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

In just a moment, Fang Wenxiu figured out the relationship.

The two of them met in Quanyang County today, and at that time, Balezhan's carriage was obviously not heading towards Tongan County.

There is only one explanation for Nabalechan's appearance here.

That was because Balezhan saw him coming to Tongan County, so he followed him.

Fang Wenxiu did not dare to claim that his family's information was as well-informed as the Quanyang County Magistrate, so Balezhan had received the news about the textile machine a long time ago, but had not taken any action.

Combined with the previous incident of the prefect coming to Tongan County, he could know what Balezhan was thinking.

Balezhan should be waiting for Lord Shen to make a move. If Lord Shen shows any sign of wanting to cooperate with the outside world, Balezhan will definitely be quicker than anyone else.

His actions today made Balezhan feel a sense of crisis. He was also worried that Lord Shen would give him a chance, or... make a promise to him.

Although the county government and the merchants in the county are in the same boat, their interests are clearly divided.

For Balezhan, Lord Shen's cooperation with the Fang family is certainly not as good as her direct cooperation with the Quanyang County Government.

For Lord Shen, cooperating with both sides has its own benefits, but it is obvious that more achievements can be made if the emperor and the emperor cooperate with each other.

That was why Ba Lezhan followed him here in a hurry today. He was thinking in his heart that if he, Ba Lezhan, couldn't do it, then Fang Wenxiu wouldn't be able to do it either.

It seems that Magistrate Ba has learned his lesson this time, but I was... a little reckless.

That is a cotton weaving machine. If Lord Shen can reach a cooperation with his Fang family, then his Fang family will be able to move out of Liuyang Mansion and move to a wider place.

For a moment, I was actually simple-minded.

After Shen Zheng saw Ba Lezhan stated his purpose, Fang Wenxiu was reluctant to speak.

She had no choice but to continue, "This loom was made by me in the Tongan County Government, but now, it is not something I can decide for myself."

Fang Wenxiu looked a little incredulous when she heard this, but Ba Lezhan understood what she meant. He hesitated and asked, "But the prefect..."

Shen Zheng nodded, "That's right."

The expression on Balezhan's face was clear. It was exactly as he had thought. How could the prefect not intervene in such a big matter?

Today's prefect is different from the previous ones. This one is a man who gets things done!

Fang Wenxiu opened his mouth and wanted to ask a few more questions, but that was the prefect.

With his family's financial resources, he could still argue with the county magistrate as long as they didn't get into a fight, but the prefect of a prefecture...

A look of disappointment appeared on his face.

Although he already knew that the chances of success were slim if he came here today, he still held on to a glimmer of hope and thought about giving it a try, just in case.

But now the person he wants to fight for is the prefect of a prefecture, so what chance does he have...

Shen Zheng felt relieved when she saw the two men's different expressions. One by one, they all came to her and set their sights on going to Tong'an County, as if they thought she was not busy enough.

She added fuel to the fire and said, "Not only the prefect, but also the emperor should also..."

Upon hearing this, Bale Zhan stood up immediately, and the stool behind him made a harsh sound as it rubbed against the ground.

Fang Wenxiu could no longer control the expression on his face and could not help but open his mouth.

The two spoke in unison, their voices trembling in the same way: "Lord Shen means... Has His Majesty received the news?"

Shen Zheng looked at the surprise on their faces, nodded with a smile, sighed and said helplessly:

"This is also what the prefect meant. He insisted that the rice and textile machines in our county are now of top priority for the benefit of the country and the people, and he insisted on reporting it to the emperor. So, he should have sent a fast horse to Shangjing a few days ago."

The two of them fell back into their chairs.

In Shen Zheng's eyes, there were subtle differences in their reactions.

Fang Wenxiu felt lost, extremely lost, as if he had not caught up with the person he loved.

After a slight disappointment, Balezhan felt surprised and envious.

That’s His Majesty!

If they were to look miserable when the emperor heard such good news, what would that mean?

Can’t wait for the Great Zhou to get better!

So at this moment, no matter how mixed emotions the two of them felt, they had to force a smile on their faces.

"Congratulations, Lord Shen. Congratulations, Lord Shen. The emperor will know about Lord Shen's great achievements!"

The flattering look on Ba Lezhan's face became more and more obvious. Thighs! Golden thighs! He must hold them tight!

He took out the business information that he had prepared long ago from his pocket and handed it to Shen Zheng.

"Sir Shen, I heard that you have been renovating the county school recently. These are the business information of Quanyang County. I have already made arrangements. If your people come to buy, they dare not raise the price. They will sell as much as they buy. And in the future, you can go there if you have anything!"

After he said that, he looked at Fang Wenxiu meaningfully. There was no Fang family business on his list.

Fang Wenxiu immediately understood and sat up straight: "It's the same for our Fang family business. If Lord Shen needs it, just send someone to tell me and I'll send it to you!"

Although the textile machine issue now seems hopeless, he thought again, if the textile machine cannot cooperate, what about the woven fabric?

He had heard that the loom could not only weave cotton, but also other fabrics, and could also create complex patterns while weaving.

He probably couldn't get involved with cotton now, but other fabrics...

Shen Zheng felt helpless seeing that the two of them were as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

She pushed back the paper that Balechan handed to her.

"Thank you for your kindness, but I am not responsible for the renovation of the county school. The purchase has been decided long ago. Each family has its own channels, so I appreciate your kindness."

Both Ba Lezhan and Fang Wenxiu could hear the evasiveness in her words.

But they knew that the people of Tongan County now obeyed her orders, and as long as she gave an order, they would listen to her.

So what she said was that she didn't want to have too many interests involved with them.

Ba Lezhan also understood that some things are not good enough, so he took the paper back with a smile on his face and said cheerfully: "If Lord Shen needs anything in the future, please feel free to come to me."

Fang Wenxiu nodded: "Me too."

Shen Zheng said a few polite words and stood up, then said to Fang Wenxiu, "I'm going to look for Zi Yan, Master Fang, please sit down for a while."

Upon hearing this, Balezhan did not stay any longer and stood up to say goodbye.

After Ba Lezhan left, Shen Zheng turned around and looked at Fang Wenxiu.

"Master Fang, remember to take back the things you brought today. Ziyan is doing well in the yamen now and doesn't need those things."

Fang Wenxiu opened his mouth, gave a bitter smile and said, "Then I will leave the food and cloth to Zi Yan. These are not worth much."

After he said that, he saw Shen Zheng was about to leave and couldn't help but call her.

"Master Shen, may I ask you one more question...your fabric..."

Shen Zheng stopped and looked back at Fang Wenxiu when she heard that.

His perseverance made her look at him with a higher regard. A businessman must be willing to take risks. And the fact that Fang Wenxiu could ask this question showed that he had a quick mind.

Shen Zheng paused, then turned and walked out.

Fang Wenxiu thought Shen Zheng would not answer him, but when she walked to the door, she said lightly, "Let's wait and see."

This sentence sounded like heavenly music to Fang Wenxiu's ears. This was the first time that Lord Shen did not directly reject him!

With an ecstatic look on his face, he stood up and paced back and forth in the study, as if he had already reached a cooperation with Shen Zheng.
