Ming Dynasty: Cured The Emperor's Grandson At The Beginning, And Relied On Science And Engineer

Chapter 696: He Speaks Sincerely And Makes A Special Trip To Sell Food!

After returning to the capital, Su Ran had someone prepare a carriage and drove straight to the grain store outside the south gate.

At this time, the grain store had been closed for rest, obviously out of business.

"Bah bang bang..." Su Ran knocked on the door of the grain store.

After a while, the door was opened.

The person who opened the door was an old man wearing cloth clothes.

He looks to be about sixty or seventy years old, with gray hair and a pale complexion.

His face looked haggard, as if he had been seriously injured.

"Who is it?" the old man asked in a hoarse voice.

"It's me!" Su Ran gently opened the door~.

The door opened and Su Ran stepped into the room.

The old man followed him into the room, closed the door, and stared at Su Ran.

Su Ran smiled lightly: "Don't be afraid, old man, I'm not a bad person. I came here to sell you food."

"Oh?" the old man said in surprise.

"Someone came to buy food so soon? Are you..."

Su Ran said: "Yes, I am the Imperial Envoy."

"Ah?" The old man was stunned and looked at Su Ran blankly.

"This is impossible! The imperial court only sends imperial envoys to allocate food every once in a while."

The old man couldn't believe this scene.

He once took the imperial examination.

Naturally, we know how noble the imperial envoy is.

There is no way that you would condescend to sell grain to him.

"This is the imperial badge bestowed upon me by His Majesty the Emperor.

"I have been ordered to inspect various counties."

"If it weren't for His Majesty the Emperor's kindness and meritorious service in relieving the victims, I would really not bother to come here."

Su Ran said, taking out the waist badge given by the emperor and shaking it.

"Really are......"

The old man's eyes widened and he looked at the badge in disbelief.

This waist badge is an imperial waist badge with exquisite workmanship.

It is engraved with dragon patterns, which is very powerful.

This is a genuine royal palace product.

It was much higher quality than the waist badges worn by officials like him, which small businessmen saw.

"Old man, how much food do you have in storage?"

Su Ran asked with a smile.

"Fifty thousand stones," the old man said.

"So many?" Su Ran pretended to be surprised.

"hey-hey......"

The old man smiled slightly awkwardly.

Fifty thousand shi of grain may be considered a lot in normal times, but unfortunately, this time we encountered a flood.

"To be honest with you, half of the food in our county was washed away by floods."

"The remaining grain is also pieced together. In fact, it is not much at all."

"Okay then! You can sell these grains to me!"

"I will pay you some more money. What do you think?".........00

"Okay, okay!" the old man said excitedly.

Su Ran took out the banknote and handed it to the old man.

Then he left the key to the granary on the table, then turned and left.

After leaving the grain store, Su Ran rode back to the county government office.

When he returned to the county government office, it was already evening. After washing up, he lay down on the bed to rest.

Late at night, suddenly there was the sound of footsteps.

Su Ran opened her eyes and got up from the bed.

He faintly noticed that someone seemed to be approaching his house.

Moreover, the footsteps were extremely subtle, as if they were carefully observing their surroundings.

"Bang!" The door was knocked open.

"Who?" Su Ran asked.

"Sir, it's the little one!"

The person who came in was Li Fu, and he said respectfully.

"Steward Li, what do you want to do when you break into my courtyard in the middle of the night?"

Su Ran asked: "Sir, I want to make something clear to you."

Li Fu said: "This afternoon, Yuan Wang and I went to the grain store and bought 100,000 catties of grain."

"They are all piled up in the granary. I wonder if it is convenient for you to go over and check now?"

Su Ran frowned slightly, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Then take me to have a look, Zero!"
