"What's wrong?" Xia came out of the kitchen and saw a girl lying at the door, so she hurried over to help.
"Sister-in-law, do you have any rice soup?" Chen Heng asked. The person had collapsed at home, and she couldn't do such a thing as throwing it away.
"Yes, yes." Xia hurried into the kitchen to get rice soup.
Chen Heng was going to save someone. Looking at the woman on the ground, Xie Jian's mind flashed back to the girl's grief when she found out that she couldn't save him.
"Here it comes, here it comes." Xia squatted down and shook gently: "Miss, wake up, wake up."
The woman woke up, smelled the fragrance of rice soup, and subconsciously grabbed it and drank it.
After finishing the bowl, the woman finally saw the three people in front of her clearly. She stood up, knelt down and kowtowed, her voice choked with sobs: "Thank you three life savers, thank you three life savers."
"Hurry up and get up." Chen Heng and Xia Shi helped her up.
The woman was extremely haggard, her face was yellow and her lips were pale. She looked at the three people with gratitude and said, "I have been hungry for three days. I knocked on many doors but no one opened them. I wanted to beg for some food but no one gave it to me." As she said this, she was about to kneel down again.
Shen Heng stopped her: "A bowl of rice soup."
"Sister-in-law, go give her all the leftover cakes in the kitchen." Xie Jian said to the sister-in-law, then looked at the girl coldly and said, "Take the cakes and you can go."
When Xia came out with the cake, the woman did not take it. She stepped back and knelt on the ground: "I am very poor and have nowhere to go. After the snowstorm, the world is in chaos. I beg you to take me in, my three benefactors. I will do anything for you." As she spoke, she kowtowed desperately.
Xie Jian said coldly, "You are so greedy! If you don't want it, don't take the cake."
Chen Heng felt a headache after hearing this. Couldn't she just listen to him? He helped the girl up and said, "Miss, we can barely protect ourselves, let alone take you in."
Upon hearing this, the woman had no choice but to take the pancake from Xia's hand and leave.
Seeing Xie Jian staring at the woman's departing figure, Chen Heng knew that he was also touched. The woman's desolate look when no one helped her was somewhat similar to the Xie family's.
After instructing Xia to keep the door tightly closed, Xie Jian and Shen Heng headed out of the city.
In just one afternoon, there were a few more refugees outside the city.
"Ajian, Aheng." When Meng Xuanlang's cheerful voice sounded, he, Old Master Meng and Lu Ji'an came over from the side.
The two of them saluted quickly.
"Grandpa Meng, I have something to ask you." Xie Jian had a doubt in his mind.
"You ask."
"What kind of situation is the goods in that no one would buy them even at a low price?"
Old Master Meng was stunned. After all, this question was too simple for a businessman like him, or in other words, any ordinary person could answer it.
Meng Xuanlang replied casually, "I know all this. Things are cheap when they are plentiful, and expensive when they are few. Ah Jian, I always thought you were very smart, but this question is a foolish one."
Xie Jian ignored him and said to Lu Ji'an, "Master, I have a plan that will not only prevent the price of rice from rising, but will also keep it below normal. I wonder if it's feasible."
Lu Ji'an and Old Master Meng looked at each other, and Lu Ji'an said happily, "Tell me about it."
Chen Heng looked at Xie Jian with disbelief. Although this guy would be very powerful in the future, this problem had never been solved in history.
"Raising grain prices is not just a problem in our Nanming County, Ji County, Shan County, and other places. Other government offices have also been suppressing prices. If we post a notice of no limit on rice prices at this time, those grain merchants from other places will rush to Nanming County to make profits." When Xie Jian said this, his eyes were deep and calm, with a hint of calculation in them.
