The Royal Family's Orphan is on the Rise
Chapter 52: Lord Lin is wise but appears foolish
Considering that everyone was tired from the journey, Shen Jiarou decided to rest in the County Lady's Mansion for two days before attending class.
Mr. Xie also agreed with her arrangement.
After checking the recent expenses of Nanny He in the front yard, Shen Jiarou was about to leave the house to check the shop. Before she even reached the door of the house, Xu Zhi came hurriedly.
"I have met the county lady."
Seeing his hurried look, Shen Jiarou asked in confusion, "Do you have something to report?"
"Replying to the county lady, the county magistrate is visiting."
When Shen Jiarou heard this, she looked at Ruan Qingling and sighed that the county magistrate came so quickly.
"Quick pass."
Zhen Luosang immediately helped the county lady to the living room. "County lady, you said that the county magistrate came to visit suddenly, but was it just a visit?"
Shen Jiarou disagreed. Yesterday, Nanny He said that the magistrate of Fenghe County was a bit greedy, but he was a very accommodating person.
"Let's take a look first and then talk."
When everyone saw the county magistrate, they were all shocked.
They thought that what Nanny He said about being bloated was just a little fat, but they didn't expect the county magistrate to be so fat. He must have eaten well to be so blessed.
When County Magistrate Lin Fengye saw the girl sitting in the main seat, he was also confused. No one told him that the county lady was a child, so he automatically assumed that she was at least a dozen years old.
"Your humble servant greets the county lady."
Shen Jiarou also noticed the confusion on his face and smiled knowingly, "Master Lin, please don't be polite."
"Thank you, County Lord."
Seeing the fat on his body, Shen Jiarou felt a little embarrassed.
"Master Lin, please take a seat!"
When Lin Fengye heard this, he quickly thanked her, "Thank you, County Lady, for letting me sit down."
Element Frost glanced at Lin Fengye vaguely, fearing that he would break the chairs in the mansion.
Zheng Shutong noticed Element Frost's eyes and covered his face to hide the faint smile on the corners of his lips.
When Nanny Wang heard Yaer's report, she hurried towards the main hall.
Lin Fengye looked at the little girl sitting in the main seat and knew that this girl was extraordinary. It was amazing that she could change a month at such a young age.
He also heard that the two neighboring counties had been promoted in recent months. Thinking that they had not been promoted for several years, and now that the county lord had left, they were promoted, he felt a little jealous.
He was an eighth-rank official and had not been promoted for several years, which made him feel angry.
Thinking of the little girl sitting in the main seat, his face was filled with smiles.
"County Master, how long will you stay this time?"
At this time, Nanny Wang arrived.
"This old servant greets the county lady. I greet you, sir."
Lin Fengye looked at the county lady and Nanny Wang in confusion. Shen Jiarou introduced them calmly, "This is Nanny Wang, my personal nanny."
When Lin Fengye heard this, he quickly greeted him politely.
"Hello, Nanny Wang."
Seeing the flattering smile on his face, Nanny Wang looked at the county lady calmly.
Shen Jiarou smiled faintly and said, "Madame Wang, please sit aside."
Nanny Wang sat opposite the chair next to Lin Fengye.
Thinking of what she hadn't answered yet, Shen Jiarou smiled faintly, "How long I'll stay is uncertain. The counties around are all quite close, so it's quite convenient to come here."
This county magistrate doesn't seem to be very smart. How could he directly ask questions to someone of higher rank than him?
Hearing this, Lin Fengye knew it was not something he would consider, so he could only smile awkwardly.
Golden Palace
Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe and sitting on the dragon throne, looking down at the officials below.
Li Jiang flicked his whisk and said solemnly, "If you have something to say, please report it. If not, please leave the court!"
Among the officials, a third-rank official from the Ministry of Revenue came out.
"I have a report to make."
Emperor Shundi of Yuan Dynasty looked at the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue and said, "Speak, my dear Xiao!"
