Don't panic when the end of the world comes, the boss of the group has a system

There was a severe drought in the four western states of Dong Chu. Except for Yongzhou which could barely hold on, the victims in the other three states fled eastwards. The first choice for the victims was Anping Prefecture, which was the closest to the east.

Even though Anping Prefecture had already resettled tens of thousands of disaster victims, disaster victims from the other three western continents continued to pour into Anping Prefecture.

Not to mention the victims who have already been resettled, there are currently tens of thousands of victims gathered outside the four major city gates of Anping City: East, West, South, and North.

Together with the disaster victims gathered outside Anping City and the indigenous people in Anping City, there are currently more than 10 people in Anping City alone.

Not only was there a shortage of food and water in Anping Prefecture, but there were also disaster victims outside the counties under the jurisdiction of Anping Prefecture, who were also short of food and water.

The six escort convoys only had more than 70 kilograms of grain. For the entire Anping Prefecture, these hundreds of thousands of kilograms of grain were still a drop in the bucket.

Even if grain was sold at 100 wen per jin, these hundreds of thousands of jin of grain would not be sold for more than a few days, and the entire Anping Prefecture would soon face the dilemma of food shortage.

Only ordinary people with a little wealth can afford such expensive food.

Ordinary people who cannot afford to buy food will starve to death.

Since Anping Prefecture was unable to resettle the victims and food prices soared, many people starved to death every day inside and outside the city.

Prefect Zhao now has neither food nor money. Even if he wants to help these people, he is powerless.

Seeing the common people suffering and living in dire straits, Prefect Zhao was extremely worried and helpless. He could only keep writing memorials to Emperor Tianwu.

After reading the letter from County Magistrate Zhou, Prefect Zhao felt a little better.

If this is true, I wonder if Wanyuan Chamber of Commerce is willing to come to Anping Prefecture to do business?

"Master, Mr. Qian wants to see you. He said he has something urgent to tell you."

When Prefect Zhao was lost in thought, he heard the voice of a gatekeeper outside the second hall.

"Take Mr. Qian to the flower hall. I'll be there soon."

After giving the order, Magistrate Zhao stood up and walked out of the study...

"Yes!"

……

The study is in the east wing of the second hall, and the flower hall is in the west wing of the second hall.

"Master Qian, go in and wait a moment. The master will be here soon."

After bringing Qian Fugui to the entrance of the flower hall and greeting him, the gatekeeper turned around and left...

"Yeah, thanks, bro!"

As soon as Qian Fugui entered the flower hall, Prefect Zhao arrived.

……

"Meet the adults!"

After seeing Prefect Zhao at the door of the flower hall, Qian Fugui, who was standing in the flower hall, immediately saluted.

"Master Qian, please take a seat!"

After entering the flower hall, Magistrate Zhao walked towards the upper seat while greeting Qian Fugui.

"Thank you, sir!"

……

"What's the urgent matter, Mr. Qian?

After the two of them sat down as host and guest, Prefect Zhao spoke immediately.

"Sir, do you know that there is a Wanyuan Chamber of Commerce in Linshui County that sells grain?"

"Could it be that Boss Qian also knows about this? Before you came, I just received news that the Wanyuan Chamber of Commerce in Linshui County has a large amount of grain for sale. Not only is it cheap, but there is no purchase limit."

"It turns out that the adults already know about this."

When Qian Fugui heard that Prefect Zhao already knew about this, any thought of taking credit in his mind instantly disappeared.

"I didn't see it with my own eyes, so I still don't believe it's true."

"My lord, this is true!"

"How does Mr. Qian know this is true?"

Prefect Zhao's voice suddenly rose.

"Sir, the clerk from the Qian family grain store just came from Linshui County to tell me the news. He personally went to the Wanyuan Chamber of Commerce to see it, and he said that this matter is absolutely true."

"Is this true?"

"Sir, it's true. I asked the guy several times and he said it was absolutely true."

"He also said: The Wanyuan Chamber of Commerce in Linshui County not only sells food, but also water. Water is only two cents per dan, and there is no limit on the quantity. You can buy as much water as you want."

Qian Fugui's words once again overturned Prefect Zhao's three views.

Food can be transported from other places, but how can water be transported from other places?

County Magistrate Zhou reported just a few days ago: the rivers and lakes within a hundred miles around Linshui County have dried up, the wells in Linshui County are almost dry, and the people in Linshui County are running out of water.

Under such circumstances, it is really strange that Wanyuan Chamber of Commerce has a large amount of cheap water for sale!

Who exactly is the owner of Wanyuan Chamber of Commerce? He not only sells large amounts of food, but also large amounts of water?

"Boss Qian, do you know the origins of Wanyuan Chamber of Commerce?"

"Sir, no one in Linshui County knows the origin of Wanyuan Chamber of Commerce. Wanyuan Chamber of Commerce suddenly appeared in Linshui County."

"Wanyuan Chamber of Commerce is so mysterious?"

Hearing Qian Fugui say this, Prefect Zhao muttered softly.

"Sir, where are the escorts from Shuzhou?"

……

"Well, the escorts from Shuzhou are still resting. After they have rested, they will come to you to settle the escort fee."

When Governor Zhao heard Qian Fugui asking where the Shuzhou escort had gone, he felt guilty and evaded the question after a moment of silence.

Six packages of rations suddenly appeared in the government office, but there was not a single escort. I wonder where these escorts went?

There is something weird about this matter, and it's hard to explain it directly. I can only deal with Qian Fugui for now.

"Sir, I am not looking for the escort masters from Shuzhou to settle the payment for the escort. I want to ask them to escort the grain to Linshui County."

"Since the Wanyuan Chamber of Commerce in Linshui County has grain for sale, I plan to ask the grain merchants in Anping Prefecture to go to Linshui County to buy grain together. There are so many disaster victims along the way, and it will not work without escorts."

"Yeah, that's a good idea. I was thinking the same thing. Otherwise, why don't you hire the local escort agency in Anping Prefecture? The escorts from Shuzhou may need to rest for a few days."

Qian Fugui said that he wanted to go to Linshui County to buy food, which was exactly what Prefect Zhao wanted. But when it came to the topic of hiring an escort, Prefect Zhao again evaded the question.

"Your Excellency is right. I will go and see if there are any suitable people in the local escort agency."

"Sir, I'll take my leave!"

After standing up, bowing and saying goodbye, Qian Fugui retreated out of the flower hall...

"Yes, Mr. Qian, take care!"

Prefect Zhao stood up and said politely.

……

After Qian Fugui left, Prefect Zhao walked towards the study while wondering in his heart: Where did all those bodyguards in Shuzhou go?

……

When Prefect Zhao was wondering where the escorts from Shuzhou had gone, they had just finished their lunch in an inn in Chen County.

……

After the heads of the six escort agencies left, about three hundred escorts from the six escort agencies entered Chen County.

After finding the largest inn in the county town and settling everyone in, the escorts applied medicine while discussing how they felt when their escort was robbed.

When Jin Wu flew into Chen County, the escorts in the inn were having lunch.

After searching the county town, Jin Wu found the Shuzhou escort who was having lunch in the inn.

After listening to the discussions of these escorts for a while, Jin Wu was puzzled: Since the killers from Tianxiang Tower succeeded, why didn't they send the robbed food to Butterfly Valley?
