn't say that he liked her, she was chosen by his mother after all. Since he had to marry a woman, he would of course treat her with respect.

Xie Feixing was furious. "That's not important. What if I say my sister likes Master Gu? Isn't that important?"

Xie Zhiyao, who was at home, didn't know that he had been betrayed by his brother and kept sneezing. "Strange, it's not cold here! Why can't I stop sneezing?"

Li Jing paused and laughed, "Even the one you like is the same person?"

Xie Feixing saw Li Jing smile and felt scared, "I'll go first."

……

Two months later

Gu Niannian looked at the red and green peppers growing well in the fields, and her mouth was almost grinning from ear to ear.

I have almost finished writing the book about rice. Although the rice and sugarcane in my experimental field are not yet mature, the yield seems to have improved qualitatively, and the grains are plump.

People who can read and write or those who want to read and write in each village are also collected.

The next step is to promote the technology of rice cultivation. He plans to do both things simultaneously.

While copying the books, printing technology already existed at that time. Although most of them were woodblock printed, they were much more efficient than handwriting.

Gu Niannian printed fifty copies of the book, which means that each village got one copy, but only one copy. The printing cost in ancient times was quite high, so Gu Niannian printed according to the number of villages.

Another point is that they are afraid that if too many are printed, the villagers will not cherish them and will have a lucky mentality, thinking that they can get them again if they are lost or broken.

Simply have one copy per village. If the copy is damaged, borrow one from another village and print or copy it yourself.

In the southern part of China, the main food is rice, which is available in every village, but it requires literate people to teach the farmers.

This is why Gu Niannian arranged Zhang Da to investigate the literate people in each village. She planned to gather these people together, teach them in a unified way, and improve efficiency by taking the lead.

This teaching also requires practical practice on large tracts of farmland, which Gu Niannian's family cannot do. One reason is that the place is not big enough and there are not enough fields. At least one person comes from each village, and larger villages even have two or three people.

By this calculation, there are more than a hundred people, and it is definitely impossible to finish learning in one day. Food and accommodation are all problems.

The rice cannot grow in two or three days. We have to set a time and let them come regularly.

Therefore, the place chosen must not only be close to the county government office, but also have large tracts of farmland.

As a result, the location was chosen as Taoyuan Township, which is closest to the county and has large tracts of farmland.

It is July now, which is a good time to plant the second crop of rice.

Originally, we wanted to find some wealthy locals to see if they had any vacant houses to rent out to everyone, or we could live in farmers' homes to save some money.

Later, I found out that there were no rich families with such a big house for everyone to live in, so everyone was dispersed to farmers' homes. One reason was that they were too scattered, and it was difficult to gather them every day, which wasted time.

The second reason is that this is not just one training session, there will be two, three, four or five more. We can't stay in other people's homes every time. Even the kindest people will complain.

So I asked Li Jing to build a simple house. It didn't have to be too complicated, with about ten rooms separated by a large bunk bed that could accommodate about ten people.

Since men were valued more than women in ancient times, those who could read and write were all men. There was no taboo and they did whatever was convenient for them.

In addition, a toilet was built. The toilet here was not as exquisite as the one in Gu Niannian's house. It was just the most common one in ancient times, with a wooden barrel in a small room.

Feeding a hundred people is also a hassle. Gu Niannian originally planned to hire an aunt to cook.

Li Jing told the matter to his mother, thinking that his mother knew many people in this field, and asked her to recommend a reliable cook.

Unexpectedly, Li's mother volunteered to be the cook herself.

Li Jing, "Mom, cooking for a hundred people is no joke. It's hard to even turn the dishes."

"What's so difficult about cooking? Mom has been doing it for years."

"Besides, if you can't turn the dishes, I still have my big son!" Mother Li didn't care.

Li Jing couldn't persuade his mother, so he agreed. If there was no other way, he would help himself.

For Li's mother, who has been a cook for more than ten years in modern times, such a large pot of food is really not something she can handle.

People here rarely eat meat dishes, and only during the Chinese New Year and other festivals do they eat some greasy food.

What's so difficult about cooking some vegetables? Just control the heat, add oil, vegetables, salt, and serve.

As for the issue of how to prepare the food, Gu Niannian was really at her wit's end.

In the past few months since he came here, he has been spending money all the time. Relying on the meager salary of the county magistrate, he really can't make ends meet.

Therefore, those who participated had to bring their own rice and vegetables for ten days.

As for her own problem of not having money, she has to think of a way to do some business and make some money. Otherwise, if she continues to spend like this, she will probably lose everything.
