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

"People are already struggling, how can we raise taxes? Isn't this just forcing them to die?"

Song Jinshu stared at Lu Ruoyu seriously and said solemnly, "County Magistrate Lu, don't bring up this idea again in the future."

At the same time, her eyes revealed a hint of disappointment towards Lu Ruoyu.

Judging from his daily behavior and how kind he is to the people, how could he not understand such a thing?

Lu Ruoyu was silent. This was not his original intention, but she had no intention of increasing taxes, which was exactly what he wanted to see.

"Your Excellency is teaching me that I was too talkative."

Song Jinshu nodded and said, "Not bad. It's a great virtue to correct one's mistakes as soon as one realizes them!"

"Alas! But we should find a way to make money, otherwise we won't be able to pay the yamen runners' wages next month."

Although she buried 90,000 taels of silver in the toilet, that was her life-threatening money and she couldn't take it out easily.

Now Shen Fenghua is watching her closely, so only a fool would take the risk of taking it out.

Lu Ruoyu remained silent. Although he was worth over ten thousand, he knew nothing about business.

So I can't think of any good ideas at all.

"Hey! Got it!" Song Jinshu stood up suddenly, his eyes shining.

Although Jingyang County is notoriously poor, the scenery here is very beautiful.

If tourism projects are developed, it will definitely boost the economy of Jingyang County.

There is no shortage of rich people in any era. As long as she creates attractive tourist attractions and attracts those people, why should she be worried that Jingyang County will not develop?

However, she was not familiar with the terrain of Jingyang County and could not come up with any good ideas.

Song Jinshu fixed his gaze on Lu Ruoyu, his hands tucked into his sleeves, and bared his teeth as he asked, "County Magistrate Lu, are you familiar with the terrain of Jingyang County? I need your help with something..."

Lu Ruoyu looked up in confusion, and seeing her eyes full of calculation, her heart skipped a beat and she felt something was wrong.

What kind of bad idea is this?

...

It rained for another day, and finally after three days of continuous rain, the sky cleared up.

Early in the morning, Song Jinshu was half asleep and half awake when he heard the sound of playfulness coming from outside.

"Finally the sky is clearing up! If it doesn't stop raining, I'll have nothing to wear!"

"That's right! When I went to bed at night, I felt that the quilt was damp. When the sun comes out, I have to take it out and dry it in the sun!"

"Me too…"

Song Jinshu slowly woke up to the girls' voices. She rubbed her eyes and forced herself to wake up.

The weather is clear! She has something to do again!

Without saying much, she simply washed up and went out, and happened to meet Song Yunfu.

"Where are you going, elder sister?"

"Fu'er! I won't be having breakfast at home today. Please tell Third Sister that she doesn't need to prepare my meal."

Song Yunfu nodded obediently, her eyes slightly turned, and she asked in a soft voice, "Is my elder sister going out to handle official business again?"

"Yeah! I might be back late today, so you don't have to wait for me for dinner... I'm going out now."

Song Jinshu waved his hand, quickly left the backyard and headed straight for the hall.

As soon as I entered, I saw Lu Ruoyu already sitting inside taking care of chores.

"Why did County Magistrate Lu come so early today?"

Lu Ruoyu put down the work in her hands and looked up at her: "The master is here too!"

"Then let's go?"

Lu Ruoyu didn't ask where they were going, and just went to pull the ox cart out obediently.

An hour later...

Two people and an ox cart were traveling on the bumpy road, and Song Jinshu and Lu Ruoyu were sitting side by side in the front room.

When they arrive at a place, they will stop and observe for a while, then take notes.

In just one morning, he had already filled three or four sheets of paper.

Song Jinshu held the written notes, and the joy on his face could not be hidden at all.

Smelling the scent of ink coming from the paper, her heart was filled with pride.

Who was spreading the rumor that Jingyang County was poor and barren?

This cliff is a masterpiece of nature. If it were in modern times, it would be an AAAAA scenic spot!

She has already imagined how prosperous Jingyang County will become in the future!

Out of the corner of Lu Ruoyu's eye, she only saw her holding the paper and smiling foolishly, as if she had picked up gold for free.

"Why are you so stupid, sir?"

Hearing the question, Song Jinshu's smile faded a little, and he pretended to be serious and said, "I'm hungry!"

After visiting so many places, even though she had a cow to get around, she was still starving.

Lu Ruoyu was stunned for a moment, then raised the corner of her mouth helplessly, and said in a calm voice: "Walk another kilometer and there is a small town. You can eat these cakes to fill your stomach first. When we get to the town, we can look for a restaurant."

After saying that, he took out a box of still warm pastries from his lapel and handed it to Song Jinshu.

Song Jinshu looked at him in surprise and muttered, "County Magistrate Lu, you are so considerate! Your wife will be blessed in the future."

He is so handsome, gentle and considerate. I don’t know if that girl will be lucky enough to marry him in the future!

"County Magistrate Lu, you are not young anymore, are you? It's time to consider getting married. Do you have a girl you like? If you need, I can act as a matchmaker for you."

When talking about getting married, for some reason, the figure of Song Jinshu appeared in his mind.

Realizing what she was thinking, Lu Ruoyu's face turned pale.

Then he heard her talking about matchmaking for him, and his face suddenly darkened again.

When Song Jinshu saw his expression change instantly, his heart skipped a beat and he didn't dare to mention it again.

As expected, no matter what era, urging people to get married is unacceptable! It's simply annoying.

In this way, the two of them walked in silence all the way, and finally began to see the village.

When we got closer, we found that there were about a few hundred households here and a few shops on the roadside.

The two found a noodle shop and sat down on chairs on the street.

Needless to say, this is the town that Lu Ruoyu mentioned just now!

It looks like a slightly wealthier village.

Lu Ruoyu observed Song Jinshu looking around and explained, "This place wasn't originally a town. It was a combination of several village heads. Over time, it slowly took on this appearance."

Song Jinshu suddenly realized: "So that's how it is!"

"Sir, please enjoy your noodles!" The noodle shop owner brought two bowls of steaming noodles and placed them in front of them.

The aroma of the noodles made Song Jinshu's stomach growl.

"County Magistrate Lu, let's eat first!"

Let’s talk about other things after we finish eating!

As he said this, he didn't care whether Lu Ruoyu had picked up his chopsticks or not, he just buried his head and started eating.

This was not the first time the two of them had eaten at the same table, and Lu Ruoyu was no longer surprised by it.

He picked up his chopsticks and tasted the food slowly and leisurely.

Passersby couldn't help but swallow their saliva when they saw how deliciously Song Jinshu was eating. Finally, they couldn't help but go into the store, ordered a bowl of noodles, and started eating it, imitating her movements.

You know what, this is really delicious!

The noodle shop owner couldn't stop smiling when he saw this, and gave Song Jinshu and Lu Ruoyu an extra bowl of bone soup.

"Hey! Have you heard? There's a cave in the mountain behind our town, and the water coming out of it is warm!"

The conversation between the people at the next table naturally reached Song Jinshu's ears.
