Phi-Fic Chapter 161 Famine
Chapter 161 Famine
As soon as the Shen family's carriage arrived outside the city gate, they saw Jin Qianduo waiting there with Jin Youqian.
Shen Lao San immediately asked Qingsong to stop the carriage. The Shen family got off the carriage, and Jin Qianduo immediately stepped forward:
"Brother Shen, I heard that you were going to southern Yunnan, so I came here with money to see you off."
Although the Shen family is now disliked by the emperor, they are still grateful to Jin Qianduo and his only son for saving their lives.
A person with a lot of money is not a heartless or ungrateful person, he comes here specially to see you off.
Jin Qianduo originally wanted to give 30% of the Jin family's shares to the Shen family, but now is not the right time. If he gave the Jin family's shares to the Shen family now, it would not be a gift but a death warrant.
Shen Laosan didn't expect Jinqianduo to come and see him off. Although Jinqianduo was the richest man in Daqian, he was just a merchant.
The Shen family has offended Prince Zhuang and Grand Tutor Pang, who have the power to do whatever they want. With so much money being given to them, aren't they afraid that Prince Zhuang will find out and suppress them?
Jin Qianduo understood Shen Laosan's concerns and was about to speak when he saw Shen Mingzhu get out of the car.
He immediately stepped forward and said with a smile: "Miss Mingzhu, I wish you a safe journey and a speedy return."
Then, Jin Qianduo took out a purse and handed it to Shen Mingzhu.
"This is the seal of my bank. As long as Miss Mingzhu has this seal, she can allocate one-third of the deposits in the bank."
Shen Mingzhu was stunned. With so much money, was this giving her shares in the bank?
Why give her so many shares if she has so much money?
The surprise was so huge that Shen Mingzhu was a little confused.
Although she likes money very much, she would not accept such a big gift for no reason.
Jin Qianduo saw what Shen Mingzhu was thinking and said with a smile:
"Can I call you Mingzhu? After taking your diet pills, I lost a lot of weight and it's easier for me to walk. This is my thank you gift."
Shen Mingzhu blinked and said, "Uncle Jin, didn't I always ask you to call me Mingzhu? Your thank-you gift is too big, I can't accept it."
"You've given us enough."
Although Shen Mingzhu wanted it very much, she couldn't accept it!
Isn't it said that businessmen are very smart? Isn't this person with the most money the richest man in Daqian?
How come the richest man in Daqian is so honest?
Shen Mingzhu couldn't refuse the money, so he stuffed the seal into her hand:
"Mingzhu, don't refuse yet. The place you are going to is the poorest county in Daqian. Not only that, there are constant natural disasters there, and we are in urgent need of a lot of food and money."
"As the head of a county, your father cannot watch the people starve to death. Consider this money as a loan from me to you. You can return it to me later."
After Qian Jinduo finished speaking, he walked to Shen Laosan and generously stuffed a stack of silver notes into Shen Laosan's hand: "Brother Shen, these are the agendas I gave you, Brother Shen, don't refuse."
"Brother Shen, don't worry. My sister is still quite favored in the palace. They won't touch me for the time being."
Then, Jin Qianduo and Jin Youqian rode on their horses and bowed to Shen Lao San:
"Brother Shen, I will wait for you to return triumphantly. When the time comes, you must be my backer!"
Shen Lao San bowed to Jin Qianduo and said, "Thank you for your sincere treatment, Brother Jin. Shen Ruhai will remember Brother Jin's kindness. When the time comes, I will definitely come back to drink and chat with Brother Jin."
Jin Qian gave him an extra gift in return, and with a "go!" he mounted his horse and rode away.
Shen Mingzhu and Shen Laosan looked at the backs of Jin Qianduo and his son, feeling very complicated. Shen Laosan said to Shen Mingzhu:
"Zhuzhu, true friendship is revealed in times of trouble. Your uncle Jin is truly a man of character."
“We must remember his kindness.”
Shen Mingzhu sat in the car, looking at the golden seal with gold characters on it.
He is worthy of being a wealthy man with so much money that even his seal is made of gold. However, when Shen Mingzhu looked at the glittering golden seal, she felt a little sad.
