Uncle Wang, who was walking at the front of the caravan, frowned and stopped.

They were indeed going to pass through Taiping County, but when they were in Tai'an County, they heard that the battle in Taiping County had reduced the entire county to ruins, and not many people survived, let alone anyone who could buy their goods.

A businessman must put profit first. If you have money, you are the boss. If you don’t have money, who are you?

So Uncle Wang had no intention of stopping in Taiping County.

"Uncle Wang! Look, that carriage seems to be ours!" Bai Qing ran over excitedly.

Uncle Wang took a closer look and his expression instantly improved. "Yes, it really is our carriage. But why did it appear in the hands of County Magistrate Jiang?"

"Haha! Captain Wang, how are you?" Jiang Yuan walked over and bowed first.

"I'm sorry for not welcoming you in person, Magistrate Jiang!" Uncle Wang said politely in a hurry.

After finishing the polite words, Jiang Yuan immediately waved his hands and shouted angrily: "Press forward!"

Wang Gang kicked Li Hu, who was tied up, without any hesitation.

"This! It's that group of bandits!" Bai Qing was immediately furious and stared at Li Hu with red eyes.

Jiang Yuan waved his sleeves and said righteously, "Yes, this group of people is a bunch of bandits."

"Just now, this county magistrate led the villagers and constables into the mountains to cut down some trees for the reconstruction of Taiping County. Unexpectedly, we encountered this group of bandits. After some inquiries, we discovered that this group was so bold as to intercept Captain Wang's escort."

"I immediately ordered their capture and returned the goods previously lost by Captain Wang."

Uncle Wang looked at the carriage and cargo that had been recovered, and his lips trembled slightly.

He once left Taiping County because he was unable to buy goods due to the turmoil, but Jiang Yuan did not hesitate to sacrifice his troops to capture the bandits and returned a cart of goods to the original owner.

You must know that Taiping County is in dire straits at the moment. How much silver can this cart of goods be exchanged for?

"County Magistrate Jiang, I really feel guilty about this." Uncle Wang shook his head in self-mockery.

Jiang Yuan quickly took two small steps and grabbed Uncle Wang's arm. "Captain Wang, it's only natural that you wouldn't want to get involved in this catastrophe that's befalling Taiping County. How could I blame you?"

"It won't be too late for Captain Wang to come back once Taiping County is rebuilt!"

Uncle Wang took two deep breaths, looked Jiang Yuan in the eye, and said in a deep voice, "County Magistrate Jiang is very reasonable. Even if I were as thick-skinned as I am, I would not be able to leave like this."

"Jiang County Magistrate, you can take this cartload of goods. I'll also give you an extra 100 taels of silver. There are also many supplies you urgently need in the caravan. Take whatever you need, County Magistrate Jiang!"

"No! No! Captain Wang, what should I do?" Jiang Yuan's face flushed slightly, and he looked very excited.

Uncle Wang immediately looked at Bai Qing beside him and said, "Why don't you go and pick out two trucks of goods for County Magistrate Jiang!"

"Yes!" Bai Qing shouted and walked lightly to the back.

"No, little brother, if you give it to us, you will lose money on this trip!" Jiang Yuan looked anxious.

Behind Jiang Yuan, Li Hu's back teeth were broken.

Good, good! You say I'm dishonest, but when I compare myself to you, I realize I'm actually quite kind!

A few hundred meters away from the others, on a high mountain, Kong Xuan shook his head and cursed: "Beast, fucking beast! You are simply not human!"

Wang Jue stared and sighed: "This is too shameless!"

Zhao Kai closed his eyes and couldn't bear to watch any longer. This group of people from the escort agency were too arrogant.

I'm afraid that if Jiang Yuan sells me out, I'll have to help him count the money.

"It's really too much. A guy like this deserves to be executed immediately." Zhao Kai sighed.

If Jiang Yuan just robbed the things and left, they could understand it, because he was doing it for a living, and it wasn't shameful.

But after Jiang Yuan finished robbing, he turned back and not only took two more carts of goods and one hundred taels of silver, but also established himself as a good man. This is simply shameless!

