Little Peasant Wife - Chapter 485
Lord Wang looked at Liu Jin, frowned slightly, and said softly, “if I remember correctly, you seem to be the owner of Zui Xian Lou? Zui Xian Lou is the largest restaurant in Meiyuan county. It should not be difficult to earn hundreds of liang of silver every month. You can take out these silver to buy food and food, and you can support some time.”
Liu Jin listened and drank a mouthful of tea in silence.
On the other hand, the county magistrate quickly explained to Lord Wang, so as not to force Liu Jin too much and make Liu Jin feel bad.
“My Lord, affected by the famine, the business of this restaurant has not been very good. Although Zuixian restaurant is the best restaurant, it may not earn much money in a month. I’m afraid there’s nothing Miss Liu can do. Why don’t we ask someone else?”
Lord Wang glanced at the magistrate, then looked at Liu Jin and narrowed his eyes.
“In that case, it’s not easy for me to be aggressive. I made such a bad decision just for the sake of the victims in the whole city. I hope Miss Liu won’t be surprised.”
Liu Jin nodded, “Lord Wang is wholehearted for the people, and the little woman admires him. However, the little woman doesn’t have much ability, so you’d better ask someone else. The Meiyuan county is so big, and the little woman is not the only merchant.”
The implication is to ask the two adults to find someone else to help. Liu Jin has no choice.
Lord Wang has some anger on his face, but they all understand that Liu Jin should not be the only problem about the victims. Speaking of it, they should take the main responsibility for government dishes, and Liu Jin and other merchants should help.
“Miss Liu, there’s actually one thing we need your help this time.” Lord Wang said.
“My Lord, if I can help, I will try my best.”
“The imperial court wants to buy Shilixiang hotel. Moreover, I hope you will declare that Shilixiang has long been the Qi family’s, and all the disaster relief deeds you have done before are also the orders of the Qi family. Do you understand?”
Lord Wang said to Liu Jin.
Liu Jin frowned when she heard the speech. “Which Qi family?”
Lord Wang smiled and bowed to the sky. “Of course it’s the Qi family of today’s prime minister.”
Liu Jin realized that Lord Wang was Prime Minister Qi’s man.
At this time, he wanted to take Liu Jin’s efforts as his own, and attribute the credit of Meiyuan county’s disaster relief to the prime minister.
In this way, the son of heaven will think it is the credit of the prime minister’s family, and will naturally reward the prime minister greatly..
It’s a good idea, but the premise is to take Shilixiang from Liu Jin and let Liu Jin admit that all the previous disaster relief actions were ordered by the prime minister.
“Sorry, I refuse this matter.”
The Qi family had already had a deep relationship with Liu Jin. I didn’t expect to persecute Liu Jin this time.
Lord Wang’s face sank when he heard the speech.
The county magistrate obviously didn’t know this. Looking at Lord Wang and Liu Jin, he couldn’t find words to ease the atmosphere of both sides for a moment.
“Do you know what the prime minister means?”
Lord Wang looked at Liu Jin and seemed to feel that he had just not made it clear. He repeated it again.
If he had said so normally, other businessmen would have agreed.
After all, the prime minister is under one person and above ten thousand people. It’s impolite to say that Liu Jin can be crushed to death with one hand.
Ordinary people can’t afford to offend the prime minister, and no one dares to refuse the prime minister like Liu Jin.
“I’ll think about it.” Liu Jin thought for a moment and felt that she couldn’t be too direct. Her tone was a little different from Microsoft.
When Lord Wang heard the speech, he smiled and nodded his head, “think about it.”
After sending them away, Liu Jin sat in her study and thought carefully.
The prime minister has already sent someone over. If he refuses decisively, I’m afraid he will be regarded as an enemy by the Qi family. At that time, he will be in great trouble.
“I don’t want to deal with you anymore. You still don’t want to let me go.”
Liu Jin sighed helplessly.
It’s not a way to go on like this. She and Mu Yu can’t fight the prime minister.
Thinking of this, Liu Jin unexpectedly showed a trace of revenge. This is a determination to fight the enemy to the end, even if he is broken to pieces.
Subsequently, Liu Jin thought that he might be able to contact Lord Huang.
Lord Huang is also an official of the imperial court and once an imperial envoy. He may also have some abilities in officialdom.
After waiting for two days, Mu came back. During this period, there was another riot among the victims in Meiyuan county. They all broke into the Yamen and wanted to smash the high hall of the Yamen.
As soon as Mu Yu entered the door, Liu Jin greeted him.
“What’s the matter?” Mu Yu saw something wrong with Liu Jin’s look and asked quickly.
The little nail came and quickly took the things in Mu’s hand and put them aside.
Roche, he Sanniang and others came to say hello to mu. Mu responded with a smile.
However, seeing Liu Jin in a hurry, they didn’t bother much, so they didn’t talk to Mu Yu.
Mu Yu followed Liu Jin into his room.
Roche and he Sanniang watched, and they both laughed.
“As soon as he came back, he took people into the house. Jin’er is getting bolder and bolder now.”
“Don’t talk nonsense. They must have something to discuss. Don’t you see jin’er has been frowning these days?”
He Sanniang originally wanted to make fun of it. Roche quickly refuted it, so she didn’t say it again.
Liu Jin closed the door and said to Mu Yu, “the prime minister’s running dog asked me to give them Shili incense, and asked me to publicly declare that everything before was instructed by the prime minister to relieve the victims.”
Mu Yu frowned fiercely when he heard the speech.
“So shameless? Is his running dog Lord Wang? I heard before that the minister in charge of disaster relief in Lingyang County, surnamed Li, is a disciple of the prime minister. Lord Wang, who came to Meiyuan County, is Lord Li’s confidant. It seems that the prime minister has arranged for it.”
“What should I do now? These two days, he has been forcing me to make a statement, but he doesn’t pay much attention to disaster relief. He says that he can’t buy food at a high price and detains the relief silver sent by the imperial court.”
Liu Jin looks at Mu Yu and waits for mu Yu to make an idea.
Mu Yu pondered for a while and then said, “No. we can’t tolerate it all the time.”
Liu Jin doesn’t want to give it in her heart. However, if she doesn’t give it, what will happen? Liu Jin believes that Mu Yu knows better than herself.
“No, what shall we do in the future?”
“When soldiers come to block us, water and earth cover us. Being evasive all the time will only make us more and more depressed. They will certainly increase their oppression on us in the future. If we want to do this today and that tomorrow, there will be no end.”
