Chapter 370 Magistrate Lin, you probably didn't wake up!
Pingyuan County Government, County Magistrate Lin Lian is very busy.
Although the flood has passed and the disaster relief work has basically come to an end, the subsequent aftermath work is the top priority. The flood has flooded too much field and destroyed many houses. These must be solved slowly in the subsequent aftermath.
To solve the problem, the biggest problem is lack of money.
Only by relying on the savings in the people's homes, we can certainly overcome temporary difficulties. But to live a life, it depends on the long term. It is impossible for the people to spend all the money they have in their hands.
The best way to provide disaster relief is to use labor for relief.
Lin Lian also wanted to solve the problem by using the method of labor-for-relief. The premise for labor-for-relief is that he has money and food.
Unfortunately, Lin Lian was short of money and food.
If the problem has not been solved, many people will choose to leave Pingyuan County. Especially after the imperial court's decree to migrate to Linan Kingdom, many people are already ready to move.
If the people under his rule migrate to Linan Kingdom on a large scale, it would be difficult for him, the county magistrate of Pingyuan County, to evaluate his merits.
These days, Lin Lian was anxious to get angry and his hair fell down one by one. If he continued like this, his premature aging would probably lead to baldness.
"Sir, Princess Changping is asking for a meeting outside!"
Just as Lin Lian and his staff were staring at each other, they racked their brains every day, and the yamen guarding the gate hurried over and delivered news of Su Wu's visit.
"Please, please!"
"Ah, no, I should go and greet it in person!"
When Lin Lian heard the yamen telling Princess Changping to see her, he didn't know why. He suddenly felt a big rock in his heart. He inexplicably felt that the things he had been worried about for many days were going to be solved.
In fact, Lin Lian didn't know why he felt this way.
But he just relaxed.
Soon, Lin Lian jogged out of the county yard and saw Su Wu standing outside the yard, and hurried forward to greet him.
County Magistrate, Seventh-rank.
Princess, super!
This subordinate is too obvious.
"Lin Lian, the magistrate of Xiaguan Pingyuan County, please see Princess Changping!"
"Mr. Lin doesn't need to be polite."
Su Wu waved her hand like a decent look.
However, it was really funny that she was a little funny when she was a little adult.
"Mr. Lin, I don't know how the disaster relief work in Pingyuan County is like? But what are the shortcomings? If there is one, I may be able to help."
Su Wu simply and directly explained the purpose of the trip, without any twists and turns. After all, she is still a little baby. Although she speaks a little more frivolously, if she is too jealous, then ninety percent will be regarded as a monster.
"Your Highness, why not, let's talk inside?"
Lin Lian took a deep breath and was overjoyed.
He was really in trouble, but this trouble cannot be mentioned in front of others. If the people in the county knew that he was short of money and food and was not capable of post-disaster work, then the people would definitely migrate to the Linan Kingdom in groups.
"Mr. Lin, please!"
The little adult Su Wu is still very stylish.
"Princess, please first!"
Lin Lian quickly responded, turned sideways and made an invitation letter.
Su Wu didn't talk nonsense, and immediately took her second sister, Qingyue and Hanyue into the county government gate.
...
In the study room next to the lobby of the county government, the guest and the guest sit down.
Only then did Lin Lian start to complain to Su Wu and tell him all the dangers he is now.
"Mr. Lin, how much money do you think can solve the current dilemma?"
"At least it will cost 50,000 taels!"
"Of course, it would be even better if there were 100,000 taels of silver."
“…?!”
When Su Wu heard Lin Lian’s rude lion speak loudly, she almost swears. She really wanted to ask the county magistrate if she thinks she is made of gold?
Even if she was made of gold, she would not be able to sell her for 100,000 taels of silver!
"Your Highness, the princess knows that 100,000 taels of silver is a little too much, but for the 100,000 taels of silver, the prince can write a promissory note. As long as you give the prince some time, you will definitely pay it back within three to five years!"
"Mr. Lin, do you think I can give out 100,000 taels of silver?"
"Not to mention 100,000 taels of silver, I can't take it out even if it's 10,000 taels!"
Su Wu was really stimulated by Lin Lian's lion's big talk. Even if the other party said he would write an IOU or pay it back within three to five years, Su Wu wanted to take two sticks to the other party's head. In Su Wu's opinion, Lin Lian was simply crazy!
"Your Highness Princess, the official knows that you don't have 100,000 taels of silver. So, you don't, but the official thinks that your elder brother-in-law should have it!"
Lin Lian finally said what he said in his heart.
He didn't expect Su Wu to lend him 100,000 taels of silver. He was counting on Su Wu's eldest brother-in-law and Xie Yuan, the eldest grandson of the Xie family.
"Mr. Lin, you are afraid you haven't woken up!"
Su Wu was a little angry.
Lin Lian knew that the other party was angry when he heard Su Wu say this, but Su Wu was his only life-saving straw now. If he could not get money from Su Wu, then his career would be over.
When they were discussing with their aides and teachers around them, they wanted to go and beg for alms with Su Wu, Princess Changping. Of course, this beg for alms is not just borrowing money from Su Wu. Lin Lian could still estimate whether Su Wu has money. His purpose was to borrow Su Wu's relationship and get in touch with the eldest grandson of the Xie family in the capital.
Xie Yuan has always been a sick person, but this sick person is very rich. Anyone who knows a little about the Xie family knows this.
Because this eldest grandson is very favored.
"Your Highness, the lower official knows that this is not kind. But for the sake of the people of Pingyuan County, the lower official can only ask for something shamelessly!"
Although Lin Lian is not a fan of the officialdom, since he is an official, he always has to do something. Otherwise, he would be embarrassed to take the salary from the court and fail to accomplish anything.
Su Wu rolled her eyes and said, "Mr. Lin, let me help you connect with my elder brother-in-law. This is impossible. What about you, just give up your heart!"
"But, since I'm here, I'll definitely help you!"
As he spoke, Su Wu waved at Qingyue.
Qingyue immediately presented the five treasures and green gold hairpin to Lin Lian.
"This gold hairpin, the five treasures, the green gold hairpin, is a treasure passed down from the Western Buddhist Kingdom, and is worth less than ten thousand gold. I got it because of some special reasons. As for Lin County Magistrate, whether you can use this treasure to exchange for more money and food, it depends on your ability!"
"I personally suggest that Lin County Magistrate, you can take this thing to the capital and find an auction house."
That’s right, there is an auction house in Daxia.
Once a rare treasure enters the auction house, its value will inevitably increase and become several times the original value, or even dozens of times.
