In a year of natural disasters, the young woman had billions of resources to build a paradise.
Chapter 54 8 Shi of Grain
The two men lifted her onto a stretcher, jogged into the granary, and took her directly to the side room of the courtyard where Lord Shi lived.
A charcoal fire was burning in the side room, making it warm and cozy, and the bed and quilts were very soft.
As soon as Jiang Mianmian was put on the bed, a pair of large hands reached up to her neck and began to unbutton her collar.
She quickly pushed the hand away, "Don't worry about me, believe me! Give the letter to Lord Shi!"
"I am Shi Yi."
After a pause, the deep, slightly hoarse voice said again, "You are more important than the letter. Don't catch a cold."
!!!
Jiang Mianmian almost lost her composure. His voice was just too beautiful. And what did he say? "You are more important than a letter?"
What kind of amazing boss is this? I'm just a messenger, okay?
She forced herself to slow down the speed at which she opened her eyes, and then froze.
In her previous life, she had heard of Shi Yi.
Born into a family with a long history, he could recognize 10,000 characters at the age of three and was skilled in poetry at five. At eight, he became famous throughout the capital for his essay "On the Way of Learning." Unfortunately, when he was ten, his family suffered a sudden misfortune, and he wandered to many places, witnessing the fickleness of human nature. Finally, to make a living, he had no choice but to find a position as a granary clerk in Fengshui County. It is said that he worked in the granary for eight years without making a single mistake, which led to his promotion from clerk to granary manager, where he remained securely in the reserve granary and was respectfully addressed as Master Shi.
By that calculation, he should be over thirty years old.
But no matter how you look at her face, she looks no more than twenty years old. Her skin is much better than hers, and her big eyes are bright and innocent. In modern society, she would definitely be a popular young star!
"Ahem, well, Lord Shi, you should read the letter first."
Jiang Mianmian sat up and picked up the dry clothes from the bedside. "I can do it myself."
Shi Yi smiled slightly at her, "Indeed, it would be more convenient for you to come by yourself. There is a hot bathtub in the inner room. I will go outside to check the letter first. If you need anything, just give me a call."
"Uh-huh."
Hey? Girl?
Jiang Mianmian suddenly looked up and saw a dark corner of clothing by the door.
Indeed, smart people are hard to fool!
She jumped out of bed, locked the door, and went around to the back of the screen.
Sure enough, there was a large bathtub filled with water, and next to it was a smaller basin, which was steaming.
There's also a shelf on one side, with bath towels and hand towels of various sizes on top, and bath beans, skin creams, and other similar items on the bottom.
"This is so well prepared."
Of course, she couldn't let their kindness go to waste. Jiang Mianmian took a nice hot shower, changed her clothes, and went out.
Shi Yi prepared men's clothing for me, which was neat and comfortable.
"Lord Shi, have you finished reading the letter? Quickly get everyone to evacuate."
Shi Yi was looking at the letter over and over, her eyes full of doubt. "Just these two sentences?"
"The earth dragon descends the mountain; forget the granaries, retreat eastward at once!"
While all matters concerning the reserve warehouse were indeed under the management of the county magistrate, the county magistrate he knew was not so simple and crude in his speech and actions.
Each time the two communicated, it was a thick stack of letters!
Jiang Mianmian is very confident in her imitation writing skills.
She pretended not to know Shi Yi's doubts and asked anxiously, "Does Your Excellency still have questions? The County Magistrate is so busy that he barely has time to breathe. This letter was only written after I strongly insisted. You know, he wanted me to convey it verbally, but how could I possibly memorize it!"
This was a subtle way of criticizing the county magistrate for being long-winded.
Shi Yi raised an eyebrow. "I wonder when you entered the county government? I remember that the county government has never recruited a woman."
"You have no idea, Fengshui County is in complete chaos!"
Jiang Mianmian waved her hand, starting from the spread of the folk song, and then talking about how recently 'a big hole had mysteriously appeared in the city wall'.
"Everyone says it's divine retribution, that's why the magistrate opened the city gates and even opened the city's granaries to distribute to the fleeing people! But with so few people in the county government, how could that be enough? I'm fast on my feet and have a loud voice, so the county magistrate specifically assigned me the most important task!"
Shi Yi nodded slightly, "The young lady does indeed have a clear voice. So, what do you say we should do with all this grain?"
"He didn't say, but he asked me to take inventory of the items and report back to him. He has other plans."
As long as we take her to count the grain, we can take the opportunity to store all the grain in the warehouse!
Shi Yi's uneasy feeling resurfaced. "Leave no one behind, retreat eastward? Then if it's time to transport grain, we'll have to find someone else?"
"Yes, yes, yes, the master said he knows a security escort agency that specializes in this kind of dangerous work. They are fast and strong."
Jiang Mianmian added, "The adults are worried that you might get into danger. They said that each of you should take fifty catties of grain with you. Those who have families should go home quickly, and those who are alone should travel east together."
"Come on, I'll take the girl to the granary."
Shi Yi got up and led the way.
The reserve granary is an above-ground structure with a total of twenty rooms, each capable of storing five thousand shi (a unit of dry measure). Sixteen rooms are currently full, totaling eighty thousand shi.
The warehouse was built very high, with small windows at the top for ventilation, but these were all completely blocked off at the moment.
Pushing open the door, you see large bags of grain stacked layer upon layer, arranged in a circular, interlaced pattern, filling the air with the aroma of wheat.
Jiang Mianmian was extremely grateful that the warehouse's method of receiving supplies had been upgraded; otherwise, she would have been exhausted!
"This lap is..."
Shi Yi took out a booklet, which clearly recorded the warehouse number, the number of bags of grain inside, the weight of each bag, and so on.
He even brought over a scale cart. "Miss, would you like to weigh them one by one, or just pick a few bags?"
"No need, the master said I only need to take a look."
Jiang Mianmian took the lead and walked out. When she reached the door, she stopped the door and said, "Lord Shi, let's go and take a look at all these granaries."
Shi Yi put the booklet away. "Okay."
After they left, Jiang Mianmian took advantage of the door being half-closed to try it out.
[Collect all the bags of food here!]
The grain in the warehouse vanished instantly and all appeared in the supply depot!
Relieved, Jiang Mianmian closed the warehouse door and smiled brightly, "Let's go, let's go to the next warehouse."
Shi Yi thought her smile was a little dazzling. Just looking at the grain, was it really necessary to be so happy?
But I didn't think much of it and continued watching with her.
Jiang Mianmian continued to collect.
By the time they reached the last granary, soldiers had already carried all the grain that everyone needed to take to their respective quarters. "Lord Shi, are we really leaving?"
"Yes, the earth dragon descending the mountain is no child's play; we must not only leave, but leave as soon as possible."
Shi Yi knew what was important and arranged everything without Jiang Mianmian needing to persuade her.
Jiang Mianmian took one last look at the granary, packed everything up, locked the door immediately, and handed the key to Shi Yi.
"You must be busy then, sir, so I'll be leaving now."
"Are you in such a hurry?"
Shi Yi tightened her grip on the keys. "Aren't you coming with us?"
"No need, I can walk faster myself."
Jiang Mianmian slipped away very quickly.
Little did they know that Shi Yi's brows furrowed even more tightly. "Go and pick out some of the food I prepared that is easy to carry, and send it to that girl... wait."
He turned around, then suddenly strode to the warehouse door, took out the key, and said, "No, I need to take another look."
