Chapter 450: The Dandy’s Family Killed All the Civil and Military Officials of the Dynasty (3)
The magistrate thought for a moment.
"It's true. There has been a drought in the north for half a year. This month alone, this county has taken in more than a thousand refugees. It's surprising..."
"That's right, it's strange. This is a sign that we and Anxian will be the same in the near future."
Although in the original plot, the county magistrate's family did not survive until the drought and food shortage, but now that Jin Shu is here, she will definitely not let herself die in such an unknown way.
Since you can live longer, you must plan carefully for the next days.
If the weather goes smoothly, there are no disasters, and Li Yong escapes, the county magistrate and his family will not have any setbacks or hardships.
But what is in front of us now is not only Li Yong who is always ready to counterattack, but also the increasingly urgent food shortage crisis.
"I heard that many farmers in the countryside have begun to secretly stockpile grain. No one could foresee the severe drought earlier than the country people.
As we stay away from farming, we should be more aware of the crisis. "
Jin Shu spoke in an orderly manner, and the county magistrate was shocked when he heard it.
"It makes sense..."
"If we don't collect food, it will be too late."
"But what's the use of our food storage? What will happen to us and the people of An County?"
Although the county magistrate gave birth to three useless children, he himself was still a good official who cared about the people.
After so many years in office, he hasn't stolen any steals like other colleagues.
All the family's food, drink and expenses came from the county magistrate's wife's business income.
At this time, the farsighted Jin on the side spoke.
"Indeed, a group of foreign businessmen have come to the city recently and purchased rice, flour, grain and oil from He'an County in large quantities.
The bids have been high, and many local grain dealers have sold out their warehouses.
After all, the autumn harvest will be in a month, and they feel that the granary will be filled quickly by then.
And taking this opportunity, we can also sell all the grain harvested in previous years at a high price. "
At first, no one would think about natural disasters.
After all, He'an County has always been peaceful and is adjacent to a large lake, so there will be no shortage of water.
But after Jin Shu's reminder, the couple faintly realized that many strange phenomena had indeed occurred in the city recently.
The couple both have a sense of worry, so Jin Shu only needs to remind them a few words. When they react, they don't need to worry too much about the next thing.
After all, Jin has been in business for many years and has many industries in An County. As long as she wants food, she can definitely buy it.
The problem now is not that there is a shortage of food, but that every household is selling food, and some even sell out their entire family capital in anticipation of the autumn harvest.
If this situation is not controlled, if a drought really occurs in He'an County, the 40,000 people in the county will suffer.
Jin Shu herself must be prepared.
Li Yong should not be anxious for now. After all, he can be said to be suffering from internal and external troubles now. It is a critical time for internal fighting in the court and he cannot find time to deal with the county magistrate and his family.
There are many things that can be changed in this month. If it cannot be changed in the end, there is still one simplest way, which is to kill Li Yong directly and replace the prince Dangdang with the people of the world.
The monthly payment given by the Jin family was quite large, so even though the original owner was extravagant, he still managed to save a little bit.
Rice and noodles in the city are not too expensive nowadays. Instead of letting foreign businessmen come to buy them, it is better to buy them yourself.
Jin Shu's eyesight is bad, she often stumbles when walking alone, and her balance is even worse, so she definitely can't do such things as buying food.
Fortunately, there is still a bitch at home that I can use.
Jin Shouan had just come back from fooling around outside and had no money in his hand. The first person he thought of was his good sister.
Jin Shu had an eye injury since she was a child, and her temperament has changed drastically since then. Her parents pampered her even more, so they naturally gave her a lot more pocket money.
So when Jin Shouan walked into the room with a smile while rubbing his hands, Jin Shu knew what he was thinking without him opening his mouth.
"Run out of money again?"
"Hehe... My dear sister, why don't we just say that we are brothers and sisters? When my mother gave birth to you, I knelt in front of the Bodhisattva to pray that you would be born safely. I knelt down for the whole time..."
"Stop talking nonsense."
Jin Shu couldn't see his face clearly, and could only vaguely see his outline.
"You asked me to borrow money?"
"What does the family say about borrowing or not? Brother, money is tight recently. Sister, please help me a little bit..."
"OK."
"real or fake?"
Jin Shu's cheerfulness made Jin Shouan a little unbelievable. In the past, it took her a long time to agree, but now the sun is rising in the west?
"Really, but you have to agree to one condition."
"As long as you don't let me help you find that man's old sweetheart, I agree to everything else."
"That man" Jin Shou'an said was Li Yong.
And Li Yong's old sweetheart was a woman whom the original owner had been grudged against for a long time.
"I have helped you track him several times before, but I lost him every time.
Or he would be the only one left in the teahouse when I arrived.
It’s not that I don’t want to help you, I’ve already tried my best. "
"That's not the case."
Jin Shouan breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's good, just tell me. No matter what happens, Brother Huohai will help you with it."
"Here are five hundred taels of gold. Take it and help me buy rice, flour, salt and oil. After you buy it, put it all in my yard in the eastern suburbs. I will handle the rest myself."
Jin Shouan was silent for a long time. Looking at the dazzling gold in front of him, he suddenly felt that there might be something wrong with his sister's brain.
"Sister, are you awake from the dream? Why did you buy so much grain? Do you want to open a grain store?"
Jin Shu looked at him. Although her eyes could not see clearly, they were quite clear and lively, like the clear blue sky after a heavy rain. Jin Shouan was stunned when he saw it.
"If I ask you to do it, you just do it. Once it's done, this ingot of gold will be yours."
"real?"
Brother idiot, as long as he has money, he will do anything.
This is why Jin Shu entrusted him with such an important matter.
So easy to use.
"Really, you know this and I know it. If anyone asks, just say that my mother plans to open a grain store.
Remember, all this money should be used to buy the things I want. Otherwise, if I find out that you are using my money to spend your days and nights, Jin Shouan, I guarantee that you will be restless for the rest of your life. "
Jin Shouan believed this.
My younger sister has no other abilities, but she is quite good at torturing people.
"Okay, okay, don't worry, I will definitely take care of it for you.
Oh, by the way, I bought you the medicine you asked me to buy you before..."
As he spoke, Jin Shouan took out a bag of things from his arms and secretly stuffed it into Jin Shu's hand.
"That's why you cried and begged me and threatened to kill yourself, so I bought this medicine for you. Otherwise, the elder brother would not be able to watch his sister jump into the fire pit!"
