"Master Li, can we just sit idle and not rescue the people who are affected by the disaster?"
In the backyard of the Hepu County Government Office, Zhu Biao asked Li Jin anxiously:
"Those people are going to starve to death soon. If this continues, the Emperor will skin us!"
Li Jin looked indifferent and said:
"Why are you so anxious?"
"Don't you see that I'm ready to open a warehouse to stock up on grain?"
"That food is simply not enough for these people."
Zhu Biao did not agree with what Li Jin said at all and questioned loudly:
"The people are already in such hardship, yet you actually want to invite businessmen in the city to eat, drink and have fun with them in a brothel tonight."
"Master Li, if this matter is known to the emperor, we will all be miserable and go away in vain."
Just a few days ago, Li Jinjiu occupied the Magpie Nest and wiped out all the bandit gangs that were originally entrenched in the county government.
Then Li Jin began to live in the county government office, and he seemed to regard Hepu as the capital of Qinzhou, and seemed not to leave again.
However, the most serious disaster in Hepu County is the flood disaster, and the victims caused by the disaster are all over Hepu County, making the originally peaceful county become like a hell on earth.
There were people starving to death everywhere, as well as groups of people begging for a living.
Zhu Benbin thought Li Jin would have a good way to solve the problem, but three days later, Li Jin did nothing and only enjoyed himself in the government office.
He even thought it was boring to have fun alone, so he actually invited wealthy businessmen in the city to go to a brothel to have fun together tonight.
This move made Zhu Biao so angry that he immediately came to Li Jin to discuss countermeasures.
However, Li Jin had his own ideas and did not respond to Zhu Biao's question. Instead, he sent Zhu Biao to rescue the victims first.
As for himself, he started to leave for the brothel.
...
Yihongyuan is the most popular brothel in Hepu County, and the consumption is naturally not low.
As the prefect, Li Jin invited several wealthy businessmen in the county to have dinner and entertainment. Naturally, it was impossible for Li to withdraw money.
However, this money is of no concern to these businessmen, and they are even very willing to buy and sell this money for Li.
This is called human nature. After all, only when you give up can you gain, and when you come, can you go.
Favors come and go, and harmony brings wealth. This is the wisdom of Ming businessmen.
When Li Jin walked into Yihongyuan, several businessmen who had been invited were all present, and the most superior private rooms were reserved, waiting for Li Jin's arrival.
Seeing that others had already made arrangements, Li Jin was not polite and walked directly to the third floor to the private room.
After Li Jin sat down, several people introduced each other and exchanged a few words, and they began to get acquainted with each other, and then they drank and drank, and the atmosphere on the court continued to be warm.
These people were all veterans in the business world, so they naturally flattered Li Jin, making Li Jin feel very uncomfortable when they photographed them.
After having enough wine and food, Li Jin put down his chopsticks and coughed twice.
Everyone knew that the main event was finally coming.
After all, everyone knows that Li Jin cannot invite everyone to dinner for no reason. There must be something to discuss.
And what it is, several people have guesses in their minds, and they have just discussed this matter together. It is nothing more than borrowing food to help the victims.
Although several of them are wealthy businessmen, even big landowners, but again, the landowners' families don't have much food left.
But Li Jin is also the prefect after all, so he must give Li Jin some face.
Everyone discussed in private and decided that if Li Jin really opened his mouth, then everyone would give Li Jin a face, and each family would donate fifty dan of food. Together, it would be 300 dan.
It's not too small, at least it's enough for Li Jin to last ten days and a half. If it's more, it will definitely be gone.
Everyone looked at Li Jin and waited for Li Jin to ask for food. Several people agreed in unison, but no one donated fifty dan.
But what Li Jin said next surprised everyone.
No one expected that the first thing a new official would do when he takes office would be to burn these people's heads.
