Chapter 170 Reward: 1 gold?
There is strength in numbers. It only took one month to repair Shen Mingzhu's house.
The newly built yamen in Pushuang County is majestic and solemn, with a big drum placed on the left side of the yamen gate.
There were two stone lions placed at the gate of the yamen, and on a plaque at the gate hung five large characters "Pushuang County Yamen" written by Shen Ruhai.
Entering the yamen, there is a wide courtyard with offices of various officials on both sides of the courtyard, and facing the courtyard is the main hall of the yamen.
Four large characters “明镜高远” are hung high in the center of the lobby.
Below the plaque is a table and a chair, which is where the magistrate usually holds court.
Diagonally below the magistrate's desk, there were two desks, which were where clerks and the chief bookkeeper took notes.
Twenty Shawei sticks were placed on both sides of the lobby, giving the entire yamen a majestic and domineering appearance.
There are three side rooms on both sides of the lobby, which are where officials such as the county magistrate, the chief clerk, and the county lieutenant work.
The backyard of the county government office is divided into an office area on one side and a residential area on the other.
Since a county government office was being built here, the imperial court had clear regulations that the scale could not exceed the limit.
Therefore, the backyard of the county government office was a bit crowded for Shen Mingzhu's family.
So Shen Mingzhu bought a lot of building materials from the space and asked people to work overtime to build their new home in Pu'er County.
Soon more than a month had passed, and there were no more wandering beggars on the streets of Pu'er County.
People walking on the street were in a hurry, some were working, some were doing things, and their faces looked much better than before.
No more pale face, thin body and dry lips.
People said that Mingzhu Xiangjun was the lucky star of Pushuang County. Since Mingzhu Xiangjun came, all the wells in the county had water.
Not only did the wells in the county town begin to flow with water, but even the dry Canlan River showed signs of water flowing out.
Just as Shen Mingzhu was about to move, she heard a servant report that someone was looking for her in the front yard.
She had already guessed who it was, and with a curled lip corner, she walked happily towards the front yard.
Wang Mang was waiting anxiously. Along the way, he heard the words of the refugees and felt very disappointed.
The conditions here are so harsh, how can Zhuzhu survive in this place!
He has to come quickly to take care of Zhuzhu.
When Wang Mang saw Shen Mingzhu coming, his eyes lit up and he ran forward quickly, "Zhuzhu, we are here."
Shen Mingzhu looked at the dusty Wang Mang and felt a little moved.
This guy is only about 11 or 12 years old, right? He rushed here at full speed.
Shen Mingzhu smiled and said, "You came at the right time. Our new home has just been built and I'm just about to move in!"
"Have you prepared a yard for me?"
"Of course there is! We have prepared a separate yard for you."
Shen Mingzhu looked at Wang Mang lovingly and asked, "Where are my cousins?"
Wang Mang was jealous and said, "I just arrived and haven't even had a sip of water yet, and you're asking others."
Shen Mingzhu chuckled, poured a cup of tea for Wang Mang, and handed it to him: "Okay, you've worked hard, have a cup of tea first."
Shen Mingzhu thought that Wang Mang was an interesting kid and was willing to pamper him a little.
Wang Mang felt as sweet as if he had eaten candied fruit.
He happily took the teacup, took a sip of tea, and asked Shen Mingzhu: "When are we moving?"
"Now!"
"Then let's go together."
Shen Mingzhu brought Wang Mang to the newly built courtyard.
The newly built Shen’s residence is very close to the county government office, right opposite the backyard of the county government office.
Speaking of which, we have to say that Shen Mingzhu is very lucky.
Look, in years of famine, most people want to sell their houses and escape the famine.
Many houses were sold to real estate agents at low prices, and the real estate agents then sold them to Shen Mingzhu.
This gave Shen Mingzhu a huge bargain.
Wang Mang walked into the house and took a look. He smiled and said, "Yes, it is very carefully built."
Although it is not as luxurious as where he lives, it is really great to be able to build such a nice house in a place where people can't even get enough food.
Now the Shen family’s house is the most luxurious house in the entire Pushuang County. After the new house was built, even Zhao Youde regretted it.
If he had known that these houses could be renovated in this way, he would have bought these old houses at a low price and rebuilt them.
The geographical location is really good. It is right in the backyard of the government office, close to the government office and very intimate. The most important thing is that there is a river behind the house.
Although there is no water in the river now, what if there is water when it rains?
The scenery is different and more valuable.
The first courtyard of the Shen residence is where Shen Lao San entertains guests, and the guests' guest rooms are located in the first courtyard.
The second courtyard is where Shen Laosan, Su, Shen Mingyu, and their maids and servants live.
The third courtyard was where Shen Mingzhu and her maid lived, and the courtyard next to Shen Mingzhu was where Wang Mang lived.
As a prince, Wang Mang must be allocated a separate courtyard.
Wang Mang was very happy about this, as his courtyard was only separated from Zhuzhu's courtyard by a wall.
As long as Zhuzhu opened the gate, he could go to the yard next door and play with Zhuzhu.
The Shen family did not understand Wang Mang's thoughts. They just thought that Wang Mang was a little prince and Shen Mingzhu's senior brother, so they should take good care of him.
What they didn't know was that Wang Mang was thinking, "The one who is close to the water gets the moon first, so he has to take care of his young wife by himself."
The Shen family moved very quickly and Shen Mingzhu moved into her new home that same day.
When Shen Laosan was on duty during the day, he would do his work in the yamen. After his shift, he would go home to work.
Now, the disaster situation in Pushuang County has improved a lot thanks to Shen Mingzhu's intervention.
Many Pu Shuang people who fled to other counties heard that a new county magistrate and Mingzhu Xiangjun had come to their hometown. They not only provided free food to the people, but also allowed everyone to exchange work for food.
Many people who did not want to stay outside returned to Pushuang County.
After all, many people's houses and land are in Pushuang County. They don't want to go to other counties and become refugees without houses or land.
More and more people returned to Pushuang County, and Shen Mingzhu and others began to make other arrangements.
Shen Mingzhu looked at the brightly shining sky and felt the hot air. She asked the system:
"Dog, can you exchange artificial rainfall for me?"
"Host, I have artificial rainfall equipment here, but it does not belong to this era. If the host exchanges it, will it be disadvantageous to the host?"
"Can we exchange it for rain that can grow crops?"
"Yes, but the exchange amount is 10,000 points of merit, 10,000 points of faith, and 10,000 points of luck."
Shen Mingzhu was stunned and couldn't help cursing: "Fuck, Gouzi, how can you be such a dog?"
"The merit points, faith points, and luck points I just exchanged for so much food were taken back by you in an instant."
"You calculated this on purpose, didn't you? Can't it be a little less?"
System: "Sure! Then return the 10,000 taels of gold that the Lord God System rewarded you."
Shen Mingzhu really wanted to curse, but finally she thought that she had exchanged for a heavy rain, which helped the people survive the drought, and she had also received a reward of 12,000 taels of gold, which seemed not bad.
She rolled her eyes: "Dog, you are such a dog!"
