As soon as Huang Kaichou left, the crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Zheng sat on the chair and saw her husband's tablet, and couldn't figure it out for a while, so she cried again. Li Tu couldn't think of a way to raise money for a while, and sat on the threshold and hammered the door frame again and again.

Before the crossing, Li Tu also liked to read time-traveling novels. The protagonists of those novels are all overflowing with the spirit of a king, either crossing into the royal family or a rich family, and they turn out the skills of later generations to transform the era at every turn.

How can it be his turn to cross, to cross over to such a humble little person, not only can he not make a big difference, but he will also face the crisis of family bankruptcy as soon as he crosses.

Is this a joke God has played on himself?

This joke is a little too bitter.

Li Tu was thinking about it, but saw several teenagers suddenly walk into the courtyard and call out to Li Tu's younger brother Li Tong.

Although this Li Tong is only fifteen years old and has an average family background, he is a character who can play and make trouble. On weekdays, I call friends in the town, and I have the most friends. But when there's something interesting and new, he's always the first to get the news.

Hearing the call of his partner, Li Tong walked over and said something to them. But this time, he shook his head, walked back again, and sat down on the front steps of the house.

Obviously, Li Tong at this time is not in the mood to play.

Li Tu, who was sitting on the threshold, saw this scene and asked curiously, "What are they calling you for?" Why don't you go? ”

It seemed that he was in a bad mood and was too lazy to deal with it, Li Tong turned his back to Li Tu and did not speak.

Li Tu didn't let go of his younger brother, and asked again,

"Li Tong, what are they calling you for?"

Seeing his brother asking, Li Tong replied weakly,

"They told me to see the boat."

"Tongfan ship? What is the ship? ”

The speaker has no intention, the listener has a heart, Li Tu has a stirring in his heart, and he can't help but ask.

Li Tu has a reputation for being stupid and despised by others. A few days ago, Li Tu suddenly got clever and went to borrow money everywhere, although he didn't succeed, but the act of asking for help everywhere also made his younger brother Li Tong feel different from the past and was impressed. But today, at a critical juncture, when Huang Kaichou came to collect debts, Li Tu looked stupid again, which made his younger brother look down on him.

This brother has brute strength, but his brain is really not good.

It seemed that he couldn't stand his brother's stupidity, Li Tong said loudly,

"You don't understand the boat? It's a galleon that sells goods across the ocean! ”

Hearing Li Tong's words, Li Tu's eyes lit up and he remembered a lot of things.

As a traverser, Li Tu knows that this era is the era of great navigation.

Not to mention how the Western colonists sailed to the sea to rob smugglers and open up trading post colonies, even in the Ming Dynasty, there were also big pirates like Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Chenggong, who fought hard in the ocean, communicated things and broke into the family business of the rich and rival country.

It turned out that these pirates, or maritime merchants' ships, were called Tongban ships in this era.

Li Tu suddenly stood up and picked up his dejected younger brother.

"Go, why not? You go with them to see the boat! ”

Li Tong was suddenly grabbed by his brother from the back collar, and he was angry in his heart, and said loudly,

"To what? I'm not going! The field is going to be gone, and what kind of ship is there! ”

Li Tu was stunned, and Zhengse said,

"You're disobedient?"

was finally put down by Li Tu, Li Tong twisted his head and glared at his brother, his face was blood-red with anger.

Li Tu smiled and said:

"The father is not here, the brother is the father! Did You Know? ”

"For my brother to let you go to see the boat, naturally there is a reason for being a brother! You don't need to worry about the silver, my brother will naturally find a way to raise it! ”

Hearing his brother, who had always been stupid and stupid, say such serious words, Li Tong was stunned for a moment, and it took him a long time to come to his senses. I remembered that my brother borrowed money everywhere a few days ago. For a while, I really had some confidence in this eloquent brother.

Patting the dust on his buttocks, Li Tong muttered, "Go and go!" ”

Li Tu laughed and touched his brother's head.

"But you have to see the size of the ship, its appearance, and the number of people on board, and come back and tell me in detail!"

"That's a big deal!"

"Got it!"

Suspicious, Li Tong shouted and ran out of the yard.

Sending his younger brother away, Li Tu turned into the house and said to his mother, who was crying without tears,

"Mother, the crying sacrifice has passed, and I can't support my body just by eating rice. There was only rice at home, no vegetables, so I went to buy some sauerkraut to eat. ”

Hearing this, Zheng was stunned.

You must know that in the past, although the Li family was not wealthy, there was still coarse tea and light rice. Although meat is eaten less, vegetables are still affordable. However, after Li Tu's father died, the family only ate white rice: first, the etiquette of filial piety, and second, the family in debt was under great mental pressure and was reluctant to spend money.

Although the sacrifice has now passed, and you can eat some wine and food according to the etiquette system, the debt of forty taels of silver is still there. Even if you buy the cheapest sauerkraut, you can't bear it.

Looking at Li Tu, Zheng said slowly for a long time,

"Tu'er..."

But before she could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by Li Tu.

"Mother, don't worry, there are still three days to go, the mountains don't turn around, there is always a way."

"Isn't it forty taels of silver, I promise to get it for you."

Listening to Li Tu's words, Zheng's face showed a look of relief.

First of all, Zheng was glad that Li Tu could speak. Although it is the simplest comforting words, a normal person should be able to say them. But if it was the stupid Li Tu before, he would never be able to say it. In the past, even if you hammered him with a stick, he couldn't say a decent word.

Secondly, this Li Tu, which is different from before, really makes Zheng feel some hope. Maybe he really managed to raise money.

It is indeed not a way to save the money of sauerkraut for dozens of dollars.

"Tu'er, what can you do? You can't steal it! ”

Hearing Li Tu's assurance, the mother was worried that the child would take risks.

"I naturally have a good way, where can I use the law of the king, mother, you don't care."

According to local customs, the family is headed by men. After his father's death, all the valuables of the family, the silver and the title deeds, were kept by Li Tu. Although Li Tu only has as many copper coins as usual, he can still afford to buy some sauerkraut.

With a wave of his hand, Li Tu walked out of the courtyard.
