"Thank you, Brother Qian." Aunt Thirteen is in Weijiawan, and she has plucked eiderdown with Wen Jin, and she is a cool and capable woman. After she arrived, Wen Jin's breeding ground was immediately much cleaner and tidy. Wei Xiaoyan sits at home every day to make female red, most of them are embroidery, pillowcases, handkerchiefs, children's uppers, etc.

Local children, both men and women, wear embroidered shoes, boys are tiger shoes, pig's head shoes, girls are embroidered pomegranate flowers, dried plums, etc., this is the best market, Wen Jin went there several times, and met Xiaoyan with this in his hand, all of which are this. Xiaoyan makes the best tiger shoes, the tiger stares at the round eyes, the beard is stunned, very majestic, she said, every time in the market, it can be sold quickly.

Zhao Li and Huang Xiangguan didn't come to Wen Jin, these two guys who couldn't afford to be early in the morning, thought about it, and felt that it was not cost-effective to give Wen Jin three reds, so they simply got a housekeeper Zhao Qi to come over, planning to follow the example, and also dig a pond in the ground to breed.

The people of Dongshe are now afraid to steal, and there is not much harvest in the field, and seeing that the income of the grain will not survive the Spring Festival, they are all anxious.

Zhao Qi took the opportunity to lower the price, promised to only take care of the food, not give money, and also had to pick a person with a big waist and a round waist, and finally saw that the people in Dongshe Village were angry and refused to lend him a house, so he had to let out the words, the men of Dongshe Village, hire one by one, and the other people in the village must be strong.

There is money to open the road, Zhao Li's pond is dug very quickly, the stone beam on their side has been hidden below the ground, dug more than two feet deep before it is exposed, much easier than Shiwei Village, seeing that it is going well, Zhao Li and Huang Township officials let people coerce and lure in the village, and they actually bought thousands of acres of land. The people of Shiwei Village no longer have the confidence to defend it, and many people find a way to join relatives and friends and move away.

Zhao Qi took the opportunity to buy two adjacent courtyards, opened them up, and took over the family. Just moved in, lacking this little that, the Zhao family borrowed things from neighbors all day long, and even took vegetable bowls, and asked people to add vinegar and salt to them, which was obviously a posture of taking advantage of a small advantage and not returning it, and the people in Dongshe Village avoided it, Zhao Sun's family had to ignore the distance, and walked two miles to Wen Jin to borrow it.

Zhao Qi also has a daughter, Zhao Junlian, who is as old as Xiaoyan, but her behavior is completely different, and within a few days of coming, she ran to the door of Wen Jin's house: "Brother Qian, you are going home." ”

"Hmm." Wen Jin entered the door and was about to close it when he returned his hand, but Zhao Junlian quickly stretched out his hand to support it: "Isn't Brother Qian going to let people in and sit?" ”

"I'm tired and want to go home and take a shower and get some sleep."

Zhao Junlian withdrew her hand in a daze, Wen Jin closed the door, and that afternoon, she packed up her things and asked Wei Shisan and his wife to help take care of the yard, and she went back to Shanwo Village. In the autumn, there were more people picking herbs, and it was also the peak period of the last few days to cut the lacquer, and the acquisition over there was busy, and she also took the opportunity to get rid of Zhao Qi's family.

This year, there are more people who go to the mountain to collect medicine, and Wang Shanren's side of the mountain goods are affected, there is no bustling scene in previous years, the number of people who continue to pick is reduced, and people's yields have increased.

Mingshan handed over the account books to Wen Jin every month, and he became more and more handy, and when he was free, he also helped Qian Xiancheng collect medicinal materials and took the opportunity to learn from him.

Qian Xiancheng likes to buy books, that time he sent Wen Han, bought an old medical book in the bookstore, he pondered all day long, and even recognized several medicinal materials, he drew a pattern, and also took samples, and hung them on the wall of the pharmacy together.

Wen Jin was not at ease, and also found medicinal materials from the mountains, went to Fucheng to let people identify, and made sure that the second uncle was right, she came back and praised the second uncle in front of Wei's, Qian Xiancheng was greatly encouraged, and he studied diligently every day with medical books, and dared to give some advice to people with headaches and brain fever.

