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

After Yang Zhou also sent the message back to Yonglu County, the pavilion became quiet, with only the sound of Balezhan's rapid breathing.

Shen Zheng stood up and patted his shoulder, comforting him: "Things are not that bad, everything can still be turned around, Master Ba, please don't get angry and hurt yourself."

Ba Lezhan supported his forehead, calmed his breath, and smiled bitterly: "Sir Shen, I am so stupid. If you hadn't reminded me, I would have pushed the people into the fire pit step by step! I was so complacent before..."

It was the first time that Shen Zheng saw Ba Lezhan so dejected. She sighed and said, "Master Ba, if you are really worried, then go back to the county and take charge of the situation."

Ba Lezhan raised his head, thought for a moment and shook his head, "Sir Shen, I would like to ask you for some more advice."

Even if he rushed back immediately, there was no other solution except to limit purchases.

Instead of going back and getting angry, it would be better to discuss countermeasures with the two "brothers in distress" in front of him.

Shen Zheng sat back down, "Master Ba, please feel free to speak."

"You just said that Tongan County has restricted foreign merchants from purchasing houses, but 'restriction' is not the best method. As I said before, as the county magistrate, if we handle it properly, we may be able to gain 'people, business, and taxes' at the same time, so I am thinking..."

Every time he said something, Shen Zheng nodded in agreement.

In the end, Shen Zheng also discussed with him seriously: "I have a method called 'Talent Introduction', which specifically means..."

Shen Zheng listed the regulations that he had discussed with Xu Zhubu that day one by one.

Ba Lezhan's eyes suddenly brightened when he heard this, and the depression in his heart was swept away. He subconsciously sat up and discussed with Shen Zheng. After a while, Xu Zhubu, Yang Zhou, Diwu Tanwei, and Fang Wenxiu also joined in.

Several people talked at once, and finally Xu Zhubu took out paper and pen and wrote down the policies that everyone had discussed.

Time passed in a flash, and even when Yu Shizhang and Liang Fu passed by the pavilion, no one looked up and noticed.

Behind the two men were four yamen runners, working in pairs, each carrying a large box. The objects in the box were obviously not light, so the runners bent over and moved extremely carefully.

Yu Shizhang pointed to his carriage and said, "Go to the county school."

......

County school.

"The ocean of learning is vast and full of waves, but my heart is as solid as a rock and I remain calm, children..."

Li Hongmao had just put down his book and was about to complete today's "Principal's Loving Encouragement" when he caught a glimpse of several figures coming in from outside the hall.

After seeing clearly, he walked out quickly and saluted respectfully: "Master, Sir Liang."

"Yeah." Yu Shizhang put his hands behind his back, glanced at the room, and asked in a fake tone: "Is the class over?"

Li Hongmao was slightly stunned, and said honestly: "My Lord, it's just over. Do you want to say a few words to the children?"

"Just a few words." Yu Shizhang glanced behind him and walked into the room. "This time, I brought something for the little ones."

Bring something?

Li Hongmao looked at the four yamen runners who were approaching and had some guesses in his mind.

Only after the bailiffs came in with the boxes, did Li Hongmao follow Liang Fu in.

As soon as Yu Shizhang entered, the students subconsciously straightened their backs and whispered to each other when he was not paying attention: "Why did you come today? Didn't you teach us yesterday?"

"Look, there's something! What's in that box?"

"This morning, the convoy that His Majesty gave to Lord Shen had just arrived in the county, and Lord Bo brought something to us. What do you think... could the contents of the box be..."

"Your Majesty gave it to us as a reward?!"

"No way, how can you be so shameless? Does His Majesty know who we are? Even if he rewards Nan Shu, he won't reward us."

Yu Nanshu narrowed her eyes slightly, "What do you mean by 'even if it's a reward for me'? I know what's inside, but I won't tell you!"

"Hey, Sister Nanshu, Sister Nanshu, just tell us..."

Yu Nanshu refused, "Why rush? You'll know in a moment!"

Yu Shizhang stood between the two boxes, put his hands behind his back and asked, "Children, are you curious?"

"Curiosity!!" This answer almost blew the roof off.

Yu Shizhang rubbed his ears and deliberately kept the secret: "I will not hide the origin of the items in this box from you. This morning, the emperor presented a reward to the county government, and I am sure you have heard about it."

Once these words were spoken, they began to arouse people's imagination.

The students' faces turned red, their necks swelled, and their breathing quickened because of thinking about it.

It is truly a reward from the Emperor!

Even if the emperor rewards them with a piece of rotten linen, it will still smell delicious!

"Master! Please tell me, what is in the box?"

Yu Shizhang laughed, "His Majesty, knowing that our county has opened a printing workshop, not only praised your Lord Shen, but also gave support in action. So the stuff inside..."

"Bang, bang—" He patted the lid of the box vigorously, raised his head and asked, "Do you understand everything?"

"Books!" The students stood up excitedly, leaning on the table and stretching their necks. "My Lord, are these the books that His Majesty has collected for us? Those books are only found in major academies, or even... even in the imperial palace!"

Just an ancient book like that is worth a fortune in the market!

And there is no demand for it!

People who truly love books and collect them would not be willing to sell them even if someone offers money!

His Majesty did not reward them with gold or silver, but skipped the gold or silver and rewarded them with ancient books by famous masters! How much did he value Tongan Seal Shop!

When Yu Shizhang personally opened the lid of the box, not only the many students, but even the headmaster Li Hongmao could not stand.

Everyone gathered around, their eyes fixed on him.

"Read carefully." Yu Shizhang picked up a few books and held them in his arms, teasing, "Don't stare through the books."

The students swallowed their saliva while examining the book covers.

Yu Shizhang raised his hand and held up a book, saying nonchalantly, "A Collection of Pearls from the Ocean of Fu."

Students: “What——!”

Yu Shizhang smiled faintly and raised the next book, "A Comprehensive History of Political Strategy and Weighing."

Students: "It's this long-lost ancient strategy book!!"

Yu Shizhang lightly lifted up the next volume, "Collected Lost Records of Kunyu Fangzhi."

The students rushed over and said, "Someone once offered a hundred gold coins to buy this book, but the news fell on deaf ears!"

Yu Shizhang smiled contemptuously, "What's that? The one in my hand is the original."

"hiss--"

"what--"

"Uncle——!"

“Don’t worry, don’t worry.” Yu Shizhang took a half step back while holding the book, and raised his hand again. “The Political Strategy Notes was written by Your Majesty in his spare time.”

"boom--"

"boom--"

Dozens of people fell to the ground.

The students lay down and looked at the roof, only to feel a wave of heat rushing to their heads, making them feel dizzy and unable to stand.

What are they?

A poor student with no achievements.

But what can they see?

The political strategy written by Your Majesty himself.

Is this right?

"Don't you want to watch it?" Yu Shizhang was very satisfied with their reaction and asked deliberately.

“Look!” The students stood up one after another, hugged his thighs and said, “Uncle Qingtian, please! Please let us see the handwriting of His Majesty!”
