The shameless female county magistrate shocked the government and the public

After more than a month of hard work, five water wheels were finally made.

The craftsmen of the Lu family can easily turn a piece of wood into smooth and round parts with their superb skills.

This alone was enough to make Yu Jiuer look at them with new eyes, and she secretly sighed in her heart: It was right to go to the coastal area of ​​the Western Regions!

The waterwheel is made up of these precise parts, making it flexible and practical. It is built between the river and the paddy fields to irrigate the paddy fields, and it looks particularly spectacular from a distance.

With the addition of water wheels, farmland irrigation became quick and easy. The workers felt fresh and new, and they cheered around the water wheels, finally no longer having to wear out their shoulders to carry water.

This waterwheel has become the iconic building of the farm!

Seeing the rolling waterwheel, Yu Jiuer had an idea and said to Lu Da: "Uncle Lu, I also want to design a special waterwheel there. With the help of the force of water, the waterwheel can be powered. The rotating waterwheel can drive the flail for threshing as long as the gears are installed."

Lu Da's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he drew inferences from it, "It can also be used to make a roller or a stone mill. With gears attached, it can also use the power of the waterwheel to not only thresh the rice but also grind things, saving time and effort!"

"Good idea! Uncle Lu, let's do it! When the mill is ready, I will make tofu for you." Yu Jiuer became interested.

Lu Da recalled: "Tofu? I remember eating it once in Liangzhou when I was a kid and going out with my elders. It was full of bean fragrance and had a tender and smooth texture. I will never forget it after eating it, but I never had the chance to eat it again."

"I didn't expect that this common thing that can be seen everywhere in the capital is actually a food that many people in Yinshan have never eaten." Yu Jiuer said self-deprecatingly.

"There are also rice dumplings, moon cakes, steamed buns, etc. Many people in Yinshan have never heard of them, especially those under the age of 30. They have been living in poverty since the invasion of the Western Regions. I, as a county magistrate, am ashamed!"

"Sir, please don't underestimate yourself. If it weren't for the three generations of good county magistrates in Yinshan, I'm afraid the people would have a harder time."

"Uncle Lu, what you said is really insulting to me. I am nowhere near as good as my grandfather and father!" Yu Jiuer blushed.

"Sir, you passed the imperial examination at the age of sixteen, asked the emperor to return the people to serve, and opened a farm to feed the people. Each of these is an amazing achievement!"

Yu Jiuer smiled and shook her head, looking at the rolling waterwheel in the distance, and fell into deep thought. She had much more to do.

After the waterwheel was completed, Lu Da hurried to make a windmill. He was a man with a quick mind and could think of a solution to a problem. He also made a stone mill next to the windmill, which made it much more convenient to grind beans or rice flour in the kitchen.

Two months passed in a flash.

Yu Jiuer's belly is almost six months old and is already showing, and it's a little big. She thinks she's carrying twins.

Fortunately, the official uniform I was wearing was big enough to cover it up.

On this day, good news came from above that the emperor rewarded Yu Jiuer and her team for their meritorious service in sneaking into the coastal areas of the Western Regions and rescuing the people of Yinshan.

The second uncle came over proudly and delivered the imperial edict he had just received: "The emperor said that the Yinshan County Magistrate saved the people, and his contribution to the country will benefit the country for thousands of years, which cannot be measured by money. You are allowed the right to enter and exit the border freely, and you are rewarded with 10,000 taels of silver."

Yu Jiuer rolled her eyes and muttered, "Stingy is stingy, and you're still looking for excuses for being stingy? Another ten thousand taels, how can he afford it as an emperor? Does he really think I don't understand the market? I'm not afraid of being hit by money, why doesn't he give more?"

The second uncle was so frightened when he heard this that he quickly covered Yu Jiuer's mouth: "My ancestor, you really dare to say anything! Is this something you can complain about?"

Yu Jiuer sighed and said, "I know! I just nag my second uncle. Thank you for helping me manage the affairs of the county government so well, so that I have enough time to engage in production! Ten thousand taels is ten thousand taels! Something is better than nothing! Now I can buy more livestock to raise."

Forget it, this is just her achievement and she doesn’t have the face to ask for more.

"More buying? Haven't you already bought fifty cows, a hundred pigs, and five hundred chickens, ducks, and geese?" Second Uncle almost jumped up. "The crops haven't even been planted yet, what are you going to feed them?"

