The shameless female county magistrate shocked the government and the public
Chapter 37 Meeting an opponent in chess
After finishing their meal, they sat down at the tea table.
Jun Mo handed Yu Jiuer a cup of tea: "The hot pot is good, but I am not so easy to deal with! The county magistrate is not sincere enough!"
The evil spirit started to find fault. Yu Jiuer hadn't even taken a sip of tea yet and was about to stand up to reply, but Jun Mo raised his hand to signal her to stay seated: "No need to be polite, County Magistrate Yu! I don't like to associate with people who are hypocritical!"
Yu Jiuer muttered in her heart: Why didn't you tell me earlier! She was so nervous when she came in to eat that she couldn't eat enough.
The complaints in her heart did not prevent her from sitting down without any hesitation: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
After sitting down, Yu Jiuer immediately changed her face to a brotherly one, "Your Majesty is generous, Wushuang is lucky to be able to make friends with you! I wonder what kind of sincerity your Majesty wants?"
"Can you play chess?" Jun Mo answered the question irrelevantly.
"I know a thing or two!" Yu Jiuer had no idea what he was up to.
"Let's play a round first, and then we'll talk after you beat me!"
Yu Jiuer chose the black chess piece and made her move nervously.
Jun Mo held the white chess piece in his left hand, luring the enemy deeper.
Seeing that she was about to lose, Yu Jiuer withdrew her thoughts and focused on dealing with the problem, fearing that if she lost, he would eat her till nothing was left.
Yu Jiuer began to attack, pressing forward step by step, boldly and flamboyantly. Just like her character, she did not give in at all just because the other party was a prince.
Sometimes I make a wrong move and regret it shamelessly.
However, there was a flash of appreciation in Jun Mo's eyes. There were not many people who could play chess with him so calmly and easily, and even fewer people who could take on his risky moves. She was indeed quite capable.
After one round, the two sides ended up in a tie and set up a new round.
Jun Mo said as he went down: "Next spring, if County Magistrate Yu teaches the farming techniques, it will be a sign of sincerity!"
"Has the prince fallen to the point of farming?" Yu Jiuer exclaimed!
Jun Mo said sullenly, "You support 5,000 people, but I have to support 10,000 people. I'm just sitting there doing nothing!"
Yu Jiuer deliberately hesitated for a moment, and then said with difficulty: "To be honest, my farming skills are acquired through hard work and continuous practice. It is not easy. But since I can help the prince, it is an honor for me. Why would I be unwilling? It's just..."
This "but" Yu Jiuer deliberately prolonged her voice, and secretly glanced at Jun Mo from the corner of her eye. After confirming that he only frowned slightly but was not angry, she boldly put forward her request.
"It's just that we are short of supplies in winter. If we can get support from Your Majesty, we will be grateful to You."
Jun Mo suppressed the corner of his mouth that he couldn't help but curl up: "You really don't suffer any loss at all! Tell me! How much silver can I buy all your farming techniques?"
"Talking about money hurts our feelings! Am I the kind of person who is blinded by money?"
Yu Jiuer saw a flash of sarcasm in Jun Mo’s eyes: Isn’t it you?
She ignored it and cleared her throat, saying, "Your Highness has someone on his side. When you open up the wasteland, can you open up more land for us?!"
Farming is not difficult, but reclaiming wasteland is difficult! She only has so many able-bodied men, so she has to use them sparingly!
"So..." Jun Mo also imitated her tone, "If the harvest is good, you should at least give some food to the people who worked hard to open up the wasteland, right?"
Yu Jiuer almost couldn't swallow it in one breath. After thinking it over, she nodded and said, "Okay! You take three and I take seven!"
Jun Mo was satisfied now. By reclaiming wasteland, he could gain a technology to increase production, plus 30% of the grain for free. It was a good deal!
Just when I thought Yu Jiuer was quite sensible, I heard her add:
"However, I am bored in this winter, so I plan to repair some roads in the county to facilitate the carriage of the prince! But I don't have any extra money, I wonder if the prince can provide some financial support? After all, we are a cooperative relationship, right?"
"Cough cough cough!" Jun Mo almost spit out the tea that he had just put into his mouth.
"How much silver do you want for road construction?" She still can't stop being such a fox!
Yu Jiuer didn't feel embarrassed at all, and smiled innocently: "Of course the more the better! To be rich, we must first build roads! But Pan Yang still has the control over the Yinshan stones and materials. If the prince can let him donate something to the construction of the Yinshan road, then we should be able to save a lot of money!"
This will solve many of her problems!
Jun Mo thought for a moment and said calmly, "On the way back from the Western Regions, I saw you using a very powerful crossbow that could fire more than ten arrows in a row. How about you bring out your skills in exchange?!"
Wouldn't it be embarrassing for him to let her be a sheep? He must not suffer any loss from her!
