Reborn to face famine, I brought a space full of supplies!
Chapter 218 The Situation is Chaotic
After hearing Jiang Chuyue's words, Shopkeeper Wei finally breathed a sigh of relief. Ever since the news of the war in the south came, the county and the town had been in complete chaos.
Everyone was worried about whether they would be attacked. Although the magistrate had selected a group of people for training and started to rebuild the city wall, the situation was really not favorable.
Successive natural disasters, coupled with the increasing number of refugees pouring into the county, made them realize that they had to stockpile food and hold on to their banknotes.
Although several grain stores in the county and town supply grain every day, the quantity purchased is too small, and people line up every night.
Within a quarter of an hour of the store opening, all the food was looted.
Now it's not just Shopkeeper Wei's family that's short of food. There are many other families in the county and town who are short of food. Some of them wanted to buy food at a high price, but the servants and the shopkeeper were unmoved, and even the price of food never rose.
As for those people who had snatched the food, they were even more reluctant to sell it.
Seeing that the situation was becoming more and more chaotic, and the conditions in the county and the town were not very good, Shopkeeper Wei asked around and found out that the boss behind the grain shop was actually Jiang Chuyue.
Jiang Chuyue never expected that within just a few days in Wanshan Village, the situation would become completely chaotic.
"Didn't the magistrate send anyone to quell the riot?" Jiang Chuyue frowned when she heard about the looting of food outside the grain store.
"How many of the people who were sent can be used?" Manager Wei sighed, "Many of the newly selected people have not received any training, but they were sent to guard the city walls, not to mention the situation in the city."
There were simply too many people in the county and town. Although the magistrate had the secret support of Shuiyun Pavilion, the situation became chaotic so quickly that they didn't have enough time to prepare and could no longer control the situation.
"The world is in chaos, and we don't know what will happen next." Jiang Chuyue also sighed, "You and your family should be more careful during this period. If you are short of food or need any help, just come to me. I will help you in any way I can."
Jiang Chuyue had a pretty good impression of Manager Wei and knew that he had his own set of principles in doing things.
"I have to go to the grain shop to check on the situation, so I won't stay any longer." Jiang Chuyue stood up and prepared to leave. She was really concerned about the situation at the grain shop, and she couldn't feel at ease unless she went to check it out in person.
"Boss Jiang, I have something to tell you." Seeing that Jiang Chuyue was about to go out, Shopkeeper Wei sat up suddenly and stopped Jiang Chuyue who was about to step out of the threshold.
Meeting Jiang Chuyue's puzzled eyes, Shopkeeper Wei hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell Jiang Chuyue what he knew.
"You asked me before why I wanted to plot against you. Now I'm telling you, but this matter cannot be known to others."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Chuyue became interested. She had been curious about the iron mine for a long time, but Manager Wei's attitude at the time was so firm that she couldn't really dig out any useful information, and the matter ended up in nothing.
I didn't expect to get an answer today.
"If it's not convenient for you, you don't have to tell me." Jiang Chuyue knew the dilemma of Shopkeeper Wei. Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, she finally couldn't bear to force him.
"I had planned to never mention this matter again, but you helped me so much, and since you are the boss behind the grain shop, I think you have to deal with them." Shopkeeper Wei smiled bitterly, "The person who told me the truth was the owner of Shuiyun Pavilion, Liu Mo."
Seeing Jiang Chuyue's puzzled expression, Manager Wei explained, "You have been staying in Wanshan Village, so you may not know what Shuiyun Pavilion is. It is a martial arts sect. I don't know why the head of Shuiyun Pavilion told me this, but I vaguely guessed that our current county magistrate should have some connection with the head of Shuiyun Pavilion."
Shopkeeper Wei told Jiang Chuyue everything he knew. As for whether Jiang Chuyue believed it or not and what she would do next, that was no longer something Shopkeeper Wei could control.
"You are now the owner of the grain store. From what I see from the magistrate's actions, he is not going to submit to the princes in the south. If they want to start their own business, grain and medicinal materials will be their top priority. I think they will soon come to you to discuss cooperation."
Jiang Chuyue heard something unusual in Shopkeeper Wei's words, and also sniffed out some information, "Have they already contacted Shopkeeper Wei?"
Shopkeeper Wei didn't expect Jiang Chuyue to react so quickly. He nodded and said, "They did come to me, but that was the last thing they promised. I don't want to get involved too much with the people in Shuiyun Pavilion. If they need herbs, I can provide them, but they have to pay in cash and the transaction must be fair."
Jiang Chuyue also understood that Shopkeeper Wei did not intend to continue to be entangled with the people from Shuiyun Pavilion. They could cooperate, but it would be limited to business cooperation.
"I understand." Jiang Chuyue thought for a moment, but still didn't intend to hide it from him. "The people from Shuiyun Pavilion have come to me. I also want to do business with the people from Shuiyun Pavilion as Manager Wei planned."
Seeing that Manager Wei looked uneasy, Jiang Chuyue knew what he was worried about. Liu Mo went through so much trouble to let her know the situation at the iron mine, so he must have had some complicated purpose.
But she still didn't understand what Liu Mo wanted to do.
"Manager Wei must also know that if I reject Shuiyun Pavilion, my grain shop may not be able to survive." This sentence made Manager Wei give up the idea of persuading Jiang Chuyue to draw a clear line between himself and Shuiyun Pavilion.
The relationship between the county magistrate and Shuiyun Pavilion is unclear now. If the county magistrate really gets entangled with the people from Shuiyun Pavilion, and Jiang Chuyue really refuses to cooperate with Shuiyun Pavilion with the county magistrate around, she will completely offend the county magistrate.
I’m afraid the family will have a hard time in the future.
"You'd better be more careful and take care of yourself in the future." In the end, this was all Shopkeeper Wei could say.
"Don't worry, I know everything. I won't suffer any loss." After saying goodbye to Manager Wei briefly, Jiang Chuyue got on the donkey cart, and her face instantly turned gloomy.
Wu Gang, Uncle Zhao and others saw that Jiang Chuyue's face looked terribly bad, and no one came forward for a while.
He waited until Jiang Chuyue's mood improved a little before coming over.
"Sister Jiang, what happened?" Uncle Zhao spoke first.
"It's nothing serious." Jiang Chuyue forced a smile.
