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

The three agricultural masters stayed on the farm with the sweet potatoes.

Because the planting time is urgent and there is not enough time to fertilize the land, all we have to do is let the agronomist watch the field at all times, lay the foundation in small amounts multiple times, and then plow the land again to get the potato seeds planted as early as possible.

The farmers watched the carriage drive through the bean field and get farther and farther away, then they started talking.

"Are those the crops we want to grow in the warehouse?"

"It's in a sack. You can't see it."

"Don't mention it. That girl seems to know a lot. She has been talking to the teachers in the Agricultural University. The teachers in the Agricultural University have no choice but to obey her."

On the other side, Teacher Qu took out the booklet that Shen Zheng left for him.

The booklet is not thick, only about ten pages, but every page is densely written with words.

Shen Zheng said that these are all the planting experiences she has accumulated, and she hopes that they will also be useful for new crops.

In fact, these are the precautions during sweet potato seedling cuttings.

She wrote obscurely, but she intended to lead readers onto the "right path" and follow the rhythm of the booklet.

Old Teacher Qu was so engrossed in watching that any subconscious feeling that something was wrong was suppressed by his curiosity.

"Let's come down and discuss it."

Old Agricultural Teacher Qu handed the booklet to the other two agricultural teachers and said, "The farmers who grow new crops must be carefully selected. No matter whether they are families or individuals, they must not have any character problems. They must also be smart. Then we will give them two more lessons. This new crop...cannot be sloppy."

......

The carriage swayed out of Jiahepu and headed towards the eastern suburbs outside the city.

Ruiguxuan is located in the northeast of Shanghai, close to Huihe River.

Huihe River is similar to the "moat" of Shangjing. It is a branch of the river upstream and was artificially dug in the later period. It was named "Huihe River", which means "upstream".

The people living in the suburbs of Shangjing all depend on Huihe River for their survival, whether it is for farmland irrigation or washing clothes. If we go deeper, Huihe River can be regarded as the "mother river" of Shangjing.

When the carriage was halfway there, it turned a corner and headed along the river. The surface of the river was shimmering with golden light, breaking into thousands of pieces of colored glaze.

It was just after the dry season, and half of the river beach was hidden under the water, while the other half was still big enough for people to stand. Washers were squatting on the beach in groups of three or four, and the sound of pounding clothes mixed with laughter startled the egrets in the bushes.

The hot wind, mixed with moisture and carrying the unique scent of the river beach, rushed into the carriage, and Shen Zheng sniffed it lightly.

Another quarter of an hour later, the population on the shore gradually sparse, the Huihe River became wider, and the high walls spreading on both sides came into Shen Zheng's sight. There was a plaque above the front of the carriage - Ruiguxuan.

The entire Ruiguxuan is surrounded by high walls, because soon hundreds of acres of high-yield rice will be planted inside.

The guard recognized the Ministry of Revenue's carriage at a glance, trotted over, and saw Ji Benchang sitting in the carriage.

"I greet the Minister!"

This year, Ji Benchang is a frequent visitor to Ruiguxuan. Even he, the guard who takes turns to guard the gate, has seen him several times.

The gate opened, and the carriage entered, turning left as if it knew the way. Soon after, a large field of emerald green seedlings came into Shen Zheng's sight.

"Ouch--" Ji Benchang stopped the carriage and jumped down by holding onto the board. "My little darlings have grown taller again!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Zheng's feet slipped slightly and she sat down on the cart. The driver turned his head in shock, and Hua Duo hurried forward to help her.

Shen Zheng got out of the car without changing her expression and walked towards Ji Benchang, but her eyes were always looking into the distance.

The canals are crisscrossed, the water is gurgling, and this large field of seedlings looks like crushed jade, spread between heaven and earth.

Ji Benchang took off his shoes, rolled up his trouser legs, and stuck out his butt to look at the tillers of the seedlings. Shen Zheng squatted on the edge of the field, rolled up his sleeves, reached his hand into the shallow water, and carefully touched the tillers of many seedlings.

