Stepmother in charge: Making a fortune through farming and raising her children to fight back

at this time.

Lu Yunfeng, who hadn't found a chance to speak, stepped forward and reported: "Your Excellency, when I went to Qinjia Village to check on the people's conditions today, I also heard about this incident and was about to come back to report..."

County Magistrate Wang looked at him with surprise and joy: "So it really happened?"

"That's right." Lu Yunfeng continued, "This was invented by the family of Yun Niangzi, a peasant woman from Qinjia Village. She was willing to hand over the construction drawings to benefit the country and the people."

County Magistrate Wang was grinning from ear to ear at this moment. He hadn't done anything yet, but the political achievements were already being delivered to him.

This Madam Yun is really my lucky star.

No, it is the lucky star of the entire Yunding County.

"This Madam Yun is truly an extraordinary person. Inventing the stone mill is nothing. It is her discovery of new crops that truly benefits the country and the people and brings benefits to the common people." County Magistrate Wang's joy was beyond words, and he spoke with pride.

"My colleagues, please go back. I am writing a memorial to the Governor right now. I really don't have time to chat with you. Old Wang, please have the county magistrates have tea in the front hall. I will treat them well."

Several county magistrates had no choice but to leave, except County Magistrate Wang of Taiyin County, who stayed quietly.

He felt angry when he saw Wang Cun, who used to be humble in front of him, now looked so arrogant, but after all, he needed help from others, so he spoke in a gentle voice.

"Brother Wang, can you please bring my son along with you when you ask for credit for the stone mill?"

This might be how his life would be, wasting his life as a county magistrate until his death, but he wanted to fight for a path to success for his son.

Wang Cun picked up the cold tea on the table, took a sip slowly, and then slowly spoke.

"I can't just bring the people I want to be rewarded with. They have to do some real work. Otherwise, what will the people under my jurisdiction think? And what will the people who have made real contributions think?"

Wang Rong immediately spoke up, "It's done. You don't know that my son has a very good relationship with Madam Yun from Qinjia Village. He even lived in her house for a long time. Madam Yun trusted Xiaoze very much and gave him the task of making the stone mill. Doesn't this count as a meritorious service?"

Wang Rong chuckled after he finished speaking. Fortunately, he had the foresight to send this brat over.

If others eat meat, they should also drink some soup.

After hearing this, Wang Cun still didn't want to agree to him easily.

In previous years, when the county magistrates gathered together, he was always the one who was ignored. When everyone sat together to discuss government affairs, he never had a chance to interrupt.

Now the situation has changed, and it is his turn to be powerful.

Wang Cun put down the teacup and signaled Wang Rong with his eyes.

He understood what he meant and immediately ran over to pour tea. Seeing that he was so understanding, Wang Cun did not make things difficult for him. He picked up the teacup and spoke lightly.

"Let's talk about it later. When the time comes, I'll ask Madam Yun. If it's true, it wouldn't be wrong to mention your boy in the memorial."

"Then...I would like to thank Brother Wang in advance." Wang Rong said with a smile.

Then he stood up and said goodbye, leaving him enough space to write his memorial.

Finally, only County Magistrate Wang and Lu Yunfeng were left in the study. He picked up the pen and meditated for a long time before carefully writing the first word.

Lu Yunfeng stood aside and talked about what he saw and heard during his recent visit to the village.

From the discovery of new crops, to the promotion of potatoes, to the new laws promulgated throughout the county, and the grain output from the autumn harvest... and most importantly, the prevention and control methods of wheat stripe rust, plus the prevention and control guidelines brought by Yun Zhenzhen, County Magistrate Wang listed them all one by one.

He needs to write down each and every one of these things clearly so that the governor can check them.

In the end, the two of them stayed until sunset and wrote several thousand words before stopping.

At the very end, County Magistrate Wang did not forget to commend everyone involved, especially Yun Zhenzhen. He spent dozens of words praising her, striving to make the governor remember this extraordinary woman.

Her nephew Yun Jing also contributed a lot, and she cannot forget him.

There is also Wang Rong's son. Madam Ruoyun has a really good relationship with him and even asked him to make a stone mill, so his name must also be included.

County Magistrate Wang and Lu Yunfeng here are reading the memorial carefully, making sure it is flawless before submitting it.

On the other side, County Magistrate Wang Rong was sitting in the carriage returning to the city.

Fortunately, I had foresight. If I hadn't sent my son to help, the credit of this stone mill would have nothing to do with them.

At least let his son become familiar to the governor.

In the future, you should build a good relationship with Wang Cun, especially with Lu Yunfeng. The governor kept him alone last time, so there might be some nepotism between them. You have to be polite when you see him in the future.

While thinking, I returned to the doorstep of my home.

It happened that Wang Ze had just returned from outside, and the father and son bumped into each other at the door.

Seeing his previously useless son, Wang Rong walked over and patted him, smiling and saying, "What do you want to eat tonight? Dad will ask the kitchen to make it for you."

Wang Ze looked up and saw his father looking at him with a strange smile. He couldn't help but shudder: "Dad, did you take the wrong medicine?"

Snapped--

Wang Rong slapped him on the back of the head, making a crisp sound.

"You little brat, how dare you talk to your father like that?"

"It's because you are usually serious, and when you suddenly smile it's creepy." Wang Ze said aggrievedly, touching the back of his aching head.

"That's also your fault." Wang Rong felt a little disappointed.

His own son is obviously extremely talented and has a bright future in studying, but he just chooses to hang out with his cousin.

Wang Ye's family is in business, they don't require to take imperial examinations, just be able to study. But this kid of theirs is different, he must pass the imperial examination to become a scholar and bring honor to the family.

This will be his life forever, but he must help his son enter the court.

"I see, Dad. I've been listening to you and staying at Madam Yun's house lately. I haven't been in contact with my cousin." Wang Ze said sincerely, "By the way, what's the matter that makes you so happy today? Tell me about it and let me hear it."

"Hmph." Wang Rong smiled again when he mentioned this. "Your father was smart. He sent you to Qinjia Village to help out. Now Wang Cun is preparing to ask the governor for credit. Since you have been helpful, I asked him to add your name to the list as well."

Wang Ze was a little bit incredulous: "Really? I just need to contribute some money and manpower and I can follow Chenggongchen?"

"It's your father who begged for it." Wang Rong said with some dismay: "After this incident, you will find that your father is right. From now on, just like before, you should go to Qinjia Village to help when you have time, especially Madam Yun. You must build a good relationship with her..."

"I know, Dad. I've heard this so many times that my ears are almost callused..." Wang Ze pulled Wang Rong and walked straight in.
