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

Shen Zheng saw Zhang Yuanwei was sweating with anxiety and chuckled:

"Okay, okay, it's a place for teaching and educating people. Why do we have to compare it with other academies? Teachers teach and students seek knowledge, that's enough."

Zhou Lizheng quickly shut his mouth.

He is... just too happy today.

After Li Leyou came in, she still felt a little embarrassed. This was her first time stepping into such a "luxurious" place.

She carried her salary and followed the crowd quietly. Just listening to them talking, she felt so happy.

From now on, this is where she studies. It feels like a dream, yet so real.

"Leyou, come."

Shen Zheng stood at the front of the crowd and turned to call her.

Li Leyou opened his eyes slightly, and after being stunned for a moment, he hurried forward.

She called out obediently, "Master Shen."

Shen Zheng patted her shoulder, asked her to walk beside him, and talked as they walked.

"Don't be nervous. You are the first girl in our county school. We are your darling. You are not old enough. Just treat this place as your home. Go to class with the teachers. If you want to read any book, tell the teachers."

Shen Zheng originally thought that the girl was too nervous, so she wanted to talk to her to help her relax.

Who would have thought that as soon as she opened her mouth, Li Leyou became even more nervous.

She stammered, "Yes, yes, sir, I will study hard in the county school!"

Shen Zheng was at a loss whether to laugh or cry when she saw that her comfort had backfired.

Zhou Lizheng squeezed into the conversation at the right time and asked Shen Zheng: "Sir, have you ever guessed that there are girls in our county who can read?"

Shen Zheng looked at Li Leyou with a smile and shook her head.

"I told you before that if there are girls who can read, you must not miss them, but I didn't have high hopes. After all, the situation in our county before..."

Seeing Zhou Lizheng coming forward, Li Leyou quietly retreated into the crowd.

Zhou Lizheng saw it out of the corner of his eye, and then whispered to Shen Zheng what happened that morning.

In fact, Shen Zheng had already guessed that if the incident had not happened suddenly, Zhou Lizheng and his companions would not have been almost late. After all, they were told to gather at chen time, but they arrived at Mao time.

"I didn't expect the reason to be so touching..."

Shen Zheng sighed, "Her grandparents... Never mind, out of respect for the deceased, let's not say much, but her parents loved her very much."

"Yes."

Zhou Lizheng frowned and wanted to complain about Li Leyou's grandparents, but thinking that today was a great day, it would be better not to spoil the fun.

As everyone was chatting and watching, they walked through the corridor and along the stone corridor, and a row of townhouses came into view.

There is a plaque hanging in the middle of the house, with the words "Xue Xuan" written on it.

"We're here." said Li Hongmao.

The students looked at Xuexuan and their noses suddenly felt sore.

This will be the place where they will study, read books, acquire knowledge from their teachers, and make friends with like-minded people.

From the moment they learned that the county school was to be established, they had been looking forward to that day. They thought day and night about what clothes they should wear and what expressions they should have when the county school really opened.

But when the day really came, all the preparations made with confidence in the past became a wisp of smoke.

Does it really matter what you wear?

Not important anymore.

The important thing is that they no longer have to see their parents growing gray-haired because of the high tuition fees, while they, as the instigators, are helpless.

The important thing is that they no longer have to be so cautious and watch the faces of their teachers and classmates, fearing that they will be looked down upon and their families just because they are poor people from Tongan County.

The important thing is that all these students will have a place to belong in the future.

The tired bird will eventually return to its nest.

"Don't stand at the door. Follow Principal Li in and take a look at the place where you will study in the future." Shen Zheng called.

“Yes, yes…”

The students wiped the tears from the corners of their eyes, took steps, and followed their headmaster, step by step, into the school pavilion.

Pei Zhaoqi and Fang Ziyan joined the group of students at some point and walked in with them.

Fang Ziyan was unusually quiet today. He didn't understand the twists and turns. He only knew what Zhao Qi said:

"Students from Tongan County have been looking forward to this day for too long. Today is not the time for us to laugh and play."

Zhou Lizheng was looking at the students' tall backs and sniffed secretly.

"What's wrong? Are you crying? What a shame!"

Wu Lizheng laughed in a humming voice.

Zhou Lizheng ignored him and turned his head to Shen Zheng and said, "Sir, the students of Tongan County will have a place to study in the future."

Shen Zheng smiled and nodded.

Wu Lizheng saw that he was being ignored, and said in a buzzing voice: "What's the matter? Did you know that the county school was open on the first day?"

"You!"

Zhou Lizheng's sentimentality suddenly disappeared, "Sir, let's ignore him and go in first!"

......

The students sat down one by one in the study hall.

They touched the table in front of them again and again out of curiosity, unable to let it go, and whispered:

"These are desks made especially for us by craftsmen in the county. I heard that the beds in the house were also made by them."

This feeling of being cared for, they are no longer the "unwanted" children...

I can’t think about it. My nose starts to feel sore again when I think about it.

Shen Zheng and others stood behind the students, while Li Hongmao and three teachers stood in the front.

Li Hongmao looked at Shen Zheng behind him and recalled what she said today.

"I am the county magistrate, but I am also the principal of your county school. You should be the one making the decisions on all matters concerning the county school. If you are really unsure, you can come to me to discuss and solve the problem. Therefore, you will be fully responsible for the opening of school today."

This means trusting him and giving him power.

He nodded slightly to Shen Zheng behind him, and then his whole aura changed instantly.

"Hello everyone."

The students quickly stood up and said, "Hello, President Li, hello, gentlemen."

"Today is the first day of the Tongan County School. My last name is Li, you can call me Principal Li or Mr. Li. This gentleman's last name is Jin..."

Li Hongmao introduced them one by one.

"...The purpose of our county school is not to make you famous or to get promoted. Rather, it is to make you behave and do things with dignity, to experience life in the county school, to explore the sea of ​​knowledge, and to find the direction and fun of life."

He changed the subject and said with a smile: "Of course, if you want to give back to your parents and the county after you finish your studies, that's fine too."

The students smiled when they heard this, and then burst into applause.

Tongan County School is very different from all the academies they have visited before, and they are looking forward to their future study career.

Li Hongmao was not very good at speaking, and he had already thought of what to say today.

Now that he had said what he needed to say, since they were all children from his own county, he did not want to be too hypocritical, so he said directly:

"Tong'an County School officially opens today! Welcome everyone!"

School officially starts!

The students looked at each other, took the bundles of tuition that had been prepared long ago, and lined up to walk towards Li Hongmao.

"I am Zhang Yuanwei, the student. I am honored to meet Principal Li, Mr. Jin, Mr. Xiao, and Mr. He. This is my tuition fee. Principal Li and the other gentlemen, please do not despise it. Please accept it!"

"Ding--"

A familiar electronic sound rang in Shen Zheng's mind.
