Natural disaster at the beginning: I will lead the system to build a safe zone

Since receiving the system's prompt that day, Shi Anan would go to the city gate every day, mainly to see where her mission was going.

Her unusual behavior also aroused the curiosity of others. On this day, An An walked to the city gate again. Yan Fei, who couldn't hold back, finally asked: "Miss, what do you want to see? If there is anything, I can help you keep an eye on it."

Shi Anan waved her hand: "It's nothing, just do your thing."

Shi Anan didn't dare to say that she was here to wait for the refugees. The system told her that refugees were coming, but didn't say when they would come, so she could only come and check on them from time to time.

As for why she didn't tell Yan Fei and the others, it was because she didn't know how to explain why she knew that refugees were coming. If they asked her when they would come and how many people would come, she would not be able to answer at all.

However, after waiting for so many days, there was no sign of the refugees. Even Shi Anan was wondering if the system was fooling her.

Another day of fruitless return, Shi Anan said before leaving: "If there is any movement, tell me in time."

Shi Anan didn't know that the system predicted that the refugees were still more than a thousand miles away from Qinghe County. If calculated based on modern traffic speed, they would indeed be close to Qinghe County, but this was ancient times. After the system clerk gave the prompt, he also found that he seemed to have given the prompt too early, mainly because of energy problems, which caused problems in its calculation logic and did not take into account the situation in ancient times.

However, it knows how to play dead, so it’s better not to come out and remind Shi An An at this time, otherwise you will probably be scolded again.

So Shi Anan was tricked by the system again without knowing it.

After going to the city gate for several days in a row and seeing no one coming, Shi Anan stopped going there every day. She cursed the waiter in her heart and believed that the system was fooling her.

But soon, Shi Anan no longer had the extra energy to pay attention to when the refugees would arrive, because their caravan came back from outside!

"Mr. Chen, Mr. Wang, Mr. Qian, please come in and sit down." Shi Anan greeted the leaders of the three major caravans in Qinghe County with a smile.

Everyone was acquaintance and they were not so shy with each other. The moment Chen Huairen saw Shi Anan, he excitedly told her about his gains.

"Miss Shi, our products are extremely popular in the provincial capital. The few truckloads of goods we shipped over this time were all sold out in just a few days!"

They have been doing business for so long, but they have never seen it so easy to sell things. Except for the first day, the people in the provincial capital didn't know what they were doing and were a little hesitant about the things they were selling. But after the first wave of customers left, their reputation quickly spread in the provincial capital. The subsequent goods were in short supply. No matter how expensive the price was, they were rushed to buy every day, as if the money was worthless.

Shi Anan smiled and said, "This time you brought food, clothes, daily necessities and some novel gadgets. These things are what everyone needs every day, so it's not surprising that they caused a rush for them."

Qian Jinbao nodded in agreement: "Indeed, the best-selling items this time are still Miss Shi's snacks, and the glassware and soaps are also very popular among the wealthy families."

Wang Fuan said, "Although the provincial capital is not short of food for the time being, who would complain about having too much to eat? Moreover, these snacks have never been seen anywhere else, so everyone naturally wants to try them. Miss Shi, can you let me bring more next time? Many people didn't get any this time."

Chen Huairen and Qian Jinbao also said quickly: "We also need to import more goods!"

Shi Anan nodded: "Of course there is no problem. However, the main reason I called the three masters here today is to ask about the situation in your provincial capital."

"What is the situation in the provincial capital now? Who is in power?"

Chen Huairen pondered for a while and then said, "The situation in the provincial capital is much better than that in Qinghe County. First, there is enough food there. Second, the current manager of the provincial capital is Zhao Zhong, the governor of Lingnan. He is honest and upright, and a good official."

"We went there to get information and learned that the provincial capital had been in chaos for a while due to the disaster. Zhao Zhong fled there and later temporarily stabilized the situation in the provincial capital with his leadership ability. Although he had no relatives there, the people recognized him."

Under the current situation, it is not easy to have an official who still cares about the people. Shi Anan asked: "Do you think it is possible for us to cooperate with the provincial capital?"

In the past, Guangming Town was remote and had inconvenient transportation. Even without considering the danger, it was difficult to contact and cooperate with the outside world.

But Qinghe County is different. As a county, its original connection with other places must be stronger. If it wants to develop better, it certainly cannot be limited to this place. Without people, it cannot grow and develop even with systematic help.

This exchange with the provincial capital is very important. The scale of the provincial capital is much larger than that of Qinghe County. To put it bluntly, she is the one who is greedy for them.

However, if the manager of the provincial capital is easy to get along with, it is not impossible to cooperate for mutual benefit. After all, with her current abilities, it is still very difficult for her to directly take over the provincial capital.

After hearing Shi An'an's question, Wang Fuan thought for a moment and replied, "Of course, we can, but we need to see the situation. There have been a lot of refugees from the north coming to the provincial capital recently. It is said that there is a serious drought and water shortage there, and there has been chaos."

Shi Anan was surprised: "The refugees have arrived in the provincial capital?"

In such a climate with constant natural disasters, the ruling power of the Apocalypse Dynasty was gradually lost, so she was not surprised that there was chaos. What surprised her more was that the refugees she had been waiting for for so long did not come to Qinghe County, but instead arrived in the provincial capital first.

As expected, she couldn't trust this unreliable system. The provincial capital was still far away from Qinghe County. She had gone to the city gate every day in the past few days.

The merchants Chen, Qian, and Wang did not know what Shi Anan was thinking. They just replied, "Yes, because there is a lot of water in the south, a large number of refugees from the north are now heading south. The ones arriving in the provincial capital now are probably just the first wave. We don't know how chaotic the north is. If there is a steady stream of refugees coming, even the provincial capital may not be able to support so many people. We are afraid that the provincial capital will become chaotic again, so we have to wait and see about cooperating with the provincial capital."

The provincial capital can’t afford it, but she can!

Shi Anan cried out in her heart that these refugees were the key to her completing the main mission. Although Guangming Town had some reputation in the surrounding area, its reputation was probably not as great as Qinghe County.

Qinghe County is synonymous with remoteness and poverty in the entire Lingnan region. Even if they are allowed to sell their products to the provincial capital to increase its popularity, it is still remote after all, and it is not easy to get the people to come here on their own.

Shi Anan decided that she would go to the provincial capital herself to snatch the person!
