What is the fight for water? It's a fight, whoever has a big fist, who can get more water, especially when the spring rain is not so oil-like, when spring ploughing, no water means no harvest.

It's complicated, the neighbors in the village, the seven mothers and eight aunts are estimated to have a lot of things.

Bai Minghe sat on the side of the kang and thought in the air, Sun Yuanjun was there to sort out Bai Minghe's luggage, of course, by the way, to clean up how much Bai Minghe's property was, rushing to take the exam is a matter of spending money, whether it is to eat or live in a hotel in the capital, it is much more expensive than ordinary places.

"How much money do I have?" Bai Minghe asked casually.

"Eleven taels of silver, eight hundred banknotes!" Sun Yuanjun's words made Bai Minghe's eyes light up, but the next sentence made Bai Minghe directly unresponsive, only to hear Sun Yuanjun say again: "I don't know, how long can this treasure money last." When I was ten years old, 100 yuan of treasure money could buy one stone of rice, and now 400 yuan of treasure money can buy one stone of rice, I am afraid that it will not be long, and the treasure money is only worth a penny. ”

The treasure banknote is the Daming banknote, which feels like a small South American country, buying a loaf of bread with hundreds of millions of yuan at every turn.

After sorting out Bai Minghe's luggage, and sorting out the gifts sent by the Lu family, seven feet of cloth, some threads, and something in a small wooden box Sun Yuanjun didn't know, and handed it to Bai Minghe to see, Bai Minghe sniffed it, this is only less than half a tael, it is very likely to be Xueha.

"This is a valuable item, and the Lu family doesn't know where it came from. It's called Xueha! ”

Mr. Sun Yuanjun's name is not called in vain, there is naturally an introduction to this thing in the book, and after thinking about it, he said: "I think it is a reward from the Lu family, and the year is not close, I am afraid that I am reluctant to use it, this will give you this old man as a gift." ”

After that, Sun Yuanjun took out a set of cheongsam from his luggage: "It's still early today, with your status as a person, even if you don't borrow official grain, you can borrow grain from rich households." But remember, you should not take the land of a rich man, and it is better not to borrow it than to borrow it! ”

After Sun Yuanjun explained, Bai Minghe understood, and he was exempt from taxes. Here, it is absolutely impossible to take the land of a rich family in the name of raising people, because this is not the hometown of the white crane, and the white crane cannot be here for a long time.

According to Sun Yuanjun's explanation, tax exemption is not unlimited. As a lifter, he can be exempted from tax for 12 hectares, that is, 1,200 acres of land, and the Bai clan in Guanzhong is not a small clan, so how can this tax exemption and the share of exemption from military service be used by the family, so this must not be used for trading.

This is also the reason why Uncle Sun did not send the land deed over.

After all, the Sun family here is not the Bai family.

Being able to help borrow some rice to survive this crisis is already the Sun family's greatest thirst.

Yesterday, a stone fell on the head of the white crane, the half-sized tiger baby, pulled over a donkey, led, he is not only a guide, but also temporarily made a small follower of the white crane, this is the meaning of Uncle Sun, is to atone for his sins.

Thirty miles from Fang Yuan, there are four really rich families.

The richest is the Fanyang Lu family, but it is said to be a real millennium family, after Lu Zhi, it was called the House of Eight Phases in the Tang Dynasty, that is, there were eight prime ministers in the family. After so many years, it is in the Ming Dynasty, among the descendants of the Lu family, Xiucai runs all over the ground, lifts people to sit in the house, and there are more than a dozen Jinshi.

Such a big family is also a little empty, and a person in front of such a family is estimated to send a bowl of leftovers.

The Hu family, a small local landlord, has two talents in one county. Hearing that there were people who went to the capital to participate in the examination, the head of the house personally came to the door to welcome in, and it is not a bad thing to make friends with a lifter.

"Hu Lao is well, I am a white crane in Guanzhong, and I will try to pass by here when I enter Beijing. It just so happens that my mother's family is here......" Bai Minghe explained the reason for his coming unhurriedly, and Hu Weishan, the head of the Hu family, listened quietly. When Bai Minghe finished speaking, Hu Weishan got up and hugged his fists.

First half saluted, and then spoke: "Bai Juren speaks straightforwardly." I will also be blunt, if you want to borrow money, thirty taels of silver will be given immediately. Even if it's just passing by, it's a temporary emergency, just don't pay it back. But borrow for Xiaquan Village, not borrow! ”

"Why?" The white crane didn't understand anymore.

Hu Weishan didn't explain, but he just didn't borrow. There was only one sentence, thirty taels were placed on the table, and Bai Minghe wanted to take it himself. As a person named by Bai Minghe, Hu Weishan still didn't believe that Bai Minghe would come to cheat him out of thirty taels. And I don't believe it, so I borrowed it in my own name and gave it to Xiaquan Village.

Because of the old man, he can't afford to lose this face, and his reputation is more important than his life.

The face still has to be taken care of, Bai Minghe said some words of thanks, saying that he would come to visit another day, Hu Weishan also said that he hoped that the two unsuccessful children and nephews in his family could listen to Bai Minghe's lectures.

Out of the door, the cool breeze blew the white crane and smiled bitterly.

But there is a joy and a worry in my heart.

