Poor Family: I reached the top by marrying a wife

Chapter 421 Arrival at Jinling County

Two days later, Jinyuan County.

Jiang Chen brought his soldiers to the county government office of Jinyuan County.

"My Lord! You are here!"

When Jinyuan County Magistrate Liu saw Jiang Chen, he hurried forward to greet him.

"Haha, Lord Liu, you're really fast!"

"In less than three days, we brought in 50,000 disaster victims!"

Jiang Chen looked at Lord Liu with a smile on his face.

"My Lord, this is all thanks to you!"

"Your Majesty, please rest assured that I will definitely provide good assistance to these victims!" Lord Liu said hurriedly.

At the same time, don't forget to wipe the sweat off your body.

Seeing Lord Liu like this, Jiang Chen smiled faintly and said, "Haha, Lord Liu, don't be nervous. You have found 50,000 disaster victims, so your life can be saved!"

"This Lord will not make it difficult for you!"

"Next, you just need to provide disaster relief according to the court's requirements!"

"Yes Yes Yes!"

Lord Liu nodded hurriedly.

But he was thinking in his heart that if he followed the court's request for disaster relief, the food would surely run out within half a month!

When the time comes, let’s see what Jiang Chen will do!

After inspecting Jinyuan County, Jiang Chen did not stay in Jinyuan County.

He went all the way south and arrived at the county seat of Jinling County.

Along the way, Jiang Chen saw many disaster victims heading towards Jinling County.

After asking around, I found out that Jinling County did not accept disaster victims before, but started to do so now!

And a lot of porridge was given as disaster relief!

This made the people extremely excited, and they all came towards Jinling County!

"My Lord, you are so amazing!"

"The people of Jinling County are no longer hungry because of you, Lord Marquis!"

"They finally have a place to stay and won't starve to death on the roadside!"

Han Peng was extremely happy when he saw the people whose faces were full of hope!

……

"Haha, just a little trick."

"However, if we want the people of Jinling County to truly escape the crisis, we still have to look at the next arrangements!"

Jiang Chen smiled faintly.

"What's the next arrangement?" Han Peng and the others all looked at Jiang Chen in confusion.

But Jiang Chen did not continue speaking.

When everyone arrived at the gate of Jinling County, the Magistrate of Jinling County was already waiting at the door!

"Welcome, Your Excellency the Imperial Envoy!"

The Jinling County Magistrate, along with a group of officials, bowed respectfully to Jiang Chen.

"Haha, there's no need to be so polite, my lords!"

Jiang Chen hurriedly stepped forward and helped the Jinling County Magistrate up.

"Lord Jiang, I have heard of your great name for a long time. Meeting you today is truly a great honor for me!"

"My Lord, you are truly a young hero!"

After the Jinling County Magistrate stood up, he complimented Jiang Chen with a smile on his face.

Hearing this, Jiang Chen smiled faintly and said, "Haha, Lord County Magistrate, you are too kind. Jinling County suffered a great disaster, and the Lord County Magistrate has done his best to provide disaster relief. This is good news for the people!"

"I'm only here to help this time!"

"Hahaha! My Lord, you are too polite. Please come in!"

"I have prepared a banquet for the unsealing! Please do not refuse, my Lord!"

The Jinling County Magistrate said this with a smile on his face, and then invited Jiang Chen to enter Jinling County.

After entering Jinling County, Jiang Chen saw many porridge stalls.

Among them were those from the imperial court and from aristocratic families.

However, there are more from the imperial court.

Moreover, the porridge at the imperial court was also richer in flavor.

"Please rest assured, my lord. We distribute porridge in accordance with the court rules and we will never be careless!" The Jinling County Magistrate saw Jiang Chen checking the porridge stalls and hurried forward.

……

"Haha, you did a good job indeed."

Jiang Chen nodded with satisfaction.

Then he followed the Jinling County Magistrate and others to the government office.

The banquet has already been set up here.

"Master Hou, please!"

"My lords, please!"

As Jiang Chen and the Jinling County Magistrate exchanged politeness, everyone sat around the dining table.

"My Lord, it is a great honor for our Jinling County to have you here!"

"The people are also rejuvenated because of the arrival of the Marquis!"

"Come, my Lord, this is my toast to you!"

The Jinling County Magistrate raised his glass and toasted Jiang Chen!

"Good good!"

Jiang Chen didn't hesitate, he raised his glass and started drinking!

As they drank glass after glass of wine, everyone started talking.

As the topic went on, the conversation turned to disaster relief food!

"My Lord, how much relief food did you bring with you this time?"

The Jinling County Magistrate asked Jiang Chen with a smile on his face.

When the other officials heard this, they put down their chopsticks and looked at Jiang Chen.

"Haha, this time I didn't bring any disaster relief food, but I did bring money given by the court!"

"Besides, don't all the provincial capitals have some money?"

"Why? Can't we buy disaster relief food now?"

Jiang Chen asked with a frown.

"My Lord, you don't know!"

"Nowadays, grain merchants in various parts of Jiangnan are driving up grain prices!"

"Now, the price of grain has risen to one hundred coins!"

"You know, it was only five cents!"

"This... this has grown twenty times. We... we can't afford it!"

The Jinling County Magistrate said this with a painful look on his face.

When the others heard this, their faces were filled with worry.

"Yes, my Lord, we are suffering here!"

"My Lord, you don't know that we are short of food here!"

"Master Hou..."

……

Everyone was chattering.

But Jiang Chen smiled and said, "Haha, it's just some food. When foreign grain merchants arrive in a few days, the price will definitely drop!"

"And even if you don't surrender, I'm not afraid!*

"This time, I brought... brought millions..."

"boom!"

Before Jiang Chen could finish his words, he fell on the table!

"this……!?"

Everyone was stunned as they watched Jiang Chen lie down!

How come Lord Jiang fell down?

He brought millions of what!?

Could it be millions of silver?!

That...that's a huge sum of money!

"The Marquis is drunk, everyone, let's take him back first!"

Xu Meng walked to Jiang Chen, carried Jiang Chen on his back and left.

After Jiang Chen and his group left, all the officials present looked at the Jinling County Magistrate!

"Sir, Lord Jiang, you didn't bring a million taels of silver!"

"Isn't this possible? The imperial court has so much money!"

"It's very likely! Lord Jiang has honeycomb charcoal in his hands, so he is not short of money!"

"Not only that! I also heard that Lord Jiang has something called soap, and it is said that it costs three taels of silver a piece!"

"What!? That's so expensive!"

"Lord Jiang must not be short of money!"

"We...can we make a lot of money this time!?"

Everyone was extremely excited!

They are in collusion with both large and small grain merchants.

Otherwise, how could those grain merchants dare to raise the price twenty times! ?

"Don't worry, everyone. I'll check this matter out first!"

"If Lord Jiang really has so much money, then we... must make money!"

The Jinling County Magistrate said this with excitement!

"Sir, how do you plan to investigate?"

Everyone looked at the Jinling County Magistrate!

"Haha, I heard that Jiang Chen is extremely lustful. Isn't this... difficult to deal with?!"
