The final result was that he was sentenced to death and executed immediately.

As for his subordinates, some were exiled, some were dispatched to the mine, and some were arranged to build roads. In short, none of them were spared.

Later, Bai Jingping took the blame and resigned, but County Magistrate Kong didn't accept it, but let him take charge of public security issues.

And Bai Jingping became ruthless after this incident, and adopted the strategy of cracking down.

For example, if you steal a chicken, you will be fined ten taels of silver, hit with fifty big boards, and paraded through the streets for three days.

For a while, the whole county finally calmed down.

At the same time, Zhou Ying made a batch of moon cakes and sold them during the Mid-Autumn Festival, earning nearly two thousand silver.

However, the following autumn harvest was very miserable, and those near the river could still drop a little, while those a little farther away could only have no harvest.

Zhou Ying's family has grown sweet potatoes for two seasons, and the village has also harvested nearly a hundred acres of sweet potatoes. As for the sweet potato vines, all the sweet potatoes were collected and used as feed for cattle and sheep.

Fortunately, the tax was exempted after the autumn harvest, and the county also organized a large number of strong laborers to repair all the rivers and embankments, so people's lives can continue for a while.

After winter, because there are no radishes and cabbage, all kinds of bean sprouts become the main dish, but because the beans are limited, the price is very high.

Seeing this, Zhou Ying took the opportunity to launch green garlic and garlic yellow, and made another fortune, but the business was still much worse than last year.

The only thing worth celebrating is that Tian Jiawang and Qiuniang came together.

For this reason, Zhou Ying specially bought another yard nearby, and arranged for their husband and wife, Yi Qiuyu and others to go there.

Afterwards, the new year was celebrated in a tepid manner, but a heavy snowfall fell after the new year, which finally made people cheer.

After the snow melted, spring plowing also started. Gu Chengrui and Zhou Ying had just returned home that day when the patriarch and village head found the house.

"Grandpa Village Chief, Uncle, what are you doing here?" Gu Chengrui asked.

"Yes, we want to talk to you about something serious." The patriarch said.

"Please come to the room. It happens that there is nothing to do today. Let Ying'er cook two dishes and let's have two drinks." Gu Chengrui said.

"Yes, you sit down first, and the food will be ready in a while." After Zhou Ying finished speaking, she turned and went to the kitchen.

First I made a pot of water for them, and then I started cooking, but now is not the time to show off.

So Zhou Ying only made four home-cooked dishes.

Twice-cooked pork, pot stickers tofu, vinegar bean sprouts and fried peanuts.

After serving it on the table, she made the fried noodles by herself, then took a cucumber from the space, washed it and ate it.

On this end, after the three of them drank, the village chief asked, "Cheng Rui, will your restaurant still accept peppers this year?"

"Come on, I'm going to tell you about this. We're going to plant seedlings when the snow melts, but I don't know how many are going to be planted in the village?" Gu Chengrui asked.

"I didn't dare to plant wheat last year, so I plan to plant a lot." The village chief said with a heavy heart.

"But there must be a certain amount. After all, food is the foundation. Now the price of food outside has increased a lot." Gu Chengrui said.

"Everyone knows this, but what can we grow now, we can only grow a la carte, and we can harvest autumn grain after the rains have passed."

"I do have one thing here. It is the seeds we found in the mountains the year before last. Although it is not enough food, it can be eaten as food.

The key is that young leaves can also be eaten, which is very suitable for the current situation of lack of food and vegetables. "

The village chief's eyes lit up and said, "What is it?"

The patriarch immediately raised his ears.

But I soon thought of their family, the grass-like thing that was planted in the backyard last year, and asked hurriedly, "Is it the one that you planted in the backyard for two consecutive seasons last year?"
