Bind the system and take your younger siblings to survive in the disaster years

The men didn't even think about buying anything at this time, and they all excitedly talked about today's harvest. I originally thought it would be good to sell it for a few dozen taels of silver, but I didn't expect that it actually sold for a full two hundred taels.

Apart from the 60 taels belonging to Li Qingxiu, they still have 140 taels to divide among the two hundred taels of silver, so each family can still get two or three taels.

They made two or three taels in two months, which is not a small amount of money for these poor people.

Li Zheng smiled and listened to everyone's discussion, feeling happy for this harvest.

He clapped his hands and said, "Okay, okay, everyone, please stop getting excited. This money is the result of our joint efforts."

That king... Mr. Zheng also gave me twenty taels more. These twenty taels are all considered as buying the four treasures of the study, and one set for each of the boys who study for us. What do you guys think? "

Everyone nodded in agreement. Everyone hoped that their son could become a scholar like the son of the Li Zheng family.

Seeing that everyone agreed, Li Zheng spoke again: "Except for the remaining sixty taels belonging to Li Qingxiu, we still have one hundred and twenty taels.

We will first buy pens, ink, paper and inkstones, and then we will give you one tael each of the scraps of silver we found, so that you can buy what you need. The rest of the silver will be divided after we return to the valley. "

Everyone was very excited after hearing Li Zheng's arrangements. They all praised Li Zheng for his thoughtfulness, which not only took into account the education of the children, but also took care of everyone's daily needs.

So, they first went to the bookstore to buy the cheapest Four Treasures of the Study. At first, the bookstore manager was so scared that his legs were weak when he saw so many men swarming in. He thought he was being robbed.

I was relieved when I heard later that I was here to buy the Four Treasures of the Study. Li Zheng had the experience of buying the Four Treasures of the Study for Li Xuan before, so he picked the cheapest one as soon as he opened the door.

Unexpectedly, prices in Xinzhou City were so high. A set of the cheapest four treasures of the study cost one tael. They had more than thirty children studying, which obviously exceeded the budget of 20 taels.

The men didn't know what to do at the moment. If each of the children was given a set of the four treasures of the study, then the amount of money they would receive would be reduced.

But if they don't buy it, the children will have no choice but to continue writing on the ground with branches and never learn to use a brush. This won't work either.

Li Zheng felt that he should buy pens, inks, paper and inkstones, but not more than twenty taels.

So he decided to buy a writing brush for every child who was studying, and ten cheap and inferior inkstones. Several children would share one inkstone and use the remaining money to buy the worst paper.

Brothers Li Dazhuang and Li Erzhuang kept bargaining with the shopkeeper. But the shopkeeper keeps saying that the prices in Xinzhou City are so high now and cannot be lowered any further.

After hearing this, dozens of men asked the shopkeeper to make it cheaper. As country people, they speak loudly and rudely.

After a few words, the bookstore owner was so frightened that he thought he was going to be beaten, so he quickly handed over a lot of paper, and then the group of men in front of him left with smiles and contentment.

Before leaving the bookstore, Li Zheng exchanged the remaining silver for broken silver. According to his previous promise, he first gave everyone a tael of silver. Everyone felt very happy with this tael of silver.

Next, everyone went to several food stores and walked around, but they all came out empty-handed with frowns on their faces.

It's not that they don't want to buy it, but the prices in Xinzhou City are too high. A pound of brown rice costs 30 cents, and black noodles cost 20 cents.

Not to mention those good rice and noodles, and no matter what kind of food, each person can only buy one pound.

They went to the cloth shop again. A foot of the worst linen in the cloth shop cost fifteen cents a foot. Some men decided to buy some because they wanted to work.

When the clothes are made, they can be put on the outside of cotton clothes, so as not to scratch their newly made cotton clothes.

There are also some men who want to buy chickens and ducks to raise, but they are not sold at all in the market. The entire market can be said to be extremely depressed, with only one or two selling pork.

Li Zheng asked when he heard that a pound of pork costs fifty cents. He immediately smacked his tongue. This is not eating meat. It is simply eating money.

On the other side, brothers Li Dazhuang and Li Erzhuang didn't have anything to buy. They saw a grocery store and thought it would be a good idea to buy some seeds.

Fortunately, seeds were not expensive, so they bought some bean seeds, vegetable seeds, and rice seeds. Li Erzhuang had a good eye, and he also saw cotton seeds for sale.

When he thought about how expensive the cotton in the cloth shop just now was, if the whole family wanted to buy cloth to make clothes, it would cost a lot of money. He might as well grow his own cotton, since his mother could weave cloth anyway.

So Li Erzhuang also spent 50 yuan to buy a large bag of cotton seeds. When Li Dazhuang saw this, he thought about it and bought 50 yuan of cotton seeds.

When the other men learned that the Li Dazhuang brothers had bought cotton seeds, they thought about it and reacted.

Yes, they can buy cotton, grow it and weave it themselves, and if they have a lot of cotton, they can sell it and make money.

So they also went into the grocery store and bought out all the boss's cotton seed inventory.

The grocery store owner beamed with joy. After being depressed for so long, he finally had big business today.

……

When Li Zheng said this, he took out the remaining silver and handed sixty taels to Li Qingxiu in front of everyone.

"This is your six hundred kilograms of leeks. Keep it yourself."

Li Qingxiu graciously accepted the sixty taels amidst everyone's envious gazes.

She returned to the seat where she had just sat, and Li Xiaocao said with an adoring look on his face: "Qingxiu, I envy you so much, what should I do?"

Li Qingxiu smiled slightly and said softly: "You don't have to envy me. As long as you are determined and work hard, you can get unexpected rewards."

Li Qingxiu's words seemed to ignite the fire in Li Xiaocao's heart. From this moment on, Li Xiaocao decided to follow Li Qingxiu's example and work hard to change his life.

Next, Li Zheng distributed the remaining silver so that each family got their own share.

After the money was divided, Li Zheng asked the men to go to the cellar to move out all the grain first. The men knew what Li Zheng meant as soon as they heard it, which was to take away all the supplies in Gongzhongli.

The joyful smiles on everyone's faces deepened. The men went to the cellar to carry all the food to the straw shed, while the women went home to get cloth bags and bamboo baskets to pack the supplies.

Before Li was distributing the grain, he also said to everyone: "Since each family's house has been built, I will distribute all the grain and materials in the public house to you on a per-person basis. If the distribution is not enough in the end."

Then I will also use the public money to pay for it. From now on, everyone can live their own lives, and it is up to you to decide whether your life is good or bad. "

Li Zheng's words filled everyone's hearts with expectations. They knew that this was a new beginning.
