Poisonous Peasant ‘Concubine’

"Many thanks to shopkeeper Hong. There are ring sizes on the drawings, so please take care of shopkeeper Hong. We have to go to the county government to get the marriage certificate, and come back later to try on the clothes."

With that said, Ling Jingxuan and Yan Shengrui stood up together, the most important thing was yet to be done.

"No problem." Shopkeeper Hong personally escorted them to the door, and he didn't return to the store with the guys until he watched them disappear.

Chapter 176 The marriage certificate, the county magistrate has requested

To get the marriage certificate, you don't need to go through the county master, you can go directly to the county magistrate who is responsible for the management of warehouse paperwork and other work. The magistrate of Qingyang County is a man in his fifties. He looks very old and has a long goatee. He is Yan Shengrui When he announced his name, he didn't react at all. The two of them couldn't help but wonder. Later, after thinking about it carefully, they were relieved. Who was Prince Sheng? , It is difficult for ordinary people to associate a farmer with him, just like Ling Chenglong and others didn't feel much after learning his surname Yan, it is estimated that except for Ling Jinghan, who is born with many hearts, no one Will go to the truth.

"Just sign and sign separately here."

The old county magistrate quickly wrote the marriage certificate, handed it to them and pointed to the signature place below. The marriage certificate is in triplicate, similar to the marriage certificate in the 1980s in modern society, it is just a piece of paper, two newlyweds The undertaker of the county government and the county government must sign on it, and then each newcomer has one share, and the county government keeps a stub, and their marriage relationship is confirmed.

"Did I say you are so excited?"

Ling Jingxuan, who took out a special charcoal pen from his arms, inadvertently swept to Yan Shengrui who was holding the marriage certificate beside him. His hands were trembling slightly. Can be so excited.

"Long-winded! Hurry up and sign it!"

Being punctured in person, Rao Yan Shengrui couldn't help showing a little embarrassment. He glared at him, picked up the pen and signed the words "Yan Shengrui of Long Feifeng Dance" under it. Shaking his head, with a swipe of the charcoal pen, the three words Ling Jingxuan were also written arrogantly and domineeringly, and then the two changed their marriage certificates and repeated their signatures on three pieces of paper.

"Okay, congratulations to you two."

After the old county magistrate carefully confirmed that it was correct, he picked up the official seal of the county government and affixed it, and their marriage relationship was finally confirmed. "Thank you, county prime minister."

The two of them were in a rare good mood, they both clasped their fists and cupped hands to the old county magistrate, and did not forget to carefully fold the marriage certificate that belonged to them and put it in their purse.

"Young Master Ling? We have an invitation from our eldest master."

After receiving the marriage certificate, just as the two were about to leave, a clerk ran over. The two, who had no intention of disturbing the county master, looked at each other and had to visit Mr. Hu who had helped them a lot.

"Haha?? Xiaoling, this time, I finally let this county catch you. You really are, why don't you come to me directly when you come to the county office to do business?"

It was the study room last time. When he saw Ling Jingxuan and the others coming in, Hu Lizhi greeted them enthusiastically. Since the last time Ling Jingxuan asked him to buy land, he has made people pay close attention to those wastelands. Therefore, he basically knows their every move. , he also knew that the wasteland had changed a lot under his treatment, even now he was not sure that he would be able to plant something on it next year. Just looking at the ridge of the field, he would I also feel at ease.

"I have seen Mr. Hu, Mr. Hu is in charge of every day, how dare I disturb you with such a trivial matter?"

Ling Jingxuan raised a smile and clasped his fists and cupped his hands. He was still very fond of this county magistrate.

"Getting married is not a trivial matter, Xiaoling?? Who is this?"

Halfway through Huxian Magistrate's words, his eyes inevitably saw Yan Shengrui standing beside him. He was an official in size. Almost instantly, Hu Lizhi felt an overwhelming sense of oppression on him, and his eyes were filled with suspicion. , When did Qingyang County have such a brilliant character? Moreover, I don't know if it was his illusion, he always felt that he had seen this person before, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

"Hehe...he is my man, Sheng Rui. He doesn't talk much on weekdays, so please don't take offense, Lord Hu."

Glancing at Yan Shengrui along his line of sight, he saw that he was carrying one hand behind his back, his thin lips pursed lightly, his tiger eyes were undisguisedly sharp and intimidating, and his whole body was filled with arrogance and arrogance, Ling Jingxuan was unable to hold his forehead, as simple as possible. I gave him an introduction. This bastard is so handsome. If it makes the Magistrate Hu suspicious, they will get into trouble again.

