"Lord Li, are we just idle, not to save the people who have been affected by the disaster?"

In the backyard of Hepu County, Zhu Biao asked Li Jin with an anxious face:

"Those people are about to starve to death, if this continues, the emperor will pick our skin!"

Li Jin looked indifferent and said:

"What are you anxious about?"

"Don't you see that I'm ready to open a warehouse to release grain?"

"There's not enough food for these people."

Zhu Biao didn't agree with what Li Jin said at all, and questioned loudly:

"The people are already in such a difficult situation, you still have to invite the merchants in the city tonight to eat, drink and have fun with them."

"Lord Li, if this matter is known to the emperor, we will all be unable to eat and leave."

Just a few days ago, Li Jinjiu occupied the magpie's nest and wiped out the bandit gang that was originally entrenched in the county government.

Then Li Jin began to live in the county government, and he had a great intention of taking Hepu as the capital of Qinzhou, as if he did not plan to leave again.

It's just that the most serious disaster in Hepu County is the flood disaster, and the victims brought by the disaster are all over Hepu County, making the originally quiet county town like hell on earth.

Everywhere there were people who were dying of hunger, and litters of people who lived by begging.

Zhu Biaoben thought that Li Jin would have a good way to solve this matter, but three days passed, and Li Jin did nothing, only caring about his own pleasure in the mansion.

even felt that it was boring for him to have fun alone, so he actually invited the rich businessmen in the city to go to the Qinglou to have fun tonight.

This move simply made Zhu Biao angry enough, and he immediately came to Li Jin to discuss countermeasures.

However, Li Jin had his own ideas, and did not respond to Zhu Biao's question, but sent Zhu Biao to help the victims first.

And he himself began to set off for the Qinglou.

...

Yihong Courtyard, the most popular green building in Hepu County, is naturally not low.

As the prefect, Li Jin invited several wealthy businessmen in the county to eat and have fun, so naturally it was impossible for Li Jin to pay for it.

However, this money is insignificant to these merchants, and they are even very willing to enter and exit this silver for Li.

This is called the sophistication of human feelings, after all, there is a gift to gain, and there is a future.

People come and go, and harmony makes money, this is the wisdom of Ming merchants.

When Li Jin walked into Yihong Courtyard, several businessmen invited and all of them arrived, and also set the best private room, just waiting for Li Jin's arrival.

Seeing that others had already arranged it, Li Jin was not polite, and walked directly to the third floor generously and came to the private room.

After Li Jin sat down, several people introduced each other and exchanged a few words, and they began to get acquainted, and then they staggered, and the atmosphere on the field continued to be warm.

Several people are veterans in the business field, and they are naturally sycophants to Li Jin, and Li Jin is so uncomfortable to shoot.

Full of wine and food, Li Jin put down his chopsticks and coughed lightly.

Everyone knows that the main event is finally coming.

After all, everyone knows that the new official has three fires when he takes office, and it is impossible for Li Jin to invite everyone to dinner for no reason, there must be something to discuss.

And what it is, several people have guesses in their hearts, and they have just discussed this matter together, which is nothing more than borrowing food to help the victims.

Although several of them are rich businessmen, or even big landlords, they still say that the landlord's family has no surplus food.

However, Li Jin is also a prefect no matter what he says, so he has to give Li Jin some face.

Everyone discussed and decided in private, if Li Jin really opened his mouth, then each person would sell Li Jin a face, and each family would donate fifty stone of grain, which would be three hundred stone together.

It's not less, at least it's enough for Li Jin to go to the top for ten days and half a month, and if it is more, it will definitely be gone.

Everyone looked at Li Jin one after another, and when Li Jin opened his mouth to ask for food, several people agreed in unison, and then no one donated fifty stones.

But next, what Li Jin said surprised everyone.

No one expected that the first fire of the new official would actually burn on the heads of these people.
