"who!"

Liu Jingmo was horrified and looked around vigilantly. At this time, Ding Yi had been shot and fainted, and the scene was in chaos.

He hurriedly sent for a doctor. Ding Yi died, but he had to know the person behind the scenes.

Now Ding Yi is the only breakthrough point, and we must not let him die like this.

Inside the Jingyang County Government Office.

The day to collect salary finally arrived. Song Jinshu dressed festively early in the morning and waited at the gate of the county government office for the official sent by the prefecture to distribute the salary.

Lu Ruoyu and Shen Fenghua were standing beside her. They looked at Song Jinshu, who was trying hard to suppress the smile on his face, and they had different thoughts in their minds.

Lu Ruoyu was thinking in her mind whether she should give her some money in private.

As the head of a county, if her eyes light up and she can't walk every time she sees silver, it will be easy for others to exploit her weakness and she will inevitably be deceived by others again.

Shen Fenghua was much calmer. Having been with the emperor for so long, no one had ever used more direct methods than Song Jinshu.

Seeing that Song Jinshu could no longer stand, Lu Ruoyu suggested considerately, "Your Excellency, why don't you go back and rest for a while? I'll let you know when someone arrives."

Song Jinshu clapped his hands and refused, "I'm not tired! If you're not actively working for your salary, there's something wrong with your thinking. County Magistrate Lu, you don't understand the hardships we workers go through."

It turns out that the rich second generation cannot empathize with the working people!

It's really sad. The three of them are the three pillars of Jingyang County, and she is the boss of the two of them, but it happens that these two subordinates are richer than her.

She is such a miserable boss.

Lu Ruoyu was silent. Although he didn't understand what she meant, he could guess her true thoughts from her expression.

"Puchi..." Shen Fenghua suddenly laughed out loud beside him.

Song Jinshu frowned and raised his chin and asked, "Is it funny that I'm poor, Mr. Shen?"

"Puchi... No... No! That's not what I meant. It's just... seeing you like this reminded me of someone."

"Who?"

Shen Fenghua hurriedly shook her head and waved her hands: "No! Nothing!"

How dare he tell the truth? I'm afraid even ten heads wouldn't be enough for him.

Given the emperor's pettiness, he will definitely hold a grudge.

To be honest, Song Jinshu is quite similar to the current emperor in some aspects.

"Look, someone's coming!"

Upon hearing this, Song Jinshu quickly looked up. He had been waiting for the person to arrive for a long time.

This is the first time she has received a salary since she came here!

The salary of the Jinghe Dynasty was paid every six months. The original owner received it in advance before taking office, so this was the first time she received her salary in person after she came.

"Are you Lord Song Jinshu?"

The official glanced at the three of them, then focused his attention on Song Jinshu.

Song Jinshu smiled and bowed, "I am Song Jinshu. The food is ready. Shall we eat and chat?"

It was their unspoken rule to entertain officials on payday. The official nodded without refusing, and they carried the silver into the county government gate together.

Song Jinshu glanced at the box. It was similar to what he remembered, but he didn't know if some of the silver would be deducted.

"Sir Song, we have delivered your salary. Your half-year salary is 12.6 taels, 37.5 dan of rice, and 175 mu of official land... Please examine it, Sir Song. If there are no problems, we will take our leave."

Listening to the official's words, Song Jinshu quickly converted them into RMB in his mind. After conversion, it was about 13.55 taels for half a year, 2.26 taels for a month, and about 27.1 yuan for a year.

After some calculations, Song Jinshu took a breath. In her previous life, she worked very hard for a month and her salary was only 3,000 yuan.

Unexpectedly, once she traveled through time, she not only achieved a class leap, but her salary also increased more than ten times.

I admit that I spoke too loudly to you before!

She chopped off your head in her previous life, and she has no guilt in accepting this salary!

Song Jinshu smiled so hard that her teeth were showing. She only looked at the account book handed over by the official and made a rough estimate.

Then he said cheerfully, "I trust your character, young man. This money is not missing a single cent. This is to treat you and your brothers to tea. Please don't mind."

The officials were very satisfied with Song Jinshu's behavior and were not surprised by her giving them gifts. Their job was a lucrative one by default, and the money was not a burden to them.

"Sir Song, you are too polite. I came here today to convey a message on behalf of the county governor. The tax revenue will be doubled next year. No matter what, Sir Song, please pay the tax on time.

I have delivered the message. I have other things to do. Goodbye!"

Lu Ruoyu had already reminded her of this once before, and Song Jinshu sent the man away without changing his expression: "Okay, take care!"

When he could no longer see anyone, his face instantly turned gloomy. The people in Jingyang County were so poor that they were dressed in rags and were as thin as skin and bones.

If her news were to spread, Song Jinshu was really afraid that they would rebel and then kill her first to boost morale.

"Oh, what's wrong with this!"

I just hope that the hot spring villa will become a hit this winter, make more money, and increase people's income so that their lives can be easier.

What Song Jinshu didn't see was that the two people behind him had their brows furrowed so hard that they could pinch a fly to death.

The two looked at each other and saw something wrong in each other's eyes.

Although the current emperor only cares about money, he is definitely not someone who ignores the suffering of the people.

It is obviously not right to increase taxes for no reason.

Apart from natural disasters, there are man-made disasters.

Thinking of the Ruifeng caravan that Lu Chuan and his group encountered not long ago, a certain idea suddenly appeared in their minds.

War!

Lu Ruoyu and Shen Fenghua's faces changed instantly. This was more serious than a natural disaster.

Song Jinshu has already pocketed his salary. With the money, he can finally renovate the back hall.

She didn't want the house to leak again when it rained next time.

According to the date, it will not be long before heavy rain will fall in the Shunan Prefecture area, and then the river dam will be washed away, and the people will suffer from floods.

Then came the plague...

Previously, Lu Chuan did not invite a doctor to Jingyang County, but he brought back a lot of medicinal herbs for Song Jinshu.

Moreover, some of the accompanying prescriptions contain common medicinal herbs such as those for relieving wind-cold and reducing fever.

She didn't understand medicine. In her previous life, the original owner had been thrown into prison. She only knew that not long after the plague broke out, the court sent imperial physicians to treat the disease.

With these medicinal herbs, even if the people of Jingyang County still get sick, they can rely on medicine to prolong their lives.

The other Song Jinshus were powerless and could only do their best and leave the rest to fate.

Before this, Song Jinshu had ordered all villagers in Jingyang County to reinforce their houses and build drainage facilities.

Villagers were not allowed to sell their surplus grain outside. As for residents in towns who needed to buy grain, they had to purchase it from government grain stores and several grain shops.
