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

Outside the blast furnace room, there is a simple pavilion, which Wu Quan built specially for Shen Zheng.

He remembered that Shen Zheng liked to bask in the sun under the shade of trees.

The location of this pavilion was very well chosen. In the afternoon when the sun is at its strongest and shines obliquely on people, the pavilion cannot block the light, but the shade of the tree happens to be right above, thus playing a role.

In this way, only a few rays of sunlight pass through the shade of the trees and are scattered on the side of the pavilion, bright but not too hot.

Wei Que waited in the pavilion for a while, playing with the glassware on the table.

When Shen Zheng came over, she looked at him again and again.

Finally, Wei Que couldn't help it, raised his eyes and asked: "Have you forgotten me? No, it's a bit tempting to say so, I'll change my words..."

"Have you forgotten that I am still in Tongan County?"

"How can it be!"

With a "ding" sound, Shen Zheng placed the grape glass jar on the table, lifted up her robe and sat down, saying, "It's been a while since I last saw you, and I feel like you've changed."

"How can it not change? This is called haggardness." Wei Que took the jar of raisins without hesitation and began to chew them: "I have been trying to stop the ship morning and night these days. I can't even tell what time it is now."

Shen Zheng nodded in understanding, "You've worked hard, but please eat less, there's not much left. Next time you go, bring more for the county, the cheaper ones will do."

"Then what are you going to do with it?" Wei Que rolled his eyes and continued chewing: "I miss this, don't be so stingy, I'll give you two kilograms next time."

"Okay." Shen Zheng nodded.

It is now March.

In fact, the pier could have been built before.

When the pier was first built, it was estimated that it would be put into use during the Chinese New Year.

But after Wei Que came back, he directly raised the "level" of the dock. Those things that Shen Zheng originally thought were "okay" became "inferior" and "junk" in Wei Que's eyes.

So the dock was changed and tried again and again.

"You came here today because the dock is ready?" Shen Zheng asked.

"Okay." Wei Que still held the jar in his arms and interrupted, "Sell some of these jars to me when the time comes. They will be perfect for loading salt on the ship, so that the cooks won't use the salt's poor quality as an excuse all day long."

He added, "Now that the wharf is usable, we still need to offer sacrifices as per custom to ensure safe navigation. The county should choose a date, the earlier the better. When the purchasing boats arrive, I will take my men to Ximi Prefecture again to pick more cotton."

He has been staying in Tongan County for more than a month.

Tongan County had become the office of the Grain Transport Bureau in "Liuyang Prefecture". Whenever there was something going on, people from the Grain Transport Bureau would come to Tongan County to find him.

But in fact, for inland waterway transportation, the most important thing is to be busy for two or three months every year - transporting tax grain after the autumn harvest.

But it is March now, so it is also the quietest few months for the Caoyun Bureau, otherwise he would not be able to stay in Tongan County all the time.

"I'll ask Xu Zhubu to look up the almanac later, and then go to Quanyang Temple to ask the abbot." Shen Zheng said, and suddenly stood up, "I made a thank-you gift for you. I wanted to give it to you on the day of the wharf sacrifice, but since you came here in person today, it's not appropriate for you to go back empty-handed, so I'll give it to you now."

When Wei Que heard that there was a gift, all his fatigue disappeared immediately.

He put down the raisin jar, stood up and asked, "What's the thank you gift?"

You know, anything that Shen Zheng makes personally and dares to be used as a gift must be good.

"Just wait." Shen Zheng motioned him to sit back down, "I'll go get it. Wait a moment."

Wei Que couldn't sit still. After Shen Zheng left, he paced back and forth in the pavilion, wondering what the "thank you gift" was.

Glass lamps?

It's good, but what's the point of giving him a big and rough one? It's painful to see him fall.

Cotton clothes?

Now that he was wearing them, cotton clothes weren't so rare anymore.

still......

Wei Que’s eyes widened.

Could it be that Shen Zheng wrote him a "letter of praise" and was waiting to give it to His Majesty after returning to Beijing?

Your Majesty...will he fall for this?

With excitement and anxiety, Wei Que finally waited for Shen Zheng to come back. With Shen Zheng came Liang Fu, who had a wooden frame hanging on his head.

"You..." Wei Que was puzzled, and looked at Liang Fu curiously, and asked: "Why do you hang two pieces of colored glaze in front of you? You are not a little girl..."

And this doesn’t look good either.

"You don't understand, do you?" Liang Fu sat down next to him and handed the wooden frame to him. "This is called glasses. Adjust, adjust... adjust what?"

How could he suddenly forget the words he said every day?

"Vision." Shen Zheng continued.

"Yes, yes, yes." Liang Fu motioned Wei Que to put on the glasses and boasted, "You'll know if you try it. It's very clear."

Wei Que was half-believing and half-doubting.

If you cover your eyes with something, can you still see more clearly than if you don't cover your eyes with anything?

He imitated Liang Fu's previous move and slowly placed the legs of the glasses on his ears, with the middle frame hanging on the bridge of his nose.

"Hiss——" As soon as he put it on, he blinked hard and took a breath of cold air.

Liang Fu thought he had seen the effect, and boasted: "How is it, isn't this thing good? It was made by Lord Shen and me. After wearing it, you can see things clearly!"

After a long while, he didn't receive any praise from Wei Que and looked over in confusion.

Wei Que took off his glasses and said with his eyelids tightened: "I'm going to vomit..."

Shen Zheng burst out laughing.

Liang Fu took the glasses back with a distressed look, put them back on his ears, blinked and said, "It's right, why don't I want to vomit?"

Almost the next moment, he reacted and asked Wei Que: "Are your eyesight very good? Can you see clearly both near and far?"

"Yes." Wei Que rubbed his temple and looked at Shen Zheng with an expression of resignation: "Sir Shen, this is not your thank-you gift to me, is it? This is simply a torture device. After wearing it, my eyes are swollen and I can't see clearly. I feel dizzy."

He asked Liang Fu again: "How come you are fine? You still treat this thing as a treasure."

Liang Fu sighed, "I thought your eyesight wasn't very good, so you wanted to show off, but it was a waste of time. You know what, this little thing is a big treasure for us old guys."

After the glasses were made, he showed them off to almost all the old guys in the yamen who could show off.

The person who reacted the most and made him most satisfied was Yu Shizhang.

Almost the next day, a pair of identical glasses appeared on Yu Shizhang's head.

The two of them went to look for Mr. Qiao together.

On the third day, the three of them went to look for Li Shiyuan again.

Then today, he thought the opportunity had come again.
