She transmigrated into a widow and farmed to raise vests.

"My lord, please don't worry. The immortal has already told me how to grow and eat rice. When the time comes, you can send someone to summon the village chiefs from each village and have them bring a few people from their villages to learn. Then planting will be much easier!"

"Will it really work?" Li Yang was somewhat skeptical.

Even if the waterwheel project fails, it won't attract the people's ire.

However, if the announcement that the whole village should plant rice is successful, it would be a good thing. But if it fails, the government's reputation will be in jeopardy!

"I know you are hesitant, so I came to tell you the method as soon as I got it. You can first make two experimental plots, one fertilized and one unfertilized, to compare the yield."

"As for the rice, sir, you don't need to worry. I can bet you that the harvest will be no problem if you follow the method I teach you."

"If I succeed, you can grant me one thing!"

Li Yang squinted at Qin Yu for a long time before finally agreeing to the bet.

If the rice harvest doubles, then the hill and land in Stone Village will be given to him.

If there is no harvest, then Li Yang will push Qin Yu out to appease the public's anger; whether he lives or dies is none of Li Yang's business.

Li Yang never expected to encounter such a ruthless person.

Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, I have already handed over the waterwheel.

If production increases by then, he might get a promotion.

Even if there were no production, he would not be punished or demoted for his contribution to the waterwheel.

After calming the public's anger, he pushed this young master Qin out, and then acted as if nothing had happened.

No matter how you calculate it, you're not losing out.

Li Yang thought it over and over.

Without hesitation, he agreed.

So Qin Yu agreed to give up the waterwheel unconditionally and also agreed to let Li Yang take the waterwheel to his superior to claim credit.

At Qin Yu's request, Li Yang agreed to find all the carpenters in the city and build a waterwheel together behind the county government office three days later.

"Oh, by the way, I need your help with something, sir!" Qin Yu didn't forget to ask his brother-in-law for a letter of recommendation.

"Young Master Qin, please speak!"

“There is a family surnamed Lu in Stone Village. The eldest son, Lu Chen, was once my close friend. Now that his younger brother has reached school age, I would like to ask you to write a letter of recommendation to Mr. Zhao at the school!”

"This is not difficult. Wait a moment, and I can write it for you now!"

Without saying a word, Li Yang turned around and went to the study.

He quickly finished writing the letter of recommendation and personally handed it to Qin Yu.

Qin Yu was about to leave.

The yamen runners rushed in.

"My lord, the young master of the Golden Treasure Restaurant requests an audience!"

"Invite him in!"

"My lord!" Qin Yu called out to Li Yang.

She had heard about Lin Jingui and Wang Yuanwai's affair a couple of days ago, and guessed that Lin Jingui probably wanted to ask Li Yang to persuade him because he saw that there was no way to turn the situation around.

Qin Yu naturally couldn't allow Li Yang and Lin Jingui to stand together.

So he interrupted Li Yang.

"Young Master Qin, please speak!" Li Yang thought Qin Yu had something else to say.

"Excuse my bluntness, but it is not appropriate for you to meet with the young master of that restaurant at this moment!"

After Qin Yu finished speaking, Li Yang immediately stopped the yamen runner, preventing him from going to invite Lin Jingui.

He looked at Qin Yu with some confusion.

"Why do you say that, Young Master Qin?"

"I've heard a thing or two about the Jin Gui Restaurant incident. They must be here to ask you, sir, to go and persuade the Wang family on their behalf!"

"Sir, you are planning to make some achievements. If you get involved with Jin Gui Restaurant again, I'm afraid it will cause gossip. If people dig up some past events, it won't be good for your career!"

Qin Yu briefly explained the reason, only saying that it would be bad for his career.

He is at the peak of his career now, and we cannot allow anything to hinder his progress.

If so, it means he doesn't want a future.

Her reminder made Li Yang realize what she meant.

The Wang family were relatives of his superior, so he couldn't afford to offend them.

We must not let these things ruin our great opportunity.

Therefore, Li Yang immediately refused Lin Jingui outside the door!

"Young Master Qin's words are a wake-up call; I almost made a mistake!"

Li Yang thanked Qin Yu and escorted him to the second gate.

Only after watching her leave through the gate did they close the door to refuse further visits!

Overjoyed, Li Yang turned and went to find his wife.

Through the door, he recounted the story of that young master Qin.

Xu Hailan jumped up excitedly.

"Sir, you have encountered a benefactor; do not neglect him!"

Despite repeated warnings, he was still not allowed to enter the house.

Xu Hailan paced back and forth in the room happily.

He touched his face from time to time.

If the previous few days were just psychological, she could now truly feel the difference.

Even Zhang's mother noticed that her face looked better than before.

She admired Young Master Qin of Wuya Valley to the core.

I originally thought there was no way to find this person.

To her surprise, she heard that he would come to the mansion again to discuss matters, which put her at ease!

There's no need to worry about not being able to buy medicine anymore.

After leaving the magistrate's gate, Qin Yu led Zhui Feng to the inn.

Zhui Feng followed her all the way, keeping his head down and not saying a word. He watched her change her clothes and go downstairs, and then followed her downstairs.

He looked at her, puzzled, not knowing what she meant.

I was very confused. I had clearly agreed to follow her for three years.

But now I find that she hasn't asked me to do anything.

For a moment, I was at a loss!

She ignored her own questioning gaze.

After he changed his clothes, they sent him back.

Although they didn't understand, they were very obedient.

Qin Yu happily returned home with the letter of recommendation.

I don't plan to tell him before everything is arranged.

Let's tell Lu's mother the good news first.

She was overjoyed when she heard this, as she was pulling up all the withered chili pepper plants.

But then she started to worry again.

"I'm a little worried about Xiaozhou going to town alone!"

"He's still young and doesn't know anyone here. What if he gets bullied? What if he gets food? These things..."

Seeing her worry, Qin Yu took the opportunity to ask.

"Why don't you take Xiao An and stay in town too?"

"Huh?" Lu's mother was stunned when she heard this, clearly she hadn't thought about it before.

Hearing that we were going to stay in town, I started to hesitate.

"That's good, but the wheat in the field hasn't been harvested yet; we can't just throw it away!"

It's not that I hadn't thought about it, but when I heard that I would have to live in town, I was still a little reluctant to leave.

Even if we move to town, we'll still need to buy a house, since we don't have land or any skills.

What they eat and drink is worse than what's here.

"Don't worry, I've rented a house in town. If you want, you can bring Xiao An to stay there for a couple of days!"

Qin Yu knew her concerns and wasn't in a hurry to move out.

We'll have to move out sooner or later, and we can't abandon these houses.

She wanted to renovate it, but she only had a little over two hundred taels of silver left.

To renovate according to her ideas, it would cost at least four figures, and that would only be for a portion of the project.

Moreover, Lu's mother is right; her land was just bought, and it's impossible for her to give it up.
