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

"Oh! I know that too! Isn't this a solution?"

Village chief Zhang was so anxious that bubbles formed at the corners of his mouth, and his eyes kept glancing towards the county town.

I was hoping to see that familiar figure, but after waiting for a long time, no one showed up.

Village chief Zhang was extremely anxious. Could it be that Lord Song didn't want to come today because the weather was bad?

If this is true, what should they do?

When he thought of this possibility, Village Chief Zhang could no longer sit still. His eyes wandered around and he saw Wang Laoer, who looked equally anxious not far away.

"What do you think about Wang Laoer's matter?"

"That's right! You have to talk to the county magistrate about this matter of nephew Wang Er. Our lives are in your hands."

Everyone in Wangjia Village gathered around Wang Er. Everyone was confused and worried.

Wang Er frowned and pursed his lips. What his uncle and aunt said made sense.

He still remembered that when he was a child, his third uncle was doing labor service and working in the rain. He caught a fever at night and died the next day.

It will definitely rain today, and it will be heavy rain!

Thinking about how anxious Lord Song was about the progress of the canal, he felt uneasy and didn't dare to make any promises to the villagers of Wangjia Village.

"Oh! I...I'll think of a way. When the adults come, I'll talk to her about it."

Human lives are at stake, so even if it means risking Lord Song's displeasure, he will still fight for everyone.

"Young man from the Wang family! Come here for a moment. I want to discuss something with you!"

Wang Er turned his head and saw that it was Village Chief Zhang who was looking for him.

With just one glance, both of them knew what the other was thinking and stepped back tacitly.

"Young man, you should know why I'm looking for you! It's dark out here, and it's going to rain heavily! Our county is poor, and we don't even have a doctor. If you get sick, you can only wait to die."

Wang Er was silenced by Village Chief Zhang's words, because he knew that what Village Chief Zhang said was not an exaggeration at all.

His uncle broke his leg and the bleeding couldn't stop, so he died, leaving behind an orphan and a widow, who lived a hard life.

"Alas! I also want to tell you this. When Lord Song comes, why don't we go together..."

The two of them were discussing countermeasures here, and so was Song Jinshu. She looked at the messy drawing she had drawn with a bitter face.

It looked like a road above, but when I looked closer, I found that it was a canal running through Jingyang County.

However, only one third of the project has been completed, and there is still more than half left.

"Sir, County Magistrate Lu wants to see you!" a bailiff shouted outside the door.

"Please!"

Song Jinshu straightened the drawing and tried to make it look smoother.

I looked up and saw Lu Ruoyu walking slowly towards me.

"County Magistrate Lu, you're here! I was looking for you for something!"

During this period, the two of them were busy with their own things and had not seen each other for several days.

But who is Song Jinshu? She is very familiar with people, and even though we haven't seen each other for several days, she doesn't feel strange at all.

Instead, Lu Ruoyu stared at her face for a few seconds. Why did she become so darker?

Compared to the fair and tender girl in my memory, she is now as pretty as Cao Dutou.

"Come and help me see if we can save time by digging the canal along this line."

Seeing him coming, Song Jinshu pointed at the messy drawing and said.

Lu Ruoyu glanced at it quickly and thought seriously: "Although this line shortens the time, it increases the labor cost, especially here!"

He pointed to a raised area and said, "I have walked here before. From here to the bottom, the road is all gravel, and the soil is as hard as stone.

Even if we deal with the gravel, this soil will still be difficult to dig and will damage farm tools!"

Breaking farm tools is equivalent to taking people's lives.

In those days, iron belonged to the imperial court. Ordinary people had to register with the government office before they could buy a piece of farm tool at a designated place.

Although there is an iron mine in Shunan Prefecture, it is heavily guarded by the imperial court. Anyone who dares to mine it privately will be punished by having his entire family exterminated.

"Is there no other solution? I'm worried that the rain will be heavy and long, and the nearby villages will suffer."

She wanted to dig the canal in advance to reduce the losses for the county residents.

Lu Ruoyu paused. Song Jinshu was more enthusiastic about the canal than anyone else.

This can be seen from the fact that she personally supervises the work every day without fail.

He came here today because he was worried that she would ignore the consequences and force the villagers to dig the canal in the rain.

"Don't worry, sir. In my opinion, this rain won't last long. We've already reinforced the dam walls and dug a lot of canals. Even if the dam collapses under the weight, it won't flood the village."

Lu Ruoyu's comfort was effective. Song Jinshu sighed and nodded silently.

Forget it, let’s proceed according to the original plan!

She folded the drawing and put it in the drawer.

Seeing Lu Ruoyu still there, he asked, "Is County Magistrate Lu not busy today? By the way, what did you come to see me about?"

She had forgotten that it was Lu Ruoyu who came to find her.

"Sir, there is a possibility of rain today, so digging the canal will need to be postponed for a few days."

"County Magistrate Lu and I have the same idea. I was thinking of going over to tell them!"

Since he knew the purpose of his visit, Song Jinshu didn't say anything more and walked past him to go out.

Lu Ruoyu followed closely behind and advised, "Sir, why don't you let Cao Dutou handle this matter? If it starts to rain later, it would be bad for you to get sick in the rain."

Seeing that Song Jinshu's waist had become thinner in just a few days, Lu Ruoyu was worried that she would catch a cold.

If it were the Song Jinshu from before, he wouldn't even bother to glance at her and would just let her live or die.

Right now this...

"It's alright! I have other matters to tell the villagers."

She ignored the advice and took two steps outside. Then, as if she had thought of something, she stopped and looked back. "Secretary Lu, give me some money. I haven't received my wages for today."

Lu Ruoyu's body didn't stiffen, he thought the other party suddenly figured it out.

Who knew that he wanted to pay money!

"Please wait a moment, sir. I will get it for you right away."

……

On the way to the water channel.

Song Jinshu looked at the tall man beside him in confusion. "Why did County Magistrate Lu come with you? It's going to rain soon, don't catch a cold."

Lu Ruoyu covered his mouth and coughed to hide his embarrassment: "I have something to do with the villagers."

"Oh, that's how it is!"

Song Jinshu didn't bother with him. With someone following her, she didn't have to walk by herself.

Looking at the slowly moving cow, Song Jinshu sighed. She felt like a person without a driver's license in her previous life. She had to ask others for permission and read their faces wherever she went.

After she survives the crisis, she will go to Shunan to buy a magnificent carriage and hire a personal coachman.

Lu Ruoyu was driving the car seriously, but one could also feel her strong resentment.

What's going on here?

He thought for a while and decided that he had not sinned against her. That was good!

Finally, after rushing for a long time, the two arrived in the anticipation of all the villagers!
