There were tanks in the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 2
Pay back?

Li Chu was stunned for a moment. In his ex's memory, he didn't seem to owe this guy any money.

Seeing Li Chu stunned, Zhang Laocai thought he was scared. He cleared away his depression and laughed crazily. The IOU was written on white and black paper. If the money was not paid, everything in the house would have to be replenished, and there was still money to be paid. To be tortured and exiled.

Zhang Laocai had inquired about Li Chu's situation a long time ago. In order to gamble, Li Chu mortgaged the land deed to the village official. Now there is nothing valuable in his house, only people.

If this matter is brought up to the county magistrate, Li Chu's exile will not be able to escape. At that time, the weak wife and brother left in the family will not be bullied by others?
Originally, Zhang Laocai wanted to treat Yang's sister gently, but now, since he didn't do anything, he would go on and on, and he didn't have to talk about affection with Yang's sister, so he tore up the disguise and directly raised his request: "I Knowing that you have no money to pay back, if you want me not to sue the officials, you don’t have to pay back the money. If you divorce the sister of the Yang family and let her marry me as a concubine, I will cancel this matter with you. Otherwise, we will see you at the county government. "

A line of tears flowed from the corner of Axiu's eyes...

Li Chu turned around and saw Axiu secretly wiping away tears with his sleeves. He apologized softly and softly to Axiu: "I'm sorry, I have made you suffer for a while, can you tell me the specific situation?"

There were more tears in Axiu's eyes, and Li Chu was heartbroken watching it. He could somewhat understand how heavy the burden on Axiu was in the past month, and that such a strong person could be forced into such a situation.

Axiu told Li Chu about the loan in a soft voice. After listening, Li Chu patted Axiu's shoulder lightly, and said softly, "Leave this to me, and I will handle it."

To put it simply, Axiu was cheated and went to the doctor in a hurry. She borrowed ten pennies from Zhang Laocai and bought a century-old ginseng from a passing drug dealer.

It seems simple, but there are many ways inside. First, there are rumors from nowhere that Li Chuyi will be able to wake up as long as he takes a hundred-year-old ginseng. Xiu didn't have much time to think, and Zhang Laocai took the initiative to borrow money, and finally found out after buying it that it was not a century-old ginseng, but an ordinary ten-year ginseng.

Zhang Laocai's borrowing of money is not ordinary interest, but usury...

This is a trick, it is clearly intended to cheat Axiu.

"Have you two discussed it? Do you want to meet the official with me, or send the Yang family girl into my house?" Zhang Laocai wiped the blood on his face, but the more he smeared it, the more fearful Li Chu was. character, how dare to go to see the official?

He had already begun to envision the scene after the Yang family girl entered his house.

Very good, this secret loss, Li Chu wrote it down.

Judging from the current situation, we can only let this guy be proud for a while.

Immediately, Li Chu called out the customization system and bought a small flashlight from it. It was the Taobao kind of flashlight that cost a few dollars each. The appearance was quite fashionable and exquisite, and it cost him 2 custom coins.

He took out the flashlight, turned on the light and shot it at the corner of Zhang Laocai's eyes, which shocked Zhang Laocai, and the surrounding crowd took a small step back in shock.

Although it is broad daylight, the spotlight from the flashlight is relatively bright. From the perspective of the surrounding crowd, the things in Li Chu's hands are actually shining brightly, and there is a small light appearing anywhere, especially when it hits the eyes. Do not open your eyes.

"This thing is called a night light. It is made of South China Sea night pearls and black jade glazed coral. It is in broad daylight now. This baby is not very effective. If it is dark or at night, it will be like daytime anywhere, and the value is not as high as mine. said."

Made of night pearls?
Everyone was quite surprised, it turned out to be a night pearl, no wonder it can shine.

Looking at the black and smooth handle, it really is black jade coral, and this thing is very small, it is much more convenient to hold in the hand than the night pearl, everyone's eyes are hot immediately, those who have no money can only stare at it, and those who have money are ready to move .

Li Chu demonstrated the switch to everyone, and after letting them understand, he threw the flashlight to Zhang Laocai, and said coldly: "This baby is temporarily suppressing you, and in a month, I will get 25 pennies with interest." Money to redeem this treasure, if I don’t have so much money then, this treasure will belong to you.”

The items produced by the system only said that selling them directly would affect the score, but did not say that he was not allowed to use them as collateral for an extension. As long as he gave him 25 coins and took the flashlight back, there would be no impact.

Zhang Laocai held a flashlight with a face full of surprise and disbelief. He carefully stroked the dark and smooth plastic barrel and came closer to watch the carefully watching people.

It was so unexpected, when this baby appeared, he forgot everything, his eyes were all focused on this baby, when Li Chu asked him if he agreed, Zhang Laocai nodded yes yes.

"There is a room next to it, you can go inside and try the effect."

As soon as Li Chu pointed out, Zhang Laocai immediately jumped up and down and ran to the house in a fat suit. The crowd on the street also followed Zhang Laocai to squeeze into which room, all of them were curious. , scrambling to be the first.

After the crowds on the street were gone, Li Chu looked at Axiu with a dazed expression, put his finger on her forehead, picked up the bamboo basket on the ground and threw it into her arms.