The good thing is that this statement of lifting people is true, and lifting people's faces is really valuable. What worries is whether Xiaquan Village has offended this Hu Laocai, looking at Hu Laocai's feeling of wanting to speak and stopping, I am afraid that there are many people offended in Xiaquan Village.

Well, another one.

Twenty miles away, this is the Yan family. It is also a family with a big surname, and the family road is in the middle of the family road compared to before, but it is also a rich family here. Bai Minghe was still invited into the house by courtesy, and Sun Hu was arranged to go to the firewood room and prepare a hot meal, which can be regarded as courtesy.

This Yan family has ten times more influence in the local area than the Hu family, and there are two prefects and a county commander alive in the family now. Among the young people, there is also one person who is ready to take the test today, but he has already gone to the capital one step in advance, and there are still three Xiucai, which will still be studying hard.

invited Bai Minghe into the middle hall and prepared two dishes, a small pot of wine to go cold, and a bowl of pasta.

Bai Minghe ran for most of the day, and he was really hungry, so after thanking him, he tried to solve the food as much as possible. Then the host of the Yan family put the tea, and then the guests and hosts sat down.

Bai Minghe politely said a few words, still telling the truth. Xiaquan Village wants to borrow grain, not by itself.

"The old man has three strategies, I don't know if Bai Juren is interested in listening?" The old man of the Yan family looked at the white crane with a smile.

Being looked at by Old Man Yan like this, Bai Minghe's heart felt a chill. It's not that Old Man Yan is obscene, but an amiable old man, judging from the clothes on his body, even Bai Minghe, who doesn't know much about history, thinks that Bacheng is also a person, but Bai Minghe has more and more uneasy feelings.

Old Man Yan still kept smiling, waiting for Bai Minghe's reaction.

I'm here to borrow food, so I have to listen to it anyway, even if I refuse.

Bai Minghe got up and hugged his fists and saluted: "I am willing to listen to the words of the elders, and Bai Minghe listens!" ”

"Okay, Bai Juren, please sit down, and listen to the old man's three strategies!" Old man Yan also got up to return the salute.

Old man Yan looked at Bai Minghe and spoke.

"The next step is that the old man took out two or three stones of rice and sent them to Bai Juren, just to send the matter away. The face is passable, which not only saves the face of Bai Juren, but also breaks off the matter of borrowing grain from Xiaquan Village. ”

After listening to Old Man Yan, Bai Minghe began to curse in his heart, what is the difference between this and asking for food.

scolded in his heart, but his face was still impassive: "Please Yan Lao continue!" ”

"Good!" Bai Minghe reacted quietly, Old Man Yan didn't seem surprised, and continued with a smile: "In exchange for the books in your wife's house, your deceased grandfather-in-law can be regarded as a hermit, and his collection of books and his manuscripts are enough to top five hundred stone of grain. ”

Is this a robbery while the fire is burning? Bai Minghe's face finally turned a little angry.

But he still endured: "Please Yan Lao continue!" ”

Yan Lao still maintained a smile on his face, Bai Minghe did not jump up and scold, he had already cultivated his qi very well.

"The best policy is that there are many twenty-eight women in my clan, choose one for you to be a concubine!"

"You, you, you ......." Bai Minghe said three words in a row, he was really angry, Yan Lao was no longer taking advantage of the fire to rob, he definitely said that he was going to blackmail himself, and taking a concubine sounded like a gift to himself, but in fact, half of his identity was tied to the Yan family.

"Is the old man embarrassing you?" Yan Lao still asked quietly.

Bai Minghe was angry and yelled loudly: "This is not an embarrassment, what is this?" ”

"Didn't you come to borrow food to embarrass the old man?" Yan Lao's voice also raised a little, and with this rhetorical question, Bai Minghe instantly felt a chill rise in his heart, and his first reaction was what happened in Xiaquan Village.

At that moment, Bai Minghe asked in a whisper in an almost trembling tone: "Dare to ask, have you done anything angry in Xiaquan Village?" ”

"Bai Juren, please!" Old man Yan actually put on a posture of sending off guests.

Bai Minghe sat down: "I won't leave, even if you don't lend me food." Also give me a reason, I wonder why? When I heard that Xiaquan Village had such a reaction, I always wanted to know the reason. If they are wrong, don't they have a chance to correct themselves? ”

"There's nothing wrong with anyone, it's all about living. The old man will tell you again, the clan warehouse in Changmu Village was actually set on fire and maliciously burned down. The person who set the fire had his own government to deal with it, but this disaster still started from Xiaquan Village. The old man will lend you food, yes. It is not possible to lend grain to Xiaquan Village, if you borrow it, the old man will not be allowed to go to this seventy-mile and twenty-eight villages. ”

Seven miles and twenty-eight villages.

This statement really scared the white crane, the seven miles mentioned here are not distances, according to the calculation method of the Ming Dynasty, one hundred and ten households are one mile, two villages with more people are one mile, and three or four villages with fewer people are one mile. On the other side of Xiaquan Village, there are four villages and one mile, and the number of people is larger, up and down 130 households.

In these seven miles, there are 800 households, which is the scale of four or five thousand people.

What did Xiaquan Village do to offend so many people, and there were also people who risked the felony of being exiled for 3,000 miles to set fire to the granary.

The white crane was scared, and there was really a feeling of fear.

"Please!" Old man Yan sent off the guests again.
