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

It was Shen Zheng behind him.

Bale Zhan really didn't know what expression to use to face her now, so he could only raise his sleeve to wipe away his tears, and said with his back to her: "Master Shen, congratulations."

"How can you congratulate someone with your back turned?" Shen Zheng walked over and stood in front of him. "If you do this, I will think that you are not sincerely congratulating me."

There were still tears in the corners of his eyes, but Shen Zheng ignored them and asked him with a smile: "When did you come? Why didn't you come to the front? The county residents were going crazy just now, and they didn't bump into you, did they?"

Bale Zhan didn't understand why she was like this, so he forced a smile and said, "No, I came late, so I thought I wouldn't disturb you from unveiling the plaque, so I just watched from a distance."

He looked up at the golden plaque under the eaves and said solemnly, "Sir Shen, I sincerely congratulate you. It is the highest honor to have your handwritten letter. It is a blessing for Tongan County, Liuyang Prefecture, and even the Great Zhou to have you."

"I noticed it." Shen Zheng pointed at the corner of his eyes: "You are so happy that you are crying."

"......Yes." Balezhan really couldn't understand Shen Zheng today, and didn't understand the intention of her words at all.

Was it a tease? Was it a mockery? Or was it because she was concerned about his reputation and deliberately not mentioning it?

He didn't know, and he didn't have the energy to guess.

He just wanted to go back to his home in Quanyang County, pull up the quilt, cover his head with sleep, and even didn't want to have dinner. It would be best if he could sleep until tomorrow morning.

"Sir Shen, I remember that there are some important matters that have not been dealt with in the yamen, so... I will take my leave first." He nodded and was about to turn around and leave with Ning Zhubu.

"Master Ba." Shen Zheng took a slight step and asked, "This official and the Lord Bo and others want to go to Xiahe Village to see the wharf survey and stone mountain mining. Are you interested in going with us?"

"What?" Bale Zhan pointed at himself and asked, "Can I go?"

"What are you talking about?"

Shen Zheng was wearing a brand new official robe today, which was exactly the same as what he was wearing, but when they stood together, they looked like superiors and subordinates.

"Our two counties are so close, and the Chamber of Commerce in this county has a lot of exchanges with the Fang family. Our county offices should also visit each other."

It would be fine if the Fang family was not mentioned, but as soon as the Fang family was mentioned, Ba Lezhan felt bitter in his mouth.

A short pain is worse than a long one, and a blunt knife cannot cut through the Gordian knot!

His eyes were filled with pain, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Sir Shen, regarding the Fang family's affairs... I will not stop you from doing anything. Please ask him to come to the county government office soon and do what needs to be done..."

"I want the Fang family to go to your county office to do business?" Shen Zheng paused for a moment, pretending to be puzzled: "Are you referring to Mr. Fang wanting to come to Tong'an County to do business?"

She deliberately spoke in a tactful way so that Balezhan would feel that he could save face to some extent.

Isn't it? Ning Zhubu looked at his master and felt aggrieved.

This feeling is like your lover is snatched away by your neighbor's brother. You dare not resist but have to force a smile and wish him a long life together.

It's so pathetic.

"That's right..." Ba Lezhan forced a smile, "Mr. Fang has a talent for business. If he comes to your county to do business, his future achievements will definitely be higher than they are now."

Shen Zheng looked at Ba Lezhan who was about to break, pretending to be helpless and said: "But what do you say we should do? This official has reached an agreement with Mr. Fang, an agreement that he can stay in Quanyang County, and can also come to Tongan County to do business and use the Tongan County wharf."

"what did you say?!"

Ba Lezhan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he stepped forward, grabbed her arm and said, "You mean, you didn't agree to the Fang family moving their entire household?"

Shen Zheng pulled out his sleeves and said with a smile: "Why should I agree? It won't do much for Tong'an County, but the people of Quanyang still need to eat. I can't just watch them starve."

In Balezhan's eyes, Shen Zheng was surrounded by a strong light, and even a circle of dazzling halo appeared around her, which was eye-catching.

Bale Zhan was ecstatic! The rumors in Tongan County were true! Really, really, really true!

"Lord Shen!" He opened his arms and stepped forward like a wolf or a tiger.

Shen Zheng staggered back two steps in shock, raised her hand to stop him, and said, "Master Ba, just talk, don't come forward! I would feel very strange if you hug me! My county residents will not let you go!"

Balezhan turned around and saw that they had been surrounded by the people of Tongan County in three layers without knowing when.

The county residents were eyeing him covetously and were ready to fight him, as if they would rush forward and fight him to the death if he dared to touch Shen Zheng.

He withdrew his hand awkwardly, but the excitement on his face did not fade at all.

"Sir Shen! You are simply the goddess who saviors the world. From now on, this official, no! I, Xiaoba! will follow your lead!"

The county residents were stunned. Shen Zheng rubbed his arms fiercely, "Can you please be more normal? If this is reported back to your county, what will your county residents think?"

"Mind them!" Balezhan waved his hand and moved forward to give Shen Zheng a shoulder massage.

Ning Zhubu couldn't bear to look directly at it, and moved his feet lightly and whispered: "Sir Shen, the people of Quanyang County have long wanted to move their families to your Tong'an County. You don't know that now young people of marriageable age in your county have become popular, especially girls! The men of Quanyang County all want to marry into your family..."

"Uh..." Shen Zheng scratched his head, "I have never heard of this before, but marriage is best when both parties are in love. I will not interfere with other matters."

Looking at Ning Zhubu who was trying every possible way to flatter him, Balezhan felt that his own position was worrying.

He pushed Ning Zhubu away with his butt and put his big face in front of Shen Zheng.

"Sir Shen, aren't we going to Xiahe Village? When do we set off? I've heard that a magical stone was found in your county, which can burn when it touches water, so I've wanted to come and see it for a long time, but I was afraid to bother you. Oh, who would have thought that I would have the opportunity today."

Ning Zhubu was not in a hurry even though his position was taken away by him, because... he was a head taller than Ba ​​Lezhan.

He stood directly behind Ba Lezhan, using his height advantage to show his face and said, "Sir Shen, you also know that Quanyang County has never been near a river. So I really want to go and see the wharf survey in your county."

"Sure, sure." Shen Zheng smiled. "Where is your carriage? Let's set off immediately."

The two of them almost rushed to get on the carriage.

......

Inside the carriage, Ba Lezhan rubbed his stiff cheeks and sighed, "Today is like a dream. Not only did I see His Majesty's handwriting, but Lord Shen also took the initiative to invite me."

As he was talking, the muscles on his face tensed up uncontrollably again, "Hehe——"

"No, I'm so happy today that I can't control my face..."

His mouth was sour that he kept drooling, and he murmured to himself: "Hehe - Lord Shen is trying to help us, we must work hard in the future and strive to go hand in hand with Lord Shen!"

Before Ning Zhubu could say anything, he lifted the curtain and raised his chin like someone with ADHD and said, "Who is in the carriage in front? When the young woman got on the carriage just now, she gave me a look. Did I provoke her?"
