Poor Family: I reached the top by marrying a wife

Chapter 425 A Thousand Thousands of Dollars

"Hahaha, since the Marquis said so, how can I not help him?"

"I'll go find the owner of this brothel right now!"

Lucius laughed, then turned and left.

Jiang Chen doesn't care about tens of thousands of taels of silver, so he must have brought a million taels of silver!

This time, he is going to make a lot of money!

Soon, a person dressed as a mother followed Lu Xiu to Jiang Chen.

"I have met the Marquis~"

When my mother saw Jiang Chen, she bowed with a smile on her face.

"Haha, no need to be so polite. I want to take Zhihua away. Name your price!"

Jiang Chen said bluntly.

"My lord, I treat Na Zhihua as my own daughter, I..." The old procuress looked reluctant.

"Fifty thousand taels!"

Jiang Chen said coldly.

"My Lord, this is not about money, I..."

"One hundred thousand!"

Jiang Chen said coldly!

"Ten...hundred thousand!?"

The madam was shocked when she heard this!

This was the first time in all her years of traveling that she had met such a generous guest!

She subconsciously looked at Lucius.

"Lord Jiang, how about I be the middleman? Eighty thousand please!"

"how?"

Lucius said with a smile on his face.

"Sure, bring over Zhihua's indenture contract!"

Jiang Chen agreed without hesitation, and then took out a silver note of 80,000 taels from his sleeve!

The madam took the silver note and hurried to get the contract of sale.

"The Marquis is indeed generous!"

"Today, the Marquis spent a fortune to redeem the Oiran. This will surely become a great story in the future!"

Lu Xiu looked at Jiang Chen with a smile on his face.

"Haha, Master Lu, thank you for the compliment!"

Jiang Chen smiled faintly and didn't say much.

Lucius didn't say much.

After all, Zhihua followed Jiang Chen, which meant he had placed a spy next to Jiang Chen!

Zhihua, you can't escape from his grasp!

……

Soon, Zhihua was brought in by the brothel owner.

Moreover, the madam was holding Zhihua's indenture contract.

"My lord, this is Zhihua's indenture contract. From now on, Zhihua is yours!" The old procuress handed the indenture contract to Jiang Chen, speaking in a flattering manner.

"Oh well!"

Jiang Chen nodded with satisfaction, then left with Zhihua.

After leaving the brothel, Jiang Chen handed Zhihua's indenture contract to Xu Meng.

"Go to the county government office and remove Zhihua from slavery!"

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Meng respectfully took the indenture contract and left.

"My Lord, you...you are..."

Zhihua stared at Jiang Chen blankly, her face full of disbelief.

She was just a prostitute and a slave of Jiang Chen.

In this era, slaves are the masters' goods, and it doesn't matter if they are beaten, killed or given away!

But now that Jiang Chen has freed her from slavery, things are different!

This……

"Zhihua, there are no slaves around me. You are my woman, and I don't want you to be a slave!"

"Do you still have family?"

"If there is, I can help you take it away!"

Jiang Chen said with a smile on his face.

"family……"

When Zhihua heard this, she was slightly startled.

But soon she shook her head: "Sir, Zhihua has no family left, she is all alone."

"Okay, then follow me!"

"I won't treat you unfairly in the future!"

Jiang Chen smiled, then left with Zhihua.

On the other hand, the news that Jiang Chen spent a huge sum of money to redeem the prostitute in the brothel spread throughout Jinling County in an instant!

Everyone became more and more convinced that Jiang Chen must have brought a huge amount of money this time!

Otherwise, he wouldn't be so generous!

And it was after this that the grain production in Jinling County began to grow rapidly!

It directly increased to three hundred Wen!

……

As a result, the people who had some savings and could afford to buy food could no longer afford it.

They also joined the group of refugees to get porridge.

When the Jinling County Magistrate heard the news, he was not panicked but burst into laughter!

"Hahaha, so many people come to get porridge!"

“We’re running out of food soon!”

"When the time comes, Jiang Chen will have to buy food!"

"We can make a fortune!"

"However, this speed is still a bit slow!"

The Jinling County Magistrate rolled his eyes and called the housekeeper.

"Master, are you looking for me?" the butler asked respectfully.

"Go, notify all the noble families and have them release all their servants to get food!"

"By then, I wonder how long this government grain can last!" said the Jinling County Magistrate coldly.

"Yes!"

The butler took the order respectfully and then hurried to inform the news.

After those people from the aristocratic families in Jinling County flocked into the porridge stalls, the food consumption in Jinling County doubled!

The Jinling County Magistrate hurriedly found Jiang Chen!

"Lord Jiang, it's bad. There are more and more victims now. We...we can't bear it anymore!" The prefect of Jinling said anxiously.

"Haha, County Magistrate Wang, why are you panicking?"

"In a few days, grain merchants from all over the country will arrive. By then... won't we have food?"

Jiang Chen said with a smile on his face.

"My Lord, you don't know!"

"Now the grain has grown to three hundred coins!"

"If we buy it, I'm afraid... I'm afraid it will be a drop in the bucket!"

The Jinling County Magistrate said anxiously.

……

"Haha, it's just three hundred coins, it's nothing!"

"Don't worry, nothing will happen!"

Jiang Chen still maintained his nonchalant look.

"This……"

The Jinling County Magistrate was shocked.

At this point, he was certain that Jiang Chen must be rich!

This time, he made a lot of money!

But just as the Jinling County Magistrate was about to leave, Jiang Chen suddenly said, "County Magistrate Wang, I see that there are too many disaster victims."

"You must maintain order and nothing must happen, understand?"

"Otherwise, I'll hold you responsible!"

"Lord Jiang, rest assured! I will pay attention!"

The Jinling County Magistrate heard Jiang Chen's words and said respectfully.

Those extra victims are all private slaves of the noble families, and nothing will happen to them!

He is not afraid!

After the Jinling County Magistrate left, Zhihua came to Jiang Chen's hall holding a teacup.

"My Lord, please have some tea."

"Well, let it go!"

Jiang Chen nodded, and then said: "Zhihua, I have told you many times that you are not a maid, you don't have to do these jobs of serving tea and pouring water, just take a rest."

"My Lord, I...I can't sit still, so just let me do it~" Zhihua said with a charming look on her face

"Oh! You!"

Jiang Chen shook his head helplessly.

"My Lord, you have spent a lot of money to save me. I cannot live on empty stomach. I...I heard that you are short of money for disaster relief. I still have some jewelry. Why don't you sell them?"

"It is also a token of my gratitude!"

Zhihua said this with a pitiful look on her face.

"Hahaha! No need to do that. This time I brought a million gold and silver with me, which is definitely enough!"

"Just take it with you!"

"Hahahaha!"

Jiang Chen laughed out loud.

But after Zhihua heard Jiang Chen's words, a hint of joy flashed across her eyes!
