Transmigrated into a corrupt female county magistrate, defied fate and changed her life in a deserte

After the two sides praised each other's business, Song Jinshu brought the topic back.

"I wonder why you, sir, have come to Jingyang County?"

The other two people looked at Xiang An at the same time.

Xiang An stood up seriously with a cute face and bowed respectfully to Song Jinshu again.

Song Jinshu was startled and quickly stood up to avoid the greeting.

Just kidding, they are both officials, it is not proper for him to bow to her.

"I came here this time to express my gratitude to Lord Song for saving the lives of the people of Dafang County."

A hint of surprise flashed in Song Jinshu's eyes, and he shook his head kindly: "Master Xiang, there is no need to be like this. I am an official appointed by the court, and it is my duty to help the people."

Xiang An sighed slightly, and the two of them sat back in their seats, chatting casually, "Actually, my ancestral home is Dafang County. I came back this time because I wanted to help my hometown, and it was also my father's wish."

Song Jinshu was stunned. So that's why he came to express his gratitude.

Xiang An's accent doesn't sound like he's from Dafang County. He must have left when he was a child.

Now he has returned home in glory, and he is a man who never forgets his roots.

Song Jinshu silently gave him a thumbs up, and the person opposite also looked at Song Jinshu with admiration.

He arrived in Dafang County and looked up the important events in Dafang County. Seeing how they prevented the epidemic, he was deeply moved.

If he were to do it, I'm afraid he would be far from being able to achieve this level.

They were obviously the same age, but the other person's thinking was far superior to his.

In the future, he should learn more from Song Jinshu and live up to his official position.

"Jingyang County and Dafang County are close to each other. Lord Song, please take good care of us in the future."

"Of course, of course. Please give me your guidance, sir!"

"The food is getting cold, how about we eat and talk at the same time?"

This table of food is very expensive, we can’t waste it!

After dinner, Song Jinshu and the other three sat down to drink tea and have snacks.

"By the way! Lord Xiang is coming from Kyoto?"

Xiang An took a sip of tea and nodded in response, "Yes, when I was in Kyoto, I heard about Lord Song's great achievements. I admire him."

"I've been to Jingyang County before when I went home to pay homage to my ancestors. I never thought that after several years, I would see its changes with my own eyes. It's really amazing."

As he walked along, he noticed the people's respect and kindness towards Song Jinshu, and everyone had a happy smile on their face.

You can see that they are living well now.

Song Jinshu shook his head modestly: "This is just the beginning! I still feel I haven't done enough. Next year, Jingyang County will definitely have a new look. I hope you will do me the honor of coming to see it!"

Xiang An paused. She was too immodest. She should not brag too much.

Although she did a good job in epidemic prevention and control before, it does not mean that she treats people's livelihood equally well!

No matter what he thought in his heart, Xiang An responded with a smile.

He still understands this aspect of human nature.

Song Jinshu was in a very good mood and suddenly felt itchy. Looking at Xiang An's honest appearance, a glimmer of light and calculation appeared in his eyes.

"Master Xiang, why don't you stay in Jingyang County today? It's getting late, and I heard there's a bandit incident on the road from Jingyang County to Dafang County. The whole journey is not safe."

Xiang An thought about it and nodded in agreement. He had also heard about this matter. When he returned, he would send people to the mountains to suppress the bandits to prevent the passing people from suffering.

"Why don't we go to the hot spring resort? It's getting cold now, let's go take a bath together and play mahjong for a while!"

After these words were spoken, Shen Fenghua's eyes widened, while Lu Ruoyu looked bitter.

It is true that one family is happy and the other is sad, and happiness and sadness have nothing to do with each other.

"Mahjong?" Xiang An frowned in confusion.

It sounds like something entertaining. Could it be a new way of playing chess here?

Xiang An's heart moved slightly. He looked mature beyond his years, but he was actually only nineteen.

Now that he met his neighbor, he suddenly felt playful and nodded in agreement.

Song Jinshu was happy. This time he could kill the newbie again and let him experience the harshness of society!

While chatting, Lu Ruoyu had already arranged a carriage, and the few of them got on and headed towards Wenquan Town.

Because most of the new road has been paved, they took a shortcut, and the rest of the journey through the village would greatly shorten the time.

They soon arrived at the area where workers were repairing the road. Song Jinshu opened the car window and looked at the workers working outside.

This scene happened to be seen by Xiang An. When he came from Dafang County, he saw a new road at the fork in the road in the county town.

I didn't expect them to come along this road today.

"How can we open up a new road on this official road?"

Road construction is extremely expensive and time-consuming, so recruiting laborers every year is very time-consuming.

After all, each company has limited labor, and many people are unwilling to do it.

What Xiang An found most surprising was that the laborers in front of him were almost all middle-aged laborers. They were full of energy when doing their work, and their faces did not show numbness, but happiness and satisfaction!

This is simply unbelievable!

Looking at Xiang An who was in shock across from her, Song Jinshu's smile deepened. What she was building now was a highway!

The official road is like a national highway, and it takes half an hour to drive through several bends.

"If I'm not mistaken, this road has been straight since we left the county!"

And they rarely take detours. Except for going around the big mountains, they also flattened all the small hills!

"Master Xiang, do you think this scene is comfortable to sit on?"

Xiang An pursed his lips and nodded silently. It was indeed very comfortable, only slightly worse than the blue brick floors in Kyoto.

This road is the best in the city!

"Comfortable is the right thing to do! This road is called the highway! Places that used to require climbing over several mountains to reach can now be reached in just half an hour!"

"Hiss..." Xiang An took a breath. This was simply unbelievable.

"Can you tell me why such a road was built?"

He was very puzzled, after all, the expenses for all the buildings in the provincial capital and the county town were paid by the local government itself.

The imperial court couldn't get a single word out of her. Where did she get so much money, and how could she get the people to come willingly to build the road?

Doubt weighed on Xiang An's mind. He wondered if Song Jinshu was taking advantage of his official position to enrich himself or to exploit the people!

If that were the case, no matter how outstanding she was, he would not bother to make friends with such a person.

Because she doesn't deserve it!

"Have you ever heard the saying, 'If you want to get rich, you must first build roads?'"

Song Jinshu didn't care what he thought at all. After all, the silver that the original owner had embezzled was already in the space. Even if he dug three feet deep into the county government office, he wouldn't be able to dig out a single copper coin.

"If you want to get rich, you must first build roads?" Xiang An murmured to himself in a low voice, his eyes becoming brighter and brighter. This idea is quite novel!

Although there are only six simple words, each word captures the essence. Isn't the reason why a city is rich because of its well-connected roads?
