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

The atmosphere in the hall was quiet. Not only did the emperor want to know who invented the textile machine, but even Eunuch Hong beside him was secretly waiting for Yu Shizhang's answer.

Yu Shizhang was thinking back over the contents of the letter. His eldest son said in the letter that the person who invented the textile machine was a county magistrate in Liuyang Prefecture.

And this County Magistrate Shen is a woman.

The female county magistrate took office this year.

When Yu Shizhang read the letter, a candidate instantly came to his mind. Although he only remembered that the woman's surname was Shen, when he heard the name of a female county magistrate named Shen, he could relate.

It’s not that the woman’s appearance was so impressive. At their age, they naturally don’t just judge people by their appearance. To them, a person’s appearance, whether good or bad, is a trivial matter not worth mentioning.

He could remember that woman only because she was one of the few women who passed the palace examination in that imperial examination.

But Yu Shizhang did not think highly of her at that time. It can be said that the father and son had exactly the same perspective on people.

Good knowledge, but lack of spiritual energy.

This was also Yu Shizhang's evaluation of her at that time. He never cared where the woman from the Ministry of Personnel was transferred to later.

Unexpectedly, it was such a coincidence that the woman went to his son's mansion to serve as a county magistrate.

What is even more surprising is that the woman had achieved such great things in less than half a year after taking office.

Whether it was high-yield rice or a textile machine, any one of them could make a county official's career a success. Who would have thought that the woman could create two at once...

this......

When Yu Shizhang read the letter, he began to doubt himself.

He didn't expect that after living for most of his life, his judgment of people had become inaccurate, and he had let Mingzhu be tarnished.

Fortunately, true gold is not afraid of fire. Even if that woman went to the local area, even if she was just a small official, she could still shock those people in Shangjing...

"Beloved?"

Seeing that Yu Shizhang didn't speak, the emperor called him.

At the critical moment, this person actually froze in front of him.

If there were other officials in the palace, Yu Shizhang's reaction would be intriguing in the eyes of others...

The emperor asked you who invented the textile loom, but you hesitated to answer. Could it be that... you don't want to tell the truth?

But the emperor did not think much about it at this time. If Yu Shizhang did not want to tell him who invented the textile machine, then he would just take the credit for his son.

Why should he give the credit to his own son first and then hesitate at this critical moment? Isn't it a waste of time?

Yu Shizhang came back to his senses and saw that the emperor looked confused, so he quickly admitted his mistake.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I was distracted just now. Your Majesty should have some impression of the man who invented the textile machine."

"Oh?"

The emperor raised his eyebrows when he heard this. According to Yu Shizhang's words, the person who invented the textile loom should be an official of his Great Zhou.

"Don't be so pretentious, just say it quickly."

Yu Shizhang nodded and said, "The one who made the textile machine was an old craftsman from Liuyang Prefecture, called Master Qiao. But my son said in the letter that the one who took out the textile machine blueprint was the county magistrate of Tongan County, named Shen Zheng."

In fact, Shen Zheng had discussed with Mr. Qiao at the beginning that he must be brought along when reporting on the textile machine.

And according to her thoughts at that time, the credit should actually be shared equally by her and Mr. Qiao.

In other words, she came up with a rough blueprint, but the textile machine she finally made was also improved by Mr. Qiao.

Shen Zheng had her own intentions in doing this. She knew very well how inexperienced she was as a craftsman.

If she took all the credit for herself, then when the people from the Ministry of Industry came and had a few more words with her, she would reveal everything.

But when she told Mr. Qiao about it, Mr. Qiao refused to agree to Shen Zheng giving her half of the credit.

According to Mr. Qiao, it was already a great honor for him to build a textile loom based on the drawings given by Shen Zheng. If he took half of Shen Zheng's credit, wouldn't that be just seeking fame?

Shen Zheng was extremely helpless at that time, and felt like a dumb person eating bitter herbs, unable to express her pain, but what Mr. Qiao said made sense.

Moreover, Mr. Qiao didn't understand why Shen Zheng wanted to push away the delicious cake that was right at his fingertips, so he asked Shen Zheng where the blueprint came from.

How could Shen Zheng tell the truth? She insisted that it was given by a hermit master.

But Shen Zheng also knew in her heart that the more things she took out in the future, the less tenable this reason would be.

At that time, she could only invent a "dream paradise" for everyone.

In fact, in Shen Zheng's heart, he and Tao Yuanming are quite similar, and the system is like a bridge connecting him and the "paradise".

She dared to take such a risk because the system gave her the confidence. She always believed that as long as she could work hard to lead Tongan County, and even the Great Zhou Kingdom became better and better, no one in the Great Zhou would dare to touch her...

Although this statement is a bit crazy, it is the truth.

Who would be willing to uproot a money tree that can always produce gold all at once?

"Shen Zheng?"

The emperor was stunned when he heard this, the name actually sounded familiar.

He frowned slightly, thinking over and over again in his mind, the name clearly indicates a woman, a woman who is an official?

After a moment, a figure flashed through his mind.

Could it be!

The emperor raised his voice a lot and asked Yu Shizhang, "But the female Jinshi selected by me for this year's palace examination!"

Without waiting for Yu Shizhang to answer, the emperor murmured again: "Yes, yes, that woman's surname is Shen!"

The emperor could no longer suppress the joy in his heart and he actually laughed loudly in the hall. His laughter stunned the guards outside the hall.

I don’t know what kind of good news Earl Yongning brought to Your Majesty today that could make Your Majesty so happy.

Yu Shizhang and eunuch Hong in the palace were also stunned by the emperor's laughter. Why was the emperor so happy when he heard that the person who invented the textile loom was the female county magistrate?

The next moment, the emperor's words resolved their doubts.

"Hahahahaha, Shen Zheng, what a great Shen Zheng! Now I want to see who among those pedantic old guys can challenge me!"

"You don't want me to introduce new policies, you don't want me to allow women to take the imperial examinations? Hahahaha! I want to see who dares to make me think twice now."

Yu Shizhang quietly watched the emperor's ecstatic expression and suddenly understood what he was thinking.

The emperor today is different from those of the previous dynasties. This emperor has been fighting with officials in the court to promote the imperial examinations for women.

The scene at that time...

Whenever Yu Shizhang thinks back on it now, he shudders.
