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

When Mr. Wen returned to the teahouse, the matter of the "single old lady" had been forgotten by everyone.

Mr. Wen took the opportunity to change the subject after the gavel was slammed: "Everyone, I actually have another piece of news about the Ring Society. I guarantee it's true."

When the tea drinkers heard the word "authenticity", they subconsciously became defensive: "You've already drunk the good tea, and we can't afford the extra money, so please don't keep us in suspense..."

Mr. Wen snorted softly, but was afraid of the gavel.

"You all really judge people through the cracks in the door! Well, I'll just tell you straight."

The tea drinkers laughed secretly, and they only heard him say, "The court has sent Lord Shen to be in charge of the Ring Society, but Lord Shen doesn't have three heads and six arms, so how can he handle it all by himself? Don't you think so?"

“Yes!” the tea drinker responded.

"So!" The gavel rang again. "The Queen is kind-hearted and can't bear to see the people suffer, so she assigned all the old palace maids who stayed in the palace to Lord Shen to help Lord Shen and the court manage the Ring Society!"

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

The tea drinkers looked at each other, and saw uncertainty on each other's faces.

"Those who stayed in the palace, even if they died, would still be officials. How could they possibly work for the Xianhuan Society?"

"That's right. How can those people who have served the emperor and the empress serve those beggars and old people?"

"Mr. Wen, even if you make up a story, make it believable. We are not stupid!"

Mr. Wen smiled and shook his head, his face full of profoundness.

"I have already said it, the news... is true! Although it is not clearly stated in the notice, when the Ring Society begins to operate, you can go forward and ask around, and then you will know everything, right? Queen, this is a good deed that does not leave a name!"

Most of the tea drinkers were frightened by him.

"People who come out of the palace are incredible. They are all top-notch in every skill. If the beggars in the Xianhuan Society can learn a thing or two from them, wouldn't they be able to make a living?"

"If this is true, then Her Majesty the Queen has done a great deed..."

"You make me want to go to the Ring Society..."

The news that the Queen had sent palace maids to join the Ring Society spread like wildfire. Many court officials felt uneasy after hearing the news, and they planned to go to the palace to find out something during the morning court session tomorrow.

......

The next day, after Shen Zheng arrived at the dam, her eyes moved slightly and she glanced at the wooden barrel at the dam mouth.

After entering the dam, You Fu appeared and whispered, "Sir, there was no movement last night."

"No movement..." Shen Zheng looked towards the dam mouth.

Prime Minister Cui is cunning and will probably not attack the wooden barrel, but given Gadbert's temperament, how could he just sit there and wait for death without doing anything?

"Keep a close eye on them these two days." Shen Zheng said, "There are also the laborers on the dam. When mixing cement today, pay more attention to their actions."

After You Fu left, Hua Duo carried a box of tools and followed her to the diversion channel.

The Huihe River was temporarily blocked, and now the people in the suburbs of Beijing rely on the diversion channel for water. The diversion channel is still a soil and stone structure, not poured with cement. The river water swirls and foams, flowing endlessly and fleetingly.

Shen Zheng sat down with a stool, looking at the river and guessing: "If the diversion channel is made of cement, their target may not be me, but the crops that have just turned green downstream."

The wooden barrel is too small and there is someone guarding it, so it is difficult to attack.

But what if the target is changed to the crops and people downstream?

The river is long, and as long as the diversion channel is made of cement, they can start from the diversion channel. They don't need to kill people, as long as they poison the crops downstream, their goal will be achieved.

Hua Duo was slightly surprised when he heard this, and said hesitantly: "Sir, they are important officials in the court, how dare they..."

Shen Zheng shook her head: "In the struggle for power, we must never underestimate the evil of human nature. Just like Lu Sichu, for his own selfishness, he can ignore tens of thousands of people in Xingning Prefecture."

At this moment, she missed Tongan County very much.

I want to stay away from these disputes, but I cannot abandon the people of the world.

"They are not worthy of being officials..." Huaduo gritted his teeth.

Shen Zheng took out a carving knife from the toolbox and blew away the sawdust on it. "It's almost done. When I'm done with this, I'll go back to Tong'an County and have a good time."

It's been a bit difficult to get used to the absence of Xiao Yuan, Wang Guangjin and others around me for the past two months.

Hua Duo turned her head slowly, wanting to say something but stopping herself. After thinking for a while, she just opened her mouth when someone walked towards her quickly.

"Master Shen, here comes what you want!"

The man was tall and came to Shen Zheng's side in just three or two steps.

A shadow was cast, blocking the light in front of Shen Zheng's eyes.

She put down the carving knife, raised her head slowly, and looked clearly, slightly confused: "General Lin, what are you doing...?"

Lin Fanyun smiled at her, and the bags under his eyes were bigger than his eyes.

"Bao Jian is busy with work, so he asked me to deliver these things. Can you check them? If there is anything missing, I will make another trip."

Upon hearing this, Shen Zheng looked at the carriage behind him.

There were a lot of iron and wooden tools piled on the car, which were all the things Shen Zheng asked Bao Cheng for when he was on the dam.

"Excuse me, General Lin." Shen Zheng stepped forward to check and said, "These instruments have various uses. I can't see what's missing from a quick glance. There are many people on the dam, and the sun is strong these past two days. General Lin should go back first. If there's anything missing, I'll send someone to run a trip."

Lin Fanyun smiled, walked forward and started moving things out of the car.

"There has been nothing going on in the army recently. Supervisor Bao said that you are going to make some new tools. I am curious and want to come and observe. But don't worry, I will never disturb you."

Shen Zheng was silent for a moment, and Hua Duo stepped forward, "General Lin, just move these subordinates."

Looking at the solid iron plates in her hands, Lin Fanyun smiled and advised: "These iron plates are not light, each weighs dozens of pounds..."

Before he could finish his words, Hua Duo was seen holding two iron plates and facing Shen Zheng: "Sir, where are these?"

"..."

The words were swallowed back into his stomach, and Lin Fanyun focused on moving things without saying anything else.

The sun was getting hotter and hotter, so Zeng Tongshi and his men put up a shed over their heads. After moving all the things, Shen Zheng sat down first and drank a large pot of water.

Lin Fanyun sat beside her and asked curiously, "Is the water in your pot the same as the water in the bucket at the door?"

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Shen Zheng nodded slightly.

Lin Fanyun glanced at the wooden barrel at the dam mouth and said with a little worry: "My grandfather also heard about this. He cursed Jiadebo at home and said he wanted to come to the dam to drink water with you, but I stopped him."

Seeing that Shen Zheng didn't say anything, he immediately added: "It's not that I don't want my grandfather to be involved, but the weather has been hot recently, and my grandfather is so old..."

"I understand. General Lin, you don't need to explain." Shen Zheng picked up the carving knife again and said as he carved: "General Lin is a righteous man. I have received his kindness."
