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

She said, "No need to wait until later."

Pei Zhaoqi looked up at her. He didn't know what the county magistrate meant.

Shen Zheng smiled and looked at him: "If I open a private school in the county, and the tuition is waived, would you be willing to come and study?"

Pei Zhaoqi was confused by this question. You know, the most expensive thing for studying is the tuition, and he dropped out of the academy because he couldn't afford the tuition. Now someone told him that he didn't need to pay the tuition to study?

He secretly reached out and pinched his thigh, wondering if he was dreaming.

Shen Zheng laughed at his little action: "In the beginning, our private school may only have one teacher, and he is just a scholar."

She had thought about whether she could teach in a private school when she was free, but she and the original owner were still two people after all. Although those memories of studying were in her mind, their spirits and ways of thinking were independent after all.

Although her mind was filled with the same content, she could not guarantee that she could match the original owner in the scientific examination. If her ideas misled the students, wouldn't that be truly misleading them?

When Pei Zhaoqi heard her say that there was only one scholar, he did not feel disgusted at all. He thought that having books to read was already very good for him.

He bowed to Shen Zheng and said gratefully: "I am willing to study in the private school. I hope you will accept me."

Before Shen Zheng could answer, Fang Ziyan on the side shouted again: "Private school! And the teacher of the scholar, Pei Zhaoqi, are you crazy? Do you still want to pass the provincial examination?"

Pei Zhaoqi ignored him. As long as he had books to read, it didn't matter to him where he was.

Seeing Pei Zhaoqi ignoring him, Fang Ziyan became anxious and said, "If you ask me for help, I can be merciful and give you the tuition for the academy!"

After hearing this, Shen Zheng turned around and looked over. This little fat boy was quite interesting. He wanted to smash other people's stalls one moment, and was eager to pay the money the next moment.

Pei Zhaoqi refused in a cold tone: "No need, Master Fang, just take care of yourself."

As soon as these words were spoken, Fang Ziyan remembered his current situation. His face instantly fell and he wished he could slap himself twice.

I was about to go to jail, why was I still thinking about Pei Zhaoqi! What was even more abominable was that he actually rejected me!

"I'm just teasing you." Fang Ziyan raised his head and tried to make amends for himself.

Shen Zheng smiled softly, picked up the bean soup bowl and drank it all, then stood up and asked Pei Zhaoqi:

"The private school is temporarily set up in the county government office. The teacher there has been quite busy these days, but there are also many books in the government office. If you are willing, we can go back today. You can stay in the county government office first, with food and lodging provided, and you can help me look after this fat boy."

Pei Zhaoqi did not agree to her immediately, but turned to look at Pei's mother.

Mother Pei smiled at him warmly and said, "It is my son's blessing to be able to study with the county magistrate. Go ahead."

Pei Zhaoqi also showed a smile on his face. He bowed to Pei's mother and said, "Thank you, mother. I will come back when I have time."

He really wanted to study. In the past, when he was in the academy, he studied while copying books for others to collect tuition fees. He didn't have much time to read. Now that he was in the county government, he could use all his time to read.

......

Quanyang County.

"Knock knock knock! Knock knock knock!" There was a series of rapid knocks on the door of Fang Mansion.

The young man outside the door looked anxious and almost cried: "Open the door! Open the door quickly, something big has happened!"

This man was the young man who went to Pei's stall with Fang Ziyan to cause trouble today. Fang Ziyan was caught, and he ran back alone, scared to death.

The servant of Fang's mansion quickly opened the door, and when he saw that he was the only one at the door, he couldn't help but feel nervous.

The servant asked, "Master He, why are you alone? Where is my young master?"

When Master He was asked this question, he burst into tears: "Fang Ziyan has been arrested! Wuuuu, go save him!"

When the servant heard his words, his knees went weak and he almost fell down. Before the master left for a long journey, he had instructed them not to let the young master go out, but how could they stop that devil? Today, he ran away in a short time!

The master loves the young master the most. If anything happens to the young master, none of them can escape!

At this time, the servant was also panicked, and hurriedly took Young Master He and ran to find Fang family's eldest son Fang Wenxiu.

Fang Wen was checking the Fang family's account books for the past few months in the study when he was interrupted by the noisy sound outside the door. He had no choice but to put the account books down and go out.

His servant came jogging over and bumped into him head-on.

The servant looked anxious: "Master, something happened!"

Fang Wenxiu stumbled when the servant bumped into him. He was a little unhappy. He had been following him for so long, but he still couldn't learn to be steady. He frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"

"The young master of the He family came to report that the young master was arrested!"

Although Fang Wenxiu usually didn't think much of his younger brother, he was still a little panicked at this time: "Who is so bold as to arrest our Fang family's young master?"

The servant recalled what the young master of the He family had said just now, and repeated it: "Young master He said that they went to Tongan County to visit their classmates from the academy today, but who knew that the woman they met turned out to be the county magistrate of Tongan County. After knowing that the young master was our young master, she arrested him without any explanation and told us to take money to the Tongan County government office to redeem him!"

After hearing this, Fang Wenxiu remained silent, thinking about the truth of this passage, but he felt something was not right no matter how much he thought about it.

Firstly, he knew clearly that there were no students in the academy that Fang Ziyan could play well with. He was arrogant all day long, looking down on this one today and that one tomorrow. In the whole academy, only the kid from the He family was willing to play with him, and not sincerely.

Secondly, how could a county magistrate detain someone without any explanation? After all, he was a seventh-rank official appointed by the imperial court.

He stepped forward and asked, "Where is that kid from the He family?"

The servant quickly followed him and replied, "Master He is waiting in the hall."

Master He, who was sitting in the living room of the Fang family, stood up quickly when he saw Fang Wenxiu coming. He was usually very afraid of Fang Ziyan's brother. He felt that his eyes were scary, as if he could stare through people.

If it was the master of the Fang family who was at home today, he would not be so scared.

He called out softly, "Brother Fang."

Fang Wenxiu glanced at him with an unreadable expression, and just asked him to sit down and talk.

Young Master He slowly sat down again, but he only dared to put the tip of his butt on the chair.

Fang Wenxiu looked straight into Master He's eyes with sharp eyes. He asked, "Today you and Fang Ziyan went to Tong'an County to visit classmates? Which classmates?"

When Master He heard his question, he quickly stood up and answered. He avoided his gaze and stuttered, "Pei Zhaoqi from Tongan County, his family has set up a stall in Tongan County, and Ziyan and I want to... think about taking care of his business."

Fang Wenxiu sneered after hearing his reply. Could Fang Ziyan go out of his way to take care of other people's business?
