Chapter 223 Selling Food at Low Prices
When they left, the two men went quietly under the cover of night, bringing only He Bo with them, with the secret guards leading the way.
When they came back, Prince Xiao and his little princess rode in a luxurious carriage and appeared at the city gate in a high-profile manner.
There were still many disaster victims gathered at the city gate, but there was no blocking of the road as before. When they saw their carriage, some people who could read recognized the lantern with the words "Prince Xiao" hanging on it and shouted loudly: "It's Prince Xiao's carriage, kneel down, kneel down!"
So, the little princess, who was still mad at Ji Xiaohan, was distracted when she heard the louder and louder shouts of "Ku En" outside the car window. She leaned out to look, "What's that sound?"
Lifting the curtains, they saw people kneeling on both sides of the road. Judging from their tattered clothes, they looked like the disaster victims from the last time they entered Quanzhou City. Su Wanyan listened for a while and finally heard what they were shouting. She turned to look at Ji Xiaohan suspiciously and asked, "Are you blaming me for the Zhouji Grain Store's grain distribution?"
The victims knelt there, calling out for Prince Xiao's great kindness and thanking Princess Xiao for distributing grain to help the victims.
She had just casually mentioned the matter of distributing grain at Zhouji Grain Store, but she didn't expect Ji Xiaohan to order someone to do it so quickly. Hearing the victims' words of gratitude, it seemed that the effect was quite significant.
Ji Xiaohan's hand was still around the little princess' waist, preventing her from losing her balance and falling. Hearing this, he smiled faintly, "This was the princess's ingenuity. I just copied it. The credit should naturally go to the princess."
"I don't deserve it!" Su Wanyan felt a little embarrassed instantly. She was just making a suggestion. There was still a lot to do and it couldn't be done with just a few words. Ji Xiaohan must have mobilized a lot of people to control the chaotic disaster situation of the disaster victims rioting in Quanzhou.
Furthermore, if Ji Xiaohan had not stepped forward, the Quanzhou prefect would probably have taken credit for it, and when the time came to report it, she would not have been credited at all. Now that Ji Xiaohan was watching, the Quanzhou prefect would definitely have praised her highly when he reported it. I wonder how angry the dog emperor would be when he saw that memorial.
The carriage drove into the city gate, and the guards at the gate saluted one after another, "Greetings to Prince Xiao and the Prince Xiao's Mansion."
The families of the guards also lived in the city, and some lived outside the city. They saw that when Prince Xiao and Princess Xiao came, they bought grain from Zhouji Grain Shop and sold it all to the victims at the purchase price. Even when they, who were not victims of the disaster, sneaked into the team to buy grain, Prince Xiao's people did not drive them away.
From this we can see that King Xiao and his wife are not as the rumors say.
On the way back to Mingyue Restaurant, the carriage had to pass by Zhouji Grain Shop. The shop, which was once deserted, now had a long line. Although many victims were wearing tattered clothes and did not have much money, they all lined up happily in an orderly manner, because the grain sold by Zhouji Grain Shop was all sold at the purchase price. If they had no money, they could still exchange it for something else.
Looking at the entrances of the other three grain shops, they were so deserted that there was not even a single person in sight. The owners of those three shops must be mad as hell, right?
Su Wanyan observed all of this and whispered, "If Zhouji Grain Shop does this every day, will the other three companies join forces to deal with it? After all, what Zhouji Grain Shop does is not very decent."
