After appeasing his family, Mao Yulong kept the pile of grain like a hill in the yard: "Grandma looks at the food in my yard, doesn't it mean that something is wrong?" ”

Grandma's family is also a small family, and she has never seen so much grain, so she looked at Mao Yulong with a puzzled face. The mother also came back to her senses at this time, and asked in surprise: "What the hell is going on?" Where did so much food come from? ”

Mao Yulong held his grandmother with one hand, and the little girl walked to the house with her mother.

After entering the house, he invited his grandmother to sit on the hot kang head, and poured water for his uncle and aunt, Mao Yulong said with a smile: "I am about to go to school, the livelihood of this family, and my filial piety to the teacher after entering the school. ”

"What's the news?" Uncle was the first to be interested, this is a merchant who does a small business, and he is very concerned about any novel news, maybe there will be his own opportunities.

Mao Yulong said in the vernacular of the old god: "In the first year, that is, in the third year of the Apocalypse, at four o'clock on the 10th day of February, there was an earthquake in Yingtian, Suzhou, Songjiang, Fengyang, Sizhou, Huai'an, Yangzhou, Chuzhou and other six prefectures and two prefectures in Nanzhili, especially Yangzhou Mansion.

According to the newspaper, more than 380 battlements of city walls and more than 20 city shops collapsed in Yangzhou. The walls of the city wall collapsed, the Gaochun earthquake sounded, the houses collapsed, the floods flooded, and the whole area became a country. And Changzhou, Zhenjiang, and Yangzhou were not spared, and the sound of the earthquake was like a huge thunder, shaking down countless houses and crushing hundreds of people. Other areas have been devastated. ”

The uncle sighed: "Natural disasters and man-made disasters, this God really doesn't let people live." ”

Grandma and Mother clasped their hands together on the kang and prayed for the people who died with devotion on their faces.

"The imperial court did not watch the people have no food and clothing, and the emperor took out a sum of money from the treasury and prepared to buy grain in our areas that were not affected by the disaster."

The people in the room immediately felt grateful for the emperor's mighty voice.

Uncle's eyes lit up: "You mean, you're going to have a hoarder?" ”

Mao Yulong laughed, showing righteousness and awe-inspiring: "Of course not, how can I do that unconscionable thing?" ”

My uncle was disappointed, but he also lost a sigh of relief. Although he lost an opportunity to make a lot of money, fortunately, his little nephew did not have a black heart.

"But I don't hoard, it doesn't mean that the price of rice won't rise, don't have more, I borrowed this four dollars and one stone on credit." When the first month comes, it will rise to at least eight dollars and one stone, and no matter how high the price of grain will rise, I will sell it, and after such a toss, I will have 40 taels of silver, and my future expenses will come out. ”

The first uncle stood up and applauded: "Make some money normally, not black-hearted money with a clear conscience, and my uncle will support you, this is indeed a good way." ”

Grandma was also happy for this smart grandson, but she still asked suspiciously: "You can discuss this matter with your mother, why do you want to call our family?" ”

As soon as Mao Yulong's eyes rolled, he had a good excuse: "When the time comes, we can earn forty taels of brown rice for eight yuan, but if we hull these brown rice and turn it into polished rice, it is estimated that we can sell it for one tael or two yuan." In that way, without the loss, we can earn at least twenty taels more. So, I asked my grandmother's family to come over and help with the rice. Then he said solemnly: "When the matter is over, I will give my grandmother's family ten taels of silver as a reward." ”

My aunt's eyes lit up at that time, my man got up early and was greedy for darkness, carrying the burden of a merchant, walking the streets and alleys, and the interest he earned every day, and he was frugal and frugal, accumulating some things, buying some daily household business, and clothes on his body, etc., except for a year's use, there was only sixteen or seven taels left. It's only half a month, and if you still eat and drink your brother's, you can have ten taels of silver, which is really a foreign fortune, and now, your family's life will be better.

But grandma said: "It's all a family, whatever salary you say, just help." ”

The uncle also said: "That is, the parents are short, and helpers are commonplace, and they should be, not to mention their own family?" ”

The old lady and the man said this, and the aunt was a little disappointed.

Mao Yulong couldn't do this in order to keep them, so he said: "Otherwise, it's useless for me to keep the rice bran and broken rice left over from the rice, so I'll take it to my uncle to dispose of."

This arrangement is very appropriate, and the mother is also happy, so that it can not only save everyone's face, but also allow the mother's family to get some income benefits. After all, broken rice can be used to make porridge, and rice bran can be exchanged for some silver when it is sent to the pot, and these grains of 100 stones are always worth seven or eight taels of silver.

This was a happy event, so my grandmother and uncle stopped refusing it, and my aunt became happy. So everyone decided to stay first, and then get up early and be greedy for rice to finish this thing as soon as possible.

Mao Yulong watched the happy family eating and talking, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, this nonsense is really tiring.

But this is just the beginning, as the so-called nonsense has to use a hundred nonsense to lie, his hard life is still ahead, and now Mao Yulong is really looking forward to the mutiny coming soon.

But as soon as this idea came out, I was very disdainful of myself at that time, what kind of person am I.
