Wu Xiancheng took the item and said, "I'm curious too. Why don't you let me try it?"

Sheng Changan nodded.

Zheng Jun then realized that the adult was only a ten-year-old child, and was extremely thin. He suddenly felt guilty, mainly because the adult's usual behavior made him feel that he was not like a child at all.

As County Magistrate Wu stabbed the brick with his knife, not a single mark was left on it, and the eyes of several people lit up.

Sheng Changan touched the brick and said, "Feng Zhihong, recruit more people and start mass production immediately. County Magistrate Wu, please cooperate with us."

If cement could be made, the brick would be even stronger, but unfortunately the most important limestone usually appears in shallow seas.

Feng Zhihong agreed and prepared to return quickly. After all, this matter was urgent.

Sheng Changan didn't plan to stay any longer. The wheat harvest would be here in another month, and this time she had to witness it with her own eyes.

Zheng Jun quickly asked people to try to see if they could make paper. Seeing that Feng Zhihong and the others had already made a great contribution, he couldn't fall behind.

This time, Sheng Changan specifically told a few people not to come to her tomorrow unless it was important, and she wanted to have a good rest. Since coming here, she gets up earlier than the chickens and sleeps later than the dogs.

Although her mental age was already quite old, this body was only ten years old. If she continued like this, she wouldn't be only this tall when she grew up! She didn't want to become like this.

But when she woke up again, there were still two dark circles under her eyes, perhaps because she had been thinking about it during the day and dreaming about it at night. She dreamed that she was still this tall when she was fifteen or sixteen.

Sheng Changan shuddered. No, no, she had to change her waking time and keep up with her nutrition. Thinking of this, she hadn't eaten meat since she came here, and now she felt her eyes were about to glow green.

Sheng Changan slowly finished washing up, and walked to the kitchen while thinking about this and that. As more and more people came into the mansion, the kitchen also hired a lot of people, and a few were assigned to cook for Shen Huaizhi, Feng Zhihong and others.

While no one was noticing, Sheng Changan simply sat in front of the stove, helped to add the fire, and roasted some potatoes. It was a pity that there was no oil, otherwise it would have been more fragrant.

Nowadays, most of these foods are cooked, and the cooking methods are really simple. We still have to find a way to get some oil and meat. I wonder if Shen Huaizhi caught the rabbit.

After breakfast, Sheng Changan decided to go to the county. He had been busy recently and hadn't visited Guangping County for a long time.

During this period, the county government was frequently recruiting people, and the farms also needed people, so the streets were mostly filled with women. With food, everyone's spirits improved a lot.

Suddenly a woman called her and said, "Why are you here, little kid? Didn't you go to school?"

At first, Sheng Changan didn't react until the woman grabbed her. Sheng Changan hesitated and asked, "Are you calling me?"

"Of course I'm calling you." The woman's voice was loud and clear, which quickly attracted the attention of many people, who gradually gathered around.

"Hey! Why does this kid look so familiar to me?" A woman thought hard, "Isn't this the county magistrate?"

The woman who was holding Sheng Chang'an quickly let go, saying, "Sir, it's my fault for being blind," and was about to kowtow.

Sheng Changan quickly grabbed her and said, "What does this have to do with you? You meant well." After thinking for a moment, he comforted her, "You did a good job. Next time you see a child not in school, tell them the same thing."

The woman heaved a sigh of relief and smiled sheepishly, "Sir, why are you out today?"

Everyone in the county knew that the county magistrate was very busy. If it weren't for her, they might not have enough to eat. So when the county government recruited workers, everyone was very enthusiastic.

"I came out for a walk," Sheng Changan smiled. At this moment, she really looked like a ten-year-old child.

The other women also gradually relaxed. "Sir, have you eaten? Why don't you go to my house for dinner?" "Let's go to my house, it's nearby." As they spoke, they started clamoring one by one.

Sheng Changan quickly waved her hand and said, "I've eaten." Seeing everyone's bright eyes, she could only continue, "Can anyone tell me about the history of Guangping County?"

County Magistrate Wu has only been here for ten years, and he certainly doesn't know Guangping County as well as the people do.

"What do you want to hear, sir? Almost everyone present has lived in Guangping County for generations," they said in unison.

Sheng Changan pondered for a moment and said, "It must be very cold here in winter!"

"It's very cold. Many people freeze to death every year, but this time we have adults here, so we will definitely be able to get through it safely."

"Yes, there is an adult."

Looking at the trusting eyes, Sheng Changan felt a little pressured. She didn't know how Lin Chuan and others talked about her to these people, and why they all seemed to really trust her.

Sheng Changan was silent for a while, then decided to change the subject. "Do you know anything about the Xianbei?"

After a long while, someone finally sighed and said, "When General Shen was around, the Xianbei didn't dare to be so open and honest, and we could barely get by. After General Shen's death, these beasts no longer tried to hide their true intentions and robbed many of our girls."

"Yes! I don't know if my Dani is still alive now?" A woman wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

The man in front continued, "Now we are the only ones left. All the good-looking ones have been robbed. They leave us here as their granary. They come back from time to time to steal our food, leaving only enough for us to barely survive."

"Perhaps because our numbers are dwindling, they rarely attack us now. As long as we obey them, we can survive."

"Do you know where the kidnapped girls usually go?" Sheng Changan frowned. That's why most of the people here are women.

Some people laughed bitterly and said, "How could they know that?" But if you think about it, their end will definitely not be good. How could they not know what a beautiful woman will encounter there?

Sheng Changan's eyes moved. She still had to find a way to rescue them, but this matter needed to be discussed later. Seeing the unhappy expressions of several people, she decided to change the subject. "Is there anything strange here? Anything is fine. For example, has there been any abnormal climate here before?"

Several women looked at each other, and then one of them hesitantly said, "I seem to have heard my father-in-law say that there seemed to be a storm here 20 or 30 years ago."

Some people don't quite believe "what's so strange about the wind"

The woman danced and said, "No, the wind was so strong that people were blown away and the house was destroyed."

Hearing this, Sheng Changan became serious. Why does this sound like a typhoon? "Tell me about it in detail."
