Farmer’s Little Girl - Chapter 3392
Chapter 3392 Extraordinary week silver 8
“If it hadn’t been for my family’s food shortage for several days, and my sister-in-law passed out of hunger this morning, I wouldn’t have come to the chief steward to sell herself.” Zhou Yin sighed, “Although it only takes ten days, for us, it can take a quarter of an hour. Human life.”
“I know that those grain merchants have grain in their hands, and the county grandfather also knows, otherwise they will not be detained. Compared with them, the grain of our firm is not worth mentioning. I will not harm the interests of the firm for this. “Yes,” Zhou Yin said frankly: “And I am already a member of the firm. You know me. I want to be ahead of others, so I will definitely think for the sake of the firm. The interests of a firm are small interests, a firm. The better, the better the small talent.”
“Okay!” The chief steward patted his shoulder with relief, “Thirty-two people are thirty-two people. You will show them to me tomorrow. Now the outside is getting chaotic, we have to leave quickly. ”
Otherwise, the refugees will become a chaotic army, and they will all be folded here.
“Can the little one beg for them and advance one day’s rations in advance?” Seeing the general manager looking indifferently, his smile remained unchanged, but brighter, bending over and saying: “So they can be fine tomorrow. The spirit of God comes to see the big steward.”
The chief manager looked down and thought for a moment, nodded slightly, and called someone over, “Take Zhou Yin to get a bag of wheat, and also, give him thirty-two loaves.”
The chief steward handed a deed to Zhou Yin, “Zhou Yin, you have to be as good as you said for the business…”
Zhou Yin patted his chest and said: “Big manager, I have been running errands for you for two or three years, don’t you know me? A gentleman can’t chase a horse with a word!”
He is holding a pen and signing his name on the contract proficiently. His handwriting is not good, but the word “Zhou Yin” is very beautiful. These are the best two characters he has practiced.
He pressed his handprints, put his hands on the contract, took over, and nodded in satisfaction.
Waiting for Zhou Yin to leave, the second manager was very puzzled, “Brother, why are you so good to him?”
“He is worth it,” the chief steward said: “This kid is very clever, and he can eat well in several nearby counties, especially in Luojiang County.”
“But Luojiang County is just a county, and we just passed by in previous years. How useful can he eat here for our business?”
“A bag of wheat for a section of the road is not worth it?” The chief steward said: “Moreover, this kid can eat well in Luojiang County, and he will definitely be able to eat elsewhere in the future. I like him.”
The second steward still had to talk, so the chief steward raised his hand to stop, and said, “Go and check the news first. Has the county magistrate really bought food from other places?”
The second manager responded and went to find their contacts in Luojiang County, and finally heard from a government officer: “The officer who was next to the main book said that the county magistrate did buy food from other places, and he was already on the road. It won’t be long before it will be delivered, and the relief food given by the court was robbed on the road. It is estimated that it will not arrive so soon.”
“Do those grain merchants still have grain in their hands?”
“I heard that there are, but they don’t want to sell, so they put the amount out every day. I heard that they are all detained in the county by the county magistrate, and the gates of the city are rigidly guarded not to let them go out.”
The manager couldn’t help but screamed inwardly, “When are you thinking about raising food prices and driving these hungry refugees in the county to a desperate situation, no one can live.”
Still alive delayed them.
“The big steward, what should I do? This batch of grain belongs to Wu’s family in Shangzhou. We were trapped here. It was already too late and we would not be able to deliver it again…” It was a big blow to the reputation of the company.
The steward turned around and said: “The Wu family is looking at the money. Although we can’t give them food, we can give them a satisfactory price. We can understand this matter. The most important thing is that we have to live. To Shangzhou.”
“Then…” The second manager was about to speak, a guy ran in from the outside, leaned forward and whispered back: “Big manager, we are not allowed to go out at the city gate. It is said that everyone who goes out of the city, more than a cart of goods are all Not allowed to go out.”
The chief steward sighed: “What I was worried about still happened. The emperor had just issued an edict and asked all regions to work together to overcome the difficulties. Many prefectures and counties began to close the city gates. The rich fled outside, leaving behind the poor of the city.”
“This, this, this, how is this emperor like this?”
“The world is not stable yet. There are wars everywhere. The people either have to pay taxes every year or be called up for military service. Apart from the wealthy, who can survive such natural disasters?”
The chief steward said: “The court has no surplus food, and it is forcing the wealthy and tycoons to make disaster relief efforts.”
“Then what should we do, don’t we want to be trapped in Luojiang County?” The second manager became anxious, “Big Brother, we are outsiders. Once Luojiang County riots, we are the first to be targeted.”
“So Zhou Yin is very important.” The chief steward squeezed his finger, “Do you now know why I promised Zhou Yin? With him, we have a foundation in Luojiang County, not foreigners, even, we said We may be able to leave Luojiang County smoothly.”
Zhou Yin returned to Qili Village with a bag of grain and a bag of cakes.
He handed over the grain to Zhou Jin, “This is our family’s, grind it out, save a bit of food, and the yamen should release grain after 20 days.”
Zhou Jin stared at the grain at his feet, “You, did you rob?”
Zhou Yin carried the remaining bag and said, “No, I just found work and did it.”
He said to Zhou Dalang who was stunned by the side: “You follow me. I also found a job for you. I will find all the young people in the village and gather at the village chief’s house.”
On the side of , Tuesday Lang immediately dragged Wednesday Lang to join in the fun.
The remaining people in the village quickly gathered at the village chief’s house, not just the young, but the old and weak women and children. One of them came.
There are not many people left in the village. A lot of people died in the front, and a lot of people fled in the back. Now there are only less than half of the people left.
Everyone is silent, mainly because they have no energy to speak.
Zhou Yin hadn’t eaten anything except for the little fat man’s half of the pie. He went back and forth to the county town today. Even if someone from the caravan helped carry things when he came back, he was not very strong now.
So he made a long story short and said to the newly appointed village chief’s eldest nephew: “Dahua, I found a job for the young man in the village in the county.”
Dahua and the villagers were stunned, and then looked at Zhou Yin with bright eyes.
Zhou Yindao: “Unloading, loading, and guarding are all hard work, no wages, only food, two meals a day.”
Dahua asked in a daze, “Really?”
