In the first few days of coming to Jinrong City, Qin Miaomiao lived a comfortable and comfortable life, and she wanted to settle here for a long time. Every day, there is no business, no account book, lying in a warm room, covered with a soft brocade quilt, sleeping until you wake up naturally, and after washing, there is a fragrant breakfast in front of you. Qin Miaomiao was very satisfied, if Su Mu was tossing her every night, this life would be even more perfect.

The saying that the good times don't last long is not nonsense, just when Qin Miaomiao was comfortably preparing for the New Year, Su Mu arranged a task for her.

Today is already twenty-six, and there are four days to go is Chinese New Year's Eve, every household in Jinrong City is full of joy, all preparing to welcome the new year, but Su Mu, who is out of the house, suddenly returned home, he has always been out of the house in the morning during this time, and usually comes back in the evening, every day on time, Qin Miaomiao thought that he had found a job outside.

Qin Miaomiao was eating melon seeds, reading medical books, reading with relish, Su Mu pushed the door in, and the cold air brought in by his body made Qin Miaomiao tremble.

Looking up at Su Mu standing in front of him, Qin Miaomiao picked off the grass clippings sticky to his hair for him: "Xianggong, are you out of the city?" ”

Su Mu took her hand and kissed her lightly on the side of his mouth: "Well, out of the city, do something." ”

Qin Miaomiao looked up and down for a while, and Su Mu felt that he had something to say, so he asked, "Xianggong, do you have something to say to me?" ”

Su Mu raised his hand and gently pinched her cheek, sat sideways on the soft couch beside her, looked at her and said with a smile: "There is an opportunity to become famous in the world, I don't know if Miao Miao is interested?" ”

Famous? Is he trying to make his debut? Ready to pack yourself?

"What chance?" Qin Miaomiao is just curious, she doesn't want to be famous, as the saying goes, are people afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong? It's not good to be too public.

"Jinrong City is in drought this year, and the crops are not harvested, can Miao Miao know about this?" Qin Miaomiao shook her head, she really didn't know about this matter, to be honest, she had only heard of the name Jinrong City after leaving Lingnan City, so she naturally didn't know the situation here.

"Then when we came, we didn't see the people in the city being affected, didn't everyone happily prepare for the New Year?" Qin Miaomiao deliberately recalled that the shops in the city were doing very well, and there were no refugees and beggars.

Su Mu shook his head and explained to her: "Most of the residents in this Jinrong City are merchants and vendors, and there are some wealthy families with rich families, and this year's drought has no impact on them at all, so if you are in the city, you naturally can't see the suffering of the people." ”

Qin Miaomiao nodded in agreement, but it was so, the drought in Hedong Village the year before last was not to be lost, at that time, several sisters had to go to the field to pick up dried vegetable leaves to eat, and the harvest was already out of harvest here, and the situation would be more serious, I am afraid that the people would be struggling.

But Qin Miaomiao doesn't know what this has to do with herself, she wants to make a name for herself with this hype? Su Mu is not such a person who is inconsiderate of the suffering of the people.

"Normally, in this case, doesn't the imperial court open a warehouse to release grain for disaster relief? Didn't the government here report it? Qin Miaomiao felt that the imperial court should not fail to do anything about this matter.

"It's one thing for the magistrate to report, but it's another thing for the first batch to approve or not, and today's approval from the imperial court has just arrived in Jinrong City, saying that the treasury is empty, and let the magistrate find a way to collect grain for disaster relief." Su Mu was also full of helplessness at this time.

"Just kidding? The treasury can't get food, so how can a stricken city get food? Qin Miaomiao felt that it was difficult to be angry, and the superiors did not sympathize with the suffering of the people, and should be regarded as mediocre. But she didn't dare to scold, who knows if the emperor will be Su Mu's third uncle, second uncle and fourth uncle.

"So I want Miao Miao to go to the prefect of Jinrong City and say that you are willing to do something for disaster relief." Su Mu directly explained his thoughts to Qin Miaomiao.

Qin Miaomiao was silent, secretly thinking to herself, she did have a large amount of grain in her hand, which was obtained by confiscating Ge Jun's three grain shops, plus Su Mu's original grain shop, there could also be about 10,000 stones.

"Anyone can do the icing on the cake, but the prefect of Jinrong City who sends carbon in the snow will remember you a big favor, and this Jinrong City is the county government, and the surrounding county governments are under his jurisdiction, even Lingnan City is also within his jurisdiction, his rights are not small, and it is rare for him to owe you a big favor." Su Mu's words reminded Qin Miaomiao that if the prefect of Jinrong City could not collect the food for disaster relief, it would be forcibly collected, and Lingnan City was under his jurisdiction, and she would still have to take out this grain at that time, and she would have to take it sooner or later, so it was better to take the initiative now.

"I'll go to the prefect now. Without further ado, it may be possible to bring grain to Jinrong City before Chinese New Year's Eve. Qin Miaomiao is not reluctant, although taking out this 10,000 stone grain is not a small amount, but it is not a big deal for Su Mu and her, and it can save so many refugees outside the city, it is a good thing to accumulate virtue and do good.

