Ancient Drought: The Official Sacrificed Beauties, I Took Them All In

Jiang Tian transmigrated to the Great Xia Dynasty and was immediately met with a drought that had lasted for many years. The county magistrate, in order to pray for rain from the Dragon King, prepa...

Chapter 26 Tonight, I'll give them some sleeping potion.

Along the way, Jiang Tian drove the carriage from the west of the city straight to the east.

People in the city are the same as people in the countryside.

Everyone believes in the auspicious arrival of purple clouds from the east.

The people living in the east of the city are all wealthy.

The western part of the city was inhabited by impoverished people.

"Take a look, examine the finest white flour."

"Selling rice, selling rice, top-quality rice, one tael of silver per pound, you won't lose out, you won't be cheated."

"Beef and mutton, beef and mutton. Freshly slaughtered beef and mutton, two taels of silver per catty."

To Jiang Tian's surprise, business was much better than he had imagined.

In less than half an hour, all 2,000 kilograms of rice, flour, beef, and mutton were sold out.

Jiang Tian sold a total of three thousand taels of silver.

In this day and age, money is so easy to make.

Those who managed to buy rice, flour, beef, and mutton were incredibly excited.

Those who couldn't buy rice, flour, beef, or mutton felt a deep sense of loss.

"Don't worry, I'll be back in the same place selling them tomorrow."

All you need to do is prepare the money. Tomorrow it will still be 1000 jin of flour, 1000 jin of rice, and 500 jin of beef and mutton.

Those who hadn't been able to buy rice, flour, beef, or mutton clung to Jiang Tian's hands, unwilling to let go: "You young man, you can't go back on your word."

You absolutely must come tomorrow.

In Jiang Tian's system space, rice, flour, and all livestock are harvested once a day.

Selling grain here is perfectly feasible.

Once we've saved up enough money, we'll head to the provincial capital.

The people in the county town are much better off than those in Peach Blossom Village, and their numbers are also much greater.

Of the more than 1,000 people in Peach Blossom Village, Dian Wei selected only 50.

There are quite a few people in the city, and Jiang Tian estimates that at least 1,000 people meet the criteria.

If he were to bring all 1,000-plus men under his control and build an elite armored cavalry force of over a thousand, the surrounding counties would be no match for him.

"Qianyu," Jiang Tian said, driving the carriage straight to the best inn in the city. "Let's find an inn to make do with for now."

"Whatever my benefactor says, I will obey." Nangong Qianyu is very happy now. She is more comfortable with Jiang Tian than she is at home in the capital.

"There's an inn here." Jiang Tian stopped the carriage in front of the inn.

The waiter quickly ran out from inside.

"Sir, are you here for a meal or to stay the night?"

"Come, everyone, give me a top-notch room."

The waiter knew immediately that a big business had come in: "Don't worry, sir, I'll definitely arrange the best room for you."

The waiter led Jiang Tian and Nangong Qianyu into the inn.

"Sir, please come upstairs."

The waiter led Jiang Tian and his companion to the best room on the third floor.

The inn is quite large, but there are very few guests staying there.

"Sir, this is the best room in our inn. The room costs five qian of silver per day, and meals are extra."

If you need to feed your livestock, we provide them with the best fodder.

The daily fee is two qian of silver.

The inn's prices are reasonable.

Jiang Tiantian took out a five-tael silver ingot and threw it to the waiter: "Go buy me two sets of clothes for the young lady, and the rest of the money is yours as a reward."

"By the way, bring out the best wine and food."

The waiter nodded excitedly when he saw the five-tael silver ingot.

"Sir, please wait a moment. I'll go buy you some clothes right away."

The waiter left the room, gently closed the door, and hummed a little tune as he headed downstairs.

Jiang Tian walked to the window and opened it.

This city is just different.

It's much better than Taohua Village in Longxiang Township.

"Qianyu, let's stay here for ten days or so, earn some money first, and then we'll talk about it when we get back." Jiang Tian waved to Nangong Qianyu, and the girl quickly walked up to him.

Jiang Tian stood at the window, his arm around the girl's slender waist. He rested his chin on Nangong Qianyu's shoulder, inhaling the unique fragrance emanating from her.

Although the little girl was still wearing tattered clothes, it did not diminish her charming beauty in the slightest.

There are many luxury mansions and courtyards in the eastern part of the city.

“Qianyu,” Jiang Tian pointed to the grand mansions in the east of the city, “I’m going to buy a house tomorrow, and you can live there.”

"This... where are you, my benefactor?"

"Of course I live there too. But I have to go back to Peach Blossom Village in a few days." Jiang Tian didn't know how Dian Wei's matter was going.

In a short period of time, we must rely on the system to quickly expand the size of the army.

Only in this way can Jiang Tian feel at ease.

The young girl, Nangong Qianyu, leaned gently against Jiang Tian's chest.

...

The waiter had just reached the first floor when the shopkeeper called him back.

"Who are those two people upstairs?"

"I don't know the shopkeeper either. He's just an ordinary person working at the shop."

“He doesn’t seem like an ordinary person.” The shopkeeper shook his head. “I’ve seen this carriage before; it belongs to Gao Jun’s family in Peach Blossom Village.”

"Innkeeper, what's the difference between carriages in this world? As long as someone comes to stay and pays, we don't care whose carriage it is."

“I’ve met this person before. He’s Jiang Tian from the west end of Peach Blossom Village. His family has always been at odds with Gao Jun’s family. How could he possibly be driving Gao Jun’s carriage?”

The shopkeeper's eyes darted around for a moment: "What did he ask you to do for him?"
