Transmigrated into a female county magistrate during a famine, leading her country to prosperity

"Sir, let's go."

Shen Zheng looked at the stretching rice fields in the distance and called out to Yu Zhengqing. She hadn't visited them for some time. Now that the rice had finished filling with grain, it should be a good time again. Yu Zhengqing came at the right time.

Yu Zhengqing stood there, unable to take another step.

He clearly knew in his heart that the rice would yield 1,000 kilograms per mu, but when he actually saw the lush and verdant rice ears, he still felt that the scene before him was not real.

It feels like you have been poor for most of your life, and suddenly someone throws a stack of banknotes in front of you and tells you to spend it as you like.

Yu Zhengqing wanted to lift his legs and move forward, but his legs were out of control.

He stood there and kept adjusting his breathing. He didn't want to make a fool of himself on his first visit to this village in Tongan County.

But after adjusting himself for a moment, he found that the excitement in his heart had not faded at all, so he had no choice but to turn around and say to Shen Zheng: "I will stand here for a while before leaving."

Shen Zheng didn't expect his reaction to be so big. She nodded at him and said, as if to make up for him, "It's normal for your hands and feet to feel numb after traveling so long. Your Excellency, please take a rest."

The villagers around saw the prefect standing there with a dazed look on his face as he got off the carriage, and they couldn't help but talk in whispers.

"Is this really the prefect of Liuyang Prefecture? Why doesn't he look like that? He doesn't look even smarter than our county magistrate."

"How can you say that? The county magistrate came with us, how could it be fake? I think the prefect was so engrossed in looking at our rice."

"That's true. It was the ear-forming period. We stayed in the fields all night long, afraid that we would open our eyes and find that it was all just a dream."

"You know what, I still don't feel it's real now. I'm afraid it will only be real when the autumn harvest comes!"

The July sun was already quite scorching. Shen Zheng and Yu Zhengqing stood under the scorching sun and began to sweat slightly after just a few moments.

The women around felt a little distressed when they saw Shen Zheng raising her sleeves to wipe the sweat off her face. After discussing, they went back to the nearest person's home and got some water for Shen Zheng and the others.

Shen Zheng was just thinking about moving under the shade of a tree when several women came over with bowls of water.

The leading woman handed the bowl of water to Shen Zheng, "It's really hot today, drink some water, sir, and don't get sick."

After she finished speaking, she winked at Shen Zheng, signaling her to take it and drink it quickly.

Shen Zheng looked at Yu Zhengqing again, and after seeing a woman handing him the bowl of water, he raised his hand and started drinking with confidence.

After just one mouthful, Shen Zheng opened her eyes wide and looked at the woman. The woman smiled when she saw her expression and whispered, "Sir, this bowl has sugar in it. Drink it quickly!"

Shen Zheng was immediately moved. Sugar is such a precious thing, almost the same as meat to ordinary people, and yet they took out sugar water to treat her.

This can be regarded as the highest etiquette for entertaining guests in Tongan County!

Moved, Shen Zheng drank the sugar water in the bowl in one breath, "It's delicious and sweet. Thank you for the treat, auntie."

The woman took the empty bowl with a smile and watched the adult drink up the water. She felt happier in her heart than if she had drunk the sugar water!

"There's more in the room. I'll go get you another bowl!"

Seeing her trying to get more water, Shen Zheng quickly stopped her: "That's enough, Auntie! One bowl is just right."

Just as the woman was about to persuade them again, Yu Zhengqing looked at them.

At this moment, Yu Zhengqing no longer looked dazed, and his aura rose again. The woman was frightened when she saw him.

She could only point to a house not far away and said to Shen Zheng, "My house is right over there. If you want to drink later, just come in. I'm going home first!"

Without waiting for Shen Zheng's reaction, she finished speaking and walked away quickly with a few women, as if something was chasing them from behind.

Yu Zhengqing looked at their backs, touched his face, and asked Shen Zheng: "How can I be so terrifying? The villagers don't like me."

Shen Zheng chuckled and said, "Your Excellency is so majestic without even getting angry. When I first met you, I had the same reaction as them."

Yu Zhengqing glanced at her and said, "Flattery! Come on, let's go and take a look."

The group of four walked towards the rice fields. The closer they got, the clearer they could see, and the more excited Yu Zhengqing became.

"It's such a magnificent scene." Yu Zhengqing murmured, and Master Qiao and his disciple were also stunned.

The rice leaves are emerald green, and rice ears are hanging on the rice stems. There are too many rice ears and they are too heavy, bending the stems and leaves.

The rice on the rice ears is green and yellow, the grains are full, and the growth is gratifying.

Yu Zhengqing still felt that the scene before him was so unreal.

He had lived for more than forty years and had never seen such a magnificent sight. He could not help but stretch out his hand and hold a rice ear in his hand.

At this time, some fuzz had grown on the surface of the rice, which felt slightly prickly to the touch, but it was this prickly feeling that made him feel the reality.

The rice ears in my hands are real, and the vast rice fields in front of me are all real!

When Yu Zhengqing thought of this, he could no longer control his excitement and couldn't help laughing out loud.

His Great Zhou really had a grain yield of 1,000 kilograms per mu, and this grain was not corn or wheat, but rice!

As he laughed, tears welled up in his eyes.

When this rice is planted in large quantities next year, it will not be an exaggeration to say that it will change the national conditions of his Great Zhou. By then, who among the neighboring countries will dare to challenge his Great Zhou!

Tongan County actually threw out two treasures at once, and these treasures also included food and clothing in the "food, clothing, housing and transportation"!

He carefully looked at the rice in his hand, turned around and asked Shen Zheng: "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I really couldn't believe that there is rice in the world that can produce a thousand kilograms per mu. Where did you get this rice seed?"

Shen Zheng was originally laughing foolishly along with Yu Zhengqing, but when she heard this, the smile on her face froze.

How could she laugh at this?

Yu Zhengqing is not Xu Zhubu or anyone else in Tongan County.

I won’t talk about Xu Zhubu. His main point is not to ask questions that should not be asked. Even if he really asked, he would believe everything she said.

Not to mention the people in Tongan County, they are used to making excuses for her, saying that it was immortals who had descended to earth or gods who had appeared, whatever outrageous thing they said. The key point is that they really spread the rumor with details and evidence.

After a moment's silence, Shen Zheng still felt that it would be most appropriate to attribute all the rice seeds and textile machines to the original owner's adoptive father.

Even if they really don't believe it, they can check it out if they want. Anyway, the original owner's adoptive father passed away a long time ago.

"This rice seed is from me..."

Shen Zheng was about to start talking nonsense when the rest of her words were interrupted by a quick shout.

"Your Excellency the County Magistrate! Your Excellency the County Magistrate! I, a humble woman..."

This shout just happened to help Shen Zheng out of the predicament.

She breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look. When she saw the scene not far away, anger surged in her heart.
