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

"You! What did you say?"

Xiao Tan's eyes widened in disbelief, his head buzzing.

We will never see each other again in this life. What a heartbreaking statement.

How could such cold and piercing words come out of Yue'er's soft lips?

Xiao Tan's passion was completely dampened by the icy rain, and his burning heart gradually cooled down.

The love in his eyes gradually gave way to hatred and expectation, and he asked coldly, "Are you really like that?"

Liu Jiangyue paused and nodded gently: "Yes! My Lord, please don't bother me again in the future!"

"I once saved your life, and now you've been injured because of me. We're even now. From now on, let's go our separate ways!"

There was no sound at the scene for a long time. Xiao Tan's self-esteem was shattered to pieces. He was completely disappointed with Liu Jiangyue.

He was such a gifted child, yet he humbled himself to the ground for a woman, and the other party did not appreciate it at all.

Xiao Tan was proud of himself. He said calmly with a cold face, "Okay! Don't regret it later!"

Liu Jiangyue just smiled faintly and didn't reply. After making sure that the two of them had talked it out, she left.

As she breathed in the fresh air again, the huge stone weighing on her heart seemed to disappear, and she felt relaxed.

From now on, she will live her own life, and all the noble families and marquisates have nothing to do with her.

On this side, Song Jinshu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the yamen runner report that Liu Jiangyue had come out safely.

How could she not know that Liu Jiangyue had also been moved by him, but Xiao Tan was not a good match for him.

Now that he is in power, he will naturally be nice to Liu Jiangyue in every way, but what about the future?

With Xiao Tan's overbearing personality, if he really doesn't love her anymore, how can Liu Jiangyue live a good life?

Her cousin is talented and beautiful, and is as good as anyone in business. She is also smart and will definitely make a name for herself if she works hard.

Isn't it better to live your own life freely and take the right to choose into your own hands than to live under someone else's roof and depend on others for food?

Before sunset, Xiao Tan was taken away by his men, and Jingyang County returned to peace.

The next day, the sun shines brightly.

The morning sun was warm, and Song Jinshu took a tour along the Runfeng River.

Along the way, you can see villagers diverting river water to irrigate their own farmland. With the help of water trucks, the villagers' work is much easier.

Instead of relying on carrying water on shoulder poles as before, villagers only need to sit in the shade and chat, and then stop the flow of water when the river water is almost enough for irrigation.

A sharp-eyed villager spotted Song Jinshu.

"Master Song, are you here for inspection again?"

Song Jinshu smiled gently and said, "Yes, old man! How are the crops growing these days?"

The villagers laughed and said, "Hey! It's great! Thanks to the water truck that Mr. Song sent to our village, I, an old man, have a much easier time every day."

Another woman saw Song Jinshu from afar and rushed over, smiling and pouring a cup of honeysuckle tea for Song Jinshu.

"Master Song, this is some flower tea my little girl picked in the mountains. It's not expensive, but it's fine if you dry it at home and drink it as tea. Take some home with you!"

Song Jinshu shook his head and declined: "Auntie, this honeysuckle is a medicinal herb and very valuable. You can keep it for drinking or sell it. It would be a waste to give it to me!"

The woman groaned, feigning displeasure: "Sir, are you unable to see my scented tea? It grows everywhere on this mountain. How much is it worth?"

"You treat us common people well. My daughter-in-law has also been able to work in a clothing workshop because of your kindness. She earns a lot of money every year."

"We country folk don't have much good stuff, these scented teas are the only things we can offer. If you don't accept them, you're looking down on us!"

Song Jinshu smiled helplessly: "Aunt, you're getting more and more serious. Fine! I'll accept this honeysuckle tea, but please don't give it to me next time!"

"Hey! Hey! All right! Then I'll put it in the carriage for you, okay?"

The woman handed it to Wang Er beside the carriage with a smile, twisted her waist and went back to the big tree in the village to chat gossip with others.

During his inspection, Song Jinshu would occasionally encounter people forcing him to collect flower tea and wild fruits.

Fortunately, they were all born and raised in the mountains behind the village. Song Jinshu didn't want to disappoint them, so he picked out some worthless ones and accepted them.

After returning, I will let the yamen runners distribute it and make some tea to relieve fatigue in the hot weather.

Around 3 p.m., Ran Chu came to the door.

Ranchu walked in hurriedly and said from a distance: "It's so hot, it's cooler here, sir!"

Song Jinshu poured her a cup of cold tea and said with a smile, "Why are you here at this hour in the sun?"

Ran Chu was not polite at all. He drank a sip of cold tea to relieve the heat before telling her his purpose.

"Sir, I have already used the livelihood manual you gave me earlier in my teaching of my students. Needless to say, these people have picked it up much faster."

"I'm here to ask you to write a job posting. We're looking for a teacher who can write and draw. We'll have them write manuals for the teachers in our academy who can't read!"

Song Jinshu smiled slightly. "That's easy. I'll write it down in a minute. Oh, and I was just about to mention that the Technical Training Academy is recruiting new students this September. Do you have any ideas?"

Nowadays, the students in the technical training college are all excellent talents carefully selected by Ran Chu.

The college will officially enroll its first batch of students in September this year, so it naturally needs to be handled with caution.

Ranchu thought for a moment and said, "The technical training academy is different from the county school founded by the adults. The county school trains students for the imperial examinations, while the training academy is more inclined towards manual labor."

"What I mean is that when recruiting students, there should be age restrictions and they should be tested on their strengths."

After a pause, Ranchu asked carefully, "And regarding this Shu Xiu, does the lord have any ideas?"

She couldn't figure out whether Song Jinshu set up this technical training academy to cultivate talents and earn some tuition fees, or to let students study at his own expense and assign them jobs after graduation.

Song Jinshu was silent for a few seconds, then said softly, "Apart from tuition, if students are good at a certain craft, they need to buy the tools themselves."

"They also have to buy the textbooks compiled by the teachers themselves. From now on, the teachers' salaries at the academy will be paid by the county government."

Ran Chu understood and was happy for the future students of the academy.

Song Jinshu immediately wrote the recruitment conditions and posted them. Within two days, Ranchu had recruited a suitable teacher to compile the book.

On the other hand, she also gathered together the teachers who had passed the county school teacher examination.

It is now the end of July and August is approaching. The county school will start recruiting students in September.

Now that the instructor of the county school has not been decided, Song Jinshu has to do everything himself.

After the teachers arrived, Song Jinshu said, "I think everyone is familiar with each other now! I called you here today to inform you that the county school will officially start recruiting students in September."

"Before that, the county school's instructor should be decided. Let's start organizing a competitive examination in ten days!"
