The Female Officer Became a Farmer After Getting Reborn

The city wall of Qingchuan County has also been repaired, and the county government has begun to rebuild. The wasteland bought by Li Yu has been sown with wheat seeds, and Zhuangzi has been built. Li Yu went to Yaxing and bought a few rough and sent his servants home to take care of it. They went to the village to buy some piglets and chickens and took them home. Li's mother and daughter moved to the village, and An Xin helped Li Yu cook for the servants, feed the pigs, and raise chickens.

Yuniang sold her house on West Street and stayed home for half a month. Then she returned to the city and went to Li Yu's house to ask for a meeting with Li Yu. After meeting Li Yu, she said, "Madam, I want to sell myself to you."

Li Yu looked at Yu Niang in surprise, "You want to sell yourself, why?"

"I don't want to get married, I want to serve my wife," Yu Niang said with a plop, kneeling in front of Li Yu, "Madam, please accept me! You don't need any money!"

Li Yu couldn't help but pulled up Yu Niang who was kneeling on the ground, "What happened? Why do you want to sell yourself so well!"

Yuniang clasped her hands together and begged: "Madam, please accept me! I have already thought about it. I will sell the house on West Street before I go back. I will take the money from selling the house and the money I have saved over the years when I go home." I gave all the money to my brother and sister-in-law to buy fields, and I will come back to serve you! Even if I go to the village to feed the pigs!"

Li Yu looked at Yu Niang with a determined look on his face, nodded and said, "I'll accept you. Don't rush to write the contract for now. How about you try it out for a few days first?"

Xiaoyu smiled happily and said, "As long as you use me, no matter what happens, I'll go to work."

"Okay, you go and hire a doctor for me first. Xiaoyu has been so sleepy these days that she can even fall asleep even sitting down."

"Hey!" Yu Niang agreed crisply and went out.

Zhou Jia and Mr. Qian came back from outside covered with dust. Zhou Jia said to Li Yu: "Yu'er, many sections of the river in Qingchuan are blocked by silt. I want to take advantage of the dry season to organize people to dredge the river and strengthen the dams." . Otherwise, we will be in trouble when the rivers swell during the next rainy season.”

"It's time to take precautions as soon as possible. When the rainy season comes, it will be too late. I think the county government office and streets should be completed in the winter months. Things are on the right track here. Our fields in Qingshui Town have been occupied and we haven't had time to go back and deal with them. Woolen cloth!"

"Yes! As for Ah Qing and the others, I don't know if they have received our letter. How did Ah Qing do in the exam? We don't know either!"

While the two were talking, Yu Niang led the doctor into the courtyard. Zhou Jia looked at Li Yu worriedly, "Yu'er, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

Li Yu glanced at him angrily, "Xiaoyu has been feeling miserable these past few days, with no energy, and Ruyi is busy with things at the construction site. I asked Yuniang to ask the doctor to come and take a look. You see, Yuniang took her to Xiaoyu's place. .”

Zhou Jia led Li Yu toward the room, "I was shocked. I still have my clothes on, but I have to go back to the Yamen."

Li Yu took out the clothes Zhou Jia needed to change and said to Zhou Jia: "Xiao Xi, after the county town is restored, the number of vendors in the city will slowly increase. You should plan carefully and arrange them in fixed locations. We should also build a few public toilets in the city and hire disabled and helpless old people to clean them. If they can earn a certain amount of money, they will have a source of livelihood. If the city is clean, it will be less likely to breed diseases!"

After hearing this, Zhou Jia thought for a while and looked at Li Yu with surprise on his face, "Yu'er, your ideas are very good, but where do those people's wages come from?"

Li Yu said with a smile: "You just designate a fixed stall and ask the stall owners to collect some sanitation fees! Send some yamen patrols every day to prevent those local ruffians from collecting protection fees. They charge dozens of fen a month." For money, those vendors will be willing to teach.”

Zhou Jia hugged Li Yu and said with a smile: "Okay, your idea is good. Let's make a good plan when I come back!"

In Fengming Town and Fengming Village, Tongzhou, Li Qing and Alei just got out of the carriage, holding Li Yu's letter in their hands, and ran towards Li Mei's house. Li Mei, holding Brother Zhu, saw Li Qing's happy look and said with a smile: "Ah Qing! Why did you come home from the academy today?"

Li Qing shouted happily: "Aunt! My sister was granted the first-grade title of Protector of the Country, and my brother-in-law was granted the sixth-grade title. He has already gone to Qingchuan County, Qingzhou to take up his post!"

Li Mei clapped her hands in surprise and smiled: "A first-grade lady, a sixth-grade official, but my uncle is still more powerful, five levels more than Yu'er!"

After hearing this, Li Qing burst into laughter, "Aunt! Madam Yipin is the highest-level title among the imperial wives, and she was granted the title by His Majesty's decree. Brother-in-law and sister are far behind. However, sister-in-law has no real power, only brother-in-law does. .”

Li Mei only covered her mouth and smiled, "Oh! I thought the bigger the number, the bigger the official! Go and talk to Uncle Zhou, we have to celebrate! Celebrate!"

"Okay," Li Qing looked at Brother Zhu who was hiding behind Li Mei, "Brother Zhu, have you finished the homework assigned to you?"

Brother Pig looked at Li Qing with a chubby face, "I've finished my homework, brother. It's not fun to do homework. Brother Pig doesn't like it! Let's play officers and soldiers and catch robbers, shall we?"

Laidi came in from outside and said to Li Qing: "Aqing! Brother Zhu's homework is a mess, please deal with him quickly!"

Brother Pig turned around and ran away, "Second sister is bad, I won't play with you anymore, I'll go find the eldest sister!"

Laidi looked at Li Qing strangely, "Ah Qing, why did you leave and then come back? What's the matter?"

Li Mei looked at Lai Di and said with a proud smile: "Your cousin has been granted the title of First-grade Protector of the Country. A Qing said that she is the highest-ranking Lady, even greater than your brother-in-law's sixth-grade official. We must celebrate!"

Li Qing took the letter to Zhou's house, handed Zhou Jia's letter to Uncle Zhou, told Uncle Zhou the news that Li Yu and Zhou Jia had been granted the title, and said to Uncle Zhou: "Uncle Zhou, I My aunt said, we have to have a good celebration, I'll go make arrangements."

Uncle Zhou smiled happily and said, "Young Master Qing, go and do your homework. Just let me do it!"

"Okay! Read the letter first!"

When Uncle Zhou saw Zhou Jia's letter, he said that he had avenged his mother, and that Li Yu had been granted a title. He told Uncle Zhou that they had set off for Qingchuan to take office. Uncle Zhou went to the small ancestral hall, knelt in front of the memorial tablet, and cried. Zongheng said, "Old Master, madam, the young master has become famous, and the young madam has even made a first-class wife. You can reincarnate with peace of mind!"

The news that Li Yu and Zhou Jia returned to Qingzhou to serve as officials spread throughout Fengming Village. Everyone gathered together happily to celebrate. The old village chief said to Chen Yaozu: "When will you have time to go back and take a look at our fields and ancestral graves?" , it’s time to go back and take a rest.”

Chen Yaozu smiled and said: "Dad! Now that the world is peaceful, how about I go back and take a look after the year?"

The old village chief put his hands on his hands and smiled and said, "Okay, let's all take some time to go back and take a look."

Liu Changmin saw everyone's happy faces and smiled: "Uncle village chief, do you know who I saw when I was delivering goods to Tongzhou a few days ago?"

Chen Yaohui said anxiously: "Who is it? Don't be so secretive, tell me quickly!"
