Chapter 17: The Robbery (2)
I saw Zhou Yanan raise his head and ask: "Do you do human teeth? Do you have a way to get a girl? I need a lot." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
"Now it's not a famine year, and I'm afraid that a girl who looks better will cost fifteen taels of silver each. If you can't find the straw pole in any year, then it is possible that people will give you the girl for nothing. β
"I don't know how many hands I have turned! I want to ask the girl directly to buy it at home. Will there be those poor families who don't want to raise girls, so they throw them into the wilderness?"
"There must be that. However, sometimes they don't bother to run that far, just boil a bucket of boiling water, and if a girl is born, they will drown immediately. β
Zhou Yanan shuddered. Her life is not bad, she was not born in such a family.
"There's no way around it. The farmer does not feed the idlers. Girls are far inferior to boys in strength and work. If the harvest is bad, even adults can't feed them, let alone children. β
"How do you know?"
Ling Li grinned: "We business people naturally have to run on the spot, so as not to be cheated and not even know." β
"You're not secretly doing business in the annex, are you?"
Ling Li blushed and found an excuse: "That's what Lao Zhang is doing!"
Fortunately, Zhou Yanan just asked casually. She pondered for a moment and asked, "If I am willing to pay for the newborn baby girls, will the farmer still kill them?"
"Naturally, it depends on the price you offer. If you can't even pay for the journey, you can't save it. β
"I thought that if there was a glimmer of life, they would keep those girls alive. β
"Haha! When the harvest is bad, it's common for people to eat people! Hungry people, what can't they do? Those croppers may be the most cold-blooded parents in the world. β
"Then you can send someone to collect the baby girl in each village for me, and set it at three taels of silver for a baby! You can also send them to the county seat and subsidize their travel expenses." Those who receive babies will be given a commission of one or two pieces of silver for each one they receive. β
Ling Li's eyes seemed to be like a bou gujing: "Do you know what the consequences will be if you do this?"
"Three taels of silver can be used by a family for two months. Then, these croppers will desperately have children for this money. Also, those who like to be opportunistic, in order to earn that little commission, will abduct girls from those families who are willing to raise girls. β
Zhou Yanan thought to herself, this is exactly the result I want. Only when there are fewer girls will men find the problem.
She continued: "I also adopt the girls who have been raised. Sell it according to age, and it will cost you an extra 500 yuan a year. Now this season, the seed has just been planted in the ground. Last year, it was said that the harvest was not good, and these tenants were afraid that they did not even save food for food, let alone seeds. Most of these seeds were given credit from this year's field rent. Then you send people to raise the price of rice, the higher the better, and trade them in cash, and they are not allowed to take credit. β
Ling Li's face was still smiling, his mouth was dry, and his upper lip was stuck to his teeth, and he couldn't put it down. He picked up the bowl and took a sip of tea, licked his lips, and whispered, "You woman, you are so ruthless." "When the price of rice is raised, the tenants feel that they can no longer raise girls. Which family still has the cash to buy rice to eat? Even those who are reluctant will sell the girls for money. They were full of thoughts, big deal, after the grain was harvested, they could buy the girls back!
But that's not possible. Before harvesting grain, Zhou Yanan would naturally send someone to lower the price of rice again.
Zhou Yanan smiled silently. Ling Li asked, "What do you want so many girls for?"
"I'm going to run a girls' school. Recruit all these girls to eat, live and study for free. β
"That's it, I thought you were going to do something immoral!"
Zhou Yanan knew what kind of livelihood he was referring to, and glared at him: "I am also a daughter, how could I do such a shameless thing?"
Ling Li shrugged his eyebrows: "It's not that you don't know, the mothers there are all women." He leaned over to Zhou Yanan's side, lowered his voice and asked, "Your female student, let me also join a share!" He felt that Zhou Yanan was really hidden, and he didn't know where she got so much money. Looking at her, she seems to be richer than him, a guy who has opened restaurants and shops and made a lot of money.
Ling Li only has four hobbies in his life: cross-dressing, making money, planting flowers and cooking. When he met a girl who was richer than himself, he was naturally itchy and wanted to ask her how to make money.
Zhou Yanan sneered: "A big man, why are you involved in girls' affairs? Are you ashamed?"
Ling Li's face was not red and his heart was not beating: "I'm a big purchaser, why can't I get involved?" Zhou Yanan laughed out loud and laughed.
"Oh well. Today, Daikin has a population of about nine million. Women make up two-thirds. We only accept girls before the age of twelve, so a million girls can still receive it. β
She lightly opened her red lips and said a number that made Ling Fuxing jump in shock.
Ling Li jumped up: "In this way, if I deduct half of the commission, I will also have 500,000 taels of silver to earn!"
Zhou Yanan looked at him with a smile: "Naturally." β
"Good sister, you might as well tell me, where did you get so much money?"
