The beginning of the counterattack! The time-traveling boss is famous in Beijing

When County Magistrate Jiang arrived at Yintang, Mr. Qian, the chief clerk, and several yamen runners were surrounding the sweet potatoes brought by Qin Ruo, looking at them with great interest.

Seeing County Magistrate Jiang come in, everyone stood up and saluted, and Qin Ruo also stood up.

"I greet the county magistrate."

"Miss Qin, there's no need to be so polite." Before Qin Ruo could even bend down, she was stopped by County Magistrate Jiang.

County Magistrate Jiang no longer cared about etiquette. He quickly stepped forward, picked up the sweet potato seedlings that Qin Ruo brought, and looked at them carefully.

"Good! Good! This thing is good!"

After putting down the sweet potato seedlings, County Magistrate Jiang couldn't wait to taste the sweet potatoes served by his lawyer, and praised them endlessly.

County Magistrate Jiang is a Jinshi graduate, thirty-five years old this year, and comes from the Jiang family in the capital.

County Magistrate Jiang was assigned to Taihe County five years ago.

During the Dasheng Dynasty, the term of office of a county magistrate was usually five years, and the magistrate would generally be promoted or transferred after the term expired.

Today, this is the sixth year that County Magistrate Jiang has been serving in Taihe County.

Logically speaking, County Magistrate Jiang should have been promoted to a higher position, but there was no promotion or transfer.

In addition to the suppression by the Jiang family's political enemies in Beijing, his own lack of political achievements was also a major reason.

County Magistrate Jiang himself was not a man content with mediocrity, so naturally he also wanted to climb up the ladder.

He has been working hard over the past few years, but the land in Taihe County is barren, the grain yield is low, and he has to pay heavy taxes every year.

Ordinary people can only barely solve the problem of food and clothing with two meals a day.

County Magistrate Jiang wanted to change this situation and make political achievements, but he had no good ideas, so returning to Beijing became a distant hopeless thing.

Food is the foundation of the people, the people are the foundation of the country, and the country is the foundation of the monarch.

The sweet potatoes that Qin Ruo brought today gave County Magistrate Jiang a glimmer of hope.

"Where did Miss Qin get this? And do you know how to grow it?"

County Magistrate Jiang arrived in a hurry just now and had no time to inquire about the origin of this thing.

He turned his gaze to Qin Ruo and asked eagerly.

The little girl in front of me was dressed simply and her face looked a little immature, but her demeanor was extraordinary.

For some reason, County Magistrate Jiang had a hunch that Qin Ruo could bring him unknown surprises.

Qin Ruo had long anticipated that Magistrate Jiang would ask this question. She calmly repeated to Magistrate Jiang what she had said to Master Qian and others.

When County Magistrate Jiang heard Qin Ruo say that these things were found in the mountains and there were only a few of them, and that he knew nothing about how to grow them, he felt a little disappointed.

Originally, his original plan was to arrange people to go into the mountains to look for it and see if he could bring back more.

Now, it seems that this method is not feasible.

Moreover, Qin Ruoyan made it clear that she only had a few plants. She couldn't let him snatch things from a commoner, right?

Things like robbing and plundering are not something he could do.

"Thank you so much for clearing up my doubts today. I have some worldly matters to attend to and cannot stay any longer."

"Sir, you may as well wait for some time. If the trial planting is successful, I will be the first to report to the government. If it is suitable, you will promote the planting. What do you think?"

Food is the foundation of national stability. If you give food to any powerful person and surrender to him, you can become extremely rich.

But what Qin Ruo wants is not dependence, but mutual benefit.

This was the first time Qin Ruo met County Magistrate Jiang. She had no idea what his personality was like, but from what she could tell he looked pretty good.

As to whether or not to give County Magistrate Jiang a chance to achieve political success, that remains to be seen.

Qin Ruo achieved her goal and said goodbye to County Magistrate Jiang and his men calmly.

"That's great, great! Then I'll wait here for your good news, Miss Qin."

In just a few minutes, County Magistrate Jiang had adjusted his mindset.

He was overjoyed, and the "Benguan" that he usually referred to himself as had now become "me".

After the two exchanged a few polite words, Qin Ruo left the yamen.

After about a quarter of an hour, Qin Ruo returned from the yamen to the door of the house she had just bought.

The broker who had received Qin Ruo before was standing in front of the door waiting for her.

"Miss Qin, you're back." The broker greeted her with a smile on his face.

Just now in the yamen, he saw Qin Ruo being detained by Master Qian, so he left first with great tact.

Qin Ruo nodded slightly. The broker came to her again so soon, probably because he came to find a shop for her.

Before this, the agent showed her information about several shops, but she was not very satisfied with any of them.

Anyway, there was no need to rush, so she told the agent to come back to her when a suitable one was found.

"Miss Qin, it's like this. I just remembered that there is a shop in Taihe County that meets your requirements, but I don't know if you dare to take it..."

"Oh, there are shops that people dare not take over? Tell us about it." Qin Ruo immediately became interested.

"Um... the Fumanlou Restaurant in Taihe County, I wonder if you have heard of it, Miss Qin?"

When the broker saw that there was a chance, he immediately responded.

"Fumanlou? This restaurant is going to make a move?" Now it was Qin Ruo's turn to be surprised.

Ever since she first offered wild animals to Taihe County and Manager Zhang refused to accept them, she no longer paid much attention to the news about that restaurant.

In addition, she had been to Taihe County seldom, so she really had no idea what had happened in Fumanlou.

But it's only been a month since the last visit, and now the restaurant is no longer in business? This is strange.

Qin Ruo calmly said to the broker, "You're asking me if I dare to accept it? Can I explain this?"

"To be honest, I don't know why, but the previous owner of Fu Man Lou suddenly withdrew. A few days ago, the restaurant was bought by a foreigner..."

"It's all been bought by someone else, so why are you asking me if I dare to take it over?"

The more Qin Ruo listened, the more confused she became, and she interrupted the broker.

"Miss Qin, it's like this. The foreigner bought the restaurant, but the restaurant was never opened."

"Didn't Fu Man Lou have a manager named Zhang before? After that outsider bought the restaurant, Manager Zhang brought a group of people to cause trouble every day. His purpose was to deliberately make the outsider unable to run the restaurant and force him to sell it at a low price."

The brothel owner let out a long sigh before continuing.

"That foreigner was also a tough nut to crack at first, but after almost half a month, he was too annoyed to bear and had to transfer the property. But he was unwilling to sell it to Zhang's group at a low price, so the matter came to a standstill."

"The price the new shopkeeper wants is not expensive, only 180 taels of silver. But after what happened, no one dares to take over for fear of causing trouble."

"I think the location is good and the price is fair, so I'll come over and see what you think."

The broker was quite honest. He had no intention of introducing Fu Manlou to Qin Ruo.

It was not until he went to the yamen that he discovered that Qin Ruo seemed to be quite popular there.

He really didn't want to miss this deal, so he came back and waited for Qin Ruo.

Anyway, he has already told the truth about the situation. It is up to Qin Ruo whether to buy it or not.

"This Manager Zhang is so arrogant, is there someone behind him?" Qin Ruo raised her eyebrows and asked nonchalantly.

She really liked the location of Fumanlou.
