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

Chapter 547 True love should not die

What is a good child?

The students couldn't help but start thinking.

He didn't pass the imperial examination, he didn't have money to support the family, and he even asked for money. In Lord Shen's mind, is he still a good child?

Shen Zheng looked at their blank faces and said softly, "There are always people better than you. If you spend your whole life comparing and being compared, how tiring it would be? Ask your heart, it's good to have no regrets, do your best, and leave no regrets."

She wasn't just saying this casually.

This is the life creed she has always believed in.

Shen Zheng has never had the experience of "being compared with the children in the neighborhood", but in fact the comparisons from the orphanage and school are often more real and profound, so much so that she matured precociously.

She felt pain and self-denial about this more than once, and had countless days and nights of confusion and stubbornness.

But it was not until the appearance of her junior high school teacher that she finally understood that the losing child also deserved love and kind looks.

——She has no father or mother, so in the eyes of some teachers in school, how can she not be considered a "loser" or inferior?

However, the head teacher still invests more energy in her than in other students.

At that time, Shen Zheng was like a balloon filled with air that could explode at any time.

But such a balloon that could hurt others at any time was carefully held up by the head teacher, who also carefully let some air out of it for her.

She is alive again, she is no longer tense, and she wants to pass on this love.

True love should never die.

The students were stunned by her words, and some even raised their sleeves to cover their faces.

Shen Zheng couldn't bear to see them about to cry, so she finally said, "You have always known the philosophy of the county school. You have never been a bargaining chip for my promotion, nor a stepping stone for the teachers to become famous. You are you, the one and only you. Just be happy studying in the county school."

After finishing speaking, Shen Zheng quickly asked: "Okay... I won't say more. Who can tell me where Lord Liang is?"

The sudden change of topic caught the students off guard. They subconsciously pointed to the area behind the county school and said, "Just now, Lord Liang and Old Qiao went to the printing house together with a strange object."

Weird objects?

Shen Zheng was curious: "Did Mr. Qiao and the others make it?"

The students thought for a moment, and someone nodded and said, "It should be, I have never seen it before."

As he spoke, he made a "pushing a cart" gesture to Shen Zheng and said, "That object is not small. Cheng Yu pushed it over there."

Although these students and craftsmen read and wrote, drew and did handicrafts, they rarely interacted with each other on a daily basis.

But the craftsmen also had to learn to write and read, so they would often come to them after school or on break so that they could also satisfy their desire to be a "teacher".

Occasionally, they would need to modify some items, which would inevitably trouble the craftsmen.

After a few visits, the two sides became more familiar with each other.

Shen Zheng was extremely curious about the new tools made by Mr. Qiao and his team. According to her guess, Mr. Qiao and his team were pushing the tools over at this time, and the function of these tools must be related to tamping the ground!

Half a quarter of an hour later, Shen Zheng arrived at the printing house.

This place is vast and large in scale. After all, when the printing house was first established, it was aimed at students all over the world. If the place is too small, how can it print a series of books for students all over the world to read?

Shen Zheng walked in front, and the students from the county school followed behind, all wanting to follow her to find out what was going on.

"Take two steps! Take two steps!"

As Shen Zheng approached, she saw Old Qiao holding a rotten vegetable leaf and luring a donkey forward.

But donkeys are not as honest and simple as cows, otherwise where did the word "stubborn donkey" come from?

It was obvious that the vegetable leaves in Old Qiao's hand were too rotten. After sniffing, it turned its head away.

"Hey——" Old Qiao was so angry that he hit the donkey's head with a rotten vegetable leaf: "You stupid donkey! You are still picky? It's true that everyone has lived a good life in recent days, and you don't have to gnaw on tree roots, but now you don't even care about vegetable leaves!"

Since the soft approach doesn’t work, Mr. Qiao plans to use a hard approach.

He grabbed the rope on the donkey's neck and pulled it forward, "Go! Take two steps and show me!"

It would have been better if he didn't pull it. As soon as he pulled it, the donkey got angry, its limbs stiffened and it pulled its head back, almost pulling Old Qiao down with it.

Seeing this, Cheng Yu quickly stepped forward to take over the donkey rope and said, "Master, this donkey is too stubborn. Let's change it."

——This donkey is quite stubborn. He refuses to change it.

Shen Zheng laughed in her heart, but the next moment she realized that she was so focused on looking at Old Qiao that she didn't notice that what this stubborn donkey was pulling behind it was not a cart board, but a large hollow "roller".

This roller is shaped like a cylinder. The reason why Shen Zheng calls it a "hollow roller" is because it only has a cylindrical frame.

It has no parallel circular surfaces at the upper and lower ends, only two frames shaped like wheels. There is no side surface connecting the two circular surfaces in the middle, only a horizontal piece of wood embedded in the center points of the two "wheels".

Wooden hammers are tightly embedded on the horizontal beam connecting the two ends, and the hammers will hit the ground as the roller rotates.

This is......

Homemade road hammer?

Shen Zheng was a little curious and wanted to go closer to take a closer look.

Elder Qiao was the first to notice her arrival and waved to her, "Master Shen, come and see what Yu and his friends have just made."

Liang Fu had been standing next to the "roller" thoughtfully. After hearing Mr. Qiao's voice, he finally reacted and looked at Shen Zheng.

He stroked his beard and asked in confusion: "Master Shen, come and take a look at this wheel. I always feel that..."

He always felt something, but he couldn't put it into words.

But I just felt that something was wrong. Maybe with a little improvement, the wheel would work better.

Shen Zheng smiled and walked forward, looking at the roller and asked, "Is this made for tamping concrete?"

Cheng Yu stepped forward slightly and nodded, "This was thought up by the students and fellow apprentices. The Sanhe land needs to be compacted repeatedly. If there are tools to cooperate, it may save a lot of manpower and time."

He led Shen Zheng to the roller and said, "In fact, the students have thought about using a giant stone roller to compact the ground, but Lord Liang said that the rolling surface of the stone roller is large and the force required to roll is large, so it can only be pulled by several animals. It would not be worth it to trample the ground in this way."

Shen Zheng nodded, touched the "roller" and said: "There is one more thing, the direction of the stone mill force is wrong."

"Direction of force?" Everyone looked over.

Liang Fufu was so impressed that he said quickly, "Yes, yes, that's what I meant. I wanted to talk to Cheng Yu and the others about this before, but I couldn't think of the right words. It's just that the direction of the millstone's force is wrong!"

Upon hearing this, Old Qiao gave him a secret look.

Hindsight.

But he was also curious, and asked Shen Zheng doubtfully: "Why is the direction wrong?"
