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

Xiao Lucai hurriedly said, "Master Lao, please give me a question! I am willing to give it a try!"

When He Hongzhuo saw Xiao Lucai's reaction, he quickly expressed his opinion: "Students are willing to give it a try!"

"Okay." Yu Zhengqing nodded with a smile, "Now Tongan County has two treasures, one is high-yield rice, and the other is cotton weaving machines. You three can use this as your topic. When cotton weaving machines are widely available, what should we do to maximize our profits?"

There is something more to Yu Zhengqing's words.

"We" does not only refer to Tongan County, and "maximizing interests" naturally does not refer to Tongan County, but to the entire Da Zhou.

But whether Li Hongmao and the other two could understand what he meant was not something he would consider.

After all, officials will never limit their sights to a corner of the country. When benefiting the people, they never just benefit a part of the people, but the entire people of the Great Zhou.

Xiao Lucai and He Hongzhuo turned pale when they heard this. This question was by no means easier than the previous one. Although the policy of Tongan County had not yet been clarified, they all knew that the county wanted to set up a fabric workshop.

This is information, but not necessarily correct information...

After all, policies change rapidly.

Moreover, Li Hongmao is in Tongan County Office every day, so there is no guarantee that...

"Mo Dong, stop thinking and do the questions. If I wanted to favor Principal Li, then you two wouldn't be sitting here answering questions, but would be beaten out of Tongan County."

The cooperation with the Caoyun Bureau has not yet been negotiated, so in the entire Tongan County Government, only he and Shen Zheng know about this.

Li Hongmao nodded, and based on the principle of fair competition, told Xiao Lucai and the other two the information he knew: one was the fabric workshop, and the other was the craftsman's apprentice.

This is information known to everyone in Tongan County, there is nothing special about it.

Fang Ziyan raised his head proudly.

Listen, listen, this is the master of Fang Ziyan and Pei Zhaoqi. Even if he is provoked, he respects every opponent. This is the true gentleman's demeanor!

But the more upright Li Hongmao behaved, the more uncomfortable Xiao Lucai felt. He had to admit that Li Hongmao's character was worthy of their admiration.

In contrast, he and Stanley Ho are very much like treacherous villains trying to seize power.

"Do the questions. I'll give you one hour."

One hour! The hearts of the three people present were tense.

With such a short time, it is impossible to produce a complete article. They can only write an outline and condense the essence of the article.

After Yu Zhengqing finished speaking, he stared at Fang Ziyan who was standing beside him, "Come on, little Ziyan, Uncle Yu will continue to teach you arithmetic."

"what?"

Fang Ziyan was about to cry, and pushed Pei Zhaoqi in front of him: "Uncle Prefect, Zhaoqi is smart. He just said that after you teach him, he will come to teach Ziyan."

Seeing his bullied look, Yu Zhengqing had a joke in mind, "Zhao Qi has Principal Li to teach him, so Uncle Yu wants to teach you."

Fang Ziyan: "...Uncle Magistrate, I have forgotten everything I just learned. Can I continue to recite arithmetic..."

Yu Zhengqing was so amused that he laughed out loud, not caring at all whether this behavior would affect the three people who were writing the article.

Jin Zhanpeng was extremely envious standing aside. The two disciples of Chief Li were truly the treasures of everyone in the county government!

Just as he was stunned, Yu Zhengqing's words reached his ears.

"Jin...Jin Zhanpeng, right? Do you want to learn? It will be useful later."

Jin Zhanpeng's eyes lit up. There is such a good thing!

......

Tongan County granary.

Finally finished screening the seeds.

Shen Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and put all the rice seeds in her hand into the winnowing basket.

The last step of screening is grain selection, which means not a single grain of rice is left out.

They were divided into two teams. After the first team selected the grains, they handed the selected rice seeds to the second team for inspection, striving to ensure that there were no mistakes.

At this moment, Shen Zheng only felt soreness in her eyes, and tears flowed out unconsciously.

Her outer robe was covered in rice dust, so she had no choice but to pull out the lining of her clothes and wipe away her tears.

"Sir, are you okay?" Zhao Xiu walked over worriedly.

Shen Zheng wiped her face vigorously, "It's okay, bring a scale and weigh it!"

After she finished speaking, she looked at the rice seeds sent by various villages and asked loudly, "Wu Lizheng, have you finished weighing them?"

"Sir, it's almost done! It will take at most an incense stick of time!" Wu Lizheng saw that they had finished sifting the rice seeds, and he became anxious and urged them repeatedly: "Hurry up, hurry up, don't drag your feet."

Instead, Xu Zhubu, who was recording the weight, comforted him, "Don't worry, we have to weigh it carefully, and the adults will also have to weigh it to calculate the ratio."

"Eh." Wu Lizheng responded casually, but his hands moved more and more anxiously.

Xu Zhubu had no choice but to move closer and take in all the movements of the crowd to prevent them from making mistakes in their haste.

On the other hand, Shen Zheng adhered to the principle of slow work and fine work, and weighed the items carefully.

"At Aunt Zhang's home in Nanba Village, the rice seeds sifted out weighed a total of 145 jin and 2 liang."

Shen Zheng took note, "Next one."

"Ding Qiuer's family in Nanba Village sifted out rice seeds weighing a total of 128 jin and 7 liang."

Ding Qiuer.

Shen Zheng raised her head when she heard that, and her thoughts were brought back to the time before the autumn harvest. She thought of Ding Qiuer, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Although Ding Qiuer's behavior was a little irritating at the beginning, she had a good heart and knew right from wrong. Even after she got married, she still missed Tongan County.

Moreover, she is a strong mother and a qualified mother.

Shen Zheng asked: "How is she after she came back? Is everything okay at home? Are her grandmother and daughter okay?"

"All right, all right. Sir, I was thinking today that I hadn't visited her and the little girl since I brought them back last time, so I stopped by today."

Zhao Xiu said this with a smile on his face: "You don't know, I almost didn't recognize her when I went there today. The last time I saw her, she seemed to be shrouded in a cloud of sorrow. At a glance, I felt that her face was filled with dark energy, and she looked extremely listless. I couldn't even see her face clearly."

"What about today?" Shen Zheng asked.

"The Ding Qiuer I saw today was rosy-cheeked. Even the little girl looked a lot plumper. When she saw me, she chirped like a little sparrow, calling me Uncle Captain."

"Isn't it rounder?" A villager nearby said, "Compared with Yonglu County, the life in Tong'an County is like heaven and earth. Now the people in our county are the envy of the surrounding counties!"

Zhao Xiu took it very seriously and agreed, "Ding Qiu'er also said that it's a good thing that the girl was brought back."

Shen Zheng had a faint smile on her face, "Okay."

As long as everything is good, living a good life is the same expectation she shares with many ordinary people.

Shen Zheng said: "Continue weighing."

"Eh!"

In just one stick of incense, Xu Zhubu had finished weighing all the rice seeds, and Shen Zheng had also calculated the seed production rate of each village.

She also reversed the seed yield rate. By simply comparing the weight of the rice seeds produced with the weight recorded by Xu Zhubu, she could find out whether the rice seeds in each village had been screened to standard.

Shen Zheng put the two pieces of paper together, and as he looked at them, his brows began to frown.

wrong.

The weight of rice seeds is wrong.
