A strong farm girl is busy getting rich

Shen Qingqian said: "My Lord, the reason why I was able to discover Black Stone Mountain and buy it is because I have a friend who lives on Black Stone Mountain and makes a living by hunting with her grandfather.

But when I went to Black Rock Mountain a few days ago, my friend's grandfather was arrested by the government as a bandit. I hope you will show some mercy and release the old man."

The bandit suppression mission was personally supervised by the county magistrate, so he naturally knew the whole story.

After hearing Shen Qingqian's words, the county magistrate's attitude turned colder. He narrowed his eyes at Shen Qingqian and asked, "Are you talking about Old Man Sun?"

Shen Qingqian was not frightened by the county magistrate's attitude. She said calmly, "That's right! I can guarantee that Old Man Sun is just an ordinary hunter and has absolutely nothing to do with bandits. Please be careful!"

The county magistrate snorted coldly and said, "Even if he is not a bandit, he eats and drinks with the bandits. He is just birds of a feather! How can we let him go so easily?"

Shen Qingqian knew that this county magistrate was stubborn and would not give any face at all.

I can't help but feel sorry for Yingzi and his grandson. Why are they so unlucky?

However, since she had promised to rescue the person, she had to do it no matter what.

She said, "Sir, I am willing to exchange five thousand kilograms of grain for Old Man Sun."

When the county magistrate heard the word "food", his expression relaxed a little.

You should know that there are a total of twelve villages in Tai'an Town that were affected by the disaster. If we assume that there are an average of one hundred households in each village, there are more than one thousand households in total.

A family has at least five people and at most more than a dozen. That’s so many mouths waiting to feed!

The price of food has risen sharply again. Five thousand kilograms of food can save a lot of people!

Seeing that the county magistrate's expression had eased a lot, Shen Qingqian continued, "Sir, Old Man Sun and the bandits just live in Black Rock Mountain, and they don't really have any contact. And the grandfather and grandson haven't done anything that is against the will of heaven and earth.

Using an insignificant person in exchange for 5,000 kilograms of food is definitely a good deal!"

"Okay, I agree!"

This county magistrate was a straightforward man. After Shen Qingqian analyzed the pros and cons, he immediately agreed!

This also illustrates another point, that this county magistrate cares about the people and is a good official.

"Thank you, Your Excellency the County Magistrate! Let's go and handle the formalities now!" Shen Qingqian said, and bowed to the County Magistrate again.

With the county magistrate personally handling the procedures, efficiency is naturally very high.

In less than a quarter of an hour, everything was done after signing, signing, and paying the money!

It was not until she got the contract that Shen Qingqian learned that the county magistrate's surname was Zhu and his name was Zhu Yuru.

When Shen Qingqian came out of the county government office, Yingzi and Wang Ke'er were already waiting at the door.

"girl!"

"girl!"

Seeing Shen Qingqian coming out, the two of them came forward at the same time.

Shen Qingqian looked at their red faces from the cold and asked, "Why are you running out instead of waiting in the shop? Have you bought clothes?"

Wang Ke'er handed a bundle to Shen Qingqian and said, "I bought two sets for the young lady, one for Yingzi and me. I spent a total of four taels and six thousand silver coins. The rest is here."

Wang Ke'er said this and returned the remaining silver to Shen Qingqian.

Shen Qingqian didn't hesitate to take it and put it in her pocket.

Yingzi couldn't help but ask, "Girl, my grandfather..."

Shen Qingqian said: "The county magistrate has sent people to the gravel field to bring the people back. They will be released in the evening."

Yingzi's steps suddenly stopped, looking at Shen Qingqian, not knowing how to express her gratitude! After a long while, she knelt down with a plop and kowtowed to Shen Qingqian.

"Hey, hey, hey! Get up quickly, the ground is covered with snow. Look, your clothes are all wet!"

Shen Qingqian quickly pulled her up, she was not used to being knelt down by others.

Yingzi said with red eyes: "Girl, you are my second parents. I am willing to work like a cow or a horse to repay you in the future!"

Shen Qingqian said helplessly: "Well, if I need cattle and horses, I can just buy them with money. Why should I use you as a cow and a horse?"

Yingzi burst into laughter and said, "Girl, you are so nice!"

Shen Qingqian thought of another question. She looked at Yingzi and asked, "When your grandfather comes back, do you plan to go back to the mountain with him, or do you want to continue to follow me?"

Yingzi said firmly: "Yingzi is already the lady's person, so naturally I have to follow the lady and work for her.

I just want to know that grandpa is safe, and I only ask that you allow me to go home and see grandpa often!"

"As you wish!"

Shen Qingqian said indifferently that no matter what Yingzi decided, she would have things for her to do.

Wang Keer asked: "Miss, are we going back to the inn now?"

"No! We have to go to the food store to buy food."

Shen Qingqian said, and told the two of them the agreement reached with the county magistrate.

After hearing what Shen Qingqian said, Yingzi once again didn't know what to say!

Shen Qingqian knew what she was thinking and explained, "Yingzi, it is true that I agreed to give you food in order to save your grandfather, but that is not entirely the case.

The people suffered severely from this heavy snow, and I want to do my best to help them.

It can be seen that Magistrate Zhu of Tai'an Town is a good official. I believe he will deliver food to the victims."

This time, Yingzi looked at Shen Qingqian with not only gratitude, but more of admiration. She never expected that the girl was such a righteous person!

As the saying goes, if you survive a disaster, you will have good fortune in the future. If she hadn't experienced this disaster, how could she have met such a good person like the girl?

Thinking of this, she didn't hate Niu Er and his companions as much anymore.

Wang Ke'er also secretly admired Shen Qingqian in her heart. How many women in the world could have such a broad mind?

The three girls went to three grain shops in the whole afternoon before they collected 5,000 kilograms of grain.

Shen Qingqian instructed the managers of each grain shop to deliver the grain directly to the county government office.

On the one hand, Tai'an Town had the hard work of County Magistrate Zhu, and on the other hand, Shen Qingqian also helped a lot, so that the disaster relief effect of Tai'an Town was remarkable and the losses of the people were reduced to a minimum.

But Ping'an Town is a different story!

County Magistrate Yao was only in charge of his own small territory, and ordered his subordinates to do everything. He himself had never gone down to understand the people's sentiments, and he believed whatever his subordinates reported!

In just a few days, people froze to death in every village every day!

Not to mention the cattle, sheep and other livestock that froze to death or starved to death!

There were people snatching things on the streets, and people were so scared that they dared not go out!

County Magistrate Yao once distributed rice to various villages, but the people under him were unfair. Some people barely got a bowl of food, while others didn't even get a sip of rice soup!

In addition, there are too many people and too little food, so sending food once will not solve any major problems!

Seeing the town and the village in chaos, County Magistrate Yao was at a loss as to what to do but write a memorial to the emperor, asking for help with disaster relief.