"Second uncle, medicine is about human life, your level is not enough, it's not good to be so casual, isn't my uncle someone who knows the pharmacy? Let's see if I can let you study for a while, I know that you help people see a doctor, not trying to make money, but you also want to help people to the end, and send Buddha to the West, right? ”

Qian Xiancheng felt that what Wen Jin said was very right, and nodded again and again: "You are right, if someone teaches, I will study hard." ”

Studying medicine starts with identifying medicinal materials, and Qian Xiancheng works harder and harder, and more and more varieties of medicinal materials are acquired.

Qian Xiangui originally expected that if Wen Jin helped Zhao Li and Huang Xiangguan take care of the fields, he would also be able to follow the car, who wanted to be put aside now, no one took care of it, only more than 100 acres, hired people couldn't row, and he didn't have time, so he had to let go and prepare to sell. He received sixty taels of silver, and wanted to sell seventy taels to make a small profit, but no one cared.

Adjacent to that piece of land are Wen Jin and Huang Xiangyi, both of whom know the reserve price, who wants to spend that unjust money?

Qian Xiangui asked Jiao's to come to Qian Xiancheng and forced him to sell it.

"Sister-in-law, I bought a hundred and ten acres of land twenty or thirty miles away? How to take care of this? ”

"Why don't you just let Wen Jin help?"

"No, I originally harmed Wen Jin in that piece of land, and now I can't increase her burden no matter what, Wen Jin has been busy for a year, I haven't taken a penny, and I have posted a lot, as soon as I think of this, I feel that I have no face to see people, so my sister-in-law won't say this anymore."

"Second brother, you are looking at your eldest brother in difficulty, and you refuse to lend a hand, right?"

"What's so difficult about my brother? Is it difficult for him to buy land? Besides, before buying the land, didn't he think about how to plant it? The land along the river, I don't know if I can recover the seeds, who doesn't know this, my brother is so shrewd, can't he think of it? ”

Jiao Shixin said that he didn't see through Qian Wenjin, it was so difficult to handle, he refused to do the business of losing money, and he didn't even want to make a small profit, and the little rabbit cub was black-hearted.

"Second brother, you remember what you said today, and you actually orchestrated your brother behind your back."

Wei Shi is here, she can be better than Qian Xiancheng, although she can't catch Jiao's words, but she can divert the topic: "Dad, do you think this is Chai Hu?" ”

Qian Xiancheng's attention immediately shifted, and he carefully looked at the half-dried blades of grass in his wife's hand, and left Jiao to dry.

Jiao was angry and turned around and left.

Qian Xiangui was helpless, lowered the land money by five taels of silver, and asked Zhao Qi to buy: "You just stay there anyway, and it is the most cost-effective to grow your own." ”

"But Brother Qian, the land price in Dongshe Village has dropped, and only 44 taels of silver can be sold for 100 mu, and only 44 taels of silver will cost you 110 mu.

"How is that possible? I was one hundred and twenty acres. "Qian Xiangui is cheating, that land has one hundred and fifteen acres

"That's only forty-eight taels of silver."

The two of you come and go, Zhao Qi bid to fifty taels, and refused to add more, Qian Xiangui saw that he had to accompany ten taels of silver, and he was even more angry. At this moment, he got Gao Leizi's information and came to the door to force the ground back.

Gao Leizi At this time, he was not a thief who used to be petty thieves and pull out a few bean seedlings, he was in prison for two months, and he actually made a friend, an old thief, the thief just reached the age limit, and he came out one after the other, and now the two are in cahoots and steal even more fiercely.

Gao Leizi pretended to agree to Qian Xiangui's request, scraped together sixty taels of silver, got back the title deed, and the two passed the household, Qian Xiangui was relieved, but after tossing and returning to the same place, Qian Xiangui was still very angry.

was angry with Wen Jin, hating Wen Jin for refusing to help him take care of it.

Qian Xiangui is in the county seat, there is only a small room to live in, so much silver, naturally he has to be sent home, while Mu Xiu, he took Song Laosi's donkey cart home.

Song Laosi happened to go to the city to give it away, this kind of long-distance business, but also a few times a year, Qian Xiangui wanted to sit in vain at first, Song Laosi was unprofitable and couldn't afford to be early, the two didn't talk about it, Qian Xiangui was helpless in the end, so he had to agree to ten sons.

Song Laosi saw that it was not early, so he hurried on the road, and as a result, the donkey was beaten to a temper.

To describe a person, the common word is "strong like a donkey", this sentence is not groundless, the donkey can't go no matter how he beats, and the two of them are sweating urgently.

