I relied on opening a pharmaceutical factory to send a sick friend to the imperial examinations

Shen Yue was immersed in the research of medicinal materials all day long, either in the camp or in the room to study, sometimes even Luo Mu and Shen Yang couldn't find her when she was busy.

The incident happened suddenly, and when County Magistrate Jiang hurried over to find someone, there were only Yun Murou and a few little drug boys in the shop.

"Magistrate Jiang is here looking for us to be the head of the family?" Seeing County Magistrate Jiang anxiously looking around in the pharmacy, Yun Murou asked.

"Yes, Miss Ayue, isn't she in the shop now?" Magistrate Jiang frowned. He went to the camp just now and couldn't find anyone. What's going on.

"We don't know about this. The head of the house often runs around, so it's not convenient for us to ask more."

Hearing the words, County Magistrate Jiang had no choice but to leave first, and was going to go to other places to continue looking for Shen Yue's figure.

It happened to meet Shen Yue who came out from Suyuanzhai.

Shen Yue's gaze was a little bit surprised when she saw County Magistrate Jiang, "Uncle Jiang?"

"Miss Shen?!" County magistrate Jiang also looked very happy to see him, but soon a bit of worry appeared on his face.

Seeing this, Shen Yue's heart was a little bit drummed, could it be that something happened somewhere?

"Is there something important that Uncle Jiang is looking for me?"

"You come with me first." County magistrate Jiang didn't say much, and led Shen Yue to find a quiet place with no one there, and the two of them sat in the pavilion.

"Miss Ah Yue, how is your development of this medicine going?"

From the words of county magistrate Jiang, it's not hard to hear his anxiety.

It's just that the current Shen Yue is also in a state of having more than enough heart but not enough energy, so it's useless to be anxious.

"The reagent is still in the first stage, and it is speeding up, but what happened?"

County magistrate Jiang sighed, and told Shen Yue what he knew.

"The state capital has fallen, and large-scale killings and looting incidents have begun to occur in many towns. The county magistrate of Songyu Town... died in the line of duty... Only Qingshui Town is well-controlled nearby, and has been opening warehouses to release grain. Letters are coming here...if you can't control it..."

Having said that, County Magistrate Jiang's words stopped abruptly, and the expression on his face was replaced by sadness.

Shen Yue also knew what he was worried about. If she couldn't control it, all the refugees would gather in Qingshui Town, causing riots at that time, and the next one to die in the line of duty would be County Magistrate Jiang...

"Uncle Jiang, don't worry, the residents in Qingshui Town will definitely not have any problems. As for the refugees, although I don't have special medicines in my hand, there are still medicines that can relieve symptoms a little."

Even though he said that, magistrate Jiang was still uneasy.

The fall of the state capital cannot be concealed, and now the news has spread, and even the people of Qingshui Town know more or less, which shows how chaotic the outside world is.

If there is a real internal riot, no amount of officers and soldiers will be able to stop it.

This is exactly what Jiang county magistrate was worried about. Although the people in Qingshui Town lived a stable life, if there was a disturbance, he was not sure that he could suppress it.

"Uncle Jiang, now Qingshui Town has you in charge, and our Yiyi Hall is always behind us, everyone knows the situation outside, I believe everyone will definitely not mess around."

For some reason, after receiving Shen Yue's comfort.

County magistrate Jiang felt that his heart was a little more at ease, maybe Shen Yue could always find a suitable way to deal with these matters, so in county magistrate Jiang's mind, he had tacitly accepted that what Shen Yue said was correct.

After the two said goodbye.

Walking on the street, Shen Yue obviously felt a bit of oppressive atmosphere, the common people who had nothing to do, like to get together and chat about family affairs.

But the content of the conversation during this period is not that the parents are short, but this epidemic.

"When did you say that the days of being locked up will be the end?"

"Pull it down, don't you look at the chaos outside? You don't know the blessings in the blessing!"

"Hey, didn't I sigh, I didn't say I really wanted to go out."

The sound of the conversation reached Shen Yue's ears, she also sighed helplessly, and immediately continued to walk to the Yiyi Hall, and went back to develop medicine.

Although the people in Qingshui Town are honest and honest, no one can guarantee that there will be those people with weak bones who will make trouble.

In order to give some comfort to the people of Qingshui Town, the county government decided to open a warehouse in the town to release grain to calm people's hearts.

