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

Tongan County Government Office, study.

Shen Zheng couldn't sit still since he had nothing to do, so he took out a pen and paper to make plans for the county in the new year.

Making colored glaze is the most urgent, but not the most important. Right now the most important things in the county are still the cloth workshop and the printing workshop.

"Once Wei Que and Wang Guangjin bring back the cotton, the cloth shop will start production right away. As for the finished cotton cloth..." Shen Zheng bit the tip of her pen, "First, take Tongan County as the center and spread it around. Then let Wang Guangjin go out and sell it and open the shop."

There are also some things to pay attention to when opening a shop. Even if the products are good, some "management" is still necessary during the process of doing business.

Shen Zheng didn't want to encourage this evil trend, as for how to deal with it...

The person above can't just take the share of the profits without doing anything practical, right?

"Then there's the Yinfang." Shen Zheng picked up the pen and wrote the two big characters "Yinfang". "The paper and ink will go the way of the fifth family, but we also have to understand the market price first. We still have to compare the prices if we should."

It's not that she doesn't trust Diwu Tanwei, but the cloth shop is not her private property. The decision she makes for the cloth shop must be convincing.

"There is also a clinic." Shen Zheng squeezed her eyes through the small gap in the window and looked at the blue sky outside. "I don't know how Doctor Li is doing. Can he make Tongan Clinic famous? If he can, the clinic will start to 'open branches' to benefit the people."

Although she never said it out loud, she was always looking forward to Li Shiyuan's next letter. It would be best if she could become famous, but ensuring her personal safety was the prerequisite for everything.

As for transporting the finished cotton cloth and books to distant places, it is definitely inseparable from the wharf. When Wei Que comes back, I have to ask him to pay more attention to the construction of the wharf, to recruit people and purchase materials when needed.

After listing the above things, Shen Zheng's last consideration was glass and steelmaking.

Steelmaking and ironmaking are extremely important to the entire Great Zhou, but she never thought of doing it all by herself. Her original intention was to hand over the quenching method to the Salt and Iron Bureau and the Ministry of Works after the experiment was successful.

She understands the principle of biting off more than you can chew, and she even feels that she is a little greedy now.

After arranging various businesses, Shen Zheng turned his attention back to the county.

If you want to get points, you have to build infrastructure. The industrial, agricultural and transportation industries are gradually being improved. In the new year, the county will focus on infrastructure and education.

This education does not only refer to running county schools and teaching students, but also to researching new things and even making the students of county schools famous.

"Knock knock knock--" Just as Shen Zheng was thinking hard, there was a knock on the door, and Fang Ziyan's voice came through the door: "Sir Shen, my brother is here, can we come in?"

Shen Zheng put down the paper and pen, and was about to speak when she heard Fang Wenxiu outside the door say, "Why are you following me, kid? Your elder brother has important matters to discuss with Lord Shen today, so don't mess around. Go play with your classmates!"

Then came Fang Ziyan's unconvinced voice: "I will leave only if Lord Shen tells me to!"

The implication is - who are you as a big brother!

Shen Zheng chuckled, put away the "New Year's Plan for Tong'an County", and called out, "Come in, it's not a big deal."

"Hmph..." Fang Ziyan pushed the door open, unable to hide the smugness on his face.

Fang Wenxiu followed closely behind him. As soon as he entered the door, he bowed with a smile on his face: "I heard that you have just returned from a long journey. I am grateful for your concern. I wish you a happy new year in advance! I hope that Tongan County, this paradise on earth, will soar to the sky in the new year, attract talents from all over the world, and the people will live and work in peace and contentment!"

Shen Zheng said that when it comes to polite words, it still depends on Fang Wenxiu.

"Master Fang, please take a seat."

Fang Wenxiu was actually very anxious, but he didn't dare to show it on his face. After all, Lord Shen was willing to find him, which meant that he looked up to him. Lord Shen could ask, but he couldn't.

When Fang Ziyan obviously didn't understand his eldest brother's thoughts, he asked Shen Zheng impatiently as soon as his butt touched the stool: "Shen Sir, is there something you want to call my eldest brother for? Actually, you also know... I still have some status in the Fang family... If you don't want to see my eldest brother, tell me... It's the same thing."

After saying that, he winked at Shen Zheng.

Good guy!

Fang Wenxiu's eyes widened when he heard this.

This is an attempt to "seize power and usurp the throne"!

Shen Zheng looked at Fang Ziyan who was deliberately playing tricks to make her happy, and chuckled: "So, didn't this mean that I asked you to come in and listen together?"

Fang Wenxiu glared again.

Lord Shen supports Fang Ziyan's attempt to "seize power and usurp the throne"!

No, he had to take back the initiative!

"Master Shen!" He elbowed Fang Ziyan aside and asked, "Why did you call me down here?"

Fang Ziyan covered his arms and wailed. Shen Zheng smiled, picked up the cloth bag on the table and handed it to Fang Wenxiu.

"What is this...?" Fang Wenxiu took the cloth bag and opened it carefully.

It's a stone.

It is an ordinary-looking stone.

It is an ordinary yet somewhat strange looking stone.

He felt as if he had seen this kind of stone somewhere, perhaps while traveling for business, perhaps while touring the mountains, or perhaps... he couldn't remember.

"This stone is called feldspar." Shen Zheng said directly, "It is a mineral resource in Baiyun County. This time I went out to buy this stone from Lord Yin of Baiyun County."

"Purchasing it specially?" Fang Wenxiu moved closer to take a closer look.

The item that Lord Shen went out to purchase personally must not be an ordinary item, but... he looked left and right, up and down, but could not see what was special about this piece of ore?

The first rule of survival: If you want to please others, you must "ask if you don't understand."

It seems like asking for advice, but in fact it is a compliment. No one will dislike this.

He put away his expression and said seriously, "I am stupid and can't see what's so special about this stone. I hope Lord Shen can enlighten me!"

But Shen Zheng never thought of letting Fang Wenxiu find out.

She also picked up a piece of feldspar and said seriously: "In the past, the role of feldspar has not been discovered, so people have always believed that it is just a useless ore. But in fact, this stone is very useful in the calcination of porcelain."

"Porcelain!" Fang Wenxiu couldn't help but flatter him at this moment. He swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth and turned around and said, "You must have discovered the use of this stone. You are really amazing. I admire you!"

"......" Shen Zheng shook her head: "It's not me."

Without waiting for Fang Wenxiu to respond, she continued, "Adding this stone when firing porcelain will not only make the porcelain more delicate and easier to shape, but also make it harder and less likely to break."

"!!! I'll buy it!" Fang Wenxiu never thought that Shen Zheng would lie to him. Instead, he hugged the feldspar on the table and said, "I'll buy it! I'll buy it no matter how expensive it is!"

He is a businessman. If you ask a businessman what he sees?

Many people would say - it depends on the quality and height of the object.

He just shook his head when he heard it.
