Imperial County Magistrate

Chapter 361 The Smart Woman

Just as the name of Her Majesty the Empress is resounding throughout the Zhou, Qi, and Jing Kingdoms, the name of the female general of the Jing Kingdom is equally resounding in the Qian Kingdom.

Especially in the arena, there are countless heroes who rushed to Jingguo in person after hearing the rumors about Ye Hongxue.

I just want to see this female warrior god.

Wu Qingluan, a woman who doesn't like red clothes but loves armed weapons, was deeply influenced by the two of them.

One is the empress Xiao Linglong, who is also a powerful female martial artist, and the other is Ye Hongxue!

At this moment, hearing Zheng Xuan say these three words, everyone was dumbfounded.

The young man was a scholar and didn't know much about things in the world. He was only vaguely familiar with it, so he asked: "Ye Hongxue, it sounds like a girl's name. Is Master Zheng very powerful? How does it compare to you?"

"It's more than amazing!"

Zheng Xuan seemed to be recalling something, his eyelids twitching slightly: "That year, I had just reached the fifth rank. When I heard the name of the Valkyrie of Jing Kingdom, I felt curious and unconvinced. I thought that a woman could not be called a Martial Goddess, so I went to Jing Kingdom."

"I just happened to meet a master martial artist who also challenged Ye Hongxue with one move! She defeated a strong man at the top of the fourth rank with just one move!"

"Then he single-handedly picked off hundreds of people with one shot and destroyed them with one shot! No matter you are fifth or fourth grade, even a third-grade warrior at her peak state cannot sustain twenty moves!"

Hearing this, even if the young man didn't know much about martial arts, he couldn't help but be shocked: "There are still such tyrannical women in the world!"

Wu Xinyi: "The female Martial Goddess of Jing Kingdom, she was a figure who once faced off against Her Majesty the Empress on the battlefield. She can be said to be the most pinnacle figure among women in the world."

Zheng Xuan sighed: "The head of the family is right. Ye Hongxue is not only powerful, but her appearance is also extremely outstanding."

As he said that, he glanced at Wu Xinyi and said, "To put it bluntly, his appearance is even better than that of the master of the house. His martial arts is even better."

"After she defeated me, she realized that my martial arts style was Qian Guo, so she generously gave me some pointers. I really didn't expect that Mr. Zhao could actually have a relationship with her!"

Wu Qingluan was extremely excited. Looking at the Hunyuan Qi in his hand, he felt that the master he worshiped today was so damn worth it!

I can actually learn the skills of my idol. Isn’t this really a dream?

While everyone was still in shock, Zhao Kang dragged His Royal Highness from the bed.

"You guys weren't too impatient yesterday, so you can sleep in today." Zhao Kang reprimanded.

Xiao Xuance was not angry. He laughed and washed his face and said vaguely: "I haven't slept well these past few days. I accidentally overslept. What should we do next, Old Zhao?"

"The Wu family will start putting out food later. You can follow and learn from it."

"understand!"

After breakfast, a group of people were sitting in the hall. Zhao Kang noticed that Wu Qingluan's eyes fell on him from time to time, with little stars in his eyes, and he understood that Zheng Xuan had told him that Hunyuan Yiqi was Ye Hongxue's technique.

Wu Xinyi smiled and said, "Please tell us what Mr. Zhao wants us to do next."

Zhao Kang nodded: "Then please ask the head of the family to send someone to open a warehouse to put food in. It doesn't need to be too much, so that the victims who rush to Qingzhou City can eat two meals a day."

It is simply a fantasy to rely on the strength of the Wu family to feed the entire disaster victims in Qingzhou.

But there is still no problem in supporting the victims who rushed to Qingzhou City in a short period of time.The young man in Confucian shirt on the side thought for a while and said softly: "Mr. Zhao, why don't you change the food distribution to porridge. Firstly, you can save food, and secondly, you can prevent others from pretending to claim it."

"After all, food prices are extremely high now, and many people are trying to take advantage of others."

Zhao Kang raised his eyebrows and gave a thumbs up: "You are very thoughtful. Who is the head of the family?"

"I forgot to introduce it to Mr. Zhao. This is Wu Longli, my brother-in-law. He is now famous for being a civil servant." Wu Xinyi explained with a smile.

Zhao Kang praised: "Carp Leaping over the Dragon Gate is a good name. He has been elected as a scholar at a young age. It seems that he has set his sights on officialdom."

It is difficult for businessmen's children to become officials, but the Wu family has a big business, so it can be done with some operation.

The price should be quite high, and Zhao Kang didn't point it out. He continued: "Master, I want Tiedan to come with me when it comes to providing porridge and disaster relief. It can also be considered as some experience. Is that okay?"

"It's all up to Mr. Zhao to make the decision, and the women have no objections." Wu Xinyi readily accepted Zhao Kang's proposal.

It's just that His Royal Highness is a little unhappy with his current name.

On that day, the Wu family began to recruit people and set up a large porridge shed in Qingzhou City.

Zhao Kang also learned that the Wu family had started releasing food for disaster relief half a month ago, transporting food to areas outside Qingzhou City and distributing it to the people affected by the disaster.

This made Zhao Kang, who already had a good impression of Wu Xinyi and others, feel more and more that he had chosen the right person.

Walking in the courtyard, compared to yesterday, Wu Xinyi put on a long blue and white dress today, which made her look very soft.

Her appearance was already very outstanding, and when she dressed up, she made her look even more stunning. Zhao Kang walked beside her and listened to what she said, and smiled: "With the head of the Wu family here, we can prosper for another 50 years."

"Good luck sir."

Wu Xinyi smiled and said: "This morning's apprenticeship is a bit abrupt, so please don't blame Mr. Zhao."

"It's understandable. The third lady is only eighteen years old. It's pretty good to have seventh-grade cultivation talent. It's enough to be my first disciple."

Wu Xinyi changed the subject at this time, stopped and looked at Zhao Kang, her eyes flashing: "Mr. Zhao, I dare to ask, but is there a way to suppress the current food price?"

"Has the head of the family guessed it?" Zhao Kang asked back. Wu Xinyi is not unsmart to be able to develop the entire Wu family to this point as a woman.

She nodded lightly: "When supply exceeds demand, prices will plummet. Qingzhou was hit, and neighboring Jiangzhou was unable to support it. But Tongzhou, Liangzhou, and Youzhou remained intact."

"In addition, there are also a large number of sweet potatoes grown in the three states. Now the autumn harvest season will be in a month or two. As long as this period of time is passed, the benefits generated by the skyrocketing food prices will attract a large number of northern businessmen to transport food."

Wu Xinyi said: "So it can be predicted that as long as food is circulated, food prices will plummet, right?"

Zhao Kang admired in his heart that this woman was really smart and guessed his inner plan completely.

As long as the food from the Three States flows into Qingzhou in large quantities, even if they continue to sell it at high prices.

Zhao Kang is cooperating with the Wu family to open some of the court's granaries, as long as the people are not starved to death.

As time goes by, considering the transportation cost of food, merchants will naturally be unable to hold on. As long as they find a few people to sell food at low prices, the price of food in Qingzhou will collapse!
