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

Chapter 783: Let’s go to Beijing——

March 30th, departure day.

Shen Zheng originally thought that Mo Jinyin would not dare to show up, but unexpectedly, as soon as they arrived at the dock, Mo Jinyin came over with a large group of people.

She took a closer look——

Okay, bribe in the street.

Even Yu Shizhang laughed and signaled Yu Jiusi to take people to clear the area.

Mo Jinyin came and left quickly, and before he could even touch the corners of people's clothes, he was driven away by Yu Jiusi and others.

The helmsman of this ship, commonly known as the "captain", was a man in his early thirties named Yang Shao.

Three generations of Yang Shao's family have been driving boats for the fifth family. In his words, this is a "family inheritance." He is also happy to drive a boat and likes to drive a boat. Even his wife was met on a boat.

His wife's name was Lianqiao, which is the same name as the medicinal herb "Lianqiao". Everyone called her Qiaogu, and later, word of mouth spread and it became "Qiaogu".

Qiao Gu also works on the ship, mainly managing the ship's hygiene and public kitchen, and is responsible for most daily matters.

The couple also had a child named Xiaomaowa. It was said that because the child had long hair when he was just born, and it was quite thick, they simply gave him the nickname "Xiaomaowa". The child's full name was also simple, called Yangmao.

But this time, Yang Mao and the other children did not come along.

This was Shen Zheng's idea, and he also sought the opinions of Yang Shao and others.

The children are still young. Although sailing around can help them see the world, it is not good for them to "see the world all the time."

To put it simply, the child needs to calm down and stay in Tongan County to attend an enlightenment class and learn a few words before thinking about the future.

Because of this, Yang Shao and others respected Shen Zheng very much. After all, Shen Zheng "held the hostages".

......

When the group reached the platform, they didn't even have to look for a boat because Mo Jinyin gave them a "formalism".

Yu Jiusi stood at the end of the crowd, carrying a sword on his back, and raised his eyebrows and said, "This Mo guy has a lot of tricks."

He had just cleared Mo Jinyin's place, but who would have thought that the other party had already cleared the place on the platform.

There was only one ship docked at the entire east berth platform, and that was their ship with a big red flower hanging on it.

The rest of the cargo ships and building ships were driven away at some point and ended up crowded together on another small platform. They looked so pitiful.

Their ship, like a local tyrant, shamelessly occupied the entire platform.

Shen Zheng closed his eyes and gritted his teeth, leading the group to the front of the ship.

She thought about it over and over again, but she really couldn't understand.

Does Mo Jinyin's cerebellum develop incompletely, or not at all?

Did the other party clear the platform to please them or to make them the target of public criticism?

Obviously, the former guess is more likely.

But obviously, the result of this approach is the latter guess.

She paused for a moment, raised her hand and called Yang Shao, "Go and tell Mo Jinyin to apologize to all the ships. Come back after you've said that, and we'll set off directly."

Yang Shao trotted away, and before he knew it, a string of heads appeared on the inside of the platform.

"Lord Shen——" someone called.

Shen Zheng turned around and saw a familiar face. Combining the voice with the name, she recognized it and asked, "Manager An?"

Manager An nodded quickly.

A large group of them crowded in front of the platform railing, blinking their eyes and saying to Shen Zheng: "Have a safe journey——"

Shen Zheng smiled and nodded, "Thank you, you guys go and get busy, aren't there so many cargo ships over there?"

Manager An and the others were silent for a moment. "Master Shen, we are not going to work at the Mo family dock anymore. Mo Jinyin is a dishonest person, and we are afraid... if we work with him, we may lose our heads one day."

"You have a brilliant idea." Yu Jiusi walked over with his arms folded. "It's hard to say what will happen to this dock in the future. You'd better find another job."

When Manager An and the others saw that he was wearing armor, they shrank their heads in fear and said, "General, you are right."

Shen Zheng looked at their dark faces and estimated the current situation of Tongan Wharf.

After a while, she said, "Manager An, Tongan Wharf is short of staff right now, but... Tongan County is still a bit far from the city. You should think about it first. If you have thought it through, you can go to Tongan Wharf to look for Qing Wan."

She had just given it a rough thought.

The scale of Tongan Wharf is much larger than that of Mojia Wharf. It won’t be long before Tongan Wharf will become the number one wharf in Liuyang Prefecture.

When the number of cargo ships surges, the port's staffing may not be able to keep up.

Today, Tongan County still focuses on agriculture and light industry. Many people have to take care of their fields at home and go to work in the town, so they cannot work at the docks.

Therefore, absorbing some fresh blood, who are also veterans at the docks, will be beneficial to Tongan County.

But there is one thing.

"Manager An, there are some things I have to say up front. Tongan Wharf is not like the Mo Family Wharf. If any of you are willing to work at Tongan Wharf, go find Qing Wan and talk it over. Only if you meet the standards will the wharf hire you."

Nowadays, Mojia Wharf accepts everyone, but does not treat the workers as human beings. However, the welfare at Tongan Wharf is extremely good.

Therefore, there are certain requirements for recruiting workers at Tongan Wharf.

Manager An nodded repeatedly.

"Master Shen, we understand the truth. We will not tell Miss that you asked us to go, lest Miss... in other words, give us a backdoor."

Shen Zheng smiled and nodded, "You should think about it first. It's a two-way choice."

More and more people came to the back of the platform. The people didn't know where the news came from, but they all rushed to the dock to "watch the fun."

Seeing this, Shen Zheng quickly turned around and boarded the ship with everyone else.

Perhaps it was because the last boat ride was too dark, causing her stomach to cramp and her mouth to water as soon as she got on the boat this time.

Li Shiyuan brought Feng Qianzhi over and handed her a small porcelain bottle.

"Sir Shen, this is the anti-dizziness pill that I developed these past two days. Take one first and see the effect. If it doesn't work, I'll increase the dosage."

Increase the dosage...

Shen Zheng felt like he was taking medicine.

She hesitated for a moment, took the porcelain bottle, then took the kettle handed to her by Feng Qianzhi, and took a pill under the nervous gaze of the two.

A quarter of an hour later, everything on the ship was ready. The crew unlocked the locks one by one, and the ship began to slide slowly backwards.

Yu Shizhang placed a tea table and a few small stools on the deck, and called Shen Zheng: "Come and have tea and chat!"

Shen Zheng suppressed her discomfort and walked over.

She knew that Yu Shizhang did this to divert her attention.

Pei Zhaoqi and Liang Fu were playing chess at the table next to them, while Shen Xingjian and Li Shiyuan were watching.

Shen Xingjian watched the game very quietly. He sat beside them without saying a word, only his eyes following the fingers of both players. Li Shiyuan, however, was an impatient man, and often made "tsk" sounds from his mouth, which made Liang Fu frown and look extremely disgusted with him.

Yu Nanshu and Feng Qianzhi were chasing and playing on the deck, while Fang Ziyan and Cheng Yu were leaning on the railing to enjoy the river breeze.

The boat was going faster and faster. Fang Ziyan cheered and shouted towards the river: "Shangjing! Here we come——!"
