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

Xiao Yuan gritted his teeth.

He wanted to drive those people away right now and not even let them enter the county government gate!

But he couldn't do that, because his actions would affect the reputation of the entire Tongan County.

When people from other counties come to visit, they turn them away, and if the news gets out, it will be disadvantageous to them.

Xiao Yuan had no choice but to suppress the anger in his heart, and then asked Shen Zheng:

"Sir, it's clear these people have bad intentions! How should we deal with them?"

Shen Zheng smoothed her robe and said to Xiao Yuan with a smile: "You guys go do what you need to do, I'll take care of everything."

Everyone in the county government office suddenly felt reassured.

Yes, the adults are so powerful, and with her here, what do they have to be afraid of?

Although Xiao Yuan was not worried about their safety, he still wanted to stay for such a big event. He asked again:

"Sir, can I not go on patrol today? I want to stay in the yamen."

Shen Zheng shook her head and rejected Xiao Yuan's proposal.

If they acted as if they were facing a formidable enemy today, they would be at a disadvantage.

Obviously, the initiative is in their hands, so they cannot let anyone see the slightest fear in them.

She patted Xiao Yuan on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I'll send someone to find you if anything happens."

The "something" that Shen Zheng mentioned certainly couldn't be a bad thing.

How could she suffer any loss?

Seeing her firm attitude, Xiao Yuan had no choice but to stop talking. He picked up his weapon and went out the door with another constable.

When he went out, he looked around as if he didn't care, but he didn't see any trace of the constable.

The man just now was probably just a scout.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yuan became angry again. The explorers were so arrogant!

Today, my Lord must give those people a good lesson.

After Shen Zheng saw Xiao Yuan leave, she began to give instructions to the rest of the people.

"Everything should be done. When the food is ready, let the villagers come in to collect the food coupons."

Seeing how calm she was, everyone calmed down and started moving tables, chairs and benches according to her instructions.

Li Hongmao specially moved the only armchair in the yamen to Shen Zheng and placed it in the pavilion.

Shen Zheng chuckled when she saw his actions.

This is because he doesn't want her to lose face later.

Shen Zheng thanked him for his kindness, but she knew in her heart that a chair alone could not make a person gain or lose momentum.

The chair can only play a supporting role.

If you really want to stand up straight and not lose to others, you still have to rely on the chips in your hand.

As for how to use this bargaining chip, it is up to her.

Seeing her master bringing her a chair as if to welcome a guest, Fang Ziyan followed suit and went back to her room to take out a set of white porcelain tea sets and a can of elegantly packaged tea.

He walked up to Shen Zheng and placed the tea set and tea leaves on the stone table.

"Master Shen, here you go, I brought these from home. My eldest brother said these are all good things."

Shen Zheng felt very relieved when she saw his confused yet sincere look.

She wanted to teach him how to behave in society, so she asked:

"Do you know why your master brought me this chair?"

Fang Ziyan tilted his head, frowned slightly, thought for a moment and replied, "You just said that an impolite guest came to visit."

Shen Zheng smiled when she heard this. What kind of answer was this?

She then asked, "What does it have to do with the chair if there are rude guests? I can sit anywhere, right?"

Fang Ziyan frowned again. This question was a bit difficult for him.

Because in the past when he was at home, if the guests were impolite, they would not even be allowed to enter his house.

Although he couldn't answer, he didn't want Shen Zheng to look down on him. After all, this was his first day as a teacher.

So he answered randomly: "There is only one chair. If you sit on it, you can only punish those people by making them sit on the ground!"

Shen Zheng chuckled. If she had met such a stupid person in the past, she would have probably suffered from stupidity syndrome.

But for some reason, every time Fang Ziyan did this, she just thought he was so cute.

Is this Xiaopang’s filter?

She raised her hand and touched Fang Ziyan's head, and said to him softly:

“If you want to behave yourself and not fall behind others, the key is momentum.”

Fang Ziyan naturally didn't quite understand what he said. He pursed his lips and continued to look at Shen Zheng in confusion.

Shen Zheng went on to explain, "What is power? Just now, that constable came knocking on the door alone, and your little brother Yuan went to open the door. The man didn't speak to him, but just nodded. He wanted to use power to suppress your little brother Yuan."

Fang Ziyan's eyes lit up, he seemed to understand something!

Seeing that he seemed to understand, Shen Zheng continued to ask:

"When your father was at home, would he go out to greet guests in person?"

Fang Ziyan answered without thinking: "Except for the county magistrate of Quanyang County, my father has never gone to greet anyone else!"

Shen Zheng extracted some information from this sentence.

That is his Fang family's business, which may have some relationship with the Quanyang County Magistrate.

If it is simply a relationship between officials and businessmen, they would rarely meet at home. Firstly, they are afraid of gossip from outsiders, and secondly, which businessman would want an official to know his financial situation?

However, she did not ask Fang Ziyan. Although Fang Ziyan would definitely not lie to her, he could know something.

It would be easier to ask Fang Wenxiu directly after getting familiar with the Fang family.

She continued to say to Fang Ziyan: "Your father's approach is also to gain momentum. Others who come to his house must have something to ask for, so he is able to be superior to others from the beginning."

"Oh! I understand! So the master brought the chair to the adults so that when those people came, the adults would sit down and they could only stand and wait for the adults to talk!"

After hearing this, Pei Zhaoqi completely understood what Shen Zheng meant.

He thought to himself that there were so many twists and turns when people got along with each other. Fortunately, his master and Pei Zhaoqi didn't treat him like that.

Shen Zheng nodded. Even though what he said was not entirely correct, she still praised him, "How smart."

In fact, this child is not particularly stupid.

When Fang Ziyan heard this, he was so happy that he didn't know what to do!

He glanced at the things on the table and said, "Lord Shen, please wait for me!" Then he took a step and ran away.

Shen Zheng looked at his back and smiled. Since he came to their county government office, he brought a lot of joy to everyone in the county government office.

Not to mention that thanks to him, their food standards have improved dramatically, but just having this little idiot around every day makes them happy just by looking at him.

Shen Zheng looked at the tea leaves that Fang Ziyan had just brought over, raised her hand to pick up the porcelain jar, pulled out the cork, and lowered her head to sniff.

A refreshing fragrance instantly filled her nostrils.

It can be said that this is the most fragrant tea she has ever smelled in her entire life in this world.

This fragrance is like the grass that had just been mowed by a lawn mower in the previous life, mixed with a hint of elegant floral scent, and like the morning mist in the mountains after rain.

At this moment, Shen Zheng's heart was completely calm.

She estimated that those people should be here soon, so she got up and went to the public kitchen to fetch a pot of hot water.