"I checked the fiscal revenue of each state and county in the past year and found that Anren County had the highest growth in fiscal revenue in the past year. In addition, Nanning County's fiscal revenue in the second half of the year also increased significantly. I will list the fiscal revenue of the two places in the past three years for your review."
Liu Sishan, the Dali Temple official, was stunned. "Anren County and Nanning County, aren't those the fiefs of the Yongkang County Lord?"
As soon as Liu Sishan's words came out, there was a discussion among the officials.
"This Yongkang County Lady is quite amazing. She has increased the local fiscal revenue so much in such a short period of time."
Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty listened to the discussion below and shared his views. Grand Tutor Fu Yuncheng caught a glimpse of the emperor's fleeting smile.
He was stunned. Could it be that the emperor knew Princess Yongkang?
Shen Jiarou was still trying to find ways to improve the local economy, completely unaware that her actions had once again alarmed officials in the court.
For the sake of his career, Lin Fengye agreed to all the suggestions made by Shen Jiarou.
This happened several times in a row, leaving Shen Jiarou confused.
That day, Lin Fengye agreed to the question she asked without thinking.
Things went so smoothly that Shen Jiarou began to doubt her own hearing.
She asked tentatively, "Master Lin, do you have anything else to add, or any better suggestions?"
Lin Fengye waved his chubby hand and said, "My Lord, you are joking. I think your suggestions are all very good, so I have no objection at all. Just give us your orders, and we will do whatever you want."
Shen Jiarou walked out of the government office, turned around and looked up at the plaque on the county government's door.
Ruan Qingling saw that her master frowned slightly and said with a little worry, "Master, what's wrong with you?"
Shen Jiarou shook her head. "Don't you think this county magistrate is too easy to talk to?"
Is this person stupid or does he have a purpose, or is he being directed by someone?
But she is just a young girl and has only been to Anren County and Nanning County. She should not have offended anyone.
After hearing what the county lady said, Ruan Qingling's expression also became serious.
"Speaking of which, our county magistrate is quite easy to talk to."
Zhen Luosang agreed, "It's so easy to talk to."
During all the years she was in the palace, she had never seen anyone so easy to talk to except the county princess.
Shen Jiarou retracted her gaze and said, "Let's go back to the mansion and talk to the maids."
Ruan Qingling and Zhen Luosang looked at each other and nodded. Yuansu Shuang and Yaer had little experience, so they followed in a daze.
In the main hall of the mansion, Nanny Wang, Nanny Su, and Nanny He all fell into deep thought when they heard Shen Jiarou's words.
Nanny He thought about the information she had learned and said, "County Lady, I think this matter should be the first two you mentioned."
Shen Jiarou looked at her in confusion, "Oh, why do you say that, Madam He?"
"According to my understanding, our county magistrate is not very wise. He has been in charge of this place for many years, and every year is almost the same. Besides, I think that as an official, everyone wants to get promoted and make money."
Shen Jiarou seemed to understand a little bit. "You mean, he doesn't have much ability, but he wants to be promoted. Why does this county lady feel a little bit..."
She suddenly forgot how to describe it.
"Great wisdom appears foolish?"
When everyone heard this, they all looked towards Elemental Frost.
Ruan Qingling looked at the county lord, and Shen Jiarou clapped her hands violently.
"Yes, yes, that's what I mean."
Nanny Wang couldn't help but chuckle, "It seems that the county lady did learn something by letting Su Shuang attend the class together."
Being praised suddenly, Elemental Frost lowered his head shyly.
Nanny Su couldn't help but remind her, "Su Shuang, you should behave in a dignified manner and never embarrass the county lady. Especially now that you are studying with the county lady, you are officially classmates."
Nanny Wang did not comment on her words. "Nanny Su is right. Su Shuang, you need to be more careful."
Then she looked at Zhen Luosang, "Luosang, you must always pay attention to Su Shuang's words and deeds and correct her in time."
Zhen Luosang bowed slightly and said, "Yes, Nanny Wang."
