Chapter 415

After Yao Fu finished, Tang Daqiang smiled awkwardly.

"If this goes on, what should we restaurant owners do?" Tang Daqiang said helplessly.

Yao Fu nodded and sighed, "it's only strange that the people who caused the famine recently ate at home. How many people can come out to eat?"

Liu Jin shook her head. "It's not all. The winter of this year is very cold, and people don't want to come out. That's why the hotel doesn't have many guests. It's much better when spring comes after a period of time."

"Our business in Taihe building is like this. Isn't your Shili incense worse?"

"Indeed, that's why we came to talk to you. Is there any way to reverse the current situation?" Tang Daqiang counseled his shoulder and said helplessly.

Yao Fu smiled. "If I had a way, I could wait until now. You don't know. The county magistrate came to me a few days ago and gathered all the businessmen in the city together to say that they want to distribute food to the victims. Every businessman has to donate some money. I'm big."

Liu Jin hurriedly asked, "are there many victims in Meiyuan county?"

"It's not that many. Even the victims of several counties nearby also poured into Meiyuan county. In addition, the former county magistrate embezzled and sold all the grain in the granary. Now there's no grain in the Yamen. Don't you have to ask us businessmen for it?"

"The scourge is endless." After hearing this, Liu Jin said faintly.

"The past, needless to say, now there is no county magistrate here. If you talk too much, it will be bad for you in case some people who want to hear it. The former county magistrate has operated here for so long, maybe some small people will follow him wholeheartedly. Be careful that the disaster comes out of the mouth."

After Yao Fu said that, everyone was silent. At this time, a boy from Taihe building ran in from the outside and said in a panic: "no, no, no, some people outside ran into the city, all dressed in rags, as if they were disaster victims in a nearby village."

The victims ran into the city. Yao Fu looked at Liu Jin suspiciously.

"I've just been to a remote village, and those victims can't stand hunger. Sooner or later, some victims will come to the city. It seems that the county magistrate is right. If we don't hurry up and arrange food for the victims, something big may happen."

"Hey, there are so many businessmen in the city. Everyone pushed me and I pushed you. As a result, few people are willing to pay for food. The county magistrate also lost his temper, but he is the county magistrate. Few people really pay attention to him."

Yao Fu waved his hand, "forget it. I can't do a good job in the business of Taihe building. How can I manage so many victims? I'm not like you. I have childe Mu behind me."

Liu Jin didn't say anything. She left the Taihe building with Tang Daqiang and others and walked towards the city gate. Before reaching the city gate, they saw five or six men in rags.

These men look haggard and hungry. It should be that they haven't had enough food for a long time.

Just as Liu Jin approached, a man ran over and said to Liu Jin and others, "Miss, please give me a job. I don't want salary, as long as you can give me something to eat."

After hearing this, Liu Jin took out a little silver from her purse and said to the man, "go and buy something for everyone here. Let's have a meal."

As soon as the man heard this, he saw that Liu Jin really took out a silver or two from her purse and immediately respectfully stretched out his hands to pick it up.

"Good man, you are a living Bodhisattva."

"It's only one or two silver. Don't be too polite. I can't help anything else. You'd better think about it yourself."

Liu Jin said and took several people around. After listening to what had just been said, Liu Jin didn't feel satisfied, but had some dignity.

"The young master is really a good man. If it were someone else, I'm afraid they wouldn't even look at the victims. It's the greatest blessing of our life that we can work with the young master." Tang Daqiang and Gao Dajun on one side also agreed.

"What's worth praising? Others just accepted one or two silver coins from me. Now he's poor and he needs one or two silver coins, so he thinks I've helped him a lot. But one day when he's rich and he has thousands of two silver coins, he won't think these two silver coins are great anymore."

Liu Jin didn't recognize this statement and said to several people, "only when he is prosperous and rich, he still thinks that my silver or two is a great kindness to him. This kind of person is a loving and righteous person."

"How does the young master know that he will not be a man of love and righteousness?"

"Intuition." Liu Jin said to Tang Daqiang. After Tang Daqiang listened, he rolled his eyes and didn't know what to say.

The victims here have poured into the city. I don't know how many victims are coming here in other places.

"If I hadn't followed the young owner, I'm afraid my family would have become a disaster victim." Liu Xiaoxiao said on one side.

Gao Dajun touched his nose and said nothing, but I'm afraid the situation in his family is even worse than Liu Xiaojia's.

"So it seems that the young owner has just ordered 2800 kilograms of grain. If it's a few days later, I'm afraid it's hard to buy even 15 Wen a kilogram of rice." Tang Daqiang was thinking. Liu Jin didn't know what he was thinking. It was estimated that he was thinking about where to buy the rice from Shilixiang hotel in the future.

"It's almost time. Let's hurry to the Yamen. I don't know if the childe Liu Jin has got the title deed of Zuixian building?"

Liu Jin was about to take several people to the Yamen. She saw two yamen guards, grabbed an old woman and looked carefully. It was not a stranger, but old lady Li in Qingshui village.

The old lady Li was not easy. At this time, she was caught by two yamen guards. She twisted desperately to get rid of it. She scolded and shouted, "let me go. I'm not here to beg for food or a disaster victim. I'm looking for someone. Why are you holding me?"

"What are you talking about? You just beat two victims at the gate of the city. It has become a crime. You must be arrested and questioned in the Yamen."

A yamen guard roared. He had already scolded old lady Li many times, but old lady Li didn't listen.

"Don't wrong me. Those two beggars are obviously beggars. They hold my skirt, pull my sleeve and ask me to give them food. Why should I give them food? It's not my son or my grandson. They stopped me. I can't go away and beat them a few times. What's the matter?"
