If you keep making noise, I won’t stand it anymore!

On the fifth day of the opening of Xiaoliu Village Market, Meixiang received a message from Chu Zeming who sent someone to deliver it - all the potatoes in Xiaoliu Village had been sold out.

After noon that day, the village chief Ou of Xiaoliu Village once again came to the door of Liu Mansion with a booklet in his hand.

"Ms. Liu, this time Xiaoliu Village harvested a total of 3,000 jin of potatoes, 450 jin were distributed to the villagers, and the remaining 2,550 jin were all sold at the price of 10 cents per jin. This is the potato account book, please take a look." Village Chief Ou said with a happy face.

Miss Liu really has the ability to turn stone into gold. Those potatoes had been growing on the back hill for so many years and no one had discovered them. But Miss Liu sold them for so much money just by taking a look and saying something. With this money, the villagers of Xiao Liu Village can finally have a good summer.

Meixiang did not take the booklet handed over by Village Chief Ou. "Trust people when you employ them, and don't employ people if you don't trust them" was her consistent principle for employing people. Since she had given it to him, as long as he was not wrong in the general direction and had no problems with his character, she would let him do it and not interfere in specific matters. This was the case with the government office and the military camp, and it was also the case with the potato sales in Xiaoliu Village this time.

Looking at Village Chief Ou again, whose face had changed from smiling to surprised, Meixiang decided not to beat around the bush and get straight to the point. "Village Chief Ou, let's talk openly today."

"Miss Liu, please feel free to tell me what you want to say. I'm all ears." Ou Cuncai restrained his expression and replied solemnly.

"Village Chief Ou is a smart man. I believe you have some guesses about my identity. So my words still carry some weight in Liuzhou Prefecture." Meixiang looked at the serious expression of Village Chief Ou and joked in a relaxed manner.

"You were born and raised here, so I believe you love and are more familiar with this land than I am. Some time ago, Mr. Liu from Liu's rice store in the capital city became a disciple of my Liu Mansion. The summer harvest is coming soon, and collecting grain is a big deal. I want to hand over the grain affairs to you two in the future. What do you think?"

Ou Mengde had already guessed something since he heard Meixiang's words that seemed like introducing herself. He just didn't expect such a good thing to happen to him. The incident 20 years ago forced him to return to Xiaoliu Village and become a pastoral farmer. Any scholar would have the long-cherished wish to display what he has learned, and he is no exception.

He didn't have too many thoughts about who was in power in the country. Just as Meixiang said, he loved this land. His only obsession was to use what he had learned to make the people here live a stable and good life. So for the past 20 years, he had been waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to fulfill his wish. Now that Meixiang had thrown the opportunity in front of him, how could he not be excited?

"I, Ou Mengde, am willing to obey the princess' orders and serve her wholeheartedly." Ou Mengde did not hesitate at all. He knelt down in front of Meixiang and kowtowed three times.

Meixiang looked up at Shichen, stood up, and asked Village Chief Ou who was standing below her, "Do you have anything else to do this afternoon? I just happen to be going to the city to do some work. If you don't have anything to do, come with me to the city to introduce you to Mr. Liu."

"Miss, please." Village Chief Ou bowed with excitement in his eyes. Nothing was more important than Meixiang's matter now.

When the two of them arrived at the Liuzhou government office, Mr. Luo was already sitting at the large conference table in the reception room waiting.

Seeing Meixiang coming into the room, he quickly stood up and bowed: "Hello, young lady."

"Mr. Liu, there's no need to be polite. Is your shop peaceful lately?" Meixiang nodded, sat down casually on the chair on the left, and asked.

Upon hearing this, Mr. Liu replied with a smile on his face, "Thank you, Miss, for your concern. Things have been much safer since the soldiers began patrolling the city."

Meixiang remembered that once she heard Situ Yidong mention that he had specifically instructed the captains of each patrol team to take good care of Liu's rice and grain store, and to provide timely assistance and report if there were any abnormalities. "If you are really worried, just send her to Liujia Village as we said at the time. The Liu Mansion's house is being expanded in full swing recently and will be completed soon."

Mr. Liu smiled and nodded. Since he entered the Liu Mansion, these days were the days he slept most soundly in the past twenty years. Seeing his mother's gradually relaxed expression, he felt that everything was worth it.

Chu Zeming and Feng Yizheng rushed over after hearing the news. When they saw Village Chief Ou and Mr. Liu sitting in the house, they immediately understood why Meixiang came to the government office this time.

"Master Liu, let me introduce you. This is the village chief of Xiaoliu Village, Master Ou Mengde," Meixiang pointed at Master Liu and continued, "Master Ou, this is Master Liu Xuanyi of the Liu's Rice and Grain Store that I mentioned to you."

Watching the two men stand up, greet each other and sit down, Meixiang turned around and looked at Chu Zeming and Feng Yizhen. After seeing the two men nod slightly, she continued to say to Village Chief Ou and Mr. Liu: "We want to hand over the rice and grain line to you two in the future. Now we have three main things to do."

"Miss, please give me your orders." The two men sat up straight and said in unison.

"First, the summer harvest is about to begin, and we need to collect new grain and deal with old grain. Second, we want to try to make some adjustments to this year's conscription policy. The summer harvest and conscription work need to cooperate with each other, and this also requires someone to take the lead in coordination. Third, we discovered sweet potatoes, which are similar to potatoes, and the seeds of another food ingredient - millet yesterday.

"However, the sweet potatoes need to be harvested in September or October before they can be planted tomorrow, but the millet needs to be planted before the end of the month. Brother Chu Shi and Cousin Zhen, do you have anything else to add?"

Feng Yizhen thought for a moment and said, "I want to take this opportunity to check the population of Liuzhou Prefecture and see if there are any areas in the household registration system that need to be revised and improved."

Meixiang nodded and looked at Chu Zeming.

"For the above matters, please trouble Mr. Liu and Village Chief Ou to draw up a preliminary plan as soon as possible, and we will discuss the specific implementation later. As for the division of labor between you two, you can discuss it among yourselves. If you need anything, you can come to the government office or Liu Mansion to find us at any time." Chu Zeming thought for a while and added, "Forget it, you go back and arrange the things on hand, and work in the government office for the next few days. This way, we can discuss and decide on anything in time."

"Okay, you just need to discuss these things. I'll go to Doctor Liu's house to see how his elder brother's eyes have recovered." Meixiang said as she stood up and walked out of the house.
