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

In an age when people can hardly fill their stomachs, what do neighbors and friends ask first when they meet?

——Have you eaten?

How would people greet each other when smallpox was rampant? Or, how could people dare to go out and talk to others at this time?

Xingning Prefecture, which had been silent for quite some time, suddenly had some life in the past two days - people went out.

Although they still wore masks of different styles, they finally had the courage to step out of the house, and this time they were going to do serious business!

I haven't been out for a long time. When I stepped out of the house this time, I found that the sky outside was so blue, the trees were so tall, there were so many dogs, and even the barking of dogs became pleasant to the ears.

The three words "Have you eaten?" are no longer popular. If acquaintances meet, they will say...

——“Have you planted it?”

"Have you planted it?" The person asking the question was several feet away from the other person, with a hint of caution in his eyes.

"It's implanted!" The other person clapped his arms and raised his head proudly: "Doctor Li implanted it himself, and I didn't feel anything at all!"

After saying this, the man's eyes turned and he asked again: "Which doctor gave you the seed?"

"Me?" When the man heard that the other party was vaccinated by the great doctor Dr. Li, he immediately lost half a head of momentum, covering his arm and hesitating, "Dr. Cao of Huichun Hall vaccinated..."

"Tsk—" The other party didn't say much, just made a light "tsk" sound, but made him feel a contempt from the depths of his soul.

Why?

They all got the cowpox vaccination, so why are they so lucky that they can meet Doctor Li as soon as they show their arms?

Just as the two of them were comparing themselves to each other, a male voice came from not far away: "Now that we are here, stop chatting. Today we are going to Baoping Lane! There are many elderly people there. We need to let the doctors check their health first. If they are OK, we will vaccinate them one by one. We are busy today, pack up and get ready to go!"

The person who spoke was Zhou Xu, a tenant of Huanxi Lane, who was chosen as the "vanguard" by Jiang Zhiming two days ago.

This “vanguard” is incredible!

Jiang Zhiming originally just wanted him to convince the residents of Huanxi Lane, but who would have thought that within half a day, this man had "captured all" the residents of Huanxi Lane, and even offered to go to Laonu Lane to continue "doing his job."

How could Jiang Zhiming refuse such a good thing? He just waved his hand and said, "Okay."

Having been appreciated by Jiang Zhiming, Zhou Xu was so excited that he seemed to be injected with chicken blood. He talked a lot and in less than half a day, he had convinced the people of Laonulu Lane and even recruited two younger brothers!

The biggest reason why the people are willing to believe him is that they are all ordinary people and they will prosper and suffer together.

Accompanied by palace soldiers, Zhou Xu and his entourage marched into Baoping Lane and knocked on the door of the first household.

......

Shangjing.

royal palace.

As the Spring Festival approaches, big red lanterns have been hung on the tall and majestic palace walls, with red silk hanging below, fluttering in the wind. The gates of each palace are also covered with red spring couplets, with red background and golden characters, which are dazzling.

Yue Zhenchuan knew that the palace was luxurious and beautiful.

But at this moment, he didn't even dare to raise his eyelids, because he was being scolded.

Who in the whole of Shangjing dares to scold him like that?

——If Ji Benchang claims to be second, then only the emperor dares to claim to be first.

The emperor seemed tired of scolding, and threw the memorial at his feet. He didn't dare to look at it. He only thought that after Lu Sichu was brought back, he would cut him into pieces, drain his blood, put him in a pan, and fry him on both sides!

"Your Majesty, please calm down!"

Yue Zhenchuan knelt straight down and said in a resounding voice: "It is no problem for this old minister to discipline him, but he allowed the officials of the Ministry of Works to commit such a heinous crime in Xingning Prefecture. I - I beg Your Majesty to order Lu Sichu to be escorted back to the capital, and then the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple will jointly try him!"

With these two places co-trying the trial, Lu Sichu will no longer have any chance to turn things around. Beheading him is just an appetizer. The main course is to dig out everything that needs to be dug out, confiscate his property and exterminate his entire family.

The emperor remained expressionless upon hearing this, and instead looked at the memorials scattered on the ground.

"This man is intelligent, but not a kind person. He even dares to use the common people as his enemies in the court disputes..." He sighed silently.

After scolding Yue Zhenchuan, the emperor felt that he was not doing a very good job as an emperor.

All I heard him say was, "It is because I was not thoughtful enough and did not employ the right people, which... harmed the people."

The emperor felt more pain at having innocent people die in vain than having a war.

The war was caused by foreign enemies, but Lu Sichu... was his own official.

It is so ironic that such a despicable and treacherous person has been the "parent official" under his nose for more than ten years!

Seeing the emperor judging him in this way, Yue Zhenchuan felt a pain in his heart as if it were being stabbed by needles.

It is said that "a wise ruler should listen to advice" and "a wise ruler should reflect on himself", but over the past thousands of years, how many emperors have dared to admit in front of their ministers that they were wrong?

How many emperors dared to say, "I used the wrong people, and therefore harmed the people?"

If such words were written down by the "attendant" hiding in the corner, and then recorded in the history books for future generations, they might be distorted into "The Emperor of Zhou admitted that he was a tyrant."

Thinking of this, Yue Zhenchuan glared at the attendant who was writing furiously in the west corner of the hall.

The other person's peripheral vision met his and he shuddered. He immediately picked up the pen and crossed out everything he had just written down. After he was done, he raised it up and showed it to Yue Zhenchuan.

Only then was Yue Zhenchuan satisfied and made a decision in his heart.

"Your Majesty is very busy, and the people in the Ministry of Works should have been under the care of this old minister. It is my fault that I have failed to fulfill my duty as the Minister! An epidemic has broken out in Xingning Prefecture, and the situation is urgent. I beg Your Majesty to give me a chance to atone for my sins..."

After saying that, he took a deep breath, straightened his back, and looked at the emperor: "Old minister - please go to Xingning Prefecture to treat... smallpox!"

Your Majesty said that the outbreak in Xingning Prefecture was smallpox.

Any normal person knows how terrible smallpox is. Yue Zhenchuan is not a god, so he does not have the ability to make smallpox disappear.

Can......

He always has to do something.

He is the Minister of Industry and can also be the imperial envoy appointed by His Majesty. As long as he is in Xingning Prefecture, the officials of Xingning Prefecture will not dare to run away, and the people of Xingning Prefecture will still have a glimmer of hope.

At this time, whoever can survive is a good one. If he went to Xingning Prefecture and was "sentenced to death" by smallpox, it can only be said that he was unlucky and had this disaster in his fate.

After the words were spoken, a long silence fell in the hall.

The emperor did not answer for a long time, and Yue Zhenchuan could only keep kneeling and wait for the emperor to speak.

"Forget it..." he heard the emperor say.

Just what?

Yue Zhenchuan didn't understand.

The next moment, the emperor's golden shoes appeared before him, and the memorial was picked up.

"Get up first." The emperor said, "Yu Jiusi also said in his memorial that after Shen Qing knew that Lu Sichu was the governor of the eastern region, he sent a doctor to Changnan Prefecture."
