I have been a county magistrate for ten years. My subordinates insist on giving me a yellow robe.

As the group entered the village, an old man in his sixties came up to greet them.

"This is our village's security guard, Chief Zhou." The man who brought Jiang Yuan and his group explained.

Jiang Yuan nodded and walked over: "Hello, Captain Zhou, my last name is Jiang, and my given name is Yuan."

"Haha, hello, Mr. Jiang. You've already started traveling around the world at such a young age. You're a promising young man." Zhou Baochang said with a smile.

"No, no, it was just luck. Thank you Captain Zhou for your kind reminder, otherwise we might still be standing here at a loss." Jiang Yuan also said with a smile.

"Of course you should. Mr. Jiang has come from afar, why don't you come home and have a drink before continuing on your journey?" Captain Zhou rolled his eyes and said immediately.

Here I come! I knew this old guy wouldn't be so kind.

Even with this in mind, Jiang Yuan nodded calmly, "Thank you for your help, Captain Zhou."

After the two men exchanged some pleasantries, the group, led by Captain Zhou, arrived at the village entrance. Jiang Yuan waved to Wang Gang to follow and gave a wink to the few people who stayed in the carriage.

Li Hu nodded silently.

After the three men walked into the room, Zhou Baochang picked up the kettle and poured tea for them.

"Mr. Jiang, please. Although I don't have any good tea, the best thing is that it's mountain spring water, which has a unique flavor."

Jiang Yuan curled his lips and spoke as if everyone was not mountain spring water.

I'm tired of drinking the mountain spring water in Taiping County. To put it nicely, it's called mountain spring water, but to put it bluntly, it just tastes disgusting.

"Thank you, Captain Zhou." Jiang Yuan thanked him, picked up the tea bowl, took a sip and put it down. The more he traveled in the world, the more careful Jiang Yuan became.

Chief Zhou Bao looked at Jiang Yuan expectantly: "Sir, how is it?"

"To be honest, our tea is picked from tea trees deep in the mountains. It has a history of at least a hundred years."

Jiang Yuan was stunned, with a look of disbelief in his eyes.

No, are you trying to sell me tea?

You sold it to me?

"Yeah, it's really good." Jiang Yuan continued to pretend to be confused.

This time, Captain Zhou became a little anxious and quickly took out two bags of tea from the cabinet behind him.

"Mr. Jiang, to be honest, we're located deep in the mountains and forests, and there's not much land to grow crops on, so we mainly sell these teas. If you like it, Mr. Jiang, why not buy some?"

"What? There are places here where people can't even get enough food?" Jiang Yuan suddenly sat up and said with an exaggerated expression.

Zhou Baochang was stunned and said, "We just don't have land to farm. When did I say that?"

This is probably the young man's own guess, but it's okay this way. He will feel embarrassed not to buy it, right?

"Yes, we are pitiful, Mr. Jiang, if you are kind-hearted, please buy some tea." Captain Zhou said, forcing out a few tears.

Jiang Yuan took a deep breath and said slowly: "I understand."

It happened in the blink of an eye. As soon as Jiang Yuan finished speaking, Captain Zhou turned around and opened the cabinet, revealing a cabinet full of tea.

"How much does Mr. Jiang want? If this isn't enough, we have more."

"I wonder how much this tea is sold for?" Jiang Yuan asked.

"Not expensive, fifty taels of silver per bag."

This isn't expensive at all, it's even more cruel than me!

After a burst of inward curses, Jiang Yuan waved his hand calmly and said earnestly, "Captain Zhou, although I am a businessman, I also understand that it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him fish. Even if I buy your tea, I can only help you temporarily."

"Let me think of a way to help you solve the problem completely."

The smile on Zhou Baozhang's face froze a little: "Sir, this is not necessary, just buy some tea."

At this time, Li Hu, who was outside, carried Qin Tianzhu and Kong Xuan directly to a place where dozens of villagers gathered.

"Is there anything I can help you with?" an old man asked first.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Li Hu nodded repeatedly.

"It's like this, our caravan is short of manpower and wants to hire some villagers to help. Uncle, can you give me a hand?"

The old man stood up suddenly, which scared Li Hu.

"Young man, to be honest with you, although I am old, I was a good worker in the village when I was young. I wonder how much you can offer me for my work?"

Li Hu quickly raised his hand: "Uncle, please think carefully. The place we are going to is a long way, at least a few hundred miles away. With your body..."

"Hi!"

Before Li Hu finished speaking, the old man suddenly stepped on the stool he had just been sitting on, and the stool immediately shattered.

"Young man, is this okay?"

Li Hu swallowed his saliva, what a tough guy!

"Yes, but we need a lot of people. Can you help find more people? As long as they are strong, men or women are fine. It will take about ten days. Five taels of silver per person."

"Really?" The old man lost his composure. Five taels of silver, how much tea would he have to sell?

"Of course it's true, and as long as you are willing to go, you will be given one or two taels of silver immediately, and the remaining money will be given after you complete the work." Li Hu continued.

"Fuck! Just wait, I'll go get someone for you!"

The old man spoke and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"So tough?" Qin Tianzhu was completely dumbfounded.

What the hell is this place? An ordinary old man, his health is no worse than that of an ordinary young man.

"Boss, boss, do you think I can do this?"

A strong man hurried towards Li Hu. As he passed by, he picked up a young man and kicked the small stool under the young man's butt into several pieces.

"And me! And me!"

After a while, dozens of people present, regardless of gender, age or status, all came to Li Hu and signed up.

A moment later, the old man who had left came running over hurriedly with a group of people.

"Boss, I found the person for you!"

"Okay, I'll give you all a quarter of an hour to go home and pack some necessary things. We'll gather at the village entrance, and I'll give you all the money then!"

"Once you arrive at the destination, you only need to carry the goods. After you are done, someone will give you money!"

After Li Hu finished speaking, the people around him immediately dispersed, fearing that it would be too late and it would be their turn.

A moment later, all the villagers who received the silver happily followed Wang Yuan on the road to Taiping County. There was almost no one in the entire village.

At this time, at Zhou Baozhang's home, Jiang Yuanzhen said to Zhou Baozhang earnestly:

"Mr. Zhou, as the saying goes, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. The reason you are so tired is that you worry about the whole village!"

Chief Zhou nodded in agreement. "Mr. Jiang is right. I've been the chief for over twenty years, and every day I worry about the villagers' food and drink."

"Sometimes I really feel that it would be better for me to just be a villager who doesn't care about anything."

Jiang Yuan was about to speak when Li Hu walked in and nodded at him, indicating that everything was done.

"Yes, Captain Zhou is right." Jiang Yuan stood up with a smile and pointed at himself.

"Captain Zhou, to be honest, I'm a kind-hearted person and I can't bear to see others suffer, so I'll help you realize your idea!"
