The Female Officer Became a Farmer After Getting Reborn

Two days later, Zhu Zhencheng sent someone to invite Chen Yaozu and Zhou Jia to Tongzhou. Zhou Jia took Li Qing with him before leaving, planning to find an academy in Qingzhou for Li Qing to study, and he began to prepare for the exam with peace of mind.

Two days later, Chen Yaohui came back from Tongzhou and told Li Yu that the Yamen sentenced Ye Lianggong to fifty sticks, exiled him for three thousand miles and fined him fifty taels of silver.

After the village chief recovered, he took Liu, who was hunched over and uneasy, and Chen Baozhen, who had become stupid, to Li Yu's house to apologize.

Mrs. Liu pulled Chen Baozhen to kneel in front of Li Yu and begged with tears: Xiaoyu, it's my failure to educate my daughter well. Please forgive Baozhen for the sake of her retribution!

Li Yu looked at the village chief and Mrs. Liu, who had aged a lot in just a few days, and then at Chen Baozhen, who was kneeling behind Mrs. Liu and had become stupid, Village Chief Grandpa, let them get up! It's over now, don't worry about it.

The village chief glanced at Mr. Li Yu and burst into tears, Xiaoyu! Grandpa, I'm sorry for you. I relied on your support all the way to this place to have such a stable life. It's time for everyone to work together to live a good life. Who can I know that evil person has committed such a big mistake, I have no shame to see you!

The village chief took a breath and then said: My energy is not as good as before. Can you talk to Mr. Zhou and see if he is willing to take charge of the village's affairs?

Li Yu shook his head, Village Chief Grandpa, Zhou Jia is preparing to take part in the provincial examination next year. I think your Uncle Yaohui and Uncle Yaozu are good people and fair. No matter who becomes the village chief, they will treat us This is the best thing for Fengming Village.

After hearing this, the village chief thought for a moment, Mr. Zhou wants to take the imperial examination, which is a major event that our whole village must fully support. Let's let him prepare for the exam with peace of mind. As for the candidate for the village chief, your Uncle Yaohui is straightforward and Yaozu is a bit indecisive. I’ll try to get a better deal with a few others.”

Li Yu nodded and smiled: I think the most important thing is to be decent and fair.

Okay, I'll take note of what you said. I'll go back and get a bargain with those old guys. Xiaoyu, thank you for your magnanimity.

Li Yu sent the village chief away and went to Zhou's house with a basket of wool yarn. Uncle Zhou took out the madder, blue grass and comfrey that he had dug up and asked Li Yu to recognize them, Girl, you see these can be dyed. Gardenia has it at home. What color do you want to dye it?

Li Yu asked curiously: Uncle Zhou, I just know that indigo grass and madder can be dyed. I have also seen people dye them after boiling water. I don't know how they were dyed. How did they get the color?

Uncle Zhou took out the madder from the frame with a smile, pointed to the roots of the madder and said to Li Yu: The roots of madder are used to dye madder. Cut them, boil them with vinegar, put them in jars, cover them and ferment them for a few days. To dye madder, the color produced will be different depending on the medium used. It is also necessary to add appropriate salt to ensure that the color is long-lasting and not easy to fade.

To dye with indigo grass, use the leaves and rhizomes of indigo grass, soak it in water and press it with stones, soak it in water for several days, add lime powder in a ratio of one to five,...these are the same techniques. All are recorded.

Li Yu did not expect that the ancients had such high attainments in plant dyeing. He gave a thumbs up and praised: Uncle Zhou, you are still good at it, so I will leave the dyeing matter to you.

Uncle Zhou smiled with a smile on his face, Okay, miss, don't worry and go to work. I will do a good job.

Li Yu felt relieved and went to the pond from Zhou's house. He saw that the long-term workers had sorted out the pond and dumped the silt into the wasteland.

The manager of the day laborers, Ru Jing, came to the wasteland, came out of the field and said to Li Yu: Girl, the wheat field has been covered with winter soil, and there are still more than 100 acres of wasteland left to be cultivated. The day laborers said that they would try to get some crops in the wasteland. All will be opened before the winter solstice.”

