Transmigrated into a female county magistrate during a famine, leading her country to prosperity
Chapter 168 Rumors in Beijing: The local female county magistrate
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and showed a trace of contempt.
The source of his information is too unreliable. This relative is already beyond the fifth degree of kinship.
Seeing their contemptuous expressions, the warrior became anxious. "My wife's relative is not an ordinary official's groom. He is a senior official in the Ministry of Revenue, who is in charge of money! Besides, the news doesn't cost money. You can listen to it or not!"
Even ordinary people knew how powerful the Ministry of Revenue was in the capital. Upon seeing this, they became curious about the news from the groom's mouth.
"Brother, please tell us about it."
Seeing this, the warrior put down his stance, sat down on the chair with his horse and sword, and coughed lightly.
"Please wait a moment, my throat has been a little uncomfortable lately."
"......" The person next to him rolled his eyes and handed him a cup of tea.
The warrior drank the hot tea but still felt it was not enough, so he covered his stomach with his hands. After a moment, he felt something was wrong and moved his hands up to cover his head.
"Oh, I haven't eaten yet this morning, and I'm so hungry that I feel dizzy."
Everyone was angry: "Are you going to tell me or not? If not, we're leaving!"
They pretended to leave without looking back, but the storyteller brought the snacks on his table over.
The snack was warm and looked delicious, and the warrior swallowed his saliva.
This is Xiangyunji’s snack.
The storyteller also felt a little pained and asked, "Can you tell me now?"
“Tell me, tell me!” The warrior immediately grabbed a piece of dessert and put it in his mouth. Upon hearing this, everyone fell back.
He looked satisfied after eating most of the plate of snacks.
"Let me first say that I cannot guarantee the authenticity of this news. If the news is wrong and you spread it randomly, don't say that I said it and harm me and my relatives!"
Everyone rolled their eyes again, "The news in the market changes every day, it's just new today, no one cares about you, big brother, hurry up and tell me."
The warrior ate and drank, and seeing that they were getting impatient, he told them all the news he knew.
"In our Great Zhou, women have been allowed to serve as officials in the past two years. Everyone knows this, right?"
Everyone nodded. They knew about this matter which had caused a lot of controversy before. It was said that students from the academy in Beijing had jointly written a letter to oppose it, but it was rejected by the emperor.
Although they don't understand why the current emperor is determined to open up the imperial examinations, they feel that from ancient times to the present, officials have always been men. Can women be good officials?
So even though they didn't dare to oppose openly like the students at that time, there were still a lot of rumors in the market.
But in the final analysis, who holds those official positions has little to do with ordinary people. They still have to eat and work as usual - in short, they can't be officials.
So it was enough for them to discuss it in private. In the end, even if the woman really passed the imperial examination and became an official, it would only cause a small stir.
Wu Fu looked around and continued, "According to my relative, our Great Zhou will have an extraordinary female official! That female official is now serving as a county magistrate!"
Everyone was stunned when they heard this. What does this have to do with anything?
How could a local female county magistrate be related to their trip to the capital?
"Big brother, you are not here to get free food and drinks, right?"
Wu Fu immediately became angry and began to feel a little insecure when he saw the broken cakes on the plate.
"What are you talking about! How can I live without you? Everything I said is true. She really was a female county magistrate, and that female county magistrate did two great things!"
Although everyone was extremely skeptical about the authenticity of the news, they were still curious when they heard about the "two major events": "What are they?"
The warrior looked around and asked, "Is there anyone who is farming at home?"
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Where in the capital city was there any land for them to farm? At most, each household had a small vegetable plot where they could grow some seasonal vegetables for their own consumption.
Everyone wants to settle down in Beijing. Why would they still want to farm after having a decent job?
Those peasants who work on the land are completely different from them!
Unexpectedly, an old man delivering vegetables stood up in the crowd and said, "Sir, I have ten acres of thin land at home. Is there anything I can do for you?"
The warrior took a look at the old man delivering the vegetables and asked, "Old man, how much grain is produced per acre in your family's fields?"
The old man delivering the vegetables didn't know why he asked that, but he answered honestly, "If the harvest is good, it will be about 180 kilograms."
Wu Fu nodded and said to everyone, "You all heard it, the yield per mu is less than 200 kilograms."
Everyone was confused and asked, "Is it related to food? What is it?"
"My relative said that the rice planted in the county governed by that female county magistrate can produce up to a thousand kilograms per mu!" Wu Fu's eyes widened as he said this, with a hint of pride on his face, as if he had grown the thousand kilograms per mu.
"A thousand kilograms of grain per mu?!"
Everyone screamed in shock and completely lost their patience. They were now certain that the warrior in front of them was either out of his mind or was making fun of them.
The storyteller's face turned red with anger, and he raised his hand to pinch the warrior's throat.
"You are crazy and you spit out my snacks!"
The warrior dodged backwards, his face filled with shock and anger, "You don't believe it?! My relative said that the people who came out of the Suzaku Gate in a carriage today were officials from the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Works! Their destination this time is the county where the female official is working!"
"Make it up! Keep making it up! I think you're just here to get free food and drinks, get out of here now!"
Everyone cursed, and Wu Fu felt very aggrieved. "Even if I have to leave, I have to tell you another story, which is also about the female county magistrate!"
"And that female county magistrate? If you ask me, there is no such thing as a female county magistrate. If you are making up a story, make it more plausible."
The scholar by the window sneered, "If you want me to make it up, I'll be a male county magistrate, and the grain yield per mu... well, 500 kilograms is enough, 1,000 kilograms is too outrageous!"
Others echoed, "This brother, what you said makes sense. If it is as you said, I can believe it a little."
Wu Fu suddenly felt humiliated. He came here today just to show off, but he never expected that no one believed him.
He couldn't help but wonder in his heart: Could it be that the relative really made it up? But why did he make it up?
Seeing that he didn't say anything, everyone thought he had been exposed, and they didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore. They all scolded him, "Hurry up and leave. No matter what, we are going to the capital today because something big is happening. We are happy and don't want to argue with you!"
As soon as they finished speaking, a shout came from outside the restaurant: "The Jingzhao Yin has issued a notice! Come and take a look!"
Everyone was stunned. Just as the convoy left Zhuque Street, Jingzhao Yin issued a notice. The content of the notice was self-evident. It must be related to the convoy leaving the palace today!
They rushed down one after another, and Wu Fu stood up with an aggrieved look on his face and followed behind everyone.
He wanted to see whether the female county magistrate his relative was talking about actually existed!