"Have you ever heard of the Five Ghosts Fortune Technique?"
"Isn't that long gone? Good sister, don't you do? You teach me. β
Zhou Yanan naturally couldn't teach it. According to legend, these five ghost fortune techniques are to use the power of ghosts and gods to collect wealth. Those who accumulate wealth need to use the money to do good deeds, so that the demons can use the accumulated virtues of human kindness to seek liberation from samsara. These people who seek wealth are only acting for the demons and gods. At the end of the day, it's just an errand runner.
And Zhou Yanan was born to split a channel between the two worlds of yin and yang, and send those ghosts to Lechuan to reincarnate.
Because of this, she can easily save so much money.
It is not Zhou Yanan's obligation to do good deeds and accumulate virtues, she wants to help the six million women here get out of the sea of suffering, which is what she wants to do.
Here, Zhou Yanan persuaded Ling Li: "This 500,000 taels is not a small number. I don't know how to meet, I don't know if your eight characters can afford such wealth. I am most afraid of wealth and decay, but I will lose my life. β
Although Ling Li likes to make money, he is also afraid of death: "It's terrible." My father hasn't told me about his daughter-in-law yet!I'd better use the money to buy a house for your female student!" Ling Li didn't like money, he just enjoyed making money. Therefore, Zhou Yanan persuaded him to give up this windfall, and he listened.
"I don't believe you haven't decided to marry yet!" Ling Li is the prince of King Shen, and he can inherit the title in the future. Even if he has always been out of tune, those who are interested in climbing the dragon and the phoenix are in a hurry to marry him!
"Of course, it's not that people look down on me, it's that I don't look down on those ordinary women. Ling Li said angrily. His looks, that's top-notch. He has always been arrogant, and naturally he refuses to yield to those vulgar people. I want to find a perfect woman.
He remembered Steward Zhang's words again: "Judging from the decades of experience of the old slave, Miss Tuesday will definitely be a beautiful woman when she grows up." If you want to capture the hearts of beauties, you have to hurry up from now on!"
He scolded Lao Zhang at the time: "Old minion, you actually dare to entertain me, but it's against you." He thought Steward Zhang was making fun of him for not having a crush.
Lao Zhang smiled: "Ye is thinking, Miss Zhou and our Long Live Lord have an extraordinary relationship? Long Live Lord loves Zhou Yin very much, so naturally he doesn't like her sister anymore." Long live the Lord with great fanfare, and he made all kinds of moths out of the female officials, but it seems to be made for those villains who step on the low and praise the high. β
According to the old slave, Zhou Yin should have the intention of entrusting Gu before he died, but he would never let his sister-in-law marry her man. β
This Lao Zhang is also very powerful, and he actually guessed things eight or nine without leaving ten. Zhou Yin really wanted Ling Heng to take care of her sister-in-law. As for letting Zhou Yanan seal it, it was just a smoke bomb released by Ling Heng. In such a fuss, it seems very reasonable for him to insist on appointing Zhou Yanan as a servant, and no one will object again.
is also thanks to Zhou Yanan is a waiter. Otherwise, it would be the Zhou sisters who suffered in the bookstore this time.
Thinking of this, Ling Li secretly glanced at Zhou Yanan. Alas, isn't it just a yellow-haired girl who looks a little more delicate? A good-looking yellow-haired girl is also a yellow-haired girl! Isn't Lao Zhang Mo coaxing me?
"That's right. Because Zhou Yanan had nothing to do with himself, he replied lightly, and said: "You can use the silver to buy some fields, find reliable tenants to rent seeds, and we will collect fifty percent of them." "Nowadays, the landowners find someone to farm for them, and they generally harvest 70% or even 90%.
Among those who make a living from farming, even one percent of them have their own land and land.
Zhou Yanan can be regarded as doing good deeds in this way.
Ling Li calculated for a moment and said, "I'm afraid it's hard to be self-sufficient." β
"It's okay, I still have some money here. Zhou Yanan was unhurried: "I plan to let all girls know how to read, this is free of money." If you want to learn some talent etiquette and the like, those with bad qualifications will have to collect money. β
Ling Li was also a person who listened to the strings, and immediately reacted: "You are trying to make money from those who are bent on sending girls to the palace." β
Zhou Yanan smiled proudly: "Yes, I'm in charge of the draft." If I continue to speak, from now on, only the beautiful women who have entered the women's school and studied are qualified to enter the palace to face the saint, and who would not dare to send the girls in the family to the girls' school?"
Zhou Yanan plans to teach them literacy first. After reading a few books, I will teach them what love is.
Love, very good, because love is hard. Loving others as human beings is perhaps the hardest and most important thing to give them. They must use their whole lives, with all their strength, to gather their loneliness, pain, and upward excitement to learn love.
She also plans to send a plaque to each branch of the women's school as a sign of encouragement, which reads: Why is the eldest woman without a husband!
