After the village chief personally came to see the effect of the curved plow, he took Wang Yu's drawings and rushed to the county the next day. When Wang Yu just returned home that day, he saw the village chief bringing a few people over.

"Sir County Magistrate, this is Wang Tongsheng's home." The village chief pointed to Wang Yu's house and knocked on the door. The person who opened the door was Wang Yu who had just returned home.

The village chief saw that it was Wang Yu who opened the door and quickly introduced him to him: "Wang Yu, this is the county magistrate. Come and meet him."

Upon hearing this, Wang Yu looked at the person next to him. He was wearing a green official robe and looked very friendly. He was not a scholar yet, so he had to kneel before an official. When he was about to do so, he was stopped by the county magistrate. Wang Yu could only bow. Wang Yu stepped aside and invited the person in, and then made some tea.

He probably knew that the county magistrate should come for Qu Yuanli, but he didn't expect that the county's second-in-command would come in person.

The county magistrate looked at Wang Yu, who had a generous expression and clear eyes, and did not flatter him at all just because he was the county magistrate, and he felt even better about him.

"I came here today because the county magistrate admired the curved plow you made. The county government rewarded you with twenty taels of silver. Keep it!" As he said this, he put two ingots of ten taels of silver in Wang Yu's hands.

"Wang Yu would like to thank the county magistrate and the county magistrate here." Wang Yu took the silver and bowed in the direction of the county town, then bowed to the county magistrate, and finally bowed to the head of the village.

The county magistrate waved his hand and said, "The court rewards innovations from the people. You deserve it. You are very good. Study hard."

Wang Yu said yes repeatedly and then said, "Mr. County Magistrate, the village chief, and the other brothers behind you, would you like to have dinner at home?"

"I'm not going to eat anymore. Just have a cup of tea. I still have things to do at the county government office." He stood up and walked out.

Wang Yu sent the group out and looked at the silver in his hand. He thought that the court actually encouraged folk craftsmen to innovate. This was a good thing. Innovation could accelerate the development of society, and things would only get better and better.
