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

Ships come and go, people come and go at the dock, but the ship is still so eye-catching.

Shen Zheng did not explain, but just followed what Manager Yu said: "I have some connections with the higher-ups, so they helped me bring some goods."

Manager Yu gave her a thumbs up.

"You are this. Those of us who have been hanging around the docks for many years know that if we don't have strong connections, the ships above will never come to our place."

After that, he asked Shen Zheng mysteriously, "Miss, you must have heard of Tongan County, right?"

Shen Zheng was stunned, "You know...right?"

Wang Guangjin was laughing secretly, waiting for Manager Yu to give the next words.

Manager Yu sighed, "I heard that the guy over there has a strong relationship with the higher-ups. In order to facilitate the transportation of goods, he directly built a dock in the county! That's why I told you that if it weren't for the strong relationship, the ships from above wouldn't be willing to come to our place."

"Isn't it?" The person behind him continued, "People who are really capable would rather build their own docks than use the Mo family's docks. How tough! That Lord Shen is a real capable man!"

Wang Guangjin nodded seriously: "Brother, you are right."

Manager Yu then realized that there was another person standing next to him. After taking a look, he nodded and said, "Miss, let this young man stay to receive the goods, and you and the young lady can go and do the work. This young man looks like he is... uh, very safe here!"

Seeing Wang Guangjin's aggrieved face, Shen Zheng almost laughed out loud.

She suppressed her laughter and cleared her throat, then changed the subject: "Manager Yu, what did Mo Er tell you before that he would not pay you the money?"

Manager Yu got angry when he mentioned Mo Er. He looked at Mo Qingwan and said, "Miss, you know that we are long-term workers at the dock, and we are hired by the Mo family. Every day, ships come and go, and we load and unload goods. The more we work, the more we get paid. I will record how many ships pass by and how much stone goods are moved every day, and submit it to the account office. The account office will then check with the ship captain, and if there is no problem, we will pay you on the same day."

Mo Qingwan nodded: "That's right."

Manager Yu sighed and said, "But since Mo Jinyin took over, the accountant has been replaced. He said that he was too lazy to check with the captain every day and that it would be enough to check once every five days. But now two five-day periods have passed, and they still say that they haven't checked clearly, and they are holding back the brothers' money! The brothers are unwilling to wait for who knows how many more five days without seeing the money."

That's why the laborers compete for business at the docks, just for cash.

Shen Zheng rubbed her fingers when she heard this.

What on earth does Mo Er’s head look like?

How much money can you get from doing business by cheating your own people? What is he trying to do?

Wait a few more days, until the account books are in disarray, and then embezzle that tiny amount of money?

That's impossible. Isn't this just a waste of time? The dock is not operating? No more workers are needed in the future?

Shen Zheng racked his brains but couldn't figure out the reason. Even Mo Qingwan, the "business genius", was confused after hearing it.

Mo Qingwan tried to put himself in Mo Jinyin's shoes and racked his brains to come up with a very weird reason, but one that was somewhat consistent with Mo Er's twisted mentality - Mo Er was trying to find a sense of existence in the workers. In other words...

——“Dog training”.

To the workers, Mo Jinyin holds their hard-earned money in his hands and is their "God".

When they saw Mo Erdang, they greeted him humbly and respectfully, and might even kneel down to kowtow to him before he would be satisfied.

But how could the laborers understand this? They earned their money by selling their labor, not begging for it, so why should they be humble?

Therefore, Mo Er was dissatisfied and began to use the method of "reducing wages" to test the bottom line of the workers and force them to "surrender".

He kept saying it was five days, but what the workers actually had to face might be two, three, five or even ten five-days.

It was hard to find work, and they needed money. When they were really desperate, what would they do, in Mo Er's imagination?

They would beg this "God" to open his fingers and let some change slip to them!

At this point, the "dog" has been trained.

But how long had Mo Er been at the dock? How many times had he come into contact with these men? He didn't understand them, didn't understand that they also had bottom lines, didn't understand that they were also men of blood.

——Don’t pay? If you don’t pay, then don’t do it! If you are good, I will take jobs at the docks! If you have the guts, you can kick us out. Then we can stand up straight and come to you to ask for the money we owe you!

Mo Qingwan was so angry that he was shaking, but he still gently pulled Shen Zheng aside and told her his guess.

After Shen Zheng heard this, she opened her mouth and laughed, "Master, Master, you are truly a landlord! I just couldn't understand why he acted like this. It turns out that normal people can't empathize with him at all!"

This twisted, dirty, dark, and extremely pitiful self-esteem.

Really...

Invite laughter.

She suppressed the anger in her heart and asked Manager Yu, "Is Mo Erke at the dock now?"

Manager Yu was stunned, then shook his head: "No, that guy hasn't come in the past few days. I guess he's worried that the brothers will block him."

is not that right.

Mo Qingwan laughed sarcastically. Instead of asking Mo Er for help, these men "went out to work on their own". At this time, Mo Er did not dare to show up, but he was unwilling to accept it, so he had to wait.

Shen Zheng asked again: "What about the accountant? Is he here?"

Manager Yu subconsciously looked in one direction, but did not answer. Instead, he seemed to have guessed something and consoled: "Good girl, your uncles appreciate your kindness. Not only is that guy stubborn, but he also has two lackeys protecting him. You and the eldest lady are two girls, so don't go over and cause a conflict with them."

Shen Zheng felt a sore nose when she heard that.

They knew clearly that they had connections with "the higher-ups" and might be able to help them, but they still declined her kindness for their own safety.

You don't want to help, right?

Shen Zheng grabbed Wang Guangjin and pulled him over.

She insisted on helping!

"You have seen my brother, right?" Wang Guangjin was confused, not knowing where to put his hands and feet. Shen Zheng was still pulling him to introduce him: "Looking at my brother's skin color, I'm sure you can understand. Fighting! He is a good fighter. Not to mention fighting fifty, even fighting twenty-five! There is absolutely no problem."

Wang Guangjin blinked, pointed at himself and looked at Shen Zheng.

me?

Manager Yu and the others were also stunned by what she said. After a while, they said, "Ah? It doesn't look like... to me..."

This guy is dark, but his arms and thighs are not as thick as theirs! How can he pick... twenty-five?

Shen Zheng looked confident and patted Wang Guangjin on the shoulder: "My brother practices internal martial arts."
