Early the next morning, Qian Qianqian got up, but she didn't expect Mu Tianyue and Zhao Ye to be much earlier than her, breakfast was prepared in the restaurant, and the three of them sat downstairs to eat together.

"Have you heard? Last night, Wang Yuan, as well as Boss Li's mansion, were robbed by robbers and robbed a lot of food, and they went to the yamen early this morning to report to the official. ”

"Can you not hear about such a big thing? And not only these two households, but even more than ten big businessmen in Zhou City have been robbed, even the Mu family is no exception, it seems that this time Lianzhou City will be a little turbulent. ”

"If you want me to say, is it because the general is not there, there was a general guarding Lianzhou before, where did such a thing happen? I don't know when the general will return. ”

The people outside gathered together in twos and threes, talking in a whisper, but they were all heard by Qian Qianqian and the three of them, it seems that Mu Tianyue is really a smart person, and he even did a full set of acts, so that Ling Zi'an robbed his house.

"Since those people have gone to report to the official, then we will also go to the county government in a while."

Qian Qianqian took a sip of porridge, a light smile appeared on her face, and her eyes rolled around, as if she had hidden a lot of ghost ideas.

"I've already sent someone to take care of the yamen, and everything is under our control."

Mu Tianyue is also very sure, even those officials in the state city know that he has a great relationship with Xiao Mohan, as long as he is under the banner of Xiao Mohan, he is not afraid that a small county order will not buy it.

In the county office, those foreign masters have made a mess, and the hall is very noisy, even if the county order is still in the hall, they can't be suppressed at all, these people have contributed a lot of silver to Lianzhou City every year, and some are also familiar with the high-ranking officials in the capital, in the past, when the wind and waves were calm, they could give the county order a little face, but if it really annoyed them, a small county order, they really won't put it in their eyes.

"Everyone, this official will send someone to investigate this matter strictly, and I will definitely give you an explanation, you better go back first, and the official will notify you as soon as there is news."

The county magistrate was so anxious that his face was red, and his voice was hoarse, but the audience was still arguing endlessly, these rich businessmen were not fuel-efficient, etc., they were all businessmen, so one was more shrewd than the other, for fear that they would suffer a loss if they were not careful.

Just when the situation was out of control, someone suddenly coughed at the door, everyone gradually quieted down, and slowly turned their heads, only to see Mu Tianyue and Qian Qianqian appear at the door.

"Yo, Boss Mu, you can be regarded as coming, I heard that your Mu family also suffered heavy losses last night, and Master Mu also fell ill because of it, you must find out that group of robbers with us."

"That's right, those thieves are really bold, if you don't find them out and punish them severely, where will there be peace in this Lianzhou City?"

Several outsiders immediately hugged up and beat their chests in front of Mu Tianyue, the Mu family is the largest merchant in this Lianzhou City, so Mu Tianyue is also quite prestigious among this group of people.

"I know everyone is in a hurry, and I'm in the same mood as everyone now, but it's not a way for you to argue here, it's hard for the county magistrate in vain, so let's calm down first and think about the next way to deal with it."

Mu Tianyue frowned, pretending to be distressed, as if he had also been greatly wronged, but he was not as hysterical as these people.

"Or Boss Mu knows the general situation, Boss Mu, Master Mu's illness is not a big deal, right?"

The county magistrate immediately greeted him, and he was immediately relieved, Mu Tianyue had ordered him last night, so that Master Mu was sick, and he didn't go out, and he didn't see guests, so these people thought that Master Mu was sick because of the robbery.

"The doctor said that my father was in a hurry, so he fell ill, it's no big deal, and he will be fine after a few days of recuperation, thank you for your care."

Mu Tianyue was very respectful, but he dwarfed those noisy outsiders, saying that the people did not fight with the officials, although those outsiders had rich backgrounds, they didn't want to offend this Lianzhou petty official rashly.

"Since the county magistrate has said that someone has been sent to track it down, it is useless for you to make noise here, so please move to the "Tianyue Restaurant", I will prepare a table of wine and food for you, and we will discuss countermeasures together, okay? ”

Mu Tianyue's face did not change, and asked lightly, those people looked at each other outside, and they all felt that he was right, it is indeed not a way to force the county order here, and it is easy to be self-defeating if you are not careful.

"Then we might as well be respectful."

"Yes, let's go with Boss Mu."

Those outsiders agreed one after another, turned around, and left the county office one by one, and the county magistrate couldn't help but raise his hand to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead when he saw this scene.

"My lord, let's go first, and you'll have to worry about this matter."

Mu Tianyue bowed to the county order, and politely instructed, and the county order immediately nodded in agreement, this time Mu Tianyue solved his urgent need, how could he not do his best?

Back to the "Tianyue Restaurant", the wine and food in the Accord have already been put on the table, although all the rich businessmen present are from Lianzhou City, but the banquet is all ordinary dishes, there is no delicacies from the mountains and seas, and the wine is just farmhouse rice wine, which is no more ordinary.

