Yu Jiuer chuckled: "Look at you guys who are so useless! Don't worry! There is no rush for food for the winter. What you grow will be enough for the winter. Believe me! When we grow rice, I will let you eat white rice every meal!"

"That's great, but the yield of rice here is low. Besides, it's already May. Is it too late? I'm afraid we will lose all our money if we cultivate rice fields," someone reminded.

Yu Jiuer smiled wisely: "It's still in time to plant the rice seedlings I raised. I'm also planning to plant two crops of rice next year!"

"Two seasons? Are you kidding me, sir? I heard that the climate in Jiangnan is so hot that it's hard to grow crops for two seasons. We in the Northwest can grow crops for one season, which is already good enough. If we can grow crops for two seasons, then, that would be amazing, right?"

Everyone thought that their county magistrate was having a crazy idea.

"Just wait and see next year!" Yu Jiuer said, with an expression that everything was under control.

"I plan to keep the first piece of land in front of the river as an experimental field. The yamen runners will bring the purchased cattle and plows here soon. Half of you can help me plow it out, and the other half can open up this wasteland on high ground. We will build some sheds to live in first!"

Wang Meng replied, "There's no need to waste time clearing the land during the day. We've already agreed to finish work at night and then build the shed. We'll keep the wood we cleared during the day!"

Yu Jiuer explained: "We don't need to build many sheds, nor do we need to build too sturdy ones. After we have cleared the wasteland and planted crops, I plan to build a building here!"

Everyone responded enthusiastically:

"Build a building? Does the county magistrate want to move to the farm?"

"Then we will definitely build a good one for you, my Lord!"

"Make sure the county magistrate lives comfortably!"

Yu Jiuer smiled and said, "It's not for me to live here, it's for you to live here! You don't want to live in a thatched hut forever, do you?"

"What?" Everyone was stunned.

It was the captain Wang Meng who came to his senses first: "Sir, we are tough and strong, so we can just build a thatched hut to live in. How can we rough people like us afford to live in a building?"

"Don't underestimate yourselves. You are the first group of people to follow me. When the farm is open, your family members can come to work and live together in the building!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone became excited. They didn’t know whether to stand or squat. They were so happy that they didn’t know what to do!

These people never dreamed that they would be able to reunite with their families one day!

A wife, children and a warm bed, this is a lifelong dream that is out of reach for them. Can it really come true?

Someone suddenly said, "If that day really comes, it will be worth it for me to work so hard!"

"Yes!" everyone agreed.

Yu Jiuer was not joking, she wanted to build Yinshan County into a northwestern paradise. The first phase of the project was the farm, and there would be the second and third phases in the future, one step at a time.

She has already designed the blueprints for the farm dormitory and can start construction once the foundation is laid.

As for the stones needed to build the building, they still have to ask Xiguanying for them. They dug stones from several mountains to build the Great Wall. Those are all public property of Yinshan County. Although they didn't mine them, whoever sees them should get a share, right?

Oh! If she had known this would happen, she should have been more polite the last time she went to ask for the person. She should have smoothed out Cheng Ming's hair before she started to pull him out!

This is a difficult situation! I should have listened to my second uncle and given him a gift!

While we were busy here, my second uncle sent a message: "Prince Jing will arrive in Yinshan County tomorrow. The governor of Liangzhou will send him here personally, and ask us to prepare to welcome him!"

When Yu Jiuer heard the name "Prince Jing", her head went bewildered and she lost all confidence as she directed work in the wasteland.

"How about I pretend to be sick and hide?" Yu Jiuer hurried back to the county government office, fidgeting. "I didn't wear a mask that night. Although I put on makeup, who knows if Prince Jing would be able to recognize me?"

"Can you hide from the fifteenth day? Prince Jing has settled here, and it is impossible for the county magistrate not to pay a visit to Prince Jing, right? Wouldn't this arouse more suspicion?" The eldest sister was hit hard.

"Don't panic!" The old lady is still the most experienced, and she is still the most patient. "The more you panic, the more suspicious he will be. What else can you do if you don't recognize him?"

Yu Jiuer nodded like a little chicken pecking at rice: "Yes, yes, yes! I won't admit it even if you kill me! I won't admit it even if you kill me!"

The next day, Jiulipo

Jun Mo and his entourage drove in in a grand manner. Yu Jiuer, the new county magistrate, and her second uncle led the yamen runners and the common people to kneel down to greet them.

Jun Mo's carriage stopped in front of Yu Jiuer.

"Welcome, Prince Jing!" Yu Jiuer bowed respectfully.

After waiting for a long time, Yu Jiuer felt her knees ache from kneeling, and Jun Mo slowly lifted the curtain and said calmly, "Get up!"

Yu Jiuer rubbed her knees and stood up, secretly cursing him to ascend to heaven as soon as possible. Why was he still acting so arrogant when he was demoted to a corner? Why didn't he go to heaven?

"Where do I live?" Jun Mo's impatient voice came from above his head.

