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

Changnan Prefecture.

More than a month has passed since Yu Jiusi first arrived in Changnan Prefecture.

As more and more people walked on the streets, the tension in people's hearts finally relaxed a little.

Yu Jiusi rode his horse through the main street of the city. The eyes of the people were almost glued to him, watching him all the way until he disappeared from their sight.

"The leader must be General Yu, right? He became a general at such a young age, he is really amazing!"

"That's right, General Yu! When he first came to the city, he was stopped by that dog official and was not allowed to enter. I was in the city at that time! You didn't see how handsome General Yu looked with his sword in one hand!"

"It is said that there were people making a fuss at the door and not letting General Yu in. I wonder if those people have the nerve to eat the food General Yu distributed now!"

"..."

The sound of wind whistled past Yu Jiusi's cheeks. As the number of people around him gradually decreased, he slowly slowed down.

A moment later, Team Leader C caught up. After the two horses got close, he praised: "Langjiang's riding skills are also unique. They are clearly horses selected from the same batch, but under Langjiang, they are different!"

"Stop flattering me." Yu Jiusi held the reins and looked ahead, saying, "Report what you should report. I still have work for you."

Captain C would never think that the work is too much. If you really want to talk about it in detail, these jobs are all opportunities for him to make merit and ways to get promoted. It is the path paved for him by Lang Jiang!

"General, the food sent from all over the country has been recorded and delivered to the surrounding disaster-stricken prefectures as per your instructions."

"The situation in those prefectures is better than that in Changnan Prefecture. Some of them were only slightly affected, and most of the counties can still be self-sufficient. So I followed your wishes and only sent food to the counties and villages that were most severely affected."

Apart from Changnan Prefecture, there were a total of four prefectures that reported suffering from floods. If there had not been an epidemic in Changnan Prefecture, Yu Jiusi should have gone there in person.

"Where is the river?" Yu Jiusi asked. "The disaster relief grain is limited and cannot sustain the entire winter. We can't let the people live off the land."

The winter in the eastern region is not long, and various crops can be planted earlier than in other regions. Therefore, as long as they can survive this winter, by the beginning of next spring, the people in Changnan Prefecture and its surrounding areas will be self-sufficient.

"It is now open for trade." Team Leader C replied in a very important tone, "The river in Luzhou Prefecture was the most seriously blocked. It was probably because Mr. Ning was imprisoned. The governor of Luzhou was also a little afraid of you. When I went there, he had already organized people to dredge the river."

He added in a low voice: "You don't know that you are now a living judge in the eyes of these prefects. They are all afraid that you will extend your pen to their respective prefectures."

Yu Jiusi raised his hand holding the horse's reins, which were cracked and full of gullies.

The hands of a military commander cannot be considered beautiful.

He chuckled, "This hand of mine doesn't look like the hand that holds a pen. They don't know that this 'Judge' is someone else."

Moreover, what the judge decides is not about right and wrong, justice and fairness.

Someone else?

Team Leader C scratched his head and wisely did not ask any more questions. He just said, "What do you want me to do, General?"

"Go spread the news along the way." Yu Jiusi's voice was mixed in with the clattering of horse hooves: "Say that several prefectures headed by Changnan Prefecture need a large amount of grain seeds, and we will accept all who come."

"We accept everyone who comes?" Team Leader C was stunned when he heard this, and asked hesitantly: "General, I have heard the news before that high-yield rice seeds have suddenly appeared in Liuyang Prefecture, so the price of grain seeds is low this year, and many grain merchants have no way to sell them. If we spread the news..."

Then those grain merchants are all rushing to sell grain seeds!

Yu Jiusi chuckled and asked him, "Do you think Changnan Prefecture today would think there are too many grain varieties?"

Team Leader C thought of the rice seeds that had long been eaten.

It can be said that in Changnan Prefecture today, more than 90% of the people have no grain at home, and they don’t know what to plant next spring!

Yu Jiusi added: "The grain seeds I want are not just rice seeds. Rice needs April or May to be planted, and the people can't wait that long. What we want are vegetable seeds and bean seeds that can be planted in February or March."

Team Leader C nodded in understanding.

Fortunately, his family makes a living by farming, and he can't see things through as well as this young man, Lang Jiang!

He understood and asked, "So you want to use the stolen silver to buy grain for the people?"

Yu Jiu thought about the large sum of money and finally shook his head: "I have no right to deal with that money. That's why I asked you to spread the news along the way. The grain can be put on hold. It is of utmost importance to attract more merchants to lower the price."

If there wasn't a Governor Lu above him who was eyeing him covetously, he might have really touched the money.

But now his words and actions might be seen by the other party.

The best way to deal with such a large sum of money is to hand it over to Your Majesty to handle it, so as to avoid being caught by the other party.

This time, Captain C understood everything. He patted his chest, making his armor clang. "Don't worry, General. This news... was released by the government office, but it wasn't released by the government office. I know the difference between the two."

"You are a teachable young man." Yu Jiusi gave him an appreciative look. "The merchants' grain is unsalable. Although the price is low when they sell it here, the quantity is large. They won't have to make a loss."

Upon hearing this, Team Leader C pursed his lips and muttered secretly: "So what if we lose money? Look at what those unscrupulous businessmen have done to the people!"

He hated those who did business the most. They were profit-seeking, selfish, and loved money like their lives. So what if they suffered a little?

Anyway, I won’t die!

Yu Jiusi shook his head helplessly.

The right and wrong of this matter cannot be explained in a few words.

"Someone will always find a way to balance the power between officials and businessmen and the people." He looked into the distance and waved to Team Leader C, "Go ahead and do it."

Team Leader C then realized that he had followed him all the way without knowing where he was going, and couldn't help asking, "What about you?"

Yu Jiusi let go of the reins and said, "I will go to look for Xue Mai."

When Team Leader C heard this, he was like a wild cat with its fur standing on end. He gritted his teeth and said, "That traitor! You still have to go find him yourself! If you want to see him, I will go and call him to come and see you."

If it weren't for the general's sharpness, he wouldn't know what happened to him because of that traitor!

Yu Jiusi frowned and looked at him, his face full of disapproval, "You are also a soldier, how serious the name of 'traitor' is, how can you not know? Don't talk nonsense in the future."

After being reprimanded by him, Team Leader C immediately retracted his sharp claws that were gleaming with cold light, and said aggrievedly: "I just think... his subordinates are traitors, and he probably is not much better. You should be careful when you meet him this time... or should I accompany you?"

"That's all nonsense!" Yu Jiusi's tone was even more serious than before. "It will only take a short while. Then you can go with me and take a good look to see if Xue Mai is what you think."
