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

One of the sturdy men nodded and said, "Don't worry, sir. We have checked it more than ten times this morning. Nothing will go wrong."

Zhou Lizheng nodded. He was a little too nervous on such a big day.

As the carriages approached, the hearts of the Nanba villagers beat faster and faster. Today was the official autumn harvest, and Nanba Village was going to show off in front of all the adults!

"Xu~~"

The carriages stopped one after another, and Shen Zheng got out first. The villagers smiled when they saw her, and shouted in unison, "Master Shen!"

Shen Zheng jumped off the car and nodded at them with a smile.

Come on! It's time for the county magistrates to show off the rice in Tongan County!

Yu Zhengqing and other county magistrates got off the carriages one after another. Except Yu Zhengqing, the other dozen or so county magistrates and the people they brought with them began to look around.

It was the first time for the villagers to see so many high-ranking officials, and they were a little nervous.

Wow, following Lord Shen, there are so many surprises.

Now, apart from them, which farmer in this world dares to say that he has seen the county magistrates of the entire prefecture? Moreover, he has seen them so close that they can even see the length of the county magistrates' beards clearly!

But now that I've seen it, it seems to be just like that.

In terms of youth and potential, these officials are not as young as their elders. In terms of ability, let alone, didn’t these officials come to their Nanba Village eagerly?

As for beauty? That's out of the question! Who among these old men can be as beautiful as them?

It would be fine if there was no comparison. But when the comparison is made, why do those high-ranking officials seem so useless?

The county magistrates did not notice the villagers' expressions. Now their minds were all on rice. Didn't they say that the yield per mu was 1,000 kilograms? Let's take the mules and horses out for a walk!

Seeing their suspicious expressions, Shen Zheng said to them, "Please be patient, gentlemen. We are still at the entrance of the village. If we walk a dozen meters further and turn a corner, we will reach the rice fields in the village."

The county magistrates nodded in understanding, and Zhu Kongjia asked first, "Sir Shen, can we go and take a look first?"

Now they were only a few steps away from the rice, so they naturally wanted to take a look at the legendary rice to see how shocking it was.

Zhou Lizheng and the villagers looked embarrassed when they heard this. Shen Zheng asked quietly, "But what's wrong?"

Zhou Lizheng shook his head and opened a corner of the backpack next to him. "It's not that it's inappropriate, but yesterday several of our villages agreed to set off firecrackers together at 9:00 p.m. today and officially go to the fields to harvest!"

Shen Zheng raised her eyebrows, she didn't expect that they would do this in private.

But setting off firecrackers is not a bad idea, it is for the sake of celebration and to create a more lively atmosphere. After all, this is the first time in the history of the Great Zhou Dynasty that the rice yield per mu is 1,000 kilograms!

She looked up at the sky and whispered, "It's still a while before the Si hour. Bring the backpack in first, and we'll light the firecrackers later."

Zhou Lizheng nodded and signaled the men to lift up the backpacks.

Shen Zheng said to the county magistrates, "Please follow me, everyone."

The villagers made way for them. Yu Zhengqing walked in front with ease, while Shen Zheng lagged behind half a step and greeted the county magistrates.

Everyone was talking animatedly, but the moment they turned a corner, it was as if the mute button was pressed around Shen Zheng, and the only sound was the chirping of birds.

The morning wind is not too hot, bringing with it the scent of rice.

Zhu Kongjia thought that the rice fields in Tongan County would be spectacular, but when he saw them with his own eyes, he had only one thought in his mind: they were more than spectacular.

The rice fields stretch endlessly, with waves of rice one after another. The air and the nose are filled with the fresh fragrance of rice.

These rice fields are simply heaven and earth compared to the sparse rice fields in their county.

There are also ditches around the field ridges, which are of consistent width and depth and run through the entire rice field. I guess these are the ditches that Tongan County had started to build before.

I heard that the Tongan County Government invested a lot of money in this. I wonder if Zhu Kongjia would have such courage?

Even if they wanted to recruit workers, it would be for the whole county. It would be good enough to provide food, but they would never be paid. Isn't it the same for all workers in the county? If the county government wanted to recruit workers, who would dare to disobey?

But this Lady Shen is too eccentric, yet she managed to accomplish this task anyway!

At this moment, Zhu Kongjia's original contempt for the woman had completely disappeared, and only admiration remained in his heart.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't even dare to imagine such a magnificent scene!

This is the rice in Tongan County that produces 1,000 kilograms per mu!

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart that Lord Shen was really lucky. If he had discovered this rice seed first and made it famous all over the world, wouldn't it be him, Zhu Kongjia?

Then he sighed, and only envy and sadness were left in his heart. It was the time and the fate.

Sometimes luck is also part of strength.

Everyone stood there, staring stupidly at the scene in front of them, unable to move for a long time.

Zhou Lizheng and the villagers of Nanba followed behind them and raised their heads proudly. Look carefully, this is the rice they planted!

"grown ups!"

There was a sudden cry of surprise from the crowd. The chief clerk of Baiyun County looked flustered and reached out to support his master, even though his hands were shaking badly at this time...

Shen Zheng turned her head and saw Baiyun County Magistrate Yin Wencai breathing rapidly, his face flushed, and his face full of shock.

Moreover, he and the county chief clerk, one of them had weak legs and the other had shaking hands, and the two of them snuggled together, looking a little weird.

Even though Yin Wencai reacted so strongly, the other county magistrates standing beside him did not feel like laughing at him, because they were not much better than Yin Wencai.

They sighed in their hearts, fortunately the sleeves of their uniforms were wide today to block their trembling hands, otherwise they would have lost their composure along with Yin Wencai.

As the host today, Shen Zheng couldn't ignore her guests. She walked up to him and asked, "Is Lord Yin okay?"

Yin Wencai did not answer, but raised a hand to point at the rice field and asked her tremblingly: "Master Shen, is this the rice that produces a thousand kilograms per mu? Are all the villages in your county like this?"

Shen Zheng nodded and replied, "That's right. Now every household in the county grows rice in their fields."

Yin Wencai's eyes welled up with tears. He nodded and said, "Okay, okay, okay! Lord Shen, you have benefited the people of the Great Zhou!"

Shen Zheng didn't know why he reacted so violently, but she still said modestly: "Lord Yin, you are too kind. I am just doing my best."

Yin Wencai supported the chief clerk and stood up. He looked at the rice fields not far away and murmured, "Master Shen is a god in the world. He deserves it, he deserves it!"

Shen Zheng looked at his old figure from behind, not knowing how to respond.

Yu Zhengqing walked over and whispered, "Yin Wencai looks smart, but he actually cares about the people the most. His Baiyun County suffered a flood two years ago, and life was very difficult the following year. The grain that the county government opened the granary to release was all borrowed by him from several surrounding counties, so he reacted so strongly today."
