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

On the carriage back to the city, Little Comb started fanning himself again.

Eunuch Hong rolled his eyes at him and said, "You dumb, dumb bastard, you can't even say a word?"

I thought this kid was honest and simple-minded, so I took this opportunity to help him. However, I didn't expect that this guy was so boring that he didn't even know to call him "Master" secretly.

The little comb received a cold stare, so she fanned herself even harder and looked up, asking, "Father-in-law, is this appropriate?"

"..."

......

As the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, the documents for the relief center site have been successfully stamped. After the land is cleared, construction will officially begin.

The construction drawings were provided by the Ministry of Works, a small portion of the construction materials were allocated by the court, and the remaining majority had to be purchased by the Xianhuan Society itself.

The Fifth Nazheng is posting a notice to recruit merchants to sponsor. For merchants who are willing to sponsor construction materials, the court and the Xianhuan Society will engrave a tablet to express their gratitude. The tablet will be named "Charity Tablet" and will be erected at the entrance of the relief center.

For some wealthy businessmen, it was just a small amount of construction materials and money, so they had to seize the opportunity to be thanked publicly by the court.

In this way, the Xianhuan Society could mobilize hundreds of people to respond, and within just a few days, they would have gathered enough construction materials.

On the day of the opening ceremony of the sacrifice, Shen Zheng asked for leave from Bashang and took Hua Duo with her, but she was not wearing an official robe, but casual clothes.

"Your Excellency is not going to show up?"

Unconsciously, Hua Duo's understanding of Shen Zheng had reached a new level. Just by looking at Shen Zheng's clothes and appearance, she could guess what Shen Zheng wanted to do.

"No." Thinking of the scene of the frog enclosure that day, Shen Zheng shook her head. "Old Master Wu is enough. He can handle it. If I show up, I will be caught and scolded."

She was afraid that she would speak in an official tone in the future, saying a few words here and a few words there.

——"There are some difficulties, but we must overcome them."

——"Young people should suffer more losses and broaden their horizons."

——"Come to my study after you leave the government office."

——"We will take the lead this time and report to the adults."

——“…”

Just thinking about it, Shen Zheng wanted to punch herself twice.

The carriage was bumpy and dust was rising and falling. She was swaying from side to side in the carriage, thinking that after she finished the work at hand, she must apply to the court to repair the road.

And there's rubber. Now that she knows its whereabouts, she's going to take action.

Huaduo didn't mind the shaking of the carriage and took out his booklet.

She has been catching up on her work lately.

Compared with Pei Yu and the others, she knew the fewest words. She felt a little pressured before, thinking that she couldn't be left too far behind by Pei Yu and the others.

But a few days ago, she accidentally discovered something - among the few people, her handwriting was the most like her master's.

This discovery made her so excited that she couldn't sleep the whole night.

So, slowness has its advantages.

Slow work produces fine results, and you can also receive hands-on instruction from your master.

After a while of bumping around, we finally arrived at our destination.

The relief center covers a large area. Because the project is rushed, the enclosure has not been completed today, and the people can also come to watch the sacrificial ceremony.

The Ring-Holding Society set up a temporary altar at the entrance. A brand new flag was flying on the platform beam, with the three words "Ring-Holding Society" written on it by Shen Zheng himself.

The driver drove the carriage directly under a big tree. There were many merchants coming today, and the people were no longer surprised by the carriages. They just took a look at them and then turned around to discuss the relief center.

"Such a large piece of land, and the imperial court gave it all to the Xianhuan Society? If it were used to grow crops, I wonder how much money it could fetch in a year."

"Planting crops?" The person next to him scoffed. "Is clearing land easy? With your old waist, can you plow half an acre of land in a day?"

Laughter rang out, and someone else said, "But this piece of land is really too big. Are they going to lock up all the beggars in the capital? The more beggars there are, the more diseases there will be... Fortunately, I live upstream. What if the water gets polluted?"

As soon as the words fell, someone immediately refuted: "Do you think Lord Shen is just here to eat and do nothing? The miracle doctor under her is amazing. I even heard that the miracle doctor... is going to open a clinic with the old doctor who left the palace!"

"Is this true? Tongan Clinic?"

Many people have heard that medicines at Tongan Medical Clinic are cheap, and medical consultations are even cheaper. If you round it up, it’s almost free.

If the Tongan Medical Clinic were to open in Beijing, who would be willing to spend a few coins to treat minor illnesses and pains?

Everyone was discussing heatedly when a masked woman quietly joined in the conversation: "Is that the Divine Doctor Li? And the old imperial physician who left the palace? Is he that powerful? When did this happen?"

Ziyiju and Zhenliuyuan are only a hundred steps apart. How come she, a "family member", didn't hear the news?

Li Shiyuan quietly does great things!

"Huh?" The people looked at her, and someone asked curiously, "Girl, why are you wearing a mask in the middle of summer? Could it be that you..."

This person seemed to be hesitant to speak, but the meaning of his words was obvious. For a moment, the people around him all took two steps back, not even daring to touch the corner of Shen Zheng's clothes.

"...I'm not sick." Shen Zheng panted twice from the heat and began to ramble: "I ran away without telling my family, and they wanted to beat me if I was caught."

Everyone looked at her with pity again.

It's so pitiful. Such a grown-up girl, not only can't she go out by herself, but she also gets beaten.

"You better hide well, girl. We'll block you."

Shen Zheng was surrounded by the crowd, with only her head showing. Hua Duo was watching anxiously from outside the circle.

Shen Zheng waved her hand twice and began to ask about the gossip. "Brother, is Divine Doctor Li really going to open a clinic with the Imperial Physician? Where did you hear that?"

The man looked around and waved to everyone, and everyone leaned over.

He just said, "My brother-in-law works on the Huihe Dam. He heard what Lord Shen said with his own ears!"

"Really?" Everyone clapped their hands excitedly. "That's great! Lord Shen really cares about us ordinary people!"

Shen Zheng: “?”

She doesn't deserve this flattery.

"Girl, you don't believe me?" Seeing her puzzled face, the young man patted his chest and assured her, "Don't worry about what I say. I know everything about Beijing."

Beneath the mask, Shen Zheng forced a smile: "Then your brother-in-law and Lord Shen have a good relationship... huh."

The young man raised his lips and was about to say a few more words, but she quickly interrupted him: "Everyone, my family is here to arrest me. I'm leaving now. Goodbye!"

After saying that, she squeezed out of the crowd.

Hua Duo came over quickly, supported her and looked her up and down, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay." Shen Zheng took her back to the carriage, took off her mask and drank a sip of tea. "I just saw that girl Cui Jinyin. I think she came to look for Ah Wu. I was worried that she would recognize me and scream, so I came out."

On the night of eating frog, the girl left the Shen Mansion reluctantly, and after that she would send people to deliver snacks and fruits every few days.

Shen Zheng asked the doorman to tell her that she couldn't eat anymore and not to send any more food. What did she say?

——"Tell your parents to throw it away if they can't eat it."

The implication is - I just love giving gifts, no matter whether you eat them or not.

Hua Duo picked up a bamboo fan and fanned Shen Zheng. Shen Zheng's eyes turned and she suddenly asked, "Hua Duo, do you want to stay in Shangjing or go to Tongan County with me?"
