Su Yunhai shouted until his throat was smoking.
People passing by just watched from a distance and did not dare to approach.
Shen Shuli waited for a long time but no customers came, and she became anxious. When she went out, she saw that people were just watching from afar.
The look on his face was that of someone wanting to get closer but not daring to, and he was so anxious that he was turning around in place.
She understood immediately and approached to talk to the people.
"Everyone, don't worry. The county magistrate has given full authority to the two of us to take charge of this matter. No one from the county government will interfere."
"You can rest assured to trade with us. We don't have much time to stay here, so don't miss it!"
Shen Shuli explained it several times before the people dared to come forward and try to approach the county government office.
Only when he found that there were no soldiers guarding the gate of the county government did he completely believe what Shen Shuli said.
Seeing that someone actually exchanged jade for a lot of food, other people came over and lined up.
...
...
Finally getting on track, both father and daughter breathed a sigh of relief.
The two of them had just been busy for two hours.
Suddenly a group of soldiers returned to the county government office.
They didn't know what had happened in the county government office, and there was actually a group of people gathered there.
Su Yunhai and Shen Shuli were not panicked at all. They had already discussed how to deal with the matter.
"The officials are back. Come on, come on, sit down and take a rest."
These officers and soldiers were pulled into the shade at the entrance of the county government office with a puzzled look on their faces and asked to sit and drink tea.
"Who are you two and what are you doing here?" an officer couldn't help asking.
"Hehe, sir, this is the case. My father and I are here to work for the county magistrate. Look, this is the personal jade pendant given to us by the county magistrate."
All the officers and soldiers looked at the jade pendant in Su Yunhai's hand. It was indeed the master's personal jade pendant. They all recognized it.
"My dear officials, the county magistrate said that when you come back, you will be asked to help my daughter and me. After the task is completed, you will be rewarded with 20 kilograms of grain! What do you think...?"
When the officers and soldiers saw the countless bags of grain piled behind the inner wall of the county government office, their hearts were burning with anxiety.
Although Yingze County is not short of water, they are short of food!
The officers and soldiers did not question Su Yunhai's words.
After all, they could not imagine that someone would dare to act rashly in front of the county magistrate in the county government office.
Do you really think the county magistrate is dead?
"I see. Since it is your errand, we dare not refuse!"
While Shen Shuli was busy exchanging food for the people, she listened carefully to the movements here.
Seeing that this group of officers and soldiers really believed and joined in, I was so happy!
With the help of more than a dozen officers and soldiers, the speed was so fast that it took off.
In order to avoid arousing suspicion from the officers and soldiers, Su Yunhai used the excuse that the county magistrate thought the county office was too noisy, and had already moved out with his women and other yamen runners, and would return after things here were dealt with.
Fortunately, the officers and soldiers were all straightforward and did not notice any clues, and no one became suspicious at all.
Most of the officers and soldiers are locals. After finishing their work in the evening, they leave and go home to eat and rest.
Su Yunhai and his daughter closed the gate of the county government office and rested inside, guarding the grain at the same time.
Shen Shuli was feeling very happy at the moment. She had gained more in this half day than in the whole day yesterday.
I have already collected three boxes of jade ornaments.
Unfortunately, there was no movement in the space, and the jade artifacts were still placed next to the ancient well, without a single one missing.
Shen Shuli was not discouraged either.
This opportunity is rare.
Just think of it as distributing food to the people.
The news of the distribution of food in the city has reached the ears of the people outside the city and the refugees passing by.
Su Yunhai used the county magistrate's oral order to exempt the soldiers guarding the city gate from paying entry fees, and allowed the common people to enter the city for free to exchange for food at the county government office.
If you don't have a jade pendant, you can buy one with silver.
More and more people are queuing up.
The wealthy and powerful people in the city also received the news early and sent many servants to the county government to queue up to buy food.
Fortunately, in addition to the twelve officers and soldiers who helped, the father and daughter hired more than thirty people to help.
Three days.
Almost all the people in the city were queuing up to buy food.
Fortunately, no one dared to cause trouble around the county government office. Even though the team had lined up outside the city gate, no one dared to take the opportunity to cause trouble.
There are simply too many people.
Shen Shuli and her daughter simply worked in shifts day and night.
In her spare time, Shen Shuli made a special trip to the county granary.
In the name of the county magistrate, the officers and soldiers transported the grain to the county government office openly.
We also have to find time to go to Yingze Lake to pump water, and we are so busy that we have no time to rest.
In order not to arouse suspicion among the officers and soldiers.
Shen Shuli also gave the county magistrate an injection of obedience potion and took the county magistrate around the gate of the county government several times.
No officer or soldier suspected the father and daughter's outrageous actions at all. Instead, they respected them even more and worked more attentively.
In order to prevent the rich and powerful who have no shortage of food from snatching food from ordinary people.
Shen Shuli asked the people in the county government to keep an eye on the crowd of people, and all the servants in the rich and powerful families were directly expelled.
It will also control those large-volume buyers.
Try your best to prevent people from exploiting loopholes.
But for those people who brought top-quality jade ornaments to exchange for food, Shen Shuli and her daughter had no way to control the distribution of food.
After all, the more expensive the jade is, the more food it can be exchanged for at one time.
certainly.
Even if the rich and powerful or grain merchants took advantage of the situation, Shen Shuli could take the opportunity to sneak into the homes of these rich people and bring the grain back.
Estimate how far the team has traveled in the past few days.
Su Yunhai didn't dare to stay here for too long.
Let Shen Shuli extract as much water as possible from Yingze Lake.
The officers and soldiers guarding Yingze Lake had already discovered the abnormal rapid drop in the lake water level.
But when he came back to report to the county magistrate, the county magistrate directly ordered the officers and soldiers to prohibit collecting any fees from the people.
Free water for all people.
Officers and soldiers only need to maintain order.
He also spread the news and asked officers and soldiers to post notices all over the city.
"The water source in Yingze County is about to dry up. The northern barbarians will soon invade Qinzhou. The people must evacuate southward as soon as possible to escape."
Shen Shuli predicted that the Northern Barbarians might have already invaded Qingzhou.
Qingzhou Prefecture has become an empty city. Without any military force to stop them, the barbarians will definitely surrender and continue to gallop towards the capital.
Since Shen Shuli had interacted with the people in Yingze County, she just wanted to do her best to help them escape as soon as possible.
As long as the water in Yingze Lake disappears, people will definitely become more panicked, and the probability of them choosing to leave the county is very high!
otherwise.
If any northern barbarians choose to enter Beijing via the Qinzhou route.
The famous Yingze County will definitely be invaded by the northern barbarians for water!
Even if Shen Shuli didn't collect the water, if the people here didn't evacuate, there would definitely not be a good ending.
Stayed in Yingze County for five days.
A total of 200,000 shi of grain were sold!
Half of the food that Shen Shuli had stored was directly consumed!
Early in the morning of the sixth day.
Shen Shuli led out two horse-drawn carriages from the county government office, and in front of all the people in the city, she sent the county magistrate and his wife onto the carriages and left the city together.
Only then did the people in the city realize that the county magistrate had really left with his family!
Only then did they realize that the decree issued by the county magistrate was not an exaggeration!
Many people did not dare to take the risk and hurried home to pack up their things and flee Yingze County.
