The fact that Lin Yue, a woman bestowed upon Linjiagou Village by the emperor, was enough to make the village famous is further highlighted by the fact that no one in the village contracted the disease during the pandemic.
It is said that the reason why no epidemic has occurred in this village is because of the reminder from Lin Yue's son, which makes people think that it must be related to Lin Yue again.
However, since no one else said it, and they were only guessing, they naturally wouldn't be so annoying as to pry into the details. After all, the nail that sticks out gets hammered down, and Lin Yueshi had already attracted enough attention.
Magistrate Tang, as the county magistrate, naturally knew about these things, and remembered them very clearly. After all, he had once hoped to climb the ranks based on Lin Yue's merits, but...
Heaven was uncooperative: three years of drought! Locust plague! Earthquakes! Torrential rains and floods! Epidemics! It just slapped him to death!
Although he remembered Lin Yueshi and Linjiagou Village, he really couldn't remember the winding mountain road that had taken eighteen turns. It had completely confused him, and he couldn't remember where he was. He was only able to keep himself from getting lost thanks to the guards who were with him.
This is the person his mother sent him after the last epidemic ended. She was just afraid that if something really happened, the county officials wouldn't be able to save him wholeheartedly. At least his family would care more about his life than the government officials.
"Let's go take a look. I wonder how Linjiagou Village is doing now."
Although the best time to plant wheat was delayed last year due to the pandemic, every household still planted the free wheat seeds that were distributed. In addition, since there were no taxes this year, farmers are still doing well, especially now that the wheat has just been harvested.
Looking out the car window again, the patches of green and the heart-shaped leaves swaying gently in the breeze told me that Lin Yue hadn't kept anything secret and had popularized the sweet potato again.
He knew that because last year was tough, all the sweet potatoes planted in the field were pulled up and eaten, not even the vines were spared. If it weren't for Lin Yue's wife, this hard-won new food - sweet potatoes - would probably have been extinct!
He had witnessed the yield of these sweet potatoes firsthand and had even reported it to the emperor. If they suddenly disappeared, he didn't know what would happen to him.
Thank goodness!
This Lin Yue family is truly his lucky star!
It's just that God couldn't bear to see him succeed; otherwise, he would at least be a prefect by now.
Tsk tsk, thinking about it like that, Magistrate Tang felt a pain in his chest.
The carriage swayed and rattled along the mountain road. After a quarter of an hour, it reached the path leading to Linjiagou Village. This road was usually used by wooden carts, so the carriage could also pass. However, the road was full of potholes, and the bumpy ride made Magistrate Tang a little carsick.
Left with no other option, Magistrate Tang had to get out of the carriage and walk.
There's nothing we can do about it; it's a "gift" from God. Who told the rain and flood to wash away all the soil, leaving only stones!
"Oh! It's Lord Tang! Lord Tang must be tired from your journey! Quickly, whoever is on their feet, go to my house and tell them to prepare some herbal tea and a meal!"
After meeting with Magistrate Tang, Village Chief Lin immediately instructed anyone working in the fields to go to his house and give a message.
The large carriage traveling on the road was noticed by the people working in the fields, and Village Chief Lin naturally knew about it as well, so he waited for it on this side of the bridge early on.
