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

In terms of skills, Shen Zheng is certainly not as good as them, and she doesn't know any techniques for chiseling the shore.

But she knew one thing - when working in dangerous areas, protective measures must be taken. You only have one life, and don't gamble with it easily under any circumstances.

Even if you win the bet, you will only get people to say "good" or "excellent skills".

But if you lose the bet, you lose your life and your family’s tears and regrets.

You will know which is more important if you think about it.

But some people just can't figure out such a clear truth. It's not because they are stupid or arrogant, but when the probability of an event happening is small, people will subconsciously think that "low probability" means "will not happen."

Just like now - the thin craftsman's lips were blackened by the river wind, but he was in great spirits.

"Lord Shen! Just wait and see!" As soon as he finished speaking, he walked towards the river bank with his head held high, as if he was eager to prove his talent to Shen Zheng.

In the eyes of outsiders, they work for the Caoyun Company, which sounds like a job that pays the government, but only they themselves know the hardships involved.

Not only do they have no official position, but their wages are not paid monthly like the salaries of officials - their wages are paid annually. If the Grain Transport Department is busy during the New Year, there is a high possibility that their wages will be delayed until the next year.

But that's New Year's money! Who doesn't look forward to taking money home during the New Year, hearing their children say "Dad and Mom are great", and hearing their family members say "It's great to have you"?

After a whole year away, you return home penniless. Only you know how it feels.

They had heard that even ordinary people in Tongan County who worked for the county received monthly wages, and sometimes even daily wages, and meals were provided! This sounded much better than their "public food".

You can say they are wishful thinking or they are daydreaming.

In a word, if they can win the favor of Lord Shen and stay in Tongan County as a permanent craftsman, then...

Then why are you still working in the Caoyun Department? A good bird chooses a tree to inhabit, and a good craftsman chooses a master to work for. This is the basis of survival!

As he got closer and closer to the river bank, the river wind blew his clothes, which were not thick to begin with, tight against his body, and he seemed to be even colder than before.

Two steps forward, it was the place where Shen Zheng didn't dare to step. Shen Zheng gritted her teeth and said, "No!"

"I hope Lord Shen will give me a chance!" he said without turning his head.

Shen Zheng didn't understand. She didn't understand what opportunity she should give him. If it was just a chance to prove his ability, she would find it difficult to accept.

Just as she had thought just now, what's the point of doing this if it's just to get a compliment from others?

There were still two steps to go, and the craftsman was not a reckless person. He first tested the river bank twice with his toes, and then observed from the side. Only after he felt that it was feasible did he take a step.

Shen Zheng didn't dare to go forward and pull him rashly. Even the craftsman who worked with him was a little hesitant and did not move.

The reason is simple. The sand on that river bank is already shaky. It might be possible to support one person, but if one more person comes on...

"Master Shen, look!"

Under Shen Zheng's disapproving gaze, the craftsman stood at the very edge of the river bank. The sand seemed unable to support his weight and some sand and gravel began to fall into the river.

Shen Zheng stared at the sand under his feet. She hoped it was just her illusion, but the fact was that in just a moment, the amount of loosened and fallen sand was more than before.

"That's enough!" she shouted at the craftsman. "Whatever you want to prove, go back first--"

"Not good!" Shen Zheng was interrupted by Fang Wenxiu's exclamation before she could finish her words.

The sand under the craftsman's feet was no longer falling into the river in dots, but like a landslide, it went down a large inch in an instant. In this way, if the craftsman's toes moved forward half an inch, they would reach the river!

"Come back!" Fang Wenxiu's face also became serious and he shouted at him.

The craftsman seemed frightened and was stunned for a moment before responding.

His first reaction was not to walk back, but to look down. Under his feet was a raging river, with waves crashing and circles of white bubbles floating on the river surface, making people feel dizzy.

"What are you standing there for!" Shen Zheng shouted, "Come back quickly!"

She was a little angry and even wanted to ask Wang Ruqian to take the person away when he came back.

If something really happened to someone who didn't care about her own life in Tongan County, she really couldn't take the responsibility.

The craftsman didn't expect that, but in the moment he was stunned, the collapsed area had already reached his feet. He could even feel the soil under his feet loosening and collapsing.

If he made any more movements at this moment, such as lifting one leg and letting the weight of his entire body rest on one leg, the sand and rocks under his feet would probably collapse even faster!

How to do?How to do?

Only then did he realize the seriousness of the situation. He seemed to have... really done something extremely stupid.

Just when he was in despair, Shen Zheng quickly looked back, then quickly stepped forward and picked up a measuring log on the ground.

The wooden baby's arms were as thick as a stick and about six feet long, and it was solid from head to toe. Even Shen Zheng didn't know where she got so much strength from.

Fang Wenxiu saw through her intention at a glance and took the log directly, "I have long hands and feet, come down!"

He held one end of the log firmly and stretched it out quickly. The craftsmen did not dare to delay any longer and grabbed the other end of the log. Several other craftsmen woke up as if from a dream and hurried forward to help.

Their movements seemed big, but in fact they were very careful every time they exerted force with their feet, for fear of using too much force and affecting the sand under the man's feet.

"One, two! Push harder!"

Fang Wenxiu shouted, and everything happened in a flash.

He and several craftsmen suddenly exerted their strength, pulled the man back, and then they all fell to the ground.

Before they could even catch their breath, the sand suddenly collapsed and disappeared in the rushing river, as if the shore had been like this before and had never changed.

Compared with nature, life is too insignificant.

Shen Zheng looked unhappy, and said to the craftsmen, "Stop working for the next two days. As for the rest, we will discuss it with Lord Wang after he comes back."

She didn't want to say anything more, so she turned and left.

The craftsmen who had just participated in the rescue were already frightened, and they regretted it even more after hearing these words.

Why didn't they stop Chen Feng at the beginning? They were just blinded by greed!

"Chen Feng!" They all looked at the instigator and started to curse, "It's all your fault. You insisted on taking advantage of the opportunity! Now, not only did you almost lose your life, but now you've also lost your brothers' lives! Will you pay my parents the money they owe me this year?"

Chen Feng was lying on the ground gasping for breath. He couldn't even tell whether he was colder on his body or on the cold wind whistling across his face.
