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

The thin and small figure lifted a bag of goods that was bigger than him.

His waist was almost bent parallel to the ground, but his head was still held high, watching every step he would take.

Wei Que thought, if he could see clearly, the child must be clenching his teeth at this moment, right? After all, this way he could exert more force.

He began to understand what Shen Zheng wanted to express.

Shen Zheng said: "We don't have the ability to make them rich overnight, nor do we have the ability to give them official positions or let them live in the big house they dream of. But... we have the ability to improve people's lives."

"It is within our ability to allow them to earn a few dozen more cents in wages," said Wei Que.

"It is also our ability to let them sleep well at night," said Shen Zheng.

Let those black-hearted bosses know that someone willing to use ten people as ten people is also a kind of ability.

The people are not stupid. They know what work is easy and what work is difficult.

"Brothers, work harder!" The voice of the laborer came from not far away: "We will unload Lord Shen's goods soon! Be careful when the time comes! Don't damage the goods!"

"Hey——!" One call and a hundred responses.

"It's your ability that earns the respect and love of the people." Wei Que's voice was carried into Shen Zheng's ears by the wind.

"It's not about ability." Shen Zheng smiled and shook her head: "I treat them as human beings, with flesh and blood and families, who feel uncomfortable when hungry and cold, and laugh when happy. Respect and love are the people's return of my kindness to me."

Wei Que once again felt the gap between him and Shen Zheng.

Perhaps in her heart, Shen Zheng has never considered herself an "official".

She could be a laborer at the dock or a weaver in Tongan County. She...may have always been one of the ordinary people.

"Except for not working at night..." Wei Que looked into Shen Zheng's eyes with the light of the fire: "What else are you going to do?"

The wind messed up Shen Zheng's hair. She tucked it behind her ears and looked at the twinkling lights in the darkness. She chuckled, "You asked me about this. I haven't thought about it yet. The county needs to develop, the prefecture needs to develop, and the Great Zhou needs to develop. We can't just look at the people. We have to find a way to check and balance it."

Wei Que chuckled: "I asked a stupid question."

"Your Excellency cares about the people."

A tall hat was put on Wei Que's head, and he couldn't help but think of the crew members who went to the west with him this time.

Um......

We have to be nicer to them. They haven't seen their families for such a long time.

Pamper your own subordinates!

Mo Qingwan was still in a daze until they got close to the ship.

What Shen Zheng said was like thunder in his ears. Not only Wei Que heard it, but she was also greatly shocked.

"It's really big--" Shen Zheng exclaimed beside him: "From a distance, you can tell that this ship is not small. When you get closer, it's really..."

Shen Zheng compared her fingernail with an exaggerated metaphor: "I'm only this big."

Wei Que laughed out loud, a little proud: "This is not even the largest thousand-stone ship in the company. That ship...is not easy to sail in the inland river, and will get stuck in the ordinary canal."

Shen Zheng really wanted to see the boat that Wei Que mentioned.

While the two were talking, cheers were heard from the workers, as if they had won a battle - the Tongan County cargo ship officially started unloading.

Because the Caoyunsi ship was large and its cabin was much higher than the shore, Shen Zheng had the opportunity to see the "simple conveyor belt" at the dock - it was shaped like a ladder, with two vertical, thick solid wooden pillars on both sides, and countless thick wooden sticks of similar size lying across the middle.

The workers put the "conveyor belt" in place and temporarily built a temporary "cargo transfer platform" in the middle to prevent the "conveyor belt" from being too long and unable to bear the weight of the cargo.

As soon as the "conveyor belt" was set up, dozens of workers swarmed on it, stepped on the pillars on both sides of the "conveyor belt" and rushed onto the boat. In order to keep the "conveyor belt" balanced, they even got on both sides at the same time.

Shen Zheng was stunned watching from the side: "What a skill..."

Wang Guangjin came out from somewhere, and several figures came "against the current" from the boat. They were the people who had stayed on the boat, including the helmsman and crew members, as well as Wei Que's confidants.

In the darkness of the night, Shen Zheng could only see the whites of their eyes and their teeth...

"Boss! Lord Shen!" After the group greeted each other, they stretched their bodies like Wei Que did before.

Wei Que stepped forward and patted their shoulders, hesitantly saying: "Let's take turns to eat. Tonight too... take turns to guard and take turns to rest."

After these words were spoken, the whites of several people's eyes became more obvious in the night.

They looked at each other, and one of them stepped forward in panic, "Boss, what's wrong with you? Did something happen? Please talk to your subordinates, don't scare them."

The group looked horrified and nodded in unison.

The cargo ship docked, but when did the boss ever ask them to go out for a meal, or to have a rest?

To put it in the words of the leader: "Can't finish the dry food? If you can't eat it, just starve. When you are hungry enough, you can eat ten at a time with river water! Want to rest at night? Wait a few more decades, and you will die and sleep in the ground forever! You won't wake up even if your grave is dug up!"

But today...

Someone in the group silently made a gesture to exorcise evil spirits.

Go away, demons and monsters! Go away, demons and monsters!

Wei Que felt a little uncomfortable when his good intentions were questioned. Shen Zheng looked at him with interest to see how he would tell his men.

Wei Que coughed lightly and said awkwardly, "Today this little girl took me to a restaurant. The food was pretty good. Do you want to go or not? Also, people get lazy when they are full. I just allow you to rest for a while."

A weird person said weird things.

Before the group could speak, Mo Qingwan whispered, "Sir, the restaurant is closed now."

"......" Wei Que was so embarrassed that he wanted to dive into the river.

Mo Qingwan realized that she had said something wrong, and quickly tried to make amends: "But I know of a food stall in the mansion that tastes good and has fresh ingredients. It's still open now, can I ask someone to take the officials over there?"

Wei Que didn't say anything, and the group didn't dare to speak either. They just looked at him.

In fact, they were really hungry and really missed the food on the ground.

Wei Que deliberately stared at them for a moment, then sighed helplessly, "Forget it, seeing as you really want to eat, go ahead."

"Thank you, sir——!"

In fact, none of the people were too old. Except for two old men on the boat, the others who could follow Wei Que out on the boat were there to "gain experience."

So they got the OK, and like monkeys released into the mountains, they ran away following the servant, shouting "Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch".

“Hey——!” Wei Que’s voice was quickly drowned out by the noise: “No drinking! I haven’t drunk anything!”