The prefect of Jinrong City, He Zhicheng, was sighing anxiously in the government at this time, and the document he received this morning thought it would be the food details for disaster relief, but it turned out to be that he was asked to figure out his own way, and the document also said that if the disaster relief was unfavorable and caused a riot among the refugees, he would be dismissed from his post and assigned.

The dismissal is small, doesn't this hair match want his life?

Distraught began to pace back and forth, he was honest all his life, and he lived with a fortune every month, so that he could take what to collect grain for disaster relief, didn't this force him to a dead end? Just when he was restless, the guards in the palace hurriedly came to report: "My lord, there is a woman outside the door who wants to meet your lordship, saying that she has something important to discuss." ”

He Zhicheng waved his hand at the guards in annoyance: "I don't see." ”

The guard did not leave immediately, hesitated for a moment and then spoke: "My lord, the woman said that she has a way to solve the needs of the adults. ”

He Zhicheng stopped and asked suspiciously, "What kind of woman is it?" ”

"Eighteen or nineteen years old, looking at the clothes, she is a daughter of a rich family." The guard answered truthfully.

"Let her wait for me in the antechamber, and I'll go later." He Zhicheng calmed the anxiety in his heart and walked towards the front hall.

Qin Miaomiao sat on a chair in the front hall, although the guards served tea for herself, but she didn't move, she sat quietly on the chair, waiting for He Zhicheng.

But after half a moment's effort, He Zhicheng had already come to the door, he didn't enter the door, he first looked at Qin Miaomiao outside the door, dressed in a brocade dress, although not as ostentatious, but it could be seen that she was indeed not an ordinary woman's daughter, sitting on a chair generous and natural, not as timid as ordinary women, it seems that she often goes out of the house to do things.

Qin Miaomiao felt that someone was looking at her, and she didn't have to guess to know that it was the prefect He Zhicheng who had arrived, so she looked back, stood up and gave a blessing: "The people have seen the prefect." ”

He Zhicheng stepped into the house and asked straight to the point, "I don't know if the girl has anything to discuss with me?" He is anxious now, his net worth and life are tied to this disaster relief, he has no time to talk nonsense, even if he is a young and beautiful girl, he has no heart to say more.

Qin Miaomiao raised her eyebrows, secretly admiring Su Mu in her heart, and he really guessed correctly that the prefect was indeed in a hurry: "I am a merchant in this city, and I heard this morning that the prefect wants to collect grain for disaster relief, so I want to do some modest help." Qin Miaomiao said modestly.

He Zhicheng raised his eyes and glanced at her, although he was grateful in his heart, but he also knew that even if a little girl did her best, it would be a drop in the bucket, but he was still deeply pleased: "So I really want to thank the girl, but I don't know which shop in the city the girl is, can you tell me?" ”

Qin Miaomiao smiled euphemistically: "I run a pharmacy in the city, a small business, but I have to bother the adults to send some people to pick it up with my people, the New Year is approaching, and the shop really can't guide people." ”

He Zhicheng readily agreed: "I don't know where the girl's food is now?" I'll send someone to fetch it later. "Naturally, the food collection is as fast as possible, and if we wait for one more day, many refugees will starve to death.

Qin Miaomiao seemed to be embarrassed, lowered her head and estimated for a while, before she spoke: "The grain is all in Lingnan City, and 10,000 stone of grain has to be transported by dozens of carriages. ”

Listening to Qin Miaomiao's words, He Zhicheng couldn't hide his surprise: "Did the girl say that it was 10,000 stone of grain?" Although he knew that he was a little out of shape, he still confirmed that he had heard it wrong.

"Yes, because of the large amount of food, I think it will be safer to have an adult's official escort." As soon as Qin Miaomiao's words fell, he bowed to Qin Miaomiao: "The girl is righteous, save the people from fire and water, I thank the girl for the people of Jinrong City." ”

He Zhicheng originally thought that Qin Miaomiao took out a thousand catties of food to be considered generous, but when she opened her mouth, it was 10,000 stones, which was not a small amount, and she could give up such a large sum of money in exchange for nearly tens of thousands of taels of money, and this girl was only one person who searched Jinrong City.

Men and women are not kissed, Qin Miaomiao is inconvenient to go to Fuhe City, so she can only take a side slide to dodge: "My lord's words are serious, my business in the past few years has been taken care of by the people, so I have saved some silver, and now the people of Jinrong City are in trouble, I should contribute." ”

Qin Miaomiao and He Zhicheng discussed the time for the convoy to leave, and they would leave for Lingnan City early tomorrow morning, and Qin Miaomiao had already asked the war eagle to rush to Lingnan City with the letter before coming to the palace, and the food in the city could be assembled before the convoy arrived. If all goes well, the convoy carrying grain on Chinese New Year's Eve can rush back to distribute relief food to the victims outside Jinrong City.

Although Qin Miaomiao's 10,000 stone grain was not enough to solve all the problems, it could be regarded as solving the urgent need of He Zhicheng, and then he continued to raise grain to maintain until spring planting, grass and trees sprouted, and this drought was over.
