The village chief was stunned by Wanfeng's slap and looked at Wang Jinhe blankly.
What did this person just say

This woman who looks so elegant is actually a princess
He was actually thinking about winning the favor of this woman just now.
Thinking of this, the village chief's face turned pale. The only prince in the capital was the Jade Prince, and this person must be the Jade Princess.
Princess Yu is also a county lord.
It was she who grew high-yield crops and saved them from starvation.
But what is this princess doing here at this time? Did something happen
"Princess, what do you want from me?"
Wang Jinhe took a look and said coldly: "Are you taking the lead in asking the villagers to sell their food?"
The village chief was stunned for a moment, then nodded subconsciously: "Yes."
"Princess, this grain belongs to our family. Is it not possible for me to sell it?" the village chief asked with some dissatisfaction.

Wang Jinhe didn't want to say too much to him. He looked at the people who came to join in the fun and said, "Go and call the other people in your village to the open space in the village. Everyone must be here. If one person is missing, you will bear the consequences yourself."
The people around also knew that Wang Jinhe was a princess. After hearing her order, everyone went to call for help for fear of angering the princess.
About half an hour later, the county magistrate arrived, and the villagers were getting a little impatient waiting.
The county magistrate knelt down and saluted when he saw Wang Jinhe: "Your humble servant pays respect to the princess."
"Get up."
The county magistrate stood up and looked at the people gathered together. He asked hesitantly, "Princess, what did the people in this village do to offend you?"
"That's not the case. The village chief took the lead in selling his family's grain to the people of Lu. What does this mean? You are an official, so I don't need to explain it to you."
The county magistrate's face turned dark when he heard what Wang Jinhe said.
They all knew the recent news coming back from the border.
The State of Lu was competing with the State of Xuan for the cities of the State of Qi.
Once the two countries divided Qi into two, it would be easy for Lu to deal with Xuan.
He knew very well why they bought the food from the people.
"Who is the village chief?" the county magistrate asked through gritted teeth.
The village chief next to him came out tremblingly: "I... I am."
The county magistrate glanced at the village chief, walked to the front, looked at the people below and asked, "How many of you have sold your grain? Come out and show it to me."
Everyone looked at each other, and those who had sold their grain walked out subconsciously.
Seeing that half of the people in this village sold their grain to people from Lu, the county magistrate was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
He pointed at them with a trembling hand: "You...you are really capable. You dare to sell grain to people who don't know. Is it that the grain merchants in the capital don't pay you, or that the grain merchants in Xuan Country can't buy your grain?"
The village chief was a little dissatisfied when he heard the county magistrate say this: "Sir, this is our own grain. We can sell it to whoever we want. Why should we sell it at a low price when we can sell it at a high price?"
A young man in his twenties frowned and said nothing: "Idiot."

The county magistrate was so angry that even Princess Yu came. It can be seen that the grain they sold was not to their own people, but to people who posed a threat to Xuan Country.
"You still think you're right? Do you know which country's people bought your grain? They're from Lu. Prince Yu is personally on the battlefield with several generals. Do you know who started this war? They're also from Lu. The prince is leading his soldiers to the border to kill the enemy and protect you. But you sold the high-yield grain to the people of Lu. If the princess hadn't discovered this, do you know how serious the matter is?" The county magistrate was almost pissed off by this idiot.
"The year before last, Lingguo came over and asked for 1 million kilograms of high-yield grain seeds. It was the princess and the prince who withstood the pressure and protected the grain seeds for you to use. Last year, Lingguo, Qiguo and several other vassal kings also wanted high-yield grain seeds. With so many people putting pressure on us, it was the princess and the others who withstood the pressure and refused to give them the grain seeds."
"The emperor planted less high-yield grains and left them all to you. What did you do? You stabbed us in the back."
The county magistrate's words made the villagers who had sold their grain turn pale.
I never expected that this would be the case.
"Sir, we... we don't know..."
If they knew this, they would definitely not sell the grain.
"Lu has always wanted to attack Xuan State, but because of Qi State in the middle, it couldn't take action, so it instigated Ling State and Qi State to take action. Now the prince is leading people from Lu to snatch Qi's cities. Once one of the cities is lost, Xuan State will be exposed to others. They have no food and can only ask Xuan State for help. They can still endure it, but once they have something like that, attacking Xuan State will be the top priority." The county magistrate looked at them angrily and said.
"The village chief said that the grain is yours and you can sell it if you want. I have no objection to you selling the grain. After all, you also need money to live. But you should at least look at who the other party is. The grain merchant from Xuan Country is considered to have a conscience. I give you twelve cents per pound of grain. Is that not enough for you to sell?" The county magistrate looked at them with disappointment in his eyes.

The village chief looked a little flustered and a little guilty. Wang Jinhe kept his eyes on the village chief: "Lou Manqing, have someone check the financial situation of the village chief's family, especially in the recent period. I want to know the specific information."
"Okay." Lou Manqing glanced at the village chief and instantly understood what Wang Jinhe wanted to do.
When Lou Manqing went to investigate, Wang Jinhe saw that the county magistrate was very satisfied with his attitude towards him.
"Sister-in-law, this county is pretty good."
Wang Jinhe smiled and nodded: "Indeed, Nanqiao, who do you think is suitable to be the village chief in this village?"
Now the village chief is useless and cannot be allowed to stay in this position. Staying here will only bring unnecessary trouble to others.
"he."
Wang Jinhe looked in the direction Nan Qiao pointed and saw a young man in his twenties who looked very capable.
"Why?"
"Just now, when the village chief said that he could sell his grain whenever he wanted, he said idiot. It seems that he may have guessed who those people are. The fact that half of the village has not sold their grain may have something to do with him."

Wang Jinhe nodded in understanding. So that's it.
"Wanfeng, go call the man that Nanqiao pointed at over here. I have something to ask him."
"yes."
Wanfeng walked up to the young man and patted him on the shoulder.
The young man turned to look at Wan Feng: "What's the matter?"
"Our princess invites you."
The young man looked at Wang Jinhe not far away, nodded, and followed Wanfeng.
"Greetings, Princess."
"No need to be so polite."
"What does the princess want to see me about?"

Wang Jinhe looked at him and asked, "Is the village chief interested?"
