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

The next day.

Shen Zheng and Liang Fu returned to the county government office at about 11 pm last night to rest.

The two did not find the cause of the explosion in the blast furnace room, which caused Shen Zheng to have nightmares all night, so much so that she was still a little dazed when she woke up.

It is undeniable that dreams can give people inspiration at certain times, because dreams are a free combination of various fragments of knowledge and experience, which can occasionally give people unexpected effects.

But her dream last night...

When Shen Zheng thought of that dream, her expression became strange.

She dreamed that... after the furnace exploded, the various raw materials in the furnace melted into a conscious, palm-sized little man. As soon as she and Liang Fu opened the furnace, the little man climbed out by clinging to the furnace mouth.

Then the little man turned his back to them, shook his buttocks, and turned around to speak...

"What did you say...?" Shen Zheng hit his head in annoyance.

She really wanted to remember that sentence, because in her dream, she and Liang Fuyi suddenly understood the reason for the furnace explosion after hearing the villain's words.

"Ah——" Shen Zheng really couldn't remember, so she could only simulate the situation, pulled the quilt over her head, and then lay down.

This lying down really brought back some memories for her.

"The villain said..." Shen Zheng sank into the depths of consciousness and muttered to herself, "He said... if I cook him two sweet candied haws, fragrant chicken legs and crispy fried meat, the oven won't explode?!"

"Shh-"

Shen Zheng threw back the quilt and sat up, her face wrinkled: "What the hell?! Is this for the Kitchen God?"

The key point is that in the dream, she and Liang Fu were full of admiration after hearing it. They excitedly held hands and turned around together, believing it without any doubt!

When I thought of this, the dream that followed became clearer.

After that, she and Liang Fu were like possessed. They first stole two large chicken legs and a plate of fried meat from the county government kitchen, and then rode their bicycles to Quanyang County to buy candied haws.

"Bicycle?!" Shen Zheng, whose forehead was burned to only a small inch of hair, slapped her face fiercely: "Shen Zheng, I think you are really crazy."

Not only did the bicycle appear in the dream, but even Liang Fu's old bones left an afterimage when he pedaled the bicycle? ?

In the dream, they were really struggling to offer sacrifices to the "stove god"...

Shen Zheng sat on the bed for a long time to digest this outrageous dream before she got up and put on her clothes.

She put away the bronze mirror in her bedroom and would not look in the mirror again until her hair and eyebrows grew back.

After packing up, Shen Zheng opened the door, stretched, and walked towards the front yard of the county government office.

It turns out that protective tools are indispensable when opening the furnace and checking the materials, so I have to ask Fang Qizhen for two sets first.

In the front yard, Zhao Xiu had just finished arranging tasks for the constables, and the constables walked out together. Zhao Xiu and Xiao Yuan, who were at the end, saw Shen Zheng out of the corner of their eyes and were about to salute her when their expressions suddenly froze.

"Sir!" Xiao Yuan screamed, and ran over holding the ruler, "What happened to your hair? And your eyebrows, how come they are gone!"

Shen Zheng was just about to tell him to shut up, but his loud voice called everyone back.

The next moment, Shen Zheng was surrounded by a group of constables and yamen runners. Some even speculated that the county government had been robbed and someone secretly shaved Shen Zheng's hair and eyebrows.

The more they guessed, the more outrageous they became. They shouted that they wanted to avenge Shen Zheng. Shen Zheng's eyebrows jumped, "This was done by me. Don't make blind guesses. Go and do your job!"

"Own......"

Everyone looked stunned.

Do adults have such unknown hobbies?

Shen Zheng looked at their strange expressions and clenched her teeth: "This official and Lord Liang were forging a new object and accidentally hurt themselves."

Everyone then remembered that they had heard that the Lord and Lord Liang were tinkering with a large iron stove in the printing house in the past few days. It would not be long before they would have one more treasure in Tong'an County.

The price that adults have to pay is really too high...

What kind of treasure is worth an adult’s forehead of hair, eyebrows and eyelashes?

Except for Xiao Yuan, all the others were driven away. Shen Zheng then spoke: "Go to the Salt and Iron Bureau in the prefecture and find Lord Fang. Ask him to give us two sets of heat-resistant protective gear on credit."

After saying that, Shen Zheng pointed to her face and said, "Especially the protective gear on her face."

Xiao Yuan felt sad and nodded vigorously: "Don't worry, sir, I will get you a set of protective gear even if I have to steal it!"

"...Thank you." Shen Zheng waved at him: "Go quickly, and try to come back today."

Xiao Yuan felt that he had a heavy responsibility, so he led Zhuifeng out and rushed out.

......

County government office, backyard, pavilion.

The raw materials in the furnace exploded yesterday, and there were no protective gear today. Shen Zheng and Liang Fu did not dare to be reckless anymore, and discussed the cause of the furnace together in the backyard.

During the entire discussion, Liang Fu did not look at her once, but whenever their eyes accidentally met, Liang Fu's nostrils would flare slightly and the muscles on his face would tremble wildly.

I want to laugh, but I dare not.

"..."

Shen Zheng couldn't stand it anymore. She slammed the booklet on the table, leaned forward, and gritted her teeth: "Is it so funny?"

"No...no, no..." As soon as Liang Fu raised his head, the muscles on his cheeks trembled even more violently, and he finally couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Looking at Shen Zheng's increasingly dark face, he apologized while trembling: "I'm sorry, Lord Shen... I couldn't help it..."

Shen Zheng closed her eyes resignedly, "Laugh now, and stop laughing when you've laughed enough."

When she makes a bicycle in the future, she won't let old man Liang Fu ride it! She won't even let him touch it!

Shen Zheng ignored him, lowered her head, picked up a pen, and began to use the timeline to work back to the cause of the explosion. However, the words "sweet, fragrant, crispy" kept spinning in her mind, making her face wrinkled with anger.

Just as she was about to ask Liang Fu to push together, a yamen runner trotted over from the front yard and reported: "Sir, President Wang is here."

"Wang Guangjin?" Shen Zheng put down her pen and looked towards the front yard: "What does he want?"

The yamen runner immediately replied, "President Wang said that he will bring you what he brought back from there."

Shen Zheng then realized that when Wang Guangjin came back from his trip to the west, he brought back several wooden boxes of various sizes, saying that there were things for her among them, but she had been so busy during this period that she had forgotten about them.

"Let him come over." Shen Zheng said.

The bailiff took the order and left. After a moment, Wang Guangjin led several servants and carried boxes into the backyard.

Looking at the rows of wooden boxes, he clapped his hands with satisfaction, turned to look at Shen Zheng, and the next moment his expression suddenly changed. He even forgot to salute and walked quickly forward.

Before he could speak, Shen Zheng answered, "I just tinkered with it myself. It's no big deal. Don't worry. Don't advertise it. If anyone asks, remember to explain it for me."

Wang Guangjin swallowed and nodded silently.
