At this time, when I heard the old accountant's words, the villagers around me were extremely depressed.

The strong people are so cruel that even the old patriarch's family is killed. If the old accountant cannot borrow money to satisfy the strong people's requests, the strong people will definitely slaughter Qinjia Village. This is a lawless era.

Half a year ago, Huangjia Village failed to pay the "Autumn Cash" and was slaughtered by the thieves who planted Yunfeng.

There was only one month left before the strong man said it, and then the villagers had only the only way out for escape.

This was the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, and the refugees were in chaos. The refugees could not find a job. The villagers in Qinjia Village were extorted by thieves several times and paid a lot of money to the thieves. The family didn't have much silver. In this way, they fled to the county town and ate whatever they had in the future. Will they be beggars and starved to death in the city in the future?

Some women's eyes turned red and tears flowed down.

A man living in the south of the village squatted on the ground in frustration, lowered his head and said nothing, as if there was no hope in life.

Huang Deneng, who lived in the middle of the village, was very angry. He angrily kicked his feet on a grass on the ground, kicking one after another, as if he wanted to kick his cotton shoes.

The family living in the east of the village looked at each other, and you looked at me and I looked at you, and their eyes turned bloody. The man who was the decision touched his sleeves and touched the only property of the family. He gently mopped the piece of broken silver with his hand and shook his head helplessly.

How many months can these two taels of silver support the family to escape? The price of rice is so high these days. Even if you sleep in the streets on the county town, you don’t need to rent a house, but you still have to buy rice for dinner! If you can’t plow the fields and plant some vegetables in the fields to satisfy your hunger, if you can’t use the fields as collateral and borrow food from others, the two taels of silver may have to be spent in three months. How can the family support you in three months?

The man in this family became more and more serious the more he thought about it. In the end, he felt that he had no strength to stand and squatted down powerlessly.

A woman next to him suddenly screamed loudly, and cried with tears and snot, "I can't survive anymore, I can't survive anymore. I thought I would starve to death when I was not in the process of being in trouble, but now I can't pass April, so I'll starve to death on the streets!"

Hearing the woman's crying, countless people cried out.

"I can't survive anymore!"

"I can't survive anymore! Where can I survive? The rice fields in my house are useless."

"The thief who is killed in heaven, I'm fighting with these robbers!"

The more the group cried, the louder the sound, and finally they all cried. Dozens of people gathered around the east entrance of the village and cried loudly, which was even more miserable than mourning. More people walked out of the village and learned about the situation here, and fell into despair and joined the howling team.

Who can stay calm in the face of desperate situations?

In the end, almost all the people in the village came out and cried together.

However, the old accountant who had just cried was still relatively calm at this time, standing there like a flagpole, only occasionally sighing to the sky.

Qin Zhao looked at the surrounding villagers and found that there were only four or five people crying in despair.

He couldn't stand the despair of these villagers. Qin Zhao said to the old accountant: "Qin Youli, I have a way to save the villagers. You can find a few people who have not cried or collapsed and call them to my yard. I will teach you how to raise money."

Qin Youli was stunned when he heard Qin Zhao's words, twisted his neck to ninety degrees in surprise, and looked at Qin Zhao with disbelief.

Qin Zhao patted the old accountant's shoulder and said, "Believe me, call those Huang Deneng, Qin Ding'an, and those who are a little calm and composed in my yard. We will discuss how to raise money to save the villagers. I, Qin Zhao, said I, can do it, call them quickly!"

After saying this, Qin Zhao walked to his own house without looking back.

The old accountant looked at Qin Zhao's back in surprise and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

Why is this young man so calm when things come to an end? He also said that he has a way to raise money, is it true?

However, in the past few days he took Qin Zhao to borrow money from various villages, Qin Zhao was indeed calm and calm and did not make any mistakes. If an ordinary person had lost his mind when he couldn't borrow money, he would have lost his mind, but Qin Zhao had been calm and confident.

Could it be that this seventeen-year-old Qin Zhao really has a way to raise money?

The old accountant suddenly thought: Qin Zhao was from a wealthy family when he was a child. He was sent to the private school of scholars in the town for a few years and studied with many rich children at home. Although it was already six or seven years ago, maybe Qin Zhao could still use the relationship he met at that time?

The old accountant was shocked and patted his right fist to his left hand. He suddenly became excited. He swept forward and saw that Qin Zhao was talking about Huang Deneng, Qin Ding'an was still calm. He hurried up, pulled these people out one by one, and pulled them into Qin Zhao's yard.

Qin Zhao took a step ahead and walked into his own yard.

The yard is not big, and the original atmospheric layout can be seen. There is a small gatehouse at the entrance, and there are two inverted rooms behind the arch wall. There are two wing rooms on the east and west sides, and there are three main rooms opposite the arch wall. There are seven rooms in the entire yard. The ground is covered with blue bricks, the walls are painted with white lime, and the roof is covered with black tiles.

Obviously, when Qin Zhao's parents were still there, the family was once rich.

However, Qin Zhao's parents died a few years ago. Qin Zhao started to farm in the fields at the age of fourteen and grew up under the care of the villagers. The yard has not been repaired for a long time, and the tiled roofs of five of them have been damaged by wind and rain. Wild grasses have grown and cannot be lived in. There are only two main halls, which are still good, and it is Qin Zhao's living room.

Qin Zhao walked into the main hall and sat down, poured a pot of cold well water from the water jug ​​and took a sip, and quietly waited for the old accountant and the others to come.

Not long after, there was a hurried footsteps outside the house.

The first person to rush into the yard was Qin Zhao’s childhood playmate Qin Ning.

"Qin Zhao! What can you do to raise money?"

Qin Ning is half a year younger than Qin Zhao. He plays the most speculative with Qin Zhao on weekdays and is more casual with each other. He rushed to Qin Zhao excitedly and said, "Qin Zhao! If he can raise money to save the whole village, it will be a great achievement!"

Qin Zhao pressed with his hands and signaled Qin Ning not to be excited. He asked Qin Ning to sit on the chair in the main hall and wait for several other villagers with him.

"What's Qin Zhao's idea? This child's parents died early and had always been stunned. What's the idea? Could it be that they're making fun of us?"

Not long after, the old accountant Qin Youli brought in with a few villagers. The leader was Zhao Liangce, who was in his thirties. Although he lived in the Qin family village for generations, his surname was not Qin.

It seemed that he didn't believe that Qin Zhao was able to raise funds. While he walked, he asked Qin Youli questions and confirmed.

Three people followed Qin Youli in. At this time, everyone was in a bad mood. After entering the Qin family's yard, they did not enter the main hall. They stood behind the screen wall and stood in a circle, staring at Qin Zhao, who was sitting in the main hall with suspicious eyes.

After all, Qin Zhao is just a seventeen-year-old boy, and he has always been honest and a little stupid.