On the mountain road, Jiang Yuan told Uncle Wang about the tragic situation in Taiping County with tears and snot.

Even Uncle Wang, who has been in the business for most of his life, couldn't help but have tears in his eyes.

"Magister Jiang, Taiping County will be fine with a leader like you, everything will be fine!" Uncle Wang patted Jiang Yuan's hand and encouraged him.

Jiang Yuan took a deep breath and forced a smile, his heart almost breaking.

I really cried. I am such a genius at acting!

Why didn't I enter the entertainment industry in my previous life? Then, Oscars and Best Actor awards would be easily within my grasp.

The two sides exchanged pleasantries again. Jiang Yuan then changed the subject and pointed at Li Hu, saying, "Captain Wang, this man led a group of bandits and committed many evil deeds. Fortunately, I have captured him now. I will now hand him over to you, Captain Wang. You can kill him or chop him up as you wish!"

"You bastard! You are such a shameless thing!" Bai Qing looked at Li Hu angrily, wishing he could go over and chop him with a knife immediately.

Jiang Yuan almost lost control. These goods were very important, but it depended on who he was compared with. Li Hu was his brother and dearest friend!

If you want to kill him, two trucks of cargo are too little!

Fortunately, Uncle Wang was a sensible person. He immediately rebuked Bai Qing and then turned to look at Jiang Yuan:

"Jiang County Magistrate, although we are relieved to have killed them, Taiping County is currently short of supplies. Jiang County Magistrate, it would be better for you to report the fact that this gang of bandits has been wiped out."

"Adding another achievement to County Magistrate Jiang's administration will at least earn him some more disaster relief supplies."

"What a good man! Captain Wang always thinks of me, I am really grateful!" Jiang Yuan looked at Uncle Wang with red eyes again.

Half a minute later, the two finally separated. Jiang Yuan waved goodbye to Uncle Wang, and the team had two more carts of goods and two hundred taels of silver.

Uncle Wang arranged for all the merchants, big and small, in the caravan to donate some silver.

Looking at so many things, Jiang Yuan sighed from the bottom of his heart: "What a good man, what a good man."

Li Hu sighed deeply: "Yes, he is a really good person. I shouldn't have taken pictures of him halfway."

"You? Come on, you're full of evil intentions and can even come up with such a sinister trick." Jiang Yuan looked at him sideways.

Li Hu originally felt quite guilty about this. After all, apart from being a little young and frivolous, Bai Qing was actually a very nice person.

But when he later saw what Jiang Yuan did with his own eyes, Li Hu suddenly felt that he was too human.

I am not afraid of the product being bad, I am just afraid of comparing the products.

By the time Jiang Yuan returned to Taiping County with three carriages, it was already dark.

After several days of hard work, the entire Taiping County has almost changed.

The broken bricks and tiles have been cleared away, and the houses have been erected. All that is left is to wait for the clay to dry and harden before the roof can be sealed.

Under Jiang Yuan's instructions, all three carriages were taken to the county government office and plans would be made the next morning.

"Master, please have some porridge. There are eggs today." Wang Gang put the food on the table with a silly smile.

Jiang Yuan quickly finished his dinner. It was still early and he couldn't sleep, so he simply walked out of the room and climbed up to the top of the county government office along the broken wall.

The moon tonight seems especially round, and the stars are twinkling in the sky.

Jiang Yuan was lying on the roof, thinking about his current family fortune.

"We already have enough basic living supplies. As long as we can solve the population problem, Taiping County's development won't be a problem!"

"Also, I'll find a way to do something else tomorrow. Then happy days will beckoning to me!"

After saying that, Jiang Yuan's expression calmed down. He looked at the bright moon in the sky without taking his eyes off it for a long time.

The moonlight shines on Jiang Yuan, adding a bit of desolation to him.

After a long silence, Jiang Yuan suddenly laughed, his smile filled with helplessness, bitterness and loneliness.

"I wonder if anyone is still here to help sweep my parents' graves during the Lunar New Year..."

The young magistrate of Taiping County felt a little homesick.
