Liu Jin can't figure it out. She's going to wait. Maybe there will be results.
If the Yamen can buy food within two days, the victims will not be unable to help.
If it takes more than two days, Meiyuan county may not be safe.
At this time, Tang erqiang came in and said that a distinguished guest had arrived.
"What distinguished guest?" Liu Jin looked at Tang erqiang in wonder.
Before Tang erqiang said anything, the magistrate had already come in.
"No distinguished guests, it's me." When the magistrate came in, he blacked his face and found a place to sit down.
Liu Jin was stunned when she saw him like this.
Although he is a parent official, this is not a yamen after all. Is that too impolite?
But on second thought, it was also because the magistrate regarded her as his own person, so he ignored those small sections.
Liu Jin hurriedly went up to pour a cup of hot tea for the magistrate, sat aside and asked, "what brings the magistrate?"
"Disaster wind. Rice wind."
After drinking a mouthful of hot tea, the county magistrate said angrily, "the principal of the Qin family refused to agree to sell the grain. He also threatened that if they forcibly robbed the merchant's grain, they would sue me to the official department."
Liu Jin smelled the speech and said with a smile, "is that Miss Qin? I've seen her before. She still asks me to buy food and hoard it."
"Luckily you didn't buy it, or I'll be anxious with you." The county magistrate said with a heavy sigh, "now the Yamen can't buy food with money. How can the disaster be alleviated?"
Liu Jin thought so.
If you can't buy food like this, the victims will be hungry and may do some terrible things.
"Miss Liu, I know you are kind-hearted. You have to support more. You can't stop porridge." The county magistrate almost begged Liu Jin.
Liu Jin shook her head, "Xian Cheng, I'm afraid I have to refuse you. It's not that I don't like it, but I don't have much money. Besides, I've run out of food, and I can't buy low price food."
Rice merchants do not sell, but want to sell at a high price, so the Yamen can't buy food.
Liu Jin doesn't want to pay for the high price food for disaster relief. She doesn't have much money.
"How can you do that? If you don't serve porridge, who will serve porridge?" The county magistrate's eyes widened. Liu Jin was his last straw.
Unexpectedly, Liu Jin refused him, and he seemed to have lost his pillar.
"It's not that I don't give porridge, but I don't have food to give porridge. There are more merchants in the city than I do. The county magistrate might as well find a way for them. The little woman has really tried her best, and the county magistrate also sees it in her eyes."
When the magistrate heard this, he was silent.
How can he not know Liu Jin's efforts these days?
It would be too much to ask Liu Jin to give porridge again.
"Hey, I can't call any of those merchants."
The county magistrate felt that he was really powerless.
Liu Jin looked at the county magistrate. The adult who was in danger was really uncomfortable.
He was just a county magistrate. It's OK to help the county magistrate. It's really difficult for him to pick up the beam. He worked hard to do a good job as a county magistrate, but there was a famine.
When the famine came, he was really powerless.
The magistrate didn't want to see him, and the businessmen in the city didn't bother to pay attention to him. Even before, it was semi mandatory for businessmen to donate money for disaster relief.
It can be seen how embarrassing the situation of the county magistrate is.
However, this is not the reason why Liu Jin helped him. Liu Jin has tried her best now. When the county magistrate said this in front of Liu Jin, he felt compelled to help him.
Liu Jin drank tea quietly, as if she didn't hear the complaints of the county magistrate.
She still remembers that when he went to see the county magistrate a few days ago, he seemed to be indifferent. He thought that the imperial court's food came and Liu Jin could not be used. He also ignored Liu Jin.
"Hey." Seeing Liu Jin's appearance, the county magistrate knew that his tactics to win sympathy were useless.
"Then I'll leave."
"I'll see you off, my Lord." Liu Jin seemed to have been waiting to say this, and immediately put down her tea cup.
The county magistrate glanced, "No."
Although he said so, Liu Jin politely sent him out of the door.
"Xian Cheng, why don't you go to the Qin family to discuss it? If the Qin family agrees to lower the price, other rice merchants won't compete with the Yamen."
The magistrate stopped and looked back at Liu Jin.
"I don't know. It's just that the miss of the Qin family avoided me."
Liu Jin knew that Qin Yuejiao must have been intentional. Now the Qin family is still planning to sell a high price of grain.
After Liu Jin sent off the magistrate, she called Gao Dajun.
"Young master, you call me?"
Liu Jin nodded and said, "I want you to go somewhere and stare at someone for me."
With that, Liu Jin drew a picture of a hospital that shopkeeper Yao Fu had taken her to.
The Qin family has no visible industry in Meiyuan county. This other hospital should be secretly prepared by the Qin family. If Qin Yuejiao is in Meiyuan County, maybe only this other hospital can live.
Gao Dajun led the map and looked at it roughly. He grew up in Meiyuan county and knew the location of the city like the back of his hand. He didn't have to ask about the place marked by Liu Jin.
"OK, I'll go now."
Gao Dajun answered, turned and left.
As soon as Gao Dajun left, Zhang Dalang came in.
Seeing Zhang Dalang, Liu Jin was stunned, "Why are you here?"
Zhang Dalang has been helping Zuixian building. He usually doesn't come here. Liu Jin doesn't see him much.
"The shopkeeper asked me to come over and ask you to come. He said he had come to see you."
Liu Jin was slightly stunned when she heard the speech.
Why are there so many distinguished guests today?
After shaking her head, Liu Jin asked Zhang Dalang to take them to Zuixian building.
Just arrived at Zuixian building, Liu Jin looked at Tang Daqiang. She didn't know which distinguished guest it was.
Tang Daqiang came over and whispered, "it's Miss Qin."
Liu Jin frowned. The magistrate couldn't see Qin Yuejiao, but took the initiative to find her.
Moreover, this guy came to her more than once. Liu Jin didn't want to see her.
But at the thought of the Qin family, Liu Jin finally hardened her head and walked into the elegant room where Qin Yuejiao was waiting.
Qin Yuejiao sees Liu Jin coming in and stands up to ask Liu Jin to sit down.
This behavior is much more polite than last time, but it does not rule out the reason why she is afraid of being seen outside.
Liu Jin also sat down impolitely, "I don't know what Miss Qin wants from me? If you cooperate or something, it's OK."
