It's really hard to just farm peacefully.

Chapter 296

After knowing his reward, Jiang Yan finally calmed down.

She picked up the freshly delivered account books and abacus and began to calculate.

Because the amount of calculation required was particularly large and the results required two people to review, Jiang Yan completely cleared her mind at the beginning before working. As long as she deceived herself that she was not bored, she would not easily fall asleep.

But this trick also has a time limit. Jiang Yan persisted for about an hour or so, but he could not withstand the increasingly dim light and began to yawn.

After misjudging the beads three times in a row and looking at a line of data, Jiang An couldn't help but suggest, "Sister Yan, how about you check it and I do the calculation?"

"Okay, I'll take a nap first~" Jiang Yan closed his eyes and counted 250 slowly. When he opened his eyes again, Mu Shiba was already waiting in the house.

Why was he walking so quietly? Under his gaze, Jiang Yan calmly calculated the results, then, just before the first gong sounded in the mansion, she sent the man and the account books out.

I don’t know who came up with this idea, but before they start and end work, the government would knock on a gong to remind them. This was definitely not a habit in the governor’s office before.

Jiang Yan sat back on the small stool and kneaded her wrists and fingertips alternately.

"When did he come? I didn't even notice him."

Jiang An thought for a moment and said, "He probably came in when you were half asleep. Later, I saw him staring at you from time to time, as if he was waiting for you to wake up."

"Didn't he ask you to call me?" Jiang Yan asked curiously.

Jiang An: "He didn't say anything, but I called you twice and there was no response. You must be sleeping too soundly. I thought there was plenty of time and there was no need to rush, so I didn't wake you up."

Jiang Yan murmured, "I thought I had only closed my eyes for a hundred breaths, but I didn't expect to fall asleep..."

Jiang An comforted him, "It can't be considered a coma. It was no more than a quarter of an hour."

Not sure what Brother Mu's temper is like, Jiang Yan suddenly felt a little nervous...

On the fifth day of the probationary work, Jiang Yan neatly arranged the account books that were delivered to him. After comparing them, he found that they were only half a fingernail higher than yesterday's, and he finally felt relieved.

"That's not bad. I should have plenty of time today."

Jiang Yan quickly processed her pile of account books. She did not relax herself and occasionally glanced at the text while extracting data.

The rent for the land of the 83rd household of Guozhuang, northwest of the city, is 21 mu (approximately 10 acres). Two male and two female adult men. One male and two female adult men.

Huh? There's no Guozhuang in Rongcheng County.

The few place names Jiang Yan had scanned before were all located in the east and south of the city. She had very limited knowledge of the villages in these two directions of Rongcheng County.

I just took a quick glance at the village name and although it felt unfamiliar, I just made a note of it with the mentality of "Wow, there is such a village in this direction of Rongding County".

But what villages were there in the northwest of Rongcheng County that she was familiar with? After all, Dongshan Village was in that direction. Although she had never been there, the people of Dongshan Village always talked about it in their casual conversations.

Jiang Yan was very sure that she had never heard of such a village.

Perhaps the account books were incomplete, or perhaps it was to prevent these temporary workers from discovering the secrets, so the contents they were holding now were pre-disassembled.

There was no cover, no year, and no county name... Jiang Yan flipped through a few more books, but still couldn't find it, and couldn't connect the dots.

Could there be something fishy hidden in the data in these account books? Jiang Yan couldn't tell whether she was excited or terrified. Instead, she felt a little excited and didn't feel the fatigue of yesterday at all.

When I exchanged account books with Jiang An and compared them with each other, I found that his pile was of the same style, and my curiosity grew even more.

Of course Jiang Yan still remembered to keep his mouth shut, but when he worked for the next few days, he did not seem tired and was very energetic.
