A Person in Ancient Times Can Connect to the Modern World with a Golden Bowl

The delicate college student Song Zhen transmigrates into another world and becomes a county magistrate. The original owner was a corrupt official who made up all sorts of taxes and extorted the people. How will Song Zhen save herself?

The thing is, the county under her jurisdiction can’t even be called poor enough. It has nothing to do with wealth whatsoever. In fact, it’s practically starving to death. The people have too little to eat and too little to wear, every trade is in decline, and the entire county is so poor you couldn’t scrape together a single mouse.

Song Zhen: “No problem. This county magistrate has an ancestral golden bowl that connects to the modern world!”

At planting time, the people cry, “We’re broke! Where can we get seeds to plant?”

Song Zhen raises the golden bowl and calls through it, “Sis! Toss down a few tons of seeds!”

In the bitter cold of winter, the people shiver and say, “M-Magistrate! We don’t want to shiver and ruin the county’s image, but we’re freezing!”

Song Zhen: “Sure thing!”

She picks up the golden bowl again. “Sis! Toss down a few tons of padded coats and quilts!”

When spring arrives, Song Zhen sighs toward the sky. “I could really go for afternoon tea!”

Her secretary nods obsequiously. “My lord, I recently got some fine tea leaves. I’ll bring you some to brew this afternoon.”

Song Zhen sighs. Not all tea you drink in the afternoon is afternoon tea.

That night, Song Zhen hugs the golden bowl and calls to her sister again. “I could really go for afternoon tea! Toss down a few tons of crayfish, extra spicy!”

Song Yi hears yet another outrageous request. “...”

“A few more tons? Do you think I’m Doraemon, able to reach in and pull out a truckload of whatever you want?”

Where will the money come from? And how can all those truckloads of supplies be delivered without anyone noticing?

One day, Song Yi discovers that a peony on her balcony, which had long since withered, is blooming again. She also finds a lingzhi mushroom and ginseng growing in an empty pot.
