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

"Lord Shen is going to the capital!"

In the courtyard, a fat boy whom He Yan didn't know was dancing excitedly, even more excited than the person involved, Shen Zheng.

He pulled the young scholar next to him and shook his hands excitedly: "Lord Shen and Grandpa Yu are going to the capital to meet the emperor and attend the palace banquet! Zhao Qi, did you hear that!"

Although the young scholar who was being pulled by him was not as excited as him, he opened his mouth several times but could not utter a word. He just looked at Shen Zheng in front of him and nodded continuously.

If you look closely, you can see that his eyes are a little red with excitement.

He Yan's eyes moved slightly, and he looked at Yu Nanshu again.

She gave the girl next to her a big hug, holding her hand and saying, "Qianzhi, you heard it too, right? His Majesty personally invited our Sister Shen to attend the palace banquet! Let me tell you, there will be so many people at the palace banquet, the Empress will be there too, and the birthday girl, the Empress Dowager, will definitely be there too! The Empress Dowager rarely comes back to the capital!"

The little girl opposite, who was called "Qianzhi", also nodded excitedly and looked at Shen Zheng with admiration: "Sister Shen is really amazing."

Suddenly, Yu Nanshu looked at her seriously: "Qianzhi, do you want to go to Shangjing to take a look?"

Feng Qianzhi was stunned, and slowly raised his hand to point at himself: "Me...?"

"Yes!" Yu Nanshu pointed in the direction of Shangjing: "Have you been to Shangjing? There are so many fun and delicious things there. Why don't we go there together? Doctor Li will definitely be back by then! I'll treat you to food and a show when we get to Shangjing! It just so happens that I can also take a look at the popular clothing styles in Shangjing and come back to design for the cloth shop!"

The fat boy next to her also came over and looked at her eagerly: "Nan Shu, can I go too? And Zhao Qi, can we all go together?"

Yu Nanshu looked at Fang Ziyan, who was looking expectantly, and Pei Zhaoqi, who was also looking at her without showing any expression, and waved her hand: "Let's go with Sister Shen! Protect Sister Shen's safety!"

Shen Zheng chuckled beside him.

A group of young adults are here to protect her.

"Great!" The fat boy Fang Ziyan excitedly ran around the yard twice, yelling, "Go to the capital! Go to the capital! Go to the capital! Go to the capital!"

After hearing this affirmative answer, Pei Zhaoqi became a little conflicted.

"Forget it..." He murmured, "Such a happy day, I'll discuss it with everyone later."

Out of curiosity about Tongan County, He Yan observed the expressions of everyone in the courtyard.

Excitement, joy, pride, worry, all kinds of good-willed emotions were shown on everyone's face, and no one felt surprised or dissatisfied.

He Yan finally confirmed that all of them were happy for Lord Shen.

What kind of emotion is this?

......

Being in a foreign land on New Year's Eve, He Yan didn't know where to go.

He originally thought that after delivering the oral order, he would stay in the Tongan County Inn and spend the New Year casually. After that, he would wait for the reward convoy to arrive, and then return to Beijing with the convoy after announcing the reward.

But who would have thought...

"Since he is a Yulin Army soldier and was sent by His Majesty to personally deliver the imperial edict, he must be a trusted confidant of His Majesty." Yu Shizhang said quietly to Shen Zheng, "Don't underestimate him as just one of the tens of thousands of Yulin Army soldiers. They know much more than we think, and they are always present in the dark corners of the court."

"So if we can build a good relationship, we should do it." Shen Zheng said to Yu Shizhang.

"That's right!" Yu Shizhang picked up the kitchen knife beside him and walked in front of He Yan.

He Yan was stunned and quickly bowed: "What do you want, sir?"

Yu Shizhang looked him over, his eyes falling on the scabbard behind him: "Since you can use a sword, you must be able to use a knife, right?"

He Yan was stunned by his question, while Shen Zheng beside him held his forehead helplessly.

"Your humble servant..." He Yan looked at the kitchen knife in Yu Shizhang's hand and said hesitantly, "Will it be...right?"

I know how to use a kitchen knife, so what?

You wouldn't ask him to cut vegetables! How dare he?

Yu Shizhang thrust the knife handle into his hand and said, "You are a young man. If you know how to do it, you can do it. If you don't know how to do it, you can do it. If you know how to cut meat, follow me to the backyard."

"Ah..." It's not cutting vegetables.

"Ah?" It's cutting meat!

Suddenly, He Yan seemed to have thought of something, and stopped following Yu Shizhang, "Master, I..."

Yu Shizhang stopped and turned around, his eyes threatening: "Don't you want to cut the meat?"

"No..." He Yan quickly shook his head: "No! I am willing! I just remembered that I forgot to tell you and Lord Shen something."

Yu Shizhang pointed at him and said, "Your Majesty is here, so you should be blamed for your incompetence."

He Yan lowered his head. He was so shocked when he first arrived at the Tongan County Government Office that he even forgot about his important business...

"I have failed in my duty, Lord, may I ask you to have a word with Lord Shen?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone around looked over and He Yan's scalp tightened.

Yu Shizhang pondered for a moment and walked towards the front hall: "Let's go."

Inside the hall, Yu Shizhang and Shen Zheng thought He Yan was going to say something confidential, but who would have thought that when he opened his mouth he would say that His Majesty still had rewards to come, and it would take several days to reach Tongan County.

"Do I need to ask for your permission for a moment?" Yu Shizhang said speechlessly.

"It's about the printing house..." He Yan said, "I don't know how many people in the county's printing house know about it, so I..."

"Oh?" Yu Shizhang ignored his question and asked directly: "What does it have to do with the printing house? But His Majesty wants to take over the printing house..."

Incorporate the printing house into the imperial court?

Yu Shizhang felt that this was not a wise choice and that His Majesty would not be able to make it.

"No." He Yan shook his head quickly, "Your Majesty ordered people to collect books from all over the world, including many rare and unique books, and sent them to Tong'an County. In addition to these books, there is also a private reward from His Majesty to Lord Shen."

"What?"

Yu Shizhang didn't know which one to be shocked by first.

"Your Majesty not only secretly sent us books, but also paid for Shen Zheng out of his own pocket?" He pointed at Shen Zheng.

Shen Zheng was also stunned.

Your Majesty paid for her out of his own pocket? Why? What was the name of the reward? The printing house? Then why not reward the great contributor, Boye?

He Yan's face froze, and he whispered, "Master, it's not a sneak..."

How can what the emperor does today be called "stealing"? Whatever your majesty does must be aboveboard and upright.

Yu Shizhang snorted and asked He Yan, "Looking at the entire Shangjing, how many people know about this?"

He Yan choked and answered hesitantly: "I know, the commander knows, and Eunuch Hong... seems to know too."

After saying this, he didn’t dare to look at Yu Shizhang and lowered his head.

"No more?" Yu Shizhang smiled, "And you still say it's not a sneaky one. Don't worry, when you go back, tell His Majesty that I and Shen Zheng will make the best use of it and live up to His Majesty's expectations."

He Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

I'm really afraid that this person will tell Your Majesty some shocking words.
