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

Three days later, Tongan County.

As the sun rises in the early morning, the sunlight shines on the earth, and birds chirp and fly in flocks to Tongan County.

They have been coveting the rice in this county for a long time. In the past, the rice was still on the rice paddies. Not only was it not tasty, but those humans also scared them in the fields every day. Today, those people are going to the fields, so they must take the opportunity to eat their fill!

Shen Zheng was standing at the border of Tongan County and Yonglu County. Xu Zhubu, Zhao Xiu, and other villagers were standing behind her, looking out.

The sound of horse hooves was heard, and a cloud of dust rose on the road, making it difficult for them to see the appearance of the person coming.

"Sir, they are coming! People are coming!" Xiao Yuan's voice came from the horse's back, full of uncontrollable excitement.

The village heads standing behind Shen Zheng looked behind Xiao Yuan, and saw no one there, with a trace of disappointment on their faces.

Xiao Yuan dismounted and said to the crowd, "The adults are right behind me. We are about three miles away!"

The eyes of the village heads lit up when they heard this, and they all lowered their heads to tidy up their clothes. Today they were going to meet the prefect and the county magistrates, and the clothes they were wearing were the ones they would only wear on ordinary days and during festivals.

A smile appeared on Shen Zheng's face; it was finally coming.

Today is the big day of autumn harvest in Tongan County. She was so excited that she couldn’t sleep last night.

She had already arranged most of the money in one night before she even received it.

The walls of the yamen have all fallen off, so it must be repaired. Yamen runners must be recruited, and the constables cannot always be asked to do the work of yamen runners. Also, the roads in the county become muddy when it rains, so they must be repaired. And when business starts in the county in the future, the economy will definitely be much more prosperous than it is now, with people coming and going. How can we do without some big inns and restaurants?

Of course, the most important thing is the fabric workshop. Although it is called a workshop, Shen Zheng had expected it to be quite large.

In fact, it is most appropriate to call it a fabric factory. When she was young in her previous life, that's what her country did. Basically, one or two large factories were enough to maintain the operation of a county.

Everyone is proud to be able to work in a factory, and the factory also provides job assignments and monthly wages. Some factories even provide daily necessities and housing!

Although this model has been gradually eliminated as the country developed, it is still applicable to Tongan County now.

There is no housing problem to be solved in the county now, but rice, flour, grain and cloth are what everyone really needs. Her fabric factory is preparing to move in this direction. If she is to give welfare, she will give the best, making people in other counties and even the prefecture jealous!

Once we make money from selling grain seeds, we’ll start doing it on a big scale!

The sounds of horse hooves and wheel axles were getting closer, and the village heads' breathing became rapid.

They said they were village heads, but in fact they were just working in the fields. They had never seen such a grand scene where they could meet all the county magistrates and prefects in the surrounding areas at once.

Zhou Lizheng from Nanba Village secretly glanced at Shen Zheng. If it weren't for Lord Shen, who would know that they were in Tongan County?

Seeing that Shen Zheng didn't look panicked at all and her eyes were full of smiles, he couldn't help but take two deep breaths.

He couldn't show his inexperienced look and embarrass Lord Shen!

"Xu~"

The convoy of carriages stopped in front of the crowd, raising a cloud of dust.

Shen Zheng looked at the carriage on the far right in front of her, walked up to it, and called out in a low voice, "Master Yu."

A light snort came from inside the car, and a pair of strong hands lifted the curtain.

Yu Zhengqing's voice came from the carriage: "I am following Lord Shen's instructions. Why does Lord Shen need to come and pick me up in person?"

Shen Zheng's expression froze. She knew that Yu Zhengqing had read the letter and was going to attack her.

She laughed dryly and said, "My Lord, what are you talking about? You are in charge of the entire Liuyang Prefecture, and your words are golden. Even if I run myself to pieces for those matters, they will not be as effective as your words. So I have no choice but to shamelessly ask for your help."

Yu Zhengqing snorted again, secretly cursing this little fox for flattering him again, but in his heart he actually felt somewhat pleased.

