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

Fang Hengyuan's mood today can be described as ups and downs.

After the doctor was dragged away, he covered his chest and cursed for a long time: "He has no medical ethics, no medical ethics! How can such a doctor still exist in the world! It's my fault that my business is small and I don't have a clinic. If I had one! How could you and I, the master, fall to being played around by him like this!"

Fang Wenxiu wanted to laugh but didn't dare to, so he comforted her, "My son told you before, he's fine."

Fang Hengyuan sat back in his chair, panting and analyzing, "So right now, it's a foregone conclusion that Tongan County and the Mo family are enemies."

Seeing that he finally thought of this, Fang Wenxiu breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's exactly what my son meant. We can only choose one side between Tong'an County and the Mo family. We must not waver."

He looked towards the direction of Tongan County and said, "Father, do you think we can choose the Mo family?"

"Of course not." Fang Hengyuan has been doing business for many years after all. On one side is an official with a promising future, and on the other side is a "dandy boy" with an unknown background. It is obvious who to choose.

Putting aside the question of whether he is an official or not, just looking at it from an outsider's perspective, he also looks down on the Mo family's young master's bad behavior of "forcing a good woman into prostitution."

Relying on his family background and some money, he forced the entire family to Tongan County, and they couldn't even go home!

What's more, he and Mr. Fan are both men! It's not shameful!

And the head of the Mo family is also like this, actually condoning the evil deeds of his own young people! It is so abominable!

But Fang Hengyuan always felt that something was wrong.

He frowned, hissed, and slapped his forehead after a moment.

"That's not right. We have to cut off our relationship with the Mo family. It is inevitable that we will suffer some damage, but it won't cause our Fang family to fail. So I won't mention these for now."

Which businessman doesn't curry favor with the powerful? But Fang Hengyuan asked himself, he still has principles and bottom line.

Moreover, the Mo family was so indulgent to their younger generations, he felt that the Mo family’s good days might be coming to an end.

Take his Fang family for example. Even though his youngest son Fang Ziyan is naughty and ignorant, he would never dare to and is not allowed to do anything that is against the will of heaven and earth.

Therefore, the worst outcome for Fang Ziyan in the future is just to become a rich and lonely man. After all, he has an older brother who can support him even if the sky falls.

But the Mo family is different. I heard that in this generation of the Mo family, there are only two direct descendants, Miss Mo and Mr. Mo. Mr. Mo is a bad person from the root, and the Mo family is not much different.

Fang Hengyuan agreed and even supported no longer having business dealings with the Mo family, but...

"But why do we have to move our family to Tong'an County? Can't we still express our feelings to Lord Shen in Quanyang County? Do we have to move there?"

Fang Wenxiu actually couldn't explain why.

He pondered for a moment and said, "Father, I can't really explain why, but I feel that since we have to express our stance this time, we might as well get it done right the first time. I always feel that if we don't seize this opportunity, we will drift further and further away from Tongan County and Lord Shen in the future..."

He called this feeling "the intuition of business genius", and this "intuition" saved him countless times in the past.

But Fang Hengyuan didn't quite believe these so-called "intuitions". "But didn't Lady Shen promise you before that she would consider the cotton cloth business..."

"Just considering it." Fang Wenxiu frowned.

"What do you mean by 'just considering it'?" Fang Hengyuan disagreed with him, "Is this your first time dealing with officials like them? They can say such things, don't you understand the meaning behind them?"

Fang Wenxiu sighed in his heart, of course he understood.

He knew that he had visited Lord Shen many times before to curry favor and had sent his younger brother Fang Ziyan to Lord Shen. No matter what, Lord Shen would always give him some soup in the future.

Can......

Maybe he was greedy and didn't want to just drink this little soup.

From the beginning to the end, he wanted to expand the Fang family business to Quanyang County, and even to Liuyang Prefecture and Shangjing City.

And Lord Shen of Tongan County is definitely an excellent guide and the person he dreams of following.

He really didn't want to miss this opportunity.

"Father... please think about it again."

Fang Hengyuan sighed, and without saying whether he would agree or not, he just asked him, "What should we do with Magistrate Ba? Our Fang family is a major taxpayer in Quanyang County. Can he let us go so easily?"

"......" Fang Wenxiu thought that Balezhan was also a little discouraged, so he stopped talking.

At this moment, a servant hurriedly ran in from outside the hall, his face full of anxiety and shock, "Master! Master! There is news from Tongan County!"

The father and son looked at each other and thought something was not good.

Fang Hengyuan was the first to ask, "Did someone from the Mo family cause trouble?"

"The Mo family?" The servant was stunned and shook his head violently, "It's not the Mo family, it's Tongan County. It seems, it seems that they are going to build a wharf!"

"What!" The father and son stood up at the same time. Fang Wenxiu stepped forward and grabbed the boy's shoulder, asking anxiously, "When did the news come from? Where did it come from?"

The servant's shoulder was so painful from being grabbed by him that he grimaced and said, "The news just came this morning. Lord Shen sent someone to the kiln to find the kiln-building master, and the person who came revealed it. It was said that yesterday, the master of the Canal Transport Bureau went to Xiahe Village specifically and said that they would build a wharf there!"

"Sir from the Ministry of Transport..."

Fang Wenxiu murmured, "Do you know which master it is? Is he from Liuyang Mansion?"

As soon as he said this, he denied his own statement, "No, the cargo terminal in Liuyang Prefecture belongs to the Mo family... The Canal Transport Bureau has no office in Liuyang Prefecture..."

Fang Wenxiu scratched his head in annoyance and cursed in a low voice: "Mo family, Mo family, the Mo family again, they are everywhere!"

As much as he loved the Mo family before, he now hates them as much.

Fang Hengyuan also knew that this matter was not simple, and his face was full of solemnity, but he didn't know what to think for a moment, so he could only ask: "Why is Lord Shen looking for a kiln builder?"

"Hmm..." The servant thought for a moment, "I heard that a kind of stone was found in Tongan County. After being calcined, the stone is very useful. But the people in Tongan County are very secretive and don't want to say it. I asked them many times, but they just said that we will know it later."

"A very useful stone..." Fang Hengyuan murmured, "Could it be ore? I wonder what kind of ore it is? Iron ore is unlikely, could it be... copper ore?!"

"How is that possible?" Fang Wenxiu immediately rejected his idea: "If it is a copper mine or a gold mine, I'm afraid even Lord Shen can't hold it..."

No!

Fang Wenxiu asked the servant, "Master kiln builder, have you been to Tong'an County?"
