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

That day, Shen Zheng had just sent Hu Likai away - the people of Tongan County were weighing the yield per mu and screening the seeds, and he was even more excited than them.

To him, it felt like there was a pole above his head with two large lumps of meat hanging on the pole, hooking him forward.

He has waited too long and can't wait any longer.

Yu Zhengqing looked at his back as he left and shook his head. "You are so eager for quick success. It's just a matter of a few days. I came all the way here because I was afraid you would forget about him."

Shen Zheng chuckled, poured tea into the teacup and pushed it to Yu Zhengqing.

"People working in every industry have characteristics that are unique to that industry. Some people can cover them up perfectly, while others can't or don't want to."

"Then what type do you think this person with the surname Hu is?" Yu Zhengqing asked her.

"He thought about covering it up, but couldn't help it." Shen Zheng said, "If he didn't cover it up, it would have come on the first day, but he delayed it until today. However, the word profit is attractive, not to mention the word 'reputation', so he couldn't help it. Even if he is despised by the subordinates, he has to come and fight."

Seeing her thorough analysis, Yu Zhengqing raised his cup and sipped his tea, "You really have a thorough understanding of people."

He asked again: "Come and have tea with me if you have time. How are the preparations for the county school going?"

Shen Zheng's hand holding the tea froze, and he answered honestly, "The preparations for the county school are basically complete, and the teachers have all moved in. There are still some small things missing, and Master Qiao is working with his apprentices. When the screening is completed, the students can officially enter the school. The Enlightenment School is still recruiting teachers. Once Principal Li and others have selected a good person, I will go and take a look."

Yu Zhengqing nodded and suddenly said, "Isn't it that Wang Guangjin who is in charge of the renovation of the county school? I think he is generally good. If he cultivates his character, he will be a useful person in the future."

Shen Zheng chuckled, "Your Excellency and I think alike."

While the two were talking, Zhao Xiu came from the front yard and reported: "Sir, Xiao Yuan just came back and said that a carriage drove into our county, and there were yamen runners on both sides of the carriage."

Shen Zheng and Yu Zhengqing looked at each other.

people come.

Yu Zhengqing waved his hand at Zhao Xiu, "Don't tell everyone to have any other reactions, just do what you need to do. These people have come to ask for help from you, so just behave properly and don't give them too much face."

Zhao Xiu had an idea in his mind and bowed and walked out.

The government offices in various places are far away from each other, so they won’t come together. Only one family came today.

A luxurious carriage drove slowly through the streets and alleys of Tongan County. The people of Tongan County were not surprised. They just took a look and then continued to work.

The old lady who was sorting the leaves of vegetables didn't even raise her head and said to the person next to her: "There's someone coming outside again. I don't know what kind of official it is this time."

The county resident nearby was even more arrogant, "No matter what kind of official he is, he is here to look for our master!"

......

A quarter of an hour later, at the county government office.

Yu Zhengqing looked a little disgusted. He didn't expect that the person who came today was an old acquaintance, and an acquaintance he didn't want to see, which made him feel bored.

"Prefect Luo, you're here pretty quickly." He greeted him indifferently.

The person who came was Luo Zhijing, the prefect of Fuzhou. Previously, the merchant chambers of commerce between Liuyang Prefecture and Fuzhou Prefecture had a conflict over prices, and in the end, it was Yu Zhengqing and Luo Zhijing who discussed and resolved the issue.

Yu Zhengqing's attitude was neither cold nor indifferent, but Luo Zhijing opposite him was smiling.

"Master Yu, I think the mountains and rivers of Tongan County are good for health. I heard that you have lived here for some time and you look a lot plumper."

He then saw Shen Zheng next to him and said with a smile: "This must be Lord Shen from Tongan County, right? I am glad to meet you. I can see that you are indeed a talented and outstanding woman. The emperor is indeed very discerning and has chosen you as his female official."

In one sentence, both Shen Zheng and the emperor were praised.

But his last sentence also gave Shen Zheng some information.

This Magistrate Luo was too enthusiastic and talked too much. Yu Zhengqing didn't want to respond to him, so Shen Zheng could only greet him, "Lord Luo, you are too kind. The road was bumpy. Would you like to take a rest first?"

Luo Zhijing certainly didn't rest. He rushed to Tongan County after finishing the things at hand, but he didn't come here to rest.

Moreover, he had just exchanged all the necessary pleasantries. He just didn't want to stay with Yu Zhengqing for too long. He just wanted to settle the matter quickly and leave.

"As soon as I arrived in Tong'an County, I felt relaxed and refreshed. I didn't need to rest." He sniffed and said, "It smells like fresh rice. It smells good."

Before Shen Zheng could answer, he leaned towards Yu Zhengqing again and said to him disgustingly: "Master Yu, why are you ignoring me? But what did I do wrong before that made you uncomfortable? Just tell me and I will definitely change it."

Shen Zheng: “…” This guy is so mean, luckily Yu Zhengqing stayed.

Yu Zhengqing: "Can you please stop talking and get straight to the point? Your chatter is making my head hurt."

Luo Zhijing realized that he had achieved his goal, so he said straight to the point: "Since you said so, I will also say it directly. I am here to buy grain seeds from Lord Shen, and you cannot let Lord Shen not sell them to me."

Shen Zheng's eyes flashed when she heard that. This man seemed to be a chatterbox on the surface, but actually in every long paragraph of his, there were always one or two useful sentences, and that was true for this paragraph as well as the previous ones.

Straightforward words, unconcealed thoughts.

This person is very interesting and has a history with Yu Zhengqing, Shen Zheng thought.

Shen Zheng silently adjusted her facial expression and said with a formal smile: "Don't worry, Master Yu is most looking forward to the well-being of our various prefectures. He has long instructed me not to make money from you, Master."

Yu Zhengqing glanced at Luo Zhijing silently and sneered in his heart. If he knew that the person coming was Luo Zhijing, he would definitely inform Shen Zheng first and make a killing from this guy.

But at this time he still didn't ruin Shen Zheng's show.

"Oh?" Luo Zhijing glanced at Yu Zhengqing suspiciously and said perfunctorily:

"Sir Yu, I know you are thinking about us. You are the role model for our generation. But don't worry, Sir Shen. You are now open for business. I will definitely give you what you deserve from Tong'an County."

"Heh." Yu Zhengqing didn't even glance at him.

"Oh, right." Luo Zhijing asked Shen Zheng again: "Sir Shen, please tell me about this rice seed...what are you and Sir Yu planning? How much can I buy back? Sir Yu also knows that my Fuzhou Prefecture is much larger than Liuyang Prefecture."

Such straightforward words.

Yu Zhengqing didn't want to pay attention to him, but Luo Zhijing was so annoying today that he couldn't help but said sarcastically: "Your Fuzhou Prefecture is big, why haven't I seen it? How many Tong'an counties are there in Fuzhou Prefecture?"

Today, Tongan County is Yu Zhengqing’s second greatest confidence.

The biggest source of confidence, of course, is his old father who lives far away in Beijing. The officialdom is like a quagmire, and without a backer, it is impossible to move forward.