Yu Jiuer comforted him, "Don't worry, Uncle. Haven't we planted all the crops? It's been more than three months, and we'll have a harvest soon. Besides, hasn't the Emperor sent us silver again?"

If her second uncle knew that she was planning to buy another thousand chickens, a thousand ducks, and a thousand geese to raise, wouldn't he jump up and call a family meeting to whip her?

Buying it secretly first and acting first and reporting later has always been her trump card.

With such a big farm, and so many mouths to feed, how could it be enough if we don’t feed more?

Winter is coming soon. If you don’t prepare food for the winter in the northwest, you will die.

She also wants to net the river and raise some fish in it.

Everything requires money!

The old emperor is so stingy. He saved so many people, but they didn't deserve food and drink? Couldn't he give more rewards?

"By the way, what reward did the Xiguan Camp get? Did General Cheng become the commander-in-chief?" Yu Jiuer asked.

The second uncle shook his head and said, "No, the emperor sent someone else to take over the post of commander-in-chief and only rewarded General Cheng with some silver."

"I said the old emperor was stingy! Who did he send to take charge of the West Gate Camp? I have to send some gifts to show my presence. In the future, I will have to rely on the West Gate Camp for some things!"

Yu Jiuer was thoughtful. For example, if they wanted to go out of the country to the coast of the Western Region, it would be impossible without the help of Xiguan Camp!

"He is a general named Pan Yang. I heard he was recommended by the eldest prince."

"The eldest prince?" Yu Jiuer's heart sank suddenly. She had heard that the eldest prince was vicious and cunning, and that he did not get along well with Jun Mo. She did not expect that Jun Mo was demoted to Yinshan and could no longer be a problem to him, but he still refused to let him go?

Second Uncle suddenly thought of something, slapped his forehead and said, "Oh, I almost forgot, the emperor has issued an oral order. Prince Jing disregarded his own safety and went out of the border to blow up the ship. The emperor ordered us to assist the West Pass Camp to keep an eye on Prince Jing and not allow him to go out of the border again."

Yu Jiuer was confused. Even after banishing Prince Jing to Yinshan, why did she still care so much about his safety?

Did he restrict his son's actions because he really loved him, or was there something else going on?

Political struggle is a very deep water!

She just wanted to protect her own piece of land, but the old emperor found things for her to do.

Jun Mo is not a dog, how can she keep an eye on him?

Not only did she not want to keep an eye on him, she was also thinking about thanking him.

If he hadn't blown up the ship to attract the five princes from the Western Regions this time, she wouldn't have been able to save so many people, and he also saved her.

The next day, Cheng Ming came to Yu Jiuer to buy wine, and took the opportunity to complain about the depression in his heart.

"I heard that Prince Jing suffered a setback this time and has been drinking all day long. He is very depressed. I guess the emperor and the princes have plotted against him. All his military power has been taken away, and even his freedom has been restricted. He looks so pitiful. Why don't we go and have a drink with him? After all, we have been through life and death together, so we can be considered friends in need!"

Yu Jiuer quickly refused: "I won't go! You go by yourself! Being on good terms with such a powerful person, aren't you afraid of getting yourself into trouble?"

She still had evidence of insulting his self-esteem in her belly! It was almost like a fight to the death with him.

No matter how eloquent Cheng Ming was, Yu Jiuer refused.

She is so pregnant now that she has to cover herself up even when she stands up, so how can she dare to be so unrestrained?

Cheng Ming finally said, "No loyalty!" and left!

Thinking of Jun Mo, Yu Jiuer was in a good mood. Is he decadent?

It’s good to be decadent!

If she is depressed, she won't cause trouble for her or make things difficult for her, giving her some time to buffer.

It's really the right time for him to be decadent. I hope he can be decadent for another year!

When you are in a good mood, the air feels especially fresh. After more than three months of reclamation, this piece of wasteland in the west of the city has begun to take shape.

There is a dirt slope at each end of the vast plain, which looks like two bulging sheep horns from a distance, and the farm looks like a big sheep's face.

Yu Jiuer thought to herself: He really looks like Pleasant Goat!

The two sheep-horn earth slopes are planted with cotton, and the large plain is covered with lush green crops. It would certainly be extremely beautiful if photographed from the air using modern aircraft.