"You go home first, I have something else to do, I'll come back later."

"Oh."

Axiu nodded eccentrically, walked a few steps with the bamboo basket in her arms, and then came to her senses. She turned to look at Li Chu, only to see Li Chu's disappearing back.

……

Li Chu has already thought of a way to improve his life, but there is still one thing he needs to confirm.

After leaving Rufen Town, walk along the official road to the northeast, not far away, and then take a small road to the east. According to the memory of the original body, there seems to be an open-air coal mine there.

Coal, people in the Song Dynasty like to call this black stone and coal, and coal mining has also formed a scale. In Shanxi, the government stepped forward to set up a coal factory and sold coal.

In the generation of Jingbei Road, the trend of coal is not prevalent. There are few coal resources, and the government has not promoted them. Only occasionally some open-pit coal mines are quarried by some ordinary people, but they don’t know how to fire them. poisoning incident.

Although cheap, it is not as convenient as firewood.

Li Chu found this open-pit coal mine. There are open-pit coal lumps everywhere in the mountain depression, with an area of ​​about ten acres.He broke a relatively thick branch to make a small stick, and walked to the middle of the mountain depression, poking the coal under his feet with the branch from time to time to test the quality of the coal.

The quality of the coal here is much better than what Li Chu expected, and it can be burned directly with just a little screening.It was an unexpected surprise,

Li Chu's house is on the edge of Fushui, not far from Rufen Town, only two miles away.There is a small road on the side of the coal mine that can be directly passed through.

When I got home, Axiu was already waiting at the door.

"Don't go out in the afternoon, the leftover pancakes will be eaten today, and you don't have to get up early to make pancakes tomorrow." As Li Chu said, he dug out two baskets from the debris in the yard. , a bit worn out, barely usable.

Without waiting for Axiu to speak, she threw the shovel into the basket, picked up two baskets with a shoulder pole and went out again, heading for the open-pit coal mine along the path.

When he came back, it was already noon, and Li Chu parked two baskets of coal in the courtyard with sweat all over his face. This body's physical fitness was still too poor, and he was so tired after a load of coal. Seeing Axiu staring at him with an aggrieved face, there was a little anger in her eyes.

"Do you think I've lost face for you?"

Li Chuyi couldn't understand Ah Xiu's angry appearance for a while.

Li Chu wiped the sweat off his face and asked with a smile, "What's wrong?"

A drop of tears rolled down Axiu's face, Axiu threw the sweat towel on Li Chu, turned around with a look of grief and indignation, walked to the corner of the wall, picked up a long wooden stick, and held a gun flower in her hand , and poked at Li Chu.

I rely on!

Li Chu was frightened, so he quickly picked up the shoulder pole next to him to block left and right, but he didn't block it even once. The wooden stick in Axiu's hand struck out quickly and accurately, and within a short while, he hit Li Chu several times. At the end, he switched stabs to slashes, and drove Li Chuman away from the courtyard.

Axiu knows martial arts.

Only then did Li Chu realize that Daddy Yang knew marksmanship, and he was amazing with a long spear. He didn't expect that a daughter of Axiu's family would also learn her father's marksmanship. Seeing this posture, it will take eight years if not ten years .

Slowly, Li Chu stopped running, and still let Axiu hit him. He noticed that every time Axiu hit with a stick, the tears on his face would increase, and Axiu's shots were not heavy. , looks sharp, but is very light when it falls on the body.

Axiu stopped beating and threw the stick to Li Chu, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said earnestly: "You think I want to embarrass you? There is only less than four hundred coins left at home. If I don’t sell cage cakes, who will support this family?”

Li Chu was stunned, he didn't expect that the reason why Axiu was sad was that he despised a single mistake.

The feudal class killed people.

"You misunderstood me. I told you not to sell cage cakes because I was too tired to see you. Besides, I already have a better way to make money." Li Chu seriously said to Axiu Chen: "I survived this catastrophe. , let me figure out a lot of things, I used to be an asshole, and you have suffered so much, now I will get rid of the original bad habits, treat you well, and let you live happily."

Axiu bowed her head shyly, Li Chu's true confession made her blush.

"Duplicity, hum!"

Axiu walked quickly into the room without looking back, and closed the door tightly, leaning her back against the door, her face blushing.In the room, an eight-year-old girl was holding a doll and looking at the elder sister curiously.

……

By the looks of it, she shouldn't be angry anymore.

After Axiu returned to the house, Li Chu cleared an open space in the yard, dumped two baskets of coal on the ground, and then carried the baskets back and forth twice. After transporting enough coal, he dug a lot of yellow on the soil slope outside the yard. The mud is poured in the yard, mixed with water and coal.

Exhaled the custom system, spent 1 custom coin, and bought a lotus root coal machine...

This is a simple lotus root briquette machine, which is hand-held by private households in the countryside, the kind that is manually pressed by hand, or called a honeycomb briquette mold, and only one briquette briquette can be produced at a time.

The type of briquettes produced is 160mm.

A worker must first sharpen his tools if he wants to do well.

Originally, Li Chuyi had no idea where to start. After meeting Zhang Laocai today, he had already thought of what to do.