"Sheng Rui?"

Although the county magistrate was not as dizzy as the old county magistrate, but with the word Shengrui, he would not doubt his identity. After looking at him twice, the county magistrate turned to Ling Jingxuan and said with a smile: "Xiao Ling is lucky, when will the wedding be held, can you prepare a wedding wine in this county?"

With that said, under his leadership, the three of them sat down on the chairs in the study one after another. Ling Jingxuan smiled calmly and said, "I'll do it tomorrow. If Master Ruo Hu doesn't dislike it, you are always welcome to come."

Although the county magistrate's official is not big, he is one of the parents' officials, and it is beneficial to have a closer relationship with him.

"Then the county is welcome, tomorrow will definitely arrive, Xiaoling, I heard that you have sorted out those wastelands, presumably you should also know that the sea water will be poured back in mid-October at the latest. Don't betray the county, what do you think? What are you going to plant next year?"

The politeness was almost over, Hu Lizhi turned to the topic he cared about in a timely manner, and the wasteland he cultivated also

I went to see it in person, and determined that he had done nothing except for people to dig ditches and open ditches, so he became more and more curious as to how he was going to grow things on that land.

"Hehe... Of course it can't be a waste of effort. The reason why the wasteland can't grow anything is because when the seawater is poured back, a large amount of salt is also deposited into the soil along with the seawater. Over time, the wasteland has formed a saline-alkali land. It is impossible for any plant to survive on it, and I built the soil ridge and dug a bigger and deeper ditches than ordinary fields, in order to wait for the seawater to pour in. The quality of salt is heavier than water. When the salt is poured in with the seawater. When the time comes, it will sink into the ditch and slowly immerse into the surface. In the coming year, the sea water will recede, and the remaining salt will also fade away. When the time comes, people will re-cultivate the land and push down the soil ridge to bury the ditch, and a meter of soil above it. The salt content is greatly reduced, and then some salt-tolerant plants should be selected. In theory, there should be no problem."

If it was better than the cover up last time, this time Ling Jingxuan explained it generously. He was also going to ask him to help with something, and he didn't plan to keep it from him.

"It sounds reasonable, but it does need practice. No wonder you didn't want to explain it at the beginning."

Touching his chin and pondering for a moment, Hu Lizhi muttered, decisively beautifying the purpose of Ling Jingxuan's concealment at the beginning, Ling Jingxuan did not explain, and changed a strange look with Yan Shengrui before continuing: "Master Hu, if it's not troublesome, I really have something. I need your help."

He originally planned to ask the shopkeeper Zhang for this matter, and even waited for Zeng Shaoqing to come to ask him to help, but since the magistrate Hu was so concerned, why should he go far?

"What's the matter, let's hear it."

Hearing this, Magistrate Hu took the teacup and took a sip, but did not rashly agree, Ling Jingxuan didn't seem to mind, he pulled his lips and said with a smile: "It's such a Mr. Hu, there are not many salt-tolerant plants, this is the first time. It is impossible for me to plant anything valuable in one year. After discussing with my family, we decided to plant all sorghum in the coming year. The sorghum seeds needed for more than 50,000 mu of land are not a small amount. What year and month did I go, so I wanted to ask Mr. Hu to do me a favor. Can you help me purchase a large number of sorghum seeds in Qingyang County in the name of the county government? Of course, I will not treat farmers who sell seeds badly. A pound of sorghum seeds costs three to four cents, and I will give them five cents, and I will also give them extra wages for the yamen who helped buy the seeds in the county government office, and I won’t let them do white work, what does Master Hu think?”

Most people rarely grow sorghum, because they only know that sorghum can be used as a broom, and they don't know anything else, so even if Mr. Hu came forward to help him harvest it, I am afraid it will be difficult to receive the amount he needs. Let Ling Jingpeng take someone to the next county to buy it.

"Yes, yes, but all of them are planted with sorghum, will it be too expensive?"

Hu Lizhi was inevitably a little reluctant to give up. If those lands were really able to grow things, all of them would grow some worthless sorghum, which would be a bit overkill.

"Hehe... Master Hu also knows that this first year is just an experiment, and no one can guarantee 100% that something will be grown. So far, among the salt-tolerant plants I know, only sorghum is the cheapest, even if it is I can only plant this one after a long fee. If something is actually planted, it will not be too late to think about planting the next year. These things can’t be rushed. We have to experiment step by step. ."
