The first county magistrate in history

The yamen runners were all familiar with Xia Mochu and let him go directly.

In the backyard, Qin Zheng was lying on the stone table, drawing something on paper.

Seeing Xia Mochu and Li Qiuhan, Qin Zheng was startled: "Why are you here again?"

Xia Mochu's face darkened: "Can't I come?"

Qin Zheng quickly said: "Yes, of course, anytime."

Xia Mo Chuxin said, you are good at talking and didn’t embarrass me in front of Qiu Han.

"Another painting of a beautiful woman?" Xia Mochu said disdainfully, walking to the stone table. "Huh? What is this?"

Qin Zheng replied, "This is a new mattress I developed. It's called a Simmons mattress. It's not only soft and elastic, but it also helps you sleep!"

"Is this true?" Li Qiuhan also came over to take a look, completely confused: "Why is there a bamboo ring here?"

Qin Zheng explained, "This is called a spring, and it can increase the elasticity. Unfortunately, there is no iron ore in Hongtong County, and the purchase price is too high, which increases the cost a lot. Otherwise, iron springs would have better elasticity."

Xia Mochu was fascinated: "Do you have any samples?"

Qin Zheng nodded: "Yes, it is because after making a sample, we found that the cost is so high that ordinary people can't afford it."

"Take me to see it!" Xia Mochu said bluntly.

"Please!" Qin Zheng led the way.

Xia Mochu gave Li Qiuhan a haughty look, as if to say, "How's it going? Do I have him under my thumb?"

Li Qiuhan secretly gave a thumbs up. She was even more confused, wondering why Qin Zheng listened to the young lady so much.

in the room.

Qin Zheng looked speechlessly at the two women standing on his bed, competing to see who could bounce higher.

Is this so funny? Childish!

Xia Mochu and Li Qiuhan had never seen such a soft and elastic bed before, and they played with it to their heart's content.

Suddenly, Xia Mochu's pretty face turned red when she found Qin Zheng was looking at them.

Oh no, I am the empress, how can I be so disrespectful?

Her pretty face sank: "Qin Zheng, we haven't had breakfast yet, I want to eat delicious food!"

Qin Zheng frowned slightly. The whole county was recalling the past and guarding against the empress's secret visit. This was his order. How could he take the lead in disobeying it?

But Miss Xia wants to eat.

He owes this woman!

At this moment, a report came from outside the door: "Sir, there is something to report!"

Qin Zheng hurried out of the room.

A burly yamen runner stood in the yard.

"Wang Cheng, what's the matter?" Qin Zheng asked.

This is Wang Cheng, the county magistrate of Hongtong County.

Wang Cheng bowed and said, "The scouts reported that the empress suddenly changed her itinerary and returned to the imperial capital."

Qin Zheng was overjoyed: "That's great."

Wang Cheng asked, "Can I remove my disguise?"

Qin Zheng shook his head: "Wait a few more days to prevent her from making a feint."

"Yes!" Wang Cheng turned and left.

Inside the house, Xia Mochu, who had heard everything, couldn't help laughing, what a fool!

Li Qiuhan curled her lips and said, "Miss, he's really cunning. Luckily we're here to take his place, otherwise, he definitely wouldn't believe the rumors."

Xia Mochu laughed and said, "No matter how cunning he is, I can still control him!"

Now that the empress has left, Qin Zheng no longer has many concerns and cooks himself!

Soon, the aroma of food from the kitchen drifted into the bedroom.

Gurgle, Xia Mochu, who was lying on the Simmons bed, felt her stomach growl.

Li Li Qiuhan also swallowed his saliva: "Miss, it smells really good, it must be delicious."

Soon, Qin Zheng came over to invite the two women to dinner.

Steamed lake fish, pheasant stewed with wild mushrooms, and two vegetarian dishes, all of which are delicious in color, aroma and taste.

Inside the pheasant and mushroom stew, there is a shiny, soft and elastic strip of something. It is not only chewy but also very delicious.

After wolfing down a few mouthfuls, Xia Mochu picked it up and asked, "What is this?"

Qin Zheng replied, "This is called vermicelli noodles, made from sweet potato starch."

Suddenly, I wondered, "This sweet potato flour has been on sale for over two years, and it hasn't reached the capital yet?"

Xia Mochu was stunned: "No, I have never eaten it."

Look at Li Qiuhan.

