Nine hundred taels of silver, which is a huge amount of money! In the Dream of Red Mansions, Grandma Liu said that more than 20 taels of silver were enough for their crops to live for a year, which means that her family can now rely on this silver for 30 or 40 years.

It can be seen that it is not that he has no money, but that the father named Yan Zhun does not know how to be flexible, and he would rather be barren than sell it while guarding dozens of acres of good land.

However, it is also understandable that in these years, just as the poor in later generations will not dare to sell their houses easily, no one here will dare to sell their land and property easily, and they will also have a reputation as a unfilial loser.

Yan Heng will not be reluctant, nor will he be sad, nor will he care about the evaluation of others.

After all, he still has a little Yan Song who wants to be the first assistant, and he can have hundreds of thousands of acres of land in the future, so why be bound by dozens of acres of land at this time.

What's more, if you don't sell it in time, you will be taken away by the people in the clan, and at that time, you will not only have no land, but you will not even get money.

Now that he has gotten a lot of money, even if Yan Zhun's father knows, he shouldn't be too guilty.

Yan Heng shouted Xiao Yan Song early in the morning, urging him to read and write, while he was going to take the money to the farmer's house to exchange for some rice, oil, meat and other foods.

According to the current prices, one cent of silver can be exchanged for a bucket of rice, Yan Heng took a penny of silver for five buckets of rice, plus a chicken, ten eggs, with chickens and eggs, you can also supplement some nutrition for yourself and Xiao Yan Song.

After all, reading costs the brain, and the quality of life has to keep up.

However, just when Yan Heng was boiling eggs and gruel and shouting to Xiao Yan Song for breakfast, he heard a lively outside.

Yan Heng walked out while eating eggs, but saw his cousin Yan Zhishi and a large group of people from the clan talking around his own field, and some people were even hoeing grass and releasing water in their own fields.

It can be seen that his cousin and those in his clan who covet their own land can't wait anymore, and they are going to come to cultivate their own land so soon.

Yan Heng didn't understand why his father didn't farm or farm, so he didn't rent it to the villagers.

Now he can guess it, but he is afraid that these villagers deliberately did not rent the land of the Yan Heng family at the instigation of some people, just to force the Yan family to give the land to the people of the clan for free.

Yan Heng doesn't want to be evil with others, but he is not afraid to speculate on others with the greatest malice, and now his cousins and the people in the clan should be bound to get their own land, otherwise they would not have openly seized their own land in broad daylight with such fanfare.

It's a pity that Yan Heng will let them come back soon, making them completely disappointed.

"Cousin, what are you doing here?"

Yan Heng stepped forward and asked.

His cousin Yan Zhishi, who was still half swollen on his face, snorted:

"What else can you do, your father has been imprisoned in the county government by the county lord, and he can't even keep his reputation, it seems that he can't pay back the money, and these fields that are barren in your family have to be returned to the clan; Take advantage of the spring ploughing day to release water to reclaim the land, and hold a clan meeting when the farming is over, and then take back your family's field in the name of righteousness. ”

"The clan confiscated the field, what does the little brother's family eat?"

Yan Heng asked with a smile.

Yan Zhishi was afraid that Yan Heng would beat him, so he couldn't help but take a step back and looked at Yan Heng with contempt:

"What does it matter to us what you eat, you deserve to starve to death!"

"Okay!"

Yan Heng sneered, thinking that it seemed that this cousin already knew his father's whereabouts, but he just didn't expect that this down-the-ground action was too eager.

Yan Zhishi glanced at Yan Heng with disdain, now he is determined to get the fifty acres of good land for his second uncle's family, and he doesn't think that Yan Heng, who is only in his teens, can make big waves, and now that there are many people on his side, he is not afraid of Yan Heng's action.

Yan Heng didn't do anything, but just took out the documents for the transfer of the title deed: "Cousin, I don't know, the younger brother has already sold all the fields in the family to the family warden Ouyang Shishu's family." ”

"In other words, these acres are already owned by the Ouyang family, and the cousin and the people in the clan want to cultivate these fields, and the younger brother can't stop them, but I have to tell the Ouyang family, of course, if the cousin and the clan want to rent these fields, I can help you match, maybe Uncle Shi can collect less rent."

Yan Heng said unhurriedly, and said unhurriedly, and said when he was about to make up the knife:

"My cousin may not know where Uncle Ouyang Shi came from, he is the household warden who collects taxes in the county, and his family business is very large, and he has a relationship in Nanjing."

But Yan Zhishi had already heard it like five thunderbolts, and looked at Yan Heng in surprise: "You actually sold your family's land!" ”

"Cousin will know when you look at it, how can there be a fake in black and white", Yan Heng handed the document to Yan Zhishi.

Yan Zhishi was immediately angry and lost after seeing it, he originally thought that he had 50 acres of good land at his fingertips, and even thought about using this to establish his authority in the clan, and use this to suppress his second uncle's family, but he didn't expect that he would watch his more than 50 acres of good land return to the Ouyang family.

Yan Zhishi has a kind of pain of having his things taken away, and then looking at the disappointed eyes of the people in the clan who look at him, he is even more uncomfortable, now that Yan Heng has sold the land to the Ouyang family, he will not be able to fulfill his promise to the people of the clan who support him, and will reduce his prestige because of this.

The Ouyang family doesn't need Yan Heng to say, Yan Zhishi also knows that he can't afford to provoke him, and he also knows that there is no way to recapture the more than 50 acres of good land sold by Yan Heng from the Ouyang family now, so he only hates Yan Heng now, and hates this Yan Heng who made him sweep away the majesty of the clan and let him draw water in a bamboo basket!

"What! Brother Heng, if you don't plant the land for us, why sell your ancestral property! How did the Yan family come up with an unscrupulous descendant like you! ”

The other clansmen of the Yan family also heard Yan Heng's words and hurriedly came over to teach Yan Heng a lesson.

"Brother Heng, I know that your family is difficult, but there is no need to sell the land, the people in the clan are just helping you with farming, and there is no other meaning, why did you sell it, now it's okay, if your father knows, he will definitely kill you!"

Yan Heng wanted to laugh when he looked at these clansmen who accused him of not selling his land and selling his land, one by one on the surface for the sake of himself and his family, but in fact he regretted not getting his own land.

"It's your!"

Yan Heng directly spit out these four words.

Yan Zhishi couldn't help but be even more angry when he heard this, and wanted to slap Yan Heng with a dance, but when he saw Yan Heng's vicious eyes, he had to take it back, and just shouted:

"Big guy, listen, he is not only not ashamed but proud of selling his ancestral property, how can our Yan family have such unscrupulous descendants, it is none of our business for you to sell your own land, and I don't dare to care about you, but your uncle can manage you, go, follow us, go to see your uncle, see if he will beat you!"

Yan Zhishi pushed Yan Heng a little carried away, and Yan Heng directly shouted angrily: "You push it again!" ”

Yan Zhishi was so frightened that he took a step back directly, and muttered: "You can do it, you cow, I'll see how your uncle cleans you up later!" ”

"That's it, it's really unreasonable to let Brother Yan take care of his eldest nephew, and he actually sold the family's land directly, with the consent of the clan!"
