Chapter 5 Five taels of silver
Hanxiang http://www./0_56/ Jing and 2 God’s new book "Hanxiang"! Chapter 5 Five taels of silver
The villagers all have the same idea. If life can continue, no one will make a fuss about the village chief.
But over the years, the more they give in, the more the village chief is getting too far. Life is getting worse and worse. This blood-sucking worm is full of energy, but what about these villagers?
Think about it, two pounds of fat pork can make the village children rush forward and beat people with mercy. These children are the most real explanation.
The villagers thought to themselves and thought to themselves that after so many years of anger, Chen San finally stood up to talk to them today, and they all felt excited! The eyes of Chen Kang also became hot, and they had forgotten that they were just an eight-year-old child in front of them.
Xie Jing was stunned. When the first snow was snowing, Xuan Ya Zhenren, who was overwhelmed by the clouds on the mountain, passed by the village and left a word. The purple air filled the courtyard. The Tianquan star was about to shine on the world and save the people from the fire and water.
What does this mean?
Purple Qi is a symbol of auspiciousness and blessings. The Tianquan Star is the Wenqu Star mentioned by the people!
Hearing this, he was proud and wanted to seize the time to have another one with his wife, but now looking at Chen Kang, he felt a little suspicious. Chen San, is it Tianquanxing?
He shook his head, squeezed Chen Kang hard with the corner of his eyes, and spat secretly. How could a sick man who was dragging half a breath be Tian Quanxing? He was so confused!
He thought again that there were trivial matters around him, and someone from above took over him. But the matters in the Yu Mine must not be expanded and brought to investigate, otherwise his Xie family would be ruined.
After a long silence, he said in a stiff tone: "It seems that the New Year is over. Chen Er and Shen San are seriously injured. I am afraid that it will affect your family's progress in sowing the next year. I can give in to a step back and pay you two taels of silver. Do you think it's OK?"
"Hu." This is because of surrender, but the money is too little!
Chen Kang exhaled secretly and said, "Ten taels."
He had no specific concept of the money of the Ming Dynasty, nor could he predict the purchasing power of two taels of silver. He just remembered that he had read a few words in the book.
Simply put, a stone in the Ming Dynasty was about 94 kilograms of modern times. The farming level in the Ming Dynasty was not as good as that in modern times. Each acre of land could also earn 100 to 150 kilograms of rice. Because it is in the north, it can only harvest one quarter a year. According to this algorithm, the Shen family has ten acres of land, which can harvest 1,000 to 1,500 kilograms of rice a year!
The taxes in the Ming Dynasty were not high, with only one dou of rice per mu. Only one hundred kilograms of rice had to be paid for ten acres of land. After deducting the annual ration, he had no time to calculate the amount of surplus, but it was not a problem to support a family of five.
However, their family lives in poverty. He Xie, the village chief, occupied more than 500 kilograms of grain in a year, let alone the entire Xianan Village?
Even so, he did not expect the village chief to pay ten taels of silver to compensate. Even if the village chief did, how could he dare to slap it in public?
You know, in this era, two taels of silver is enough for a farmer to spend a year! It is conceivable how much wealth ten taels of silver is!
Xie Jing thought about it and pretended to be angry and replied: "It's really a lion. I'm busy from the beginning of the year to the end of the year and still can't make money and give it to you? Why don't you throw it in the water! Let me ask my family to eat the northwest wind?" He was so angry that his face turned red, and he paused for a while and then said: "Five liang, if you want love, don't pull it down!"
Chen Kang blinked his eyes, his dark pupils shining brightly, he raised his lips slightly, revealing eight white and neat teeth. He folded his fingers with his right hand and twisted his left sleeve, and said slowly: "Dad, let's go home with the village chief to withdraw money." He turned to look at Liu Yuan and said: "Uncle Liu, I, I'm afraid the village chief, can you ask you to go with us? When you get the money, San'er will give you a drink."
Liu Yuan was so brave that he was so brave that he was asking for help pitifully. He still knew he was afraid?
I am a scholar, who cares about him buying wine?
"If that doesn't work... San'er will give you one or two taels of silver?"
Liu Yuan was almost angry with his first words and thought, but he didn't want to bother him, so he was despised by this kid!
Chen Kang looked at his angry beard slightly ups and downs, and knew that the joke was getting bigger, so he hurriedly whispered: "It's not that I'm stingy, but my second brother broke his arm, and I was beaten to death and bloody, so it would cost a lot of money."
I originally planned to leave, but he hesitated after hearing this. The child is a child after all, and this family is pitiful.
If there is any solution, Chen San will not beg for himself so humbly.
He nodded, his tone was soft and still with a southern accent that was out of place with the villagers, and said slowly: "There is no need for money, drink... Forget it, I'll go with you."
"Thank you, uncle of the Liu family!" Chen Kang replied with a crisp smile.
Others called him Liu Yuan and Xiucai Gong. He only realized now that the child had always called him uncle and Liu family uncle. He couldn't help but feel warm. He stopped pursuing him to be clever and said with a good attitude: "I'll go with you."
Chen Kang bowed sincerely and bowed politely: "Thank you!" Scholars are very proud of their face and are most afraid of others using common things to inspire them. It is the same in ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad.
Liu Yuan looked at Chen Kang, nodded, and sighed in his heart. He had always heard that Chen San was weak and sick but kind and polite.
If the children of poor farmers were not forced to retreat, how could they be as aggressive as they were just now? They just confronted the village chief's aura... Liu Yuan smiled and looked kind.
Seeing this scene, the village chief was so angry!
He said with a straight face: "I compensated your family and my son was injured, so what should I say?"
Chen Kang frowned for a moment and said with a smile: "Our family is penniless and has no power or power. I will listen to whatever the village chief says."
He, he dares to show me a generous look!
Xie Jing's chest kept rising and falling. A cow was nothing, as if he was interested. He looked at Chen Kang's thin body, which was obviously an eight-year-old boy, but he looked only six or seven years old.
He laughed in a low voice and said, "Remember your first offense, just kneel to the ancestral hall for a night of punishment and great warning."
"This is very reasonable." Chen Kang responded with a smile. He knew that in the cold winter, there will definitely be no fire in the place like the ancestral hall, and he will take his life.
But that night, he had to go.
Chen Chang stepped forward and said, "I have a share to beat Xie Lin, and I will kneel together with San'er."
idiot!
Chen Kang couldn't help but urge to scold him. The village chief clearly saw that he was weak and provoked many times to punish him. He ran into him regardless of what he did!
But when the words came to his mouth... he felt sad again. These were his family and brothers. Even though he knew that going with him would not relieve his slight punishment, he was willing to suffer together.
"Hmph, let it go." Xie Lin didn't look at Chen Chang, and turned to walk straight to the house.
Xie Jing originally wanted to pass the compensation on the matter of perfunctory first. In a few days, Chen Chang and Shen Kang's injuries were healed, so he just took it as nothing. However, this little thief was tricky and dragged Liu Yuan to get the money together.
He walked in front, a trace of murderous intent flashed through his eyes.
