Qiao Mai glanced at them, then at Yuan Jiaqi, "I want to seek some benefits for my husband."

When a few people heard it, they immediately pricked up their ears.

The Yuan family got confused, "Lady, you can tell me if you have something to do, and you must follow the rules as a husband!"

"Next year, the trees in She County will grow for another year. Use this year to promote new wheat varieties."

"A new type of wheat?"

"Yes, I have bred a batch of wheat seeds that are particularly cold-resistant. If possible, Shexian County can also grow two crops of grain in the future, and the yield per mu is very high. As long as there is soil and sandy land, it will firmly grasp it. The nutrients of the soil keep growing.”

All the men at the wine table swallowed, "How long does it take from planting to harvesting?"

"More than three months."

"Hiss, let me say, your wheat seed, can you share it with us?"

"No, I want to propose an official position to my husband,"

"You can pull it down, how long has he been in office? Now he is a fifth-rank county magistrate, how can you mention it?"

"Get a first-class county magistrate Dangdang?"

After a puff, everyone laughed, "Ms. Qiao really knows how to joke."

"Anyway, it will be your turn when my husband's county is promoted."

"Miss Qiao, we don't want to compete with your man for credit,"

"That's not OK."

Yuan Jiaqi was a little excited, "My lady, can you really increase the yield of wheat per mu?"

"When did I lie to you, didn't you tell me about it earlier?"

"Thank you, thank you lady for thinking about the people so much."

County Magistrate Zhu is jealous, Wang Zhifu smiled, no matter who planted the wheat first, it will be under his jurisdiction anyway, and he will have a share of the credit at that time.

It's just that he, like County Magistrate Zhu and County Magistrate Yuan, didn't want this credit because he was afraid of being transferred.

The old man has been watching them with a smile on his side all the time, he is happy that the Ming Dynasty has these good officials.

"Girl, show us your wheat seeds?"

"OK"

Like magic, Qiao Mai pulled out a small cloth bag from his cuff and put it on the table.

Several men stretched out their hands and grabbed a handful of wheat and looked at them again and again, "The grains are full, bigger and rounder than ordinary wheat seeds."

"Try planting for two seasons in Shexian County first, and if possible, then give it to other counties. Then you can discuss how to distribute the wheat seeds planted at that time."

"On behalf of the Acropolis, the people of the whole north thank you."

"Don't thank me first, let's talk about it after planting it. I estimate that land like Shexian County should be able to harvest more than 800 catties per mu, and land like ours should be able to reach more than 1000 catties."

Two county magistrates and one magistrate were excited when they heard this.

"If this is the case, the people of the Ming Dynasty will no longer have to worry about eating and drinking."

"Hmph, if you can't stop the oppression of corrupt officials, what's the use of high production."

"The emperor has harvested the heads of a group of officials, and those who buy and sell officials dare not act rashly in a short time."

"hope so"

Yuan Jiaqi watched them stuff the wheat into their mouths, quickly put the wheat seeds in their hands into the bag, and then put the bag into his cuff.

Qiao Mai smiled, "There's no need to be so careful. I still have a lot of wheat seeds in my place. When the time comes, you can choose a village with a good reputation as a trial planting site."

"After the new year, I will prepare. They will start digging the ground in March."

"Well, you can figure it out, I only provide high-quality wheat seeds."

finished? Magistrate Zhu pursed his lips, "Is this nothing to do with us?"

"Yeah, there's nothing wrong with you!"

"Ha ha"

The whole room was full of joy and laughter, more people are better, Mayor Qian sat for a while and then went back to accompany his wife.

County magistrate Zhu stayed until it was almost dark, and left with a cart full of delicious food he had scavenged from Qiao's house. The magistrate Wang sighed every time he came.

"To be honest, I don't even want to leave, your home is so comfortable"

"Then why don't you stay for a few more days?"

"No, there are a lot of things in the yamen, and you can't leave people anywhere,"

Even Zihan, who stayed with Feng'er and the others, didn't want to leave. At the end of March, he and Chuan'er made an appointment to end together.

