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

Ji Benchang no longer had the mood to eat, only Shen Zheng would occasionally pick up a piece of food with his chopsticks.

Many officials drank wine. When the wine in the jug was finished and they wanted to drink more, they were told by the palace servants: "Please forgive me, Your Majesty said that the wine is limited today, and you... must not drink more."

In fact, the emperor was just afraid that they would drink too much and forget what they had seen.

The official who asked for wine froze in his tracks and waved his hand to signal the palace servants to leave.

He shouted: "Something big is going to happen later. This Lord Shen is really... one thing after another."

I could hear a hint of expectation in the words of disdain.

When they looked at Shen Zheng, they also saw Ji Benchang, whose face was red and full of disbelief.

"I don't know what Lord Shen said to Old Ji. He looks so scared. If you don't know, you would think Lord Shen is going to report him tomorrow."

At this point, the official was suddenly stunned.

——Shen Zheng holds the sixth rank and cannot attend the morning court.

But why did he feel that the other party would definitely come to court?

Shaking his head, he looked at several foreign envoys again.

The reactions of those people were almost the same as those of the officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty - they took a few bites of the food and glanced at Shen Zheng.

Especially the officials from the Arabs and Japan, their eyes were all glued to Shen Zheng.

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw the blue-eyed Arab envoy holding up the wine cup and walking towards Shen Zheng.

"What is he doing!"

I don't know where the protective complex came from, but it sprouted in secret.

Shen Zheng watched Wai Guoren standing in front of her.

Are you here to have a drink with her?

"Lord Shen." As the other person moved, the accessories on his body also shook, which was eye-catching.

I only heard him say: "My surname is Lanqi, I am a Dashi Guoren, my name is..."

"What are you doing?" Yu Shizhang and Ji Benchang asked in unison.

The Arab envoy was stunned, and looked at the two of them in confusion: "Speak to Lord Shen."

Ji Benchang wanted to say, "Who cares who you're talking to?", but when he thought of the "great power style", he held back and said, "Messenger, I have something important to discuss with Lord Shen."

The Arab envoy acted as if he didn't hear anything and looked at Shen Zheng with a smile.

Shen Zheng smiled back and raised the iced yogurt cup towards him, "Messenger, I do have something important to discuss with the Minister, and I cannot drink alcohol, so I will use yogurt... instead of wine."

After saying that, she scooped a spoonful for herself.

The Arab envoy smiled even more and took a sip of wine. "I salute Lord Shen. Lord Shen, do you want to go to the Arab War? I have a lot of Arab wars..."

"..."

Just when Shen Zheng was about to open his mouth to refuse, several officials suddenly got up and walked over. Some military generals even put their arms around the shoulders of the Arab envoy like they were good brothers and took him away.

Faintly, Shen Zheng heard them say, "Let's play with the envoy and have fun! Come, let's play the mirror game first!"

Then, the dissatisfied voice of the Arab envoy came: "Let me go, I can leave."

After seeing the person leave, Ji Benchang moved his mouth as if he was sending a telegram.

Shen Zheng smiled and said, "Sir Shangshu, I want to take some of the crops back to Tongan County to plant, and let your Ministry of Revenue do the experiment on the rest. After all, your Ministry of Revenue has many experimental fields and enough manpower to better record the growth of crops. Do you think...is that ok?"

Ji Benchang glared at her and asked, "Are you willing to give it to the Ministry of Revenue?"

Shen Zheng was stunned. "If there are good things, shouldn't we hand them over to the country?"

What a simple sentence...

Ji Benchang couldn't help being moved.

But he really doesn't believe that there are any crops that can produce several thousand kilograms per mu.

After pondering for a moment, Ji Benchang asked, "Master Shen, where was the crop found? Do you remember the exact location?"

Shen Zheng hissed and tried to recall the past: "I don't remember it very clearly. I was afraid of being discovered by the pursuers, so I dragged General Yu around in many twists and turns. I didn't know where we ended up. After we dug the land and hid it in batches, I wanted to find the land again, but I couldn't remember where it was. Now that I think about it, it's really strange. I'm sorry, Lord Shangshu, I'm useless..."

After saying that, Shen Zheng lowered his head in frustration.

In fact, she was not afraid of Ji Benchang going to look for her.

Besides her, the pursuers might have been to that area.

It has been more than ten days since the incident. Who can say for sure whether the ground has been dug up by others?

Maybe those pursuers wanted to dig deep into the ground to find her?

Seeing her blaming herself so much, Ji Benchang was too embarrassed to ask any more questions. He even comforted her instead: "It's okay, it's okay. Although the yield of this crop is very... hard to believe, it's a good thing that you brought it back. We can find out the real yield per mu through experiments. Master Xiao Shen, don't blame yourself too much."

Before Shen Zheng could reply, he continued, "But we still need to send someone to investigate that place to see if there are still such crops there."

Shen Zheng nodded, "That's what I think. If we can find it, that would be the best."

The food on the table was still hot. Ji Benchang was thinking about the possibility of "six thousand kilograms" while letting Shen Zheng eat the food.

Six thousand jin...

He didn't even dare to tell anyone else.

But what was the point of Shen Zheng lying to him? To fool him for a while and then wait for him to be exposed?

This is not just looking for trouble.

But if the yield per mu is really 6,000 kilograms...

Just thinking about it, Ji Benchang's breathing became rapid, and his heart felt like it was being hit by a heavy hammer.

No, he has to see the thing quickly.

"Master Xiao Shen, are you free tomorrow?" he asked.

Shen Zheng thought for a moment and said, "I think there should be one, but I don't know if His Majesty will summon him."

Ji Benchang thought for a moment and said, "If you are free, please send someone to tell me that I will send a car to pick you and the crops up."

In Shen Zheng's ears, this sentence automatically became - "This official takes over the business."

She readily agreed.

Just as I raised my chopsticks to pick up some food, Yue Zhenchuan came over again.

Shen Zheng quickly stood up and saluted: "Sir, the Minister."

Looking around, all the officials in the palace were of the fifth rank and above. She had to bow to anyone who came to see her, let alone the Shangshu.

"Go, go, go." Yu Shizhang and Ji Benchang seemed to be in a hurry and waved their hands, saying, "Let them eat first."

Yue Zhenchuan stared.

What do you mean?

It's ok for you two to share the table. Can't I just say a few words?

He doesn't!

He pushed Ji Benchang aside with his buttocks, picked up the wine cup with a smile and said, "Little Shen, sit down. I'll drink the wine, and you can just drink the iced cheese."

Xiao Shen?

Shen Zheng tilted her head to look at him, and he continued, "You recognize me, right? My surname is Yue, my name is Zhenchuan, and I am the Minister of Works. Haha, come to think of it, I am also your direct subordinate."

Although this was not the first time Shen Zheng heard his name, she still wanted to sigh: What a resounding name.

"Your Excellency's name is well-known." Shen Zheng bowed again, "Thank you, Lord Shangshu, for your appreciation and for giving me the opportunity to work in the Ministry of Works. I will report to the Ministry of Works tomorrow."

"Sit down and eat." Yue Zhenchuan asked her to sit down again and said with a smile: "You have been traveling all the way and are tired. You don't have to rush to report to the Ministry of Industry. I came to find you just to have a few words with you."

Listen to this art of speaking, this old leader.
