Ji Wan looked at Xie Xianhua's tall and thin back when she turned around and walked with her head bored, and frowned in confusion.

She raised her voice and asked, "If you have a fever, I'll show you, why are you walking so fast?" ”

Who knows, as soon as she finished speaking, Xie Xianhua walked faster!

Ji Wei: ......

Ji Wan, who was confused, returned to Xie's house and found that Xie Xianhua always avoided her.

However, she saw that Xie Xianhua's face had returned to normal, and she was relieved.

But Ji Wan found that in addition to Xie Xianhua's weirdness, there were also Bao and Qiao's eyes looking at her, which was also weird?

She was just about to ask them about it, when suddenly, there was a faint commotion.

There was noise, there was crying, there was scolding.

Ji Wan and the Xie family opened the courtyard door curiously and looked over.

I saw the villagers of Qinglu Village, with angry faces on their faces, rushing towards the village chief's house in groups.

Ji Wan walked a few steps quickly, kept up with the team, grabbed a familiar lady and asked, "Auntie, what happened?" ”

When the other party saw that it was Ji Wan, his face was softer, and he sighed.

"Hey, everyone heard that Lai County Ling had run away, so they all had to ask the village chief about the situation."

Ji Jing's heart sank, and she thought that Lai County's order could be hidden for a while.

Wait for the prefect Bi to come up with a way, even if everyone knows, there will be no chaos.

Who knew that things would suddenly burst out.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed through her mind, and she thought of a possibility.

She was skeptical......

Is this a revenge from Lai County's order?

As long as Lai County orders the news of his escape to be publicized, Fentong will be in chaos!

Ji Wan asked with a tense little face, "Who did everyone listen to?" ”

"I heard that it was a few people who looked like foreign businessmen, but everyone didn't believe it, and then I went to the county government and asked, guess what? Lai County ordered to run! ”

Ji Wan sneered.

Where did the foreign businessmen come from, who wanted to spread small words to the villagers?

If it's not Lai's county order, who will it be?

Ji Wan had a faint bad premonition!

Does Lai County Order have any follow-up moves?

She suppressed the anxiety in her heart and went to the house of the head of Bai Village with the villagers.

The head of the village heard the movement and walked out of the house.

His brows furrowed, his face solemn.

"Village Chief, what should we do now?"

"Kill a thousand knives! I thought I could have a good year this year, if the people from the money bank came to ......"

"Oh, I can't live anymore, God—"

……

The villagers were gossiping and crying.

The white village chief looked tired, sat on the threshold, lowered his head, and smoked a dry cigarette.

The smoke was too thick to see his face.

When everyone was done venting, the head of the white village knocked the smoke pot and stood up.

He looked around at the anxious faces of everyone and said in a deep voice.

"I got the news earlier than you, and I'm anxious, what can I do? cough cough cough ......"

Village Chief Bai was so emotional that he coughed violently!

Ji Wan saw that Village Chief Bai's cheeks were red and his lips were pale, which was obviously a precursor to a serious illness.

She asked worriedly.

"Village Chief Bai, if you don't have a break, I'll help you get a few stitches."

The white village chief's weak hand was clenched into a fist, pressed it to his mouth, and after coughing a few times in a sullen manner, he waved his hand weakly and refused.

"I'll calm everyone down first."

He lifted his old face and looked at the crowd.

"Don't panic, this matter has been reported to the prefect, and I believe that the lord will be able to come up with a charter for us."

"Really? Will the prefect help us out? Someone asked in surprise.

Village Chief Bai and Ji Wei remembered at the same time what Bi Wu said when he left, and their hearts were heavy.

Bi Wu said that his father might not be able to manage it......

The two looked at each other, intending not to tell the villagers beforehand.

If the villagers knew, wouldn't they be in chaos?

The two silently prayed that it would be best if things were resolved satisfactorily.

"Boom Boom Boom ......"

Suddenly, a fast horse galloped in.

