After marrying the sister next door

An Shengjin sat down and showed off to Anji next to him, "How about it? We bought it in the county yesterday." His family can now receive more than 1000 taels of bonus silver every year, and he has spare money to buy land and build a house. Finally, I also thought about something I didn't dare to think about before, tsk tsk, it's okay to go to the county town to enjoy it, this day is really like a fairy.

An Ji looked at the big gold chain worn by An Shengjin with a smile, and was about to nod in agreement when she noticed that the color of the gold chain seemed wrong, so she couldn't help squinting her eyes and asked, "Uncle, where did you buy this gold chain?"

She bought a complete set of gold jewelry for her daughter-in-law. The shopkeeper of the jewelry shop told her how to judge the purity of gold. Sheng Jin's thick gold chain is obviously yellow and white with gray, maybe he was cheated by someone.

After An Shengjin glanced at the village chief, he whispered to Anji, "This was introduced by an acquaintance. The price we bought was 50 taels of silver, which is several taels cheaper than the jewelry store."

They were not stupid enough to go to a jewelry store to look at the price of a gold chain. They bought it because it was really cheap. After all, gold can preserve its value. If it was so cheap, they could earn a few taels if they sold it right away, so they gritted their teeth and bought one.

The corners of Anji's mouth twitched slightly when she heard the words, well, as soon as she heard this, she knew that she didn't buy them from a regular jewelry store. Now she is sure that these people have been cheated, and she wants to remind them after the meeting, otherwise, what are they talking about for a while now? I can't listen anymore.

She knows that these four like to go to the city together to drink tea and listen to music this year. Elder, she can't say anything, I hope the village chief will take care of it, otherwise there will be troubles in the future.

Even though she thinks so, she also knows that people's hearts can be controlled better when they are poor, and if they are rich and confident, they may not listen to the village chief.

An Shengcai waited for the others to arrive, looked at the crowd and said, "Everyone knows that this year is not good. The fields in our village are better and have not been flooded by rain, but I heard that other villages have no crops. After this year's autumn harvest, the food will definitely increase greatly, everyone will go back and urge the Baoli people to let them have enough surplus food at home..."

This year's prodigal day, the sky seems to have leaked and I haven't seen a few days of sunny days. Although it's not heavy rain, it can't stand it. Their village has the advantage of being high, otherwise this place will be ruined Produce.

The increase in grain involves the price of grain collected by the distillery, and it also involves safety issues. Imagine that all villages in ten miles and eight villages know that Dahe Village is rich, and it is easy to worry about collecting too much grain.

Everyone nodded after hearing this, and An Shengmao thought of what he saw in the county and said: "The price of grain has gone up. We saw long queues outside many grain shops in the county. I heard that there was a famine in the south this year. Qu County The nearby villages whose land was soaked heard the news and were worried that there would be no grain to eat this winter, so they all went to the county to buy grain.” As a result, the price of grain rose within a few days, and I heard that many grain shops were closed. Sold out.

The village head and Anji looked at each other after hearing this. If this is true, it will be troublesome. There is a famine in the south and the north is also affected. Not to mention that this year's grain harvest is not easy. If the grain is not received, the winery will not last long. We have to suspend work, which is okay to say because we are afraid that the imperial court will issue a ban on alcohol. In that case, we will not be able to make wine for two or three years, and we can only sell stock wine.

After thinking about it, Anji said aloud: "I'll ask someone to inquire about this matter. If there is really a famine in the south, our winery will stop working."

Even if there is no alcohol prohibition, the work will be temporarily suspended. There is no need to push the winery to the forefront in order to make some money. After all, most people worry about food. At this time, the winery is still using food extravagantly to make wine. Isn’t it annoying? In order to declare to the outside world that there is no grain for wine making, this will save people from worrying about it.

As soon as An Shengcai heard this, he knew what it meant, nodded in agreement, and put the overall situation first.

