Chapter 142 Release the Escort Food from the Warehouse
After hearing the news that there was food and water for sale in Linshui County, people from Linshui County within a hundred miles, people from neighboring counties, and the victims fleeing famine to the east all flocked to Linshui County.
After Lin Baoer changed the price sign, it caused even more excitement, and the entire Linshui County was in an uproar.
In years of severe drought, the Wanyuan Chamber of Commerce does not charge for water and there is no limit on the amount of water. As long as you can afford it, you can take as much as you want.
Refined rice and refined flour are only 5 cents per pound, which is cheaper than coarse grains in a good year.
"Wanyuan Chamber of Commerce is a living Bodhisattva! Everyone, hurry up and fetch water. The water is free, and you can fetch as much as you want."
"Fine rice and fine flour are only five cents a pound. If you have some money, go buy some. They are so cheap!"
After hearing the news, the victims outside the county town, whether they had money or not, all rushed to the city gate to line up...
The victims waiting in line were extremely anxious and wanted to get into the city immediately.
Steward Zhou put sand in the porridge he served at the city gate.
Unless they are extremely desperate, even refugees fleeing famine cannot eat porridge with sand in it.
The food from Wanyuan Chamber of Commerce was so cheap that the disaster victims with some financial resources all wanted to go into the city to buy some food.
Even disaster victims who have no money would like to go to the city to get some water if water is free.

As they flew towards Anping Prefecture, Lin Baoer planned to take in the scenery along the way...
Seeing the ragged refugees on the ground, Lin Baoer was overwhelmed with emotions. She lost interest in the scenery and flew straight towards Anping Prefecture...
After building the foundation, Lin Baoer can fly about 700 miles in an hour.
When Lin Baoer flew over Anping City, she looked at her watch: it was 9 o'clock.
The city of Anping Prefecture is about 10 miles in radius, and there are four main streets in the city: East Street, West Street, North Street and South Street.
The prefectural government office of Anping Prefecture faces north and south, on the north side of North Street.
After flying over Anping City, Lin Baoer released her spiritual sense...
After finding the location of the Anping Prefecture government office and flying over it, Lin Baoer hovered above it...
After using her spiritual sense to scan the situation in the government office, Lin Baoer instructed Yuanbao, "Yuanbao, drop the Shuzhou convoy food on the open space in front of the lobby of the Anping government office."
The Anping government office has six entrances and several courtyards. Only the courtyard in front of the second lobby is the largest and can hold the food supplies from Shuzhou.
"Okay, host, wait a moment!"
……
"Host, it's ready!"
As soon as Yuanbao finished speaking, the courtyard in front of the government hall, which had been empty just now, was filled with ox carts and horse carts loaded with grain.
"Uh-huh!"
The matter was settled, and Lin Baoer planned to return to Linshui County.
After responding to Yuanbao's call, Lin Baoer turned and flew southeastwards towards Anping Prefecture...
-
There were a large number of disaster victims around the city of Anping Prefecture, and a large number of yamen runners were needed to maintain public order. Almost all the yamen runners in the prefectural yamen came out.
At present, there are only a few gatekeepers left in the yamen.
The gatekeeper at the government office was called Zhang Er.
Zhang Er, who was guarding outside the lobby door, was slacking off when no one was around...
When Zhang Er suddenly saw the scene in the yard, he was stunned.
……
Three grain convoys from Anping Prefecture were robbed in Qingfeng Gorge.
After the grain merchants in Anping Prefecture received the news that three convoys of grain had been robbed, the price of grain in the grain shops in Anping Prefecture skyrocketed.
The price of miscellaneous grains is now two hundred coins per catty.
Even if grains were sold at 200 wen per pound, several large grain stores in Anping City would soon close.
A large number of disaster victims flocked to Anping Prefecture, and three emergency grain convoys were robbed, so the stocks of several major grain merchants in Anping Prefecture were already running out.
Watching the soaring grain prices in the city, Anping Prefecture's prefect Zhao Jingwen was helpless and anxious. Every day he just hoped that the last six convoys of grain could arrive safely at Anping Prefecture.
When Prefect Zhao learned that the last six shipments of grain from Anping Prefecture had arrived in Chen County, he felt much relieved.
These six darts should be safe this time if they don't go through Qingfeng Gorge, right?
……
After coming to his senses, Zhang Er quickly ran to the yard to check...
When Zhang Er saw that the carts carrying the grain were all carrying the flags of a Shuzhou escort agency, he immediately ran to the Second Hall...
The second hall is in the third courtyard of Anping Mansion.
Magistrate Zhao usually worked in the second hall, and at this moment he was writing memorials in the study room on the east side of the second hall.
"Master! Great joy!"
After finding Magistrate Zhao in the study, Zhang Er immediately shouted at the door of the study.
"What kind of happy event can there be in this year?"
After hearing Zhang Er's shouting, Prefect Zhao, who was busy writing a memorial, asked casually without even raising his head.
"Master, I can't explain it in a few words. Just go to the lobby and you will know!"
"What is it? Tell me quickly! I am busy writing a memorial to the emperor!"
Zhang Er left half of his words unsaid, and the annoyed Prefect Zhao scolded him impatiently.
"Master, I don't quite understand. It seems that the grain purchased from Shuzhou has arrived. Many grain carts are parked in the yard in front of the lobby..."
"This is true!"
Before Zhang Er finished speaking, after hearing what Zhang Er said, Prefect Zhao stood up in shock and ran out of the study while talking...
"Really, Master, you will know after you go and take a look."
As he was talking, Magistrate Zhao had already run out of the study and was running towards the outer courtyard...
Zhang Er responded as he followed Prefect Zhao to the outer courtyard.
……
When he ran to the front of the hall and saw the yard filled with grain carts, Prefect Zhao was immediately surprised and excited. After coming to his senses, he quickly ran to the yard...
……
After walking around the yard and looking at the flags of the escort agency on the grain carts, Prefect Zhao was 80% sure: these were the last six grain carts escorted from Shuzhou.
This is too strange. Logically, it would take three days for these six convoys of food to reach Anping Prefecture. How come they arrived today?
These grains were purchased by several major grain merchants in Anping Prefecture. Logically speaking, these grains should not have been brought to the government office!
Why are there only oxen and horses pulling the grain carts, but no escorts?
"Zhang Er, where is the escort of the grain?"
"Master, these grains appeared in the yard out of thin air, without any escort."
"Zhang Er, did these rations really appear out of nowhere in the yard?"
When hearing Zhang Er say this, Prefect Zhao's voice suddenly raised and he asked in disbelief.
"Master, it's true. When I suddenly found these rations, I was so frightened that I couldn't recover for a long time. I thought I saw a ghost in broad daylight!"
"Where did this ghost come from in broad daylight? Stop talking nonsense! Hurry up and inform the Qian family: let their grain merchants take over the grain."
When Magistrate Zhao heard Zhang Er say there was a ghost, he suddenly felt a chill on his body. He subconsciously looked at the scorching sun in the sky, and then scolded Zhang Er calmly.
"I humbly obey my orders!"
After answering, Zhang Er immediately ran to the outer courtyard...
After watching Zhang Er run away, Prefect Zhao once again looked at the grain cart in the yard with doubt...
So much food appeared in the yard out of nowhere. Could there really be a ghost in broad daylight?
