The Golden County Magistrate

Tang Yun was stunned, and her cheeks blushed.

It turned out that she had misunderstood what he meant.

"That's fine."

She was a little embarrassed and said vaguely.

Before the Jizhou uprising was resolved, he really couldn't spare any time, and his plan was quite good.

Chen Yan was secretly happy.

He did want to sell the pigs before.

But the Jizhou uprising changed his plan.

Refugees came here, and there was enough food such as rice and flour.

But this was not enough.

He wanted to completely lock their hearts in Qingshan County, so that they would not leave even if they were driven away!

And "meat" is one of the best ways!

In this era, eating meat has always been a big problem for the lower class.

Not to mention that after they became refugees, even before they became refugees, these people, who were mainly farmers, could hardly eat meat.

Having food to eat, clothes to wear, a house to live in, and meat to eat, this kind of well-off life is not available to 99% of the people in the whole Zhou Dynasty. Once they have it, they naturally cannot live without it!

Moreover, only meat can give strength. He wants strong laborers. How can he not let them eat comfortably?

That's why he wanted to take back these pigs.

Of course, he couldn't tell the other party about this plan.

Tang Yun didn't doubt him. After solving this matter, he said, "I still have business in Beijing, so I won't stay here."

Chen Yan didn't think much about it, and nodded, "Then I will take Miss Zhou away."

But Tang Yun didn't move, and still sat there.

Chen Yan waited for a while, and asked curiously, "Aren't you going to leave?"

Tang Yun's jade cheeks flushed lightly, and she bit her lips gently, but didn't speak.

Chen Yan slapped his head: "Oh, is the wound still painful? Qing'er, give that bottle of white medicine to Miss Zhou! Remember to apply it twice a day, not only will the wound heal quickly, but it will not easily leave scars!"

Lu Qing'er nodded, took out the bottle of white medicine and handed it to Li Rui.

The latter hurriedly thanked her, but Tang Yun still sat there without getting up, but the blush on her cheeks deepened.

This time Chen Yan couldn't understand it, and exchanged glances with Lu Qing'er, who was also puzzled.

"Boss?" Li Rui couldn't help it and whispered.

"I... I have something else, Master Chen, about the Yaochi fairy wine..." Tang Yun said, her voice was as low as a mosquito.

"What?" Chen Yan had to get closer.

"You still..." Tang Yun mustered up her courage, but her voice was still as low as a whisper, "Anything else?"

"Ah?" Chen Yan was stunned.

Tang Yun was so embarrassed that her ears turned red. She showed a rare shyness and lowered her head to pinch the corner of her clothes.

If there were any other way, she would never open it!

Ever since she tasted the milk tea that day, she has been thinking about it all the time.

Later, she almost wanted to share some of the two batches of milk tea sent to the capital.

But thinking that it was for disaster relief, she could only bear it and didn't touch it again.

In fact, one of the most important reasons why she decided to come to Qingshan County in person this time was that she couldn't hold it back.

I am the empress of the Great Zhou Dynasty, what's wrong with drinking some Yaochi fairy wine!

But even if she thought so, she was still a little embarrassed.

As the emperor, it was inevitable that she was a little embarrassed to ask for it for a mere appetite.

Chen Yan came back to his senses after a while and laughed: "Miss Zhou asked, how can I disappoint you? Qing'er, go and get the two barrels of Yaochi fairy wine that I kept for myself and give them to Miss Zhou!"

Tang Yun was overjoyed: "Give it to me? Really?"

She originally wanted to buy some, and it would be fine if she paid 500 taels of silver per barrel.

But she didn't expect this guy to be so generous as to give it directly, and two barrels at that!

Chen Yan said sincerely: "Miss Zhou and I have a different relationship, let alone two barrels. If you want to drink in the future, just ask me!"

Although he is greedy for money, he is never stingy.

Doing business is about human relations.

The other party has signed several big deals with him, and even got the salt and iron business rights, and has been listed as a long-term strategic partner by him.

He will never be polite when it is time to cut the other party's flesh, but he will never be stingy when it is time to improve the relationship between the two sides.

What's more, the production cost of a bucket of milk tea is only about five taels of silver. That bucket is more valuable than the milk tea itself. Why not pay such a small price to get the other party's touch and goodwill?

Soon, Lu Qing'er brought two buckets of milk tea.

"Thank you very much!"

Tang Yun was so happy that she almost couldn't help but open it and drink it immediately, but she still held back and told another Fengling Guard to take it.

Looking at her happy look, Chen Yan was a little emotional.

It seems that girls from any era or place are the same, and they are really immune to milk tea.

After packing up, Chen Yan personally sent Tang Yun and others out of the county government.

After getting on the horse, Tang YunJust as she was about to say goodbye and leave, she stopped.

"I have a question that I want to ask Lord Chen." She pondered for a moment, and finally couldn't help but say it.

"Miss Zhou, please ask whatever you want, I will answer all the questions I know." Chen Yan said straightforwardly.

"Since Lord Chen has a way to get through Tianxuan Mountain, why don't you report it to the court and make a great contribution?" Tang Yun stared at him with her beautiful eyes.

"Miss Zhou, is this your first day out? If I report this method, I guarantee that the credit that will fall on me in the end will be only one in ten!" Chen Yan was amused.

"How could it be?" Tang Yun was puzzled.

Chen Yan thought to himself that I know all the ways to take credit in the officialdom!

But he didn't want to say more about this, so he just said: "I guessed it, Miss Zhou, take care."

Tang Yun had no choice but to say goodbye, drove the horse all the way, and left the county.

When she was not far from the city gate, she pulled the reins and said anxiously: "Hurry!"

Li Rui was surprised and said: "Boss, what do you mean by hurry?"

Tang Yun said anxiously: "Hurry up and open the Yaochi fairy wine, I want to drink a few sips first!"

All the Fengling Guards looked at each other in astonishment.

Is it really that urgent?

...

Two days later, the border of Longzhou.

On a high peak, more than a dozen riders stopped their horses and looked at the crowd below the mountain from afar.

The leader was in his forties, with a square face and quite majestic.

This person was Zhao Changhe, the governor of Longzhou.

At the foot of the mountain were refugees from Jizhou, tens of thousands of people, who were slowly moving southward at this time.

In just half a day, this group of refugees would reach Wuyin City, the capital of Longzhou.

This is the number of people that Wuyin City estimated that it could not accommodate!

Once the refugees arrived there, the consequences would be disastrous.

Not only for the people of Wuyin, but also for him, Zhao Changhe.

He had heard that many officials who handled the refugees improperly along the way had been dismissed!

"Sir, these refugees are damnable. I will immediately have them driven out of Longzhou!"

A military officer beside Zhao Changhe said in a deep voice.

"We can't drive them away." Zhao Changhe shook his head.

This hot potato can't be accepted, but it's not okay to drive them away.

These refugees are people wandering on the edge of the gates of hell, and they are complete desperate people.

Among the dismissed officials, several were because they could not accept the refugees, so they sent the government troops to drive them away. As a result, the two sides clashed and many people were killed and injured.

With the lessons learned from the past, if he still did that, it would be too stupid.

"We can't drive them away or accept them, so what should we do?" The military officer said distressedly.

"There is a third way." Zhao Changhe's eyes flashed with gloom, "This prefecture has sent people to dismantle all the bridges on the Long River, and even the boatmen are driven away. These refugees want to cross the river now, there is only one way to go!"