At this time, an old farmer came over, smiled, and whipped a whip on the donkey's buttocks.

Song Laosi's own donkey, reluctant to be ruthless, this time the donkey's buttocks were broken, the donkey suddenly began to run violently, Song Laosi couldn't pull the car, and went out five or six miles, the donkey was tired, and then slowed down.

Qian Xiangui suddenly found that the blue cloth burden in his arms was gone: "Stop, stop, my burden!" ”

The two went back to look for it, but where was the shadow?

Qian Xiangui took it for more than a year, I don't know how many people hacked, and the silver that was stripped away, just disappeared without a trace, he couldn't be angry, and the next day he told Song Laosi that he would not catch the car, causing him to lose the silver, although Song Laosi was stingy, but when he saw the official coming to the door, his legs were weak, and finally he begged someone to say that he paid ten taels.

Qian Xiangui was distressed to death, but he never thought that the old farmer had a problem.

It was Gao Leizi's master Zhang Damao, just when the donkey cart suddenly jumped out, Qian Xiangui leaned back and almost fell, he hurriedly went to grab both sides of the carriage, Zhang Damao took the sheep and stole the silver.

The number of thieves who don't commit crimes is small, and a year later, Gao Leizi entered the palace and recruited this plot, but unfortunately the silver had already let Zhang Damao take it away.

These two thieves made Qian Xiancheng suffer a lot, Qian Xiangui lost his silver, so he was naturally anxious to return to his original capital, and searched everywhere, Wen Jin was not at home, he didn't let Jiao's come over, and he was fishing for fish, catching ducks, and duck eggs, and even lotus seeds.

These are all in Wen Jin's name, every time Qian Xiancheng sends them out, he estimates the price when he goes home, sticks them to Wen Jin, and coaxes Wen Jin to say that he sold them.

Mingshan couldn't look past it, and told Wen Jin that Wen Jin hated the second uncle of Baozi and lamented his misfortune, and she could only wait for the opportunity to take revenge.

However, Qian Xiangui is a person who doesn't love money, he is not in pain, he even watches the pharmacy to make money, and does not say that he shares profits with Wen Jin, and he doesn't even want Wen Jin to give him monthly money, he has to say that he is helping, such a person, Qian Xiangui's evil deeds, but it did not bring him the slightest pain, which can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune.

Wen Jin still owes Shiwei Village nearly five hundred taels of silver, fortunately, her income has arrived one by one, duck eggs are rich every month, lotus seeds have been sold several times, and the paint income has gradually increased, from more than two taels of silver a month, to now eight taels of silver, more than three times, although the number is not large, but it adds up to a lot, and there are more than ten taels of income.

The largest income is this purchase of medicinal herbs. With Mingshan's help, she and the second uncle went to Fucheng every three or five days, and every time the ox cart was full, each time there was a profit of twenty or thirty taels.

In Wen Jin's room, in the dark box under the fire kang, the silver ingots were full again, and her heart was calm, and she didn't have to worry about not being able to pay the bill on time.

The weather was getting colder, Wei Chenglan's work on the side of Fucheng stopped, he returned with the people in the village, and hurried up the mountain to collect medicinal herbs while there was still time.

Along the Jiujin River, many people in the village can't live like Dongshe, only Weijiawan takes the first step and kills a way to survive, followed by Shiwei Village.

Liu Quanhan's three-year term of office arrived, but the officials asked him to stay in office. Liu Quanhan has no credit, but he is not at fault, it is said that he can continue to be an official, a poor place like Heyang County, it happens to be the best place for people like him, his achievements are not obvious, and there is no one to help him, he already knew that this is the result.

In order to avoid chaos in the next three years, Liu Quanhan forced the people along the Jin River to learn from Weijiawan to dig ponds and level the fields when winter came.

He gathered six township officials in the county and asked them to put pressure on the villages to make an example next spring.

There was no grain in the hoard, and Li Zheng and the villagers were forced to go out to work, and many villagers also saw that they could not form a group like Weijiawan Shiwei Village, and it was impossible to survive the next hard days. Some people have really found a good way of life, while others have a bad fate and disappear after going out.

There is no land, there is no need to dig the pond, the people who bought the land, have to pay to hire workers, those who guard the thin fields, no food to eat, are forced to be anxious, have to sell the land, and then go out to work to make money, the embarrassing life situation changed instantly, others saw it, they did the same, on the bank of the Jin River, the land annexation suddenly unfolded rapidly.