Yu Jiuer bowed her head and answered, "The county magistrate has already built a mansion for the prince in the "most prosperous golden area" in the county. You can go there and move in directly!"

She deliberately emphasized "the most prosperous prime location" so that this evil spirit could realize his situation. Why is he still acting so arrogant now that he has become a down-and-out ghost?

The so-called prime location is nothing more than that shabby piece of land near the commercial street in the county.

Yinshan County is poor, with nothing to buy on the shabby streets. The county is only slightly popular on market days every seven days.

"Wasn't the construction of this mansion supervised by the county magistrate himself?" The tone of her voice was clearly blaming her, the county magistrate, for dereliction of duty and slacking off!

Sure enough, there was nothing good in what the evil spirit said.

"In reply to Prince Jing, I have been busy with the imperial examinations before, and I am afraid that I may have overlooked the construction of Your Highness's mansion, so I have handed it over to the county magistrate to supervise. I hope Your Highness will forgive me!" Yu Jiuer replied tremblingly with her head down.

The most magnificent place in the entire county is the new Prince Jing’s Mansion. Are you still not satisfied?

If the court hadn't allocated funds, she would have ignored this evil spirit. Why couldn't the old emperor be more cruel and let this evil spirit live in a doghouse!

"Why do you always keep your head down? Where is your aura in the Golden Palace?" Jun Moheng suddenly narrowed his eyes and looked at Yu Jiuer. "You are breathing so fast when you see me. Why are you so guilty? Are you afraid of me?"

Yu Jiuer secretly said in her heart, "Oh no!"

Jun Mo, the evil spirit, had such amazing internal strength that he could even distinguish her heartbeat and breath.

so horrible!

But does this person have a tendency to self-abuse?

Is this a way for her to be respectful and polite to him?

Since he doesn't appreciate it, why should she be polite to him?

Thinking of this, Yu Jiuer raised her head with confidence, held her head high, chest out, stomach in and hips raised, and looked straight at him.

Let the storm come harder!

I don't think you could guess that the woman that night was the man in front of you.

Gathering up my courage, I hesitated whether I should tell him about Yu Jiuer's death right away.

Jun Mo lowered his eyes and stared at her for a long while, which made Yu Jiuer's heart tighten uncontrollably. Who wouldn't feel guilty when being a thief?

In the end, he just said insincerely: "It is said that Prince Jing is mighty, this humble official respects the prince!"

"Is your sister as bold as you? Isn't she my future princess? Why didn't she come out to greet me?"

Yu Jiuer's heart beat up her throat, she knelt down with a plop, and cried sadly: "I was just about to report to the prince that my sister accidentally fell into the water a few days ago and has ascended to heaven!"

Then he leaned forward and kowtowed, "I am guilty of not taking good care of my sister. Please punish me, Your Majesty! Wuwu~~"

This hard-working performance must be very good, and even an Oscar winner would have to admit defeat!

Jun Mo said playfully: "Really?"

Yu Jiuer nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

It was not known whether it was because she cried so emotionally that he felt compassion, or whether he did not mind at all. He only heard a faint voice from above his head: "My condolences!"

"Thank you for your understanding, Your Majesty!"

Just when Yu Jiuer thought she had escaped, Jun Mo asked again: "Who will compensate me with a princess?"

Yu Jiuer almost vomited blood. A young girl was lying at home just fine, but was inexplicably married to him. This was a disaster from the sky, and he didn't feel ashamed at all?

How could he have the nerve to ask her for compensation?

"Then how does Your Majesty want me to compensate you?"

Prince Jing sneered: "I haven't thought about it yet, so I owe you money first!"

The Alpaca in Yu Jiuer's heart was running wildly!

If you owe it, then you owe it. Who is afraid of who? Doesn't he know that a tiger in troubled times is bullied by a dog?

"Don't you want to owe it?" Seeing Yu Jiuer's dazed look, Jun Mo somehow had the urge to tease her.

"I owe you a debt!" Yu Jiuer hurriedly saluted, "If Your Majesty needs me, I will do my best!"

Jun Mo nodded with satisfaction: "Go back home! No one else needs to follow!"

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

It was not until Jun Mo walked away that Yu Jiuer subconsciously wiped the sweat from her forehead!

It would be best if we never see each other again!

If the child in her belly is a bad one and turns out to be as bad as his father, she will beat him to death!

He turned around and asked the people to stand up: "Everyone, go away! You have so much farm work to do! And you still come to serve these things? It's strange to have too many gifts!"

Some men's minds are unfathomable and impossible to guess!

Upon hearing this, the prefect of Liangzhou was so shocked that he waved his hands repeatedly and whispered, "Be careful with your words! Be careful with your words! A lean camel is bigger than a horse! If you want to die, don't drag me along with you!"

I almost forgot that Governor Dou of Liangzhou had been following Jun Mo here.

This guy is not an easy person to deal with. He hates dealing with these hypocrisy in the officialdom. Yu Jiuer bowed to him and said, "Just treat it as a fart! See you later!"

After saying that, he left him and walked straight towards the wasteland!
