After time travel, my best friend and I exchanged supplies and became a rich woman

Two days later, Chen Dongyue got the news about Ma Jingcheng, saying that Shen Wanfu got the news when his brother-in-law was arrested and ran away early.

When the arresters went to arrest him, Shen Wanfu had already run away with his whole family.

However, the captors chased for two days and finally captured Shen Wanfu's family at the junction of Nanzhou and Liaozhou.

The bad news is that Shen Wanfu escaped during the chaos.

Ma Jingcheng has sent seven or eight detectives to pursue him in Nanzhou, hoping to capture him as soon as possible.

The good news is that most of the Shen family's money belongs to Shen Wanfu's daughter-in-law, Shen Jia, and her eldest son Shen Kui.

After counting, excluding real estate and acres, Shen Jiaguang had more than 8,000 taels in cash and banknotes.

This does not include the gold and silver that everyone in the Shen family has on their bodies.

The second-in-command of a small inspection department, who was not even a low-ranking official, actually had so much cash, which made the detectives handling the case shout that they did not expect it.

And the money found from the Jia family was even more.

Ma Jingcheng would definitely not tell Chen Dongyue how much it was.

After all, she is just a reporter and witness at best, and is not the official organizing the case, so it is not her turn to explain the details of the case.

But as Ma Jingcheng said, the Jia family was more than ten times richer than the Shen family. Chen Dongyue could roughly know how rich the Jia Zhongcheng family was.

To be honest, the wealth of the Jia family not only surprised the arresters who searched.

Even Magistrate Meng and Master Sun didn't expect that a small ninth-grade Zhima official could accumulate so much wealth.

In addition, after counting by several squads of government officials, the existing grain in the Xingmin warehouse was less than three thousand dan! !

There is a total of fifty-six thousand dan in the granary account book!

Jia Zhongcheng was so brave that he almost used Changpingcang in Liaozhou as his own granary.

Then think of the more than 80,000 taels of cash found in this man's house, his five-bedroom house, and thousands of acres of farmland...

Prefect Meng knew without even thinking how much money Jia Zhongcheng had made during the more than ten years he had managed Xingmincang.

Although the man surnamed Jia said during his trial that he was prepared to sell high and buy low, and when the wheat harvest comes this year, he will replenish all the grain sold in the granary.

But who can believe this? !

So Magistrate Meng and Lord Sun made a quick decision, slipped Jia Zhongcheng out of the cell again, and beat him up...

After beating the man, Mr. Sun still cried loudly to Magistrate Meng for two whole hours.

Mr. Sun said that his subordinates were incompetent. Although he was innocent, it was because the people under him often got into trouble.

He knew that there was no point in coming here. He said that he was going to go to the Ministry of Personnel to resign after the Jia Zhongcheng case was settled.

Prefect Meng knew that Sun Hanwen would definitely not resign, but he did not dare to take the risk.

What if this guy is really crazy, resigns, and exposes the Xingmincang incident?

What awaits Magistrate Meng is an endless list of petitions and an unknown political enemy stabbing him in the back.

So he still said that if the problem can be solved in the government office, don't go to the capital to report it.

So Magistrate Meng could only console Mr. Sun with a few words, telling him not to say anything about resigning. The people of Liaozhou could not live without him, Sun Tongzhi.

The most important thing now is to quickly ask about the trend of grain prices this year.

Since the money has been confiscated from every house, if the food price is right, we have to quickly and secretly fix the food price to avoid long nights and dreams.

Master Sun saw that Magistrate Meng did not want to dwell on this matter, so he relaxed and concentrated on raising food.

You really have been an official for a long time, and you can encounter anything.

Master Sun has been an official for almost thirty years since becoming a Jinshi.

He never expected that he would actually spend money to make up for the government's shortfall in the granary...

Really TND, so unlucky.

.........

But it’s no use feeling unlucky.

In order to keep his job, which is now missing a corner, Mr. Sun visited three major grain merchants in Liaozhou Prefecture and inquired about the expected winter wheat harvest this year.

All three grain merchants said that this year, although the weather was too cold during the winter, the wheat harvest would take ten and a half days later than before.

