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

"Village Chief Zhang, your village is closest to the dam. I don't believe you don't know the situation of the dam. Do you know what will happen to you if the dam collapses if you don't get away early?"

A trace of struggle flashed in Village Chief Zhang's eyes, but he still gritted his teeth and said tremblingly: "The river dam matter will be handled by you adults."

This was said with confidence, but it also made sense. Song Jinshu suffered a loss at the hands of the original owner, so he had no choice but to take the blame.

Since she can't convince me with reason, I'll just use force!

"I'm telling you the truth, if this rain continues for another four or five days, I'm afraid the river dam will no longer be able to hold on, and Zhangjia Village will be the first to suffer.

You are the village chief, you can't just watch the villagers die in vain, right?"

"Your Excellency the County Magistrate! This..."

He didn't expect Song Jinshu to speak so bluntly. If the dam collapsed, wouldn't she be afraid of taking responsibility and being blamed by the court?

Even if the previous county magistrate did not do any real work, he would still pretend to have people repair the dam, even though the materials used were of inferior quality.

But it’s also like Song Jinshu, who instead of repairing the dam, wanted to drive them away!

Jingyang County has such a county magistrate. What a sin our ancestors must have committed!

Village chief Zhang was disheartened. Why did God treat them like this?

It’s not enough that we sent an official who doesn’t do his job. After he finally left, another one comes. God is so unfair!

Village chief Zhang lost his balance and was about to fall to the ground. Song Jinshu hurriedly supported him. Looking at the old man like this, she couldn't bear it.

After slapping them, she had to give them some candy!

"Village chief, I know what you are thinking and understand your concerns. I will take care of the food problem. I am only asking you to leave the village temporarily. If the weather clears up in the next few days and there is no risk of the dam collapsing, you can still go down the mountain.

I have already ordered the recruitment of laborers, and we will begin digging the canal in the next few days. In half a month, perhaps the people of Jingyang County will no longer have to worry about the problem of dam collapse.

Perhaps the poorer the place, the more children people have. Although the people in Jingyang County are extremely poor, they have many children.

She calculated that if there were no other accidents, the canal could be dug in half a month.

This is also thanks to the fact that Jingyang County is not very large, otherwise it would take at least one or two months to dig it out.

Village chief Zhang was stunned by her words. How could he not understand what the county magistrate said?

Could he build a dam stronger than iron? Otherwise, how could he avoid the danger of the dam collapsing in the future?

"Mr. County Magistrate, what did you mean by food?"

I don’t know if it’s what he thought.

Song Jinshu glanced at the village chief playfully, and his ears seemed to improve when he heard about food.

"What I mean is that the government will be responsible for your food after you go up the mountain. But there is one thing: there is a fixed amount of food. There is no excess!"

Her expression turned serious, and she said sternly, "If I find out that anyone dares to deceive me, all county benefits will be revoked."

"I dare not! But...how did you get the food to the villagers?"

Village chief Zhang still didn't have much trust in the county magistrate, Song Jinshu. He was afraid that she would just talk the talk and not do anything.

What can they do if he or she doesn't give them food?

He also thought clearly. Just one look at the group of yamen runners following behind Song Jinshu, and he knew that they had to leave today!

Song Jinshu thought to herself, this village chief is quite shrewd! But it's a good thing to be thoughtful. At least he knows how to judge the situation, so she doesn't have to waste her breath.

“If you have a list of the village’s population, I will arrange it after I return, and it will be sent to the mountain tomorrow.

But you must leave the village tonight, even the guard dogs are not allowed in the village!"

She always had a bad feeling, as if something big was going to happen. To be on the safe side, she decided to be cautious and asked the villagers to go up the mountain in advance.

The village chief got the promise, and although he was reluctant to give up his crops, he was also very afraid of Song Jinshu.

He simply agreed and sent his grandson, who was standing far away on the roadside, home to get the booklet.

This is thanks to the fact that there are many babies born in their village this year and they all need to be registered, so he compiled the information in the village.

It happened that the government office was recruiting forced laborers these two days, so he saved himself the trouble and submitted the list on the same day.

Song Jinshu was very satisfied with the efficiency of Village Chief Zhang, and she followed him around the village.

She noticed that the villagers would hide from her when they saw her, and some would even leave their farm tools in the fields and run back home when they saw her coming.

So she looks scary?

Village Chief Zhang also saw this scene. He smiled awkwardly and said, "Country people don't know the rules. I'm sorry to make you laugh."

But he couldn't hide the smile on his lips, and seeing that Lu Ruoyu, who was following closely behind him, did the same, her face darkened.

"Sir, we should go to the next village." Lu Ruoyu whispered in her ear.

It was getting late and there were still two villages to go. If we were any later it would probably be dark.

Song Jinshu looked up at the sky, but it was already late. She reminded the villagers again that they must go up the mountain tonight before taking them to the next village.

As night began to fall, the group returned to the county town tiredly.

Because it was raining and we had been walking on muddy ground for a whole day, everyone was covered in mud and looked very disheveled.

Song Jinshu looked at everyone and couldn't help laughing, especially when she noticed the thick layer of mud on Lu Ruoyu's boots, she couldn't hide her smile.

This child must not have grown up in the countryside. There was so much mud on his shoes, but he didn't even find a stone to rub it off. Instead, he walked such a long distance dragging such heavy mud.

Of course, she is not much better!

There was mud all over my clothes, especially on my back, and even on the back of my head.

She coughed, then looked at everyone and praised them, saying, "It's been a hard day, everyone must be tired!"

"Not tired!"

"Sir, we are not tired!"

The yamen runners all said they were not tired, but Song Jinshu could hardly ignore the sparkling and expectant look in their eyes.

Fortunately, she is not a black-hearted boss and will not let her subordinates work illegally.

"I have always kept my word. The government office has been in trouble for the past few months and has owed you monthly wages. Fortunately, the situation has improved, and today, I will make up for it.

By the way, everyone has worked hard today, so everyone will be rewarded an extra ounce! I hope everyone will keep up the good work and continue to do a good job. You will definitely benefit from it."

The yamen runners jumped for joy like children, and the atmosphere suddenly became lively.

Because Shi Zhubu had resigned and the county government had not yet recruited a new one, Song Jinshu handed over the matter of paying the monthly salary to Lu Ruoyu.

It is called "those who are capable must work harder"!

Of course, she doubled his monthly salary as a bonus.

Lu Ruoyu sighed helplessly. He must have owed her in his previous life!
