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

Zhou Lizheng shouted excitedly: "The yield per mu is over 1,200 kilograms! Folks! We have grown the highest yield per mu of grain in the world!"

Shen Zheng smiled and shook her head when she heard that. She wondered if potatoes and sweet potatoes in some corner of the world would be dissatisfied and curse out loud.

But she didn't say anything to disturb the beauty of the moment.

The villagers' joy overflowed. They couldn't stop cheering and jumping for joy. Some even ran back and forth on the drying dam.

"We are Nanba Village! No! It's our Tongan County! We are the people in the entire Great Zhou! We are the ones who can eat the most! We! Don't have to go hungry anymore!"

"More than 1,200 kilograms of rice! I grew it in my Nanba village on one acre of land!"

Even the birds in the sky and the cicadas in the trees felt the warm atmosphere of Nanba Village and chirped non-stop.

It seemed like he was congratulating them.

The villagers hugged each other, and Zhou Lizheng was also very excited. He took a pen and paper and turned around to hug someone. When he found that the person closest to him was Shen Zheng, his mind cleared up for a moment. He thought that he must not offend Lord Shen, so he changed direction temporarily.

He chose to hug Yu Zhengqing.

Yu Zhengqing: “…”

Shen Zheng: “…”

Shen Zheng had just raised her hand, but then put it down again.

At this time, the atmosphere on the drying dam was like Chinese New Year, and the villagers shouted in unison: "One thousand two! One thousand two! One thousand two! Nanba Village! Nanba Village! Nanba Village!"

Zhou Lizheng was jumping and dancing while holding Yu Zhengqing. After a moment, he realized that he was too excited and dared to hug the prefect!

He was annoyed, and quickly let go of her hand, saying, "Please forgive me, sir. I was too happy just now and offended you!"

Yu Zhengqing actually didn't feel offended.

Because this was a feeling he had never experienced before, simple, pure, and extreme joy.

It was not 1,200 kilograms of silver, nor 1,200 kilograms of gold, but 1,200 kilograms of grain.

He sighed and said that some people struggled and worked hard all their lives without knowing what they were looking for, and were not even as good as these lowest-level farmers.

They live purely, are not greedy, are easily satisfied, and are willing to enjoy the most ordinary happiness. This is really rare.

Yu Zhengqing coughed lightly, "This is just the first one, let them not be too happy, let's try a few more and see."

Zhou Lizheng straightened his expression upon hearing this, and couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.

After all, no matter how high the per-acre yield of Chen Erbo's family is, it cannot represent the entire Nanba Village.

He shouldn't be happy too soon.

He cleared his throat, made trumpet shapes with his hands, and shouted, "Everyone, be quiet! This is just one household, and it cannot represent all the households in Nanba Village! Everyone, calm down first before you get excited!"

This really spoils the mood.

The villagers immediately stopped what they were doing.

Yes, this can be called Chen Erbo’s rice. Why are they so happy?

"Huzi! Quick! Weigh two more households! Zhou Lizheng, whose household will be weighed next?"

Zhou Lizheng quickly straightened out the crumpled list and shouted, "The second family to weigh rice is Granny Xu's, one acre of land!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Grandma Xu and her family, who were called, carried their own rice and walked out of the crowd.

Grandma Xu was about sixty years old and was carrying a smaller sack. Her children stood behind her, their faces full of joy.

"Huzi! Please weigh it for me!"

Grandma Xu speaks with great energy, and just by listening to her voice, you would never imagine that she is sixty years old.

Hu Zi and his two brothers got ready, and the second round of rice weighing officially began!

Just like before, the villagers kept their eyes glued to the scale bar without blinking.

Shen Zheng also looked at the rice in Grandma Xu's house carefully. She was wondering how many kilograms of rice there were in Grandma Xu's house.

But each family makes their own sacks, of different sizes and capacities, so it is difficult for her to estimate the weight just by looking at it with her eyes.

She had no choice but to stop worrying and wait patiently for Hu Zi and the others to weigh themselves.

Good things take time, so don't be impatient.

At some point, Yu Zhengqing walked up to Shen Zheng. With a smile on his face, he whispered, "Our luck shouldn't be that bad."

Shen Zheng immediately understood what he meant.

She nodded and replied in a low voice: "I also think that it can't be such a coincidence that Uncle Chen's family has the highest per-acre yield in the entire Nanba Village, right?"

Isn't this just like everyone playing Landlord and throwing a royal bomb at the beginning?

If the foreshadowing is so good in the beginning that it would be disappointing if the later part does not meet expectations, it would be better to proceed step by step and keep people excited with expectations.

Yu Zhengqing looked at the rice hanging on the big scale and said with a smile: "I think that Lord Shen has always had good luck. Wherever you are, good things will happen."

Shen Zheng was helpless, "Sir, please stop teasing me."

Yu Zhengqing shook his head. "I'm not kidding. Let's wait for them to weigh a few more plants. If the yield per mu can be stabilized at more than 1,000 kilograms..."

He paused, looked into the distance and said, "I reported a yield of 1,000 catties per mu in my previous letter. Now it seems that the yield per mu in your Tong'an County must be more than 1,000 catties. His Majesty will be delighted when he knows this, and you will leave a better impression on him."

An official who is pragmatic and humble is actually rare in the court of the Zhou Dynasty.

Your Majesty, Shen Zheng thought silently in his heart.

The emperor of the Great Zhou was the pinnacle of power in this era and someone that ordinary people would never be able to see in their lifetime.

The original body had met the emperor during her palace examination, but it was vague in Shen Zheng's memory.

Because during the palace examination, candidates were not allowed to look directly at the emperor's face, so Shen Zheng only vaguely remembered that the emperor was a middle-aged man with an imposing manner.

She was curious and asked, "Did His Majesty receive your letter?"

"Got it." Yu Zhengqing said confidently, "Who knows, the people from Beijing may be on their way."

Shen Zheng was a little surprised: "So fast?"

Yu Zhengqing laughed and said, "They didn't even look at what you handed over. How dare they not be quick? If they are negligent, the emperor will skin them alive."

He thought about the situation in Shangjing when he left, and whispered: "I just don't know who will come. If it's someone who is not easy to deal with..."

"It's not easy to get along with him?" Shen Zheng's heart tightened. After she met Yin Wencai, she realized how deep the water in the court was.

There are some forces that she is not able to deal with at the moment. If she leaves Tongan County in the future, she must take every step carefully and not be sucked into the center of the vortex.

But it's okay for now. My boss is the son of an official after all. As long as I don't leave Tongan County, there shouldn't be any big trouble.

"It's alright, just relax. They should arrive at Liuyang Mansion first, and I will come with them. They should give my father some face."

Ever since he figured it out that day, he has been using the title of Earl of Yongning more and more easily.
