"You just see outsiders, even if there is no such thing, there will be refugees going this way, it's just a matter of time." Dr. Kong helped him up.

Then he squeezed his eyebrows and said: "But to be honest, the drought is getting worse and worse, and many wealthy households in the county are already planning to take refuge in the south.

The next days will be really difficult, so you should be careful. "

"Yes, then do you think you will deal with those people, or we will take care of them?"

"Well, you go back and look after them first. In the evening, I will discuss it with other people and officials in the county. No matter what the result is, I will give you a confirmation letter tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll let you worry about it." When Gu Chengrui said this, he took out two small porcelain bottles from the medicine box and handed them to him: "One bottle is for relieving fatigue, and the other is for preventing heatstroke. You keep it as a spare."

"Then I won't be polite." County magistrate Kong took it with a smile.

Then he asked him a few more words.

Gu Chengrui responded, then turned and exited the county office.

After coming out, I deliberately went to the shopping street to buy some medicinal materials.

When I went back and passed by the bank, I found that there were quite a lot of people going in and out of it. I went up to inquire and found out that many people were exchanging silver taels or bank notes.

I also heard that many people really plan to go south.

Going forward, there are also many people lined up at the grain store, but now it is limited sales, and each household can only buy five catties of grain per day.

Then, seeing that the cloth shop was deserted and still selling at 30% off, he went in and bought twenty batches of fine cotton cloth, three batches of silk cloth, and some needles and threads, and put them on the carriage.

When I was about to leave the county town, I heard someone shouting: "The leather is sold at half price, half-price leather, don't miss it when you pass by, there will be no such shop after passing this village."

Gu Chengrui walked over to take a look at the leather, most of them were sheepskin and rabbit skin, and suddenly lost interest, there are a lot of these things in the space.

Seeing that he was about to leave, the young man immediately stopped him with a smile and said, "Guest officer, don't leave, what kind of leather do you want, we have plenty in our shop, and you must be satisfied."

"You are selling in a hurry, are you going to close?" Gu Chengrui stopped and asked.

"Yes, business is not easy now, the boss wants to go south, so..."

"Understood, do you have any good skins here?"

"Good leather? What kind of leather do you want, see if we have it here?"

"Sable fur, fox fur."

As soon as the boy heard that he was a big family, he immediately nodded with joy and said: "I don't have mink fur, that skin is so precious that it was taken away by the dignitaries.

However, we have four red fox skins here, which are good for making a cloak. Would you like to have a look? "

"Okay, I won't go in if I have a carriage, please help me get it out."

"Wait a minute." After the boy finished speaking, he turned around and ran into the shop. After a while, he ran out with two leather bags, followed by a middle-aged man with two leather bags in his hands.

Gu Chengrui picked it up and took a look. The furs are those of adult foxes. The fur of the furs is very smooth and smooth. Moreover, the leathers are complete, so they look good at first glance.

Then he asked: "How much silver is this leather, if it is suitable, I want it all?"

"Twenty taels don't bargain." The middle-aged man said.

At the same time, the boy opened his mouth, and swallowed the words when he reached his mouth, but it was not difficult to see from his disdainful expression afterwards that the price of this leather was too expensive.

Seeing this, Gu Chengrui returned the leather to the middle-aged man and said, "Then you should keep it for yourself, it's not cheaper than usual."
