Absolutely! My maid was reborn after time travel

Chapter 57 Arriving at Fuguang County smoothly

Du Yunkui and the little thin man looked at each other, and then took out a gold ingot and a letter from his arms.

"Ms. Shen, this is the evidence of our transaction."

Shen Qinglan took these two things, opened the letter and saw that it was indeed Meng Jingming! This guy was stupid enough to look for them twice.

"Mr. Meng said that if we don't do our job well this time, we will take the officers and soldiers to the mountains to suppress the bandits, so we don't dare to be careless. If we offend someone, please forgive me, Miss Shen," said the little thin man.

"It's better to dissolve enemies than to make enemies. We can't get acquainted without fighting."

Facing this group of bandits, Shen Qinglan could only think of words from martial arts novels.

Du Yunkui avoided her gaze, looking a little guilty, "Since Miss Shen is so generous and generous, I, Qiyazhai, are also willing to make friends with Miss Shen."

Shen Qinglan smiled and said, "Okay, what a gentleman has to say."

Du Yunkui was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then responded: "It's hard to chase a horse!"

This little lady actually called him a gentleman!

It's simply incredible.

No one in this life has ever said such a thing to him.

But Shen Qinglan didn't think so. She even thought that people in the world should talk like this. But Du Yunkui seemed a little excited?

"Brother Du, we have important matters to attend to, so we won't bother you."

"Bon Voyage."

After a strange "robbery", Shen Qinglan and his party finally entered Fuguang County.

It was already afternoon. The two brothers Zhou Dashan and Zhou Dahe searched for a long time before they found a decent inn and asked people to send all their luggage there.

Although today's Fuguang County is not full of hungry people, it is full of skinny people, regardless of age or sex.

On the street, a once famous country squire was reduced to having no fixed abode.

Seeing this scene, Shen Qinglan and Yan'er couldn't help but blush. Zhou Dashan gave away all his rations and would rather go hungry.

Standing on the street, Shen Qinglan couldn't help but sigh: "It's been almost a year since the flood, why are the people here still like this? I thought the county would be better, but now it seems that there is probably no one in the village."

"Yes..." Zhou Dashan is a sentimental guy. He wiped away his tears and asked, "Miss, what should we do next?"

"You will take the squire to the inn later. I have something to ask him."

"yes."

After saying that, Shen Qinglan turned around and walked towards the inn, and everyone followed immediately.

"Miss, why are you asking him? Couldn't we just ask the magistrate of Fuguang County directly?" Yan'er asked.

"Rich businessmen have ended up in this situation, presumably because of their kindness and helping too many people. If he had only been in self-preservation, he would not have been like this for only a year." Shen Qinglan replied.

"So the lady wants to help him?"

"Well, helping him is also helping yourself."

Yan'er still doesn't understand, but it's always right to listen to the lady.

Not long after returning to the inn, Shen Qinglan had just washed his face when Zhou Dashan brought him over.

Shen Qinglan was also very polite. She saluted him first and then said, "Hello, sir."

The old gentleman was in low spirits and depressed. He did not raise his head to look straight in the face, but only asked: "I wonder why this young lady called me here?"

"Old sir, I am Shen Qinglan, the legitimate daughter of the Shen family in Luoping City. I have been ordered by the emperor to come to Fuguang County to provide disaster relief. Since I have just arrived and I am not familiar with the place, I would like to ask for more advice, sir." Shen Qinglan first reported her family name to avoid unnecessary trouble. The other party has doubts.

As soon as he heard the words "Shen family in Luoping City", the old man suddenly raised his eyes and looked at her, his muddy eyes filled with tears.

"Really? Are the Shen family willing to help the victims of the disaster in Fuguang County get through this difficult time?"

"certainly."

Shen Qinglan smiled and said, "Mr., please sit down first."

Yan'er and Zhou Dashan helped the old man sit down, and Shen Qinglan continued: "The main purpose of our visit this time is to inquire about the disaster situation in the three counties of Fuguang County, Qingyou County, and Hejin County. We have calculated the number of people and the number of people affected by the disaster. We will send letters to the Shen family for needed items, and my family will help purchase them. After the situation stabilizes, if the victims want to farm again or do business, they can also cooperate with our Shen family. Please also The old gentleman believed me and told me the truth."

"The Shen family is an imperial merchant and has gained a good reputation over the years. Our Situ family has had business dealings with the Shen family before," the old man said.

"That's great, I didn't expect to meet business partners here." Shen Qinglan smiled.

Mr. Situ first cupped his fists and bowed to Shen Qinglan, then sighed, "The total number of victims in these three counties is probably close to 200,000."

"So many?" Yan'er exclaimed.

…

The next day, Shen Qinglan brought Yan'er and Ji Fan to the county government office, while Zhou Dashan and Zhou Dahe set off back to Luoping City with Shen Qinglan's souvenir.

When she saw Cheng Guanwen, the magistrate of Fuguang County, Yan'er snorted: "This guy is both white and fat."

"See the county magistrate." Shen Qinglan said.

"Who are you here? Why don't you kneel down when you see me?" Cheng Guanwen scolded, and then he was going to judge the crime, "Come here, let these unruly people..."

Shen Qinglan unhurriedly took out the imperial edict from the package in Yan'er's arms and held it high. Upon seeing this, Magistrate Cheng hurriedly stood up.

"Ji Fan, read this imperial edict to the magistrate."

Ji Fan took the imperial edict and read it exactly as it was. Magistrate Cheng immediately changed his face after hearing it.

"It turns out to be the imperial envoy. I didn't greet you, please forgive me."

"I don't have an official status, and I am just a member of my daughter's family. The county magistrate said this, which really offends me."

This guy, at first glance, is a good at flattering people.

"Yes, yes, I made a mistake. Please ask Miss Shen to move."

County Magistrate Cheng took them to the reception hall of the county government office and ordered people to serve tea. He was smiling the whole time, as if he had seen someone being taken advantage of, and showed no sign of concern for the people.

"Miss Shen, I don't know how to provide disaster relief?" Magistrate Cheng asked.

Shen Qinglan put down the tea cup and without answering the question, he praised first: "This tea is good."

"The Shen family is the richest businessman in the imperial family. It's hard for you to think highly of them."

"County Magistrate Cheng, you are the official of one parent, and I am just here to rescue. Is it possible that the county magistrate still wants to ask me about how to provide disaster relief?"

Magistrate Cheng's smile froze on his face, "This... I don't know how far the mansion will go in terms of disaster relief that Miss Shen mentioned."

"Hasn't the county magistrate investigated the disaster-stricken population in Fuguang County?"

"This should be no less than 150,000..."

This guy can actually exaggerate to this extent!

Yan'er couldn't help complaining, "Fuguang County used to be a well-known rich county in Luoping. It's been so long since the floods have passed, but there are still 150,000 victims? With so many victims here, the county magistrate is very mellow."
