Age of Rebirth: Farming with Material Space to Get Rich

Chapter 506 The Lonely Sister and Widowed Brother of the Ancient Orion Family 27
After the meal, Rong Yan, who was about to leave the table and go upstairs, saw the shopkeeper approaching, and asked casually, "Shopkeeper, it seems that there are so few people here!"

Seeing this, Qin Ye stopped walking in a hurry.

When the shopkeeper heard this, he sighed deeply.

"Hey, don't mention it, it's all that damned locust plague! The season that should have been harvesting grain... was eaten up by that damned thing, and there were victims everywhere... Plus there was a war outside the customs, really The people are in dire straits, and the common people are almost dying..."

Rong Yan and Qin Ye frowned at the same time.

In fact, when Rong Yan was in the town before, she also briefly got to know the shopkeeper Hao, and knew about the locust plague.

When they were on the mountain before, it was really not affected, because they were in the deep mountains, coupled with the geographical environment of this county, most villages and towns were not affected by the locust plague.

In other words, the locust bypassed the county.

The disaster situation outside was serious, and almost all the food in the fields that had not been harvested in time was eaten up.

Not only food, but everything green...has also been eaten by locusts.

This made the poor villagers even worse, and directly became victims of the disaster.

Therefore, the disaster victims in those towns actually came from outside.

Because there were too many victims, knowing that the disaster in this county was not very serious, those victims fled to this town along the green.

"Then why is your restaurant still open?" Qin Ye asked abruptly.

If there are too many victims, there will be a lot of burning, looting and looting. If the restaurant is still open under such circumstances, it must be said that it is quite courageous.

Hearing this, the shopkeeper immediately said: "It's the magistrate of our yamen who is the most powerful in talking about this matter. He also collected a large amount of grain from some rich families early on, and he will help each day. In order to maintain order, that kind of burning, looting and looting did not happen."

Having said that, he sighed again, "Even if this is the case, it will be difficult to do business now. If we last for a while, we may have to close down."

Who would come out to eat in this situation?The rich are all staying at home, and the doors of those wealthy households are locked, fearing that the disaster victims will break into their homes.

He was also afraid of being robbed.

Fortunately, the officers patrol several times a day.

In addition, the county lord appeased those shops that were doing business and let the shops open normally first, which gave him confidence.

Otherwise, who would dare?

Qin Ye's eyes darkened.

He winked in Huo Dao's direction.

After Huo Dao accepted it, he left quietly...

Rong Yan didn't ask any more questions, but just said: "Please prepare some food for the road, shopkeeper, we will take it away tomorrow morning."

As soon as she said this, Qin Ye immediately said: "Tomorrow, we will pay the bill together."

Of course, there is no problem with this request, and the shopkeeper responded happily, "Don't worry, my lord, I will send someone to prepare it immediately."

This can make a fortune at any rate.

He hurriedly turned around and left.

Rong Yan didn't say anything about helping those victims this time, because there are yamen here to make arrangements.

As before... She saw that those victims were really pitiful.

At this moment, because of the darkness, she did not see the victims.

However, she still has a good impression of the county master.

There are very few officials who serve the people like this these days.

"I'm going back to my room." Rong Yan stood up and prepared to go upstairs.

Qin Ye immediately said: "We also go back to the room."
