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

"Master Shen, these are the best vegetables selected by our village. Take them with you on the road!"

——"No more room, no more room, the cabin is almost full! I appreciate your kindness, please take it back quickly."

"Master Shen! Pickled meat! And the fish you gave us last time, we couldn't bear to eat it, so it's all here, you can take it and eat it! We heard that taking a boat is more tiring than driving, so you must not lose weight during this journey..."

——"Who told you not to eat it! Take it back quickly and eat it tonight!"

"Sir Shen, you went to Shangjing this time. Will you come back... Will His Majesty the Emperor keep you in Shangjing as an official?"

——"Come back, come back. I will be back after the birthday banquet. All of you should be well. Look after the county well. I will inspect it when I come back!"

"Sir Shen, wuwuwu, I... wuwuwu, I can't bear to leave you... If you are not in the county, what should we do..."

When one person started to cry, the whole scene got out of control. The "wailing" sound continued and Shen Zheng couldn't comfort him/her anymore.

In the end, it was Wu Lizheng, with red eyes, who struck the gong.

"What a crying mess you are in! Your Excellency's going to the capital is a blessing to the entire Tongan County. If you keep crying, you will lose all the blessings and bring bad luck to you later! Smile! Smile for Benli Zheng! Do you understand?"

When everyone heard the phrase "crying will bring bad luck to you", their breath was stuck in their throat.

They couldn't hold back their tears, but they didn't dare cry out loud, so they had to fold their hands and cover their mouths tightly.

Can you not be sad?

In this year, when have they been separated from adults for so long?

This feeling...is like their parents are about to go on a long journey, and they become the "left-behind children" at home, pitiful, lonely and helpless.

"Sir..." Several village heads explained the reasons clearly, but their eyes were still as red as rabbits.

They walked towards Shen Zheng with pursed lips. Zhou Lizheng's facial muscles trembled for a moment, and he forced a smile, wanting to cry but not crying.

"Sir, don't worry about us. We will take good care of the village. On your journey... you must eat and drink well, and go well, well... Wuwu, Brother Wu, wuwu, I can't take it anymore, you should say it..."

As he was talking, his face was covered with snot and he pushed Wu Lizheng, who was quietly crying, out. Wu Lizheng couldn't even stand steadily and was hurriedly wiping his tears.

Shen Zheng wanted to cry and laugh at the same time, so she stopped them with a smile and scolding: "Alright, alright, you're still talking about others. You are all village heads, so don't make me worry. Well, just like you said, it's a great thing for me to attend the Queen Mother's birthday, so don't cry! Let me go happily and come back happily! Just like that, I'm leaving!"

After that, she made a trumpet shape with her hands and shouted to everyone, "I'm leaving now. Wait for me to come back!"

The dock was a bit noisy and chaotic, and she didn't know how many people heard it.

After he finished speaking, Shen Zheng no longer looked at the expressions of the crowd. He turned his back, waved, and strode towards the ship.

She didn't dare stay any longer.

The dock suddenly became quiet. After a moment of silence, what Shen Zheng heard was everyone's most sincere prayers.

"Bon voyage, sir. We will be waiting for your return!"

Shen Zheng paused slightly and her shoulders shook imperceptibly.

Xu Zhubu was still following behind her, and when she stepped onto the platform and was about to board the ship, he finally stopped.

"Sir." He said softly to Shen Zheng's back, "I will wait for you to come back."

Shen Zheng couldn't help but turn around. She looked at Xu Zhubu for a long time, pursed her lips and said, "Take good care of the county, and... take good care of yourself, Xiao Xu."

Xu Zhubu smiled and pointed to the top of the boat, "My Lord, they are waiting for you, sir... go quickly."

Shen Zheng looked up and saw everyone on the boat looking at her.

They waved at her, asking her to hurry up, and she stepped onto the boat with firm steps.

After a brief dizziness, the ship set sail. Shen Zheng suppressed the discomfort, holding the railing tightly with her fingers, her fingertips turning white.

Once the boat started sailing, it was difficult to stop or turn around. She finally dared to lie on the railing and look at the people on the dock again.

They cried, they waved, they followed the ship closely, they...

Chase the boat.

At the dock, they followed the direction of the ship, starting with a slow walk, then gradually moving quickly, and finally running.

Shen Zheng blinked, trying to see everyone's face more clearly.

In the crowd, she saw the elder sister who brought her porridge, the aunt who stuffed fruit into her mouth, the people in the county government office, the head of the village with his mouth wide open, the students of the county school, Man Niang, Wang Guangjin, Mo Qingwan, and Ba Lezhan and Diwu Tanwei.

She also saw a lot of people.

Every face she had seen in Tongan County seemed to be among them.

Anyway, they are so far apart, Shen Zheng thought.

Even if she shed tears, they couldn't see it, and it wouldn't damage her dignity as a county magistrate... Oh no, the title of Inspector of the Ministry of Works.

Tears rolled down her cheeks and fell into the river, making almost invisible splashes.

She raised her hands high and waved them wildly in the air.

The boat went faster and faster, and the people on the dock gradually turned into small black dots until they disappeared.

"Sister Shen." At some point, Yu Nanshu and others stood beside her.

Yu Nanshu was silent for a moment, took out a handkerchief from her bosom and gave it to her, grinning: "We will be back in a few months, and by then, Tongan County will still be the same Tongan County, so don't cry."

Crying in front of younger people is a very "undignified" thing to do.

Shen Zheng took the handkerchief, wiped the tears off her face, raised her lips and said, "You also understand, the atmosphere has been set to this extent...right, I can't help crying."

As soon as he finished speaking, the ship shook and Shen Zheng's face turned pale again.

"vomit--"

She swallowed her saliva and waved her hand, "No, let's not talk about it for now. I'm afraid I'll vomit if I open my mouth..."

Shen Zheng had long expected that she would get seasick. After all...she even got seasick in a carriage.

She leaned back against the fence and looked off into the distance, trying to match her body movements with her visual movements to reduce the motion sickness.

But... the effect is minimal.

Fortunately, the journey was not far. They only needed to dock at Liuyang Wharf and they would be there in no time.

On the way, Yu Shizhang and the others also leaned against her, looked towards the direction of Tongan County and sighed: "Just now... was there no one shedding tears for us?"

Come to think of it, they have stayed in Tongan County for such a long time. What an ungrateful person!
