Walking into a cesspit, the best evil widow wants to stand up

County Yamen

The county government office seemed particularly lively today, with people constantly coming in and out of the door.

"Sir...there is good news again!"

With the sound of hurried footsteps, the county magistrate walked in at high speed, with an uncontrollable smile on his face, and even his mustache trembled with the smile.

"Oh, what's the matter?"

Standing in front of the desk, Magistrate Xu held a brush in his hand and was splashing ink on the paper, writing vigorously and forcefully.

Today is a good day, with good news coming one after another, and writing is much smoother. Magistrate Xu looked at the words on the paper and nodded with satisfaction.

The county magistrate clasped his hands in his fists and bent down to salute: "Sir, the village chief of Daxia Village just came to report that the well dug in Daxia Village has also produced water."

"Okay!" Magistrate Xu touched the roots of his chin and nodded repeatedly while looking at the words on the table.

Looking at the words written by Magistrate Xu on the table, the county magistrate flattered him again: "The words written by your Excellency are really strong and powerful, with flying dragons and phoenixes. It really makes me sigh when I look at it!

Seeing Gao Dao bowing and licking his smiling face, Magistrate Xu felt disgust in his heart, but it didn't show on his face.

At this high speed, do you think he is like those faint-hearted officials who like to listen to flattery? I'm afraid he will be disappointed.

"Ha ha……"

Magistrate Xu laughed dryly and put the brush on the pen holder: "High-speed, how many villages have dug out well water so far?"

"Back to the master..."

A total of 16 villages have dug wells, and even the three villages that were the driest before have started to have water from their wells. "

"it is good……"

County Magistrate Xu nodded. He didn't expect that this three-year-old man would be so lucky. Thinking that Mrs. Shen didn't come at the beginning and only sent his third son, he was still worried.

Unexpectedly, Sister-in-law Shen's son was so good at digging water out of more than a dozen villages in just over ten days. Based on this calculation, it is estimated that the remaining villages will be able to get water in less than half a month.

Although it is still impossible to grow food, at least the urgent need has been solved. The next step is to see whether the court can allocate some disaster relief funds and open warehouses to release food.

Gao Gao looked at Magistrate Xu's calm face and couldn't guess what he was thinking. After thinking about it, he said cautiously: "Sir, should we report our current situation to the court?"

If the drought continues and the wells dry up, they will have no choice but to wait until the imperial court orders them to flee the famine.

But now, if we can dig out the well water and report it to the court, we might be able to claim credit, and maybe even get the court to allocate some disaster relief funds, so we can make some money at that time.

After hearing the words of the county magistrate, Magistrate Xu frowned and was silent for a long time before saying: "Let's suppress it for now, wait until the remaining well water is dug out, and if it hasn't rained yet, we will report it then.

"But……"

The county magistrate wanted to say more, but Magistrate Xu waved his hand: "Nothing, just do as I say!"

The county magistrate opened his mouth but said nothing more.

What can I do? My official position is not as big as his! Moreover, this County Magistrate Xu is not like other county magistrates in the past. He has no money or salt.

There is no official who doesn’t want to gain benefits, he is stupid! I just want to do things for the people. No wonder! No wonder he was demoted to this mountainous place in the capital because he offended so many people!

Ugh!

The county magistrate sighed indignantly, he would have suffered a lot if he followed him.

"Go down, what's the matter? Do you have anything else to do?" Magistrate Xu raised his eyebrows when he saw that Gao Dao had no intention of leaving.

Hearing Magistrate Xu say this, the county magistrate reacted: "Young man, get out right now!" After saying that, he bowed and bowed and left.

Looking at Gao Gao's back, Magistrate Xu curled his lips. This highway was a bit interesting. He was anxious about things that he was not anxious about.

Don't think that you don't know his little thoughts. He just wants to search for money and do things under his own feet. If he doesn't follow the rules, he will be punished.

Suddenly, there were soft footsteps outside the door. Listening to these footsteps, it must be Madam! Magistrate Xu couldn't help but frown.

Sure enough, in an instant, Mrs. Dong arrived at the door. She was wearing a lavender satin dress. She looked fair-skinned, with willow eyebrows and a small upturned nose. She did not look like someone who was nearly 40 at all.

Mrs. Dong raised a smile and looked at Magistrate Xu: "Master, what did you just say to the magistrate? Why do I think his face doesn't look good?"

"Madam, you are worrying too much." Looking at the gentle and quiet Mrs. Dong, County Magistrate Xu couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth: "Madam is particularly beautiful today, but which lady do you want to go shopping with?"

After hearing her husband's compliment, Mrs. Dong held a handkerchief, covered her mouth and chuckled: "You are the only one with a poor mouth, but I like it!"

"I heard that the rouge shop on East Street has been renovated and newly opened. It has a lot of new products. Cui'e and I went to take a look."

"Oh, that's it!" The county magistrate nodded. As long as he doesn't have to accompany him, it's fine, and he has to meet an old friend later.

……

In order to prevent these ladies and ladies from quarreling again, shopkeeper Shi and the guys sped up their actions. These aunts and ladies are all the God of Wealth, so they cannot be offended!

Finally seeing off the last guest, it was time to rest for a while. Shopkeeper Shi sorted things out and suddenly smiled from ear to ear.

"Ms. Shen, we have a great business today. Guess how much money we sold in just this hour."

Shen Ping raised her eyes and said calmly: "Looking at it like this, I guess I have three hundred taels!"

In fact, Shen Ping deliberately kept it to a minimum. If there was no suspense, she would guess right. This would make her look smart, but this would leave Shopkeeper Shi with no sense of accomplishment and his happiness would be halved.

But if he said this, Shopkeeper Shi would be happier. Since everyone is working together, of course they must have a happy cooperation.

She knew it was definitely more than that. She would get a mirror if she spent 20 taels of silver. Just looking at the mirrors, she knew she would give away a lot.

Sure enough, after listening to Shen Ping's words, Shopkeeper Shi laughed so hard that his mouth almost broke to his ears: "Ms. Shen, just guess as high as possible, and you can guess again."

"It shouldn't be five hundred taels of silver!" Shen Ping pretended to be surprised.

Shopkeeper Shi smiled and shook his head: "Ms. Shen, you are still too modest. Move over and read it yourself!" After saying that, he handed the account book in his hand to Shen Ping. He knew that Shen Ping could read.

Shen Ping nodded and settled the account book. She likes a cheerful person like Shopkeeper Shi, so that she can have a happy cooperation. The ledger clearly states how many pieces of each type of merchandise were sold and the amount.

According to shopkeeper Shi's statistics, the total turnover so far has been as high as 1,700 taels of silver. You can almost get your money back.

This result was somewhat beyond Shen Ping's expectation. Looking at Shen Ping's widened eyes, Shopkeeper Shi's heart was filled with joy.

"Ms. Shen, as of now, I did a rough calculation and found that the net profit has reached more than 600 taels of silver. This is all thanks to you!" Shopkeeper Shi's voice was trembling as he spoke excitedly.
