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

As the sun gradually rose higher, several crew members jumped off the deck. Most of them were visiting Tongan County for the first time, and they looked around curiously after getting off the boat.

"There are so many people..."

“So many officials…”

There were so many people that they couldn't even look far away, nor could they take in the appearance of Tongan County.

"Don't just stand there!" Wang Ruqian frowned and called out, "Take down the buckets on the boat first, fill them with water and then unload the fresh goods. Move quickly!"

After that, he looked at Shen Zheng cheerfully, "Sir Shen, there is a large wooden barrel on the boat, which is used to unload fish, but this barrel..."

Shen Zheng nodded in understanding, "I understand. You have to return it after use."

Fish are naturally born and raised, so Shui Yu won't lose much money by giving away the fish, but those big wooden barrels are not cheap at all.

But if the county government kept two thousand kilograms of fresh fish and three thousand kilograms of dried fish and shrimp for consumption, how could they be finished?

Especially those fresh fish, if they are not kept in a pond, they will all die in a few days.

Moreover, when Your Majesty sent the fish, it was definitely not because you wanted the county government to have the whole thing.

Shen Zheng and Yu Shizhang exchanged secret signals and waved to call over several village heads.

It was the first time for several people to see a large ship unloading, and their eyes were almost glued to the crew. Shen Zheng coughed lightly and said, "Don't just stand there, each of you count the households in the village, send all the ox carts, donkey carts, and mule carts in the village to the village entrance, and each of you pull the fish back and share it with everyone to taste."

"Oh, divided..." The village head responded first, then turned around and realized what was happening, exclaiming, "Sir, you mean to divide all of these?!"

"It's divided." Shen Zheng nodded and said loudly to the people who were gathered around to watch the excitement: "Fellow villagers! Go home and prepare the basins. His Majesty and the Lord of the Canal Transport Bureau are treating us to fish!"

The pier, which was bustling just a moment ago, suddenly became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

The people opened their mouths wide and looked at the fish jumping around in the nets in the crew's hands, their eyes wide open.

"Those fish...will you share them with us?"

"Is this the point? Didn't you hear clearly? Those are the fish that His Majesty has gifted to our county! His Majesty...invited us to eat fish!"

"Oh my god, does His Majesty the Emperor know us?!"

"How shameless of you! His Majesty sent the fish over only for your sake!"

"Are there any sea fish? I just heard from adults that there are dried fish on the boat behind! What do you think sea fish taste like?"

"What are you standing there for! Go home! Zhou Lizheng, are we going to come over to catch fish? Our new mule is very strong! Let it pull!"

"Oh, your family even bought a mule? You are living an extraordinary life."

"Well, my wife insisted on buying one. She said that if we had a mule and a cart, we could go to the capital and see the world."

"If you ask me, our Tongan County is the real 'world'!"

The county residents chatted and laughed, followed their respective village heads and left in an orderly manner, and even discussed how to cook the fish.

It is true that there is a big river in Xiahe Village, but the river is fast-flowing and few people dare to go down to the river to catch fish. Some people have thought about using nets to catch fish, but nets are not cheap and sometimes they are smashed to pieces by the river water as soon as they turn around.

I don’t know if there is a knife under the water.

"I'm so envious..."

A fat black crewman looked at the people of Tongan and skillfully scooped the fish into the bucket. A splash of water hit him in the face.

"What are you envious of?" The old sailor beside him asked him while working, "Are you envious of them for having fish to eat? Aren't we seeing enough fish on the boat? To be honest, I'm not interested in the smell..."

"Of course I'm not envious of them for having fish to eat." The fat black crewman fished out the fish with its belly turned upside down and put it in another bucket. "Does your county magistrate have fish? Will he share some with you?"

"How shameless am I?" The old sailor used the words he had just learned, "It's good enough that our county magistrate doesn't allow us to go down to the river to catch fish for him."

After saying that, he suddenly laughed and looked at the thin figure.

"You're right. The people of Tongan County seem to be somewhat enviable."

These fish could be sold at a low price, used as rewards, or given as gifts to build relationships, but County Magistrate Shen turned around and distributed them to the people.

On the other side, Diwu Tanwei stood in front of Shen Zheng and the others. The river breeze ruffled her hair and blew up her sleeves, but it could not blow away the smile on her face.

Balezhan got goose bumps all over his body when he saw this smile.

He always felt that this woman's smile was so creepy...

"Sir Shen." Diwu Tanwei tucked his hair behind his ears, took a stack of documents from the crew, and was the first to congratulate: "I wish Tongan Wharf a great opening, and Xinjin a good start."

Ba Lezhan and Fang Wenxiu looked at each other, coughed lightly and said, "Sir Shen, I remember that I still have some things to deal with Master Fang. Let's go talk first and come back later..."

After saying this, without waiting for Shen Zheng to speak, the two of them acted like good brothers and slipped away.

In this way, those who stayed here were all "insiders" of the Tongan County Government.

Shen Zheng looked at the two ships, one large and one small, and said directly: "Fifth Chief Clerk, it is enough that you have the heart to come and congratulate me. This gift is too valuable, and I cannot accept it."

Diwu Tanwei held a set of documents in each hand and looked at Shen Zheng and Yu Shizhang, "Sir Shen, Master, to be honest, this gift was actually the idea of ​​my grandfather. In fact, as early as last year, my family prepared these two ships, and they docked at Liuyang Wharf after the New Year, just waiting for today."

Shen Zheng was slightly surprised.

Yu Shizhang looked calm, as if he had expected this. "The old fellow is already in his seventies and eighties, and he finally got wise. But does this... count as bribing an official appointed by the imperial court?"

Diwu Tanwei hesitated and slowly handed over the document in his left hand, "Well, Uncle. Grandfather said that this boat... was bought by you."

But there are many ways to buy things, and it is not necessary to pay with gold or silver.

Yu Shizhang was "living in Tongan County, but his debts came from the capital."

He laughed angrily, "How come Ben Bo doesn't know that Ben Bo's family is so rich? Or in the eyes of that old fellow Diwu Nazheng, one of Ben Bo's calligraphy and paintings is worth two ships?"

In fact, it was about a calligraphy and painting.

Diwu Nazheng knew that Shen Zheng had just entered the officialdom and had to protect her reputation, and he was also afraid that she would not be able to bear some things, so he changed his way and gave the title to Yu Shizhang.

But doesn't Yu Shizhang care about his wings? !

Good thing, Shen Zheng took it, but Yu Shizhang had to endure the infamy?

Is it possible to treat an old man so unfairly?
