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

When all the officials agreed with the "four-piece set", the Queen Mother and the Empress had already arrived at the box.

Nanny Chang picked up a pair of pillowcases and stood respectfully in front of the Empress Dowager and the Queen.

The Queen Mother reached out her hand and touched it lightly, and she felt the difference of the cotton cloth.

"Sir Shen." The Queen Mother felt the touch on the back of her hand and was slightly surprised. "This cotton cloth is even finer and softer than the ones I bought in Tongan County before."

These words were clearly referring to cotton cloth, but everyone heard another meaning.

——Her Majesty the Queen Mother, have you been to Tongan County?

——The Empress Dowager even bought cotton cloth in Tongan County herself!

No wonder, no wonder. No wonder they heard a few days ago that some cotton products suddenly appeared in the palace. They thought they were brought back by the Caoyunsi, but they didn’t expect it was brought back by the Empress Dowager!

No wonder the Empress Dowager is so close to Lord Shen. It turns out that the two of them have met before, and maybe even had a conversation in Tongan County!

The Queen Mother deliberately made this matter known to send a signal to all officials - Shen Zheng, she has her back!

If this matter was put on the former empress dowager, who is now the empress dowager's "mother-in-law", all the officials would just listen to it for fun.

But if the person were replaced by the current queen mother, no one would dare to treat it as a joke.

Because Your Majesty is really, really, really filial!

Among all the officials, no one dared to say a word against the Queen Mother in front of His Majesty, and no one dared to disobey her in the slightest.

Shen Zheng took in the expressions of all the officials.

"Your Majesty, you have a keen eye." She stepped forward and took the pillowcase from the Majesty's hand. "The cotton cloth you bought last time in Tongan County was 20-count cotton cloth, and the gifts presented by the cloth shop this time are all high-count cotton cloth of 60-count."

In modern times, 60-count cotton cloth is not actually considered high-count, it can only be considered above-average.

But in today's Zhou Dynasty, without high-speed fully automatic spinning machines, 60-count cotton is definitely high-count cotton.

"Gao Zhi?" The queen mother looked puzzled and looked at the pillowcase, "What is Zhi?"

Shen Zheng had already thought of the answer: "The count is the length of yarn that can be spun from the same weight of cotton. The longer the spinning length, the higher the count, which also means that the cotton thread is finer and the woven cotton cloth is more delicate and soft."

This explanation is easy to understand, and anyone who has seen spinning and weaving or not will roughly understand its meaning.

"I understand." The Queen Mother stroked the cloth twice. "The higher the count, the more difficult it is to spin and weave. The employees of the cloth shop are very thoughtful. I like this gift."

Shen Zheng smiled faintly.

It was the idea of ​​Xu Zhubu and Zhulizheng to weave these cotton products.

Looking back, when these cotton products were handed to her, the employees of the cloth shop were very embarrassed and said they were afraid that the Empress Dowager would not like them.

Now that she had received the Queen Mother's affirmative answer, she had to write a letter back and ask Xu Zhubu to tell the employees of the cloth shop.

In the next half moment, Shen Zheng introduced cotton pillows and cotton wool to everyone.

Cotton wool is used to make beds. It is breathable in summer, warm in winter, and not easy to collapse.

The style of the pillow was sewn by everyone in the cloth shop after consulting Li Shiyuan.

This type of pillow has a depression that fits the normal flat sleeping position. The back of the user's head can fit neatly into the depression, and the neck can also be supported.

Baiguan looked at the special pillow and touched his neck subconsciously.

The pillows they usually use are too high, so they often get stiff necks, and after falling asleep, they are often woken up by their own snoring.

But Tongan County sent this pillow...

Looks like he's sleeping well.

Without the Queen Mother saying anything, all the officials gathered around spontaneously.

Shen Zheng listened to what he said, and finally couldn't stand it anymore and raised her hand to comfort him: "My Lords, this pillow is very simple. As long as you have cotton, it's not difficult to make."

The officials were stunned.

Do they have to sew their own pillows?

"Of course, Tongan Cloth Shop will also launch this kind of pillow in the future." Shen Zheng's eyes moved slightly, and suddenly she thought of Li Shiyuan, "And there is also a doctor with good medical skills in Tongan County, his surname is Li, and this doctor Li once said..."

Before he could finish his words, Lu Fugong, the director of the National Medical Bureau, suddenly squeezed over.

His face was filled with excitement. He raised his hand and asked, "Sir Shen, are you talking about the doctor Li who went to Xingning Mansion?"

Shen Zheng nodded, "It is Doctor Li Shiyuan, sir, you..."

Lu Fugong then realized that he knew Shen Zheng, but Shen Zheng didn't know him at all.

"My surname is Lu." He looked at Shen Zheng seriously, "Your Majesty appreciated me and promoted me to be the director of the National Medical Bureau last year. Lord Shen, the transformation of the Imperial Hospital into the National Medical Bureau was inseparable from the efforts of you and Tong'an Medical Clinic!"

If Tong'an Medical Clinic had not come into being, he would still be just a supervisor of the Imperial Hospital.

And it's a suggestion without real power.

"It's Director Lu." Shen Zheng saluted and said, "Doctor Li from Tong'an Medical Clinic came to the capital with me this time. I wonder if he can..."

"Sir Shen, where is he?" Shen Zheng hadn't even finished her words when she was interrupted by Lu Fugong, who shouted, "Sir Shen, Doctor Li is a miracle doctor. Can I come to visit him tomorrow and discuss the medical case with Doctor Li?"

Shen Zheng was slightly stunned.

For a moment, she couldn't tell who was the head of the National Medical Bureau, Lu Fugong or Li Shiyuan...

Seeing Lu Fugong's eager eyes, Shen Zheng cut the Gordian knot: "Lord Lu, after I present the gift, I will discuss it with you in detail, okay?"

When Lu Fugong turned around, he was met with several dissatisfied looks. Then he realized that it was very rude of him to squeeze in to talk at this time.

"I am sorry for being rude." He turned to the emperor and the queen mother, lowered his head and said, "I was in a hurry and disturbed your majesty and the queen from watching the gifts. I hope your majesty will punish me."

The emperor chuckled, "You are also a doctor who is eager to do so. What are you punishing me for? Go down first."

Don't even mention punishment.

He wished that more court officials would get closer to Shen Zheng.

The more powerful Shen Zheng became in the court, the more comfortable he would feel as the emperor.

In the next half hour, Shen Zheng introduced the unboxing gifts one by one.

It was only then that all the officials realized that the box of books was not just some ordinary books, but a "declaration of war" by Shen Zheng declaring war on the aristocratic families.

The "Declaration of War" was not opened.

Because Shen Zheng asked them to look at the back of the book first.

Exactly the same handwriting, obvious book numbers, and almost humiliating pricing.

Shen Zheng was slapping the "declaration of war" directly in the faces of all the aristocratic families!

Some officials had gloomy faces, so dark that ink could be seen dripping from them.

Too arrogant.

This Shen Zheng is so arrogant!

These rare family copies and masterpieces handed down from generation to generation, no one knows where she got them and printed them. How dare she, how dare she let these masterpieces become cabbages for anyone to pick and choose!

The officials were reading books, and the emperor was watching them.

The emperor's sharp eyes swept across the faces of all the officials, and his brows gradually frowned.

Why does everyone he looks at...look like the murderer of Shen Qing?
