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

Chapter 247: Joint Red Handprint, do you have a seal to bring to His Majesty?

But the more they listened, they realized that Huang Hu's "letter" was not just a simple greeting to the disaster victims in the east.

Yu Zhengqing continued to read haltingly, "We in Tongan County have lived through hard times and know what it's like to be hungry. So this time, the county magistrate, Ms. Shen, (in parentheses) is the first female county magistrate of the Great Zhou, Shen Zheng. Have you heard of her?"

When Yu Zhengqing read this, the embarrassed person shifted from Huang Hu to Shen Zheng.

She complained in her heart: There is no need to read out the contents in brackets... Also, what is the new title for the first female county magistrate of the Great Zhou Dynasty...

"Lord Shen donated all his food, but she wouldn't let us donate because every household has just enough food to eat."

"The rice seeds have not been sold, so we don't have much money now. These few copper coins are a token of my appreciation. Please don't waste them..."

Yu Zhengqing felt that his thoughts were one with Hu Zi, and he could easily correct the wrong characters.

The more he read, the smoother his voice became, his emotions became fuller, and his words became more sincere.

It was these simple words that made everyone present feel as if they were seeing Hu Zi writing a letter - he clearly could not read or write, but he still struggled to use charcoal to write on the linen.

Everyone felt a lump in their throat for no reason.

The county resident next to Hu Zi punched him: You kid!

Yu Zhengqing hadn't finished reading yet: "The rice that Lord Shen has us plant can produce up to 1,000 kilograms per mu. I believe that in a short time, you will be able to overcome the difficulties and plant this rice with us, and you will never go hungry again!"

"it is good!!"

Everyone cheered wholeheartedly, and the applause was deafening.

Just when they thought that the content of this "letter" ended here, Yu Zhengqing continued:

"The emperor and officials of our Great Zhou are all very good. Please trust them."

The people of Tongan County present nodded one after another.

Yes, very good! Hello, Lord Yu! Help them sell rice seeds.

The emperor and the Earl of Yongning were also very kind! They did not bury Lady Shen's achievements and gave her generous rewards.

Of course! The best one is Mr. Shen.

Shen Zheng's eyes reddened as she watched the county residents nodding their heads in agreement.

The human body is really amazing. Under the self-protection mechanism, the brain will make you forget the pain of the past.

Is she and Yu Zhengqing good together?

I think so.

But how was the previous Wei County Magistrate?

How is Magistrate Luo next door?

How is the Magistrate Wang from yesterday?

Obviously, neither is good.

But why could Huang Hu say that all the officials of the Great Zhou were good, and why did the county residents agree with him so much?

Just because of the presence of Shen Zheng and others, they forgot the pain of the past.

Just because people have to look forward, Huang Hu wants to give the disaster victims in the east a little encouragement and a glimmer of hope.

He wanted to tell them that all the people of the Great Zhou share a common destiny. If we are living a good life, then your future will definitely not be bad either!

So, please believe in the country, believe in the emperor, and believe...in the officials of the Great Zhou.

This reminded Shen Zheng of her past life.

It is the same in a country without war but with occasional natural disasters. When one side is in trouble, all sides will come to its aid, and the whole country will work together to overcome the disaster.

She suddenly laughed.

Who says that people who farm are stupid? Who says that people who farm are naive?

They are clearly very meticulous.

"it is good!"

There was another round of applause, and everyone looked in the direction of the sound.

It’s Yu Shizhang.

Huang Hu watched him walk out of the county government office, then walk into the crowd, and finally, stop in front of him, and then...

Yongning Bo patted him on the shoulder and said, "You are the good men of my Great Zhou. When I saw you, I knew that this trip was not in vain!"

Huang Hu stood there in a daze, Yu Shizhang's hand on his shoulder still felt as heavy as a thousand pounds.

Did Earl Yongning praise him?

Did the founding father, Earl Yongning, praise him as a peasant?

Nyonya——

I wanted to sneak a few words and some coins in, but not only did the "letter" get read out by the prefect, but I was also praised by the Earl of Yongning in front of everyone?

He pinched his thigh.

Not a dream.

Damn...it's so beautiful...is this what it means to do good deeds?

Yu Shizhang walked back to the steps with a smile, took the linen cloth from Yu Zhengqing's hand, and said, "This is enough food, so there is no need to donate money."

"what......"

Everyone felt a little lost.

But they donated less?

They were just about to say that they could donate a few hundred coins after selling the rice seeds, when they heard Yu Shizhang say:

"It's not that it's too little. It's that once the grain is brought back to Liuyang Prefecture today, it will be directly loaded onto ships at the dock and sent to the east. Even if you donate money, you won't have the opportunity to buy grain."

"Well... we can give these copper coins to our compatriots in the east. Even though it's little, it's better than nothing..." a county resident whispered.

Yu Shizhang shook his head. "What's worrying is not the lack of food, but the inequality of food. The food donated by the entire Liuyang Prefecture this time can't solve the problem of the entire east, but it can be distributed to disaster relief recipients with the prefectures along the way. But how are you going to divide your copper coins?"

The people of Tongan County frowned when they heard this.

Copper coins are not gold, and it seems that there is really no way to separate them...

Yu Shizhang dealt them another fatal blow: "Can we ask all the people in the prefectures along the way to donate some copper coins? You know, this year only your Tong'an County has a yield of 1,000 kilograms per mu, and life is a little better."

yes......

The people of Tongan County were silent. If their lives were not as comfortable as they were now, they would never have donated a penny.

If you can’t even take care of yourself, how can you take care of others?

After understanding the facts, they stopped their actions, but at the same time they felt a little lost.

Yu Shizhang didn't know why, but when he saw these simple people looking disappointed, he felt a little uncomfortable.

After a moment he thought of a plan.

"The cloth bags and copper coins of Huang Hu and his men can be taken with them, and..."

Everyone's eyes lit up!

"And the contents of the cloth bag are meant to encourage. I think everyone present here today can come up and make a handprint with red mud as a joint letter to let our compatriots in the east know your intentions. What do you think?"

Everyone's eyes widened.

What can I do? That's great! This idea is absolutely brilliant!

"Yes, sir! We are very willing! Shall we press it now?"

"Move the rice first, then press it last!"

"Hey! Okay!"

As soon as the words fell, everyone's hands and feet moved more than twice as fast.

Shen Zheng and Yu Zhengqing stood behind Yu Shizhang and watched the whole thing, stunned with shock.

It turned out that the old ones are the most experienced. With just a few words, he had everyone under control and they were completely obedient and happy.

Finally, the relief grain was loaded onto the trucks, and the county residents who were present and who had heard the news, put their red fingerprints on the sign as they had wished.

As the last carriage left, Tongan County, which had been bustling all day, gradually became quiet.

Sudden.

"Hey! Carriage! No, it's the coachman! Brother coachman! We haven't got on yet! Brother coachman, wait for me!"

A long line of county residents hung far behind the carriage, shouting heart-wrenchingly.

......

One day later, the chief of the rewarded officers and soldiers found Shen Zheng.

"Sir Shen, we are ready to return to the capital to report. The Lord said he would stay here for a while, so we have assigned a group of people to stay here. Do you have anything to bring back to the capital?"

Bring it back to Beijing?

Shen Zheng was slightly stunned.

Isn’t it just for His Majesty?
