Chapter 362： Visit the Rice Terraces

Of course, the matter of Lin Family Village reached Lin Yuelan's ears.

Lin Yuelan just frowned slightly, but didn't say anything.

It's just that he has a better understanding of the people of Linjia Village.

Said to be white-eyed wolves, but it was them.

Lizheng has done a lot for Linjia Village in the past 30 years. It can be said that if Lin Yi didn't do his best for his family in the past 30 years, he would have settled in the village by relying on a corner at the foot of the Dayao Mountain in Linjia Village. , how can it be stable so far?

However, despite all the efforts, it was not worth Li Zheng's rejection once.

Lin Yuelan sighed softly and said quietly, "These people..."

After that, nothing was said.

Jiang Zhennan listened to her sigh, held her hand, and asked softly, "Yue'er, do you want to help Li Zheng?"

Lin Yuelan shook her head and said, "This is Li Zheng's own business. Unless necessary, I will not interfere."

As long as it doesn't involve life-threatening matters.

Jiang Zhennan wanted to say something else, but suddenly Lin Xujie came to report, "Master, the magistrate is here!"

Lin Yuelan raised her eyebrows and asked, "Ms. magistrate? Lord Liu?"

Lin Xujie replied, "Yes, Master Liu! It's in Lin Jiayuan now."

Lin Yuelan nodded and said, "Okay, I see."

Lin Xujie quickly disappeared.

Jiang Zhennan frowned, and said with some displeasure, "I'm afraid Mr. Liu came here after hearing about the development of sloping fields into terraced fields. Just what idea does he want to make?"

Jiang Zhennan didn't know this new county magistrate, so he didn't know whether this magistrate was here to visit and inspect with sincerity for the people, or to take credit.

You must know that such a major event that solves the problem of people's livelihood, once reported, in addition to getting great rewards such as gold and silver, it is more likely to be upgraded several times.

Such a great temptation, everyone will inevitably be moved.

Isn't the life of an official just to get rich?

Lin Yuelan shook her head and said, "I don't know. Let's go back and have a look first!"

With the Master Liu she knows, she shouldn't do such a thing, right?

But people are unpredictable, and she can't be sure of everything.

When Lin Yuelan and Jiang Zhennan returned to Lin Jiayuan, this Master Liu was very curious and visited this huge Lin Jiayuan with his subordinates.

Looking at the large courtyard with three entrances and three exits, with carved beams and painted buildings, green tiles and vermilion eaves, and green flowers and plants, they couldn't help but be fascinated.

Such a beautiful house and such a big yard, I can't imagine that this is in a corner village.

When Master Liu was fascinated, he heard the movement and immediately turned his head to see Lin Yuelan and Jiang Zhennan walking in side by side.

Lin Yuelan, he knew it, but he didn't expect it. After all, he just saw it not long ago.

But the other person, although dressed in simple clothes, exuded a cold and bloodthirsty evil spirit, and his body was powerful and majestic.

Master Liu secretly said, "This man is probably not an ordinary person."

However, he quietly turned his eyes away, and then, facing Lin Yuelan who came in, he said with a smile, "Miss Lin, stay safe?"

Lin Yuelan also smiled faintly, "Thanks to Mr. Liu, everything is fine! Mr. Liu, please come inside!"

A group of people came to the living room, and the servants quickly served tea for the group.

As soon as he sat down, Lin Yuelan said with a smile, "Master Liu is here, it really makes my little house more radiant!"

When a group of people heard Lin Yuelan say that she was such a beautiful big house, that it was a small house, the corners of their mouths twitched.

Such a house is a small house, so what is the house they live in, is it a small thatched hut?

If there is contrast, there will be harm!

Master Liu was hurt ten thousand points in his heart.

Of course, Master Liu doesn't care about the size of this official, he has to be a mess in the officialdom.

Master Liu replied with a smile, "Miss Lin, it's the official who bothered you." Immediately, his expression calmed down and he said very seriously, "Miss Lin, I won't give a shit. This time, I'm here. I heard that in your Taoyuan Village, you can develop land on the slopes. This official is just curious, so I came to take a look. I wonder if Miss Lin is willing to let this official satisfy her curiosity?"

Lin Yuelan replied with a smile, "Master Liu, you are so polite! You are going to see the terraces, of course!"

Master Liu nodded and said with a smile, "This official is just too curious about the appearance of the terraced fields, I hope Miss Lin doesn't mind!"

Lin Yuelan shook her head and said, "No!"

After a while, Master Liu couldn't sit still, he said, "Miss Lin, then we..."

Lin Yuelan nodded and said, "Then Master Liu, please!"

After a while, the group came to the terraced fields on the back hillside.

The county magistrate, Mr. Liu, also came to see the terraced fields, and it immediately blew everywhere like the wind.

