Imperial County Magistrate

Chapter 371 The Minister of Disaster Relief Arrives

This can't be done!
Although I always feel miserable when I look in the mirror, I am more handsome than Song Yu and Pan An.

But really speaking, it is only hundreds of times better than ordinary people!
How could this beauty fall in love with me?
Looking at the clothes in Wu Xinyi's hands, Zhao Kang was not only afraid but also a little excited.

This is the first time that a woman has given her clothes, and she made them herself!
"Zhao, Mr. Zhao, don't you like it?"

Zhao Kang was still in his reverie, and Wu Xinyi spoke cautiously.

"No, no!"

Zhao Kang said subconsciously.

Wu Xinyi: "Then, why don't you try it?"

"Ah...this is not good."

It is always difficult for a man to reject the goodness of a woman, especially the beauty of a beautiful woman.

Zhao Kang was caught in a struggle at this moment, and suddenly three faces flashed in his mind.

In an instant, his heart immediately calmed down. Yufeng would definitely not say anything. Hongxue was far away in Jingguo, and she couldn't defeat him now.

But if Her Majesty the Empress knew that she was wearing clothes made by a woman, she might beat herself up!

Immediately, Zhao Kang, who activated the emergency evacuation, shook his head and refused: "I appreciate the kindness of the owner of the family, but this is absolutely impossible. I am a family man, and I will only wear my wife's clothes for me in this life. clothes."

"My wife is very beautiful and virtuous. I can't be sorry to her!"

Luo Li said something rudely, and Zhao Kang sighed. He didn't expect that his brother would break the heart of another woman by going out.

What a sin.

He looked at Wu Xinyi and was stunned, eh?Why didn't this guy shed tears?Instead, he looked dumbfounded?

"Mr. Zhao, what are you talking about!" Wu Xinyi laughed so hard.

Zhao Kang was confused when he heard this: "Don't you like me?"

"what are you thinking!"

Wu Xinyi didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I saw that you and Tiedan only had two or three sets of clothes, so I asked someone to get fabric and make one for each of you. The clothes Qingluan and Longli wear on weekdays are also made by me. "

"I don't like anything made by outside tailor shops!"

"I see, it's me who believes in it." Zhao Kang was so embarrassed that he just wanted to find a place to get in.

Wu Xinyi smiled half-heartedly: "Pu Xin?"

"Just ordinary and confident." Zhao Kang sneered.

Wu Xinyi: "Mr. Zhao is not ordinary, come and try it."

"If that's the case, then I would be disrespectful."

Grabbing the clothes and gesturing for a moment, Zhao Kang nodded with satisfaction: "Don't tell me it looks like a good fit."

"Neither black nor white suits you well, Mr. Zhao, so I pulled off a piece of navy blue fabric. I hope Mr. Zhao will like it." Wu Xinyi smiled.

Zhao Kang folded the clothes: "Thank you very much, head of the family. I'll go outside to see if there are any grain merchants from other places during this period. It's been almost a month, and there's been no movement from those guys."

"Okay." Wu Xinyi nodded.

After Zhao Kang left, she also stood up and returned to the room, picking up a handful of water with both hands.

The water lines gradually calmed down, reflecting a beautiful face. Suddenly, the water lines rippled again, and they could no longer be peaceful.

After wandering around the city, Zhao Kang was a little disappointed and did not find out any news about grain merchants from other places.

The same people are selling grain in Qingzhou City. At the same time, these people also transport the grain to other places, and the prices are higher than the previous ones.If it hadn't been for the Wu family transporting a large amount of grain to other places during this period.

I'm afraid the number of victims has already spread.

When we arrived at the porridge shed, His Royal Highness was maintaining order in the queue and asking people to line up properly.

When Wu Longli saw Zhao Kang coming, he rushed over: "Mr. Zhao."

"Is everything okay?" Zhao Kang asked.

Wu Longli nodded: "There is nothing wrong. The victims are also very cooperative. It's just Mr. Zhao."

Seeing Wu Longli hesitate to speak, Zhao Kang smiled and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it."

After hearing Wu Longli, he nodded and said: "Then let me tell you straight, our Wu family is about to run out of food. Yesterday we counted the existing stocks in the granaries of our Wu family, and it was less than [-] dan."

"This is really troublesome." Zhao Kang couldn't help but frown after hearing this.

One stone is sixty kilograms, and twenty thousand stones is a full 120 million kilograms. It sounds like a lot, but don't forget that the Wu family now supports millions of people in Qingzhou.

Even if not all of these people are disaster victims, only one tenth of them are.

Twenty thousand shi of grain is not enough for half a month, and the Wu family has been supporting themselves for ten days since the grain was released.

This shows that the four major grain merchants in Qingzhou are really not just bragging.

If the four companies join forces and call on some small grain merchants to follow, they can survive this grain shortage.

But unfortunately not everyone is from the Wu family.

"How long do you think you can last?" Zhao Kang asked.

Wu Longli: "Ten days! According to the current rate of food distribution, our Wu family will have to buy food for ten days at most."

Zhao Kang was thinking deeply. At this moment, countless officers and soldiers suddenly appeared at the south city gate.

Mr. Zhou, the magistrate of Qingzhou County, and his people hurried to the city gate, as if they were going to greet some important person.

Such a battle immediately attracted Zhao Kang's attention. It was no small matter to make that fat pig so grand.

Could it be!
Zhao Kang's eyelids twitched, and the victims who were originally receiving porridge were driven to the corner and huddled in the corner.

Suddenly, a tall horse poked out from the city gate, and a man wearing a third-grade court dress rode in.

Fatty Zhou immediately knelt down on his knees and said, "I respectfully welcome you, Minister of Disaster Relief!"

All the officials knelt down together, and many victims were so frightened that they knelt down. Wu Longli quickly led others to kneel down to greet them.

In an instant, everyone knelt down, and only two people stood out, Zhao Kang and Xiao Xuance.

Seeing that the two of them were still standing stupidly, Mr. Zhou immediately jumped up and down in anger: "How outrageous, you two haven't knelt down to greet me!"

Xiao Xuance smiled: "I kneel down to him? Can he bear it?"

Fatty Zhou was still about to say something when he saw the disaster relief minister, who was wearing a third-grade court uniform, dismounted from his horse and rushed towards Zhao Kang and the two at a sprint speed of [-] meters.

Eight steps away from Zhao Kang, Qi Yunshan, the newly appointed left minister of household affairs, knelt down with his head pressed against the ground.

"I'm going to Qi Yunshan to visit the country..."

"Cough cough cough!" Zhao Kang coughed quickly, and Qi Yunshan forcefully swallowed the prince behind him.

Everyone was dumbfounded, Master Zhou even broke out in cold sweat, Wu Longli took a breath and looked at Zhao Kang cautiously.

Although he had known for a long time that Zhao Kang's identity was not simple. He was a disaster relief minister from the imperial court, but he never expected that he could actually make a third-rank minister kneel down and salute.

Is it possible that Mr. Zhao is a second-grade official?Which one of the six ministerial books?
But it can’t be done!Which one of the six ministers is not an old man who is half buried in the loess at the age of 60 or [-]?
