Chapter 239 Drought aggravates 2

   "You're going to see the outside world. Even if it doesn't happen, there will still be refugees coming here. It's just a matter of time." Dr. Kong helped him up.

   Then he pinched his brows and said, "But to be honest, the drought is getting worse and worse, and there are already many wealthy households in the county planning to seek refuge in the south.

   The days ahead are really tough, so be careful. "

   "Yes, then do you take care of those people, or do we take care of them?"

   "Well, you go back and look after them first. I will discuss with other officials in the county in the evening. No matter what the result is, I will give you a letter of approval tomorrow."

   "Okay, I made you worry." Gu Chengrui said here, took out two small porcelain bottles from the medicine box and handed them to him: "One bottle is for relieving fatigue, and the other is for heatstroke prevention, you keep it as a spare."

   "Then I'm welcome." Magistrate Kong took over with a smile.

   then ordered him two more sentences.

   Gu Chengrui responded and turned around and left the county office.

   After coming out, I deliberately went to the shopping street and bought some medicinal materials.

   When I went back and passed by the bank, I found that there were quite a lot of people going in and out. I went up to inquire and found out that many people were exchanging silver taels or bank notes.

   also heard that there are really many people planning to go south.

   Going further, there are also a lot of people in the grain shop, but now it is sold in limited quantities, and each household can only buy five catties of grain per day.

   Then he saw that the cloth house was still selling at 30% off. He went in and bought 20 batches of fine cotton cloth, three batches of silk cloth, and some needles and threads, which he put on the carriage.

   When I was about to leave the county, I heard someone shouting: "The leather is sold at half price, half price leather, don't miss it when you pass by, there will be no such shop after this village."

   Gu Chengrui walked over and took a look at the skins, most of them were sheepskins and rabbit skins, and immediately lost interest. There are many of these things in the space.

   When the young man saw that he was leaving, he immediately stopped him with a smile and said, "Don't go, guest, what kind of leather do you want, we have a lot in our shop, you must be satisfied."

   "You're in a hurry to sell, and you're going to close?" Gu Chengrui stopped and asked.

   "Yes, business is not good now, the boss wants to go south, so..."

   "Understood, then do you have any good skins here?"

   "Good leather? What leather do you want, see if we have it here?"

   "Mink, fox."

   The little guy knew that he was a big family when he heard it, and he nodded with joy and said, "I don't have mink skins, that skins are so precious that they were taken away by dignitaries.

   But we have four red fox skins here. It's good to make a cape. Would you like to take a look. "

   "Okay, I won't go in if I have a carriage, you can help me take it out."

   "Wait a moment." After the boy finished speaking, he turned around and ran into the shop. After a while, he ran out carrying two leathers, followed by a middle-aged man with two leathers in his hands.

  Gu Chengrui took it over and took a look. The skins are all adult fox skins. The hair of the skins is very smooth and smooth, and the skins are very complete.

   then asked: "How much silver is this leather, if it is suitable, I will have it?"

   "Twenty taels do not bargain." The middle-aged man said.

   At the same time, the young man opened his mouth, and swallowed the words when he reached his mouth, but it was not difficult to see from his subsequent disdainful expression that the price of this leather was expensive.

   Seeing this, Gu Chengrui returned the leather to the middle-aged man and said, "Then you should keep it yourself, it's not cheaper than usual."
