"That guy's family, Liu Da, used to be a villager in Baihua Village. The two consecutive years of natural disasters made this group of villagers completely lose hope of living. Some of them watched their relatives starve to death, and some suffered Those who can’t, just change their sons and eat them, and finally hang themselves on the beams of their own houses.”

After Jiang Ling heard this, her heart skipped a beat. Although she had also learned about the famine in TV dramas or movies, she suddenly heard someone say it out loud today, and she felt a little complicated at the moment. Jiang Ling will also experience strong physical discomfort with these words.

The way she wrinkled her willow eyebrows and her pale complexion was clutching her chest surprised County Magistrate Duan by the way.

"Jiang Shi, are you...are you alright?" County Magistrate Duan looked at Jiang Ling anxiously and asked.

"No...it's nothing, just continue, my lord!" Jiang Ling said with force to stabilize his mind.

"The refugees in this place are easy to deal with, but I'm worried that there are more than one cases like this! Moreover, these refugees are not bad in nature, and they are all forced to go to such a life of licking blood!" County Magistrate Duan Said with a light sigh.

Jiang Ling thought for a while, and immediately stood up from the chair. She respectfully received a gift from County Magistrate Duan and said, "Master Duan, the husband has an idea."

"Oh? Then tell me quickly!" County magistrate Duan looked at Jiang Ling in surprise and said.

Jiang Ling rolled his eyes and said with a calm expression: "I remember Dayu used to control the water, and he once said that it is better to block it than to block it. If these refugees are really as you said, my lord, then it is better to let them live and save them both. After years of exorbitant and miscellaneous taxes, I am applying for some relief food for them, if there is a bumper harvest in the past two years, they will not make trouble anymore!"

County magistrate Duan was very surprised when he heard Jiang Ling's answer. He looked up at Jiang Ling for a while and said, "How do you, a peasant woman, know the story of Yao, Shun and Yu?"

"I listened to my younger brother Jiang Zhishan's talk about these things, and I gradually remembered them when he said a lot!" Jiang Ling panicked, anyway, Jiang Zhishan was a scholar, so it was impossible for him not to know these things.

After hearing this, County Magistrate Duan nodded in satisfaction, as if he had thought of something and continued to ask, "Did you also take the lead in advocating the school in Lujia Village?"

"Your Excellency is absurd, the women just want their children to read and write more! It's just that there are more people in the village who want to read and write, and the goodness of just wanting to teach the children to read and write here is nothing more. ! Zhishan has not yet passed the examination of a scholar and is not qualified to open any school!" Jiang Ling replied.

When Duan County Magistrate heard Jiang Ling's answer, he was still secretly surprised. This seemingly ordinary village woman in front of her was doing one amazing thing after another.

County magistrate Duan squinted his eyes and looked at Jiang Ling again, then asked: "Mr. Jiang, your method is good, but if these refugees are disobedient, what should we do?"

Jiang Ling smiled slightly when she heard the words and said meaningfully: "Magistrate Duan, I'm just a village woman, why do you make things difficult for me, how can you not know such a simple question!"

"Hahaha! Good! Don't be afraid in the face of danger!" County magistrate Duan was not angry after hearing Jiang Ling's words, but laughed and slapped his hands.

Jiang Ling glanced helplessly at County Magistrate Duan. At this moment, she didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in County Magistrate Duan's gourd, so she could only sit there awkwardly and laugh along with her.

After some chatting, County Magistrate Duan personally sent Jiang Ling and the village head back in a carriage. Along the way, the village head was very disturbed. He wanted to ask Jiang Ling several times what the county magistrate and Jiang Ling said after he left. , but he was too embarrassed to open his mouth.

In this way, the village chief sat on pins and needles for more than half an hour.

As soon as Jiang Ling returned to her old house, she saw Zhao Erleng's daughter-in-law wandering back and forth in front of her house, with a look of anxiety on her face.

