igh officials to low-ranking clerks, everyone was collectively slacking off. 。Mr. Wen was also at home reading and writing, the books were sent from Luo'an Academy. 。Jiārén, this child, is meticulous...“Your family... your family is actually going to give grain to the villagers” "It's not giving grain, it's borrowing grain..." 。"Li Laotai laughed and replied." 。The village chief's face was flushed with excitement. 。"Whether it's rations or loans, both are great news! Every household is worried about running out of food in the autumn! Your family is truly a reincarnation of a Bodhisattva!" 。“This saved everyone in the village!”

Li Laoer quickly soothed the old man, wanting to help him sit down.

But the village chief couldn't wait even a moment, waving his hands repeatedly. 。"Wait a moment, I'll go and call everyone in the village." 。" He then sprung to his feet and ran away. " 。In a matter of moments, over ten families from the village gathered in Li's courtyard. 。Since it rained, the wells at each household have water again. Everyone is busy replanting and they've all been away for a long time. 。At this moment, everyone suddenly gathered together and thought that the village head was going to lead them in thanking the Li family for sending water earlier. 。However, to everyone's surprise, the village head said that Li Jiaqiu would be lending grain to each household during the autumn. 。This is simply fantastic news!Someone immediately exclaimed, “Really”“That’s wonderful, we won’t have to buy grain in the fall!” 。"You could buy it from your house with silver, my family can't afford to buy it. " 。Everyone was complaining endlessly, unhappy about the lack of rain and even more unhappy when it rained. 。The village head knocked on his pipe and shouted loudly to the crowd. 。"Just shut your mouths and listen to me " 。Before the drought, we all survived thanks to Li's well. 。Now that there is no food, the Li family took the initiative to say they would borrow grain in autumn. 。Such a good family, settling down in our Qingshui Village 。"We've hit the jackpot, our village is truly blessed! We can't let people down." He coughed twice and continued, 。"Thus, I'll have Mr. Li Er write a sworn statement." 。Each household's loan of grain should be written down with their names and marked by their fingerprints. 。Next year, each household has already paid their grain tax. They should receive an additional 10% as interest. 。Because this year's food will definitely be as expensive as gold. 。When people had nothing to sell, they even lent out their grain to help each other survive. 。Everyone can't be the same amount next year. 。That's too heartless! Do you agree"Agree, agree!" The villagers all nodded quickly. 。Nobody is a fool, the calculations are fast. 。Even though food prices have tripled now, for the Li family to ask them to pay back double next year is already kind of them. 。To my surprise, Li Jiacai only wanted a 10% return. This is practically like lending for nothing. 。Then someone, overcome with gratitude, said out loud, 。"After this, when the fields are weeded and harvested, everyone will call me one ..." 。Since my household also needs to eat grain, it's time to put in some effort. 。"Yeah, me too. Call me for work." 。“ At that moment, everyone else also responded, and the village head nodded in satisfaction. 。Okay, that's settled then. 。Everybody else should not borrow too much either! The Li family can only divide out fifteen mu of land. 。After all, they have a big family and Lao Zhao and his six friends are eating with them. 。Fifteen mu of land, a household can get about one mu of grain, plus the radishes and cabbages that are replanted in the field. 。Just tighten our belts a little, we can still make it to next spring. 。For a time, Li Lao'er rewrote the contract. 。The village head was the guarantor. Each household head stepped forward and pressed their handprint on their own names. 。Their names were followed by how much grain they borrowed and how much they returned. 。plain and clear. 。The Li family stood under the eaves, silently watching 。Jia Yin hugged Grandma's neck, truly admiring this old lady. 。Just by borrowing grain, the two words "borrow grain" turned all the villagers into allies of the Li family. 。After all, the Li family's harvest needs to go smoothly in order to borrow grain. 。In the next two months, the entire village worked hard to help the Li family clear grass and patrol for wild animals in preparation for the winter food supply. 。...and be wary of other villagers coming to steal and destroy... From one household against all who covet danger, to a whole village becoming a fortified city. 。One word's difference, yet worlds apart. 。As expected, the villagers were filled with hope, all as if they had been injected with chicken blood. 。Early in the morning, the Li family rushed to the fields. There were already a dozen villagers weeding...Things in the field came to an end, and Old Madam Li was in a good mood too. 。With the house quiet, I closed the door and counted silver with my granddaughter on the kang. 。Formerly, when I sold vegetables, the most I sold in a day was fifteen ounces. 。...just a minimum of one day, also up to ten ounces... 。Before and after selling for fourteen days, they earned one hundred and eighty taels. 。

To give Zhou Guan Shi eighteen taels

Two liang of food for a guest, just happened to have 160 liang leftover. 。Even someone as strong-willed as Old Lady Li couldn't help but have red eyes. 。Think back to when our family was worried about the eldest grandson's education, spending a hundred or two dollars a month. The whole family had to pull together before we dared to make a decision. 。Now, let alone once or twice a month, even ten ounces are affordable. 。And Jia Yin had already been rolling on the pile of silver. 。This is silver! She worked hard growing vegetables, harvesting them, and trading them for silver. 。Li Laotai was amused by her granddaughter's antics and laughed out loud. She hugged her granddaughter tightly and kissed her twice. 。

"Grandaunt's darling, our family will be enjoying good fortune with you! Anything you want, grandaunt will get it for you!"

Jia Yin immediately grabbed two silver ingots

Li Laotai's smile widened even more, she gently poked her granddaughter's little nose. 。This is all what you earned back, take as much as you want. 。 。Jiayin doesn't really like silver, she just plans to save up some little by little. 。Preparing for when I grow up, what will be useful 。Of course, she wouldn't have covered everything up. 。Then, with a flick of her hand, two silver coins were tossed into space. 。She started munching on the fruit and didn't even mention taking any silver. 。She's teething lately, her mouth is always itchy and uncomfortable. 。Chewing fruit is tasty and can also massage your gums. 。When she's free, she almost always grabs a few bites. 。Seeing her granddaughter so sensible, Granny Li couldn't help but be amazed once again. 。After tidying up the silver, just as he stepped out the door, a carriage stopped in front of his house. 。It turns out that Liu, the head of the鏢局, came to pay a visit. 。This is a distinguished guest! Soon, Lao Si Li hurried back from the field, and Tao Hongying also began preparing wine and dishes. 。The leader Liu is a pleasant person, and the young and old of the Li family all like him. 。Chatting and having drinks, by the time we sent him off, it was already dusk. 。Li Lao Si returned to the room, his expression carrying a few hints of hesitation. 。 Li Laozhen was busy bathing her granddaughter. Jia Yin walked over with her little legs and played with the water, making a mess. 。Jia An, Jia Xi and their sister played a water fight. Jia An even helped his sister take a bath, but as a result, they were chased away by Li Lao Tai from afar. 。Jia Yin stuck her tongue out at her brother, making Tao Hongying who brought water laugh along. 。This little girl, she really has no idea how many eyes she has. 。t Baozhu was a frequent hot pot eater. She was most familiar with the flavors and dishes.The lobby downstairs was entrusted to Li Laoer and Liu Ziheng. Both were skilled in socializing and adept at ha...
