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

Sure enough, the facts verified his guess.

Li Leyou looked at the money bag in his hand and said with a smile: "It's a good thing you came to find me, otherwise I would feel that I have a barrier with you if I was left behind in this matter. Wait for me, I will go and get the silver."

After she finished speaking, she walked towards the house with brisk steps.

Zhang Yuanwei looked at her back, smiled at the people around him, and said:

"Well, you still have to listen to me about this matter. Don't think that men and women are different. What we can do, they can do too. Some things are not gender-specific."

"Brother Zhang."

The people around him were unhappy.

"You make it sound like we look down on Li Leyou and isolate her. But we don't mean that."

"Yes, we just thought that she didn't get paid, and asking her to pay money always felt unfair to her. And she is a woman, and she can just choose a person to give to Lord Shen."

"What's wrong with the woman?"

Zhang Yuanwei was also unhappy.

He turned around and said seriously: "Don't always talk about men and women. We are just students."

He then asked: "You think that Li Leyou is a girl, and you are giving her a break by doing this, but do you know that sometimes, under the same conditions, preferential treatment based on gender is also a disguised form of inequality?"

“Disguised inequality?”

Some nodded in agreement, while others were puzzled.

Zhang Yuanwei did not force them to understand, but said: "You will know it later. The adults can be closer to Li Leyou because they are both girls. But in our eyes, Li Leyou is just a classmate!"

He spoke with such certainty that even those who were confused could not refute him.

After a moment, Li Leyou came out of the house with a bag of money.

She handed the purse directly to Zhang Yuanwei.

"Half a tael of silver is seventy coins. I've kept a few dozen coins for myself for emergencies. Don't think it's too little."

Zhang Yuanwei took the purse and put it into the big purse without even looking at it.

"What's less? We should do what we can. We are big guys, so we have more and less. If you didn't say you kept some for yourself, I would have to give some back to you."

Li Leyou laughed when he heard this.

"Have you decided what to buy for Lord Shen? Do you want me to give you some advice?"

These words really touched everyone's heart.

"Alas, I just haven't thought it through. If I give you money directly, you will definitely not want it. But the emperor gave you so many clothes and jewelry that day. How can our gift compare to that..."

I heard that the gifts from His Majesty were all gold, emerald and jade jewelry.

Zhang Yuanwei picked up the purse in his hand and took a look at it.

This purse looks huge, but actually... there's not much money in it.

Because most of them are copper coins.

All their silver combined could not even buy a piece of gold the size of a soybean.

Li Leyou was also in trouble.

"Gold, silver and jewelry are not lacking for you, sir. Rice, flour, grain and oil are not suitable as gifts. Books..."

But she rejected her idea after a moment, "Books certainly won't work either..."

"What should I give you..."

Li Leyou squatted down.

Everyone was infected by her and squatted under the eaves together.

Fang Ziyan was skipping by with Pei Zhaoqi in his hand. He saw them standing there in a daze and pointed his finger.

"What are you doing? In public, in the street, pooping..."

Pei Zhaoqi covered his mouth and said, "Don't talk nonsense."

When Zhang Yuanwei and his companions saw the two of them, they subconsciously wanted to escape.

Because they were the direct disciples of the headmaster and lived in the county government office, they always felt a little uncomfortable when they saw them...

"Wait a minute!"

Fang Ziyan opened his arms to stop them and asked, "You are sneaking around like that. You want to leave when you see Zhao Qi and I. Do you have bad intentions?"

"Bah, bah, bah, what are you talking about, sneaky and malicious!"

Zhang Yuanwei didn't leave after hearing this, and stared at Fang Ziyan.

Pei Zhaoqi stepped forward, blocked Fang Ziyan behind him, and said apologetically: "Brother Zhang, please forgive me, Ziyan is outspoken."

Zhang Yuanwei felt a little awkward after being apologized to by the "genius". He turned around and said, "It's nothing. You guys can leave now."

"I'm not leaving!" Fang Ziyan poked his head out from behind Pei Zhaoqi and said:

"If you don't tell me what you are doing, Zhao Qi and I won't leave!"

"Ziyan..."

Pei Zhaoqi felt helpless, but Fang Ziyan was much fatter than him and he couldn't pull him.

The two sides were in a stalemate when Li Leyou stood up.

She said bluntly, "It's nothing, actually. We just felt bad that the headmaster and the adults didn't accept the tuition money, so we thought of collecting the money and choosing a small gift for the adults."

Fang Ziyan stood there in a daze when he heard that.

Are they going to give gifts to adults?

Instead, Pei Zhaoqi frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said, "My Lord won't accept it."

"what--"

The students were hit hard again.

I haven't decided what to give yet, but the gift has already been rejected...

After Pei Zhaoqi finished speaking, he paced back and forth, whispering:

"Adults won't accept ordinary gifts. But if that gift is only for adults, if she doesn't accept it, then it's useless..."

Everyone's eyes lit up.

I have to say, the "genius" has a very smart brain!

"Then what do you think we should give, Mr. Pei?" Li Leyou asked.

Pei Zhaoqi looked at the purse in Zhang Yuanwei's hand and asked, "How much do you think this gift is worth?"

A hint of unnaturalness flashed across Zhang Yuanwei's face, and he handed the purse to him.

Pei Zhaoqi opened it and saw strings of copper coins mixed with a little silver.

Fang Ziyan came closer out of curiosity, and after seeing clearly, his face wrinkled into a bitter melon.

That's all? A gift?

But he didn't say it out loud, because Zhao Qi had told him never to laugh at others' poverty.

Pei Zhaoqi had a plan in mind, and asked Zhang Yuanwei: "Brother Zhang, can Ziyan and I join you? To be honest, I have never given you a gift..."

To say that I have never sent it is not entirely true.

Basically, it was his mother who asked him to bring some vegetables and food to the county government office. This... shouldn't be considered a gift, right?

"of course can!"

Zhang Yuanwei speaks faster than his brain.

After he said that, he felt a little regretful and glanced at Fang Ziyan.

With this little bully here, I wonder if their gift delivery will go smoothly this time.

Pei Zhaoqi smiled at him and said to Fang Ziyan: "Ziyan will not despise the gifts we give him, nor will he make trouble. He will even help us, right?"

Fang Ziyan didn't understand why, but he still pecked at the rice.

"Zhao Qi is right, I can help!"

Time passed quietly, more and more people squatted on the steps, and the relationship among them became more and more harmonious.

In particular, their views on Pei Zhaoqi and Fang Ziyan were also quietly changing...

Until the teacher's lecture time came, everyone walked towards the study hall chatting and laughing.

They already had a general idea of ​​what the gift would be this time.

This gift, perhaps... really requires Fang Ziyan's help.
