Chapter 83(2/2)
It is the chief bookkeeper of the county seat.
After hearing what he said, Master Xu chuckled lightly.
"Mr. Chen is extremely righteous."
It rained heavily for three consecutive days.
Their county seat has a relatively high geographical location.
Therefore, it was not affected by the flood.
However, the two counties next door.
It's still raining intermittently now.
Moreover, those near the seaside even caused the intrusion of seawater.
There is even a lot of water in the city.
People's homes and fields were washed away by the heavy rain.
The imperial court could only open warehouses to store grain.
However, the affected area this time was too wide.
Food supplies from the two neighboring counties are needed for comprehensive disaster relief.
I don't think I can last a few days.
Even if the rain stops.
When the water recedes, we can rebuild the disaster area.
It also requires a lot of food.
It's also raining in the state capital.
The road to transport grain is also impassable.
Therefore, the county magistrate also received the news about borrowing grain from the neighboring county.
But there are also many disaster victims outside their city.
If all the government's grain is lent out.
I am also afraid that there will be emergencies in my county.
so.
The county magistrate assigned him a task.
Let him tentatively ask some wealthy families in the city.
See if they are willing to sell the grain in their hands to the government at a low price.
Then the collected food and wages were sent to the government next door.
Then ask for the money back from the government office next door and give it to them.
However, this has repeatedly hit a wall.
After all, businessmen pursue profit.
How could they agree to something that looked like a bad check?
Just ten stones that Yuan Chen was willing to give for free.
All are considered generous.
When Chen Yuanwai saw Chief Xu finish speaking, he drank tea in silence.
He didn't make a sound either.
He also drank silently.
Master Xu finished the tea in his cup and said, "In that case."
"Then I won't bother you."
Chen Yuanwai said with a smile: "I will have the food delivered to the government."
"Even if it's just a little thought from our Chen family."
Chief Xu smiled.
Get up.
Said: "The county magistrate asked me to go to the city gate and have a look."
"I won't stay any longer."
Mr. Chen also stood up and saw him out.
When the two of them reached the stairs.
I saw the shopkeeper who had come to see Mr. Chen just now, sending a young man out.
The shopkeeper had a smile on his face and patted the young man on the shoulder.
"If you need any help then, just come to the restaurant and find me."
Zhao Ce nodded and said, "I won't be polite."
After Zhao Wensheng heard this, he couldn't help laughing.
"Brother Vincent, I'm leaving first."
Zhao Wensheng said: "Go and do your business."
Zhao Ce was carrying his things and looked back slightly.
I saw a middle-aged man in silk with a curious look in his eyes.
He didn't think much about it.
