Crossing the old lady of the farm gate

Chapter 188 Flood Disaster 2
As soon as Ding Wenxuan finished speaking, a middle-aged man with a long beard ran over quickly.

"Master Ding, because of this flood, the town is far away from the river, so it has not been affected. Many grain merchants have raised the price of grain. Even if the people have some spare money, they still can't afford much grain."

Ding Wenxuan looked at the person angrily, "When did this happen? Why didn't anyone mention it when I came out?"

"My lord, this happened not long ago. Many villages had no time to collect food due to floods. They only brought some spare money in their hands. They wanted to buy food, but they were told that the price of food had increased."

"These businessmen are really mercenary enough, and they dare to make such kind of national calamity."

"How much food we have brought over, we will distribute it to the common people first, and try our best to distribute it to the places that are more severely affected by the disaster."

"My lord, even if we distribute all the food we brought over, it won't be enough."

"Not enough, first try to cook as much porridge as possible and persevere. I will apply for more food from above."

Chen Yu interjected appropriately: "My lord, I still have a batch of grain in my hand, or else I'll transport it to you from home first, to relieve your emergency first, like you apply for grain from above, it should also take a while." Time."

Ding Wenxuan thought about it for the same reason. Even if he applied immediately, it would take a while for the food to arrive, and he didn't know how much he could apply for.

"Master Chen, I'll trouble you first, and I owe you a favor."

"It's okay, I'm happy to do what I can for the people."

"Second brother, you go back now and ask them to bring over all the grain you bought at home."

Ding Wenxuan looked at Chen Yu and said, "Master Chen, how much food does your family have?"

"There is a lot of food at home, because some time ago, my wife suddenly wanted to open a dim sum shop and make some rice cakes. She bought a lot of food and hoarded it all at home."

Ding Wenxuan was a little surprised, he didn't expect such a coincidence.In fact, it's not that he hasn't thought about why Chen Yu and his family are hoarding so much food.Could it be that he wants to make money in the country like those businessmen, but it’s wrong to think about it. If he wants to make money in the country like those businessmen, he must mention money. Now he didn’t even say how much the food cost, it should be regarded as a donation Bar.

"Master Chen, for such a good deed as you have done, I will definitely apply for a reward from above, and I will definitely teach them a lesson like the grain merchants here. It is really a conscience to send this kind of national calamity. They were all eaten by dogs."

"Master Ding, we don't care if we are rewarded or not, it's just that we happen to be able to help out."

"Master Ding, we brought some food with us when we came here. Let's see if it can be of any help, because there were only two ox carts when we came here, and not many can be brought here for you."

"It's okay, as much as you have, it's better than nothing."

In the afternoon, Gao Ze also rushed over from Qingyuan County, and he also knew something about the magistrate of Zhoushui County.

Ding Wenxuan looked at Gao Ze and said, "I really want to thank you for reminding me about this matter. If you hadn't reminded me, there must be more people suffering from floods than now. I have already put him in jail by the magistrate of Shui County this week." , wait for the matter to be dealt with before waiting to be dealt with."

"My lord, these are what I should do. It's a pity that I'm not the magistrate of Zhoushui County. I'm only on the same level as the magistrate of Zhoushui County. Reminding him won't do much. Somewhat uneasy."