"They are no worse than those from Tong'an County last year." Shen Zheng said with a smile, "The tillers are thick, the leaves are strong, and the leaves are emerald green. They are all strong seedlings."

Ji Benchang narrowed his eyes and smiled, "The rice seeds Xiao Shen sent are good! These seedling raising methods are also based on the methods you wrote, step by step. Some agricultural engineers want to change it, but I won't allow it! Xiao Shen, you have grown 1,200 kilograms of rice, and you say that I don't listen to you, but listen to them instead. What kind of words are you talking about?"

The intention is obviously to seek credit.

Shen Zheng smiled lightly, "It's just that in the early stages of planting, the rice seeds are limited, and the agricultural teachers can't do much. After this year's harvest, the teachers can let go."

The ten acres of rice seedlings in front of her swayed in the breeze, and Shen Zheng's heart felt increasingly warm.

I wonder if all the seedlings in Tongan County have been transplanted.

This autumn harvest, the rice seeds produced by the entire Liuyang Prefecture should be enough to plant half of the Great Zhou.

And those lands that are not suitable for growing rice also have sweet potatoes to provide support.

Everything is getting better and better, and my stomach is getting fuller and fuller.

Shen Zheng was looking at the rice fields and Hua Duo was looking at her.

"Mr. Shangshu——"

A shout came from across the nursery, and several agricultural engineers from Ruiguxuan ran over.

Ji Benchang roared: "Stop stepping on my seedlings!"

......

When I returned to the Ministry of Revenue, the setting sun embraced the entire Shangjing.

After making an appointment with Ji Benchang for the next meeting, the busy day came to an end. Shen Zheng leaned against the carriage, her shoes were covered in mud and the corners of her clothes were stained with water from the rice fields.

Today's experience was both novel and shocking for Huaduo.

Her master not only knows how to grow crops, but also how to build utensils. When he talks about those things, his whole body glows.

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard a slight snoring sound from the opposite side, and Huaduo looked up.

——Fell asleep.

He was sleeping soundly with his head tilted back and his mouth open, in a very ungraceful manner.

When Shen Zheng woke up, the carriage had already stopped in front of the Shen Mansion. Hua Duo was sitting on the carriage with one knee bent, staring at her without blinking.

Hua Duo didn't expect her to open her eyes suddenly, and he looked around in panic for a moment.

"Hmm?" Shen Zheng rubbed his neck, bent down and got out of the car, and sat on the board with Hua Duo. "When did you arrive?"

Hua Duo whispered: "About two quarters of an hour ago, I saw that the master was sleeping soundly, so I didn't wake you up..."

Shen Zheng stretched and took Hua Duo into the mansion.

After dinner, Shen Zheng asked Nanny Gu, and Nanny Gu said that Yi Qun had not returned yet, and Li Shiyuan and Feng Qianzhi had not returned yet either.

But she said that today the three officials had sent someone to say that they would come to question her the next day, and asked everyone who was on the boat that day not to leave the palace.

This matter has always been a knot in Shen Zheng's heart.

Someone wants to harm her and Yu Shizhang. If they are not caught, they will not be able to sleep or go out in peace.

It just so happened that Shen Zheng didn't have anything urgent to do tomorrow, so she could stay with the people from the three divisions and question them, so that Fang Ziyan wouldn't be scared to the point of peeing his pants.

Afterwards, Nanny Gu handed over a business card, which was similar to a visiting card.

Gu Ma said, "Sir, not long after you left the mansion this morning, Lord Lu from the National Medical Bureau sent someone to deliver the business card to the mansion."

Shen Zheng opened it and took a look.

He said he came to visit her, but in his words, Director Lu was trying to find out whether Li Shiyuan was at home.

This is to discuss academics.

Shen Zheng smiled and said, "Please reply to the post. I will be waiting for you tomorrow at 9:00 p.m."

After Gu Ma Ma wrote it down, she added, "After noon, another gentleman came with his students and said he wanted to meet you."
