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

Chen hour and five quarters.

A carriage was driving on a bumpy dirt road, and it was really bumpy. Two little maids with buns on their hair got out of the carriage, shaking their heads and looking at the side of the road.

The maid with green hairband frowned slightly and asked the driver: "Brother Mei, are we really on the right track? This road has made the old lady dizzy..."

"We're on the right track." The driver, who was called "Brother Mei," looked calm and pointed to the carriage road ahead. "When they passed by just now, they mentioned Tong'an Cloth Shop, which proves that we're on the right track."

The maid with the green hairband looked at the carriage in front of her that was shaking so much that it was about to fly, and rubbed her arms, "You can't go as fast as them, let's go slowly, if we can't catch up, then we can't catch up. This is just the opening of the cloth shop, not the sale of cotton cloth."

The driver trembled and asked, "Is this what the old lady meant?"

Before the maid with the green hairband could reply, there was a noise behind the carriage, which startled a bird that was perched on a branch combing its feathers, and it flapped its wings and flew away.

"Fang Ziyan, slow down! Slow down! Do you know how to drive a car? Hurry up and give the rope to Fan Chiqing, he is very strong!"

"Nan Shu, sit tight, I will definitely subdue this stubborn donkey today!"

"Fang Ziyan—there's a carriage ahead! Stop now!"

“Whoa—whoa—whoa!”

"The donkey cart doesn't say 'whoosh'!"

It was clearly just a few words of conversation between teenagers, but the two maids with bun-head hair seemed to have heard something extraordinary. They looked at each other and immediately went back to the carriage.

The sound from behind was getting closer and closer. The driver turned slightly to look behind him, and his pupils shrank when he saw that the donkey cart showed no sign of stopping.

The dirt road in the village was not narrow, but it was definitely not wide either. It was just wide enough for two carriages to pass each other. Just like just now, when they were overtaken by the carriage in front, both sides carefully gave way to avoid overturning into the fields.

And now the donkey cart behind them was rushing forward. If it wasn't stopped, it would collide with their horse-drawn carriage in the next moment!

The driver hesitated for a moment between the two options of "driving the cart faster" and "forcing the donkey cart to stop", and then made a decision.

"Green ivy, come and hold the reins."

The next moment, a pair of hands stretched out from the carriage, holding the reins tightly with both hands.

"?" The driver lifted the curtain of the carriage and said in confusion: "Come out to see the road, how can you drive the horse inside?"

The screaming behind me continued.

"We're going to hit someone! Hurry, get to the field!"

"Zi Yan, give me the rope!"

Just when the people on the donkey cart were at a loss and prepared to fall into the field with the donkey cart, a figure fell from the sky and sat on the donkey cart in the blink of an eye.

Fang Ziyan and the others widened their eyes and forgot to react for a moment.

This man had a sharp gaze and without saying a word, he snatched the rope from Fan Chiqing's hand, pulled the rope with one hand, and blocked the crowd with the other hand, and then exerted force suddenly!

"Eh-"

The stubborn donkey's head was pulled facing the sky. It could not see the road clearly and could no longer rush forward. When it was about to collide with the carriage in front, it stopped abruptly.

The donkey's hooves and the wheel of the cart had worn a long mark on the ground, and dust was flying all around.

Fang Ziyan held on to the driver's crossbar with his arms to steady himself, staring at the stubborn donkey's neck that was about to collapse, with his mouth wide open.

The donkey's neck...seems like it's about to be broken.

How powerful is this!

He knew that the uncle he met that day was not an ordinary person!

"Uncle, uncle!" He grabbed the driver's sleeve, his face full of admiration: "You saved us! How did you just fly over from the carriage? Do you know martial arts?"

"Zi Yan!" Yu Nanshu looked helpless, pulled Fang Zi Yan back, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, uncle, we don't know how to drive, and we almost hit you. Thank you for saving us."

The driver was slightly stunned when he saw her, and after a moment he said, "Where are your masters? Donkey carts are hard to drive, and it's too dangerous for you to do this. If it wasn't me who met you, you would have crashed the cart or crashed into the field, and what would you do if you got hurt?"

After hearing these earnest words of instruction, Yu Nanshu uttered an "ah" and looked at the road behind her.

"They're behind, coming soon."

"Then wait until they come before you go." The driver handed the reins back to Fan Chiqing and instructed: "The donkey cart should move slowly, don't rush it. If it can't be stopped, several people can work together to stop it with great force."

Several people nodded quickly. The coachman looked at the road they came from and saw that there were indeed quite a few people coming this way, so he returned to his carriage.

He had just taken the reins from Luluo and started driving the carriage when he heard someone in the carriage ask, "Are those children okay?"

The female voice sounded a little old, but neither hurried nor slow, and as steady as if it came from deep in her chest.

"Madam, they are all fine and don't look scared." The driver reported respectfully.

A chuckle came from inside the carriage, "That's good, let's go."

......

At six quarter past three in the morning, in Xiahe Village, in front of the cloth shop.

"It's only two quarters until the time comes, why haven't the adults arrived yet?"

Today, Wu Lizheng was dressed like a young man, wearing a royal blue linen gown, brand new black linen shoes, and a purse woven by Lotus hanging around his waist.

"When has she ever been late? If she said 9:00 p.m., then she will definitely be here before 9:00 p.m. Let's just get our things ready and wait patiently."

Zhou Lizheng next to Wu Lizheng was dressed even more energetically, and even changed his headband to a new one. When the river breeze blew, the green headband behind his head fluttered.

"Are we all here?"

Wu Lizheng was so nervous that his breath was hot. He rubbed his hands and paced on the spot, looking around carefully.

The villages are...

Everyone is here.

Cloth Worker...

Cotton-spinning department, cotton-strip rubbing department, thread spinning department, thread washing and dyeing department...

People from all departments also stood in an orderly manner.

There is also an altar!

The "three animals" of fruits and wine were all prepared, the bowls and chopsticks were also laid out, the red cloth and red linen blankets next to them were clean, and the firecrackers were neatly placed in the bamboo basket.

Everything is ready, just waiting for their "east wind" to come.

Wu Lizheng looked at Ba Lezhan who was busy in front of him, and his mouth twitched slightly, "Ba County Magistrate really doesn't treat himself as an outsider... Yang County Magistrate, the Fifth Chief Clerk and Mr. Fang are all waiting by the side, but he can't sit still..."

Zhou Lizheng looked up and saw Ba Lezhan, dressed in an official robe, asking the Yangzhou County Magistrate and the Fifth Chief Clerk to have tea, and then asking the workers in the printing house to check the offerings, acting like the host of the house.

This is not a big deal.

The key point is that many merchants came forward to please Balezhan and started chatting with him.

What is this called?

"A cuckoo taking over the magpie's nest!" Wu Lizheng glared at Ba Lezhan's back, "Those foreign merchants thought that our master asked him to greet people, but in fact, our master didn't invite him at all!"
