Transmigrated into a female county magistrate during a famine, leading her country to prosperity

Chapter 752 You don’t respect the elderly!

It’s not that Wei Que couldn’t compete for the position of governor, but that he didn’t dare to compete.

Isn't he a coward?

The sea is vast, he had said before.

But it is precisely because the sea is so vast that people seem even smaller.

He was afraid of the anger of the sea god, afraid of the sacrifice of his companions, and even more afraid... that he would never come back.

Whenever he woke up from his dreams at midnight, the sea might have calmed down long ago, but the sea in his heart was still surging.

Wei Que's fingers holding the telescope gradually turned white, and Shen Zheng was silent for a long time.

"We will get better and better in the future." Shen Zheng forced a smile, "You can have as many telescopes as you want. I will also give you some instruments that can help you identify directions, so that you won't get lost."

Seeing that Wei Que was still in grief, Shen Zheng said, "I will present the manufacturing technology and process of telescopes to Your Majesty. Then each ship will be equipped with 100 or 80 telescopes to observe the situation from all directions."

Such exaggerated words finally brought Wei Que back to his senses, "Aren't you going to hold the telescope in your hand? Then Liuli..."

"The colored glaze firing technology...will also be presented to Your Majesty." Shen Zheng looked at the blast furnace room and said seriously: "Over the past few days, I have been thinking that the colored glaze raw materials are from all over the world, and the furnace needs to be fired every day, so the demand for furnaces and firewood is huge. Our Tongan County alone cannot consume it."

If you can't eat it and still want to hold it all in your hand, then there's no point.

It would be better to offer the technology, and Tongan County can produce some fine items such as glasses and famous craftsman's utensils. As for the rest, it all depends on your majesty's wishes.

Wei Que thought for a moment and said, "You are right. You can't eat too much. There is no need to take it all in. Now the cloth shop and the printing house are enough for you to be busy."

"Yes..." Shen Zheng lifted her chin and murmured, "And the clinic, Doctor Li has looked much younger recently."

"Really?" Liang Fu was a little puzzled. "When the Japanese officer went to see him, he looked haggard?"

Shen Zheng pulled the corner of her mouth: "I'm so tired, I'm not young and haggard."

"You are disrespectful to the elderly!" Liang Fu's eyes were full of defense: "When I am not around, you should also tease me like this, right?"

"How can that be possible!"

......

Li Shiyuan's name gradually spread throughout Liuyang Prefecture. After all, smallpox was so serious that the news could not be suppressed.

Doctor Zhang from Changnan Prefecture has already set out to go back, but several doctors from Liuyang Prefecture have come here to worship Li Shiyuan and want to become his disciples.

But this time, Li Shiyuan really did not accept the disciple, but explained to the other party in detail what "joining a medical clinic" meant.

When these doctors heard that their clinic was going to change its signboard and would no longer be their own, they became worried and said they would go back and think about it and ask their ancestors for their opinions.

How to ask?

Li Shiyuan didn't know, but he could understand these doctors.

If he were still in the Li family, he would also have to go home and ask his ancestors.

But understanding is one thing, and after these doctors have really considered it, the next person to consider is him, Li Shiyuan.

After all, Tongan Medical Clinic is not a pile of rotten vegetable leaves in the vegetable market where anyone passing by can pick up a few. Li Shiyuan now values ​​the reputation of Tongan County more than his life.

He would really fight to the death with anyone who dared to bring shame to Tongan County and Tongan Medical Clinic, so he had to carefully select those medical clinics that wanted to join him.

Moreover, some of them had ulterior motives, and he saw it at the first glance - they were after the antidote for smallpox, that is, the cowpox method.

He knew that cowpox had risks, and they were not small. Shen Zheng knew this fact, and Yu Jiusi knew it too. Xingning prefect Jiang Zhiming even risked his life to do the experiment.

But other people didn't know. They thought Li Shiyuan was hiding something. They also thought Li Shiyuan wanted to use cowpox to make Tongan Medical Clinic bigger and stronger.

So when these people arrived, Li Shiyuan gave them a big cross.

People who have different ideas will definitely have different paths.

......

After the lenses and telescope were made, the pressure on Shen Zheng was suddenly reduced. With Liang Fu guarding the blast furnace room, she could also take the opportunity to go out for a walk and take a good look at the changes in Tongan County during this period of time.

The Sanhe land in the town has been fully consolidated and outsiders who come to Tongan County are full of praise for it.

But the people of Tongan County are tight-lipped, and many outsiders don’t know what the white powder is.

People from other places spread the rumor from mouth to mouth, and finally it became "Tongan County uses glutinous rice to pave the ground."

The ground was so flat and firm that even several horse-drawn carriages could press down on it without leaving any marks. Apart from glutinous rice mixed with loess, outsiders would never guess that it was limestone.

But in fact, Shen Zheng had never suppressed the news about limestone at all, and now Liuyang Prefecture is also digging limestone mines. It is believed that limestone will be available in large quantities soon.

After the Sanhe land in the town was compacted, the next thing to worry about was the village roads.

Not every village has a main road leading into the village. Some villages have narrow roads that are difficult even for horse-drawn carriages to pass through, so the village heads have to clear the way first and then pave the ground.

Building a road involves the issue of farmland. How can we build a road with fields on both sides?

You still have to occupy the land.

Therefore, during this period of time, various meetings of all sizes were held continuously in each village. The village heads talked a lot, worked in the printing shop during the day, and stayed up late at night to plan, and finally the main roads in the village were planned.

But it’s not enough for them to just plan it out.

The planning map must be taken to the county government office, and construction can only officially begin after it is reviewed by Xu Zhubu.

Compared to Shen Zheng, the county magistrate, the village heads were more afraid of Xu Yunyan, the chief clerk. Although this man was always amiable, he could be scary with just a few words!

——Only Lord Shen can control him, the village heads thought.

When Shen Zheng was strolling in the streets and alleys of the county, he felt most comfortable.

Chatting, fireworks, hawking, bickering, and even family gossip are all part of life.

As she walked, she returned to the county school and slowly went to the lecture room.

The gentlemen have started writing on plaster boards. The plaster chalks are plump and come in a variety of colors such as red, orange, yellow, and green. The dyes are all obtained from the fabric shop.

Before using plasterboards for writing, teachers could never have imagined that giving a lecture could be so "fancy".

If I want to emphasize something to the children, I will turn around, raise my hand, and write a few big words. If that is not enough, I will change to red or green chalk and let the children open their eyes wide and look.

For the children, the boring lectures in the past have gradually become colorful.

——The words the teacher wrote on the blackboard would actually form pictures and hide quietly in their minds. When they were needed, they would pop up by themselves!

They would also secretly learn the teacher's pen strokes and strength, and then go back to practice calligraphy in secret.

Oh, by the way, the paper used for practicing calligraphy is all waste paper that printing houses don’t want. Without realizing it, I have saved a lot of money!

The headmaster asked them to return the waste paper to the printing house after use, saying that the paper mill would recycle it in the future.

Recycle paper? What can we do with it after recycling? Students wondered.

Wipe your ass?

Then your butt will be black!
