Transmigrated into a corrupt female county magistrate, defied fate and changed her life in a deserte
Chapter 203 How could it be you?
"I understand! I've already had the rice harvested and weighed. It's all in my county granary now. Governor Liang, please follow me there to take a look."
The eyes of the Liang County Magistrate sank slightly, and the smile on his face faded a little.
On the way to the granary, he felt very depressed. After all, he was the prefect of Shun'an Prefecture. Song Jinshu got high-yield rice seeds but did not report it to him earlier.
Instead, he was informed only when the crops were harvested and stored and reported to the court. It was obvious that they did not trust him and were on guard against him.
Thinking of the emperor's decree, he had no choice but to swallow his grievance.
I'm afraid that the position of the county magistrate will be unstable. I just hope that if I had told Song Jinshu in advance about the plot against her by people from Zheng'an Prefecture, she would treat me better after she takes the position.
I don't ask to continue to occupy a high position and have real power, but at least I won't suppress his influence.
The granary was located right next to the county government office, and the two arrived there in just a quarter of an hour.
The gatekeeper saw Song Jinshu coming and greeted him respectfully before opening the door.
The Liang County Magistrate glanced at the yamen runner. This man had very poor eyesight. Couldn’t he see such a big living person?
Never mind, it’s just a private visit today.
Seeing the Liang County Magistrate being humiliated, Song Jinshu's mouth curled up slightly. She still remembered that the Liang County Magistrate had cooperated with the Princess and the Wise King to plot against her.
These three people must be having an affair!
Song Jinshu took the Liang County Magistrate to the rice warehouse as if he was familiar with the place. The grain inside had been dried and the yamen runners were piling up bags of grain into a small hill.
There was also a large amount of rice scattered on the side, which was dazzlingly golden.
The governor of Liang County was stunned on the spot, and his cloudy eyes became bright.
At this time, a yamen runner was packing rice. The prefect of Liang pushed him away. The yamen runner was about to scold him, but was comforted and left by Song Jinshu.
"This...this...I have never seen such plump and round rice in my ten years as an official. It also has such a rich aroma. It must taste sweet!" The governor of Liang said excitedly while holding the rice.
He is in a complicated mood now. When he came here, he thought Song Jinshu was exaggerating, but after reading it, he felt that Song Jinshu was too reserved.
If it were him, he would definitely submit five or six pages of memorials.
After the excitement, he felt a little disappointed deep in his heart, and a sense of loss that he was not even aware of.
He had to admit that Song Jinshu was indeed much stronger than him.
"Master Liang, this is the yield per acre, and..."
Song Jinshu took the account book and explained everything in detail, and the governor of Liang County gradually calmed down.
He glanced at Song Jinshu with a complicated expression and sighed silently. Why didn't he have a better life than others?
"Sir Song's achievements are astonishing. I will tell the emperor the true situation here. Sir Song, please stay at home and wait for the reward from above!"
It would be better to transfer her to Kyoto instead of attacking him here.
……
The governor of Liang County came suddenly and left quickly, and even refused to be invited to dinner by Song Jinshu.
This year's autumn harvest includes not only rice, but also sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn.
General Huo received the news first and secretly brought his men to Jingyang County.
Song Jinshu led them to the farm purchased by the Liu family outside the planting city. Most of this year's sweet potatoes were grown there.
There were three rooms full of sweet potatoes, and fifty bags of potatoes and corn.
Looking at the full warehouse of grain, Huo Fang smiled innocently: "Good sister! You are great. After I win the battle this year, I will definitely give you the first merit when I return to the court next year!"
Song Jinshu didn't dare to take credit for it. He pointed to the food in the room and said, "I've already asked the emperor for permission to take all the food here. Big brother, just take it all."
Long before informing the Liang County Magistrate, she had secretly written a letter to Tutor Zhou in Kyoto.
Taifu Zhou naturally conveyed the message to the emperor, so while the letter from the Liang County Magistrate was still on the way, the emperor's order had already arrived.
Huo Fang nodded in satisfaction. He also received the emperor's instruction that he would secretly transport the grain to the border.
Wait until winter to stage another drama with the emperor, wait for the enemy to take the bait, and then catch them all in one fell swoop.
If this battle is successful, the Jinghe Dynasty will be able to gain a hundred years of peace.
With food now available, only cotton remained. Huo Fang asked, and Song Jinshu replied, "The cotton yield this year is low. Perhaps the land we chose is not suitable. But don't worry, big brother. My people have already found 70,000 kilograms of cotton outside."
"In a few months, we can still scrape together tens of thousands of dollars. Adding that to what we have in Jingyang County, we'll have at least 180,000 kilograms of cotton."
This amount is enough to make cotton clothes for all the soldiers at the border to keep warm.
You can even make a fortune selling cotton-padded jackets.
Huo Fang expressed great confidence in Song Jinshu's work.
In the following half month, with Lu Ruoyu's secret help, Huo Fang transported all the food to the border.
The weather began to turn colder. Song Jinshu caught a cold at night and was absent from work for a few days. He pushed all the work in the county government to Lu Ruoyu.
After Old Lady Liu found out, she watched over Song Jinshu while he took his medicine every day, and it was impossible for him to take advantage of the situation.
Wu took advantage of her free time to make two thick clothes each for Song Jinshu, Liu Jiangyue and Song Yunfu.
In addition, knowing that Song Jinshu often went out on errands, he added two thick hooded cloaks.
Song Jinshu was moved and gave Liu Jiangyue new recipes from time to time, and the Liu family's business flourished.
Liu Jiangyue started from scratch by relying on the products developed by the prescriptions, and stood on the same front as the merchants who had been entrenched in Jingyang County for many years.
Because of his relationship with Song Jinshu and the Liu family's honest and principled business practices, Liu Jiangyue's business career went smoothly.
Liu Zhile was completely fascinated after visiting the hot spring town once, and would go there for a few days every now and then.
Old Master Liu scolded him but he just couldn't change his bad habit of not staying home, so he simply let them go and focused on training Liu Jiangyue and Liu Yuanyi.
Now Liu Yuanyi refused Song Jinshu's offer to help him get into Songjun Academy through the back door, and was admitted to the county school on his own ability.
Because he was really talented in studying and could understand things quickly, Xiao Jianqing even thought about taking him in as a student.
Yao asked around and learned that Xiao Jianqing was a capable Jinshi. She was so happy that she didn't know what to do.
He tried his best to promote the master-disciple relationship between Liu Yuanyi and Xiao Jianqing, and even set up a buffet on the street at his own expense for three days.
As for the fact that her husband was not at home, her mind was full of her son's studies, or she would drag her sister-in-law Wu to find someone to play mahjong with. She lived a fulfilling and happy life.
……
In November, the weather turned cooler and there was news from the Liang County Magistrate.
The letter said that the emperor's reward would arrive tomorrow.
The Song and Liu families are both busy...
The next day, before dawn, the yard was already busy.
Even Song Yunbing, who was married, came home to help with her pregnant belly.
Old Lady Liu was quite frightened when she saw her big belly, so she quickly asked Concubine Xiang to take her into the house so that no one could see her.
Finally, the servant reported that someone had arrived from Kyoto!
Song Jinshu led the two families to the front yard to wait for the imperial edict. Wu had already prepared red envelopes as rewards.
When Song Jinshu saw who was delivering the imperial edict from Kyoto, he was surprised and delighted.
"How could it be you!"