"Phew—"

A square-faced man dressed in the Bifu guard uniform dismounted.

He walked straight up to Ji Wan, clenched his fists, and said in a deep voice.

"Mu Yang has seen Miss Ji, and the fifth son of my family said, please ask Miss Ji to inform the villagers and prepare the silver as soon as possible, and the people from Shun Qian Zhuang will come to the door to ask for silver in the near future."

"What?!"

The villagers who reacted quickly shouted in horror.

One after another, the villagers recovered from the shock.

They thought of the six-cent high interest rate they had signed with Shunli Money.

Thinking that the interest will not be repaid, they will turn into this money to regenerate the interest, and the interest will roll, and they are afraid that they will not be able to pay it off if they sell their children and daughters......

Someone couldn't bear the blow, his body went limp, he sat on the ground, and wept in a daze.

Someone broke down and cried.

Someone vented his emotions, clenched his fists, and slammed into the trunk of a tree on the side.

There are also people with desperate eyes and muttering: "God, how should I live!" ”

……

The head of the white village was shaky.

He looked at Mu Yang expectantly, hoping that what he heard just now was just a joke from the other party.

Ji Wan grabbed Village Chief Bai and looked at the Muyang guard, her voice was clear and powerful: "Please tell the Muyang guard about the specific situation." ”

Mu Yang glanced at Ji Wan's calmness.

He thought for a moment and added: "My lord visited the steward of Shunli Bank, and they must take back the principal, and as for the interest, after receiving a layer of interest, it will no longer be profitable." ”

Ji Wan learned that each family borrowed about 300 taels, and one layer of interest was 30 taels.

Although the interest rate is a little higher, it is better than closing the principal and rolling the interest every month.

She came to the spirit and asked, "I don't know how much time can I forgive when I go smoothly?" ”

The villagers are also very concerned about this, a matter of life and death.

It's all on the screen and listening.

"One year, after one year, if you can't pay it off, you will still pay another layer of interest next year."

A year?!

The villagers who had hope in their hearts instantly extinguished the light in their eyes.

How can it be three hundred and thirty taels of silver a year?!

Ji Wan frowned, calculating the possibility.

Jujube nourishes the middle and nourishes the qi, nourishes the blood and calms the nerves, eases the medicinal properties, is a good cash crop, I don't know how much the market price is?

After a moment, she took a deep breath to cheer up the villagers.

"The medicinal price of jujube is very high, don't be discouraged, doesn't it mean that it has been planted for several years, and it will bear fruit this year? As long as you sell it, you will have income. ”

"But to whom? Everyone in the neighborhood grows dates, how can they be sold? Some villagers retorted.

"Since we can't sell it to people nearby, let's sell it to other places, Yanchang Kingdom is so big, we can even sell it to other countries......"

Ji Wei's voice is sonorous and inspiring.

She said: "There are many people present, don't they still have the silver to sell dried fish?" If we work hard, we will be able to pay off our debts this year! ”

When the villagers heard this, their spirits gradually recovered.

Although the debt is high, it is not impossible to see the end.

Many people who sell flavored dried fish with Ji Wan and have an income of about 100 taels in their hands suddenly don't feel so difficult in their hearts.

Only the villagers, who did not participate in the cooking of dried fish, were anxious in their hearts and questioned loudly with indignation.

"What about us? We don't have dried fish to sell, we don't have silver, what are we going to do? ”

Ji Wan raised her eyes, her eyes looking inorganic.

This wave of people is centered on Widow Liu, among which Aunt Lin's daughter and Dong Yan are also there.

She frowned and asked Village Chief Bai in a low voice, "Why are Dongyan's mother and daughter here?" ”

Village Chief Bai was already impressed by Ji Wei's ability to control the field.

And Ji Wan has something to say, she can go straight to the core when she looks at the problem, and she can see the light of day in every desperate situation under her analysis.

Bai Youfu's heart is a lot more relaxed, and his chest, which was stuffy before, is also much more comfortable.

