Natural disaster at the beginning: I will lead the system to build a safe zone

Upon receiving the news that County Magistrate Wu was coming back, Shi Wanqing suddenly became excited again.

Because Magistrate Wu was away recently, she had been forced to keep quiet. However, whenever she thought about the fact that her concubine's sister, whom she used to look down upon, might be living a particularly comfortable life in Guangming County, she couldn't help but feel jealous. She wished she could go to Guangming County that very day and drag her down with her so that she could take over the position herself.

But she had neither men nor money under her command, so she couldn't act even if she wanted to. In addition, Shi Zhengde kept urging her from time to time, so she waited day and night for Magistrate Wu to come back.

She first served County Magistrate Wu with meals and washing, allowing him to enjoy the warmth of home, which made County Magistrate Wu's heart, which had been frightened in Jiangnan, feel much more at ease. Then she began to talk about her purpose.

Magistrate Wu leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes to rest. Shi Wanqing gently kneaded Magistrate Wu's shoulders and said softly, "Master, do you know what the current situation in Qinghe County is?"

Magistrate Wu did not open his eyes and replied lazily: "Why did you suddenly mention Qinghe County? Is there anyone still alive in that county?"

Hearing County Magistrate Wu's reply, Shi Wanqing struck while the iron was hot and said, "Not only is there someone alive, but he has also taken office as the county magistrate himself, and now Qinghe County has been renamed Guangming County!"

County Magistrate Wu opened his eyes suddenly and asked in surprise: "Guangming County? Is that Guangming County the former Qinghe County?"

It's no wonder that he didn't know. Ever since he left Qinghe County, perhaps because of fear, or because he felt embarrassed when he recalled the scene of being forced to flee by the people, he hadn't paid attention to the situation in Qinghe County for such a long time.

Of course he had heard of Guangming County, a place known among the refugees as a place blessed by God. It was said that people there had no worries about food and clothing, and everyone even lived in brick and tile houses and had access to education. Although County Magistrate Wu scoffed at these rumors, thinking they were all just rumors, if there really was such a place, how could they still live so miserably?

But whether he thought this was a rumor or not, it did not detract from the fact that Guangming County had become more and more famous recently. It was said so seriously that even he became a little curious.

And now he is told that the legendary Guangming County is the Qinghe County he abandoned?

Isn't this hilarious? How could he not know the situation in Qinghe County?

Shi Wanqing had no idea what Magistrate Wu was thinking. She just told Magistrate Wu all the stories she had heard about Guangming County, and then added, "Master, Guangming County was originally Qinghe County, and the legitimate magistrate of Qinghe County is you, Master. Why don't you drive that fake away and become the magistrate yourself?"

Hearing this, County Magistrate Wu probably knew what Shi Wanqing was trying to say. He just asked in a calm voice, "Why, is it embarrassing for you to be the wife of the chief clerk?"

Shi Wanqing was shocked. She just wanted Magistrate Wu to be promoted to a higher position, so she dared not say anything that would embarrass her. She hurriedly said, "Master, what are you talking about? How could I feel ashamed? I just feel sorry for you. You were the head of a county before. You didn't need to do things like going out in person."

"But now look at you. You went on such a long business trip and took so long to come back. You've lost so much weight. I suggested this because I felt sorry for you. How dare you say this to me... wuwuwu."

As Shi Wanqing spoke, she pretended to be sad and wiped away her tears. Magistrate Wu was so upset by her complaints that he wondered if he was thinking too much.

When he thought about how this woman had been with him for so long and was still so young, he felt a little pity for her. He grabbed her hand and comforted her, "Okay, don't cry. I didn't mean that."

"But if this Guangming County is Qinghe County, I still have to verify those rumors first. If it is a hot potato, it will be more uncomfortable than being the chief clerk now. But if it is really as the rumors say, then this Guangming County should be mine."

County Magistrate Wu spoke in a high-sounding manner. A flash of contempt flashed across Shi Wanqing's eyes, but her face was full of coquettishness, and she leaned seductively into County Magistrate Wu's arms.

Shi Anan had no idea what was happening in Cangwu City, nor did Magistrate Wu's covetousness for Guangming County.

She will be busy setting up the orchard today.

That’s right, it’s the orchard where I’ve always wanted to place it but never succeeded for various reasons.

And why I chose to place it today? It’s because it finally rained today!

Perhaps it was because it was spring after the Chinese New Year, the land, which had been dry for almost a year, finally welcomed the first spring rain of the new year.

Although it is not known whether it rained everywhere, it is a good sign for Guangming County. Although there is not too much water shortage here, they are not in a situation where they have no water to drink.

But rainfall is related to the growth of crops, and it cannot be solved simply by manual watering.

And by placing the orchard after the rainfall, she no longer has to worry about whether her fruit trees will die due to lack of water one day.

Because the area where the orchard was placed had been cleared before, and someone was hired to clean the area from time to time, An An could place it directly this time.

She notified the village chief, then selected the previously determined location on the system map and placed the orchard there.

In an instant, lush fruit trees appeared before her eyes.

Ignoring the village chief who was shouting like crazy about the wonders, Shi Anan turned to look at Xiao Yi: "Come on, I'll take you to eat some fruit!"

Xiao Yi naturally smiled and answered by holding hands.

Shi Anan took Xiao Yi's hand, and the two of them first walked around the entire orchard to learn about the distribution of the fruit trees.

The orchard provided by the system this time has fruit trees such as pear trees, apple trees, persimmon trees, peach trees, grapefruit trees, orange trees, coconut trees, etc. There are also bananas, strawberries, pineapples and other fruits that are not common in this dynasty. Although it is not known how tropical fruits such as coconuts, bananas, and pineapples can survive with other trees, Shi Anan can only attribute it to the reason arranged by the system.

In any case, she is the one who benefited, so let's not worry about how they survived together.

Also because the orchard was just placed from the system backpack, some fruit trees have unscientifically produced fruits that should not exist in this season. But who cares? Finally, there are unlimited fruits to eat!

Shi Anan seemed like a little mouse that had fallen into a rice warehouse. She excitedly took Xiao Yi everywhere to pick fruits. Soon her fruit basket was filled with all kinds of fruits.

If it is said to be a system product, it must be a high-quality product.

These fruits are big and plump and look delicious.

As for what to do with the orchard in the future, Shi Anan also had some ideas in her mind. The orchard was very large, and she certainly couldn't eat all the fruits by herself. If she picked the fruits and sold them, they might not last long because of the lack of preservation technology here. So she thought of the picking activities that were essential in the ecological park.

She lets the people come in and pick the fruits themselves, and then charges according to the amount of fruit they pick. This saves her labor costs and does not waste the fruits. It's a great idea.

As expected, after the orchard opened, this area became a new check-in spot for the people of Guangming County, and they got to know many fruits they had never seen before!
