Transmigrated into a female county magistrate during a famine, leading her country to prosperity
Chapter 229: Your Excellency Smells So Good...
In the past, they were still calculating for her that the rice seeds screened out from her personal share of rice were extremely considerable. If they were all handed over to the Hu’s Grain Shop for sale, then she would be able to transform herself into the richest person in Tongan County!
But now, My Lord is actually going to give the part that belongs to him personally to the county government?
They couldn't help but feel sorry for Shen Zheng.
Because others get rich, they are jealous, envious, and jealous, and they hate why the rich people are not themselves!
But when they saw Shen Zheng getting rich, they had only one thought - that was what the adults deserved because they had done so many good things!
Shen Zheng saw that they were so anxious that their eyes turned red, and their expressions were more uncomfortable than if they had been emptied of their pockets. She smiled and said:
"It's okay. Don't forget that I can make money selling it to the county government. It's 200 coins per pound."
Only two hundred coins!
Zhou Lizheng wanted to retort immediately. Compared with one tael of silver, two hundred coins were nothing!
Shen Zheng did not give him a chance to speak: "That's enough. I have never seen so much silver from you adults. When I earn enough silver, I will treat you to meat."
Zhou Lizheng was just about to say that they didn't want to eat meat and wanted the adults to make money, when he heard someone behind him say, "I want to eat pork belly! Half fat and half lean! Thank you, sir!"
"?"
He turned around and saw Zhao Xiu winking at him, pulling him back two steps, and whispering:
"Your Excellency's actions must have a meaning, so we should support them."
Seeing that Shen Zheng had made up her mind, Zhou Lizheng didn't say anything more.
Shen Zheng nodded to Zhao Xiu, "Also, I will donate the remaining 10% of my rice, except for the rice seeds, in the name of all the people in Tongan County. It will be done in the next few days. When you go back, you can send the rice over after you have sorted it out."
This time even Zhao Xiu was surprised: "Donation?"
"Yes, donation." Shen Zheng nodded. "Master Yu said that he received the news a month ago. The eastern part of the Great Zhou has been flooded for three consecutive years, and the harvest has been poor every year. It rained for a whole month in July this year. The crops in the fields are estimated to be..."
She didn't finish her words.
But everyone present knew that with the continuous rain for months, the crops in the fields... were probably doomed to fail.
Zhao Xiu's heart trembled, as if a dark cloud was lingering in his mind.
The county was cut off from information, and they didn't know that the disaster in the east was so serious. They had also experienced hunger, so they knew how painful it was.
The village heads also looked serious, "Sir, if you donate, then we will donate too! We will replace a few kilograms of new rice with old rice, and every household can donate ten kilograms to the people in the east!"
"Yes! It's just a few pounds of new rice. We won't starve!"
If it were last year, even if they knew the news, they would be powerless to do anything. They couldn't even get enough food to eat, so how could they help others?
But the times now are different from the past. They even find it hard to believe that now they can solve their own food and clothing while helping their fellow countrymen in the Great Zhou.
It feels as unreal as a dream, but there is an indescribable feeling in my heart.
It’s a strange feeling, a feeling of pride and warmth in my heart.
Unexpectedly, Shen Zheng rejected them.
"You don't have to donate anymore. I'll keep that batch of grain anyway, so why not donate it in the name of Tong'an County? Everyone will get a share. What you need to do is to bring the grain to the county government as soon as possible, and then the grain will be taken to the east together with the disaster relief grain from Liuyang Prefecture."
The village heads wanted to argue further, but Shen Zheng raised her hand to stop them.
"Each household has nearly 1,000 kilograms of food, which is almost a year's food ration. You have done enough, keep it for yourselves. No need to say more, disperse. The sooner you bring the food here, the sooner our food will reach the hands of the disaster victims! Action!"
Seeing Shen Zheng's determined expression, they gritted their teeth and left the granary.
Before leaving, he threatened: "One day! In just one day, we will bring the relief grain here. You tell the prefect's men to get ready!"
Seeing their unwillingness to admit defeat, Shen Zheng smiled and nodded, "The prefect and I are waiting for you at the county government office."
After the village heads left, Shen Zheng and Xu Zhubu recorded the grain types that had been stored in the warehouse that day.
"Master Shen! Master Xu!"
A woman carrying a backpack trotted into the county government office, and after trying to catch her breath, she said, "I, Feng Zhiyi, and my father are late. I am negligent in my duty. I hope you will punish me!"
As she spoke, she took the backpack off her back. When the backpack fell to the ground, there was a clang and a lot of dust was stirred up on the ground.
Shen Zheng's eyebrows jumped when she saw this. This backpack seemed a bit heavy.
"Captain Zhao told me that you and Mr. Feng went to buy repair materials. I don't blame you," she said.
Unexpectedly, Feng Zhiyi wanted to kneel down when she heard this. Shen Zheng quickly took two steps at a time, grabbed her wrist, and asked in a deep voice, "Why are you kneeling?"
Feng Zhiyi looked at Shen Zheng's face that suddenly approached him and his face turned red.
The adults smell so good...
Adults' hands are so warm...
No! The adults are asking her questions! What is she thinking about!
Feng Zhiyi quickly stepped back and stammered, "I, my daughter and my father managed the granary together. The camphor wood was rotten and we didn't repair it in advance. It was my daughter and my father's fault."
Shen Zheng looked at Feng Zhiyi suspiciously.
Didn't Zhao Xiu say that this woman has a forthright personality? Why did she blush after just a few words? Was she a little too introverted?
Besides, Mr. Feng never said before that his daughter was a stutterer... ?
Fortunately, being a warehouse manager is a job that requires both physical and mental effort, and you don't have to talk all the time. If you have enough energy, you can be a warehouse manager even if you stutter.
She patted Feng Zhiyi on the shoulder and said, "It's a good thing that we found it in time. From now on, there will be food in the warehouse all the time. We really need to pay more attention to it. Don't be stingy with the materials. Just ask the government for money when it's time to pay it. Do you understand?"
Feng Zhiyi screamed in her heart again—the Lord touched her shoulder! The Lord Shen whom she admired the most! He touched her arm and then her shoulder!
She has to change this dress and keep it as a treasure!
"?" Seeing that the corners of her mouth were about to stretch to her ears, Shen Zheng couldn't help but take a step back.
This girl looks like she wants to eat someone...
She rubbed her arms and said to Xu Zhubu, "Well, Xu Zhubu, you stay and tell Miss Feng about the rice seeds that were put into the warehouse today. Be careful. I'm going back to the county government office first."
After saying that, she winked at Xu Zhubu, asking him to observe this girl carefully. Shen Zheng felt that she looked a little abnormal.
Xu Zhubu nodded at her and watched her leave.
After Shen Zheng walked away, he said to the dazed Feng Yizhi, "Don't be stunned. The adults have gone far away."
"Ah——" Feng Zhiyi woke up as if from a dream. He quickly turned his head to look, but he didn't even see Shen Zheng's back.
She wanted to cry but had no tears, and pounded her head in frustration.
She must have scared the adults, and this made an even worse impression on them.
When Xu Zhubu saw her reaction, he chuckled in his heart. This time, the lord really wronged this girl. She was not abnormal at all.
"I was just so close to you just now that I felt a little confused for a moment. Master Chief Clerk, are you angry with me?" Feng Zhiyi asked.
"No." Xu Zhubu shook his head and gave her a bowl of magic soup. "The master likes subordinates who are capable of doing things. If you manage the granary seriously, the master will see your ability."
"it is good!"