Li Qiuhan had just put a piece of vermicelli into his mouth when he saw the young lady looking at him. He quickly shook his head and the vermicelli hit her cheeks with a crackling sound, leaving two oily stains.

Li Qiuhan's pretty face flushed red.

Qin Zheng then remembered something, stood up and left, and soon brought back a stack of soft papers.

Qin Zheng handed one to Li Qiuhan.

Xia Mochu suddenly grabbed a piece, looked at it carefully, and exclaimed, "How can there be such soft and thin paper? And so elastic?"

Qin Zheng was a little confused: "Could it be that this napkin paper hasn't been sold in the imperial capital either? That can't be right. I invented toilet paper, sanitary napkins, and napkins over a year ago. I have an agent in the imperial capital, right? The goods have been sent there a long time ago. Even ordinary Xuan paper has been released. Only the high-grade Xuan paper has not been mass-produced due to a shortage of one of the raw materials."

"What is toilet paper?" Li Qiuhan asked after wiping the oil off his face.

Qin Zheng hesitated for a moment, after all, he was eating, but seeing the urging eyes of the two, he had no choice but to say, "When you go to the toilet at the inn, haven't you ever used toilet paper thicker than this?"

Li Qiuhan's pretty face flushed, and she understood.

I just used it last night, but I don't know what it's called.

Before, they all used toilet chips...

Only yesterday did they realize that there was such a comfortable paper.

Xia Mochu asked, "What are sanitary napkins?"

Qin Zheng scratched his head. It was indeed inconvenient to say, "Wait a moment, I'll get it!"

Qin Zheng walked out.

Xia Mochu's face looked grim. Why weren't there so many good things in the palace?

Li Qiuhan was also puzzled: "I haven't seen him on the streets of the imperial capital yet?"

Xia Mochu's expression was cold and stern: "Send someone to investigate thoroughly, there must be a reason!"

"Yes!" Li Qiuhan nodded.

After a while, one of them came back with two packages and handed them to the two women.

Xia Mochu and Li Qiuhan took it and opened it.

Xia Mochu wondered, "Is this a sanitary napkin? It even has wings. What's the use?"

Suddenly, as if understanding, he was about to cover his face: "It must be covered!"

"Miss, no!" Li Qiuhan hurriedly stopped her, her pretty face flushed red at this moment.

Because she saw the instructions above.

Under Li Qiuhan's guidance, Xia Mochu also saw the instructions on the sanitary napkin packaging!

After reading it, her pretty face turned red.

Snapped!

She threw the sanitary napkin on Qin Zheng's face and said, "County Magistrate Qin, how can you be so filthy?"

Qin Zheng speechlessly pulled off the Women's Friend sanitary napkin. "How is this disgusting? I've solved a problem that has troubled women for years. Did you know that the rate of women in Hongtong County suffering from gynecological diseases is only one in ten thousand because of this?"

"how is this possible?"

Xia Mochu and Li Qiuhan exclaimed.

Qin Zheng: "Do you know how many packs it sells? Over 10 million packs a year, and it's still increasing exponentially!"

Xia Mochu asked in shock, "How much is a pack?"

Qin Zheng replied, "To make it affordable for ordinary people, the price is not high, only five coins. However, we also have high-end products, which cost one ounce of silver per package. But the quality is guaranteed!"

"Why is the price difference so big?" Li Qiuhan asked.

Qin Zheng explained: "High-end products are also disposable, but the materials are higher quality, more comfortable, and they are integrated with the underwear, eliminating the hassle of changing them. However, they are only suitable for wealthy people."

Although Xia Mochu and Li Qiuhan blushed when they heard this, they also knew that this sanitary napkin was a good thing.

Both of them were shocked. How much money does Hongtong County make in a year just from sanitary napkins?

Xia Mochu's eyes turned red: "Qin Zheng, give me a list of all the things you have invented."

Qin Zheng wondered: "What do you want it for?"

Xia Mochu said angrily, "Don't worry about it."

She was planning to go back and investigate in detail, why was it not in the imperial capital?

"Also, I heard there are a lot of fun places here. Like the hot spring resort, the summer resort, the grass skiing field, the billiards city, the chess and card room... I want to go there."

After saying that, Xia Mochu looked at Qin Zheng eagerly.

I thought to myself, Qin Zheng, please don't embarrass me in front of the female officials. I have boasted too much.
