Chapter 467 White Deer Village
Chapter 467 White Deer Village
"Okay, okay, come and sit with us."
At this time, the driver outside the carriage asked: "Sir..."
"Let's go now!"
After An Yue sat down, she gently lifted a corner of the curtain on the carriage window and glanced towards her shop.
Chunzhi in the shop waved to An Yue, who nodded in understanding and then slowly lowered the curtain.
The carriage moved forward slowly, the rolling wheels making a creaking sound, and the officials standing in two neat rows followed the carriage at a constant speed.
Inside the carriage, Magistrate Qi said with a smile, "Haha, Miss Anyue, Jin'er has always been noisy since she was little. I hope Miss Anyue won't laugh at me."
So far, she had only met Magistrate Qi twice, and was not familiar with Miss Qi.
An Yue nodded slightly and replied cautiously: "I dare not."
An Yue was riding in the same carriage with them, feeling very uneasy.
Along the way, Qi Jiner raised her hand to lift the curtain, looking curiously at the people and things outside the carriage.
Magistrate Qi was talking with Anyue about composting.
Soon, they arrived at the village closest to the county town.
——Bailu Village.
As soon as the county magistrate, An Yue and others entered the village, they saw that they had already prepared the raw materials for composting in advance.
An old man stood in front, and the villagers gathered together, as if waiting for the county magistrate and Anyue.
When the villagers saw that it was Magistrate Qi, they all knelt down and said, "Mr. Magistrate."
County Magistrate Qi quickly stepped forward and helped the elderly man up: "Village Chief, please stand up quickly."
Then he said to all the villagers: "Everyone please stand up quickly. This is not a court. There is no need to perform formalities."
"Today we are mainly dealing with the composting issue. If you have any ideas, feel free to speak them out. I will pardon you all."
The villagers slowly stood up, but there was still some confusion and vigilance on their faces.
Magistrate Qi said loudly to everyone: "Fellow villagers, I brought Miss An Yue here today so that she can personally teach you how to make compost."
After Magistrate Qi finished speaking, the villagers bowed their heads and remained silent.
After a while, a dark-skinned man stepped forward and said, "Mr. County Magistrate, we have never heard of composting before, although we know you have good intentions."
"But now, it is the busy farming season, and we need to take care of the fields at home as soon as possible. We really can't delay."
Seeing this, An Yue walked forward calmly and said, "Dear villagers, I am from Baili Village, my name is An Yue, and you don't know much about composting."
"But... please believe me, composting has been promoted in Baili Village for three years."
"The crops in Baili Village are growing very well and the yield is very high. If you don't believe me, you can visit Baili Village in person."
After hearing what An Yue said, some villagers began to waver.
An Yue continued, "This compost is a fertilizer I personally researched and has been fully implemented in Baili Village. The yield of crops in every household has increased significantly."
"That's why the county magistrate is promoting composting so vigorously."
The man then said, "Little girl, you said that you researched this composting method yourself?"
An Yue replied angrily, "Yes."
"But I see that the girl is only about 10 years old. If I ask you to teach us how to farm, wouldn't it be a huge joke if it spread to other villages?"
At this time, the old man with a cane on the side coughed twice, walked forward and shouted angrily: "Er Linzi, shut up!"
The man lowered his head and muttered quietly, "It was the county magistrate who told us to say whatever we wanted to say."
The old man raised his cane and knocked the man on the buttocks, saying unhappily: "The county magistrate asked everyone to speak boldly, but he didn't ask you to make trouble!"
The man was hit by the village chief. He rubbed his butt in pain and obviously became obedient.
"Yes...it's the village chief."
Magistrate Qi stepped forward slowly and said to the villagers, "I understand your concerns."
“But think about it, if no one makes any changes and accepts new things, how can the future be better?”
The old man turned around and said, "Mr. County Magistrate, I know you are our bread and butter. We should obey whatever you say and should not question your orders."
"But in this village, every household has to drag their family, old and young. It really can't stand the trouble."
An Yue knew that they were worried that after all the trouble, the output would decrease instead of increase.
The Qi County Magistrate knew what they were thinking, so he said, "How about this! This year, Bailu Village will implement the composting method. If the crop yield drops sharply, the tax revenue will be reduced by half. How about that?"
"We all know that all these taxes must be reported to the court. At that time, my lord..."
"Don't worry, village chief. I will take care of everything and will never let you take the blame."
When the villagers heard what County Magistrate Qi said, they were all so moved that they knelt on the ground again.
The old man said excitedly: "Sir, Yongchuan County has an honest official like you who is close to the people. It is a blessing for us common people."
"Hurry up and get up! Everyone, cooperate in making compost."
After County Magistrate Qi finished speaking, he turned and looked at An Yue.
An Yue stepped forward and began to guide the villagers in making compost.
An Yue first explained the production method and principles of composting, as well as the raw materials needed.
As the villagers listened to An Yue's explanation, the confusion on their faces gradually disappeared.
The village chief stroked his gray beard and nodded, saying, "Well, I think what this girl said makes sense. Let's give it a try."
Dozens of strong men gathered here, and they all responded loudly: "Okay, okay..."
Next, they began to follow An Yue's instructions, step by step.
Under An Yue's careful guidance, the villagers worked enthusiastically and everyone devoted themselves to making compost.
They had a clear division of labor. One group of people carried the raw materials, while others went back to grind the soy milk and carried it to the pit. They began to stir it and pile it in the pit according to An Yue's instructions.
An Yue checked and corrected from the side to ensure that every step was accurate so that the fermentation could be better.
Magistrate Qi was delighted as he watched the villagers actively making compost, with his hands behind his back.
Qi Jin'er stood next to the county magistrate, watching An Yue commanding everyone in an orderly manner, and she was completely stunned.
She stared at An Yue and said, "Daddy, she is really an amazing woman."
"Well, learn from others more!"
......
At noon, under the leadership of the village chief, County Magistrate Qi, An Yue and others prepared to have lunch at the village chief's home.
Lunch was not ready yet, so An Yue planned to take a walk around the village chief's house while she had some free time.
Suddenly a voice came from behind.
"Hey!"
