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

When Shen Zheng and his companions returned to the dock, the sun was already setting.

The orange sunlight makes the river surface sparkle, which is so dazzling that it is hard to take your eyes off it.

Compared to when they left, the Caoyunsi's ship had moved forward a lot, and there were only two ships in front waiting in line to unload.

As soon as they came back, Mo Jinyin got a letter from somewhere and kept peeking around. It looked like he wanted to come up and make his presence felt again.

Mo Qingwan hated him talking to Shen Zheng, even more than he talked to herself. Seeing this, she decided to take the initiative.

Shen Zheng felt her sleeve being tugged.

She turned around to look at Mo Qingwan and asked softly, "What's wrong? Are you tired?"

Mo Qingwan let go of her sleeve and shook her head vigorously: "I'm not tired. It's just... Lord Shen, I have something to say to you."

"At this moment?"

There are people coming and going here, and it is very noisy. It is obviously not a place for conversation.

Mo Qingwan paused, and then secretly glanced at Mo Jinyin who was "ready to go" beside him, and nodded, "It should take a while to unload it to the Caoyunsi ship. I have an office courtyard at the dock. If you and Lord Wei don't mind, you can go there to rest for a while."

Shen Zheng was still thinking when she heard Wei Que's loud voice: "Is there a couch? My head is a little swollen, I want to take a nap."

"Yes!" Mo Qingwan said quickly, "There is a small room specially used for resting, with a bed and couch."

There is a couch, so what are you waiting for?

Wei Que was more anxious than Mo Qingwan, and he almost wanted to rush to the front to lead the way.

Wang Guangjin asked to stay.

After all, the goods are from his Tongan County. It doesn’t matter if someone from the Caoyun Bureau is present. He also needs someone from Tongan County to keep an eye on the scene!

......

As soon as Shen Zheng and the other two arrived in the courtyard, Wei Que went into the small bedroom to rest without saying a word. After a moment, he could hear snoring.

Shen Zheng paused holding the teacup and chuckled, "The sawing has begun. They have been working really hard during this period."

Mo Qingwan covered her mouth and chuckled: "It is said that traveling by boat is tiring. People on boats and in cars seem to have done nothing, but in fact they are very tired."

Shen Zheng, who had never been on a boat but had been on a car, took this very seriously.

After drinking a cup of tea, Shen Zheng asked her directly: "What did you want to say just now?"

Without Mo Jinyin to harass her, Mo Qingwan felt a little disappointed. After hesitating for a long time, she grabbed the corner of her clothes and said, "Sir, when we came to the dock before, you told me to live in the present and to live in this life..."

She secretly looked up at Shen Zheng, and when she saw Shen Zheng nod, she secretly encouraged herself, took a deep breath and said: "I don't know if I have misunderstood, but... I still want to ask you..."

Shen Zheng seemed to have guessed what she was going to say. She sat up straight and looked at her seriously.

Mo Qingwan was encouraged by her expression. He straightened his back and his almond-shaped eyes flashed with a nervous light.

"I want to ask you if I can work for you and do things for you."

It was exactly as Shen Zheng thought.

Seeing that Shen Zheng didn't say anything, Mo Qingwan turned into a qualified salesperson and tried her best to sell herself to Shen Zheng: "My daughter doesn't need to be paid! A place to live... My daughter still has some money, so she can buy a house in Tongan County, so you don't need to worry about it. But..."

She looked out the window, her eyes full of determination: "But I must bring my mother with me. This way, my mother's illness may be alleviated."

Shen Zheng nodded secretly.

If Mo Qingwan left her mother and came to follow him, I'm afraid I wouldn't agree.

Shen Zheng's thoughts turned into considerations in Mo Qingwan's eyes.

Consider whether she is qualified and capable enough to go to Tongan County and do work for Lord Shen.

Mo Qingwan was a little anxious, afraid that Shen Zheng would refuse, so he continued to promote himself.

"I have managed the dock for some time and have a lot of experience in dock affairs. Your dock is still under construction, and I can help look after it and give you some suggestions! And, and..."

Several figures suddenly appeared in her mind: "I used to have several managers, both big and small, but now they haven't found work. If you don't have enough manpower, you can ask them to come and help. I will pay them! No money from the county is needed!"

"Also! I am familiar with many businesses around Liuyang Prefecture. In the future, your Tong'an Chamber of Commerce will inevitably have to deal with them. I can help President Wang, give him advice, and run errands for him!"

"My lord, if you have anything to say, you can also call me to the county government office to find you! No matter day or night, I will be there whenever you call!"

As she listened, Shen Zheng's expression gradually changed from calm to shocked.

Mo Qingwan didn't come here to work, he signed a free "indenture" and wanted to pay more for it!

How could this happen?

"No!" Shen Zheng almost blurted out.

A huge sense of loneliness surged into Mo Qingwan's heart, and a layer of mist covered her eyes.

She was very disappointed: "As expected...I am still not qualified..."

Seeing that she was about to cry, Shen Zheng wanted to slap himself in the face, and hurriedly explained: "I said no, not that you can't come to Tongan County, it's what you said that is not allowed!"

"Ah?" A tear hung on Mo Qingwan's lower eyelash, about to fall.

Shen Zheng suppressed the guilt in her heart and said seriously: "You come here to work, you are not selling yourself to Tongan County."

Mo Qingwan still didn't quite understand and looked at Shen Zheng eagerly.

Shen Zheng sighed, "What I mean is that the wages that are due to you will be reduced by a single copper coin. If your subordinates are capable and willing to come to Tongan County, the county will welcome them, and you don't have to pay for their employment. Also, I have already agreed with you that I will let the county doctor check your mother's health, so your mother must go with you."

After finishing his words in one breath, Shen Zheng finally felt better and picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp.

"pat-"

The tear hanging on Mo Qingwan's eyelashes fell without warning, splashing tears on the table, and Shen Zheng's hand holding the teacup trembled.

Mo Qingwan sobbed and cried, covering her face and said, "When you asked me to take my mother to find a house, I thought so, but I didn't dare to say it. Only when you took me and my mother in, the Mo family didn't dare to come to harass us..."

If you ask where is the safest place in the entire Liuyang Prefecture, the Mo family will be afraid.

Apart from Liuyang government office and the prefect's residence, there is Tongan County.

She had been to Tongan County, and she was extremely confident that as long as Lord Shen accepted them, the people of Tongan County would definitely not be xenophobic.

But that is exactly why she and her mother are "trouble". If they go, they will bring trouble to the entire Tongan County.
