After being bound to the learning system in my mother's womb, I became the empress

Chapter 258 The county magistrate is going to hold a threshing competition

Lin Xi picked up a sterilized golden needle, inserted it into an acupuncture point on Lin Chengjun's leg, and directed the internal force through the golden needle into a blocked meridian.

Her inner energy was gentle and cool, like a small stream of clear water washing through her meridians.

Two hours later, the meridian was opened.

Lin Xi withdrew the needle and let out a long breath.

With her current intermediate level of medical skills, it was still a bit reluctant to perform this acupuncture operation.

After acupuncture, she felt like she had been hollowed out.

There is also some swelling and pain in my head.

Lin Wushang picked her up under her armpits and put her on the couch, then brought a bowl of honey-water.

After drinking honey-water, Lin Xi felt much better.

"According to this progress, it is estimated that it will take two months to completely heal your second uncle's leg."

Damage is easy to repair.

The meridian she opened just now was just an insignificant one among the dozens of broken meridians.

Lin Chengjun was lying on the bed. When he heard Lin Xi's words, he grabbed the sheets under him with both hands.

Two months!
Will his leg be cured in just two months?
He suppressed the excitement and joy in his heart. It was too early to be happy now. What if something happened?

Before leaving, Lin Xi gave Lin Wushang a drawing of a wheelchair.

"This is a wheelchair. You have someone build it for your second uncle to use. Let him sit in the wheelchair and relax when he is free. It will help his legs recover."

Lin Wushang looked at the wheelchair on the drawing. It was clearly designed specifically for people with disabled legs. He felt moved and asked, "Is there anything you want?"

Lin Xi: "I will accept gold, silver and jewelry."

Lin Wushang laughed and brought her a box full of shiny gems the next day.

Within a few days, Lin Wushang had someone build a wheelchair. Lin Xi looked at it and even sat on it to try it out, "Well, there's no problem."

Since then, Lin Chengjun has his own exclusive seat, and he can go wherever he wants by turning his wheel, no longer needing to rely on others.

People don’t stay at home anymore.

If you have nothing to do, go outside to enjoy the wind, bask in the sun, and look at the flowers, plants, and trees.

After having more contact with nature, his mood also improved, and his whole person became visibly brighter.

On this day, the old man came to visit his son in another courtyard. He saw that he had swept away the gloom of the past and actually turned his wheelchair and played Cuju with Yuandong in the courtyard.

Unexpectedly, the image of him running around playing Cuju with his elder brother as a child appeared before his eyes.

His second son, who had been depressed for so many years, has regained his vitality.

very nice.

After Lin Xi finished her treatment that day, she went to Donggu to pack a space of ice cubes. The ice cubes at home were almost running out.

After arriving home, Lin Xi saw a maroon horse tied under the lush elm tree outside the yard.

Three government officials came to the house, and Hao Po and the village chief, Shui Gen Shu, also came over.

The yamen leader was Zhang San, who had brought people to arrest Liu Guangzong before. This time he came to deliver a message for the county magistrate.

"The county magistrate plans to hold a threshing competition in half a month to see which village can thresh out the most millet within the specified time.

"Each village has three people, and the village that gets No. 1 will not only be exempted from this year's taxes, but will also receive a reward from the county magistrate.

"However, if you want to participate in the competition, you have to pay a registration fee of one tael of silver."

After receiving the news, they drank iced mung bean soup and ate iced fruit at Lin's house. Zhang San and the others left with satisfaction and went to other villages to notify.

That night, Liu Shuigan held a collective meeting and told the villagers the news.

The villagers were very excited when they heard that the winning village would be exempted from taxes and would be rewarded by the county magistrate.

I can’t wait to participate immediately and get first place.

But when they heard the registration fee of one tael of silver, everyone fell silent again.

"One tael of silver is not a small amount. If we don't get first place, will the money be returned to us?" "Isn't the county magistrate trying to make money through this threshing competition?"

"I heard that the county magistrate used to dig food in the fields. He became an official just because he was very filial. I am also very filial, so why am I not destined to be an official?"

When everyone had finished talking, Liu Shuigan spoke.

"The registration fee is non-refundable. It's one tael of silver. Split it up. Each household pays ten cents. You go back and think about it. You have three days to register."

Someone suddenly said: "The Lin family is so rich. Opening a shop in the town can make more than one tael of silver a day. Let the Lin family pay for it."

Before Lin Chunniang could say anything, Sister-in-law Tian responded on her behalf.

"Liu Guihua, no matter how much money the Lin family makes, it is all earned by their own ability. Why do they have to contribute this money to the village?
"Besides, have you forgotten about the Lin family building a cement plaza and toilets for the village? Just these two things cost a lot of money, and you still want the Lin family to pay for it?

"Are you still planning to ask the Lin family to provide for you when you get old? You can't be too greedy, you have to be conscientious!"

Liu Guihua: "Tian Xiao'e, you——"

"Okay Liu Guihua, please stop saying a few words. The Lin family doesn't owe us anything."

"That is, if you want the Lin family to pay the money, then if you win the game, the benefits will also belong to the Lin family? Don't come here to take the credit again."

Liu Guihua was attacked by a group of people, and she shut up in anger.

Liu Shuigan raised his hand to signal everyone to quiet down, "Now let's vote by a show of hands. Those who want to participate in the competition raise their hands."

Most of the villagers raised their hands.

They still want to win.

If you win, you’ll get tax exemption!
The food saved can be eaten for many meals.

Much cheaper than ten cents.

Liu Guihua did not raise her hand, and she did not allow her husband to raise his hand.

He also asked: “Village chief, if you don’t want to participate, can you not pay?”

These words immediately caused everyone to stare angrily.

This Liu Guihua is just a rat droppings, determined to disturb the peace of the village.

Liu Shuigan: "It's fine if you don't pay. If our village wins, the benefits will have nothing to do with you."

Liu Guihua curled her lips, there were so many villages in Qingyuan County, it was strange that their Mingshui Village could win.

If you hand over this money, it will be wasted and nothing will be gained.

Whoever pays is the fool.

In the next two days, villagers who wanted to participate in the competition handed over their money to Liu Shuigan one after another.

Liu Shuigan specially prepared a piece of paper and asked the good woman who could read and write to write down the people who had paid the money on it, and also asked them to put their thumbprints.

Three days later, Zhang San came with two more government officials and gave Liu Shuigan, the village chief, a registration form.

Liu Shuigan signed it. He didn't know many words, so he could only trace his name.

Then he pressed his fingerprint again.

In this way, Mingshui Village signed up.

At this time, the autumn harvest has also begun.

The Lin family has ten acres of land, all of which is planted with rice.

Usually these ten acres of land are managed by tenant farmers, but now the number of tenant farmers is somewhat insufficient.

Lin Chunniang plans to hire more people.

Lin Xi sent a message to Xiao Qi, asking him to bring his men over to help.

She is the de facto leader of the Qianhai Gang, with thousands of people under her command. Does she still need to hire people for the autumn harvest at home?
Xiao Qi quickly came over with dozens of his subordinates and went to the ground to help without saying a word.

In less than a day, the Lin family's ten acres of rice were harvested.
