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

The Fang family’s buffet has been set up for more than a month.

Fang Wenxiu, the eldest son of the Fang family, was entertaining guests, but Fang Hengyuan, the father, was drinking until his face turned red every day.

"When my little son comes home, I will have to call him 'Master Scholar'!"

"What? Juren? I don't dare to think about it, I don't dare to think about it, Xiucai is enough!"

"Oh, you're leaving? Come back tomorrow. Come back tomorrow. The table will still be open tomorrow!"

The banquet lasted for a month, and the people of Quanyang gained several pounds, but Fang Hengyuan didn't care about the money at all.

My son is so lucky to be favored by Lord Shen. It is really a blessing from my ancestors.

Fang Wenxiu was walking around the table, and when he saw someone, his face darkened: "What are you doing here?"

The other person was holding a gift in his arms, and was obviously a little afraid of him: "Fang, Brother Fang, I'm here to give a gift to Zi Yan. He passed the exam to become a scholar. As his friend..."

"Fang Ziyan doesn't have a friend like you." Fang Wenxiu put down his wine cup, his eyes sharp: "Since the day you instigated Fang Ziyan to bully Zhao Qi last year, Fang Ziyan no longer has a friend like you."

The clothes He Liangping was wearing were a bit old and not this year's fashionable style.

Obviously, the He family has not had an easy time in the past year.

It’s all thanks to the person in front of me!

He encouraged himself in his heart, "But if it weren't for me, Ziyan would never have caught the eye of Lord Shen, let alone lived in the Tongan County Government Office and passed the exam to become a scholar!"

Fang Wenxiu's face darkened. "You are really good at flattering yourself. Do you want to leave on your own, or do I have to call someone to kick you out?"

"You can't do this!" He Liangping was both afraid and angry. "What I said is the truth. If it weren't for me, Fang Ziyan would never have been able to talk to Lord Shen in his life, and the Fang family would never have been in Lord Shen's eyes..."

Fang Wenxiu laughed angrily.

"No matter what, it's the good fortune of our Fang family. If you still want to live in Quanyang County, don't appear in front of any member of the Fang family, including Fang Ziyan."

He Liangping's fingers turned pale as he held the gift. "You are killing us all..."

Now the Fang family has caught the eye of Lord Shen, and Fang Ziyan has also passed the examination and become a scholar.

Shouldn't the past grudges be written off?

The He family has suffered enough in the past year!

Fang Wenxiu completely lost his patience. "If you don't leave, I will let you know what it means to be completely annihilated."

He Liangping's body trembled slightly. He looked at him angrily, then turned and left.

Fang Hengyuan came over, burped, and looked clear-eyed, "Send someone to check if Ziyan had any evidence against him when he and Ziyan were studying at Quanyang Academy."

I'm afraid that the dog will jump over the wall when it is cornered.

Fang Wenxiu nodded, and Fang Hengyuan continued, "He doesn't even think about why his He family has been able to live a good life for several years. People are greedy and never stop."

It’s because Fang Ziyan only had this one friend at the time.

Shangjing, East and West Quarters.

The East and West Workshops were under the Ministry of Industry, also known as the "Central Workshop". They were located on the edge of the inner city of Shangjing and were the production site for the core equipment of the Great Zhou.

Recently, the Ministry of Industry has been casting blast furnaces in the East and West workshops.

There are a total of fifty-one branch workshops in the East and West Workshops. After the blast furnace was cast a few days ago, the number of branch workshops increased from fifty-one to fifty-two.

The 52nd block is Gaolu Block.

It was hot in the workshop, and the blast furnace casting fine iron was like a giant beast, standing silently between heaven and earth, frightening at first glance. In front of it, humans seemed small and fragile.

Everyone in the Ministry of Works was gathered around it, looking worried.

Yue Zhenchuan stood in the middle of the crowd, holding the blast furnace blueprint in his hand, sweating profusely, but with no intention of wiping his sweat off.

Several smelting officers hesitated to speak, and after exchanging glances for a long time, they finally spoke: "Sir... we have gone through the steps again and found no mistakes. But for some reason, the furnace temperature has not reached the required level. Otherwise... let's ask Sir Shen for advice."

"Yes, sir, we can't make molten iron now, let alone steel..."

There is no where to go.

They had a good idea at the beginning. After the blast furnace was cast, they would smelt it themselves first, and when they produced the first piece of steel, they would give Lord Shen a surprise.

But the surprise was delayed for several days, and now there is only "surprise" but no "joy"...

After their high morale faded, they now just want help.

"Let's not bother Xiao Shen yet." Yue Zhenchuan said in a deep voice, "Try again."

The smelting officer was puzzled: "Why, sir? We have made several mistakes and wasted a lot of charcoal. Lord Shen has smelting experience. Asking her for help is..."

"Snapped--"

Yue Zhenchuan threw the drawing on the table, his eyes dark.

"The drawings and steps Xiao Shen provided are extremely detailed, and the instruction booklet even details dozens of emergencies. Isn't she good enough for you?"

The smelting officials looked at each other in bewilderment.

Why are you suddenly angry?

I didn’t say that Lord Shen treated them badly.

"Sir, we didn't mean that. We just..."

"You are just used to not thinking when encountering problems, and you are used to relying on Xiao Shen!" Yue Zhenchuan interrupted them: "You have failed repeatedly in the past few days. Have you really tried to find the reasons? Are you still the smelters I know? When you have a little setback, you don't look for the reasons, and you just say 'It would be great if Master Shen was here'."

The smelting officers were stunned.

Yue Zhenchuan took a breath of hot air and felt a burning pain in his chest.

"In the past, everyone of you had your own opinions and loved to argue. When you encountered something unknown, you were full of energy. But what about now? You can't push Xiao Shen out to take the lead every time just because she can take the lead, right?"

Smelting was left speechless by what he said.

"Try again." He said calmly, "If it doesn't work, I will go to the dam and invite Xiao Shen over."

Looking at his departing back, several smelters finally understood.

Recently, they have become impatient for quick results, and have become restless and irritable, completely losing the craftsman spirit of the Ministry of Industry.

Fortunately, the Shangshu woke them up.

......

Huihe Dam.

Two carriages drove out of the city and stopped outside the dam, one in front and one behind.

In the previous carriage, Yu Jiusi saw the place and reached out to pinch Yu Nanshu's nose.

"Um--"

Yu Nanshu was still sleeping soundly when she suddenly felt suffocated and had difficulty breathing. When she opened her eyes, she found that someone was trying to murder her sister.

"Snapped--"

She slapped Yu Jiusi's hand away and lifted the curtain to look. "Are we there?"

The brother and sister got off the carriage one after another, and when getting off, they did not forget to step on each other's feet.

After getting back on solid ground, Yu Nanshu looked at the carriage behind her with curiosity in her eyes: "This carriage has been following us since we left the city. So it's also coming to the river dam?"

Just as he finished speaking, a head covered with head ornaments popped out from the back of the car.

This head, this face.

Seems like an acquaintance?

"Cui Jinyin?" Yu Nanshu was not sure and took another look. "This glowing head can't be anyone else. What are you doing here?"

Cui Jinyin looked up when she heard that, but her headdress was caught on the curtain. She could only raise her hands to undo the curtain while saying harshly: "Yu Laizhu? I knew it was you just by the sound of your voice! What does it have to do with you where I go and what I do?"

War is about to break out.

"Cui Jinyin!"

"Yu Lai Pig!"

"elder brother!"
