I have already established my power and prestige, so how did Li Shimin come back to life?

There was a slight tremor in his voice.

Wu Meiniang looked at them gently and said, "Don't be shy, fellow villagers. Please tell me what you want to say."

Wang Er summoned up his courage and said, "Sir, my family's land is barren and we have nothing to eat. My children are crying with hunger. Sir, please save us."

Wu Meiniang immediately said, "Don't worry, folks. The county is already counting the warehouses and will soon release the grain so that everyone can fill their stomachs first.

The man next to him hesitated for a moment, then said, "Sir, my house was vandalized and is now on the verge of collapse."

"But I really don't have the money or manpower to repair it. My whole family can only huddle in that dilapidated place. Every time it rains or blows, we are always worried. Sir, please help me."

Wu Meiniang frowned slightly and asked with concern, "Don't worry, first tell me where your house is and what is the specific damage to the house?"

The man quickly replied, "Sir, my home is in the east of the city. There are several big holes in the roof and cracks in the walls. It feels like it will collapse at any time."

Wu Meiniang thought for a moment and said, "You go back first. The county will arrange for someone to check it out as soon as possible."

"Although Shou'an County is facing difficulties now, as long as we unite as one, there will be no obstacles that we cannot overcome."

"I plan to organize some experienced craftsmen and able-bodied people to help you repair your house. I will definitely not leave your family homeless."

The man nodded, with a look of doubt in his eyes.

An old woman in ragged clothes came forward with a cane and cried, "My Lord, I have no one to rely on. After the disaster, there is no more food at home. I am about to starve to death. Please save me."

Wu Meiniang hurried forward to support her, her eyes firm as she said, "Don't be afraid, Auntie. The county has arranged for people to check the warehouses and will open them immediately to release the grain and relieve the people's urgent needs first."

"Auntie, please rest for a while in the county government office and have a drink of water. Once the food is distributed, you can take some back with you."

The old woman said excitedly: "Thank you, County Magistrate, you are a good official!"

Wu Meiniang smiled and shook her head.

On that day, the county government opened its granaries and released grain, giving the hungry people a full meal.

Anyone who wants to eat can come to the county government office to drink porridge.

A young man in tattered clothes watched Wu Meiniang busying around, giving porridge to the people.

Finally, he mustered up the courage to step forward, bowed respectfully to Wu Meiniang, and said, "Your Excellency, County Magistrate, I am from Shou'an County. Seeing that Shou'an County is in need of reconstruction, I want to contribute to my hometown."

"I have some knowledge of literature and writing. I wonder if I could help out at the county government office, organizing books and documents, or perhaps teaching the children so they can have some knowledge in the future."

Wu Meiniang was originally confused when she was stopped, wondering if this was another citizen seeking help.

When she heard the man in front of her say this, she suddenly looked happy.

"You have such a kind intention, and this county welcomes it."

"We are in need of talents like you right now. You can help organize the paperwork for the county government first. Once the school is ready, you can teach and educate people later."

"What's your name?"

The young man replied: "Lin Yu."

Wu Meiniang nodded.

"Lin Yu, from now on, you will settle down in the county government office."

"When sorting through documents, if you find any records about Shou'an County's past livelihoods, land, commerce, etc., you should highlight them. This will be of great help to the county in understanding its situation and formulating policies."

Lin Yu replied, "I understand. I will do my best."

These days, Wu Meiniang had hardly any rest.

We solve various problems for the people every day.

The people of Shou'an County gradually felt the sincerity of the new county magistrate.

Although she was just a woman, she was the best official the people of Shou'an County had ever met.

Problems that can be solved will never be delayed and will be solved on the spot. Problems that cannot be solved will also be written down first.

Wait until you can resolve it.
