Wealth and glory seek stability

Those who wanted to cause trouble suddenly became quiet.

Jian Xi then stood up and said slowly, "This is my money. I can give it to whoever I want. You don't want to make progress, so this is your punishment. I don't allow lazy people on my farm. If you want to take the money, you can. But if you listen carefully and grow crops well next year, you will naturally get what you want. If you dare to make trouble, my two men have killed people on the battlefield, and these two knives don't have eyes."

Hua Rong and Jin walked to the front of the stage, their ferocious faces forced many people away.

They are all honest farmers, how could they dare to fight against swords and guns?

Jian Xi sat back in her seat and crossed her legs. "He Hao, there are still a few dozen strings of silver left. Let's find the top three in the three exams. The first place will get three strings of silver, the second place will get two strings of silver, and the third place will get one string of silver, a total of nine."

He Hao nodded.

"Wang Wencai, He Xiaotian, ..."

There were nine winners in total, all standing on the stage, and Jian Xi presented the awards personally.

Most of the top few were experienced farmers, except for the youngest one, He Xiaotian.

He Hao explained, "My Lord, this is my son. He doesn't like to study and loves to run around in the fields. What he likes most is to ask questions to the agricultural officials who come to the village to give lectures."

He Xiaotian was about ten years old, with dark skin and a pair of big, shiny black eyes. He felt a little embarrassed at the moment.

Jian Xi's lips curved up, "Like father, like son. Well done. There are top talents in every profession. Even if it's farming, as long as you excel, you'll be the top talent in the field and can benefit the people."

He Xiaotian looked up with an innocent look on his face, "Really? Can you become the top scholar by farming? But my father said that only by studying hard can you become the top scholar when you grow up."

Jian Xi turned to look at He Hao who had a warning look on his face, "He Zhuangtou, if the crops are well grown, people all over the world will be able to have enough food to eat. Wouldn't this benefit all people? Not everyone is suitable for studying. Aren't you the case?" After saying that, he took the copper coin handed over by Hua Rong and handed it to the next person.

He Hao thought about Jian Xi's words over and over again, and surprisingly found them to be very reasonable.

The few people who got the money had light steps when they went down.

So much money!

Those who didn’t get the money will be very upset.

If I had known that this money could be earned so easily, I would have paid more attention to the class!

Many people vowed in their hearts that they must get first place in the next agricultural assessment.

After Jian Xi finished awarding the prizes to everyone, she stood on the stage and said loudly: "Today is just an appetizer. Next year, I will give rewards to the families who harvest the most grain per acre. It all depends on your performance. There is no such thing as getting something for nothing here. The more you work, the more you get. If you don't work, you get nothing. I'll make it clear in advance. If the family whose average harvest per acre ranks last in Qianxi Village for three consecutive years, please move out of Qianxi Village. I can't tolerate any inconvenience.

Well, now that I have received the money, I would like to wish everyone a happy new year in advance! ”

Jian Xi was very skilled in giving a slap in the face and then a sweet date.

He Hao nodded repeatedly as he listened. There is no order without rules. Rewards and punishments are clear. Jian Xi is the real master.

Old man Wang is a veteran who has been farming for many years. This is the first time he knows that he can make money just by attending classes and answering questions. Together with the money he earned before, he earned a total of four strings of money today.

This is not a small amount of money.

In order not to be conspicuous when he went home, Old Man Wang took off his outer coat, wrapped the copper coins in it, and ran home excitedly. From the back, he did not look like a dying old man at all.

"Old lady, stop cooking and call everyone in the family over."

"What? You old man, are you going out to pick up some money? If I don't cook, what will I eat?"

"I really picked up money, look." Old man Wang lifted a corner of his clothes, revealing the copper coins inside.

Old Mrs. Wang was startled when she saw this. She quickly stood up and looked around to make sure there was no one. She walked to the door, closed it tightly, and tied it with a wooden stick.

"Are you kidding? Did you really pick this up?"

Old man Wang rolled his eyes and said, "You believe that? Who would lose so much money on the road? Didn't the village head just ask us to go to the threshing ground? This is a reward from the new owner."

"A reward from the boss? Oh! If every family gave a reward, the boss would be a fool." Old Lady Wang counted on her fingers, wondering how much money would be given away.

Old man Wang straightened his chest and looked proud. "Not every family has this. I won the first place in the last assessment by the Minister of Agriculture, so I got the extra three strings of money. Normal people who attended the class only got one string of money. With these four strings of money, our Dongsheng's leg can be saved."

Old man Wang has only one son, Wang Dongsheng, who accidentally injured his leg while hunting a few days ago.

All the money in the family was not enough for the medical expenses. They borrowed from all the relatives they could, but they were still short of three taels of silver.

This is just great.

Mrs. Wang's eyes moistened. "Okay, I'll go to Tiezhu's house and borrow a cart. We'll take Dongsheng to the city to find a doctor to treat his leg."

......

After Jian Xi finished the reward matters at the farm, He Hao's family insisted on taking Jian Xi to have a simple meal at the farm before leaving. With He Xiaotian's constant persuasion, Jian Xi finally agreed.

While cooking, Jian Xi went to the edge of the field on the farm, thinking of taking a walk.

In the distance, two elderly people, Old Man Wang and Old Lady Wang, were pushing a cart with a young man in his early twenties lying on it.

"Dongsheng, just hold on a little longer. Once we have enough money, we can send you to the clinic in the city to get your leg treated."

"Dad, Mom, I'm so unfilial. I made you run around at such an old age." Wang Dongsheng couldn't help crying.

"Don't talk nonsense. Family members don't want to be a burden." Old man Wang was pulling the cart in front, looking straight ahead and saying comforting words.

Since Jian Xi started practicing martial arts, her hearing has gradually improved. The words of several people came into her ears intermittently, reminding her of the days when she and Shen Nanxing supported each other.

Just when I was thinking about asking the reason, a person suddenly appeared on the road.

Er Gouzi pointed at Wang Dongsheng's leg and gloated, "Where are you two old fools going with this cripple?"

Old Man Wang didn't want to talk, so he thought about turning the car around and bypassing Ergouzi.

Er Gouzi refused to give in and took a step to the side, blocking Old Man Wang, "You old fool, I'm talking to you, are you deaf?

Hey! Wang Dongsheng, you were so arrogant before? You still want to snatch Xing'er from me. Look at your crippled appearance. Xing'er will definitely look down on you. Just wait to drink the wine at my and Xing'er's wedding!"

Wang Dongsheng clenched his fists until they creaked, gritted his teeth, and said angrily, "Er Gouzi, didn't you try to tease Xing Er last time and I gave you a beating? You're holding a grudge against me, but I'll make you pay when my leg heals!"

Er Gouzi felt like he was stepped on a sore foot, and a vicious look flashed across his face. "You reminded me. I think your leg is like this. Why don't I help you and make it completely useless, so that you don't have to go to the doctor and waste money." As he said that, he rolled up his sleeves and walked towards the cart.

Old Man Wang was terrified, but he couldn't put down the cart in his hand for a while. Old Lady Wang went forward to stop Er Gouzi, but was pushed onto the ridge of a field by the roadside.

"Mom!" Wang Dongsheng shouted.

Er Gouzi looked around and picked up a big stone, thinking of using it to hit Wang Dongsheng's leg.
