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

"The donor is smart."

After Jue'an said this, he said no more.

Shen Zheng smiled faintly and asked him, "Master Jue'an, do the monks in your Quanyang Temple need cotton cloth to make robes?"

If Tongan County really wants to build a temple in the future, she will have to establish a good relationship with Quanyang Temple first, and then she can find a way to lure some monks back.

Jue'an didn't seem surprised that she would ask this. Instead, he looked at his old monk's robe and said, "Donor Shen, I think I came here to beg for alms today."

"I don't know." Shen Zheng told the truth, "You haven't answered me yet."

It seemed like this was the first time Jue'an had met someone like Shen Zheng who didn't play by the rules. He smiled helplessly and said, "Whether to donate incense or not is entirely up to the donor."

Yoho——

Don't force it.

Shen Zheng found this old host more and more interesting, and her mind became active again.

"Master Jue'an, I heard from others that you can tell people's fortunes. What do you think of me?"

Shen Zheng was skeptical about fortune-telling.

There are so many things in common among all kinds of lives that it is inevitable to say a few "popular" words to resonate with others.

For example - I think you are a person with outstanding abilities, but you have always felt that your talents have not been recognized. However, I think you will achieve great things in the future.

——Few people don’t like to hear good words.

It's not disrespectful to Buddhist monks, Shen Zheng just wants to know if Jue'an can see anything in her?

Jue'an still had a gentle smile on his face, but he raised his palm again, "Mr. Shen has many causes and effects, and the fate and destiny of the people of Tong'an County are closely related to you. I... can't see through it."

Another piece of nonsense.

She is the magistrate of Tongan County, and the fate of the people of Tongan County is of course closely related to her.

Shen Zheng raised her eyebrows slightly and said nothing.

Jue'an knew what she was thinking when he saw her expression, and he chuckled and shook his head: "After today, the causal connection between Master Shen, Tong'an County, and the people of Da Zhou has become even deeper."

Shen Zheng wanted to leave - listening to your words is just like listening to your words.

Forget it.

Just donate cotton cloth.

Donating incense is not only for "Buddha's blessing", but also for "having a clear conscience". If Buddha really sees her "good deed", maybe it can really protect the health of the people of Tongan?

Just as Shen Zheng took a step, Jue'an's voice came from behind her: "But..."

"But?" Shen Zheng turned and looked at him.

Jue'an stopped talking again, his eyes like ancient ponds staring straight into hers.

Shen Zheng inexplicably had a feeling that someone was looking directly into her heart - this feeling was difficult to describe in words, as if... Jue'an was looking through her eyes and into her soul.

"Master Jue'an?"

"Donor Shen, everything in the world is caused by cause and effect. This is the cycle of heaven, and there is no deviation. You planted the cause in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and you will reap the result. I hope Donor Shen will not be disturbed by external affairs, so that your heart can remain calm."

Was this telling her to... do what she wanted?

"Uh..." Shen Zheng paused for a moment, "Then Master Jue'an, is this a good result or a bad result for me?"

Before Jue'an could speak, Shen Zheng suddenly said, "Good deeds will bring good results, and bad deeds will bring bad results, right, Master Jue'an?"

Jue'an, whose lines were snatched away by her, remained calm and just smiled at her, "Amitabha, I wish you a worry-free birth and no disasters."

After saying this, he clasped his hands together, walked past Shen Zheng and left.

"No worries about childbirth, no disasters..." Shen Zheng murmured as she looked at his back.

Isn't this the word she said during the sacrifice just now? Or is it the kind she thought of herself?

But people nowadays don’t care what “production” is called “production” at all, so Jue’an…did he hear her talking?

And Jue'an came here today just to "bless" Tong'an Cloth Shop?

After Jue'an left, many doubts came to Shen Zheng's mind again.

Looking up, the river breeze blew his old monk's robes all over the place, and Shen Zheng really saw a hint of a "high monk" in him.

"never mind."

Good and evil or something.

It’s nothing but the good and evil in people’s hearts.

Shen Zheng didn’t know how others would evaluate her, and even she herself didn’t know how to evaluate herself, but she knew that everything she did was for the “goodness” in her heart.

"That's all." Shen Zheng shook his head and walked towards the cloth shop.

......

On the dam, each "booth" was surrounded by people. Some people walked back and forth between the booths, wanting to feel the texture of the cotton cloth, while others put their heads close, trying to infer the shape of the textile machine from the pattern of the cotton cloth.

The most special people in the crowd were a few people wearing veils.

The veil hat is covered with gauze all around, which not only makes it look mysterious, but the top of the hat is also very big!

The booth was already crowded, and with people coming and going, it was inevitable that the brim of someone's hat would bump into someone else's.

Here it is - we bumped into each other again.

"Oh, little girls, why don't you take off your hats? This is Tong'an County, Lord Shen's territory. No one dares to do anything to you. Look over there..."

He pointed at Xiao Yuan who was standing at the door of the cloth shop with his arms crossed and said, "The official is still here, so you can just put your mind at ease. Your hats are bumping against each other, making it difficult for anyone to see the cotton cloth!"

A yellow hairband floated out from the veil, and the little girl underneath murmured in a low voice: "It is because we are in Tongan County that we cannot..."

"Girl, what did you say!?"

"Nothing! We'll just take a look and then leave!"

The little girl with blond hair held the brim of her hat and walked over to her companions. They were looking at a piece of pure white cotton cloth at another booth, but they were standing on the periphery and did not squeeze into the crowd.

"Madam, why don't we go back to the carriage first." The yellow-haired man led the little girl to the old lady with his head down and whispered, "There are too many people here. What if someone bumps into you... If you want to wear cotton clothes, Jin'er will go find Master Shen later and ask her if she can sell some to us."

"Looking for Lord Shen?" Luluo pulled her to her side and lowered her voice and asked, "What did you say? You said you were... a maid and came to Tong'an County to buy cotton cloth?"

"Of course not!" Huang Jin put her hands on her waist and said in a crisp voice, "Our old lady wants to try cotton clothes. The cloth shop is open for business. Lord Shen is such a good person, how could he refuse us?"

"I won't refuse." Driver Mei pointed at Shen Zheng who was approaching slowly from a distance and said, "You just have to wait."

Before Shen Zheng could come over, she was surrounded by people. From their direction, they couldn't even see the tip of Shen Zheng's head.

What was different from the lively scene over there was that there were still a few people around them who had not gathered around, but judging from their attire, they were also merchants.

The voices of several people were carried by the wind: "Those who make linen are fine. If we lower the price, there will still be people willing to buy linen to make outerwear. But merchants like us who make fine linen and silk are in trouble..."

Who would use expensive linen to make linings when they have cotton?

They came here today because they were unwilling to give up and wanted to take a look.
