Transmigrated into a corrupt female county magistrate, defied fate and changed her life in a deserte
Chapter 247 Birthday Banquet
The man realized that he was wrong and immediately knelt down and kowtowed to admit his mistake.
"I just made a mistake in speaking, please forgive me, sir."
Song Jinshu hurriedly helped the man up and explained softly, "You did the right thing. You should always be more vigilant when you are out in public. Since I have asked you to come here, I will not treat you badly."
"Don't worry. During these three years, as long as you diligently complete the tasks assigned by your county magistrates, you will be provided with sufficient food and your wages will be paid on time."
"If during this process, someone doesn't want to do the work assigned by the county magistrate, they can resign and find their own way."
"I promise you that anyone who doesn't cheat or act cunningly within Shun'an Prefecture will have a place."
Everyone was excited by Song Jinshu's promise. They were all outsiders, and their biggest fear was being rejected when they arrived in a strange place.
Now with the promise from the county magistrate, my anxious heart instantly calmed down.
The man looked ashamed and solemnly apologized to He Hongshan for his mean-spirited behavior.
"He Jingli, I was blind and thought you were a bad person. I even said some unpleasant things to you. I'm sorry."
He Hongshan's originally ugly face softened instantly. He patted the man's shoulder and said, "I don't blame you. Do a good job in our Shun'an Prefecture in the future. I won't let you return empty-handed this time."
During the past few months of working with Song Jinshu, He Hongshan understood her personality. She was dedicated to benefiting the people and did not put on airs with her subordinates.
Dafang County.
After receiving the people, Xiang An met with them personally and explained to the refugees what they needed to do in the county in the next three years.
"In the next three years, as long as you complete the road construction according to my instructions, I will not treat you unfairly. In addition to providing three meals a day, each person will receive a monthly salary, ranging from 500 wen to 2 taels of silver, depending on the severity of the work."
Li Yong from Taohua Village, the man who had previously worried about being trafficked into an illegal kiln, raised his hand and asked a question.
"My Lord, I wonder how these jobs are divided, and what kind of work is required for a two-liang salary? How many people are needed?"
The other middle-aged men also had faces full of anticipation. Life was hard these days, and money was even harder to earn.
They left their hometown just to survive, and they never thought there would be a job paying such a high salary. How could they not want to fight for it?
Xiang An glanced at Li Yong and explained, "If you want a high salary, work hard. If you perform well, I will promote you to team leader. The better each team completes its tasks, the higher the team leader's salary will be."
"The amount of wages depends on the severity of the work. If the work is light, the wages are low. If the work is heavy, the wages are higher. Do you understand?"
The refugees, including Li Yong, said in unison: "Understood!"
The yamen runners personally took people to their destinations according to the household registration list. Fortunately, preparations were made in advance and the refugees adapted well.
In Shunan Prefecture, a group of disaster victims gathered outside the city again and moved back into the refugee camp.
With the experience from the previous time, the yamen runners registered the information and distributed the porridge in an orderly manner.
Suddenly, He Hongshan came to Song Jinshu to report: "Sir Song, something bad has happened. One of the new refugees has a high fever. I have ordered him to be placed in a separate isolation room."
"The refugees who had close contact with him were also placed in a separate observation room, and the doctor has gone to check on them."
Song Jinshu saw He Hongshan break out in a cold sweat. After all, the lesson of Dafang County three years ago was fresh in his mind. If a plague broke out, there would be no shortage of casualties.
"Don't worry too much. Follow our previous plan. Also, don't publicize this matter to avoid causing panic among the people."
"If the people in the city have nothing to do during this period, tell them to stop going to the city gates."
He Hongshan felt relieved after listening to Song Jinshu's detailed arrangements, and immediately went down to give the orders.
Song Jinshu was worried and went for a walk outside the city himself. He strictly ordered the patrolling yamen runners to disinfect with alcohol every day, and both refugees and civilians must drink hot water.
After the doctor examined several people in succession and found that it was not the plague, everyone gradually calmed down.
After gathering a thousand people outside the city, Song Jinshu was sent to Xiang An.
Xiang An had already started to order the people to clear the way. Seeing that the other county magistrates were not very enthusiastic, Song Jinshu waved her hand and said that whoever completed the county highway first would be given the position of county magistrate.
Sure enough, the next day after she sent the message, she received several letters urging her to send the gift.
Song Jinshu snorted coldly and decided to leave them alone for the time being. He wasn't in a hurry at other times, but now he starts to burn incense and pray to Buddha during the final exams?
70,000 to 80,000 refugees arrived one after another, and people from Dafang County and Guangrao County were all assigned to the refugees. One-tenth of the road has been completed.
The other county magistrates were extremely anxious and even came personally to grab the refugees and bring them to the county.
This scene stunned the newly arrived refugees. When did they become so likable?
Along the way, I don’t know how many times I have been looked down upon by the residents of the passing towns. How come they have become so popular in Shunan Prefecture?
Therefore, the refugees who arrived later were pulled onto carriages bound for the county town the next second after they arrived at the provincial capital.
There was also a joke among them. Someone thought he had encountered human traffickers, and after escaping, he reported it to the government.
Song Jinshu looked at the embarrassed magistrate of Datian County and was speechless. Wasn't this guy the one who opposed the most at the beginning?
Why are people being robbed so fiercely now?
The magistrate of Datian County smiled awkwardly but politely. Rather than being arbitrarily assigned by the court to continue serving as magistrate in a remote county after his term expires, it would be better for him to hold on to Song Jinshu's thick thighs.
Working for her is like gaining merit for free. If you endure for a few more years, you may be promoted to an official in Kyoto.
Song Jinshu didn't know about this and just thought that they were very ambitious.
In the blink of an eye, it was midsummer, and Song Jinshu ordered the garden of the county magistrate's mansion to be converted into an orchard.
She planted a variety of fresh fruits, including watermelons, grapes, and the specialties that Lu Ruoyu sent her last year, among which she found strawberry seeds.
This year she had them planted together, and it looked very festive at first glance.
Song Yunfu washed the freshly picked strawberries and handed them to Song Jin's desk with a smile.
"Sister, my birthday is coming soon, and I want to hold a birthday party at home."
Song Yunfu looked across at her with anticipation. Song Jinshu picked up a strawberry casually. It was very sweet!
"Of course! If you need anything, just tell the steward. I'll pay for it from my own treasury."
Hearing this, Song Yunfu looked around Song Jinshu's shoulders with joy and said coquettishly, "Thank you, sister, you are the best!"
Song Jinshu smiled without saying anything, and was able to watch all kinds of beauties displaying their talents in front of him.
It's funny to say that since she politely rejected the marriage proposals from a group of matchmakers last time, someone smart enough to see that she liked beautiful women would offer her dances and songs through various channels from time to time, making Song Jinshu almost fall from grace.
Until the news of her love for women spread throughout the city, officials and wealthy businessmen presented her with all kinds of beauties in order to please her.
Song Jinshu couldn't bear to let the beauties be widows, so he sent them all to a women's college for further study.