After hearing this, the people present began to whisper to the people around them, what would happen to the villagers working in the winery if the winery shut down.

An Sheng ignored everyone's whispers, and continued: "There is too much money in the village now, and it's not safe to keep it. Let's discuss what to do with the money."

Their village has now set up a minimum living security fund. As long as they meet the needs of the elderly, weak, women, children, sick, disabled, and poor families, they can receive one tael of living security money from the village every year through the vote of the village chief, and the village will also give each household a bonus during the Chinese New Year. Ten catties of pork and ten catties of frozen fish are usually handed out during important festivals. Even so, the money is not spent much. He thinks that the money is getting more and more, and it will attract people's attention if it is lost. Although he can afford to pay, it's not worth it. Why don't you let everyone think about what they can do with the money.

After listening to it, everyone immediately discussed with the people around them. Their opinion was to buy land. Farmers are willing to buy land. The money in the village buys the land, so that there will be income every year, which is not only enough to cover the expenses of the village, but also has a lot of surplus. The remaining silver can still buy land, isn't it? This big family has family land, and it's good for them to have village land.

After hearing this, Anji had no opinion. The village bought some land and leased it to villagers with little land. This would not only collect rent but also help the villagers increase their income.

After hearing what they said, An Sheng frowned and reminded: "Buying land is a good thing, but how can there be a lot of land?" The idle land in the village has been almost bought by several shareholders and villagers.

The big guys were speechless when they heard this. They all knew the situation in the village. Over the past few years, the villagers had a lot of spare money. Farmers like to add some land to their families when they have money. The villagers have basically bought out the idle land in the village. , Even those wastelands were sold by the village chief to the villagers who are not rich. Now the poorest family in their village has five or six acres of land, which is unmatched by other villages.

Anji thought for a while and then suggested: "You can buy a Zhuangzi or go to Fucheng to buy a shop for rent. The annual rent is enough for the village's expenses."

Zhuangzi is full of fields. If there is a suitable one, she also wants to buy one. It would be nice to be a farmer and take care of it. Zhu helped to find out, when she came back from her travels, she would buy more greenhouses, and the vegetables grown in winter would just be sold to her.

As soon as everyone heard that this was a good idea, thinking that the wine shop in Fucheng was rented from someone else's yard, they couldn't help suggesting to buy a shop, which happened to be rented to the wine shop to open the wine shop. Rather than giving the money to others, it is better for the village to earn the money.

As for the nearby Zhuangzi, I have never heard of anyone selling it, and if it is too far away, it is not easy to get it. To put it bluntly, these people have never thought of buying land for tenants from outside the village.

Only then did An Sheng know that Anji had a connection, so she was busy paying attention to the shop and the Zhuangzi. After buying the Zhuangzi, she could send people to take turns to take care of it. 5000 taels of silver can't buy all the shops, right?

Anji nodded when she heard the words, and she could only ask Qian Jinzhu for help in this matter. She knew that the Zhuangzi near Fucheng is not something you can buy with money, and those who sell these things usually only spread rumors in the upper circles, waiting for ordinary people to buy them. Knowing that it may be after Zhuangzi changed hands.

After everyone discussed the matter, the village chief asked the shareholders to stay, and the others can leave first.

After An Shengcai waited for the others to leave, he frowned and looked at the four people wearing the big gold chains and said, "You can't forget your roots when your life is over, look at what you are dressed like, what do the rural people want to do after imitating the urban master's attire?" , why don't you wear satin clothes and become a master, don't do business all day, go learn others to listen to music and go shopping in the building, will you have to get a few concubines back in the future, and you will be happy when the house is not peaceful No, the children in the village will take the imperial examination in two years, I don’t ask you to set an example for the children, but don’t bring this kind of atmosphere back, you don’t have to let the children follow suit.” He said this I have endured it for a long time, and I hope they will listen to me when I say it today.

Mr. Zhou said that there are a few good seedlings in the village school, and he plans to let them take the college examination in two years. He also hopes that there will be a scholar in the village to give the children a good start.

