Chapter 486

The sun had already set when Fang Jinxiu and her party entered the city. Before entering the city, she specially asked the carriage to go around the city wall to take a look at the condition of the water canal.

The water level doesn't seem to have changed much since the last time I left.

However, the construction of this canal is huge, and it is almost as wide as a large river. If the water level changes greatly in just a few days, the people in the city will have already started to panic. How can it be like now? Normal life.

Fang Jinxiu only used some modern theories to speculate that a major drought might come, and it was always good to be prepared for a rainy day.

After entering the city, she glanced at Zhao Yi and Zhao Er, "You go find an inn and settle your luggage and carriage first."

The two of them were already used to listening to Fang Jinxiu's orders. They pulled up the carriage and turned around to find the inn. They were also very puzzled. Mrs. Zong obviously had a cooperative relationship with their young master.

Why do you have to find an inn to stay by yourself every time you go to the city, instead of staying at Zhao's house or letting the young master arrange a place to stay?

But they also knew very well that this was not something they should be concerned about.

After the two of them left, Jinxiu looked at Li Muhai again, "Uncle Li."

She just shouted, but Li Muhai had already said, "My boss, let me go to those building materials stores first. I can go home and live by myself, so I won't bother my boss to open a room for me."

Li Muhai hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Do you want me to stay at my house? This way I can save some money on the room fee."

Fang Jinxiu really thought about it seriously, "That's a good idea. Uncle Li, will it trouble you too much?"

Li Muhai smiled and said, "What's the trouble? There's no one at home anyway."

Fang Jinxiu nodded quickly, saving whatever you can, mosquito meat is also meat.

Yulian turned to Zhao Yi and Zhao Er, "Sister-in-law, I'll call them back."

Before the two of them had gone far, Yulian called them back, and the group went to stay at Li's house again.

After this delay, the sun had completely set and the sky was getting dark.

Originally, she planned to go directly to the county government office to ask the magistrate about the current water situation in the city. When Yulian cried out that she was hungry, Fang Jinxiu had to ask everyone to light a fire to cook.

After a long day's journey, everyone is really tired.

"Okay, sir, let's start cooking."

Since there were outsiders present, Fang Jinxiu did not take out the ingredients directly from the space. Instead, she spent some money to buy some food from the neighbor's house next door and made a simple meal.

After eating, she took Yulian to the county government office. "Sister-in-law, why do we come to the county government office?"

Ordinary people are afraid when they see Yamen. They rarely have the opportunity to interact with Yamen too much, and their attitude is more awe-inspiring.

Fang Jinxiu explained to Yulian while walking.

"People who do business will inevitably have to deal with the county government, such as renting and selling houses, population, real estate, or if they want to know what policy support the court has for the local economy, they have to go through government channels."

"If you're afraid of dealing with them, a lot of things won't get done."

Upon hearing this, Yulian immediately understood that her sister-in-law was giving her instructions, and quickly composed herself to relax, not wanting to show her timidity in front of the Yamen people.

Even if she has never done business, she knows that showing timidity in front of others is not good.

Yulian understood quickly. After Fang Jinxiu just said a few words, she became enlightened. Maybe she would be a good candidate for business in the future.

At this time, the Yamen was closed. Fang Jinxiu stepped forward and knocked on the door. The Yamen on duty was inside. He heard the knock on the door and opened the door after a while.

"What's the grievance? If you're not in a hurry, come back tomorrow. The magistrate has rested."

Fang Jinxiu didn't know if the county magistrate had another residence. She didn't say anything to the gatekeeper and just took out two taels of silver.

In front of these people, money works better than any words.

"Please, sir, please be accommodating. We have something urgent and want to see the county magistrate."

For the sake of money, the official's attitude softened a bit.

"Okay, I can pass the message for you, but I can't guarantee that the magistrate will definitely see you."

Fang Jinxiu smiled and nodded, "No problem, I'm sorry to help you. My husband's surname is Zong and her name is Fang Jinxiu. The county magistrate will know it right away."

The officer remembered the names, closed the door and asked them to wait outside.

When Yulian saw Fang Jinxiu going out with so much money, she felt heartbroken and puzzled at the same time.

"Sister-in-law, why did you give that official so much money? Two taels of silver is enough for us to stay in an inn. Isn't this money saved in vain?"
