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

Shen Zheng didn't expect that transportation was so convenient in her previous life.

She didn't use Western wool carpets or drink Western wine.

In the blink of an eye, only a year had passed, but in the Great Zhou, where transportation was very slow, she received a special gift from Ximi Prefecture that belonged to her alone.

"Wang Guangjin, thank you." She touched these things gently, her expression sincere: "Thank you for your gift, I like it very much."

The sudden seriousness made Wang Guangjin feel embarrassed. "It's just a small thing, I hope you like it. By the way, there is something else going on at the Chamber of Commerce. I will go first?"

Shen Zheng nodded slightly, and he walked out of the backyard hand and foot.

He took away all the vegetable seeds, leaving only the grape vines in the county government office, waiting to be planted in the field.

Liang Fu offered to help Shen Zheng preserve it, saying that they could be planted when it got warmer.

Shen Zheng was about to hand him the cloth bag, but suddenly she seemed to have thought of something and withdrew her hand, "Please wait a moment, I want to take a few branches to give to others."

After saying that, she unwrapped the thick wet cloth, selected four vines that were neither thick nor thin, found two pieces of cloth, divided the vines into two portions, and wrapped them again.

"Send someone away?" Liang Fu was a little confused: "Send...who?"

"Wu Quan, and Man Niang." Shen Zheng said, "Wu Quan said before that his wife wanted to eat grapes, but she was cheated when she bought grape vines and bought creeper vines instead."

Liang Fu looked at the creeper vines that were beginning to show signs of life in the backyard, and his mouth twitched slightly: "That's it?"

One is a woody vine, and the other is a stem-like soft vine. How could you be fooled by both?

Shen Zheng smiled softly, "Yes. He was deceived because the vines were stripped of branches. It just so happens that we can't grow all these vines, so we'll give him two and see if he can keep them alive. As for Man Niang... Well, it's an inn, so we can grow some summer fruits to attract customers, and Man Niang can also try to make wine and fruit drinks."

Liang Fu munched on the raisins and said, "Well... I think I can make the best use of them."

After putting everything away in different categories, the two of them each took a handful of raisins and started looking for the cause of the explosion.

After the relaxation just now, Shen Zheng's mind became much clearer.

She looked at the step-by-step diagram, pointed at two of the steps and said, "We were in the middle of these two steps. The limestone should have melted, but the feldspar has a higher melting point and is estimated to have not melted completely. So I think the problem may be the reaction between the feldspar and the white sand during the melting process..."

"Sir Shen, look at the remains of the explosion. I feel..."

The two of you talked to each other, you chewed a raisin and I chewed two raisins.

Before we knew it, the weather turned cloudy and the sun, which had been shining brightly, disappeared.

"call--"

Shen Zheng stretched lazily, "Next, it's time to verify it. There's no point just sitting there and thinking about it."

Liang Fu twisted his neck and agreed, "Then let's wait for Xiao Yuan to come back with the protective gear, and then we can verify it. I am really tired after working so hard for so long. Lord Shen, I will take a rest first. If Xiao Yuan comes back, just send someone to call me."

After Liang Fu left, Shen Zheng sat alone in the yard for a while.

The yard was quiet. She leaned back in her chair, looked up at the sky, and seemed to really smell the scent of fresh grapes.

She picked up the vine on the table and murmured to herself: "If you can grow faster and bear fruit sooner..."

But only Shen Zheng herself knew that what she hoped for in her heart was actually more than just this.

After an unknown amount of time, the rain layer dissipated a little. Shen Zheng pondered for a moment, went back to his room, took out an oil-paper umbrella, and left the county government office with four grape vines.

She only has free time today, and when Xiao Yuan comes back, she doesn't know when she can go out for a walk again.

She went to the printing house first. Just as she handed the grape vines to Wu Quan, it started to drizzle.

The rain was not heavy, but there was wind. Shen Zheng held a flat oil-paper umbrella, which could barely cover her head, but her clothes were inevitably wet.

Wu Quan advised her to sit in the printing house for a while and leave after the storm subsided. She shook her head and said, "I want to go out for a walk."

Wu Quan opened his mouth but stopped trying to persuade him.

After Shen Zheng left, the other workers gathered around and said, "Foreman Wu, it looks like the rain is going to get heavier. Why don't you let the lady stay here for a while while we go to the county government office to find someone to pick her up! If the lady catches a cold, how can we live with our consciences?"

In the wind and rain, Wu Quan remained silent as he watched the slightly desolate figure holding an umbrella walking further and further away.

After a moment, he looked down at the grapevine in his hand and murmured, "My Lord seems...unhappy."

Of course it’s not because I’m unhappy about giving him the vines.

If the lady doesn't want to give it, who can force her?

"Ugh......"

Amid the sound of wind and rain, Shen Zheng sighed softly and held the umbrella in front of her to block the rain. "It's too slanted... God, I finally came out for a walk, please be kind and leave later."

The next moment, it seemed as if God had heard her words, and the drizzle that was originally blowing in her face disappeared.

Shen Zheng moved the oil-paper umbrella away and widened her eyes, "Did you really hear it...?"

Suddenly, a chill invaded her back from her neck, and she shrank her neck.

"..."

It turned out that it wasn't God who heard it, it was just that the wind blew in a different direction.

Guanding Inn.

Man Niang had just put the tables and chairs in the yard back into the inn and was wiping her hair with a handkerchief when she saw a figure coming towards the inn through the drizzle.

This person was very busy, sometimes using the umbrella to block the front, sometimes using the umbrella to block the back.

Man Niang took a look at it with great interest and was about to laugh when she was suddenly stunned.

This person...

Why does it look so familiar?

"grown ups!!"

She didn't bother to take an umbrella, and ran out with her hand covering her forehead. After seeing Shen Zheng's face clearly, she exclaimed: "It's really you! The rain is falling very sideways, why don't you find a place to take shelter?!"

Shen Zheng moved the umbrella towards her head and said with a smile, "It's such a short walk, why not come to your place to take shelter from the rain?"

Man Niang pushed the umbrella back and pulled her into the inn.

With a roof over her head, Shen Zheng finally didn't have to hold the umbrella to block the air in front and behind. She breathed a sigh of relief and handed the cloth bag she had been holding in her hand to Man Niang.

"Wang Guangjin brought back this grape vine from the west. He said it bears a lot of sweet grapes. But it got wet by the rain just now, so the cloth bag can't be used anymore. We need to clean it up."

Man Niang looked at the two pointed grape vines and asked blankly, "You came here in the rain just for this?"

Shen Zheng was stunned. "It wasn't raining when I went out."

Man Niang then laughed: "You know what, I've always wanted to grow some fruit in the yard, but I couldn't find a good fruit tree! It just so happens that if I plant this grape vine, you will be able to drink it in a few years..."

Mannia's voice gradually died down.

People were coming and going in the inn, and the only sound left in her world was the sound of the rain.
