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

The night enveloped the group of people until they disappeared from everyone's sight.

"Didn't we say we could eat them in rotation?" Wang Guangjin scratched his head, "How come they all disappeared in a flash?"

Wei Que snorted, "They are so happy as soon as their feet touch the ground. Forget it, don't you know everything about the cargo? Go to the ship and keep an eye on it. Ask them to move the boxes gently."

"I almost forgot!" Wang Guangjin slapped his forehead, "The little toys I bought for you are also in there!"

After saying that, he started working hard and got on the boat in no time.

Before Shen Zheng could ask Wei Que what this "little thing" was, she heard a cry of surprise: "It's such a big bag, how can it not be so heavy!"

I saw huge oil paper bags rolling down from the "conveyor belt". The workers stood in a horse stance, prepared to be hit. However, although the objects wrapped in the oil paper bags were heavy, they were not what he expected.

——Compared with solid cloth and food, it is far inferior!

"Cotton..." A laborer piled the oil-paper bags on a dry ground and guessed, "This ship is Mr. Shen's cargo. This weight... must be cotton, right?"

When these words were spoken, everyone present suddenly realized the truth.

They are looking forward to selling cotton cloth in Tongan County in the future day and night!

"It must be cotton! The cotton that Lord Shen used to weave cotton cloth has returned!"

Word of mouth spread quickly, and the phrase "cotton is back" set off a new wave of enthusiasm at the dock.

Shen Zheng's heart couldn't help but beat faster. She and Wei Que avoided the crowd and went to where the oil paper bags were stacked.

She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she always felt that she could smell the dampness of the cargo hold from these oil paper packages, as well as the cotton resin scent that was baked by the sun.

"Cotton from the West..." Shen Zheng slowly reached out and touched the oil paper bag.

The oil-paper bag was chilled by the night wind, but she seemed to feel the warmth coming from the soft white cotton.

Before Wei Que could introduce them to her, she asked with a pinch of emotion: "Is the oil-paper bag expensive?"

Writing paper can be divided into cheap paper and expensive paper, but oil paper is never too cheap - the layer of tung oil on the top is not cheap, and oil paper needs to be moisture-proof, so it cannot be made too thin.

Wei Que didn't expect that she would still feel sorry for the paper at this point, and said with a choked voice, "It's not too expensive, the paper and oil are from the Canal Transport Bureau... Cargo ships are supposed to be painted with tung oil, it's just a little paper, it won't take more than a few pounds of oil."

It turns out that it was the moisture-proof oil paper made by the Caoyun Bureau!

Shen Zheng smiled brightly when she heard this. "Then I'll have someone carefully unpack it when we get back. Let it dry in the sun so it can be used next time!"

Wei Que felt a little distressed about throwing it away after using it once, and nodded immediately: "That's what I thought. Ask someone to keep it and take it with you when the cargo ship sets out. If there is any damage, the Canal Transport Bureau can also... repair it in time."

After-sales service is also included.

This time, Shen Zheng listened with smiling eyes and a smile on her face, praising Wei Que as a good man, but she never mentioned money.

Wei Que couldn't do anything to her, and suddenly thought of something, "That's right!"

Shen Zheng was still reaching out to feel the touch of the oil paper package, but turned her head away when she heard this.

Wei Que said: "I almost forgot another important matter! When we set out, Lord Shen, you asked me to bring..."

At this point, he turned around and glanced at Mo Qingwan. Shen Zheng understood and said directly: "We are one family, Lord Wei, please feel free to speak."

Just these few words made the little person in Mo Qingwan's heart lift up her skirt and dance with joy.

One of our own!

One of our own!

She is Lord Shen’s “own person”!

"Lime powder is so useful!" Wei Que gestured excitedly when he thought of the situation in the cargo hold: "The cargo hold wall is much drier than before, and even the sticky feeling on the ground has almost disappeared!"

He knew in his heart that the cotton was able to remain relatively dry after being shipped back this time, and the biggest credit was not the oil paper bags, but the lime powder!

He also put a small bag of lime in the book box in his dormitory and opened it to read every day. Until he returned yesterday, the books had not yet gotten moldy.

"I didn't lie to you, did I?" Shen Zheng immediately thought of the "bet" he had made with her before, and stepped forward: "Then what you promised, is it......"

He had promised before that if lime powder could really prevent moisture, the shipping cost of the cotton would have to be decided by Shen Xingjian.

Wei Que groaned and complained with a squinting look: "I am sharing my happy things with you, but your eyes are only focused on the serious matters."

Since he dared to admit in front of Shen Zheng that lime powder was very useful, he would definitely not go back on his word if he promised!

Shen Zheng smiled and said, "Just now I thought of it. Since limestone is useful, your Canal Transport Bureau should be prepared to purchase it and keep it in stock for the future."

"It's necessary to prepare..." Wei Que was talking, and suddenly realized something, his eyes were filled with heartache: "You mean... lime powder must not be repeatedly absorbing water to prevent moisture?"

Shen Zheng hadn't told him before, so he thought the lime powder was full of water and could be used after drying! They were going to have it moved out to dry tomorrow!

"Didn't I tell you?" Shen Zheng tilted his head and looked at him suspiciously: "When quicklime absorbs water, it becomes slaked lime, which is another thing. If you just dry it in the sun, you can't go back to the original state..."

There is no going back...

Can't go back...

Can't go back...

The three big words "can't go back" circled in Wei Que's mind, making his legs weak and he almost couldn't stand.

He held the cotton paper bag and asked with a distressed heart: "Is lime powder... expensive..."

At this moment, he only knew that there was lime powder in Tongan County, and whether to sell it at a high or low price was up to Shen Zheng alone!

"Calcinated and ground ore." Shen Zheng calculated the cost for him: "You should include the manpower and material resources from mining to calcination and grinding, as well as the profit."

When Wei Que heard this, his eyes darkened: "It can't be that cheap."

But having seen the wonderful uses of lime powder, can he say the word "no"?

No!

No matter how expensive it is, you have to buy it...

Seeing that he was about to cry, Shen Zheng hurriedly comforted him: "Don't cry, quicklime is also very useful. You can sell it after you use it up, and you won't lose much money!"

"Huh?" Wei Que suddenly put on a different expression, leaving Shen Zheng and Mo Qingwan stunned.

"What's the use? I hope Lord Shen can tell me quickly!"

"Too many." Shen Zheng counted on her fingers: "Improving soil, increasing crop yields and survival, cleaning rivers, plastering walls... Oh, it can also be used to store eggs. And...hiss - I can't remember for the moment."

With every word she said, Wei Que's eyes brightened.

Not to mention selling it, it would be useful even for the Caoyun Bureau!

In the darkness of the night, just as Wei Que was daydreaming about the beautiful world, a long dragon formed by torches came towards the pier in an orderly manner.
