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

If Liu Jiangyue wanted to expand two workshops, he might not be able to recruit people in Jingyang County.

Liu Jiangyue pursed her lips and smiled. She had considered this matter a long time ago.

"Cousin, if we can't recruit people in our county, we can go to other counties to recruit!"

Working across cities is something Song Jinshu is all too familiar with.

She didn't expect that Liu Jiangyue could learn everything by herself. He was indeed a born capitalist and knew how to do business.

"Alright! You can handle it yourself. Also, if we expand the enrollment to other counties, those people will be far away from home and will definitely need accommodation. Can you arrange this properly? Also, with so many people, it's easy for them to cause trouble, so we'll need to recruit some thugs to maintain order."

Liu Jiangyue nodded. "Of course. I noticed that quite a few escorts have come to our county, and I wanted to ask them if they'd be willing to come."

As long as she pays high wages, she won’t be worried about no one coming.

Things turned out just as Liu Jiangyue had expected. As soon as the recruitment information was released, all the women who met the requirements in Shun'an Prefecture came to sign up.

Because of the large number of people, the county magistrates of other counties were alarmed. When they heard about the recruitment of workers in Jingyang County, they felt a little relieved.

Because they owed Song Jinshu a favor, they did not try to stop him too much. Some county magistrates even went out of their way to inform poor families of the news.

If they get a job, their family's situation will improve.

The clever county magistrate thought more deeply. Since county residents could not leave or transfer their registered residence at will, even if they went to Jingyang County to work, they had to bring back the money they earned to support their elderly and children at home.

It can also boost the economy of their county, and the population will not decrease at all. When you think about it this way, isn't it just taking money from other people's pockets to fill your own wallet?

In Guangrao County, Wang Zhizhang frowned as he looked at the job recruitment information in Jingyang County, feeling unhappy.

In the past, their Guangrao County was the richest county in Shun'an Prefecture. However, due to a series of operations by Song Jinshu, it became the second richest county.

Now when people in other prefectures talk about the richest county in Shun'an Prefecture, they don't even think of Guangrao County.

Shi Zhubu secretly glanced at Wang Zhizhang's expression and regretted it deeply.

If he had known that Jingyang County would be in its current state, he would never have come to Guangrao County.

Now, he no longer has Wang Zhizhang's trust in Guangrao County, nor can he abuse his power to seek benefits.

It would be great if I could go back to Jingyang County.

But he knew deeply that Jingyang County was no longer within his reach.

The more Shi Zhubu thought about it, the more unbalanced he felt. He gritted his teeth, a gleam in his eyes, and walked forward to greet him flatteringly.

"Sir, I have something to report."

Wang Zhizhang was feeling depressed and needed someone to vent his anger on. Seeing Shi Zhubu coming over, his tone became harsh: "What's wrong?"

Shi Zhubu paused, his face filled with worry. "I recently checked the accounts and found that the relief grain in our county has decreased a lot. I also found out that there are more beggars in the county."

The law stipulates that if the number of people in the county under the jurisdiction of a local official who starves to death or dies of cold exceeds a certain number, the local official's term of office will be extended by one year.

Therefore, officials who have been promoted to higher positions would provide aid to poor people every year to reduce casualties in the county.

Among the people who received support, beggars received the greatest support.

After all, beggars have no home and no food to eat, so they can only survive by begging.

In cold winters or when supplies are scarce, local officials will provide free porridge. Although it cannot keep them warm and full, it can ensure that they survive.

The more beggars there are, the more people they need to help, and the more food they have in their pockets.

Wang Zhizhang frowned and felt even worse. This Shi Zhubu would definitely cause him trouble.

Thinking that it was not yet winter, these beggars could find food in the mountains, so he said, "Drive them out of the city and mark out a mountain for them to find food on their own."

"If you are unwilling, you will be expelled from Guangrao County directly."

Shi Zhubu's eyes rolled and he chuckled. Wang Zhizhang knew at a glance what bad idea he had come up with.

Thinking about the previous incident in which he had offended Song Jinshu, and now that the other party did not hold a grudge against him and instead generously sold him rice seeds, he would not be ungrateful and do something that would harm others and not benefit himself.

However, Shi Zhubu had no idea what his boss was thinking. He narrowed his eyes and suggested, "I have a good idea."

"Isn't Jingyang County recruiting workers now? Those beggars have all the necessary limbs, they're just a little older, smaller, and thinner, so it won't affect their work at all!"

"I thought, since they have hands and feet, why don't they do some work? If you can help them make a living, it will add to your achievements, and we won't have to spend a huge amount of food to support the poor."

“Isn’t this the best of both worlds?”

Wang Zhizhang frowned, then thought about it and felt that it made some sense.

"But those beggars are weak and most of them are sick. How can they have the strength to work?"

"Sir, you're mistaken. Mr. Song from Jingyang County has always been a man of great compassion."

"I heard that the doctors in her county and even the poor families can see a doctor for free."

"Furthermore, the county has established a charity foundation association specifically to help these sick women and children. Sending the beggars there will be beneficial for their future and will also better demonstrate Mr. Song's broad-mindedness..."

Shi Zhubu knew all about the affairs of Jingyang County, but there was a hint of sourness in his words.

It was obvious how eager he was to go back.

Wang Zhizhang glanced at Shi Zhubu indifferently, and was very disdainful of him. This guy should not be reused!

Here, Shi Zhubu talked about many advantages of Jingyang County. Wang Zhizhang felt unbalanced at first, but after listening to Shi Zhubu's words, he was in awe of Song Jinshu.

I didn't expect that she, a weak woman, could do so many things on her own.

One of these single challenges was something he didn't dare to think about now.

By the time Shi Zhubu finished talking, Wang Zhizhang already had admiration for Song Jinshu in his eyes and heart.

"Sir Song deserves the title of loving the people like his own children. I am far inferior to him."

Shi Zhubu blinked his innocent eyes. Combined with what he just said, did he indirectly help Song Jinshu become famous?

Wang Zhizhang's eyes flashed with shame. Compared with Song Jinshu's noble character, his petty mind seemed so ridiculous.

For what happened in the past, he felt he needed to write a letter of apology.

A few days later, Song Jinshu was stunned when he received an apology letter for no apparent reason.

After reading the contents of the letter, she shook her head and smiled helplessly. If she hadn't been told about it, she would have almost forgotten it.

However, when he mentioned the beggars' livelihood, Song Jinshu fell into deep thought.

If we can solve the beggars' livelihood problem, we will give them a way out.

She thought she might be able to collaborate with other county magistrates.

After all, if this matter could be accomplished, the emperor would be very pleased, and it would be a great achievement for each of the county magistrates.

Whether it is moving up in the future or increasing your salary, it will be beneficial and harmless.

After thinking about it, Song Jinshu started to plan...

After spending several days in the county government office, the bailiffs were frightened when they saw how diligent Song Jinshu was.