"Oh, sister-in-law, you're back!" said the sharp-eyed Zhao Erleng's daughter-in-law, who saw Jiang Ling jumping off the carriage and trotted over.

"Sister-in-law, do you have anything to do with me?" Jiang Ling looked at Zhao Er's daughter-in-law in a strange way and asked.

"This..." Zhao Erleng's daughter-in-law wanted to open her mouth, but she closed her mouth when she saw the village head getting off the carriage.

Jiang Ling looked at Zhao Erling's daughter-in-law and guessed a little bit in her heart. She took Zhao Erleng's daughter-in-law back to her yard, closed the door and asked: "Sister-in-law will be empty now. If you have anything to say, just say it." !"

"I..." The crisp Zhao Erleng's daughter-in-law became hesitant when she spoke now.

Jiang Ling looked at Zhao Er's daughter-in-law strangely but did not urge her. Jiang Ling raised her head and glanced at the sky. Even though it was morning, the heat from the sun was still scorching the earth.Jiang Ling glanced at Zhao Erleng's daughter-in-law, whose forehead was already covered with sweat, and said lightly, "Sister-in-law Erleng, don't worry if you have anything to say, please speak slowly. The sun will be very bright, so you can rest in the shade of my house first. Go get you some water!"

Without waiting for Zhao Erleng's daughter-in-law to refuse, Jiang Ling got into the kitchen alone, and after a while, Jiang Ling came out with a pot of mint water and some refreshments that he secretly bought from the mall just now.

"Oh, sister-in-law, this is costing you!" Zhao Erleng's daughter-in-law blushed in embarrassment immediately after seeing it.

"It's nothing, just sit down and drink some mint water and have some refreshments on a hot day, and tell me slowly what's the matter!" Jiang Ling smiled lightly.

This time, Zhao Erleng's daughter-in-law was even more embarrassed. She felt like sitting on pins and needles, with her head lowered and her hands constantly pinching the corners of her clothes.

"Sister-in-law, didn't you come here because of my elder brother Erleng?" Jiang Ling asked tentatively.

Zhao Erling's daughter-in-law heard Jiang Ling's words, and immediately stopped rubbing her clothes. After a long time, she nodded slightly and said in a very ashamed tone: "Sister-in-law... sister-in-law, this is really true. I'm sorry, I... I didn't expect this to happen, and you know that Qiu Harvest is really busy these days..."

"Hey, sister-in-law Erleng, what you said is too foreign, I understand it, and don't you think we are all right! Don't worry, I will explain this matter to the village chief. Don't worry about it. I'm worried!" Jiang Ling said, putting a piece of dim sum in the hands of Zhao Erleng's daughter-in-law.

Zhao Erling's daughter-in-law raised her head immediately after hearing this, and confirmed again with a face full of surprise: "Really...really?"

Jiang Ling nodded lightly and comforted: "Sister-in-law, you helped us a lot when our family was in the most difficult time, and you scolded those gossips in the village a lot about Sui He before. I might blame Brother Erleng, not to mention that humans are not robots, so how could it be possible to stay awake 24 hours a day?"

"What? A robot? What is a robot? What kind of new species is this?" Zhao Erleng's daughter-in-law asked with a strange look on her face.

Jiang Ling knew that she had slipped her tongue, so she quickly covered her mouth and shook her head to change the topic.Zhao Erling's daughter-in-law didn't delve into this issue either.

After several thanks, Zhao Erleng's daughter-in-law left Jiang Ling's house with a feeling of apprehension.

The days of the autumn harvest are either short or long, but Jiang Ling feels that she is living in dire straits every day. She secretly vows that next year she must find a way to mechanize the autumn harvest, and then she will not be Tired like a dog.

This morning Jiang Ling had just cleaned up the table when the sound of horseshoes came from outside the door.

Before Jiang Ling could react, the door of his house was pushed open. When Jiang Ling saw clearly who was coming, his heart trembled.