Not long after, both Linjia Village and the villagers who came to visit Shiliba Village of Terraced Fields heard about the county magistrate and even came.

For a while, these villagers who had not seen much of the world, only met some villagers in the town's yamen, were curious about this Lord Liu, and had an instinctive fear of officials.

Then, they all gathered at the foot of the mountain, but did not dare to approach the terraced fields.

"This girl Lan is really amazing. She made a terraced field and even alarmed the magistrate!"

"Yeah. Look at the way this girl is chatting and laughing with Lord Liu, why aren't you afraid?"

"What's she afraid of? I've heard that I've seen the prefect, not to mention the county magistrate now."

"Ah? What else? She's a peasant girl, how could she have seen such a big official?"

"have no idea."

They really didn't know about Lin Yuelan's whereabouts and communication, so they were also very curious as to how Lin Yuelan got connected with these officials.

As soon as the magistrate came to the foot of the mountain, he looked up and saw the winding ridge of a mouth of paddy field. Even if he was below, he could still see clearly when the mouth of the field was full.

From time to time, you can also see the clear sound of water flowing down from a high place.

The county magistrate, Mr. Liu, was really surprised. He pointed to the ditches and asked, "Miss Lin, this... where does this water come from?"

Lin Yuelan smiled without answering and made a please gesture and said, "Master Liu, please!"

After being surprised for a moment, the county magistrate of Liu walked up the road, starting from the first field at the foot of the mountain, and then to the second...

The only thing he is curious about now is, where does this continuous stream of water come from?

In the past, sloping land could not be developed into fertile fields, but it was because the problem of water source irrigation could not be solved.

When they reached the middle of the slope, the county magistrate frowned and looked at this piece of forest trees left behind and what looked like a pool in the depression.

Master Liu asked curiously again, "Miss Lin, why does this piece continue to be preserved instead of being cut off and developed into a land?"

Lin Yuelan just said lightly, "Sir, this is reserved to solve the problem of water flow."

But didn't explain too much.

Because it is not necessary!

It's hard to say whether Master Liu's purpose for coming here this time is for the people or for merit.

Mr. Liu is smart, and when he heard Lin Yuelan's answer, he knew that he was reluctant to answer, and he felt a little unhappy.

Even though Lin Yuelan made friends with the former magistrate again, but now he is the magistrate of Anding County, and she is just a civilian peasant girl without any identity background.

So, no matter what, she should give a good answer.

Lord Liu frowned slightly to express his displeasure, which Jiang Zhennan instantly captured.

Immediately, his eyes narrowed, and his sharp eyes swept lightly towards this Master Liu.

Master Liu's senses were also keen. He felt two sharp rays of light swept towards him, and immediately looked at the source, and found that it was...

His expression was shocked immediately, and he secretly said again, "What a sharp look! Such eyes should not appear on an ordinary person. Who is this man?"

But then he thought of a rumor he heard from the former magistrate, saying that a man next to Lin Yuelan must not offend him, otherwise he would not know how he died.

"Could it be that the man Zhou said is this man? If it is him, it seems that we have to be careful today."

Master Liu continued to walk up, and the terraces above and below were no different.

Only when he reached the top of the mountain, he found again that the forest on the top of the mountain was also preserved, and there was also a pool-like thing, and he looked at the pool that was larger than the pool that went down.

He quietly said, "Could this be the source of the water?"

But it doesn't make sense?

Even if the function of these pools is to collect water and store water in rainy days, but sometimes it rains, even if it is received, it will not store much water, right? After all, in the middle and top of the slope, the water received will also seep down.

So how is it possible to have so much water pouring into the fields?

Although there were doubts in his heart, Master Liu did not ask any more.

Because he knew that even if he asked again, Lin Yuelan would not be able to answer him.

He is a county magistrate, so he doesn't want to be humiliated anymore.

Soon after, the group went down the mountain.

Just as soon as they reached the foot of the mountain, someone immediately stopped the magistrate to complain.

"Sir, you must be the master of the women," Li Cuihua's fat body knelt in front of Lord Liu.

Master Liu's subordinate's face darkened, and he secretly said, "Where is the ignorant woman, so ignorant. Knowing that this time the master is here for the terraced fields, she is screaming injustice here."

The leading yamen was about to scold Li Cuihua, but Mr. Liu waved his hand and asked, "What grievances do you have, let's hear it!"

Li Cuihua's eyes lit up and said, "Sir, I want to sue my third son for being disrespectful and unfilial!"

When Li Cuihua said this, she didn't startle Mr. Liu, but surprised the people watching the fun.

You know, Lin Sanniu, the third son in Li Cuihua's mouth, is the most filial son to them.

Now, this Li Cuihua actually sued her most filial son to the county magistrate? Everyone was shocked at first, and then there was a burst of mockery and ridicule.
