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

They all agreed that Lord Shen wanted to give them the rice seedlings directly, but was unwilling to express it directly.

Shen Zheng also made detailed arrangements for them. Tomorrow the county government will officially start distributing food coupons, starting with Shanghe Village on the first day, and the following villages will be distributed similarly. The county residents in the town have slightly better living conditions, and they will come on the last day of each round.

After the arrangements were made, without waiting for her to say anything, several village heads became so anxious that they couldn't sit still for a moment and stood up to say goodbye.

They kept this great news in their hearts and couldn't sit still. They wished they could grow eight legs and rush back to the village!

The nearest village to the county government office was Nanba Village where Zhou Lizheng lived. He drove the ox cart instead of the horse carriage and returned home in a hurry.

He jumped off the cart swiftly, pushed open the door of his home and shouted, "Mother! Great news!"

Aunt Zhou was picking vegetables in the kitchen. She came out, wiped her hands on her clothes, and said with disdain, "What's the matter? Did you pick up a copper coin?"

Zhou Lizheng slapped his thigh, hurried forward to hold her, and said excitedly: "This is better news than picking up a copper coin!"

Better than picking up copper coins? Aunt Zhou was immediately interested when she heard it, and urged Zhou Lizheng to speak quickly!

Zhou Lizheng approached her mysteriously: "Food prices have dropped!"

"The price has dropped!" Aunt Zhou was delighted. This was indeed better news than picking up pennies. If the price dropped a lot, wouldn't that be equivalent to picking up pennies every day?

"How much has it dropped?" Aunt Zhou continued to ask.

Zhou Lizheng deliberately kept the question in suspense and raised one hand.

Aunt Zhou saw his slap and guessed, "Five cents? How many pounds are you going to reduce by five cents? If it's ten pounds, that's not bad."

It's no wonder Aunt Zhou thinks this way. The price of grain is rising every day. Now even if it drops by five cents per ten kilograms, it's great. She can buy more at one time and save money.

Zhou Lizheng shook his head after hearing her words: "Baby's mother, guess the worst."

At this time, Aunt Zhou lost her patience and slapped Zhou Lizheng: "Say it if you want! I'm not the only one starving!"

Zhou Lizheng suddenly lost his sense of achievement and had to tell her: "Rice has dropped by seven cents, corn by six cents, and old rice and white flour by five cents."

"What!!!" Aunt Zhou's voice was so penetrating that it scared the hens in the yard and made them jump around with a clucking sound.

At this moment, Zhou Lizheng's vanity was satisfied. He put his hands behind his back and looked at Aunt Zhou with an air of superiority.

"Are you having a fever? What nonsense are you talking about?" Aunt Zhou didn't believe it at all. She came forward and put the back of her hand on his forehead.

If she was told that the grain price had dropped by one or two cents, she would still believe it, but six or seven cents? Even a child wouldn't believe it!

Seeing that she didn't believe him, Zhou Lizheng had no choice but to pull her to sit down and told her everything that happened during his trip to the county government office today.

"Wow!" Aunt Zhou took a deep breath after hearing this. "According to what you said, it's not the grain store that lowered the price, it's the county government that helped us pay the money!"

Zhou Lizheng nodded and said, "That's right, but the county government doesn't have any money right now. The county magistrate only said that there will be money after the autumn harvest, and we will return it to the grain shop then."

Aunt Zhou was deeply moved: "We are lucky to have met such a good official like the county magistrate."

After she finished speaking, she knelt down in the direction of the county government office, muttering to herself, "May God bless the county magistrate to become a high-ranking official in the future."

Such scenes happened simultaneously in every corner of several villages in Tongan County. At this moment, the county residents felt from the bottom of their hearts that it was their blessing to meet Shen Zheng as the county magistrate.

"Ding, it is detected that the host controls the price of grain to benefit the people in the area, and an additional fifty prosperity points are awarded."

Shen Zheng, who was writing the notice, was shocked. Fifty points, the system was so generous this time.

By this calculation, she now has 92 points, which will be enough for her first redemption in a short time.

She would have to find some time to check the redemption mall, and when she had enough points she could exchange for something good.

If Tongan County wants to become rich, it is certainly not enough to rely solely on hybrid rice. In the classification of development potential, agriculture is the lowest.

No matter how developed the agriculture in your region or country is, without industry and trade, it will stagnate. If you want to get rich, you have to develop industry and manufacture finished products.

In the future, she plans to use other areas as raw material production bases for Tongan County. The profits they earn from processing the raw materials and then reselling them will be much higher than simply selling the raw materials.

This is why she only sold hybrid rice in the first year. One reason was that she really couldn't hold on to the rice seeds tightly, as she would be pressured by those above.

Another reason is that she will set her goals in other directions in the second year. As long as she doesn't want to lead, others can only follow her and eat soup.

Shen Zheng handed the written notice to Xiao Yuan, asking him to post it in the notice area in front of the county government office and explain it to the county residents.

Xiao Yuan had just been out for a quarter of an hour when the outside became bustling again.

The residents of the town had a lot of contact with the grain shop owner, Mr. Hu. After learning the content of the notice, they ran directly to the grain shop to find out what was going on.

It's not that they don't trust the county government, but that Manager Hu really deserves the title of "stingy".

When they arrived at the grain shop, they found that it was closed today, but there was a new sign at the door - "County government subsidized grain will go on sale tomorrow."

The night falls quietly, but no one in Tongan County can sleep tonight. They are all waiting for the rising sun tomorrow.

......

The next day, before dawn, the villagers of Shanghe Village got up early, because they had important things to do today!

Several families with ox carts waited in the dark at the entrance of the village, shouting, "Two coins per person, straight to the county government office!"

The anxious villager gritted his teeth, took out two cents and handed them to the old man driving the ox cart. He was still afraid that if he went too late, he would not be able to buy the subsidized grain!

In a short while, they had gathered a cart full of people, and everyone went to the county government office with excitement.

When the villagers of Shanghe Village passed by Nanba Village, they attracted the attention of the villagers of Nanba Village.

Some people looked at the villagers of Shanghe with envy and whispered, "I really envy the people of Shanghe Village. They received food on the first day, several days earlier than us."

The people around him disagreed, "What if you starve to death a few days later? We have survived all the hardships before. The county magistrate said that everyone can buy it. It doesn't matter if we wait a few days. Just wait patiently."

The people around him also thought that what this person said made sense and agreed with him.

The people of Shanghe Village walked in groups of two or three. They were talking and laughing, but their legs never stopped.

Wu Li was walking at the end of the team. The two people in front didn't notice him and started talking secretly.

"The head of the village said that each of us can buy one and a half kilograms of food every seven days. If I eat less and sell the remaining food, I can make a lot of money!"
