Chapter 98 Stabilization
"If the lady is short of money, it is better to die, die for three hundred taels, and live for only one hundred taels, and there is no place in the world that can afford a high price than my pawnshop."
The shopkeeper looked high, as if he was giving alms to Li Qing.
Seeing the shopkeeper's attitude, Li Qing immediately decided to change the next one. She quickly pulled out the box from the shopkeeper's hand, wrapped it in a cloth and held it in her arms, and without leaving a word, she turned around and left.
"Eh, eh...... Oh! "The shopkeeper is stomping his feet angrily, what kind of woman is this! Completely out of the ordinary.
Li Qingcai didn't care what happened to the previous shopkeeper, she has now found another pawnshop. The pawnshop looked shivering, and there was a man working as a garment before her.
"To tell you the truth, your clothes are only worth ten copper coins, and they can't be more." The shopkeeper picked out the man's clothes, as if to see the integrity of the clothes.
"Shopkeeper, give more, give more, my lady needs money, the doctor has already given a deadline, please, shopkeeper." The man prayed.
The shopkeeper frowned, thought for a while and said, "Okay, okay, five more pieces." ”
"Thank you to the shopkeeper, good people have good rewards, and the shopkeeper will definitely be rich and safe for a lifetime."
The man took the money, made a gesture for the shopkeeper, and hurried out of the store.
The shopkeeper turned around and saw Li Qing.
……
"This is the true work of the master of the piano." The shopkeeper looked at Li Qing and felt that she didn't look like a person who was short of money, how could she even take such a treasure?
The shopkeeper sighed and asked, "Does the lady choose to live or die?" ”
Li Qingdao said: "Live, he will come to redeem it one day, and please keep it carefully." ”
"Master Qin Jue is a master of making jewelry, once a court craftsman, and then he was banished with bad eyes, but the jewelry he made is still coveted, and if this piece of the lady is known by those who like to collect, it will definitely sell for a better price."
"I don't plan to sell it, if it weren't for the chaos at home, I wouldn't be it, the shopkeeper will make a price." Li Ching Road.
"If the lady dies, I can give a thousand taels of silver, but if I choose to live, I have to break it in half."
The shopkeeper seemed to be a sincere person, Li Qing said: "If you live, I will redeem it." ”
"If you choose that, sign this deed." The shopkeeper pushed out a piece of paper.
Li Qing looked at the contents of it, and finally she picked up the pen, wrote down the pawn redemption date of one year, signed her name, and then pressed the handprint.
A year later, Li Qing would bring a thousand taels of silver to redeem the jewelry.
How could there be a good person in the pawnshop, Fang Cai Li Qing thought too much, behind the shopkeeper's seemingly pure kindness, it was the businessman's unprofitable. From this, Li Qing concluded that the value of this set of jewelry was much higher than that of a thousand taels of silver. The difference is that the shopkeeper has an appreciative attitude towards the treasure.
The shopkeeper put the jewelry into the box, took out five hundred taels of silver tickets and handed them to Li Qing.
"This is a Tianqi universal silver ticket, with which you can withdraw money from any bank."
Li Qing took it and said, "Thank you, I will redeem my things in a year." The shopkeeper nodded. Li Qing walked around the capital city.
The exuberance here is unimaginable, with tall houses, street vendors, houses and boats. Burden-bearers, cart-bearers, basket-bearers...... The list goes on.
Here let Li Qing see a kind of active atmosphere of people that Lexu County has never had, as well as culture and ancient charm.
Li Qing didn't buy anything, she walked for a long time before leaving the city, there were too many people in the city, she couldn't find a chance to teleport.
After returning to Shilitang, Li Qing went to the county government and bought dozens of acres of land, spending almost half of the silver.
The imperial court suppressed land annexation, and Li Qing was almost defined as a land annexer, and if she paid taxes like she did last time she bought a house, she would have to vomit blood.
"Here are two hundred taels, I bought a part of the wasteland in the west of the city, and took your people to build a house there to live in, and plant a season of grain first." Li Qing said to Liang Shanxian.
Most of these people are tenant farmers, whose homes have been destroyed by natural disasters, and they are unable to deliver the profits to the landlords and go bankrupt, and now they have land for them to plant, and it is too late for them to be grateful!
Liang Shanxian was shocked, he couldn't come up with the money a few days ago, and he could take out a few hundred taels in a few days, this money wouldn't be robbed, right? This woman's qualifications as a bandit are quite high.
In the end, the land was measured and the housing construction base was planned. These people are Li Qing's labor force in the future, and Li Qing's wishful thinking is ringing.
I have to find a way to buy this wasteland, many people have died in this land due to natural disasters before, so no rich person has dared to touch it for several years, which is cheap Li Qing.
When it came to the wasteland, the number really saw what their benefactor looked like.
There are really people in this world who are willing to give them land to plant, but there are still doubts, for fear that Li Qing will turn them into slaves.
But after all, there is a price to be paid for the land, and the contract must be signed, but I don't know which one it will be signed.
"This land is not far from the river, it should not be difficult to irrigate, and cotton planting will start next year, and it will be too late this year." Li Qing stood on the big rock, looking at the large area of land, which was all hers.
We are now also landowners, worthy of the name.
Flattered.
After Li Qing returned, he put the plan into writing and handed it to Liang Shanxian. There is a Wen Qin by his side, if Liang Shanxian is compared to a general charging into battle, then Wen Qin is definitely a qualified military advisor.
With these two people, Li Qing can save a lot of things.
The January deadline is approaching, and Su Xuning has already received the petition half a month ago.
In order to complete the agreement with Li Qing, he has been pressing this matter, and he will wait for the end of the month to meet with Li Qing to completely solve the people's grievances.
Liang Shanxian was taken to the county government alone, and Su Xuning pretended to be interrogated, so that the public could see that Liang Shanxian was put in prison.
In fact, Li Qing has given him a makeover.
The name of the three prodigal sons completely disappeared from this world, leaving only the name of Liang Shanxian.
There are many people with the same name and surname in the world, and they don't care what the people can associate with. Li Qing asked Liang Shanxian and Wen Qin to bring people they trusted, form a caravan, and use the money Li Qing earned from selling the script and the shop to conduct inspections in various places, and wait for the cotton harvest to come back a year later.
The previous blackhead mole had been expelled by Liang Shanxian and handed over to his cousin's care. It's just a flute head, insignificant.
After Li Qing's shop and fields were on the right track, she was idle.
Most of the time I spent with my children in Shilitang, and by the way, I studied spinning machines and looms with Liu Erye.
Li Qing was bound to make them suitable for the weaving of cotton.
