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

Xu Zhubu went to the front yard and brought the driver over to have dinner together, and the five of them sat around the table.

Shen Zheng was surprised when she saw the two plates full of meat dishes on the table.

She asked Zhao Xiu, "So much meat! Why is Uncle Lai so generous today? Won't we have to eat vegetables every day for the next few days?"

The county government's public kitchen has a fixed amount of pork every month. In the past, they only had a plate of meat at lunch, and each person could get one or two pieces of meat to taste, which was already very good.

Zhao Xiu brought the last plate of vegetables and placed it on the table.

When he came to eat at noon, he thought the same as the adults: we have eaten all the meat today, so what will they eat in the future?

Unexpectedly, Uncle Lai laughed so hard that his eyes couldn't be seen anymore, and said that this would be the standard for meals in public kitchens in the future.

The crowd almost had a quarrel, and after some investigation they found out that someone had taken away all the pork from their county government.

After Zhao Xiu told this, Shen Zheng was also confused. Who is such a generous person?

She quickly asked, "Who is that person? It can't be Wang Guangjin. If he eats like this every day, it will be a lot of money if he keeps eating like this."

Zhao Xiu shook his head and said with a smile: "Sir, this person is in Tongan County."

When Shen Zheng heard this, she immediately had a candidate in mind, but she was not quite sure.

"Is it Fang Ziyan?"

Seeing that she guessed it right at once, Zhao Xiu stopped keeping her in suspense.

"Before dawn today, the butcher's stall owner, Anan, delivered ten kilograms of pork. Uncle Lai thought he had delivered it to the wrong place, but when he asked, he found out that it was the Fang family in Quanyang County who sent it."

Shen Zheng was a little surprised that the Fang family had considered it so carefully.

Zhao Xiu continued, "Anan also said that the Fang family gave him a large sum of money and asked him to pay it every day according to this standard in the future."

Shen Zheng calculated that there were currently twenty people working in their county government office, so each person could eat half a pound of pork every day.

She picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks. It was fat and lean, and very greasy, which made people's appetite increase.

She sighed, "Fang Wenxiu really knows how to behave. We are also relying on Fang Ziyan's help."

If you want to eat as much pork as you want every day, there are really no two restaurants in Tongan County that can meet this standard.

Zhao Xiu nodded in agreement: "Everyone is so happy today, and they keep praising Fang Ziyan as a little lucky star."

Shen Zheng felt that now was a good opportunity to talk about what had just happened. After all, Zhao Xiu must have eaten the pork sent by the Fang family.

Eaters have short mouths.

She first asked Zhao Xiu to sit down and eat together. It was getting late and Zhao Xiu was really a little hungry, so he took the bowl and chopsticks and sat down.

While eating, Shen Zheng pretended to ask casually, "Did you fight with Mr. Li just now?"

Zhao Xiu understood what she meant as soon as he heard it and put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hands.

He looked a little annoyed: "I was reckless just now. I pushed Mr. Li in a moment of anxiety and anger. It's my fault."

He admitted his mistake not because the person in front of him was his boss, but because he truly felt that his behavior was wrong.

Seeing that he had realized his mistake, Shen Zheng didn't want to say anything harsh. After all, Zhao Xiu was also worried about her and Xu Zhubu. If she said anything harsh, it might chill his feelings.

But it was wrong for Zhao Xiu to push people, and he and Mr. Li could be considered colleagues.

Colleagues should understand and support each other, which is the long-term plan.

Shen Zheng nodded gently and said in a gentle voice:

"You are worried about me and Xu Zhubu. We are very considerate of each other, but you should not fight with Mr. Li."

Seeing that Zhao Xiu was still secretly upset, she said with a hint of comfort:

"Although Mr. Li is a scholar, he is not a petty person. He should not take this matter too seriously. However, you should apologize to him. We will all work together in the future. Don't let a small matter create rifts between us."

After hearing her words, Zhao Xiu nodded seriously.

"I will go and apologize to Mr. Li tomorrow."

What the lord said is right. He is a rough man. In the past, he would fight with the constables, but the next day he would be as good as if they were wearing the same pants.

But Mr. Li is different. Mr. Li is a scholar and has just arrived at the county government. His behavior makes it easy for people to think that he is excluding his colleagues.

Seeing that he looked sincere, Shen Zheng said no more and told everyone to finish their meal quickly and go back to their rooms to rest.

……

The next day, Shen Zheng slept until noon. When she saw the morning light coming through the window paper, she jumped out of bed.

Fortunately, there is no time clock in the county government!

When she walked out of the room, she saw that the people from the county government had surrounded the backyard.

Shen Zheng walked over curiously and asked Xiao Yuan who was looking forward: "What are you doing?"

The sudden voice scared Xiao Yuan so much that he patted his chest. He was so engrossed in watching that he didn't notice the adult standing behind him.

Xiao Yuan smiled, with a hint of youthfulness in his smile. He said sheepishly:

"The craftsman you hired was planing wood. He had to change several tools to plan one piece of wood! The brothers found it strange and gathered around."

The carpenters they had seen in the past also had some tools, but not as complete as this craftsman, and he would not change tools while planing a piece of wood.

Men are naturally attracted to these objects, especially the double-handled saw, which is really amazing!

Mr. Qiao, who was surrounded in the middle, also enjoyed this feeling.

Every time he took out a tool, the boys would exclaim in surprise. Those tools were like switches to them, which made him feel playful.

"Cough cough."

Shen Zheng coughed heavily behind everyone.

The detectives immediately turned around, looked at her, and then lowered their heads.

Shen Zheng glanced at everyone and asked in a serious tone, "Are you all taking a day off today?"

"no……"

The detectives answered immediately, shaking their heads like rattles.

Shen Zheng was so angry that she laughed when she saw how they acted like quails.

"Then you should be on duty, patrolling the streets. Today, considering that this is your first offense, I will let you go. If you behave like this again next time, I will really punish you!"

She herself overslept today, and felt a little strange when she said this.

"Yes!"

The detectives immediately ran away.

When Old Qiao saw the crowd disperse, he smiled and said, "These guys in your county government are quite entertaining."

Shen Zheng shook her head helplessly: "Stop teasing them."

She looked at the wood in the hands of Mr. Qiao and Cheng Yu, and asked, "Have you started the work? Where is the basic wood?"

Yesterday, Mr. Qiao brought only the wood he collected. The basic wood needed for the general structure of the textile machine had to be purchased in Tongan County.

Old Qiao pointed towards the front yard.

"The Xu family kid drove over to buy it."

Shen Zheng nodded, and once again admired herself for making a wise decision to buy Zhuifeng that day.
