Liao Qing and the others also considered it in advance.

He directly dispelled his concerns and promised him that if he was affected by any obstacles after doing business in Zixian, he would go to Hancheng to find him, and Hancheng would have a place.

Boss Xue then agreed to sell grain for Liao Qing and the others at a high price.

But the quantity definitely does not meet the requirements of Liao Qing and others. The grain storage in a small county town is also limited, so it is definitely not as good as the government's grain storage.

Then, Xu Jiaojiao asked Boss Xue if he wanted Qingxi Xujiu. This wine is basically a hot-selling wine in Daxiang Country. Many counterfeits sold expensively. Boss Xue's eyes lit up and asked for the price. He agreed immediately.

Then, then

If he sells this batch of wine, he can make another profit, which is equivalent to making money from both ends, which is more than just giving money to the money, and he doesn't have to worry about not being able to sell the wine.

The agreement was soon settled, and Xu Jiaojiao exchanged two thousand kilograms of Qingxi Xu wine for grain.

Boss Xue’s grain shop has limited food. For the sake of Qingxi Xujiu, he promised to go to other grain shops the next day to help collect grain.

In order to show sincerity, Liao Qing and the others paid 3,000 taels of silver to Boss Xue and asked him to help him run around.

After the negotiations, it was already midnight.

Liao Qing and Xu Jiaojiao stayed in the Xue family's grain shop. The next day, they planned to visit the rich family in Zi County.

In addition to businessmen, wealthy households are also places where there is a lot of food reserves.

The next day, early in the morning.

Boss Xue has a heavy responsibility, so he didn't say a few more words to Liao Qing and Xu Jiaojiao and the others, so he went to work hard for food.

Liao Qing and Xu Jiaojiao went to visit the rich family.

Before coming, an old official did their homework for Zixian, and listed the grain business in Zixian and the list of wealthy households in Zixian.

The grain store was handed over to Boss Xue, and the wealthy family members Liao Qing and others went to visit him in person.

There are several round and tall buildings behind the yamen near Zixian. Here are several large granaries for Zixian's yamen specializing in storing grain.

The whole body is made of bricks and stones. Apart from the large iron door, there are only a few small windows above for ventilation. Looking at the frame, it looks like iron castings.

Overall, it looks very solid.

Liao Qing coughed lightly, leaned over and whispered to Xu Jiaojiao's ear, "Wife, this should be the granary in Zixian County. Can you check if there is any food inside and how much food is there?"

Xu Jiaojiao slowed down and pinched a few stones in her hand. While the guards were not paying attention, she quickly threw the stones into the small window.

Listen with your ears.

The stone fell down and made a few light sounds quickly. Xu Jiaojiao got the result, "The contact was very fast, it should be full."

She did the same thing and tried the remaining granaries, and anger appeared on her face.

"It's full, almost all of them are full! Wang Kaihuai said that there was not much surplus grain. After waiting for two months, he would receive new grain. It's too much to borrow so much grain from the full warehouse.

. ""

I wish I could go in and grab some.

But this certainly doesn't work.

This is someone else's territory. How much can she and Liao Qing grab? At most, how many packs can each be carried on each other and they have to be a fugitive, which is not worth it.

Alas, this county magistrate is really hard to talk to.

Liao Qing was also angry, "He doesn't have any money to borrow. When we go back, we will definitely react to the court. It's so annoying to refer to his book."

At present, I just hope to take advantage of the money and get more food from the people of Zixian County.

Xu Jiaojiao smiled bitterly, "What's the use of studying his book afterwards? Now we can't solve the problem of urgently needing food... Wait!! Liao Qing, have you heard any sound?"

Speaking of the latter, Xu Jiaojiao looked serious.

Liao Qing's hearing is not as good as hers, but she is also very strong. Especially after Xu Jiaojiao reminded him, he pricked up his ears and listened.

His face also darkened, "It seems like there is something extremely large moving..."

"Yes! It's definitely not a good thing."

What Xu Jiaojiao heard was a group of terrifying and delicate voices, as if coming from the direction outside the city.

And the speed was extremely fast, and the sound of the two of them getting closer and closer as they spoke!

Soon, I heard someone shouting loudly on the side of the Zixian wall, "Oh my God! The earth drill is coming! The rat group is coming again!"

"Dangdangdang..." A dense gong sounded.

"Let's close the granary, raise the brazier, tinder, and burrow the gopher group!"

"It's amazing, there are too many gophers this time, it's a bad thing! The rat poison and the mouse clips are all stuck..."

Nympho

The people of Zi County were frightened and panicked.

Originally, all kinds of business people on the street were separated and went home to guard the food.

Looking at the granaries behind the yamen, the windows were still open before, but now there was a yamen guarding the grain running in and closed the windows one by one.

Liao Qing and Xu Jiaojiao looked at each other, and it turned out to be that.

No wonder these granaries are not inferior to those of the government offices and are very compact. Is it because of rats?

There is food in Zi County, so there will be occasional troubles in rats.

Before Liao Qing and the others came, they had heard of it.

But I didn't take it to heart, and I didn't expect that I would meet it so by chance.

The gopher is a unique mouse in the north. It is commonly known as the earth drill. It is grayish white and does not fear the cold. It is most rampant. Last time Xu Jiaojiao went to help the people collect snow sweet potatoes, she encountered it once. That time

Xu Jiaojiao called Xiao Hei out and scared them away.

The people were in a panic, and Liao Qing and Xu Jiaojiao did not stop. They quickly climbed to the city wall of Zixian.

Zixian is not a small border town, and the city walls are not high, only four or five meters away, so it is easy to go up.

After going up, the two of them were stunned by the scene in front of them!!

Xu Jiaojiao murmured, "So many gophers!! My God! More than a hundred times more than last time in Hancheng!!"

Outside the city wall, there were mountains and fields, and rats were ripped in the ground like a gray ocean, densely surrounding the entire Zi County.

The shattered sounds, like waves, reaching people's ears, making people's scalp numb.

Liao Qing was also shocked, "We came to Zixian to borrow food, but we haven't borrowed it yet. This goblind rat came first to snatch it from us, go and help. It would be great if Xiao Hei was there."

Unfortunately, it's not here.

In this case, there is no time to sigh.

No matter what? Even if the magistrate of Zixian County does not lend them food, they cannot sit idly by and let the people suffer disaster.

The speed of drilling the gopher was extremely fast. After they were shocked for a moment, they had already reached the city wall.

It poured into Zixian like a tide.

Perhaps the animals are naturally sensitive, and they dare not pass by Liao Qing and Xu Jiaojiao, so they go around in a big circle and avoid the two of them.

But he ran away freely in front of the guards of the city on other city walls.

The defending officers and soldiers waved at the rat group with torches and other hand, and even used swords and weapons to hit them. Only a small part of them were injured and most of them escaped.
