Chapter 519: Relaxation is moderate
On the one hand, cloth tents and porridge sheds were set up to give the refugees who had been displaced here a safe place, and on the other hand, the security in the city was strengthened to prevent the refugees from embarrassing the original people in the city for a bite to eat.
This Xu prefect does things, and he is quite relaxed.
It can also be seen that he does not have the problem of a corpse vegetarian meal. He has, and he is serious about helping the people of Pingxing who are in trouble.
This performance is not different from his careful analysis of the situation in the report to Yan Chujing.
Then the question arises, why did such an official who was serious and organized, and really managed Pingcheng very well, hide the part of the water bandits when reporting the specific situation?
The more he learned about Xu Ruxuan's actions, the more interested Chi Xinian became in the mystery of the prefect.
However, the shopkeeper is not her own person after all, so it is inconvenient for her to ask more.
After learning a little about the situation of Governor Xu's Mansion and the current situation in Pingcheng, Chi Xinian changed the topic and said: "This time I came to Pingcheng, I didn't bring too much food, and a few ordinary show items are not what I love.
"In this way, you take this money, help me exchange it for some food, and then exchange it with someone for some fine products.
"Remember, it's not a good thing, I don't want it."
When the words fell, Chi Xinian directly put a piece of silver on the table.
The dull sound came out, and it didn't recall the second child's mind at the first time.
Shocked for a while, he stammered, "Silver, silver...!" It's still such a big piece! How many buckets of rice do you have to exchange! ”
Even if the price of rice has soared outrageously today, the amount of rice that can be exchanged for a single ingot of silver is still not a small amount. Besides, silver is not very common in the market, ordinary bosses trade with copper coins, and only some nobles or big traders can get silver...
The girl in front of her and the people who followed her looked full of anger and were not easy to get along with, so they should not be nobles.
So... They are the rich prodigal sons who walk the rivers and lakes.
While pondering the origin of Chi Xinian, the shopkeeper hurriedly put away the silver, in case the big man regretted it and no longer did this business with him.
Of course, he didn't forget to assure people: "Girl, don't worry, the small ones will definitely help you choose, they are not high-quality products, and they will never be presented to you." ”
"Hmm." Chi Xinian didn't care if the shopkeeper could help him pick out the best products.
She took the silver out, just to take the opportunity to take advantage of the existing line of interests to see if there was anything she was looking for behind it.
Now, after her and Yan Chujing's speculation, it can be determined that someone is behind the bandits. It's just that they don't know what each other's purpose is.
Fang Caidian Xiaoer said that many merchants from the north came to make profits...
Will the benefits of the rising food prices be the purpose of the manipulators behind them?
Chi Xinian thought like this, and asked the shopkeeper again: "You don't have to worry about finding things, I still have to stay for a few days in this Pingcheng."
"It's just... I just heard from you that there are not many merchants in this Ping City, and the relief food of the imperial court is about to arrive. Can your channel really be exchanged for good goods? ”
"Girl, don't worry!" Seeing that his big customer was still suspicious, the shopkeeper hurriedly assured, "Although the relief food of the imperial court can be used to save emergencies, the quantity is also limited, isn't it?"
"At most, that is, one bowl of porridge a day, so that people do not starve to death.
"If you really want to eat two more bites, you have to find a way to change the rice.
"Besides..."
