Add to that the 30% tax, and if there’s another disaster, what will be left on the land?

Qing will just starve to death, how will the family live?

Aunt Zhou suddenly stood up, blocked the gate, and shouted:

"No, no, if anyone dares to go to my house to get the title deed, I will die here!"

The son of the farm manager said: "Oh, the son pays for the father's debt, even if he dies, he will still pay it back!"

"no!"

"Come on, pull her away from me!"

They immediately started to fight. During the fight, the skinny Erzhuang rushed back, stood in front of his mother, and shouted:

"Let my mother go. We'll pay you back for the medicine, and we'll pay you back now!"

"Oh, can you pay it back?" the son of the farm manager asked with a laugh.

He was willing to lend the money for the medicine in the first place because they couldn't pay back the money they gambled on. This way, he could get the land from the village, just like he had gotten the best paddy fields in the village before. From then on, all the land in the surrounding villages within a dozen miles would be his.

The skinny Erzhuang shouted, "We can pay it back. We'll borrow money, we'll sell everything we have. Today, you tell us how much it is. We'll pay it back in one go, and we'll never owe you again!"

The farm manager's son put away all the expressions on his face, and with a dark face, he held up two fingers and said, "Okay, this is what you said, two taels!"

Er Zhuang: "Two taels is two taels!"

Suancai rushed over and was the first to stand up and say, "Good brother, I'll lend it to you..."

Next, it was the skinny Erzhuang who went from house to house to borrow money. Finally, he couldn't get enough. Thinking of the few days of work he had done, he found Xia Shi's door.

At that time, Xia Shi had already received a box of copper coins from Xiyan, and received an instruction from his boss:

Just do good things and don’t worry about the future. The people in this northern border are all the ones he protected with his life!

There was such a commotion in the village, it was impossible for Lou Junze not to know about it. He was not deaf, and from the very beginning, he specifically asked Kuishan to exchange some silver.

As a military commander who can command troops, he is used to having everything under control and keeping everything in mind.

Although he did not leave the yard, he could see clearly everything that happened around him!

When I opened the gate, I saw Er Zhuang, who looked anxious.

"Girl, can I get my wages in advance?" Er Zhuang asked with a lot of uncertainty.

The workshop has its own rules and regulations. The date of each month for receiving wages is agreed in advance. Because no one is illiterate, we asked the old uncle to act as a guarantor. But now we want to receive the wages in advance, but we don’t know if it is possible, so Erzhuang asked this uncertain question.

Xia Shi held the money box and a stack of attendance books and said, "Okay, Master has told me that I can get it in advance if there is an emergency. How many days have you been working?"

Er Zhuang: "Seven days. I want to claim these seven days. Is that ok?"

Xia Shi: "Two hundred coins a month, based on thirty days, about six and a half coins a day, seven days is forty-six and a half coins..."

"What if all of our family members receive it?"

"Your family has three people working here, so it's 140 coins. Wait for me to make a record and then I'll give you the number..."

"Okay, thank you Manager Xia!"

With a plop, Erzhuang knelt down in front of her.

Xia Shi: “…”? ? ?

She was so confused that she had a lot of questions in her mind?

She didn't give him a penny more. She said it was an advance, but in fact she just gave him a weekly payment. It was what he deserved, the wages he deserved!

Although I plan to make up for it if it's not enough in the end, I haven't said it out loud yet.

Er Zhuang never mentioned that he wanted to advance the entire month's salary.

Only girls from the interstellar world know that being able to find a job, have a meal, and receive the wages they deserve on time is extremely lucky and worth following.

"Hurry up, let's register and count the money..."

The pickled cabbage that followed said, "Miss Xia!"

"Ok?"

"I'll take mine too, and lend it to Er Zhuang to pay off his debt!"

"it is good!"

"I'll take mine too!"

"Mine too!"

"Take all my stuff!"

Later, more than twenty people working in the kiln factory all took their wages and lent them to Erzhuang's family for emergency assistance.

The food supply is poor this year and it has rained, so few families have spare money. But if we can get paid for our work, we will lend it to Erzhuang's family first.

They didn't think about whether Erzhuang's family could pay it back, nor did they think about whether the money would be wasted.

In a word,

Watch and help each other,

We are all from the same village, so when there is a problem we should help each other and stick together. Otherwise, the village land will be swallowed up by those farms sooner or later, and not even an acre will be left. We can never let them succeed again.

Xia Shi: “Okay!”

Xia Shi simply spread out the account book, recorded everything one by one, and paid the wages!

Everyone gave the money to Erzhuang, who took it and quickly ran home.

Everyone received about one or two taels of silver as wages, and with the money borrowed from neighbors today, and after selling everything that could be sold at home, we finally collected enough money.

The copper coins in the box were given out. Unexpectedly, it helped the villagers in this way. Considering that the box was prepared by the boss a long time ago, Xia Shi thought that he was quite loyal and worthy of being the Crown Prince!

……

When Erzhuang arrived home, his mother was crying in front of the door, the fat man was standing at the door looking down at him, and a group of evil slaves were waiting to requisition the land with sticks in their hands.

"Here, here's the money. We'll settle it later. Here's the IOU!" Er Zhuang handed over several strings of copper coins.

"What?" They actually managed to collect two taels of silver.

Even the son of the manager of the neighboring farm was stunned.

Isn't it said that even if all the copper coins in the whole village were collected together, they would not be able to raise one or two taels of silver?

He came today to collect the land.

Is this actually enough?

"Bah, damn bad luck!"

He threw the IOU away and left with his evil slave.

……

On the way,

He was still wondering, "How do you think they got enough?"

“How are we going to take over their village’s land from now on?”

Although the land here is barren, it is close to their farm and is connected to it. He has been coveting it for a long time.

The evil slave took a few steps forward, turned around, pointed and said, "Master, look! What is that?"

"That's a kiln!" He went up and kicked the evil slave: "Damn it, do you think I don't know this? What's wrong with a kiln?" Was he mocking him for being ignorant? Don't kilns look like this?

The evil slave had no choice but to say: "They have business in the village, they have jobs, they earn a monthly salary, it will be difficult to take their land in the future!"

After all, who can afford to sell land? That's the family's ancestral property!

"Damn, they are really capable. These peasants can actually start a business."

He looked in the direction of the brick kiln, with a resentful look in his eyes!

"Master, how can we rely on these peasants? There are new residents in their village who have money and skills, so they can start a business..."

The evil slave recounted the whole story he had heard, and finally said: "...It's a pity that he was burned by the fire, he deserved it!"

"Who asked them to block the Master's way?"

"What's wrong with his face?" When the son of the farm manager suddenly heard the word "face", a piece of news he had just heard a few days ago flashed through his mind, about the reward of three thousand taels.

Evil slave: "Burned by fire?"

He asked excitedly: "It's burned? Is he missing?"

Evil slave: "Yes, then he must be wrapped up. I heard that no one has seen him!"

"Oh my God!" His mind was so bright for the first time. Could that person be the one, the one, the one with three thousand taels?

"Let's go, let's go to the government office!"

……

In the small courtyard on the hillside,

Lou Junze listened to Xi Yan's report in full.

Kuishan said in a deep voice: "Master, do you want to kill him?"

Lou Junze: "Let him go. It's time to meet some people."
