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

"What adults need is that you roll up your sleeves and work hard during the work period, that's enough."

"I won't say more. Next, I will read out the names and the village heads will pay everyone. Since the cloth workshop is just getting back on track, the cotton cloth for the spring season will be distributed to everyone two days later. Also, starting from next month, the monthly salary will be distributed on time at the end of the month. The adults told you to remember to bring your money bags."

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, and the place was in an uproar.

Where can I find a job out there that pays me this month?

......

As the sun and the moon change, spring is gradually coming.

In the printing house, Xu Zhubu, Wang Guangjin, Mo Qingwan and others were reporting the progress to Shen Zheng.

Wang Guangjin placed several blue books on the table and reported, "Sir, the decoration of the cloth shops in the county and the prefecture has been completed. The cloth and plaques will be transported to the cloth shops today. The goods will be sorted and stacked today and tomorrow, and the shop will open the day after tomorrow."

Xu Zhubu also took out a stack of official documents and said, "Sir, the decoration of the government office and the bookstores in each county has been completed. The books and plaques were shipped to the counties yesterday and will open the day after tomorrow."

Shen Zheng roughly looked through the blue book and official documents, and instructed: "The Japanese official who opened the business will stay in the county. Xu Zhubu, you go to Liuyang Bookstore to look after it, and Wang Guangjin and Qingwan go to Liuyang Cloth Shop."

Apart from Tongan County, the cloth shops and bookstores in Liuyang Prefecture are the largest today.

Therefore, on the opening day, people from Tongan County had to be present to help maintain order.

An hour later, Shen Zheng explained various precautions and asked them to be more careful so that if there were any emergencies, they would be able to come up with countermeasures in time.

The transportation of cloth and books was the responsibility of the county's carriage and horse company. In addition, each convoy transporting books was equipped with an additional constable and two escorts.

The escorts all come from Tongan Escort Agency.

The head of the escort agency is not a native of Tongan County, but came to Tongan County only last year.

But as early as last year, the other party bought a house in Tongan County, but his household registration was not moved there, or it was impossible to move it there. Tongan County is a hot commodity in the eyes of everyone, and if outsiders want to settle down, it is not enough to just buy a house.

It was not until mid-February this year that the county government posted a notice on the "Housing Purchase Restriction Order" and the "Talent Introduction" regulations. Seeing an opportunity, the escort leader immediately submitted an application for settlement.

After review by the county government, it was found that the escort leader met the "talent introduction" standards, so his application for settlement was approved. Now, he is a real "Tongan County resident".

If not for this, the important task of escorting the books would not have fallen on the escort agency.

After Xu Zhubu and his companions left, Shen Zheng leaned back in her chair and looked up at the trees and the sky.

There are countless young leaves on the branches, and every time a gust of wind blows, the young leaves will shake a few times.

"What are you thinking about?" Liang Fu asked her.

Shen Zheng twisted her neck, "I'm thinking... I don't know. It's just... before the cloth shop and bookstore opened, I felt that every day passed so slowly, and my mind was full of thoughts about opening soon, but when the day came... I always felt that it was a little unreal, as if everything was about to be settled."

Six months of hard work have finally paid off. Shen Zheng finds it hard to describe how she feels at this moment.

Liang Fu arranged the lenses and pushed the brackets in front of Shen Zheng. "Even if there are many difficulties ahead, I and the uncles will always be here. Okay, don't think too much. Didn't you say you would test my eyes today? My eyes are in for a treat."

As soon as the word "eye test" was mentioned, Shen Zheng became excited and immediately forgot about his melancholy.

The degree of each trial lens was calculated manually by her using the lens's focal power and focal length. This process was extremely complicated and the sadness she felt was beyond words.

And now, it’s finally time to test the results!

To show solemnity, Shen Zheng went to wash her hands.

Liang Fu asked her: "Should we burn some incense?"

......

Two days later, Liuyang Prefecture School.

The curtain of dawn quietly opened, the sky took on a deep blue-gray color, and rays of light gradually emerged from the clouds at the end of the east.

"It's a nice day today. It's light in the east so early."

The students walked in groups of three or four towards Liuyang Prefecture School. Some were talking in low voices, some were reading, and some were chewing breakfast.

"Brother Yang!" A handsome student holding a folding fan in one hand stepped forward quickly and asked a student he knew, "I heard that the prefect came to the prefectural school that day and kidnapped Zhou Xuezheng?"

"I heard about it, too!" Even though they were all scholars, they couldn't help but gossip: "I heard it was still raining at the time, and Zhou Xuezhen fainted when he ran away!"

"Yes, yes, yes, I heard that too. It was said that Zhou Xuezhen's front teeth were knocked out!"

"I heard that it was the prefect who personally sent Zhou Xuezheng to the clinic?"

Yang Ziran was surrounded by everyone and tried to speak many times, but was interrupted every time.

After everyone had contributed their ideas and had come up with eight explanations, Yang Ziran finally couldn't help it.

"Where did you hear that?" Seeing that they were almost at the gate of the prefectural school, Yang Ziran could no longer bear it. "The prefect just had something important to do and invited Xue Zheng to the government office! Xue Zheng didn't faint, nor was he sent to the hospital!"

"Oh——" The other students seemed to understand, "So did Xue Zheng fall down?"

"..."

"not talking?"

"That means falling!"

"What about the teeth?"

"Not speaking... that is..."

"No! I didn't fall off while learning orthodontics!"

Just as Yang Ziran was arguing his point, a strange figure walked past them.

The man had an upright posture, took big and steady steps, and his clothes were simple and special, as if they were made of a new material they had never seen before.

"What kind of material is his clothes wearing?" The students looked curious and started talking in whispers.

"I don't know. I've never seen this material before. It looks like linen but not linen, like silk but not silk. It's very special."

"Didn't they say that Tong'an Cloth Shop opened today? Could it be that the cotton clothes he was wearing were from the shop?"

"It's only a short time now! Even if the cloth shop was open, he couldn't buy clothes so quickly, and he even came to the government school!"

You know, the provincial school is quite a distance away from Xiyuan Street.

The students became more and more curious and couldn't help but follow each other.

After walking a few steps together, they discovered that the other party was also heading towards the prefectural school.

What a coincidence!

Yang Ziran was pushed out by the students. After hurriedly tidying up his clothes, he asked politely, "Brother, are you going to the prefectural school to look for someone?"

The other party paused, turned back and nodded, saying, "I'm looking for Zhou Xuezheng."

When they heard that the other party was looking for Zhou Xuezhen, the students' curious hearts began to beat again and they came forward to lead the way.

"Brother, we know the way. We'll take you to learn the main wife!"

In this way, they can see Xue Zheng and talk to him at the same time.

Kill two birds with one stone!
