Qiao Dalang's previous proposal was extremely reluctant for the village chief, but now that the matter is approaching, if he doesn't think about it again, what if these soldiers really want to burn the village in two days? Although he is the village chief, he doesn't dare to risk the lives of the entire village. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"It's not up to me to say anything. "The land that Qiao Dalang said was opened up by the older generation of their entire village, and then it has been reserved for the village to keep its own land, and every year the village will organize people to plant the land, and the grain planted is collected into the village's grain storehouse, which is said to have saved a lot of grain over the years.

However, in the past few years, the weather has been unpredictable, and there is often a shortage of grain, so the original grain stored before and after has been almost consumed. Otherwise, it would not be impossible to draw a batch of grain from the grain depot to these officials. And there is no need to think about using this land to exchange food with Qiao Dalang's owner and come back for a business as now.

"Almost every family in our village has a share in this land, and now we want to exchange this land for food, what thoughts and opinions do you have now, hurry up and say it. ”

The villagers are silent, and no one wants to exchange this land for food, but what can they do if they don't want to? Now it is imminent, if they don't exchange land for food, I'm afraid they won't even be able to survive this year.

"Da Lang, can't you tell your host's lady to lend us a thousand taels of silver to tide over the difficulties?" and the villagers who did not give up.

Qiao Dalang thought that he had already made what he said very clearly.

"Hua Erniang, it's not that I don't want to say it, it's just that I haven't been with Miss for a year. Do you think the young lady will be willing to lend us a thousand taels of silver unconditionally?"

Everyone was silent, in fact, they knew very well in their hearts that they didn't say a thousand taels of silver on weekdays, even if it was one or two silver, it would be regarded as a treasure. It is indeed impossible to ask the Song family to lend them a thousand taels of silver from the village for no reason. What's more, their Huangliang Village and Song Li's Living Water Village are simply villages that do not give in. If Qin Guoqiang on the other side of Living Water Village knew what happened to their Huangliang Village, it would be good if he didn't set off firecrackers to celebrate.

Zhang Lao Er was extremely unconvinced, how could this be? This was clearly Qiao Dalang's trick, why didn't everyone see it?

"Village chief, Qiao Dalang didn't mean it at all, you can't fall for him and give the piece of land in our village to the Song family so easily. ”

Qiao Dalang, don't think that I won't be able to see the little trick in your heart, don't you just want to help Huoshui Village bring down our Huangliang Village? I tell you that I will never let you get your wish.

"My hostess's lady doesn't necessarily want this piece of land in our village, not to mention the land in this world that you can't buy if you are not afraid of silver, don't you say?"

Someone among the villagers was finally tempted.

"Da Lang, you can talk in front of your host, or you can tell her. Raise the price a little bit?"

"Yes, help us raise the price, and don't let us lose too much. ”

"Eight taels of silver for the first place, the village chief should have the best idea of how much land we have. Qiao Dalang said.

The village chief paused and said, "It's a total of one hundred and eight acres of land. "What the village chief said is still empty, in fact, it should only be one hundred and five acres. However, when the government came to measure the land, it was 108 acres.

"One hundred and eight acres, that's eight hundred and sixty-four taels of silver. One pound of grain is ten cents, and eight hundred and sixty-four taels of silver can be exchanged for eighty-six thousand four hundred pounds of grain. One load of grain is one hundred catties, that is to say, eight hundred and sixty-four loads of grain. Village chief, I'm right. Qiao Dalang asked.

The village chief nodded, "That's right, there's nothing wrong with it at all. "It's only 100 acres of land to get back 864 loads of grain, which is far from enough. Not even a thousand loads of grain were gathered.

"The rest of our village can make up to 2,000 quintals of grain, what do you say we should do with the remaining 136 quintals of grain?" asked the village chief.

Everyone was in a dilemma again, even if they exchanged land for grain with the Song family, they couldn't solve this matter.

Seeing that the villagers had already agreed to use the land to exchange for food, how could Qiao Dalang be willing to miss such a good opportunity.

"Village chief, I still have more than 20 taels of silver here, which is regarded as my contribution to the village. ”

Qiao Dalang, who has always relied on the help of the villagers, is willing to take out twenty taels of silver to tide over the difficulties. Even if the others couldn't take out more, they still got together more or less seventy-eight taels, plus more than twenty taels that Qiao Dalang took out. There were a hundred taels of silver.

"For the remaining thirty-eight taels of silver, I will ask the owner to lend it to me. Qiao Dalang said, of course, all this is based on the fact that the village is willing to exchange land for food.

After a night, everyone finally made up their minds.

"Don't worry, the village chief, I will definitely help the village do a good job in this matter. ”

Zhang Lao Er didn't expect that he had told the village chief that Qiao Dalang was uneasy and kind, but the village chief still believed Qiao Dalang's words and was willing to exchange land for food.

"You all believe in him, and one day you will regret it. Zhang Lao Er said viciously.

Qiao Dalang doesn't care so much, now the land in the village has been negotiated for the owner, as long as the owner agrees. Then this piece of land belongs to the owner.

Song family

Song Li, who was busy during this time and barely touched the ground, finally remembered that there were still several corpses stored in his space.

"Damn, how did I forget this stubble?" Song said.

"Little aunt, what did you say?" Song Hua'er vaguely heard her little aunt as if she was scolding something.

"It's okay, I didn't say anything. "Song Li didn't dare to publicize this matter, if this was really known by these children, wouldn't it scare everyone.

Song Hua'er didn't ask Song Li, but just smiled: "Little aunt, you see that this is a silk flower that my eldest aunt gave me when she came yesterday, as well as silver earrings." Is it pretty?"

Song Xiaomei and his wife returned to Song's house early yesterday morning with adults and children, and the New Year's gifts prepared by Song Xiaomei for her nieces were much more generous than in previous years.

Song Li looked at the objects that Song Hua'er wore on her head and ears like a baby, and smiled. "Eldest sister, this flower will choose for you is really beautiful. ”

Song Hua'er proudly rushed to Song Liyile, "Last time, my aunt asked me what color I liked, and I said I like purple." As a result, my aunt bought me this purple silk flower. Saying that, Song Hua'er also carefully touched the silk flower on her head with her hand.
