After the marriage was broken off, the husband's family regretted it

County Magistrate Wu has been very busy during this period.

Master: "Sir, don't get too tired. Take care of your body."

Magistrate Wu: "In this situation, how can I live the same as before? Alas, I don't know if the imperial court has any grain. I have submitted a memorial to the higher authorities but there is really no response. It is like a stone falling into the sea."

The lawyer wanted to say something, but no words came out of his mouth.

Magistrate Wu said: "Master, what do you think we should do now? If things continue like this, there will definitely not be enough food. It has only been a short time. The price of food is already ridiculously high, and it has increased six or seven times compared to the previous price."

Master: "We still have to wait for the grain from the court. Otherwise, we don't have that much grain in our government office. And the grain merchants are waiting to make money now, so it's impossible for them to lower the price or sell it at the original price."

Magistrate Wu: "You are right. We are really worried about this right now. Food is life."

Master: "Master, didn't we grow potatoes before? Those farmers must have some food in stock."

Magistrate Wu: "I have already asked, there are not many. It is hard to survive this winter, let alone so many people. In addition, the heavy rain has destroyed the crops in the fields. There is no way for the people to survive."

"Don't even mention them. Even we have to buy food at high prices if we want to eat it. Besides, ordinary people have to plant more now, otherwise we will have nothing to eat next year."

“Pray that next year will be a good year with smooth sailing.”

Master: "Sir, regarding the grain issue, I think you can discuss it with the grain merchants. We can also find someone whom you know."

Magistrate Wu's eyes rolled around, and he kept thinking, who could this person be? There was so much food, who could this person be?

Magistrate Wu thought for a long time before he finally remembered. "You are talking about Yun Tao, right?"

"But are you sure she has so much food? I'm a little worried."

Master: "Master, just give it a try. How can you know if you don't try? Don't you think so?"

County Magistrate Wu thought about it and agreed, so he immediately arranged for someone to go to Yun Tao's house.

Yun Tao, who was resting at home, was very happy to see an old acquaintance coming to her house, but she changed her mind and thought that this person would not come to her house for no reason, and he might come to her for food.

When County Magistrate Wu saw Yun Tao, he knew that he had something to ask for, but he was a little embarrassed to speak.

"Ms. Yun, I'm looking for you because I need your help with something. Look..."

Yun Tao saw the elder brother start to speak, so she interrupted him and said, "Brother Wu, you are not here to ask for food, are you?"

County Magistrate Wu said embarrassedly, "You guessed it right. The heavy rain has had a huge impact on the villagers. Many people have nothing to eat. The price of food is rising almost every day, and there has been no news about the grain from the court. I don't know if there is any more. The people above told us to find a way ourselves. There is not a grain left in the government office. What do you want me to do now?"

"If this matter can't be handled well, I can come down easily. Big sister, if you have extra food at home, I hope you can help me."

After Magistrate Wu finished speaking, he began looking at Yun Tao without blinking.

Yuntao felt uncomfortable being looked at by County Magistrate Wu.

"Brother Wu, please stop looking at me like that. It makes me scared. It's not that I don't want to help you. You know, I have limited food. If I help you, I can only help you for a while. There is still a long time before the grain harvest tomorrow. If I help you now, what will you do if you don't have food later?"

When Magistrate Wu heard this, he thought there was hope: "Sister, you just need to help me for a while. The disasters in various places are so severe, the court can't just sit there and watch, there will always be food. We just need to survive this period of time."

Yun Tao: "Okay, big brother. Do you think this is okay? Tomorrow you can arrange a bullock cart to bring the food, but my suggestion to you is that no one should limit the purchase when you sell it. Also, when I sell it to you, the potatoes are 8 cents per pound, because the villagers in our village also sell them at this price, so I will also sell them to you at this price."

Magistrate Wu: "Sister, I hope you can go to the county town to sell this. I can arrange a car. Because if an official like me is framed for embezzlement, it would be a serious crime."

Yun Tao thought about it and it made sense. Besides, Magistrate Wu would need to help with many things later. So she agreed to this matter. But you need to take care of me in this matter, because if I sell it like this. This price will definitely offend many people, you know. "

The two discussed for an hour and finally came to an agreement on the matter.

The next day, Yuntao brought food to the place arranged by County Magistrate Wu.

Everyone knew the news in advance and there was a constant stream of people lining up.

"Each person is limited to buying a maximum of 5 jin of potatoes, and each jin costs 8 wen. You can't buy more than that."

Under the arrangement of the yamen runners, each household sent a representative to buy potatoes, and Yun Tao's five carts of potatoes were all sold out. The main reason was that the price was too cheap, which was very cost-effective for these ordinary people. Some people even wanted to buy a whole cart of potatoes.

"The price of grain will only keep rising this year, not falling. After all, all the grain in the fields has been destroyed."

Yun Tao was moved when he saw the people snatching food. There was nothing that could be done when faced with such a natural disaster. No one wanted this to happen, and it was not good for anyone.

It seems that the food supplied in the city has to adapt to the price increase, otherwise, the food supply at home will not last long. Not only that, but there will be purchase restrictions.

"Master, I'm leaving first. I'll come again tomorrow, but not every day. Five pounds of potatoes can still be eaten for two days. Please note that those who bought today can't buy tomorrow. If there is anything, just arrange someone to notify me. Tomorrow I will also bring some coarse grains, and the price will still be the same as today."

When the master saw Yun Tao, he was impressed. This woman had a sense of justice and did not hide the grain. Most people were reluctant to take out the grain during this special period. After all, selling it would earn a lot of money.

During this period, Yun Tao was busy selling grain in the county town. The people in the county town all knew Yun Tao and praised her. Yun Tao's reputation was even greater than that of the county magistrate.