Whether it is selling land or going to work as a hired laborer, it is an income, and those who couldn't survive in the old Jinhe Road have peace of mind with food and silver.

The Dashan family saw the benefits of huddles, and the originally divided family was once again put together, and they took out all their savings to buy land on the old road of Jinhe.

It was because of Wen Jin that they bought the land in the east of Dongshe Village, and finally asked someone to say that they would agree, and paid to replace it with Huang Xiangguan, and they were connected with Wen Jin's.

It is equal to the land of Wen Jin and the Dashan family, and surrounds Zhao Li's. Zhao Qi told his cousin that it was not easy to manage, so Zhao Li took the initiative to replace it with the Wang family.

Wen Jin also took the opportunity to buy 300 acres of land and exchange it for a plot adjacent to his home.

In the process of exchanging land, it is certain that Huang Xiangyi and Zhao Li will not suffer a loss, and the Wang family will have a small loss, but they can think about it, besides, Zhao Li and Huang Xiangyi's pond have been dug halfway, although they lost silver, but they fought for speed.

Wang Dashan's third uncle is honest, and his son is also like Lao Tzu, this land is taken care of by Dashan, and the third uncle and cousin help.

There are shoe shops in Tieshan, and the money of the Wang family flows in continuously, although there are not many of them, but they can't stand people to save, and now, with money in their hands, they continue to hire people to dig ponds and open canals.

The Wang family also plans to build a house, the address is very close to Wen Jin's yard, and the structure is similar, but it has become two side by side, which is also larger than Wen Jin, and the wing rooms are five.

It was cold and evil, but it didn't snow, and the people who picked the medicine were sparse, so Wen Jin handed over the shop to the second uncle, and she returned to Shiwei Village.

When Oyama heard about it, he happily came to visit him with his wife.

"Uncle Dashan!" Wen Jin is also very happy, psychologically, she relies on Wang Dashan more than Qian Xiancheng.

Wen Jin burned the kang, and the room immediately warmed up: "Uncle Dashan, Aunt Dashan, please sit on it." The reed mat was spread on the kang, Wen Jin put it on the kang table, brought a basket of persimmon cakes and peanuts, took the tea bowl, and poured tea.

"Uncle Dashan, you see that we are compared to the gods these days, right?"

"Hehehe" Wang Dashan was very happy.

"Wen Jin, you're here alone, aren't you afraid?"

"I'm not afraid, it's just a little lonely, I'm so glad you're here."

The three chatted for a while, and Dashan asked, "Why doesn't Wen Jin raise ducks?" ”

"I'm too busy this year, I plan to start next year, and I am planting water chestnuts and water chestnuts in the pond this year, and they grow okay, these can be used as feed, I want to increase the pig farm, and I just need to raise some ducks, and I don't plan to make it bigger."

"Hmm!" Dashan felt that it made sense, "Raising pigs can accumulate manure and raise land." ”

"Yes, I guess there will be more pigs next year."

"So should we take a few more sows in the winter?" Oyama asked.

"Yes, Uncle Dashan, at least we don't have to buy piglets next year."

On this side of the river, life was obviously poor, and there were few pig raisers, Wen Jin wanted to buy more piglets at that time, but he couldn't do so.

"Wen Jin, you say, how many years can we raise this land?" Dashan looked longing, according to the output of 500 catties of rice per acre, he could collect two and a half taels of silver, and 1,200 mu was 3,000 taels of silver.

Further east of Dongshe Village, there is Zhangfang Village, this village is smaller, and it is a miscellaneous surname, and now there are people who want to sell land, and some people are at a loss. There is a teacher in the east of the village, and it is easy to marry a widow Wang with a little girl at the age of thirty, this Wang has made great contributions to the Shi family, and gave birth to three male babies in five years, so that the Shi family is already so poor that they have not eaten a meal, which is even worse. The family is poor, there are no relatives who want to go to it, they sell land, there is not much land, they go out to carry work for others, the teacher is old and thin, and the employer does not look down on him. If there is a stepmother, there will be a stepfather, and there will be a stepfather, no matter how Shi Haogu looks at it, he thinks that his wife's daughter who drags the oil bottle is a burden, and Shi Wang's family is also ruthless, in order to please the man and the mother-in-law, he either beats and scolds his daughter, and tortures him to death.
