There was only one square table, two stools, and a wooden bed.

On the bed, a teenager was suffering from a high fever, his face was as red as a charcoal stove, and his forehead was covered with a wet towel.

Hearing his mother's call, his chapped lips made a weak voice, "Mother! ”

"Huzi, my mother is here, my mother will take you to see the doctor immediately."

The woman began to rummage through the cabinets, but she could find anything.

The little girl's eyes were red, and she took out a stack of silver tickets, but Lin Bai took them back, and only took out some broken silver.

"Auntie, there are some broken silver here, take it to the child's doctor!"

The woman was at a loss and wanted to take it, but perhaps there was something that drove her not to pick it up, and finally she knelt on the ground with a "bang", crying.

"Childe, this silver should be borrowed by the people's women, and the people's women will definitely pay it back in the future."

"No!"

Lin Bai said, "These are advanced to you, and in the future, your silkworm cocoons will be all for the Su family, and there is no need to reduce the price." ”

The woman seemed incredulous.

Chasing the moon reminded: "Auntie, take the child to see the doctor!" ”

"That's right! Right! Look at the doctor. ”

The woman didn't care about thanks, and hurriedly left with the child on her back.

"Brother-in-law, they are so pitiful, why don't they give more money, stingy guys!"

Out of the village, the little girl's eyes were still red, and she seemed to be very dissatisfied.

Chasing Yue hurriedly said: "Second Miss, it is not good for them to give more silver. ”

It's out of breath!

Lin Bai touched the little girl's head, "It's right to sympathize with the weak, but to help others, you must also pay attention to methods, and you will get a lot of hard work." ”

"Moreover, you can help one, but you can't help everyone, unless you can solve the problem at the root."

The little girl didn't seem to understand, and said, "Then you will solve the problem from the root!" ”

Scold!

Speaking is better than singing.

If my brother-in-law is a god, the problem of poverty has not been solved since ancient times.

That's not right!

Although there is no solution to poverty, the problems of these silkworm farmers may not be unsolved, at least the price is ......

"Chasing the moon, why is there such a big difference between the price that my uncle just heard from the woman and the price of the cloth village?"

Before coming, Lin Bai did some homework and had an idea of the price of silkworm cocoons, but it was completely different from what the woman said just now.

The purchase price of Sujiabu Village is at least more than double that of what the woman said.

"Uncle, it's always been like this."

Chasing the moon explained, "The goods of silkworm farmers cannot be directly to the hands of the cloth village, because they are scattered, usually collected by the village head first, and then to the mulberry leaf town, during which the people do not know how much, in short, the layers are handed over, and finally the price to the cloth village and the price sold by the silkworm farmers are like now." ”

"The eldest lady once thought about bypassing these people, but in the end it was fruitless, first, it was unrealistic to collect it door-to-door, and second, the resistance was too great."

"From Fuguo County to Sangye Town, as well as the village heads, and even Jiangzhou officials, the eldest lady said that the interests here are too great to be bypassed."

I see!

The silkworm is the pillar of Mulberry Town, this is a big piece of fat meat, and everyone wants to take a bite.

It's not enough to pay taxes, you have to grab food in the bowl of silkworm farmers, and exploit them layer by layer.

Lin Bai asked, "The same is true of the three major cloth villages?" ”

"Right"

Chasing the moon nodded, "The scale of the three major cloth villages is larger, and the price may be slightly lower, but it should not be much different." ”

Therefore, most of these profits actually go into the pockets of those moths, if the cloth village can be directly connected with the silkworm farmers, the price of silkworm cocoons not only does not need to be reduced, but even has a lot of room for improvement.

It's just that this resistance......

Lin Bai suddenly understood why the old mother-in-law had to take the merit test herself, in this era, it was too difficult to do something without fame.

But how do you know without trying?

"Chasing the moon, don't go to the town, go directly to Weijia Village."

……

There are nearly 300 households in Weijia Village, which is not small, and they are all with the same surname, so they are more united.

The price of silkworm cocoons has been lowered, and the magnitude is so large, it has naturally attracted a lot of dissatisfaction.

At this moment, under the old locust tree at the head of Weijia Village, a large group of people are gathering together, making a noise.

The chief Chen Musen has a big belly and poop.

Zhao Yunlin was also on the side, leaning back on the chair and crossing Erlang's legs.

"That's the way it is, this year's market is like this, if you go to Jiangzhou City, you will know that a large piece of cloth has fallen in the city, so the price of this silkworm cocoon is ......"

Chen Musen spoke.

There was a commotion below.

"When the business is good, I don't see you raise the price, so why should the bad business be counted on us?"

"That's it! Do you want to kill people at this price? ”

"Who knows if the business is good or bad, maybe you did it on purpose."

“……”

"Enough of the noise?"

Chen Musen had a cold face, "I said that it is not your village's business, and other villages can accept it, why can't you?" ”

His face was angry, and everyone suddenly didn't dare to speak, although the lieutenant was not big, but everything could stop them.

"It's not a question of whether it's acceptable or not, it's that everyone needs to eat." At this time, a female voice sounded, with a face of national peace and security, dressed as an ordinary peasant woman, with a righteous face.

Beside her, Wei Jin also chimed in: "Not bad! It's not going to let us live. ”

"Wei Jin, Wei Qing, it's your brother and sister again."

Chen Musen's face sank.

Zhao Yunlin seemed a little impatient, and said lightly: "The market is like this, the town next door, and Qingzhou, there are many goods waiting for Ben Gongzi to collect, Ben Gongzi is just too lazy to toss." ”

"If you can accept this price, you can sign it, if you can't accept it, you will pull it down, my son will stay in Mulberry Town for three days, and you can sign a contract at any time during these three days."

"But if it's more than three days, then I'm sorry, the three major cloth houses won't ask for your goods anymore, you can sell them somewhere else!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was anxious.

If they could sell it elsewhere, they would have sold it a long time ago.

In this day and age, the cost of transportation is too great, and they have no other choice.

The most important thing is that everyone has heard that the three major cloth banks want to unify the market, and the other cloth banks are either annexed or closed down, and if the three major cloth houses do not accept them, then they really have nowhere to sell.

"Don't listen to him, silkworm farmers in other places are not stupid, this price is equal to nothing."

Wei Qing said loudly.

Zhao Yunlin's sharp eyes swept over, "You have a lot of backbone, I will fulfill you, don't want your goods from the three major cloth villages, not only that, if you make trouble again, the price of the entire Weijia Village will be reduced by half a percent." ”

"Believe me, except for the three major cloth villages, no one can ask for your goods, if you don't believe it, you can try."

Everyone's faces have changed, and if they are lowered by half, they will be even more unable to live.

"Don't ...... if you don't"

Wei Qing was angry and wanted to say something, but was stopped by Wei Jin and couldn't affect other silkworm farmers.

Zhao Yunlin smiled disdainfully when he saw this.

At this time, a coquettish voice came, "What a big breath, it seems that there is no cloth village in the world except for the three major cloth villages, you don't want my Sujia cloth village to accept all the orders." ”
