Chapter 425

Under the command of Liu Jin, the Shilixiang hotel has basically cleaned up. Although it can't be opened today, Liu Jin left all the ingredients sent.

"Today you cook porridge here. Wu Tai, go outside and tell everyone that porridge is limited, first come, first served, but you can't rush."

Wu Tai was surprised at the speech.

"Boss, you want to do it again. The county magistrate must have made up his mind about it. Why don't we wait?"

Yesterday, it was such a mess to send a dish of porridge. Wu Tai and he Sanniang didn't want to do it again.

Liu Jin took a look at their faces, shook her head and said, "there's nothing to do anyway. If you can help a little, it's just to accumulate happiness in the future."

Wu Tai sighed and could not argue any more. He Sanniang also shook her head with a bitter smile.

"My niece is a little stubborn, but she has a good heart."

Liu Jin clapped her hands to keep everyone busy, while she took Liu Xiaoxiao to the Yamen.

By the time we arrived at the yamen, many people had gathered here. As soon as Liu Jin arrived, shopkeeper Yao Fu waved and asked Liu Jin to come to him.

"So many people?" After Liu Jin came over, she said the first sentence to shopkeeper Yao Fu.

"It's not. In addition to the owner, the shopkeeper also gets it. Otherwise, I don't want to do business today."

Liu Jin smiled awkwardly when she heard the speech. Sure enough, she saw Tang Daqiang not long later.

Soon the magistrate came into the house and sat on the main table.

"Take your seats."

When they heard the speech, they took their seats one after another, while some people were very dissatisfied.

"Xian Cheng, what do you mean?" A large merchant invited here didn't sit down and asked the magistrate loudly.

The magistrate looked at the man and his face was slightly heavy.

This man is not a fool. Seeing this, he had to close his mouth and sit down obediently.

"As you can see, now all the victims have entered the city. If you don't appease them quickly, I'm afraid it will lead to great disaster. I've ordered that the victims will no longer be allowed to enter the city, but they can't be driven away for a while. Let's find a way to see if we can properly deal with these victims?"

The magistrate said to the crowd.

As soon as they heard this, their faces became gloomy.

Some of them refused the county magistrate once because they didn't want to help the victims.

Now that so many people are here, the county magistrate spoke directly again. It's hard for them to refuse. Since they could not refuse, these businessmen were silent and simply kept silent.

If they don't speak, the county magistrate can't force them to agree.

At this time, the magistrate looked around all the people.

Seeing that everyone did not speak, the county magistrate was a little angry. "Is it difficult to use my words?"

The merchants remained silent.

At this time, the magistrate took a fancy to a rich businessman.

Liu Jin remembered that the rich merchant was the richest merchant in Meiyuan County, surnamed Chen.

"Master Chen, you are the most famous businessman. Please speak first."

It seems that the county magistrate has been eyeing him for a long time, so he asked him to speak as soon as he opened his mouth.

Master Chen's face was cold for a moment.

But the county magistrate has already said so. If he doesn't express his attitude, I'm afraid he will have a lot of trouble in the future. After all, Meiyuan county is now in the charge of the county mayor. If you offend him, can you do business well?

"I think that since there are so many victims, we must appease them so as not to cause any more trouble. It is said that some victims have rushed into a shop to rob things."

Liu Jin smelled the speech and looked at Tang Daqiang. I didn't expect that the news had spread to other merchants so soon.

Meiyuan County said that it was neither big nor small, and the news spread quickly.

Many businessmen listened and whispered about it.

The merchant surnamed Chen stopped and didn't speak, as if he had already handed in a job.

The county magistrate frowned. Master Chen didn't say anything, obviously to shirk it.

"Master Chen, in your opinion, how should this matter be solved?"

"I think it's a matter for the Yamen to step up patrolling, and we can't let the victims rob our businesses."

Master Chen is very quick in safeguarding his own interests.

In a few words, he arranged for the Yamen.

"Hum, you are quite good at speaking. How can the Yamen guards manage so many victims in this city?"

The county magistrate asked them to discuss how to help the victims, not how to manage the victims.

Master Chen always talks about him, and the county magistrate is a little angry.

"Just say, can you help these victims donate food?"

The county magistrate's Frank inquiry made master Chen unable to avoid the topic any more.

"Since the county magistrate has spoken, even if he can't, he has to be able."

He said it reluctantly.

Everyone present knew what he was thinking. But that's what everyone thinks.

"How much can you donate?"

The county magistrate also went out of his way and asked directly.

Master Chen asked and didn't know how to answer.

If he said less, the county magistrate would not want to. If he said more, he wouldn't want to.

After thinking about it, boss Chen finally raised an index finger and I donated one hundred Liang.

A hundred Liang is not much, not much, not much. The county magistrate really can't say anything.

The magistrate took a fancy to other people again, which obviously meant that he wanted others to follow suit.

At the sign of the county magistrate, one businessman after another stood up and said the amount of their donation.

When it was Liu Jin's turn, Liu Jin thought about it and decided to donate fifty Liang.

Fifty Liang silver is neither too much nor too little among these merchants, which is just in line with her identity as the owner of Zui xianlou.

Although it is said that Zuixian restaurant is the largest restaurant in Meiyuan County, Liu Jin has just taken over and has no inside information. The magistrate also knows it.

Liu Jin is very happy to have so many county Chengs.

"On behalf of many victims, I'd like to thank you. Today, you'll give me a face and have a meal in Zuixian building."

These businessmen nodded. Since the business has been agreed, the silver that should be donated must be donated, so they have to eat a meal back.

Liu Jin knew that this was the opportunity for the county magistrate to make money in disguise. She was even more happy in her heart.

So many people must spend a lot of money in Zuixian building. Isn't she the one who will make money at that time?

Tang Daqiang responded quickly and immediately said, "I'll go back and prepare for you first."