Okay, if the completion date is early, you can ask them to dig out the cesspools and cisterns. Is that okay? You can hire more people to dig them all at once to avoid trouble next year. Please pay attention. For those short-term workers who think they are kind and kind, ask them if they are willing to sign a contract with our family and work for us as long-term workers. Those who are willing to come and work will wait until the village is repaired next year. We will provide them with accommodation, and the whole family will be happy. You can come and work and get paid.”

Okay, a few of the day laborers have already asked me, saying they want to come to our house to be long-term laborers or tenants. I've noticed that a few of them are interested, but I haven't paid attention to the others. I'll pay more attention to them from now on.

Li Yu smiled reassuringly and said, Okay, go ahead and get back to work! I'll be back.

Ruyi bent down towards Li Yu, Okay, I'll go back and talk to the day laborers and ask them to call more people to work.

Li Yu nodded and turned around to walk back, intending to go to the entrance of the village to chop some bamboo and go home to cut wool and knit a sweater.

Li Yu chose three thick bamboos and cut them down, picked out the branches and carried the bamboos back. Zhou Jia and Li Qing were driving back from Tongzhou when they saw Li Yu and caught up with them.

Sister, give me the bamboo and I'll carry it. Li Qing jumped out of the car and took the bamboo carried by Li Yu and asked Li Yu to take the car home.

After Li Yu got in the car, Zhou Jia said with a smile: Xiaoyu, I found A Qing a private school called Xiushan. The gentleman is a scholar in his forties. He has good conduct and is not pedantic. His knowledge is also good, Zhou Jia said with a smile. Jia smiled and said, I just didn't have good luck in the exam. Every time I went on stage, I either had diarrhea or the rolls got muddy.

You can arrange these things. So, should you go to the academy or prepare for the exam at home?

Zhou Jia said in a low voice: It's better to prepare for the exam at home! I saw more and more people fleeing the disaster in Tongzhou this time. I heard that the drought and locust plague in Qingzhou are still continuing, and the victims even peeled off the bark of the trees. Come down and eat.”

After hearing this, Li Yu felt extremely disgusted with these bureaucracies, These bullies are in such a bad situation and they still don't provide disaster relief. It will be better to cause civil unrest and kill them all.

Zhou Jia sarcastically said: Thousands of miles away from being an official just for money, they treat the people as a tool to make money, will they care whether they live or die?

Li Yu looked at Zhou Jia and said with a smile, I didn't expect you to be an angry young man.

What does Angry Youth mean? Zhou Jia looked at Li Yu in confusion.

It means young people who are dissatisfied with the present and somewhat cynical.

I see, this is an apt description, but I'm not cynical, I just hate those corrupt officials, Zhou Jia said.

Li Yu looked at Zhou Jiayi and said pointedly, I heard the master say that with the passage of time, most people become what they hate after being tortured by life. Don't become you in the future. Disgusting look.

Zhou Jia held Li Yu's hand and said, Yu'er, as long as you are here, no matter how hard it is, I will stick to my heart. No matter how long it takes, my heart will remain the same.

Li Qing stood at the door with the bamboo on his shoulders. He turned around and saw Zhou Jia holding Li Yu's hand again. He shouted dissatisfied with Zhou Jia, Xiao Xizi, it's so cold outside! Let my sister come in quickly!

You little brat, you are getting more and more courageous. Zhou Jia looked at Li Qing resentfully.

Li Yu jumped out of the car with a smile and followed Li Qing home.

The women working in the wing began to leave work. When they saw Li Qing coming back from Tongzhou, they asked, Aqing, how is the business in Tongzhou?

Li Qing frowned, Business is still good, but I heard that more and more people are fleeing the famine, and the drought in Qingzhou is still so serious.

After hearing this, everyone felt a little sad but also a little lucky to have escaped early and live a stable life.
