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

"General Yu, thank you for your help."

Under the shade of a tree, Yu Jiusi and Xue Maihe moved a piece of glass that was half a person's height and carefully placed it flat on the tablecloth.

After the glass was placed, Xue Mai breathed a sigh of relief, wiping his sweat as he said, "Sir Shen, this glass is scarier than a sword or a gun. I dare not even shake my hands, for fear of accidentally dropping it. Lang Jiang can only sell me to your county office!"

This morning was the first time he saw Liuli.

Only then did he realize that the lampshades in the county government office were not made of gems, but something called "colored glaze".

Besides, colored glaze can be made into more than just lampshades!

Cups, ornaments, jewelry, glasses, and even telescopes!

Only then did Xue Mai understand that Doctor Li had never told a single lie when he was in Changnan Prefecture.

Lady Shen is truly omnipotent!

Thinking of the thing called "telescope", Xue Mai's heart trembled, rubbing his hands and saying: "That... Lord Shen, look at this glass, I have put it away intact for you, that is, the telescope... Can you play with it again... No, observe it for a while!"

Yu Jiusi seemed to be drinking water, but his ears were honestly perked up.

He pretended to glance over casually.

Shen Zheng suppressed her laughter, pretended to check the glass on the table, and then nodded and said, "Okay. Sir Liang, please take two telescopes to General Yu and Captain Xue, and give them to them."

There are now five pairs of telescopes in the small warehouse in the blast furnace room, and this is the result of Shen Zheng and Liang Fu's "lack of effort".

If the two of them only focused on the telescope, they could make three or two pairs a day.

Yu Jiusi and Xue Mai looked at each other. Xue Mai swallowed his saliva and pointed at himself and said, "Sir Shen, you said... that you gave the telescope to me?"

Shen Zheng wanted to tease him when she saw him like this, so she said in embarrassment: "If Captain Xue doesn't want it, I won't force it on you. And General Yu, you..."

"I want it!" Yu Jiusi "grabbed" the telescope from Liang Fu's hand, "Sir Shen, please don't listen to Xue Mai's ignorant nonsense. Although I also think this gift is extremely valuable, but..."

He frowned and racked his brains to think, "But all the way to Shangjing, I will protect it well..."

"No." He felt that he had said the wrong thing.

Protecting them along the way was his duty as a soldier of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and it could not be considered a "return gift" at all.

Seeing Yu Jiusi's face gradually turn red, Shen Zheng stopped and said, "I was just joking. This is a gift for you, General Lang, and Captain Xue. Just like it."

Yu Jiusi subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, but he still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

Lady Shen is such a nice person that even Xue Mai can get free food from her.

After the two walked away with the telescope, Shen Zheng nodded to Liang Fu with a firm expression, "Master Liang, let's get started."

As the provincial examination was approaching and the departure for the capital was imminent, everyone spontaneously got busy today.

Xu Zhubu and Yu Zhengqing went to the provincial capital together. Yu Shizhang and Li Hongmao and others predicted the questions for the provincial examination. Shen Zheng and Liang Fu also began to catch up with the progress.

Today was a challenging day for all of them.

The two of them took out the tin liquid that had been prepared long ago, dipped a wool brush in it, and carefully applied it to the glass.

This process requires patience and a steady pair of hands.

......

It was sunny in the afternoon.

There were dots of sunlight shining through the shade of the trees. Shen Zheng was dozing off on a recliner when Old Qiao and Cheng Yu walked in.

"The frame is here!"

Shen Zheng suddenly opened her eyes, and the sleepiness in her eyes had not yet faded.

"It's here?" She wiped her face vigorously, propped herself up and touched the tin surface. "It's completely dry and can be framed. Mr. Qiao, just as I told you, when you put the mirror into the frame, you must be very careful not to damage the mirror."

She was so confident in the tin liquid she had mixed that she knew the mirror would be good even without looking at the other side.

But glass is fragile, not as fragile as jade. If one is not careful when framing it, what awaits them will be circles of spider webs.

Old Qiao was burdened with a heavy responsibility and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, "Don't worry, I'll use all my skills in this life. If the mirror is broken, I'll lose my job!"

Shen Zheng and Liang Fu made room for them, and then couldn't help but comfort them: "Don't be nervous, if it doesn't work, we can just paint it again."

Old Qiao glared, "Don't say discouraging words before starting work!"

There is a groove inside the frame. The master and apprentice need to align the edge of the mirror with the groove and then snap it in place one by one. After that, they can buckle up the back panel with the tripod.

This process seems simple, but it is the first attempt for everyone.

For a moment, everyone fell silent, leaving only the sound of mirrors moving and wood colliding.

With the final "click", the back panel was installed, and the entire mirror and frame fit perfectly together, as if they were one.

"Huh..." Old Qiao finally dared to breathe loudly. He looked at Shen Zheng with a smile and said loudly: "Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission!"

Cheng Yu sat down on the ground, and after a long while he asked, "Master Shen, is the other side of this glass really a mirror? Can it...reflect people?"

If such a large piece of glass can reflect people... wouldn't he be able to see his entire appearance clearly?

Shen Zheng shook the backboard tripod and said with a smile, "Stand it up and you'll know."

As she was speaking, Yu Jiusi and Xue Mai walked in.

The two of them walked around for a while, found a rope from somewhere, and hung the telescope around their necks. The sight made Shen Zheng dazed for a moment.

If she ignored the way they were dressed, she would have thought she had returned to her previous life.

Just as Xue Mai was about to speak, a beam of strong light flashed across his face, blinding him so much that he could not help but raise his hand and cover his eyes with his arm.

"What is that? It's so bright!" he exclaimed.

Shen Zheng raised a smile and looked at Yu Jiusi who was still in a daze. "Would you like to look in the newly made mirror in the county?"

Yu Jiusi was looking at "himself" in the mirror.

"Mirror?"

He moved his mouth, and the "Yu Jiusi" in the mirror also moved his mouth. The expressions and postures of both were exactly the same, and there was a hint of weirdness in the harmony.

It’s nothing, this mirror...is really too clear!

Yu Jiusi felt his scalp tingling. He couldn't help but look away and turned to look at Shen Zheng, "Master Shen, is this... a mirror?"

Is it a mirror made of glass?

So...big?

"It's a mirror." Shen Zheng took two steps forward, stood in front of the mirror, and blinked at herself in the mirror.

This is a full-length mirror, about one foot wide and five feet high, which can fully reflect a person's figure and clothing.
