Transmigrated into a corrupt female county magistrate, defied fate and changed her life in a deserte
Chapter 230 Gratitude or Resentment?
Amid the anger of the ministers, Grand Tutor Zhou naturally made suggestions.
"Your Majesty, you previously promised that if Magistrate Song passed the assessment at the end of her term, she would be promoted to the position of County Magistrate in Shun'an Prefecture. However, her achievements far exceed the assessment requirements, and she has already served three years, leaving her only two years away from the five-year deadline."
"The Liang prefect was dismissed from office for conspiracy to rebel, and the Song magistrate is the most suitable person to take his place."
This was Xiao Ren's own promise, and Song Jinshu had the right to take over as the governor of Shun'an Prefecture.
Xiao Ren felt excited. God knew that every word that Master Zhou said touched his heart.
How could a capable minister like Song Aiqing be confined to a small county town?
She should soar between heaven and earth, contribute to his country and his great achievements.
Together they created a prosperous and flourishing world...
He wants to be a wise ruler throughout history and be admired by future generations.
Seeing that the court officials were speechless after being told by Grand Tutor Zhou, Xiao Ren's smile deepened.
"Grandmaster, you are right. I have long promised you, my dear Song, that I would take over Shun'an Prefecture in the future. The changes in Jingyang County over the past three years are obvious to all. Your dear Song is capable enough to handle this important task, and even serving as an official in the capital is within your reach."
The court suddenly became as quiet as a chicken. What else could they say?
First, you don’t have the ability as others, and second, you don’t have the emperor’s favor, so you’d better keep your head down and live a human life!
As a matter of course, Song Jinshu was appointed as the prefect of Shun'an Prefecture without knowing it. At this time, Jingyang County was approaching the end of the year.
As the New Year approaches, Jingyang County is extremely lively.
The Liu family made a lot of money this year. Before the New Year, Liu Jiangyue calculated the accounts and gave Song Jinshu the dividends that had been agreed in advance.
When Song Jinshu saw the thick stack of banknotes on the table, his hands were shaking. These banknotes must be worth at least 200,000, if not 500,000!
Liu Jiangyue smiled and said, "Cousin, these three hundred thousand taels of silver notes are your dividends this year. I didn't expect our business to be so prosperous. Most of this money was earned in Kyoto. It's a pity that we only opened a small shop in Kyoto, otherwise this money would definitely be more than doubled."
"Next year I plan to open two more shops in Kyoto. I've already prepared the necessary capital investment, and all the profits will be yours."
Song Jinshu's eyes lit up, and he couldn't let go of the box of banknotes, smiling inexplicably.
"Yue'er, just go for it. I'll be your strongest support. If you have such a good opportunity to make money in the future, don't forget me!"
Liu Jiangyue covered her mouth helplessly and laughed: "Look at what you said, cousin. If I didn't have the recipe you gave me, I might not be able to earn so much money in my lifetime."
"After the New Year, I plan to open another restaurant and sell the liquor recipe you gave me. We will then open restaurants all over the country. By then, you will be the wealthy manager behind the scenes. Let's build a business together and become the richest man in the country!"
These were the promises Song Jinshu had made for her. She always kept them in mind and made them her life goals.
Song Jinshu was so happy that he talked a lot of big things, but the girl opposite him was the one who bought into it.
After hearing these words, she was determined to join the party.
……
The New Year is approaching, and it’s time to prepare the New Year gifts.
Song Jinshu received 300,000 taels of silver notes, and he was very generous with his New Year gifts. The gifts he gave to the families in Kyoto were also more generous than usual.
In addition to bringing some local specialties, she spent a large sum of money to get the opportunity to exchange prizes with the system, and won a dozen longevity pills.
He left three for the two elders of the Liu family and Old Master Liu, and sent two to Grand Tutor Zhou and Old Madam Zhou, as well as his benefactor Huo Fang.
She actually wanted to send one to the emperor, but the emperor's status was precious and the foreign items had no source. She didn't know how to explain it, so she directly gave two to Huo Fang and let him do with the other one.
There are only three left. Song Jinshu thought about it and decided to keep them as backup, as they might be of great use in the future.
While she was carefully preparing the New Year gifts, New Year gifts from all over the country also arrived.
The Song family's warehouse was filled with New Year gifts. Song Yunqing, who was tidying up the warehouse, felt tired and sweet.
With the eldest sister around, will the Song family still have to worry about not being able to bring honor to the family in the future?
The day before New Year's Eve, Manager Wu came to the Song Mansion and Song Jinshu received him personally.
He brought two large boxes of gifts and handed the sealed letter to Song Jinshu, saying.
"Sir Song, this is what the master ordered. There are many surprising toys and local specialties in here..."
Song Jinshu read the letter at a glance, then chatted with Shopkeeper Wu for a while with a smile.
"Manager Wu, please tell him that I will wait for him to come back and celebrate the New Year next New Year's Eve."
Shopkeeper Wu smiled and nodded, and the two chatted for a few minutes before going home.
This year's New Year's Eve was the same as in previous years. After dinner, the Song sisters went out for a trip.
Song Jinshu thought of the Yuan family members in the county government office, and specially asked someone to send them fresh vegetables so that they could cook their own New Year's Eve dinner. As for Yuan Guanbei in prison, she also kindly asked him to come out and have New Year's Eve dinner with his family.
The Yuan family was very grateful to her. Due to their special status, although they were under constant surveillance by yamen runners during this period, they were free to move around.
There is no shortage of food and drink here, and they don’t have to suffer the cold in the winter. Their life is better than in the mountains.
Seeing the changes in their family, the Yuan Guanbei brothers smiled at each other and silently prayed in their hearts that the emperor would re-examine the unjust case of their Yuan family.
Restore your civilian status as soon as possible and live a normal life.
Yuan Guanbei was even glad that he had done this, otherwise he would have made a big mistake and would have no chance to make up for it.
Before he knew it, Song Jinshu had walked to the prison cell, gave the yamen runner on duty his homemade white wine as a snack, and then took a look around himself.
In the farthest corner, a lonely and thin figure was found. That person was none other than the one-eyed Zhang Ergou.
Seeing Song Jinshu coming, Zhang Ergou opened one eye, took a look, and then closed it again.
Seeing his fearless look, Song Jinshu laughed for no reason: "Zhang Ergou, why didn't you react when you saw me coming?"
Zhang Ergou looked her straight in the eye, snorted, turned around, and said calmly, "Master Song, you came to see a dying man like me. Aren't you afraid of being tainted with bad luck?"
Today is New Year's Eve. In autumn, he will be executed.
Death is death whether early or late, so Zhang Ergou might as well give up.
Song Jinshu showed the food box in his hand and said as he opened the cell, "I am sending you a New Year's Eve dinner. Since you have no family around, I'm afraid no one will spend money to prepare it for you. You must have one last New Year's Eve dinner before you die."
Zhang Ergou in the corner looked away and suddenly felt a lump in his throat. His parents died shortly after he was born, and he was abused by his relatives. He grew up eating at other people's homes.
As far as he could remember, he had never had a New Year's Eve dinner.
I didn't expect that I could be extravagant before I died. It makes my life worthwhile.
But he didn't expect that the person who brought him the New Year's Eve dinner was Song Jinshu, who would chop off his head in the future.
He had mixed feelings, not knowing whether he felt more gratitude or resentment.
