Chapter 29: Yamen Runners

"So even if your family has been headmen for generations, you can make a little money, but you definitely can't get rich." Jiang Suying spread her hands and said, "Relatively speaking, you live a little better than other ordinary people in the village, but that's just a little bit, not much more."

"Ever since your father's original self started to study, our family's conditions have basically become the same as those of the poor families in the village. Therefore, your father's original self's road to study was paved with bricks, tiles and stones from many clansmen. The clansmen also contributed to his success in passing the exam."

"Your father was also grateful, so after he passed the imperial examination and became an official, he always gave back to the village and worked hard to develop and expand the family."

"He has such a strong sense of responsibility!" Jiang Xiaomi exclaimed.

"Indeed, it is because of his painstaking efforts over the past decade that Jiangjia Village is what it is today. We are lucky to have it." Jiang Suying sighed, "I said so much to tell you two that Jiangjia Village can be united if managed properly. Natural disasters are inevitable, but man-made disasters can be stopped."

"Ah? Mom, you don't want to poison anyone, do you? Whoever dares to disobey..." Jiang Xiumian was terrified and waved his hands repeatedly: "Not at all! Although this is ancient times, there are laws. Even if they are not perfect, even if there are loopholes, they are still laws. We can't do anything illegal...right?!"

Jiang Suying: "…"

This unlucky child.

She rolled her eyes at him. "When the opportunity comes, I will save a few more people and raise our family's prestige in the village. I will try to be the one who sticks to my word. If there are still some bad apples, or even black sheep, who keep disrupting the situation..."

Jiang Suying didn't finish her words, but Jiang Xiaomi and Jiang Xiumian looked at each other, exclaimed "Ah——" and hugged each other - in terms of cruelty, it has to be the mother!

Jiang Suying laughed angrily and slapped each of them: "Who do you think your mother is? I am a doctor who saves lives, how can I take human life lightly!"

"Yes, yes, yes! You, doctor!" Jiang Xiaomi and the other person nodded hurriedly, not daring to refute at all.

Jiang Suying wanted to say something when the loud sound of a harvester came from outside the yard. Jiang Xiubai came back with the grain harvest from more than 150 acres of land.

Coincidentally, the bailiff came to the Jiang family with a handwritten letter from the county magistrate to the head of the village, and ran into the harvester head-on.

The two yamen runners looked up at Jiang Xiubai in the harvester cab, completely stunned.

"Master Jiang, you..." After a long while, the two yamen runners finally found their voices and pointed at the harvester: "What is this?"

They can guarantee that there is no such thing in the entire Chunzhou County!

If they are not mistaken, this thing is made of iron, right?

After all, the two men were from the government, so they naturally knew that the purchase of iron was restricted.

There is a limit to the amount of iron that each household can purchase.

How many tons of iron does this thing require?

Could it be new military supplies?

The expressions on the two bailiffs' faces froze instantly.

This Lord Jiang just resigned from his post and returned to the countryside...

Could it be that they were punished for treason?

No, no, if they were treasonous, the whole village would have either been chopped to pieces or on the way to exile.

Jiang Yipei felt a little worried as he looked at the two yamen runners whose expressions kept changing, not knowing what they were thinking about.

Although he had not thought of hiding the harvester all the time - after all, such a big noise could not be concealed from the villagers.