She saved a lot of money in the beginning, not out of kindness, but because of the system's prompt.
But they didn't expect that Jin Qianduo risked his life to give them the gift, and also gave such a big gift for her father's future.
Well, if I have the chance in the future, I will repay you with a lot of money.
Shen Mingzhu is not a saint, but she knows what is good and what is bad. If others are kind to her, she will treat them sincerely.
She is a person who repays kindness with kindness and takes revenge with revenge.
In the palace, the emperor looked at the Duke of Zhenguo and sighed in his heart that the Duke of Zhenguo would actually hand over the military power to that little girl Shen Mingzhu.
The Duke of Zhenguo came to confess his crime. He knew that nothing in the world could be hidden from the emperor, so it would be better for him to report the matter of the military token first.
The emperor remained silent for a long time, and thought of what the imperial teacher had said.
Just when the Duke of Zhenguo was about to fall, the Emperor had someone bring a seat for him, and asked Eunuch An to send someone to call the Imperial Master over.
"So, the Duke's wife's eyesight has recovered?"
"Yes, on the day of recognition, my wife's eyes suddenly got better."
In order to protect Shen Mingzhu, the Duke of Zhenguo did not tell anyone about the elixir that Shen Mingzhu had given him.
The emperor was silent for a moment, then smiled and said, "That's good, that's good. The Duke has found his long-lost daughter, and the Duke's wife's eyes have miraculously recovered. This is really a great joy!"
"Your Majesty is blessed with great fortune, and I am the one who has benefited from your good fortune."
The Duke of Zhenguo's words made the emperor laugh out loud. At this time, the imperial teacher walked in.
He first paid his respects to the emperor and then greeted the Duke of Zhenguo.
When the Imperial Master saw the Duke of Zhenguo, he was stunned. After a long while, he asked:
"Duke Zhenguo, has the Duke's wife's eyes recovered?"
The Duke of Zhenguo was surprised and asked, "How did the State Master know this?"
The Imperial Master smiled and said, "It seems that the destined person has arrived, and the Duke of Zhenguo's blessing has also arrived."
Before the Duke of Zhenguo could speak, the Imperial Master bowed to the Emperor:
"Congratulations, Your Majesty. Congratulations, Your Majesty. Your lucky star has arrived."
"Well, I won't pursue the matter of the military token. Duke Zhenguo, you can go back first!"
Before the Duke of Zhenguo could understand what was going on, he was driven out by the emperor.
He looked at the Golden Palace with a confused look on his face, and then returned to the Duke's Mansion happily.
Shen Mingzhu They traveled very fast along the way. After all, they had to reach southern Yunnan within the time set by the emperor.
Along the way, they did not dare to delay and sped up their journey, especially with the help of her Ferghana horse, they reached the southern Yunnan border in just over a month.
As soon as she arrived at the southern Yunnan border, Shen Mingzhu realized that the climate here was very different from that in the north.
It's surprisingly hot here.
It’s strange. Southern Yunnan is in the southwest, just a little hotter than their hometown Wanxian, but why is it so hot?
As soon as they arrived at the southern Yunnan border, they saw the sun was high in the sky, and the grass on the ground was dry and cracked. It was obvious that the crops in the farmland had not been watered for a long time and were about to be killed by the sun.
When Shen Laosan saw this scene, he was worried.
Pushuang County, where they were going, was the worst-hit area in the entire southern Yunnan Prefecture.
Since the southern Yunnan border is already like this, wouldn’t Pu Shuang County be even worse?
Shen Laosan rushed to the provincial capital of Southern Yunnan with a nervous mood.
On the other side, Mrs. Shen rushed to the capital under the escort of her guards.
The transfer orders for the old man and his third son came down. According to County Magistrate Wen, the third son was assigned to a remote county as a magistrate, and the old man was assigned to the Imperial College as a teacher.
Old Mrs. Shen took her people and rushed to the capital.
Old man Shen is confused and not very smart. He might not even know that someone is plotting against him in the capital. She has to supervise the old man.