But this output, based on the current situation, is still relatively optimistic.

As for the price...if there are no natural or man-made disasters in the future, the purchase price of one stone of wheat may be around three or four denarii.

However, we have to look at the wheat production of each prefecture to know the specific details.

The price of food is more than half lower than last year.

Mr. Sun made a quick decision and immediately ordered 20,000 shi of grain from three grain merchants.

The three grain merchants were so frightened that they did not dare to accept the order. They were afraid that Mr. Sun would break the pot after he was demoted, so they even started selling grain.

My colleagues have already started working as grain merchants, so what the hell are they doing?

But Mr. Sun repeatedly promised that his family had a large population and he bought 60,000 shi of grain just for his own food.

The grain merchant suspected that Sun Tongzhi looked down on their intelligence.

You can eat 60,000 stone grains by yourself. Unless the Sun family can have an army of 30,000 people, it is impossible to eat 60,000 stone grains no matter how you eat.

They still dare not sell it.

Until Mr. Sun almost fell out and asked where the grain they sold last year came from.

The three grain merchants all agreed in an instant to help Mr. Sun order grain.

Although Xingmin Warehouse was almost emptied by Jia Zhongcheng, the grain merchants did not know.

But these grain merchants know exactly where part of the grain they sold last year came from.

Grain merchants have long heard about Jia Zhongcheng's arrest.

Naturally, they were also afraid that this matter would involve them.

So they promised Mr. Sun that they would try to help him collect grain at the lowest price.

But the grain they sold last year was all old grain that had been hoarded in previous years. Master Sun must explain this to the magistrate.

Sun Tongzhi didn't say yes or no, he just said let these grain merchants take care of themselves, and then he walked away.

In short, everyone seems to be working on Jia Zhongcheng's case.

But almost everyone wants to get things over with as quickly as possible.

Foolishness is probably the most prosperous school in Liaozhou.

........

Two months passed.

The 60,000 shi of grain ordered by Mr. Sun were successively delivered to Xingmincang from various places.

After getting the news, Chen Dongyue specially sent Kong Jie to check whether Mr. Sun was fooling anyone.

The miserable Kong Jie didn't know why, but before his hand was severed, he had to go back and forth to do things for Song Ke.

After losing his hand, he still had to run errands for Chen Dongyue.

They probably owed it to their parents-in-law in the previous life, Kong Jie thought.

Fortunately, what Mr. Sun did this time was quite reliable.

Wheat is indeed new wheat.

And the warehouses are full.

Sixty thousand shi of grain is just a little more.

"Very good." Chen Dongyue, who was inspecting her own land, nodded with satisfaction after receiving the news, "Inside and outside, Xingmin warehouse has several thousand more dan of grain.

Kong Jie, you said that we have been busy working on this matter, right? "

"..." Kong Jie thought to himself, I was busy before and after running, right? !

You’ve only been there once, so it’s considered a lot of work? !

But that's what he was thinking in his heart, but he only dared to reply, "Well, I'm quite busy."

"Then I'll ask Mr. Sun tomorrow for a hundred stones of wheat to support Ci'an Hall. Isn't it too much?" Chen Dongyue seemed to be seeking Kong Jie's opinion.

But Kong Jie knew in his heart that his sister-in-law must have already thought about it and wanted to go to the government office to get the wool.

Ask him now, just to get an affirmative answer.

But my sister-in-law is right. Ci'an Hall has more people now, and it does need food.

One hundred stones...wait, take less?

One hundred stones? !

"One hundred stones?!" Kong Jie looked at Chen Dongyue with his eyes widened.

Chen Dongyue nodded seriously, and then asked doubtfully: "Is it too little? I'm a little embarrassed to ask for a thousand stones... After all, Mr. Sun is said to have paid a lot of money."

"...Sister-in-law, can you please stop joking?" Kong Jie said with a look of despair.

"Are you really going to ask for a thousand stones?" Chen Dongyue looked very serious.

"Sister-in-law, don't you know how much food can be obtained from one stone?!" Kong Jie said suspiciously.

"I know, I know," Chen Dongyue answered vaguely, "But I don't know too much."

In fact, I just don’t know.
