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

Perhaps happiness really came too suddenly. The four maids were stunned for a long time.

They just stared at Shen Zheng blankly until Grandma Gu spoke, then they all lay on the ground to express their gratitude.

They each chewed over their own names in their hearts.

It's not a given name, it's a name with a surname and a given name.

"Get up." Shen Zheng looked at their faces that were flushed with excitement and established the first rule since entering the mansion.

"Unless it's a big deal, you don't have to kneel to me in the future."

After saying that, she looked at Grandma Gu.

Even if other people don’t understand what a “big deal” is, Grandma Gu definitely understands.

As expected, Nanny Gu brought the four maids up and bowed, saying, "This old servant understands."

Then, according to Shen Zheng's instructions, Nanny Gu introduced the remaining three people one by one.

The smartly dressed female warrior, named Hua Duo, is responsible for the security of the mansion. To put it simply, she is the head of the guards.

Shen Zheng didn't know where the emperor had found such a female warrior, but she was very curious, why would such a capable and heroic woman be named "Talkative"...

He actually doesn't talk much. Since he entered the hall, he has been standing quietly, like a pine tree.

The second young man in a long gown fits Shen Zheng's stereotype of the accountant.

Just as I was thinking about it, Nanny Gu said that his name was Jiang Sheng, and he was mainly responsible for purchasing and carriages in the mansion.

It is difficult to associate the well-mannered young scholar with the fat and greasy shopping spree, nor is it easy to talk about him together with the fine horse.

Shen Zheng was silent for a moment, "...Then, the accountant?"

The bearded man scratched his head and saluted, "I am Lei Pancheng, and I will be in charge of the revenue and expenditure of the mansion for the time being."

Shen Zheng: Okay, okay.

Look away.

It's true that you can't judge a book by its cover, but Lei Pancheng really looks...very heroic.

Although it was a bit insulting to ask this question, Shen Zheng was really curious: "How...learned are you?"

Lei Pancheng understood what she meant and smiled shyly: "My father is an accountant. I inherited his business. I can read and do accounting."

Shen Zheng smiled and nodded, then began to reflect.

Seeing this, Nanny Gu stepped forward and whispered, "During the time when you were away, all the transactions in the mansion were recorded in the account book. I have already placed the book in your study."

This is to let her see Lei Pancheng's ability. If she doesn't like him, Nanny Gu will find someone else to replace him.

Lei Pancheng was not nervous at all.

He is very confident.

With the family-inherited craft, as long as you have a plan in mind, you can set up any stall, no matter how big it is.

Shen Zheng pondered for a moment, then said to them: "Those of you who can read, step forward."

Nanny Gu, Lei Pancheng, and Jiang Pan stepped out of the line.

The four maids and Hua Duo were illiterate and stayed where they were.

Huaduo seemed to have a low self-esteem. He clenched his hands slightly at his sides and then lowered his head even lower.

The four maids also blushed.

Their master is so powerful, but they are just the mud in the ground. Even serving him seems to be defiling his master.

They also heard that among ordinary servants of officials, there were always one or two literate ones, but they were usually family-born children, or book boys who had been with the official since childhood. However, among the four of them, not a single one of them could read.

Shen Zheng looked at the eight people in front of her, three in front and five behind, and was silent for a moment.

Choosing four illiterate maids for her must have been the emperor's intention, as he was trying his best to show respect.

But she felt a little upset.

This is right under the feet of the emperor, at the foot of the imperial city.

These girls are still illiterate.

"Let's go first." Shen Zheng stood up.

She needs to think about the matters in the mansion before making a decision.

......

Nanny Gu led the way, and four maids followed behind Shen Zheng. After walking for a cup of tea, they passed through the moon-shaped gate and finally saw the main courtyard of the mansion.

The cave gate is connected to one side of the courtyard gate. The scenery is lush, with flower branches leaning to the ground and subtle fragrance flowing.

When the corner of the clothes brushed past, the fragrance of the flowers became even more refreshing.

"The flowers are blooming beautifully." Shen Zheng praised.

She returned to Beijing in spring. If it were winter, these flowers would have been crushed into dust by the snow.

Pei Yu, who was behind her, also felt that the flowers today were particularly fragrant, so fragrant that her head felt a little dizzy, and her feet felt as light as if they were stepping on clouds.

The group walked into the main courtyard.

The main courtyard was located on a slightly higher ground, with white marble steps leading directly to the courtyard hall. However, Shen Zheng seemed to have thought of something, so she stopped and took two steps back.

——The name of the hospital, she seemed not to see it clearly just now.

Grandma Gu and the others quickly retreated with her.

Shen Zheng stood under the plaque, raised her head and took a look - Ziyi Ju.

"..."

What a great way to live freely, act freely, and live freely.

Gu Mama stepped forward and asked, "Sir, do you want to change the plaque?"

Shen Zheng asked: "Is there anything ready in the warehouse?"

Gu Mama was silent for a moment, and somehow understood what she meant, but still replied: "No..."

"Then I won't change it." Shen Zheng walked towards the courtyard, "As you please, that's good."

Grandma Gu behind her opened her mouth, smiled and followed.

If the furnishings in the main hall of the front yard are ostentatious and luxurious, then the furnishings in this main hall are slightly ostentatious and... artificially luxurious.

The nanmu lattice door is carved with pictures of the Twenty-Four Filial Exemplars, and the rosewood racks display many ornaments, both civil and military, with a comprehensive theme.

With the previous experience as a lesson, Shen Zheng accepted it well and went straight through the corridor and into the outer room of the main house.

There is a table in the middle of the outer room, on which are placed porcelain vases and bronze mirrors, which means "peace". In front of the table is an eight-immortal table, with armchairs on both sides, and the backs of the chairs are carved with exquisite cloud patterns.

It can be seen that the main room has been carefully tidied up. Whether it is the ornaments or the pearl curtains and lamps, they are less "arbitrary" and more gentle.

The sun shines through the carved windows, incense is burning in the gilded incense burner, and fresh flowers are placed in a porcelain vase in the corner. The flowers are exactly the same as those on the side of the corridor outside the courtyard.

After recognizing the door, Shen Zheng went to look for Yu Shizhang and others.

The two girls, Yu Nanshu and Feng Qianzhi, lived in a courtyard named Xiefang.

Mr. Qiao, Li Shiyuan and others lived in another courtyard named Zhenliu.

They gathered in Zhenliuyuan and dismissed the servants.

Shen Zheng let out a long sigh, sat on the stone bench in the yard, and looked up at the scattered branches and leaves above his head.

When she was with them, she felt like herself again.

This mansion was really too big, so big that she was a little uncomfortable with it, so big that she felt that even walking was a waste of time.

Also, when she was interacting with people like Gu Ma, she always had to be tactful.

Although she had never thought of enslaving others, everything had to be a gradual process, because people were enslaved not in their bodies but in their minds.

In the courtyard, Yu Nanshu, Fang Ziyan and others were exploring everywhere - for them, this was a new place, and there might be surprises behind every door.

Mr. Qiao brought Cheng Yu to the research institute to study the door and window structures.

And Li Shiyuan was taking Shen Zheng's pulse.

He was afraid that Shen Zheng might get sick after falling into the water, so he had to see it with his own eyes to feel at ease.

While waiting for Li Shiyuan to feel her pulse, Shen Zheng whispered to Yu Shizhang who was sitting opposite her: "Uncle, I have an idea. Can you help me think about it and see if it is feasible?"