When Wang Fugui and the others heard this, their faces immediately sank. Why can't they spend their money? Are they in charge of spending their own money? They were both angry and disapproving of the village chief's words.

An Shengjin and An Shengmao didn't dare to say anything, but Wang Fugui and Wang Changgui were not so polite. The village chief scolded them in front of so many people, why should they be polite, and said this immediately .

Others could only pretend to be deaf and dumb when they heard the words. They were not good at participating in this matter. After hearing what Wang Fugui and Wang Changgui said, Anji shook his head in disappointment. Rein in the precipice, so as not to cause a greater disaster in the future.

When An Sheng heard this, he looked at Wang Fugui and Wang Changgui with a cold face, and after a while he frowned and said: "That's right, I really don't care if you spend your own money, I'm talking too much today, but remember if you If you do something that harms the winery, then I’m sorry and we can only act in accordance with the regulations.”

After the words fell, he turned and looked at An Sheng Jin An Sheng Mao asked: "What do you two mean? Do you think the same as the Wang family?"

An Shengjin An Shengmao dare not confront the village chief, they are the An family, An Sheng is not only the village chief but also the patriarch of the An family, what if he gets angry and drives them out of the village? Getting their son out of the distillery or something could easily be done.

An Shengcai had been gaining prestige in their hearts for a long time, and the two said flatteringly: "We don't have such an idea. We really shouldn't do this for the sake of the children. We won't go to the county in the future if we have nothing to do." Although a bit reluctant, they still He gritted his teeth and said so.

Wang Fugui and Wang Changgui sneered when they heard this, these two cowards spend their own money so badly, Wang Fugui's emotions suppressed by An Shengcai for a long time suddenly exploded, and a thought of going against him arose, and he still sneered in his heart An Shengcai is just a miser. How can he give birth to cubs after allocating so much money? They have suffered for half their lives, so why can't they enjoy themselves.

An Sheng saw that the two of them were acting well, so he gave a few words of warning. Sheng Jin and Sheng Mao were both from the An family, and he would not just sit and watch them ruin their family. As for Wang Fugui and Wang Changgui, he no longer He planned to meddle in his own business, but he wanted to see how the two ended up.

An Shengcai didn't even ask everyone's opinions, and directly announced that Anji would resign as the head manager of the winery, and that An Hai would take over as the head manager of the winery a month later. Anyway, as long as he and An Ji agreed, it would be fine for An Hai to take over.

After hearing this, everyone couldn't help looking at Anji, seeing her smiling and nodding to prove that what the village chief said was true, they didn't know what to say for a while.

Anji knew why the village head asked her to be the chief manager for an extra month. One was to give her time to hand over, and the other was to deal with the shutdown of the winery, so that she could understand that she was leaving.

Wang Fugui just ignored everyone when he saw An Sheng, knowing that he wanted to show them off, he snorted coldly and remained silent.

When An Shengmao heard that his son took over the post of chief steward, he was happy and at the same time broke out in a cold sweat. If they were like the Wang family just now, his son's chief steward probably would be useless.

When the village chief asked them to leave, Anji called Ansheng Jinwang Fugui and others, and euphemistically said that the gold chain looked a little wrong, and asked them to go to a jewelry store for appraisal.

Wang Fugui and Wang Changgui left with a cold snort, but An Shengjin and An Shengmao felt suspicious in their hearts. They knew that Anji was not the kind of person who would aim at nothing. Since she said that, she might be wrong. Thank you. After passing her, the two walked away full of doubts.

An Sheng just shook his head, the cheapness of the people in this city is not so easy to take advantage of, told An Ji that he also wanted to buy a shop Zhuangzi, if there is a suitable one, tell him that the family will not be separated for the time being, and stay in this way More money will not make more money, it is better to spend it to make money.

Anji smiled and agreed, and said a few words to the village chief before leaving and going home.