Unexpectedly, this move actually encouraged some people's bad intentions.

Food is limited, first come first served.

The originally set amount of food could not satisfy the greedy selfish desires of some people at all, and a noisy rush of looting began.

Those who didn't grab it were naturally unwilling, and fought directly at the gate of the county government office, and the scene was chaotic for a while.

It was the city guard who took action and distributed food according to the population, and then it calmed down.

Because of the looting of grain, the price of grain in the entire Qingshui town also increased.

Immediately, the common people were all complaining.

They flocked to the gate of the county government office to complain to magistrate Jiang.

County magistrate Jiang didn't know why, and he was also annoyed when he saw the gate of the county government office surrounded by people asking for food.

Obviously just opened the warehouse to release grain, and the grain distributed has only been distributed for a day, and someone came to ask for grain, so the next step is to directly rebel!

"What's going on?" County Magistrate Jiang asked loudly to the noisy crowd.

"Magistrate Jiang, you must decide for us!"

"Yeah, even the price of food has risen now. We can't afford it, and we can't go in and out. In a few days, we won't even be able to eat enough!"

"That's right, the increase is ten times higher than usual. What you eat is not food but gold!"

Everyone said what I said, and County Magistrate Jiang understood what was going on.

However, he felt that the increase in food prices was somewhat inexplicable.

Ten times the price of food, it is not such a way to raise the price on the ground.

"Don't be restless, everyone. The official will investigate the food problem and give you a satisfactory answer. The imperial court's relief is on the way, and I believe it will arrive in a few days."

County magistrate Jiang still has a high prestige in Qingshui Town, and now that he has said so, the people have no reason to continue to make trouble, and they all resigned.

Jiang county magistrate immediately sent someone to investigate.

Only then did I discover that the ten times the price of grain that the common people said was not just empty talk. Many rice and noodle shops had already started to raise their prices, and the prices were a bit outrageous.

Ten times is considered a small amount, and there are not a few people who buy polished rice at twenty times the price.

But the rice and grain stores can no longer produce much grain, and they take risks to buy from other regions, and the purchase price is ridiculously high, and now the state government granary is no longer sold, and they have no choice.

Now it's county magistrate Jiang's turn to worry, food is the most important thing for the people.

If there is no food, what can't be done?

After several days of research and development by Shen Yue, the Qingwen pill had begun to take shape, the boy had already tried it, and it could curb the rash and cough on his body.

She came to the county government all the time, ready to share this exciting event with county magistrate Jiang.

When Shen Yue saw County Magistrate Jiang, she realized that his head had turned gray overnight, his face was full of sorrow, and it seemed that his mental state was not in a good state.

It's just that the moment he saw himself, magistrate Jiang's eyes, which were still like a pool of stagnant water, immediately lit up.

"Miss Ah Yue! You are here!"

Thinking of Shen Yue's immersion in pharmaceuticals, she might not know about the outside world, so she spoke about the food.

"The county government has not hoarded much food over the years. It may not last for a few days if it continues like this. At that time, people will be easily incited, and riots will happen sooner or later." County magistrate Jiang held his forehead in pain.

He is not afraid, but what about Xiao Wu?What about Ruoshui?

Shen Yue had anticipated the shortage of food, and went to Suyuanzhai that day for this purpose.

Even with the hoarding before, it will not be a problem to last for a few months!

So compared to County Magistrate Jiang's panic, Shen Yue appeared to be much more mature and steady.

He said comfortingly, "Uncle Jiang, don't worry about this. Suyuanzhai has a foresight and has already hoarded a lot of food. The chamber of commerce they belong to has also hoarded it. It will be sold at a normal price at that time. Don't worry, Uncle Jiang."

After finishing speaking, Shen Yue still felt that something was wrong, so she added again, "The food is definitely enough, it won't be a problem to last for a few months, and I hope Uncle Jiang doesn't need to worry, it won't be suitable if he wears down."

For a moment, County Magistrate Jiang couldn't tell what the expression was on his face, and the eight-foot man had the urge to cry.

Shen Yue didn't delay, knowing that if County Magistrate Jiang didn't really see the grain, he would still be concerned about it, so she took people to the chamber of commerce.

County magistrate Jiang looked at the mountains of grain in front of him, and put his heart into his stomach.

"Okay, okay, okay, with this food, the people will not be hungry!"
