"I've seen the old man of the first family, it was the old man who saved my life! Thank you here!

The boy can't be repaid as a cow and a horse, and from now on, my life is the first master's. ”

"If the master is useful to the boy, even if you speak, I will not be ambiguous!"

These words were sonorous, but this one still carried the sound of a young man's milk, and in the ears of the old man in this hall, only amusement remained.

The first old man who was sitting at the top saw that this young man was a gracious person, so he was a little teasing.

He beckoned to Shao Manchu, who was still kneeling in front of him, and motioned for the other party to get up and reply: "How old is this kid of yours this year, where can I have a place to use a milk doll?"

Hearing this, Shao Manchu was not convinced, he likes to be more truthful, and when he really theorizes with others, he forgets to be afraid.

Seeing that the benefactor didn't believe him, Shao Manchu was in a hurry, so he raised his eyelids, patted his chest very seriously, and returned: "I have turned sixteen this year!

"Besides, it doesn't matter if the master needs to get it or not, I've figured out how to repay the master!"

Seeing that the young man was sure of what he said, the first master said, 'Oh?', and then asked: "Then tell me, how do you repay the favor?"

After getting the question of the first master, Shao Manchu became a little more courageous, and when he replied, because of excitement, the sweat on his head ...... It also floated a layer with it.

"Master Chu, this is my way to repay my kindness. ”

After saying this, Shao Manchu first wiped the sweat that was about to flow between his neck, and the other hand stretched his chest into his arms.

He pulled out a blue muslin pocket from inside his jacket and unfolded it layer by layer, revealing a thick stack of ...... That's all bills.

Then, Shao Manchu held the Quartet Baggage with one hand, and twisted the first layer from the pile of bills with the other hand.

Not much, just three sheets of paper.

The paper was a little old, and there were a few red finger prints on the paper.

Then he handed it to the chief steward beside him, and said the purpose of the bills.

"The chief steward, these are the silver IOUs that I borrowed from the old man's family after my father and my mother fell ill. ”

"I borrowed three times, the last time at most, two silver dollars. ”

Speaking of this, Shao Manchu was a little choked, but he was afraid that he would lose his sense of proportion in front of the master of the first family, and in order not to attract obscurity to the master's family, he lowered his head by three points to prevent this tear from being implemented.

By wiping his sweat, he wiped it indiscriminately, and then continued: "The first two times are the money for the medicine, and the last time is the cost of making the funeral. ”

"I will settle the money first, so that I can repay the favor without worry. ”

"It's just that my family has no cash, and my father is worried about this matter before he closes his eyes, so he must tell me to return this account before closing his eyes. ”

"So, I didn't have any money to pay for it, so I brought this. ”

After speaking, Shao Manchu twisted another sheet from the middle of the pile of bills and unfolded it again.

It's a bigot folio.

With a yellow background and black edges, there is also a big seal of the government.

This is a serious title deed.

The government-run ones are very formal.

probably felt that borrowing cash but using the debt in kind was suspected of being greedy for the price difference, and what Shao Manho said behind was a bit false.

"Master, this is the land that my father bought in the village. ”

"Three acres of fertile land, two acres of dry land. ”

"I thought that the three acres of good land were given to the master, and the debts owed by my Shao family might be settled. ”

"As for the remaining two acres of dry land, if the lord does not dislike it, I am willing to hang it in the name of the lord, and I only ask the lord to let me plant these lands, and I am willing to give the lord seventy percent of the harvest every year with the rent of the tenant farmer. ”

"Master Chu, do you think this is okay?"

Shao Manhoard left two acres of dry land for himself, and repaid him as a first-time tenant farmer.

This could be this poor boy...... The most sincere way to repay the favor I thought of.

Seeing Shao Manchu's extremely solemn expression, Master Chu smiled: "You kid, you abacus is a little confused." ”

"A few days ago, I just bought four acres and three points of land from Huang Village on the edge of Jicheng, and it only cost seven oceans. ”

"It's less than two dollars per acre. ”

"It is reasonable that you used three acres of fertile land to settle the arrears of three oceans, but you used the output of those two acres of dry land to repay your life-saving grace, isn't it a little thicker? ”

Speaking of this, the first master casually flicked his fingers twice, if there was an old official who had accumulated accounts for many years, he would be surprised to find that the old man in charge had actually planned to count on the abacus.

The master of the first family only pulled it two or three times, and then gave an account that Shao Manchu didn't understand too well.

"It takes 300 days for the wheat in Jiaodong to be harvested from the soil, and it is harvested once a year, and you have to look at God's eyes. ”

"Since you have your filial piety, the wind and rain will be smooth every year in the future, and the production in the field is only 200 catties of dry goods a year. ”

"I have six self-operated grain stores and three commercial banks that do grain retrading, so I naturally understand that when I buy and sell grain from south to north, the price is different from month to month. ”

"Let's calculate according to the most prosperous annual price, the rough harvest of wheat grains without a little processing, the price of grain is only 50 copper yuan. ”

"If you give me seventy percent of the grain, you will have to pay more than seven oceans a year, but this is not more than one year, but what you said is a long and long life. ”

"But how old are you this year, a day worker who has been able to work for 30 years without disease and disaster, do you know how much money is the output of 70% in 30 years?"

Knowing this, the first master didn't speak, he just stared at the young man in front of him and waited to see his regretful appearance.

Who would have thought, but this young man has no regrets, after the first master finished saying this...... On the contrary, it made Shao Manchu's expression more resolute, and he nodded and returned: "Thank you, Master Chu, for letting me know how much money this is." ”

"But I don't regret it. ”

"My father said, I am the last lone seedling of the Shao family, if my life is gone, then the Shao family will be broken. ”

"Today, the first master did not save me alone, but my bloodline. ”

"Besides, as long as the person is still there, there is hope for the future, if this person is gone, then there is no thought. ”

"I'm only sixteen this year, and with such a big kindness, I can't just bury my head in farming like before. ”

"When I have taken care of my body, and then I have settled the other account that my father owed before his death, I will give the remaining two acres of dry land to my lord, take some principal, and go out while I am young. ”

"I always have to earn my share of the annual commitment. ”

"Maybe ......" Shao Manchu's eyes lit up a little when he said this, and his words became a little brisker: "I can still make some achievements, even if I can't become a big man like Master Chu, but it's good to be a small businessman who has no worries about food and clothing." ”

This was said too seriously, which made the master and the steward in the hall stunned for a moment, and then laughed.
