Chapter 172 Crying with joy
The person brought by the Zhao family opened his mouth in shock and looked at Shen Mingzhu in disbelief.
Just as he was about to escape, a bolt of thunder fell from the sky and struck him directly.
"Ah! Someone was struck by lightning."
"I know this second beggar. Just now he said that Mingzhu Xiangjun couldn't pray for rain."
Shen Mingzhu curled the corners of her lips, looked at the ecstatic crowd, and returned to the Shen family.
Shen Mingzhu entered the space, took a hot bath in it, dried her hair with a hair dryer, lay on the sofa, and ate potato chips happily.
Wang Mang also came in at this time. Wang Mang stood outside the villa and rang the doorbell. Shen Mingzhu opened the door for Wang Mang with the remote control.
As soon as Wang Mang came in, he smiled and praised Shen Mingzhu: "Zhuzhu, you are so smart. How did you come up with this idea?"
"Is this artificial rainfall? You are so amazing! You actually managed to get the equipment for artificial rainfall."
Shen Mingzhu glanced at Wang Mang speechlessly and asked, "Why are you looking for me?"
Wang Mang skillfully picked up the potato chips on the coffee table, ate two slices, and said, "I plan to report to my father tomorrow and say that you and Uncle Shen succeeded in praying for rain and saved the entire Pushuang County."
"this is not bad!"
Shen Mingzhu handed Wang Mang a bottle of Coke. This kid was becoming easier and easier to get along with.
It had been raining outside for three days, and the dry land of the entire Pushuang County was soaked.
The river, which had already run dry, was also seeing its water level rise.
The people of Pushuang County were overjoyed. Many of them ran to the county government office with their household registration documents to borrow corn seeds.
Shen Mingzhu exchanged several thousand kilograms of high-yield corn seeds from the system space and had them lent to farmers in Pushuang County.
The farmers in Pushuang County who did not leave or who returned all cried for joy.
God finally opened his eyes! God finally rained!
Thank you Mingzhu Xiangjun! Mingzhu Xiangjun is like a fairy descending to earth!
With the nourishment of this sweet rain, some of the refugees who came to the county town borrowed food from the government office to get through the period and returned to their hometowns to farm, while others continued to work in the government office, exchanging their work for food.
Seeing that many people wanted to return to their hometown to farm, Shen Mingzhu also couldn't serve porridge at the city gate for a long time, so she took out a lot of food and gave it to Shen Laosan.
These grains can be loaned to residents of Pushuang County free of charge, and those who borrow the grains can return them in three years.
The government office opened its granaries to release grain. Li Xuanfeng, Shen Mingshan and others weighed the grain for the common people and told them that the grain was the private property of Lord Mingzhu.
The Lord of Mingzhu was kind-hearted. He took out the grain from his own fiefdom and lent it to everyone for emergency relief.
The people of Pushuang County were all grateful to Shen Mingzhu. In the space, the system said with surprise:
"Host, this trick of yours is pretty good. Your faith points are increasing."
Shen Mingzhu took a grape and put it into her mouth, then said with a smile, "Of course, doing good deeds without leaving a name is not my style."
"Host, this is a good thing. It not only solved the famine problem and saved more than 10,000 civilians, but also gave you faith and merit points."
"Host, come on, develop Pu Shuang County, work hard to build momentum, and increase the host's reputation. In this way, the system can be upgraded!"
Shen Mingzhu nodded, left the space, and came to Shen Laosan's study to discuss the planning of Pushuang County.
"Let these people live first. We will continue to use the method of exchanging food for work and have them build the city wall first."
The current city walls can't stop the soldiers of the Pyu Kingdom, and anyone with high martial arts skills can climb over them.
"We will expand the area of the county and re-plan the county. We will first repair the city wall, then build houses, and organize people to open up wasteland."
Based on the map of Pushuang County, Shen Laosan and Shen Mingzhu expanded outward by more than 20 kilometers and re-drew the planning map.
The Zhao family, Zhao Youde was furious, why did they pray for rain?
How could this be possible? This had never happened before. That little girl Shen Mingzhu could get whatever she wanted.
This is not something that ordinary people can do. No, that's not right. This is not something that ordinary people can do.
Zhao Youde thought of the lazy guy he sent to incite people in the square.
It was really strange. The thunder from the sky could have struck anyone else, but it directly killed Erlaizi.
Is it because of Er Laizi that he incited people and caused trouble for Shen Ruhai and others?
Zhao Youde was terrified and quickly ordered someone to rush to the provincial capital to deliver the letter.
Time has passed quickly since the last rain, the weather has cooled down and the dry weather has eased.
The severe drought has passed, and many people who fled Pushuang County have returned when they heard that the county now has such good people-friendly policies.
Pu Shuang County gradually got on track and the government office began to recruit people.
On this day, many students came to the gate of the yamen to take the exam.
Today's assessment is for the positions of clerks, inspectors and clerks.
All the scholars in Pushuang County came. Li Xuanfeng stood at the gate of the county government office. He read out the names one by one according to the list in his hand.
Those whose names are called will sit in the corresponding seats according to their student numbers.
Shen Ruhai and a group of officials from the county government stood on a high platform to supervise the examination.
"Sun Jiahua, Sun Dingkun, Sun Jiahao, Sun Yongwei..."
When everyone heard so many names with the surname Sun, they were surprised.
Zhao Youde, in particular, stared angrily at Sun Yongwei who had just walked to the table.
"What does this old man Sun Yongwei want to do here?"
"He's so old, does he still want to take the exam for the civil servant exam? Has Sun Yongwei betrayed the four great families and joined Shen Ruhai instead?"
Zhao Youde blurted out, Xu Tongchuan quickly covered Zhao Youde's mouth, glanced at Shen Ruhai, and whispered in Zhao Youde's ear:
"Keep your voice down. Even the Sun family has joined Shen Ruhai now. Judging from Li Guohai's appearance, he seems to be ready to join Shen Ruhai as well."
"How can we fight against Shen Ruhai with only our two families?"
Xu Tongchuan has realized these days that Shen Ruhai and his daughter are people with great fortune.
His eldest son has been deposed and his wife has been thrown into prison. He is thankful to be able to sit in the position of chief clerk now.
You can’t afford to offend Shen Ruhai and his daughter, you really can’t afford to offend them!
Xu Tongchuan felt a little regretful that he did not establish a good relationship with the county magistrate when Shen Ruhai first came.
It is useless to curry favor with the magistrate now.
The students in the square picked up the test papers and opened their mouths in shock.
Is this really an official exam?
Shen Mingzhu stood on the balcony of her second-floor attic and couldn't help laughing at the students taking exams.
Well, this position is really good. It is close to the county government office, and she can stand high and see far.
