"No matter how much they raise the price, our Jishi Grain Store will still keep the previous price. In addition, starting tomorrow we will set up porridge stalls outside the city to help those who have run out of food," Jiang Ran said.
Jiang Fan and Wu Yanqing nodded at the same time. The weather was getting hotter and hotter. It should have been the harvest season, but this year the people had nothing to harvest. The situation was becoming increasingly serious, and they had to take action immediately.
The next day.
The Jishi Grain Store built a porridge stall outside the city, and many people who had difficulty making ends meet rushed there.
When Yinzhen and the Tenth Prince rushed over after hearing the noise, they felt heavy-hearted when they saw the victims in tattered clothes and with pale faces.
"Ninth brother, it has been more than ten days. Why is there still no response to the memorial we submitted to the Emperor? If the weather in Shandong continues to develop like this, the situation will definitely become more and more serious," said the Tenth Prince.
"Our memorial should be presented directly to the Emperor, but I'm afraid someone will interfere. Old Ten, go back and write a letter to Eighth Brother immediately, asking him to investigate what's going on."
Yinzhen gave instructions to the Tenth Prince and then walked towards the victims.
The reason why he stayed in Jinan City for so long was not only because of his deep love for his daughter, but also because of the disaster here. If Deng Weimin and others were to submit memorials to the capital, after going through numerous checks, it would be hard to say whether they could finally be delivered to Emperor Kangxi. However, he was different from the Tenth Prince. Their memorials did not need so many reviews, but he was afraid that someone would interfere.
"The owner of this Jishi Grain Store is such a good person. The prices of other grain stores have increased by so much, but they are the only ones who have not raised prices. They even opened a soup kitchen here to help us."
"I don't know who the owner of Jishi Grain Store is. There are not many kind people like him at this time of year."
"I must go to the Bodhisattva to pray for the safety of the owner of the Jishi Grain Store. Such a good person, the Bodhisattva must bless them well.
Along the way, Yinzhen heard many people discussing Jishi Grain Store, and they all gave it unprecedented and unanimous praise.
In today's situation, most merchants choose to raise prices to make money. Those who can maintain the original price without raising it are indeed rare conscientious merchants. What's more, Jishi Grain Store also opened a porridge stall here, and its owner is indeed worthy of so much praise.
"Not only are the prices at the Jishi Grain Store very fair in this disaster year, but in the past, their prices were also much lower than those of other grain stores. They are truly a rare merchant."
"Yes, but the prices in other grain stores have gone up. I hope they won't make things difficult for Jishi Grain Store."
. . .
Looking at the disaster victims around him along the way, their words also entered Yinzhen's ears.
At this moment, he had already walked to the porridge stall, where there were several large pots filled with rice porridge with an enticing fragrance. The victims were waiting in an orderly manner, and no one was making any noise or arguing.
Since coming of age, Yinlang has dealt with many disasters. Whenever a disaster occurred, the place was in chaos. This is the first time he has seen such an orderly situation as the one now.
"Master Jiu, why are you here?" Deng Weimin, who came to check the situation, saw Yinzhen at a glance and hurried forward to greet him.
"Who is the owner of this Jishi Grain Store?"
Yinzhen asked, he was very interested in the owner of Jishi Grain Store because such principled businessmen were rare.
"In reply to Master Jiu, the owner of this Jishi Grain Store is surnamed Wang, and his name is..."
Deng Weimin was about to say the name of the boss of Jishi when he saw Yin'er's expression suddenly change. He raised his head and looked in the direction Yin'er was looking, only to see a young man not far away coming to the porridge stall and explaining something to the busy people in the stall.
"Master Jiu, that is the owner of Jishi Grain Store - Wang Shaohui."
