At night, Jiang Yue'er counted the grain, counted the copper coins, and finally said: "I calculated, there are still three buckets of rice in the rice tank, and it is five hundred yuan, and I can buy a little six buckets of rice, at least it can support until spring!" ”
Jiang Yue'er's calculations can last for at least five months.
Wang Bin was speechless, and sure enough, their respective algorithms were different.
It's still a woman, she has endurance, she will live!
"I'll go find Uncle Sixth and ask for some money!" Wang Bin said a word, that is, he turned around and left.
The sixth uncle, named Zhou Facai, refers to the landlord in the village, who has a hundred acres of land at home, which is considered to be rich, and now he can only rely on this person to help!
Wang Bin recalled, familiar with the imprint of this era, and walked forward.
In the previous life on the earth, in Wang Bin's era, individualism was prevalent, and the so-called family had collapsed, just as the so-called each took care of its own, except for a few close relatives, there was no one else; However, in the Great Zhou Dynasty, the concept of family was deeply rooted and connected to each other as a whole.
There is an ancestral hall in the village, which worships the ancestors of the Zhou family, compiles a family tree, and establishes a close relationship!
And the relationship between each family is close to each other, and there may be some dirty occasion, but in general, they maintain unity and care for each other.
With the surname as the bond and the ancestral hall as the authority, the villagers are united with each other.
Because it has to be like this, if you are not united, how to fight with other villages, grab water and water to water the fields; If there is no unity and there is an invasion of thieves, how to defend against foreign enemies; If there is no unity, how can we resist the oppression of foreign officials. In the village, there is a lot of unity between the families, and there is rarely a phenomenon of pit their own people - if you want to pit outsiders, the key is also to harm outsiders!
When someone wants to harm his own people, the patriarch will use the clan law to severely punish him.
In this era, the imperial power did not go to the countryside, and many county officials did not care about the affairs of the countryside. The patriarch has a lot of power and controls part of the judicial power, the right to judge.
Jiang Yue'er is just a little girl, and she is a little confused; And the predecessor was just a nerd and a child. The two children don't understand a lot of things, most of them are villagers, helping each other and supporting each other, so they have survived until now!
"Is Uncle Sixth at home?"
Wang Bin stepped forward and shouted. At this time, a stout man pushed open the door and said, "It turned out to be Xiao Ming, come in and sit!" ”
The stout man is none other than the sixth uncle Zhou Facai.
Zhou Facai's family has more than 100 acres of land, which can be regarded as a small landlord, but it is very duty-bound, and the furnishings in the room are very simple, without luxurious furnishings. To be precise, the landlord in these years was also not doing well, and the landlord's family had no surplus grain.
In the literary works of later generations, all the landlords were insatiable, they were all extremely exploitative, they were all peeled around, and they were all smoking, in fact, for the needs of propaganda.
The sixth uncle Zhou Facai was not full of oil, and often went to the fields to plow, getting up early and greedy for darkness, and working very hard all year round. He personally cultivated 40 acres of land, and the remaining 60 acres of land were rented to the villagers, and the rent was also very low, and if there was a famine, the rent would be reduced.
After all, the villagers are embarrassed to ask for it.
The sixth uncle Zhou made a fortune, and often helped the poor in the village, including Zhou Ming's family.
Zhou Ming's father back then was able to pass the exam, thanks to the sixth uncle Zhou Facai!
Of course, if you think that Sixth Uncle Zhou Facai is the Holy Mother, it is a big mistake! The so-called charity and kindness are only to the people of the same race and the same village; As for people from other villages, people of foreign sex can be described as ruthless. Relying on shady means, he became the biggest landlord in the village, the patriarch of the Zhou family!
The landlords of this era are all showing dualistic attributes, being good to their own people and bad to outsiders.
Most of their own people are people of the same race and the same village; Outsiders, most of them are from other villages, foreigners!
In this era, landlords may be very greedy, that is to outsiders; It may be exploitative, but that is to outsiders; It can be oppressive, that's to outsiders. And for his own people, it has always been very good. As for that kind of film and television works, greed is excessive, whether it is for outsiders or for one's own people, they are very exploitative, and they regard money as their life, and they do not exist at all; In other words, even if it exists, it will soon die out.
Zhou Facai said: "Xiao Ming, do you have something to do with me?" ”
Wang Bin's face was a little feverish, this was not the first time he had asked for help, and he was a little embarrassed: "Sixth uncle......
"Next year, you're going to take a scientific exam, isn't there a shortage of money...... That's ten pieces of money! Zhou Facai opened his mouth and said, entered the back room, took out a large string of money, and handed it to Wang Bin.
At this time, Zhou Facai's mother-in-law said: "Xiao Ming, the landlord's family has no surplus grain, and your uncle doesn't have much money, so you have to save money!" Last year there was a flood, the harvest was halved, and your uncle's life was not easy......"
As she spoke, the mother-in-law began to cry, crying, and said, "You have to remember to pay back!" ”
"A woman's family is long hair and short knowledge!" Zhou Facai said: "Xiao Ming is going to take the exam, how can he delay his studies......"
"His family doesn't have ten acres of land, just mortgaged!" At this time, the mother-in-law said.
"Aunt Sixth is also right, it's better to mortgage ......," Wang Bin said, only halfway through his words, he was interrupted by Zhou Facai.
"You mother-in-law, do you want others to poke me in the back...... Xiao Ming has lost his parents since he was a child, and he is embarrassed to speak! Zhou Facai flatly refused, "Isn't it just a few dollars?" I can still support your sixth uncle! ”
After another moment of small talk, Wang Bin turned around and left.
This time the borrowing money was extraordinarily smooth, and Wang Bin, who was smooth, was hard to believe.
Originally, Wang Bin planned to borrow money but failed.
After all, borrowing money is the hardest!
In his previous life, my father was planning to buy a house, but at that time it was a difficult time, borrowing money from relatives, only to say that they had no money - not a question of how much money he planned to borrow, but not at all. And when these aunts encountered difficulties, their father was generous; And now my father is in trouble, but there is no one to help.
Afterwards, my father was very disappointed and cut off contact with the aunts.
And this time, Wang Bin came to borrow money from the sixth uncle Zhou Facai, and he had prepared for the worst - for example, not to borrow money.
Even if you borrow money, it is a harsh condition, such as usury, with high interest;
In other words, directly take the ten acres of land at home as a mortgage!
After all, although he is verbally the sixth uncle, the blood relationship is very weak, and he has been out for three generations.
But in fact, the sixth uncle Zhou made a fortune, and his generosity was a little excessive, and he quickly borrowed money ten times, without proposing to mortgage the land, nor to mention the interest, nor to say when he would repay the money.
Back at home, Wang Bin was still a little incredulous!
…………
"That's ten dollars!" The mother-in-law was still distressed, "He borrowed it, I don't know when I will be able to pay it back!" ”
"I lent it out, and I had no intention of coming it back!"
Zhou Facai said.
"But that's ten dollars!" The mother-in-law was still distressed.
"Haha, these days, if you have the money, go to school!" Zhou Facai said: "Only by studying can there be a future, if Zhou Ming is a talent, then we will have to rely on it!" The officials didn't dare to be overly exploited, and they didn't have to kneel when they met the big man! ”
"If you really get into trouble, you can rely on him to hand over the situation and stand out for us...... Otherwise, a single official can ruin our family! ”