"Bosses, today I will prepare a little thin wine and feast with Boss Qian, the current situation is not good, and our Mu family's life is not easy, so I hope you don't dislike it."

Mu Tianyue sat at the upper seat, Qian Qianqian sat next to him, although the business in Qian Qianqian's hands was far worse than these people at the wine table, but because of Xiao Mohan, many people had to give her a little thin noodles.

"Boss Mu, your Mu family has monopolized most of the business in Lianzhou City, although the current border war is in turmoil, the Mu family will not be so poor."

Boss Li glanced at the dishes on the table, and his face couldn't hide his disgust, and the others were the same, they didn't look down on these drinks and dishes.

"It's really not going to be now, but today's business is not good, the silver in the house is only out, not in, if it is a day of delicacies from the mountains and seas, abalone and ginseng wings, even if it is a big family business, it can't be carried, so it still has to be a long stream."

Mu Tianyue lightly hooked her thin lips, and the smile on her face became more and more intense, but those outsiders didn't eat him, it seems that Qian Qianqian guessed well, these people have a rich background, and there must be a lot of good things in the house.

"Boss Mu is too worried, if you Mu Mansion wants to be like this, then wouldn't we have to dismiss the slaves and eat white porridge and steamed buns every day?"

Boss Li said with a smile, everyone at the banquet was full of disbelief, and thought that Mu Tianyue was looking for something to do, and deliberately pretended to be pitiful like this.

"Bosses, if you think so, you are wrong, now many people in this city can not even afford to eat rice, I heard that this court still has to levy grain, the war will not end in a year and a half, the poor mountains and bad water out of the people, if those people outside are hungry, there must be someone to find another way out, you have also experienced the events of last night, if you come a few times, let alone the Mu family, everyone here may not even be able to keep their family background."

Qian Qianqian took a sip of rice wine, her eyes were full of indescribable ridicule, it seemed that she was talking drunk, but it was actually full of deep meaning.

The atmosphere in the Accord suddenly became solemn, those outsiders were all smart people, and they naturally could hear the meaning of Qian Qianqian's words. Even if they have a family, they will inevitably be affected by the war.

"We can hire more family members and hide all the food in a proper place so that thieves don't have a chance to take advantage of it."

Boss Li thought about it for a moment, but he still didn't believe in this evil, and he said it categorically.

"You are all people who have been in business for decades, and if the whole city becomes a thief, what is the use of you hiring a family? Besides, if there is one more person in the house, there will be one more mouth, and the more this food will be consumed, won't this outweigh the losses? ”

Qian Qianqian lowered her head and smiled, as if she was laughing at their innocence, these bosses could be her father at any age, and they were a little embarrassed by such a little girl, their faces were a little unbearable.

"Boss Qian's words are too exaggerated, when General Xiao was here, the city of Lianzhou has always been very peaceful, and no matter how it is, it will not fall to the point that the whole city is a thief."

Boss Li frowned and glanced at Qian Qianqian, with a little anger on his face.

"General Xiao said before leaving, this war will not subside for a while, you must have a good idea of how much grain you have taken up the grain shop before, and how much is left for these tens of thousands of people? If you can't even eat, who cares about public order and good customs? Many of the bosses have been starving and come from scratch, so I don't need to say more about the stakes. ”

Qian Qianqian did not show weakness at all, although these people looked at the surface scenery, there are very few people who really want to be born with a golden spoon like Mu Tianyue, and many people have still suffered hardships, so they naturally understand what suffering will bring?

"In that case, Boss Qian, Boss Mu, do you have a countermeasure?"

"yes, what do you say? If it makes sense, we will follow you. ”

The atmosphere in the house was lively again, and these merchants were moved by Qian Qianqian's words, after all, when the whole city was full of thieves, no one could be left alone.

"I have unanimously discussed with Boss Mu, instead of painstakingly hiding the rice grain, it is better to take out half of it and sell it to the people at a price that has not increased in price, and the money from the sale belongs to us, and when the war is over, let the people return the grain to us, so that we will not suffer."

Qian Qianqian spoke slowly, but everyone at this banquet had different expressions, in fact, to put it bluntly, it was to let these rich businessmen rent the grain in the house to those people to eat, and the people paid a certain rent, and when the situation was good, they would return all the grain.

It's just that in ancient times, there were renting fields and renting houses, but there was no such thing as renting grain, Qian Qianqian's idea is indeed bold and novel, but no one has ever tried it, and these businessmen are inevitably worried.

"This method is good, but if those people turn their faces and deny their accounts, and they can't let them vomit out what they eat in their stomachs, are we going to suffer dumb losses?"

Boss Li is the backbone of these businessmen, and what he puts forward is what these businessmen think, and Qian Qianqian knows that they will not be relieved of this, so he has been prepared.

"Don't worry, with General Xiao as a guarantee, those people will not break their promises, if your food does not come back in the end, you can go to the General's Mansion to find General Xiao to receive compensation, you know the general's character, and you will not deceive you."
