The wonderful life of modern women in ancient times

"Dad, Mom! This is the money from selling Schisandra chinensis. Shopkeeper Zhou said our Schisandra chinensis is of very good quality and can be sold for 25 coins per pound. You can have as many as you want!"

Lin Dayong and his wife were very happy when they heard this! If everyone went to pick Schisandra chinensis and sell it for money, they would not be hungry anymore!

Lin Dayong stood up and said to Lin Xi: "Xi'er, let's go! Let's go to the village chief's house!"

The father and daughter walked towards the village chief's house one after the other.

Lin Xi looked at his father's back, wondering whether he should tell him about robbing the guards. Thinking about something, his steps slowed down.

Lin Dayong was walking quickly in front. After a while, seeing that Lin Xi had not caught up with him, he turned around and stopped to wait for her.

Seeing that his father had stopped and was waiting for him, Lin Xi trotted forward.

She decided to tell her father about the robbery of the guards to see his attitude. She hoped that her father would not be so righteous as to be inflexible.

"Xi'er, what are you thinking about? Your face was wrinkled just now!" Lin Dayong asked with a smile as he looked at Lin Xi.

"Dad, I need to tell you something!"

So Lin Xi told the story of how she robbed the guard in detail.

After saying this, she looked at Lin Dayong nervously.

"Good! You are worthy of being my daughter! Humph! A parasite like that only robbed him, which is considered to be letting him off easily!" Lin Dayong said happily, patting Lin Xi's shoulder.

Lin Xi breathed a sigh of relief.

Daddy Lin Dayong continued, "Xi'er, you must be careful not to leave any traces when doing this kind of thing. Observe the environment and make sure no one sees you!"

Lin Xi was immediately delighted! Oh, we are kindred spirits.

"Dad, don't worry! The old man in my dream taught me all these!"

"Okay, now I'm relieved! Xi'er, you were just worried about this, right? Don't feel any psychological burden when robbing a bad guy!"

"Hey, I get it, Dad!"

After saying this, and knowing that his father's attitude was the same as his, Lin Xi felt relieved! The same concept, it's easy to act!

After talking, the father and daughter continued walking towards the village chief's house.

The village chief's house was in the center of the village, right in front of the rice field. The two walked quickly and arrived there in a short while.

As soon as I entered the yard, I heard voices coming from the main room.

"After paying the taxes, the remaining food is only enough for the whole family to eat for two or three months, and we only have 700 coins. How can we survive? If we sell the land, no one can afford it except Dayong's family. Besides, Dayong's family doesn't farm!" This was the voice of the village chief's wife.

"Alas! Our family still has some surplus food, but there are those families who only have enough to pay taxes and have no surplus food!" The village chief's sighing voice came from the house.

"Village Chief, we have a solution!"

Lin Dayong shouted loudly, and walked into the house, and Lin Xi followed.

"Dayong, tell me quickly! What's the solution?" The village chief asked excitedly, pulling Lin Dayong's arm.

"Xi'er had a wandering master who taught her medicine before, so she knows some herbs. Yesterday, she went into the mountains and found a large patch of Schisandra chinensis. Today we are going into the city. Xi'er has already negotiated with the owner of Huichun Hall. He will charge us 25 coins per pound for dried Schisandra chinensis."

"25 cents a pound?!"

The village chief and his wife were pacing around the room excitedly.

The village chief walked around and calculated: "25 wen per catty. If the tax grain that each family needs to pay is converted into tax silver, the most expensive family will need to pay two taels of silver, which means 80 catties of dried Schisandra chinensis!"

He paused, looked up at Lin Xi and asked, "Lin Xi, are there so many Schisandra chinensis fruits?"

Lin Xi smiled and replied: "Uncle Village Chief, that huge field of Schisandra chinensis is endless, the tax money must be enough!"

"Lin Xi, I want to thank you on behalf of all the villagers. You saved everyone's lives! Dayong, you raised a good daughter!" The village chief was so excited that tears streamed down his face.

Lin Dayong is very proud, his daughter is excellent!

"Uncle Village Chief, let's harvest as soon as possible and don't let any of it fall to the ground and be wasted. The more we can harvest, the more money we can earn! And we can't slack off on the fields either. Didn't uncle say we should plant another crop of eggs?"

"Yes, yes, come on! Let's discuss this!"

After the three discussed for a while, the village chief rang the bell, and soon the villagers gathered at the rice field.

"Village chief, what's the matter? Is it not the higher-ups collecting taxes?" Chen Fugui asked in panic.

"Fellow villagers! This is good news! This is good news! We have a way to make money!" The village chief shouted happily.

"Village Chief, is this true?"

"Village Chief, what are some ways to make money?"

"That's right, village chief, what ways can we make money in this small mountain village?"

Everyone asked in a hurry.

"Quiet! Quiet! Listen to me!" The village chief rang the bell twice, and the crowd suddenly quieted down.

"It's the girl Lin Xi. She had a master who taught her medicine in the past. Yesterday, she found a large patch of the herb Schisandra chinensis in the mountains. Today, she went to the county to ask about the price. The owner of Huichuntang bought the dried Schisandra chinensis for 25 cents per pound. The girl Lin Xi is kind-hearted. She wants to bring the villagers to harvest together so that we can make money together!"

The crowd suddenly exploded!

The village chief raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet and continue listening to him, and people immediately fell silent.

"To be fair, one person from each family will go to collect herbs, and the rest of the people will prepare firewood at home to dry the Schisandra chinensis. Let's harvest the Schisandra chinensis first, and after a few days when all the Schisandra chinensis is harvested, we can plant another crop of ground eggs!"

After a pause, the village chief shouted with a rosy face: "Fellow villagers, we have hope for the future! Go back and discuss who will go up the mountain to collect herbs from each family, and bring your tools to the rice field tomorrow morning!"

The despair of yesterday was no longer on people's faces. The lifeless village suddenly came alive. The villagers gathered around happily, thanking Lin Dayong and Lin Xi, with hopeful smiles on their faces.

Lin Xi couldn't stand this. He kept saying "you're welcome" and squeezed out of the crowd and went home.

Lin Dayong stayed and reminded the villagers of the precautions before entering the mountains.

On the way back, Lin Xi's mind flashed with smiling faces, and he couldn't help but sigh that ordinary people have very low demands, and just want to have enough food to live.

This old emperor and the court officials are not satisfied, they are still making trouble! It's really a joke!

After dinner, Lin Xi's family got busy again. Some boiled water, some boiled medicine, and they worked together! Soon, Lin An was in the bathtub.

After taking the medicinal bath, Lin Xi first massaged Lin An’s acupoints.

Then take out the silver needle and disinfect it with strong liquor.

Before giving the acupuncture, Lin Xi said to Lin An seriously: "An'er, you have been weak since childhood, your Yang Qi is insufficient, and your meridians are blocked, so when I give you the acupuncture, you will feel pain and numbness, you must endure it and don't move!"