"Master Shen! Master Shen! How are you these days?"

Ba Lezhan's voice arrived before he did, and he started calling Shen Zheng from a distance.

Shen Zheng turned around and looked at his figure running towards him with his robe lifted up, and nodded at him. Balezhan's shout made the county magistrates who were still sitting in the carriage unable to sit still.

Ba Lezhan is a man who knows how to choose the right dish according to the situation. We can’t let him get the upper hand today!

In an instant, the county magistrates lifted the curtains of the carriage, no longer needed to pedal, and jumped down by holding on to the boards.

As Ba Lezhan approached and tried to get closer to Shen Zheng, he heard Yu Zhengqing in the carriage say:

"Lord Shen's letter caused our Quanyang County Magistrate Ba to rush to my government office the day before yesterday. Today, he followed me to your Tong'an County. Isn't this just to have a good time?"

Upon hearing this, Ba Lezhan secretly glanced towards the carriage and saw that Yu Zhengqing only had one hand exposed. He breathed a sigh of relief and said to Shen Zheng in a low voice, "It's okay."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Zhengqing in the car coughed heavily.

Did Ba Lezhan think that his voice was quiet? He even dared to humiliate him in front of him.

After he finished coughing, he stuck his head out and glanced at the two of them, which frightened Bale Zhan so much that he quickly said:

"I also received your message and thought you had something important to discuss with me, so I..."

"Heh." Yu Zhengqing sneered and didn't want to argue with him anymore. Neither of the two people standing below was a worry.

Before the county magistrates arrived, they saw Yu Zhengqing retreat into the carriage. They looked at each other and walked towards Shen Zheng.

This County Magistrate Shen was a little different from what they had previously thought.

They have heard a lot about her political achievements in recent months. Such a powerful person, even if he is born with three heads and six arms, should be a ferocious and vicious person.

But when they saw Magistrate Shen today, they found that his appearance was totally different from what they had imagined.

She had a bright face, white teeth, and smiling eyes. She exuded an aura of grace and beauty that made people want to get close to her when they saw her.

Although he looks harmless, he has done one big thing after another.

They heard from Lord Yu that the rice and cotton cloth from Tong'an County have been presented to the capital, and it is estimated that they will be sent to the palace to meet the emperor in the next few days.

As they were all officials in the same dynasty, they naturally knew what it meant for the two objects to be brought to the capital to meet the emperor.

Now they are on the same level as her and can call themselves "this official". But maybe it won't be long before they have to call themselves "subordinate officials" in front of this woman!

Although the prefect had a bad face towards her just now, what was the reality? When the prefect was in the government office, he praised the county magistrate Shen so much that he wanted to demote them to the mud!

And everyone knows that His Majesty has opened up the imperial examinations for the benefit of women. Now that a female official has caught His Majesty's eye, even if they are jealous in their hearts, they dare not show it on their faces.

So even though they were invited as guests today, they did not dare to act arrogantly at all.

"Master Shen! I am finally meeting you! I have heard that the rice yield per mu in your county is extremely high, and I have long wanted to come and see you. Unfortunately, my Baiyun County is a bit far away. Today, I am able to follow Master Yu to see the world!"

"Sir Shen, Tong'an County is indeed a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery! As soon as I arrived, I felt relaxed both physically and mentally!"

"If you talk about distance, none of you are as far as Lushan County!"

As soon as they came up, they started talking to each other and trying to get close to her. Shen Zheng didn't even recognize them and could only smile and nod at them.

"Thank you for your hard work, my lords."

The county magistrates were about to be polite to her again when they heard Yu Zhengqing's angry voice in the carriage.

"How about I move the tea table down from the car so you can sit down and chat?"

The county magistrates' expressions froze. They were so busy trying to get close to the man that they forgot there was a huge Buddha statue on the carriage.

They smiled apologetically at Shen Zheng and hurried back to their carriages.

Shen Zheng breathed a sigh of relief as she looked at their backs, and whispered to the carriage, "Thank you, Master Yu."
