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

Shen Mansion?

At first Shen Zheng thought it was Shen Xingjian’s mansion. It took her a while to realize that the emperor was talking about “Shen Zheng’s mansion”.

Shen Zheng also knew that the emperor's arrangement was a sign of great trust in her and a great respect for her.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The emperor shook his head and asked, "I heard from Ji Benchang that you found a new crop in your hiding place?"

The emperor was somewhat surprised by this.

Could it be that Shen Zheng was really a lucky star sent by the ancestors? Even if she was escaping to save her life, she escaped in a unique way and even received a "comfort reward" from the heavens.

Shen Zheng nodded: "I think the yield per mu of this crop is a bit high, but I am not sure yet. I will know the result only after the Ministry of Revenue has tried planting it."

The emperor thought for a moment and said, "Bring some into the palace tomorrow so that the queen and I can take a look."

Shen Zheng agreed.

Look, look, sweet potatoes are something that is impossible to exist in the Great Zhou Dynasty. No one can tell what's special about them.

Later the emperor asked how they got to the capital.

Shen Zheng answered truthfully: "General Yu later secretly contacted Lord Bo, but Lord Liang and Lord Shen had already set out to report to the capital. Lord Bo was afraid of alerting the enemy, so he left someone to pretend to continue searching for me, but in fact he brought me to the capital secretly."

The queen felt very distressed when she heard this.

By this calculation, Shen Zheng had been hiding for about half a month since she fell into the water, and her whereabouts were not revealed until she entered the palace.

How much hardship I had to endure along the way...

"Your Majesty." The queen covered the emperor's with her warm palm, "The truth has not yet surfaced, please send some people first..."

Before she could finish her words, her hand was held by the emperor.

The emperor asked Shen Zheng: "Shen Qing, you have met Yi Qun, what do you think of him?"

"As commander?" Shen Zheng was slightly surprised. "Your Majesty, as commander of the Yulin Army, your duty is to protect you and the palace..."

"I know the duties of the Yulin Army, so you don't need to recite them to me." The emperor interrupted her mercilessly: "I will send this person to you first. During your stay in the capital, he will lead people to protect your safety. Also, the private... no, county soldiers I promised you before, he will help you select the personnel, and try to make the team take shape before you leave the capital."

Shen Zheng shrank her fingers slightly when she heard that.

The emperor actually asked the commander of the Yulin Army to help her train her private soldiers?

In the eyes of those old imperial censors, wouldn't it be that she was trying to seize power and usurp the throne? !

"That's not good..." Shen Zheng pretended to refuse, "In fact, General Xiao Yu and Deputy General Xue are also very skilled in martial arts. I think..."

At this moment, the emperor felt a little angry when he heard Yu Jiusi's name.

If Yu Jiusi had not cleaned the boat, how could Yu Shizhang be assassinated and Shen Zheng fall into the river?

Not only did he fall into the river, but Shen Zheng also had to jump over to save him, a landlubber!

It would have been fine if they just rescued him, but he actually rolled his eyes and fainted, causing Shen Zheng to take him to hide from place to place, causing him to suffer a lot.

What a disgrace!

It was good enough that he didn't punish Yu Jiusi, how could he give such a good job of training troops to the other party?

"Just practice in groups." The emperor's tone allowed no room for rebuttal.

"But I also want to talk about you." He said again: "You can enter the capital secretly, but can you send someone to hurry up and report to me that you are safe? Do you know that I really think you..."

Who will repay him for the food he couldn't eat and the sleep he couldn't sleep?

Shen Zheng scratched his head and said, "It is my negligence that has caused you and the Queen to worry."

"Forget it." The emperor sighed silently, "I don't blame you. In the future, you will have your own soldiers under your command, and you will not be bullied by others. In fact, it is also because I was not thoughtful enough and sent insufficient people to pick you up."

In fact, he had a vague idea of ​​the murderer behind the assassination, but it still needed investigation and evidence from the three courts.

But there is no need to talk about things that have not been confirmed yet.

As they were talking, time passed and it was already the hour of Chou. The queen had been feeling unwell after two days of hard work, so she went to her bedroom to rest.

This is the coldest time of the day, and it is also the time when everything is truly quiet.

Eunuch Hong came in and changed the pot of tea for them, but he didn't dare to speak a word to urge them to finish.

The heavy topic gradually faded away, and Tianzi began to ask her about the making of telescopes and glasses.

It was unexpectedly difficult, so difficult that even the emperor couldn't understand it.

I don't understand anything about focal length, refraction, etc.

But he is proud.

Just don’t understand.

After all, he was the one who chose her.

He asked about everything, from colored glaze to composite bows, from composite bows to levers, from levers to cement, from cement to iron ore, from iron ore to iron smelting at the Salt and Iron Bureau, from iron smelting to papermaking, from papermaking to arithmetic, from arithmetic to limestone, from limestone to movable type printing...

He asked a series of seemingly unrelated questions.

Shen Zheng's throat was sore from talking that Eunuch Hong was called in to change two pots of tea.

The emperor asked questions like a curious man, but he didn't ask what was in the remaining two boxes.

Instead, Shen Zheng was the first to get impatient: "Aren't you curious? Those two unopened boxes."

The emperor pursed his lips and said, "I'm not curious. I'll know when I go to court tomorrow."

If they are all surprises, why pile them together?

The surprise is over in an instant, so wouldn’t many feelings be diluted?

Shen Zheng gave a thumbs up in her heart.

He is worthy of being the ultimate superior. This mentality needs to be learned.

But what the superiors didn't know was that the contents of one of the boxes were even less suitable for publicity than the telescope. Shen Zheng even felt that it was not appropriate to display it at tomorrow's morning court.

After thinking about it, she couldn't help but suggest: "Your Majesty, one of them can be called a weapon of war."

The emperor's eyes shone, "How good is it?"

Shen Zheng thought for a moment and said implicitly, "It's probably a bit sharper than the sword you forged for three years, Your Majesty."

As soon as he finished speaking, the emperor stood up abruptly, his eyes trembling, and the fingertips on the table turned white.

His sword was made of steel which took the Ministry of Works three years to forge.

That's steel!

Compared with ordinary iron swords, steel swords can even be called "indestructible".

But at this time, the county magistrate he appointed said that she could produce something sharper than steel...

The emperor's mind was a little confused, and he even felt that Shen Zheng was trying to make him happy.

After Shen Zheng lowered her head in silence for a while, she raised her eyes and looked at him.

Although she didn't say anything, the emperor immediately understood the meaning of her eyes - she was really not joking.

A huge shock swept through the emperor's heart. For a moment, the two of them looked at each other in silence, and only the sound of breathing was left in the hall.

After a long while, the emperor asked tentatively in a trembling voice: "Before you leave the capital, can you...carve a large amount of it?"

Shen Zheng was surprised by his sharpness, but still nodded affirmatively: "With the full cooperation of the Ministry of Industry, we can."

The breathing above her head became more rapid.

In the end, the sound of rapid breathing turned into loud laughter, which was so loud that the lights in the hall began to tremble and the queen who was sleeping soundly in the bedroom frowned.

"It is a great honor for our Great Zhou..." He said with a smile, "Let's present them to the palace tomorrow so that everyone can have a good look. After everyone has taken a good look, I will..."

The emperor didn't finish the rest of his words.

But vaguely, Shen Zheng seemed to see tears in the corners of his eyes.
