Originally, Cheng Zhaoer thought that there was very little money, but in fact, the purchasing power of a penny was large. Compared to modern times, you can't buy anything for one yuan! And a pound of bud grains is only three cents, and a pound of bud grain noodles is only four cents.

Barren peasants guard a few acres of thin land, in the case of good wind and rain, one acre of thin land will produce more than 300 catties of bud grain, fertile land can reach about 400 catties of bud grain, according to the Great Xia Dynasty according to the harvest of 20% of the grain to pay grain water, that is to say, one acre of thin land finally harvested bud grains even if not eaten. I can't earn a thousand dollars, that is, one or two pieces of silver.

Now, although it doesn't seem to have affected the stone mill town where Cheng Zhaoer lives. But the shadow of war lies beneath the surface of calm. Slowly influencing people's lives.

First of all, almost every family has a man, and those who have a little money will pay, and those who have no money will be forcibly conscripted by the imperial court. In the end, it is predestined whether to die or live.

In addition, with the increasing disputes with the departure of the country, the imperial court increased the tax burden. Not to mention the rest, it is the grain tax burden that is closely related to them, the grain tax burden of the Great Xia Kingdom was only one percent and five percent, but it was only last year that it increased to two percent.

As for whether it will increase in the future, none of them, ordinary people, know about it, and they don't have the ability to influence such things.

However, these are still too far away for Cheng Zhaoer now. What she has to worry about now is how to fill herself and her round belly, so that she can live a better life and not be bullied.

The top priority is to make money, make money!

Thinking of this, Cheng Zhao'er cheered up again and continued to observe this stone mill town, where there was anything she could do to make money.

Snack? She is not afraid of making food. However, she has no cost, and her home is far away from Shimo Town. Even if you sell snacks, just coming to town is enough to choke every day.

Let's talk about this later. The top priority is to be able to earn money quickly.

As soon as I thought about it, I saw that the street in front of me was full of people, and some vendors didn't even do business, so they just closed their stalls and watched over there. Cheng Zhaoer saw a tofu seller over there, pushing a flatbed cart for tofu and stretching his neck into the crowd!

There was also a commotion from the crowd. It seems to be quite fierce.

Cheng Zhao'er was also curious, seeing that it was still early, so he also stepped forward to take a look.

When I went forward, I saw that there were seven or eight people arguing in front of a cloth shop. There was a shopkeeper who seemed to be there, and he was apologizing to someone! Cheng Zhao'er listened for a long time before he knew.

The quarrel with the shopkeeper was not the same as that of the shopkeeper, but because there was a small woman in the town who had a little savings, and she bought some cloth here, and the quantity was quite large. As a result, the shopkeeper in the store collected the money, but he didn't expect to count an extra 100 yuan, and the woman didn't know it, but she happened to meet a scholar who accompanied his wife to buy fabrics. Unexpectedly, this scholar has a lot of skills, and he even knows how to settle accounts, and the result is more than a mouthful.

After he finished speaking, he was refreshed and accompanied his wife home. The woman quit and asked the shopkeeper to recount on the spot. The shopkeeper can't help it, and the customer can't afford to offend.

So, I did the math again, and sure enough, I counted more than I had before, but I didn't count more than a hundred dollars, and the woman quit, and asked the shopkeeper to count again, and the result was different for the third time.

As a result, the shopkeeper's hard work and calculations three times were three different results. At that moment, the woman became very angry, and the other people who had bought the fabric in the shop did not leave because they saw the excitement, and they looked lively.

As a result, they questioned the shopkeeper's ability to settle accounts and demanded a recalculation.

Of course, the shopkeeper refused, and repeatedly promised that there was no problem, but where were others willing to believe it, and it became even more noisy. The woman who provoked the incident before even asked for a refund, but she didn't buy the cloth.

This Cao Xing shopkeeper is also aggrieved, he actually really wants to yell, don't buy it, this store is not short of your business, but now, if he doesn't notice it for a while, things are deadlocked, but he can't say this. The reputation of the shop has been ruined. If the young owner knew, he would not have to skin him.

You must know that their Jade Silk Hall is not just his shop, it is available in all of Great Xia, and the town is only a small branch.

Once this reputation is broken, there is a reputation for deceiving customers, and it is a small matter to close this small shop, if it spreads in other places, such as the shops in the capital, so that it affects the business, he can't apologize even if he dies!

The problem is that it's not his fault, this small county has a pitiful amount of business every day, and the special accounting room happens to be the old mother who passed away and went home on leave.

Who knew that when the bookkeeper was there every day, there were no big customers, and the woman happened to be in the bookkeeper's home, and she came.

As a result, although he was the shopkeeper who could settle accounts, he was not a professional after all, and there were many customers at that time, so it was possible to make a mistake at once.

After that, the woman roared urgently, where had he been persecuted like this in his old man's life for fifty years, and he shook his hand and miscalculated.

Now, it is difficult to recover, in addition to apologizing or apologizing, he just hopes that these people will be kind and stop chasing and beating hard.

Looking at these noisy crowds, listening to the shopkeeper's explanation, and glancing at the people around him who were watching with relish and coaxing, Cheng Zhaoer thought about it.

Perhaps, now is the time to make money.

It's just that she is a woman, and no one will believe her when she comes forward like this. Still have to disguise. Cheng Zhao'er suddenly became happy, but she didn't expect to bring Geng Yiyuan's clothes out today to bring the right ones.

No, it's going to come in handy now.

After thinking about it, Cheng Zhao'er quietly left the crowd and found a secluded place and walked in.

When she came out again, the ordinary little woman who couldn't be ordinary anymore was gone, and she was replaced by a young man.

Cheng Zhaoer just gave birth to a child, because she was thin before, she didn't even need to wrap her breasts, and it was even flat, but after giving birth, her belly had not completely returned, and she still had cheeks, so she was only seventeen years old, and she was always a little fleshy. Therefore, disguised as a teenager, people will not suspect that this is a woman, but will only think that it is a naughty teenager who has not yet taken off his childishness.

In this regard, she also wanted to look a little more mature and convincing.1 However, after all, she was young and had limited materials, so she could only do so. Now, she can only rely on her ability to make them believe in her once!