They hit it off very well, and even the nine-year-old Ling'er started to have her own friends. It's only a new year, and her friends came to play with her.

In her room, there was laughter and laughter, and Jinmao didn't care when she was in the upper room, and let them make a fuss.

At night, Yuan Jiaqi hugged her in his arms.

"Miss, today is your New Year's surprise for your husband, right?"

"Work hard and try to get promoted as soon as possible, otherwise, how much our in-laws will look down on us?"

"What's wrong?"

"Think about it, the daughter of the Duke of Zhen, the princess, is she willing to marry her into our family?"

"That's why you use this method to get your husband to be promoted for meritorious service?"

"If you can be promoted, you can be promoted. If you can't, as long as his daughter is willing, our Qiao family will dare to marry."

The Yuan family took a long breath, "I must work hard for my husband."

"Um"

The prefect Wang's family of three lived in the town until the third day of junior high. The Yuan family left on the fifth day of junior high, and the family of Zhen Guogong arrived in the town on the sixth junior high.

They lived in Miss Mu's house. In order to get in touch with the person who tied the bell as soon as possible, Lord Zhen Guo sent a post on the same day, but he really didn't dare to put on airs.

The old man and the old lady were taken aback when they knew it, and they went to Qiao Mai together and asked.

"Hey, what's going on here, why are they all here?"

Qiao Mai said with a cold face, "You guys are not in charge of this matter, leave it to me, what do you usually do, and when the matter is resolved, I will tell you the ins and outs."

"Girl, don't act righteously?"

"Don't worry, I can withstand the sky falling, besides, how can I make it yellow about the two children?"

"That's good, then we won't show up."

"Um"

Seeing his wife lying in pain on the kang, Lord Zhen wished to cure her immediately, but he knew that there was no need to be in a hurry, this time it was his family who did not care about it.

The turbulent journey for ten days has already wiped out the arrogance of the Duke's wife.

Now she is lying on the kang weakly, with pitiful eyes, which makes people really angry and hateful.

Grandpa Guo sat on the edge of the kang, "I have already handed over the post, and you must apologize when you get there."

"I, I don't apologize to a village woman."

"Then you will lie on the kang for the rest of your life."

"you,"

"You haven't seen it clearly until now. Her martial arts are so high. It's easy to take revenge on our family. What's wrong with you keeping your head down for this family, for the children, and for yourself?"

"She dares!"

"She has already dared to kill more than a dozen of my hidden guards and made you like this again. Do you think she dares?"

"I listen to you, but I can't agree to be her in-law."

"I guess you just want to, people may not be willing."

"Exactly, I don't want to either."

Lord Zhen regretted that he had spoiled his wife too much for so many years, and he sighed.

The whole family anxiously waited for Qiao Mai's interview. One day passed, two days passed, and it was not until the ninth day of the lunar new year that Qiao's mother-in-law replied.

"My master said, please come over with your family on the tenth day of the Lunar New Year."

Having been here for several days, Qiao Mai has been refusing to let go, just wanting to make things difficult for Zhen Guogong's family.

If it weren't for the fact that Duke Zhen protects the country, and he treats his wife so well, she would have killed the family eight hundred times based on what the Duke's wife has done.

The old man and the old lady were very disturbed when they heard that Qiao Mai had exposed Zhen Guogong's family for several days.

Fearing that they would not be killed, the two families fought again.

Unexpectedly, Zhen Guogong's family was quite able to hold their breath, and there was no movement until the tenth day of the lunar new year.

Qiao Mai met them in the front hall of his home. Qiao Mai was dressed in ordinary clothes, not much attire.

Seeing is better than hearing a hundred things. Seeing Qiao Mai, Duke Zhen finally knew where his confidence lies.

From those calm eyes, he could tell that this woman looked at her family as if she looked at ordinary people.

He didn't look up to them because of his identity and status. What does that mean? It shows that people have confidence.
