Chapter 201 Huaizhong Jinshi
When Qiu Minhan thought about the possible problems, he frowned unconsciously, turned his head, and glanced at the young man following behind him thoughtfully.
If Luo Yutang really disregards the victims, takes the opportunity to suppress their opponents, buy rice and grain in a large scale, and attempts to monopolize the grain prices of Huai and Yu states at a high level, it would be better than the seventh prince said, causing a flood to flood the Luo family’s granary and rob the wealth and help the people!
It is both great and time-saving, but it is inevitable to have a strife with all these clans, and eventually end up throwing away the black hat and jailing!
But compared with the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in Huaizhou, what is the official path of Qiu Minhan?!
Qian Yuan didn't know that Qiu Minhan had a lot of thoughts from the words of these ordinary people, nor did he know that he had made the worst plan in a flash, but just asked in his ear with a low voice: "Sir, is the Zhang family going?"
"Go, why not? I can withstand the pressure of the Luo family, benefit the people, and sell grain at low prices. I want to meet this courageous shopkeeper!"
After carrying the collar of his clothes, Qiu Minhan raised his head, changed his declining trend, and walked towards the Zhangjia store with great energy.
------
As it was dawn, Qiu Minhan, alone, took Qin Junyan, changed into ordinary plain clothes, and stood at the entrance of the alley on the back street of Zhuque Street, looking towards the back door of a wealthy family.
The Jin family? How could it be the Jin family?
He lowered his head in disbelief and looked at the address in his hand.
Zhuque Street is indeed here. But isn’t this the mansion of Mrs. Jin who runs antiques? Why did the shopkeeper of Zhang’s shop come here?
Speaking of which, when Qiu Minhan showed his identity and purpose of coming yesterday evening, the young shopkeeper of the Zhang family, who was only thirty, was not surprised, but also seemed to have prepared early-
But he was very kind and gave the group a good gift, not surprised or happy, and said with his hands down: "My Zhang family still has some food, and he does have the intention to help the people and the victims."
A simple sentence made the three people visiting the door see hope, their eyes flashed, and they were full of energy. However, the shopkeeper of the Zhang family changed the subject and spoke without being impatient.
"But, my boss said that the current stored grains are only sold to the people in Huaizhong City. If the imperial envoy wants to solve the food problem of the victims, he has to come to the door in person."
As he said that, he handed over a name certificate, with no name or name, only a line of beautiful small characters.
The small characters are just a few numbers, which describe the place where the two are standing now - the alley on the back street of Zhuque Street, and the side door that the Jin family in Huaizhong is not very open.
Qiu Minhan has been working as a sixth-rank chief minister to the Ministry of Revenue for more than ten years, and has always been open and honest. He doesn't like to hide it and study some evil thoughts.
I had a good impression of the Zhang family, so I was willing to take risks. Before dawn, I came over with Qin Junyan alone. At this time, I saw the other party being mysterious and making an appointment with the back alley of the Jin Mansion. I felt a little displeased and my face sank slightly.
But just as the two of them were hesitating, the mottled wooden door deep in the alley opened from the inside with a "creak".
The maid wearing a lotus-colored shirt and skirt, with red lips and white skin, stood in the door with her hands hanging down, and smiled suddenly at the two people at the entrance of the alley. Facing the hazy and bright sky, the smile spread out and made a sound, which made people feel like they were strangers in a Chinese Studio.
The maid smiled faintly, but said nothing,

Suddenly he turned around and disappeared inside the door. He left a piece of sleeves brushing across the half-old door, making this strange and gloomy feeling a little stronger.
Qiu Minhan was shocked and his pores stood up. He turned to look at Qin Junyan, but saw the boy frowning tightly, his face a little solemn, not as if he was afraid, but he had an indescribable smell.
Feeling Qiu Minhan's gaze, the boy turned his head and was a little confused, so he said: "The door is open, will the sir not leave?"
Qiu Minhan suddenly became stunned, feeling a little angry and a little funny.
He originally wanted to ask the boy if he was afraid, but Qin Junyan asked him seriously whether he wanted to leave, but he never thought about the question of "fear".
This Your Highness is casual, really thinking that he is a boy of ordinary status?
He was in great responsibility and did not care about anything else. The imperial envoy, who was nearly forty, calmed his mind and raised his steps and walked towards the Yousen Mansion deep in the alley.
--------------
In fact, it was just that the beautiful maid appeared too suddenly, and with the hazy sky, it made people feel a little dazzled.
After entering the side door of the Jin family, the two followed the maid for a cup of tea.
It was not until they walked around the corridor, entered a side hall, and left the seat, that the two of them realized that the Jin family was just an ordinary wealthy family.
The reason why I made an appointment at the side door of the back alley was that I was just unwilling to be interested and found something from the journey of this imperial envoy.
Unlike the Luo family, the maid had just brought tea, and the lady Jin, who rarely appeared in front of others, rushed over.
At the age of thirty, he was charming and wearing a low-key light-colored dress, he combed a tall woman's hair bun. He only wore a pure jade hairpin, which made people feel comfortable as if they were bathed in spring breeze at first sight.
"The civilian woman has seen the adults, and I am really sorry to bother the adults to come here this time."
He bowed his knees and bowed his head, not to mention anything else, just this "sincerity" made Qiu Minhan quickly stand up and return the gift.
With a woman, he can support his huge family business and have this mind and courage, and do things that even a man dares to do, so how can he not let Qiu Minhan look at him with admiration?
"The private woman knows that Mr. Qiu is worried about settling down the victims and buying grain for the winter." As soon as she sat down, Mrs. Jin did not beat around the bush and came up and went straight to the point.
"This natural disaster, the number of victims in Huai and Yu states is expected to be one million. It is also the autumn harvest, and the shortage of grain stocks, and the surge in grain prices is also the trend, which is inevitable. Based on the current grain prices in Huai, I am afraid that the disaster relief silver brought by the adults will not last long."
"Since the lady has mentioned it straight to the point, I have something to say." Mrs. Jin said what Qiu Minhan was thinking, which made him feel cold.
"This autumn flood is rare in 50 years. The wide range and great power make the emperor frightened, so he ordered his official to go south overnight to provide disaster relief.
My wife has lived in Huai for a long time and has understood the hills and valleys of the business community in Huaizhou. Now it is the autumn harvest, and the annual payment has not been paid, and the national treasury is also empty. The disaster relief silver brought by my official can barely be enough for the people of Huai and Yu states to survive until the autumn flood retreats, transportation is restored, and supplies from the ponds and Hui states arrive.
But according to the current food prices in Huaizhong, it is really...ah... I really don't know how these millions of disaster victims should survive..."
