Chapter 474

After dealing with the accounts in hand, Liu Jin took Gao Dajun and planned to go to the city again.

Now the county magistrate has cancelled the restriction order, and many victims in the city can also find jobs in the city. Unlike before, they have to go to the broken temple every night to avoid disturbing public order.

Liu Jin walked a street, but she didn't see much of the victims except a few beggars.

There are many people Hawking food on the street.

Some of these people, such as Chen Dashang and other large grain hoarders, secretly sent servants to sell them, while others were ordinary residents. They were remorseful because they had hoarded a lot of grain before. They wanted to sell it and earn a little.

Now everyone wants to sell food. Most people know that food is already on the way and will arrive in a few days. Some even know that the food of the imperial court has arrived in Lingyang county.

To Liu Jin's surprise, the Qin family were still collecting grain at this time. As long as the grain is less than eight Wen, they accept it.

Many people thought it strange, but the Qin family helped a lot. Many people sold their grain to the Qin family. Most of those who bid outside want to sell higher. They want nine Wen or ten Wen.

Liu Jin looked at it for a while, but she didn't get to the point.

She had already told Mu Yu about it. Mu Yu's reply was to wait and see what happened.

Obviously, Mu Yu is busy enough now in Yipin building. He doesn't have much mind to master the food prices in Meiyuan county. As long as Liu Jin's business is not threatened and the victims will not be affected, he also hopes that Liu Jin will not fall into trouble again.

It's not a rational thing for the Qin family to fight against the Qin family. Moreover, there is no need for the two families to be incompatible.

Liu Jin naturally knows that harmony makes money, but at the thought of Qin Yuejiao's proud look, she straight hair in her heart. She always feels that she won't be so easy to be friendly with herself.

There was no problem with the price of grain, so Liu Jin bought thousands of kilograms and prepared for the victims for the last two or three days.

Gao Dajun advised nearby at this time: "young master, seeing that the food for disaster relief is about to arrive, we might as well wait. Maybe the food price will be cheaper at that time. It's two Wen a kilo, and the young master can save two liang of silver."

Liu Jin smelled the speech and smiled. "Unexpectedly, you will calculate the expenses here. But think about it, those grains are used for disaster relief and can't be sold. It's estimated that the price here won't drop much."

The grain for disaster relief is not for sale. The government will strictly control it. No one can touch it except the victims.

Well, if Liu Jin wants to reserve food for Shilixiang and zuixianlou, she still has to buy it from these rice merchants. So, in terms of price, it doesn't make much difference.

Most importantly, Liu Jin was wary of Chen Dashang and the Qin family.

They all disclosed to Liu Jin that they were ready to buy more grain or raise prices.

Just as Liu Jin was about to go away, a message suddenly came from a distance.

"No, the Yamen posted a notice. The grain sent by the imperial court was distributed to other counties, not Meiyuan county. Go and buy rice."

A boy shouted loudly, ran past Liu Jin and bought rice in the rice shop.

Many people listened and looked at the boy suspiciously.

Liu Jin frowned and said to Gao Dajun, "let's go and see the Yamen notice."

Liu Jin's first instinct was that the boy's howling was true.

If there is no evidence, isn't this boy crazy?

Like Liu Jin, many people rushed to the Yamen to see the notice.

When Liu Jin came to the yamen, he saw many people shouting at the door of the Yamen.

It turns out that many people here are already reading the notice, and they are still clamoring for an explanation from the county magistrate of the Yamen.

The county magistrate was busy explaining to everyone that the disaster situation in Meiyuan county was much better than that in other counties, so the food distributed to Meiyuan county was transferred to other cities by the magistrate.

Of course, as compensation, the magistrate also transferred the money from the imperial court for disaster relief to Meiyuan county. The money will be used to buy local food as food for disaster relief.

However, people feel that there is something fishy in it. Who doesn't know that most of the food in the city is still controlled by those rice merchants?

The government buys grain from these rice merchants. We don't know what's fishy in it. There's not much for the victims.

Although the county magistrate kept explaining, the people didn't listen at all. Especially for some victims, it is even more chaotic at this time.

If the imperial court doesn't deliver grain, I'm afraid the local grain price will be raised by the rice merchants. At that time, the price will be higher.

The disaster victims are even more afraid that some corrupt officials will embezzle all their money. At that time, they won't even get a penny.

When the county magistrate heard the news, he was also a big head. Unexpectedly, there was no food in Meiyuan county. Fortunately, there is a lot of silver. He can also buy food for disaster relief.

"Everyone stop arguing. With this money, you can buy rice for everyone. You can't be hungry."

At this time, xunziyu also talked to the magistrate and explained to the Yamen.

But the common people were noisy and obviously didn't believe it.

In Meiyuan County, Liu Jin and Shilixiang restaurant are the most people who give porridge to save people. The Yamen began to give porridge for a period of time, and then sent the grain to Shilixiang, so there was no following.

The news of Yamen has long been told by businessmen in the city. Everyone knows that yamen has no money and no food. It was just a cover before.

Therefore, no one believes what the Yamen said now.

Finally, the county magistrate had no choice but to let the Yamen send these people away.

Liu Jin saw all this in the distance and sighed. I'm afraid the grain price in Meiyuan county will rise again.

She could almost conclude that the magistrate did it on purpose, so the Qin family knew it early and dared to start collecting grain.

The Qin family is the richest family in Lingyang county. How can it have nothing to do with the magistrate?

At the thought of this, Liu Jin had to shake her head and turn around to go home.

She has run out of ammunition and food and can't use it any more. I only hope that the imperial court will really send silver to the victims, and the Yamen will buy food and give porridge to the victims at that time.

If the Yamen can't do it, she can't do it. She's not going to drag down the drunken fairy building for the sake of the victims.

The Qin family, Chen Dashang and others are afraid to make a sum of money this time. Liu Jin can only watch. There's nothing she can do.
