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

Yu Zhengqing exhaled a breath and looked at Shen Zheng for a long time without saying a word.

After a moment, he sighed and said, "If His Majesty knew that you donated all your grain, he would definitely be sad. Fortunately, he rejected all objections and appointed you as a Jinshi in the Golden Palace that day."

Shen Zheng's comeback battle with the emperor was fought beautifully.

Shen Zheng looked at Li Hongmao and the other two who were working with their heads down, and thought that the original owner was like this before.

She murmured, "Being chosen by His Majesty is Shen Zheng's blessing, and it is also... the result of hard work..."

It is the blessing of "Shen Zheng" and also the blessing of "Shen Zheng". She will complete what "Shen Zheng" has not completed.

Of course, Yu Zhengqing couldn't hear the deeper meaning in her words. He thought to himself that she was really shameless today, praising herself for her hard work.

Just as the two were talking, Xiao Lu raised his sleeve and put down his pen.

He first looked up at Yu Zhengqing and Shen Zheng, then turned to look at Li Hongmao, only to meet Li Hongmao's gaze.

He was startled and subconsciously looked at Li Hongmao's answer sheet, only to see that it had already been written in standard format.

It was obvious that Li Hongmao had already made preparations, but he remained silent, which meant he was waiting for the two of them. Xiao Lucai felt mixed emotions for a moment.

In just a moment, He Hongzhuo finished writing his article. Li Hongmao nodded to them, stood up and handed the article over, followed by Xiao Lucai and the other two.

"My Lords, the three of us have finished writing our essays. Please review them and give us your comments."

Yu Zhengqing casually handed a test paper to Shen Zheng, "Take a look too."

Shen Zheng declined: "Mr. Li is the candidate I have chosen, so I will avoid suspicion and not read it. I will read it after you have given me your comments."

She really didn't want to read it. Firstly, she said it was to avoid suspicion, and secondly, she had already been thinking for a long time today. If she read the article again, her brain would become a mess and she would lose her bias.

"What are you talking about? After all, this is your Tong'an County's business. How can you not watch it?"

Yu Zhengqing forcefully thrust an answer sheet over, then turned to ask Xiao Lucai and the others, "Does Lord Shen want to read it?"

This question... Shen Zheng complained inwardly, who dares to say that I can't bear to watch it?

As expected, Xiao Lucai and the other two immediately replied, "I am employed by the county school and am considered Mr. Shen's subordinate. Mr. Shen will certainly read it. I hope you two can review it together."

Just as Shen Zheng was thinking about how to refuse, a man ran in from the front yard of the county government office.

"My Lord! My Lord! It's a big deal! It's a big deal!"

This person was none other than the little boy following Yu Zhengqing. Xiao Lucai and his companions had also seen him before in the government office.

Now that he was jogging in, Xiao Lucai was filled with confusion.

He hadn't noticed before that the prefect's personal servant was not with the prefect, but now ran in from outside.

In fact, after Yu Zhengqing settled down in the county government office, he saw that although Shen Zheng was alone, she seemed particularly comfortable, so he also came up with the idea of ​​​​not letting the child follow him around every day.

The little boy was not used to it at first and felt that he was abandoned by Yu Zhengqing.

But within a few days, he became familiar with the Tongan County Government, like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins, and often went out to "patrol the streets" with Xiao Yuan and others.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Wait until you have a good breath before you speak."

Yu Zhengqing scolded the boy lightly, wondering if he had stayed in Tongan County for too long and had become so irritable.

The little boy ran all the way back from the street, exhausted and panting like an ox, but he couldn't delay, so he took a breath and blurted out a word:

"Sir, I just now..."

Then he took a deep breath, which made everyone present very anxious.

"What happened to you just now? If you don't explain yourself clearly, go back to the government office and get someone who can speak." Yu Zhengqing made harsh remarks while reading the article.

The little boy was also anxious, so he could only pick out the key points and pour out the beans: "Shangjingcheng - someone is here!"

"arrive?!"

Shen Zheng and Yu Zhengqing stood up together and screamed, overturning the stools behind them.

"They have arrived at Tong'an County? How is that possible? Didn't the news last night say that they had just arrived at Cangyuan Road? They covered the two hundred miles in just one day?"

Yu Zhengqing’s first reaction was that the information was delayed, which was a major mistake for a spy.

The two hundred miles of journey were directly skipped, and the news was delayed by at least three or four days. If it happened during wartime, no one would know how the spy died.

But now is not the time to ask for accusations.

Yu Zhengqing calmed himself down in a short moment. After looking Shen Zheng up and down, his expression broke for a moment.

"Your official robe is already patched, why don't you change it? How shabby and shameful! Go back to your room and change!"

Shen Zheng raised her sleeve and looked at the place where Yu Zhengqing's finger was. It was not a patch at all, it had just been sewn once.

She was a little confused at the moment, and her mind unconsciously thought that some officials deliberately wore patched clothes to show that they were incorruptible.

Why is it that to her it is considered "poor" and "shameful".

"I have a new official robe that I have never worn. I will go change into it right away!"

Shen Zheng was also a little excited. The high-ranking officials from the capital came with her rewards, and she had to receive them well!

Don't flatter people, but don't offend them either.

After all, the person who comes down to give rewards represents the grace of God.

"Wait a moment!" The little boy finally calmed down his breathing and spoke to stop Shen Zheng.

Yu Zhengqing turned back in dissatisfaction: "What's the matter? Can you finish what you are saying at once?"

The boy didn't dare to look Yu Zhengqing in the eye, and said in one breath: "The above officials came to Liuyang Prefecture this morning, not to Tongan County. The messenger said that the emperor gave Lord Shen a lot of rewards! It filled up several carriages, and they..."

"But are you waiting for me in Liuyang Mansion?" Yu Zhengqing interrupted the boy, "Then I will go back to the government office now and bring the person here after receiving him. Shen Zheng, have someone set up the table and prepare to welcome the person."

Rewarding county officials was a rare occurrence in the entire Great Zhou.

Therefore, Yu Zhengqing was not clear about the detailed procedures, but according to reason, the government officials should come out to receive the guests first and then take the person who announced the decree to the local place.

He wanted to leave immediately, but the boy said, "You don't have to go back. The messenger said that the superiors said they will come directly after resting in the government office for a while, so you don't have to run back and forth."

Yu Zhengqing was stunned when he heard this. Are these people so kind?

But now is not the time to worry about this!

Yu Zhengqing breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the dumbfounded people: "Don't be stunned, didn't you hear it! The big day for you in Tong'an County has come! Quick! Call all the people in the yamen here! Let's take a rest together!"

After being yelled at, everyone woke up as if from a dream.

Li Hongmao and his companions also gave up the idea of ​​competing. In the face of important events, what does the position of a mountain chief mean?

Fang Ziyan's eyes widened like bells. What did he hear? His Majesty! His Majesty's reward to Lord Shen! It came from Shangjing City!

Lady Shen is really amazing! Even the emperor knows about her achievements!

Pei Zhaoqi looked at Shen Zheng with admiration and volunteered: "Sir, Zi Yan and I will go find Uncle Zhao and the others."
