I am happy to be a mother in a famine year, I have a system to farm the land

The county magistrate searched for it for a long time and couldn't help but narrowed his eyes.

"So, the money to buy this workshop was paid by your whole Xiaozhangzhuang?"

Li Zheng nodded, "That's true, but at that time, only people from our Xiaozhang Village could contribute some money. After all, Qiu Qi opened such a big medicine shop, which made everyone's life more comfortable."

"Then the income from this cement workshop also belongs to your little Zhangzhuang?"

"Yes, by the end of the year, the income from our cement workshop will be distributed equally to every household in the village."

When the magistrate heard this, he couldn't help but gasped.

No wonder the development of Xiaozhangzhuang is so fast. It is strange that there is such a united Zhuangzi and it cannot develop.

"To be honest, I waited to come here today because of the cement workshop."

Li Zheng's heart tightened, "My lord, what's wrong with that cement workshop?"

Now that the cement workshop earns a lot of money, he also wants to give everyone more money at the end of the year.

If something went wrong in the workshop, how would he explain it to the villagers?

Seeing Li Zheng's nervousness, the county magistrate raised his hand to signal him to be calm.

"There is no need to worry about Lizheng. There is nothing wrong with the workshop. It's just that I don't know when the cement will be sold. If it is possible, I also want to pave some roads in the county with this cement."

Li Zheng finally understood what the county magistrate wanted to do, and nodded while looking at the narrative. Li Zheng suddenly became excited.

"I'm dissatisfied with my lord. Now the cement is only sold among our villages, and has not been sold to other places. If my lord really wants to buy this cement, why don't we ask Qiu Qi?"

Faced with such a big deal, Li Zheng was still apprehensive.

If he could have Zhu Qiuqi by his side, he would feel more at ease.

The food that Zhu Qiuqi cooked today was also extremely rich, even the county magistrate, who is not greedy for appetite, couldn't help but sigh with emotion after eating.

"I wish my wife's craftsmanship is really amazing."

Li Zheng also stayed at the Zhang family today, and when he heard the county magistrate's praise of Zhu Qiuqi, he nodded again and again.

"Qiu Qi, please don't be so busy, my lord has something to discuss with you today."

When the old lady of the Zhang family and others heard this, they immediately took the eldest daughter-in-law and Aunt Tian to the kitchen to clean up, leaving Zhu Qiuqi behind.

Seeing the tea served by Pei Yuan, Zhu Qiuqi was not polite.

"My lord, I don't know what you need to find a civilian girl?"

The county magistrate looked at Lizheng, and Lizheng immediately told him about the magistrate's desire to buy cement.

Zhu Qiuqi understood, "If you want to buy cement, you can do it, but I don't know if you want to spread the cement inside or outside the city."

The county magistrate didn't understand what Zhu Qiuqi meant, but he felt that there was no need to hide this matter from Zhu Qiuqi.

After all, only people from villages like Xiaozhangzhuang and Sunjiazhuang can make this kind of pavement. If you buy cement, you will definitely have to find these people to pave the road, right?

"If the price of cement is affordable, I would like to buy more."

Zhu Qiuqi is happy, the county magistrate wants to bargain with her.

"My lord, please rest assured that the price of this cement is not very high. Except for some costs, it is the manual fee of some workers, and no other fees will be charged."

Zhu Qiuqi's words are true, the lime they sell is indeed not expensive.But the workers who pave the roads charge very high wages.

Zhu Qiuqi also found a way of life for those workers.

The county magistrate was very happy, "To be honest, if it is possible, I hope that the roads in the city that are not paved with green bricks will be paved with this cement. And I look at the road that leads from Xiaozhangzhuang to the county. After laying cement, I wonder what Madam Zhu has in mind?"

Zhu Qiuqi couldn't help but sigh in her heart when she heard the words.

Sure enough, he is an official, his mind is really active.

"Since your lord has asked, the girl will not hide it from your lord. Your lord has also seen that our Xiaozhangzhuang and the nearby villages are opening workshops, and there will definitely be more people here in the future. If possible, I want Get through the road from Xiaozhangzhuang to the county town."

The county magistrate was stunned for a moment. When he realized the meaning of Zhu Qiuqi's words, he couldn't believe it.

"Madam Zhu, do you want to build shops along this distance?"

Zhu Qiuqi nodded, "Sir, you must have seen the river behind our village, right?"

The county magistrate nodded blankly, wondering why Zhu Qiuqi was talking about the business route just now, why did he suddenly talk about the river?

"I saw it, I don't know what is the relationship between the business route mentioned by Mrs. Zhu and that river?"

Zhu Qiuqi was happy. Before that, she went to look along the river on purpose, and found that the river here was connected with the river at the other end of the county, which surprised Zhu Qiuqi.

"My lord, although our Qingshui County is a small county, there are not a few merchant ships passing through here."

The county magistrate only felt that his heart was about to jump out of his chest. Hearing Zhu Qiuqi's words, a thought actually appeared in his mind, but he didn't dare to speak.

"What do you mean by wishing your wife?"

Zhu Qiuqi looked at the county magistrate like this, and didn't hide it.

"My lord doesn't know that the river behind our village is connected to the river outside the county seat. If we re-establish a wharf in Qingshui County, the river in our village would be a good place."

The county magistrate was short of breath, Master Xu also put down the teacup in his hand, Li Zheng was even more astonished.

No one expected that Zhu Qiuqi actually wanted to open a dock here.

"Your Excellency may think about this matter carefully. It will be a good thing for you and Da Zhou."

The opening of the waterway has indeed increased commerce, but this is not a trivial matter, and the county magistrate dare not accept it casually.

"I will consider this matter carefully. I have temporarily decided on the cement for my wife. You... you can ask the workers to do more. It will be of great use to me."

Zhu Qiuqi knew that the county magistrate was shaken.

I'm not afraid that the magistrate's mind will be shaken, but I'm afraid that the magistrate doesn't have the heart to be promoted.

The county magistrate, Master Xu and others left in a hurry, and then Li Zheng approached Zhu Qiuqi.

"Qiu Qi, what you just told the adults is true?"

Zhu Qiuqi nodded, not shy about it.

"Uncle Li Zheng thinks I dare to lie to the county magistrate about such a big matter?"

Li Zheng couldn't help but patted his forehead, "You girl, why are you so bold? The dock is a matter of the imperial court, how dare you interfere?"

Zhu Qiuqi was helpless, "Uncle Lizheng, have you forgotten what I told you before? You also said that you wanted to make life better for the people of our Xiaozhangzhuang."