The more he looked at Ji Wan, the more satisfied he became, and he began to think in his heart......

"Or the position of the village chief of Qinglu Village, don't pass it on to Bai Duowang, pass it on to Ji Wan?" ’

For Ji Wan, who is designated as the next village head, Village Chief Bai naturally knows everything and says everything!

He glanced coldly at the small group that was shouting, and snorted coldly.

"Most of these people's families are people who yearn for Wangshui Village, many of them or their sons have married girls from Wangshui Village, and some of them have married their daughters to Wangshui Village."

Ji Wan was stunned, no wonder they could make a move to stand by and watch when they came back to Wangshui Village to grab things!

Just when Ji Wan was stunned, Village Chief Bai spoke with a cold face.

"Some people who shout that there is no dried fish to sell, don't take Ji Jing's kindness as stupid, what did you do in the first place, don't you have any points in your heart?"

Village Chief Bai was not polite at all.

There is also a bit of shame, secretly bowing his head and hiding in the crowd.

There are not a few who are stubborn.

Ji Wan and Village Chief Bai secretly kept everyone's expressions in their hearts.

Mu Yang said goodbye to Ji Wan.

"Mu Yang has already told everything he knows, if Miss Ji has nothing to do, Mu Yang will leave?"

Ji Wan shook her head and said gratefully: "Go back and thank your son-in-law for me, and I'll give him a few recipes." ”

Mu Yang's smile deepened, the Bi family was in this matter, but real money contributed both money and effort.

Ji Wan is so good, and it is not in vain that the Bi family has a good relationship with her.

Mu Yang thought for a while and said, "Miss Ji might as well send it to me, I have something I want to say to Miss Ji in private." ”

Ji Wan was stunned for a moment and nodded.

The two walked to the entrance of the village, and Mu Yang spoke.

"Miss Ji, there are some things I think would be better to talk to you, and you can be ready."

Ji Wan's heart sank suddenly.

She slowly twisted her eyebrows and said in a deep voice, "You say." ”

Mu Yang exhaled a long breath, looked left and right, and after making sure that no one could hear it, he still lowered his voice uneasily.

"I didn't say anything about this just now because I saw that most of the villagers were on the verge of collapse, and I was afraid that they would not be able to stand it."

Ji Wan pursed her lips.

Mu Yang glanced at Ji Wan with pity.

"The adults found out that the jujube trees that Lai County ordered everyone to plant were all fake jujube trees."

Ji Wan's mind went blank.

Fake jujube tree?

The whole Fentong has planted fake jujube trees?!

I've been planting it for several years, and no one has found out?!

Her lips kept shaking, and she squeezed out a sentence only after half a sound: "You mean, it won't bear dates?" ”

Mu Yang nodded solemnly, looked at the shocked Ji Wan, and sighed.

"It's going to break out sooner or later, so get ready."

Ji Wan Mumu nodded, and absentmindedly waved goodbye to Mu Yang.

She hurried back to the village.

In front of the village chief's house, everyone had dispersed, and Village Chief Bai was still waiting for her with a worried face.

Ji Wan patted her little face, barely squeezed out a smile, and walked quickly towards the village chief.

"Girl, are you okay?"

Ji Wan pretended to be relaxed and replied with a smile: "How can I have something?" Village Chief Bai, go back first, I want to go around. ”

Although Ji Wan had a smile on her face, Village Chief Bai still saw a lot of things in her eyes.

He wanted to ask several times, but thinking that Ji Wan was a measured child, he still didn't ask anymore.

However, Village Chief Bai still explained uneasily: "This time the sun is about to set, don't go too far, there are wolves on our mountain." ”

Ji Wan looked at the caring look on Village Chief Bai's face, her heart was slightly warm, and she responded obediently.

"I'm just walking around the neighborhood, not going far."

After bidding farewell to Village Chief Bai, he followed his memory and walked towards the Xie family's 'jujube garden'.

She wants to see what the fake jujube trees in the entire Fentong County look like if they can be deceived?
