Hearing the explanation of the county magistrate, the subordinate suddenly realized: "I see, that's why the adults deliberately deducted the food and salary of those prisoners and saved money to buy food, right?" ”

The county magistrate nodded: "That's right, those errand soldiers, don't look at them all the way to each county station to ask for food, in fact, they carry more money than we imagined.

Those three groups of exiled prisoners were all high-ranking officials in the capital for a while, and they must have been wealthy before they were exiled, and these servants must have made a lot of oil and water, and they all made a lot of money, so we gave them a little less food, and we couldn't delay them from drinking and eating meat! ”

The subordinate immediately gave a thumbs up to the county commander: "Your Excellency is really smart!" I'm going to buy food now! ”

When Ying Bao heard the words of this county magistrate, she couldn't help but look at him with admiration.

The county magistrates I met along the way were all corrupt officials or dog officials, but I didn't expect to meet a good official with such foresight.

It's just that the county magistrate didn't know that those servants did loot the money of the three families of the exiled prisoners, but unfortunately all of this money was collected by her Yingbao into her own space.

Now these servants are not as rich and rich as the county magistrate said, but they are living a tight life.

Now he had withheld the money of the servants, who starved as much as they did the prisoners.

Of course, according to the urine nature of those servants, it is estimated that they are the prisoners who starve, and it is impossible for those servants to treat themselves badly.

Ying Bao didn't plan to scrape this county magistrate anymore, but left him a box of gold.

Since it is for the people to save food, it is natural to give him more silver to buy food.

This box of gold was still scraped from the county magistrate of the previous county, and the county magistrate was really greedy, and colluded with Huang Yuanwai, which can be described as very rich.

There are a few more large boxes in her space.

After the county commander finished ordering his subordinates, he turned around and was about to sit back, but he saw an extra box on the table out of thin air.

He sighed, "When did you get an extra box here?" ”

He glanced around, grabbed one of the servants, and asked, "Did you see anyone who put this box here?" ”

When the servant heard the words of the county magistrate, he paid attention to the table, and was even more surprised than the county magistrate: "Lord Hui, I didn't see anyone, why did a box suddenly pop up?" ”

Hearing the servant's words, the heart of the county commander couldn't help but sink.

"Open the box!" He commanded the servants.

The servant couldn't help but be a little nervous when he saw the county order's serious expression.

He cautiously reached for the box, opening it little by little.

Look inside as you open.

When he found that the contents were shiny gold ingots, he opened all the boxes at once, and said to the county magistrate with surprise and joy: "My lord, this, this is gold!" ”

When the county magistrate saw the box of gold, he was shocked, and hurriedly went over, took out the sperm one by one to check it, and took another bite.

Sure that all the gold was real, the county magistrate couldn't help but tremble with excitement: "Really, it's all real!" ”

At this time, he saw a note under the gold, and wrote two words: Buy grain.

The prefectural magistrate immediately ran to the door, wanting to see if he could find any trace of the person who had delivered the gold.

However, after turning around, there was no trace to follow, so I had to bow in all directions at the door, and my hands were grateful: "I don't know where it is sacred, this official is here to thank you!" This gold will live up to your trust! ”

When the servant saw so much gold, he couldn't help but think, and said to the county magistrate: "My lord, with so much gold, it shouldn't take much to buy food, anyway, that person won't come to check where your gold is, so we might as well keep half of the gold and repair the mansion of our county magistrate......

"Diao Nu!"

When the county magistrate heard the servant's words, he immediately shouted angrily: "Didn't you see the person who donated the gold leave a message saying that he was buying grain?" How dare you instigate your official to swallow half of this silver? ”

The servant hurriedly knelt on the ground, fearing the begging of the war army for mercy: "My lord, spare your life, I am just sorry for you, you take all the money in the house to store grain, if there is a famine, the people will have the grain you prepared for disaster relief, but isn't it you who has a hard time?"

Now that someone has given you so much gold and grain, what's wrong with you keeping half of it? Even if you don't keep half of it, that's going to cost you ......"

Before the servant finished speaking, the county magistrate raised his hand and waved: "Needless to say, since this box of silver is used to buy grain, it can only be spent on the purpose of buying grain!" ”

Then he instructed his servant: "Arrange for you to build a few more granaries, and fill all the granaries with grain, so that they are ready for future famines." ”

The servant hesitated, and tried to say something, but at last he did not speak, made a gesture, and turned away.

The prefectural magistrate also closed the box of gold again and carefully hid it.

When Ying Bao saw this, she couldn't help but smile.

It seems that her gold was not given away in vain, and the county magistrate is quite upright and a good official.

She returned to her physical body, pretended to be awake, and crawled down from her father's body.

They were dragged out of the county office, and when they were about to leave the city gate, they passed by the rice market and saw the deputy leader returning with a few people to buy rice.

They bought rice, but they were talking about it along the way.

It turned out that when they were just buying rice, they heard the talk of those rice sellers, and the county magistrate was going to come and buy all their rice again, and they planned to discuss the price increase together before the official messenger who bought the rice arrived.

The deputy leader said happily: "Fortunately, we went early, if we go late, I am afraid that these rice will be bought out by the county magistrate, or these rice dealers will sit on the ground and raise the price, and we will not spend enough silver here." ”

The other servants smiled with relief: "He deserves to be pit by his people, he deducted our food, and his people set a price for him, and he was the one who was unlucky in the end!" ”

"That's right, yes, you really deserve it!" All the servants echoed the heckling and thought so.

The other exiled prisoners also felt that the county magistrate deserved it.

Yingbao's heart sank.

This county commander even took out his own private money to buy food for these people, but these people actually cheated on their parents and officials, which is really hateful.

She took her mother's hand and let her divine sense directly enter the space and come to the rice market.

Sure enough, I saw that the vendors were replacing the signs with the prices.

The rice that was originally two cents a pound was replaced by four cents.

Twice as much!

Some traders who are unwilling to do this lack of virtue are besieged by those who sit on the ground and ask for a price, and they can only reluctantly change the price.

When they were ready for all this, the people sent by the prefectural commander also happened to arrive.

Seeing that the market price of the rice market was all the same, I could only grit my teeth and buy it.

After they cleared their money and goods, Ying Bao was no longer polite, and planned to collect all the silver earned by these merchants who sat on the ground and asked for money.

But after thinking about it for a while, it didn't make much sense to take the silver taels from these vendors, since they had received double the money, they should have given double the grain.

Let them pay for their insincerity, at least a few dozen catties more.

Thinking of doing it, Ying Bao immediately went to the houses of the rice traders who were the most happy, stored grain in their warehouses, and scavenged all the money they received into the space, plus dozens of catties of compensation.

Those vendors didn't know that their family's grain depot had been swept away by Yingbao, and they were still complacent that they had earned double the ill-gotten gains from the county magistrate.