"Deal!" She really didn't care much about a broken crossbow. After all, as long as the weapon wasn't used on her, who cares who it shot at?
Then the two of them played chess from noon to midnight. They were evenly matched and played to their heart's content.
The servants didn't dare to disturb her until Yu Jiuer felt a little chest tightness and came to her senses.
After giving birth, the two Mount Everests on her chest swelled dramatically. She had to bind her chest tightly to suppress them before going out. Now she felt the bra binder was a little tight.
"It's getting late, Your Majesty. I should go back to accompany my wife. I'll come back another day to play chess with Your Majesty."
After saying this, Yu Jiuer left, leaving Jun Mo who was still not satisfied.
After returning home, Yu Jiuer immediately began to plan the roads for Yinshan County. She believed that Jun Mo would be able to find a way to get Pan Yang to provide her with the stones.
All the roads in Yinshan County are still dirt roads, and they become muddy when it rains.
Taking advantage of the fact that there is not much farm work in winter, she will arrange workers to dig ditches, pave roads and build bridges.
Sure enough, within a few days, Pan Yang personally asked people to bring more than ten carts of stone.
Yu Jiuer was a little surprised when she heard the notification. She thought Pan Yang would at most send someone to call her over, but she never expected that he would actually bring her over in person?
It seems like he is really under Jun Mo's control!
Yu Jiuer came out to receive him personally and said politely, "General Pan not only donated the stone materials, but also delivered them personally. It is really touching that he is wholeheartedly working for the people! In the future, General Pan will be in charge of the stone materials needed for the roads in Yinshan County. When the road is repaired, I will have someone erect a monument for you so that future generations can worship you and be reluctant to leave Yinshan!"
Pan Yang's face turned red as if he had swallowed a fly. He moved his lips for a long time before uttering a few words: "You're welcome!"
He would be crazy to be reluctant to leave this damn place!
"Please come in and have a cup of tea!" Yu Jiuer made a gesture of invitation.
"No need!" If he stayed any longer, he would be angered to death by the shameless county magistrate.
When Yu Jiuer saw him walking away quickly with a cold face, as if there was a vicious dog behind her, the frustration he had caused in her heart was immediately swept away.
After a few busy days, Yu Jiuer fulfilled her promise, drew the blueprints of the crossbow manufacturing process, and ordered someone to send the crossbow she had used to Jun Mo.
Jun Mo received the crossbow and tried it himself. Combined with his internal strength, the power of this crossbow should not be underestimated.
The four guards on the side all widened their eyes. Jian Yi sighed: "During the battle along the coast of the Western Region, if every member of our archery battalion had a crossbow like this, we would not have been unable to take back the rich coastal areas of the Western Region!"
"Order people to develop it as quickly as possible. If you don't understand, just ask her!" Jun Mo's calm eyes flashed with surprise, and he couldn't let go of this crossbow.
Yu Jiuer originally thought that with the help of Prince Jing, everything in Yinshan was on track. Within three years, she would be able to achieve the goal of making the people of the whole county rich and prosperous.
But natural disasters and man-made calamities have once again visited this fragile county!
In December, there was heavy snow for several days in a row, and an avalanche occurred on the road to Liangzhou Prefecture. Fortunately, no one was buried.
But at this time, a large number of people in Yinshan County suddenly suffered from fever and cough, which was highly contagious.
Within five days, more than half of the people in the county had been infected.
Even four elderly people in their seventies died one after another.
Yu Jiuer thought of the modern SARS and COVID-19 epidemic, and her heart suddenly became nervous.
She quickly took isolation measures and asked two doctors to provide preventive measures.
"Through the observations over the past seven days, we found that most of the people who got sick were those with weaker immunity, usually the elderly and children, as well as those who already had illnesses." Liang Zihu explained the condition to Yu Jiuer.
"Now an area in the old housing area has been designated as an epidemic area for those who are sick to live in, but the problem is that they are weak and cannot take care of themselves, so we have to call in a few strong people to take care of them."
Yu Jiuer thought for a moment and said, "Send a notice to see if anyone is willing to take the lead and go to the epidemic area. Those who take the lead will be rewarded with 100 taels of silver! If not, I will go there myself!"
Within a day of the announcement being posted, dozens of people signed up.
"So many people? The people of Yinshan County value money more than their lives?" After receiving the news from her second uncle, Yu Jiuer shook her head and laughed.
The second uncle said, "How could you value money over life? It was because you said that if no one else took the lead, they would go by themselves, that they rushed to take the lead."
Second uncle pointed at the list and said, "Look at this lame uncle. When he heard you were going, he rushed over to grab the notice. And these few, the Tao Daye family, who has the most people in the family, said that they wanted to thank you for not abandoning them, and all three Tao men signed up at once."
"Except for some people who need to go in to take care of their families, the rest are going there for you, and they all said they don't want any reward!" The second uncle added.
