Chapter 5 Xu Ming

The rest of the people who went out to "negotiate with the thieves" nodded and said yes, and all spoke out to prove Qin Youli and Zhao Liangce's words.

The villagers finally looked at Qin Zhao, who had always been honest and honest.

Qin Zhao has always been known for his honesty in the village, so honest that he is sometimes bullied and never speaks. He never lies and lies. The villagers all know his temper. When Qin Youli said that it was Qin Zhao's decision this time, the villagers wanted to see what Qin Zhao said.

Qin Zhao nodded and said loudly: "What the old accountant said is reasonable. As long as we pay this money, our good days will come! In the future, everyone will grow grain if they want to grow vegetables. If they want to grow vegetables, they will grow vegetables. There will never be any forceful people to interfere!"

Hearing Qin Zhao's inspiring words, the crowd burst into cheers.

The villagers believed the same thing when the six people said the same words.

Just pay one and a half taels of silver and be let go. This is much better than leaving the countryside and desperate. These days, one stone of silver is sold for three taels of silver, and the money is not worth it. The villagers can still make up one and a half taels of silver in each household. If they really can't sell eighty kilograms of grain, they will have it. They suddenly had hope of life, and everyone was happy and smiled. They heard that the old accountant said that it was Qin Zhao's ruthless words to win such conditions for everyone, and they looked at Qin Zhao very well, and they all called Qin Zhao Brother.

"Brother Zhao is doing this well!"

"Thanks to Brother Zhao!"

"Brother Zhao seems to have become smarter and calm these days, which is very different from before!"

Qin Youli was unambiguous in his work, so he immediately moved out a table of cases from his home and started sitting in the middle of the village to check in cash.

The villagers had already paid one and a half taels of silver as a wedding, and no one was delayed. Even if the poor family could not afford one and five cents of silver, they had borrowed the money from the neighboring villagers and collected enough of their own share to Qin Youli.

As long as you don’t have to escape, you can continue to farm, and you can always pay it back when you save money in the future.

...

Three days later, Qin Youli collected 147 taels of silver.

After getting the money, Qin Zhao took Qin Youli, Qin Ning and Zhao Liangce to Guangzhou Prefecture to buy gunpowder.

Guangzhou Prefecture is the largest city in Lingnan and a place where merchants gather. If Qin Zhao wants to buy gunpowder, of course he can only go to Guangzhou Prefecture to buy it.

Along the way, the old accountant kept asking Qin Zhao about his specific plans. After asking, he didn't know how many questions he asked. Finally, he asked all of Qin Zhao's plans. After confirming that Qin Zhao's plan was not a problem, the old accountant felt relieved and began to feel extremely relaxed, as if the pressure on his shoulders suddenly disappeared.

From then on, he focused on everything in Qin Zhao.

It is difficult to buy gunpowder, and it is not easy to say.

First of all, in this era, there were very few gunpowder, and very few shops sold it. Even if someone wanted to sell it, he had to repeatedly select customers, for fear of selling it to a villain and doing bad things to get into a lawsuit. Although the old accountant had heard of the price of gunpowder before, he had never heard of any gunpowder for sale in the field. Qin Zhao could only search in Guangzhou City.

Xiangshan County is south of Guangzhou, and everyone walks northward and towards Guangzhou City.

After walking for a long time, everyone walked out of the "sphere of influence" of Chiyun Peak, but suddenly they saw the ground rising up and carrying a pink sedan chair. Two maids walking along the left of the sedan chair. In addition to the two sedan chairmen in front, there were four servants holding wooden sticks in front guarding them. There was also a man who was a good martial arts master holding a bow and arrow to protect him. His rich and graceful posture was somewhat incompatible with the desolate early spring scenery all over the ground.

Qin Ning asked quickly: "Which lady from that family is going on a trip?"

Zhao Liangce said: "Nonsense, isn't that the servant of Mr. Xu's family?"

Qin Ning asked again: "It turns out to be the team of ladies from Xu Xianggong's family. No wonder they are so rich. What is the name of that lady?"

Zhao Liangce cursed: "Thief Donkey Ball, how could I know what the lady is called?"

Everyone laughed and was about to continue to rush north, but they saw the sedan chair walking across from the four people and suddenly stopped.

A maid said a few words to the lady Xu family on the window of the sedan chair, and then walked quickly towards Qin Zhao. When he walked to Qin Zhao, the maid told everyone a blessing and said loudly: "I dare to ask which one is Brother Qin Zhao, my lady invites you to go to the sedan chair and say a few words."

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and looked at Qin Zhao strangely with their eyes.

The old accountant asked, "How did Brother Zhao know Miss Xu?"

Seeing that everyone was curious, Qin Zhao said, "Miss Xu's school was held by Wu Xiucai before she was ten years old. We were studying in Wu Xiucai's private school. There was only a wooden door between the two schools. The girls' school was full of seven or eight-year-old girls, and the private school was full of eight or nine-year-old boys. When the Master was away, I would play with mud and throw sandbags and dig bird nests together, so I met."

The social atmosphere was open in the late Ming Dynasty, and it was also a fashion for wealthy families to send women to read and recognize words. Therefore, many scholars set up special girls to teach girls to read and learn words. Zhou Qingyuan's Ming Dynasty novel "The Second Collection of West Lake" records that the daughter Huang Xingchun reads and learns words in the girls' school set up by the old scholar Yan. Huang Xingchun was thirteen years old and was already written by poetry, songs and essays.

Xu Xianggong was a famous scholar in the seaside of Xiangshan County. He had fame and fame, that is, scholars, and was respected by the people as Xu Xianggong. His family had hundreds of acres of fertile land and had a high social status. However, Xu Xianggong was always open-minded and doting on his daughter, so it was not unexpected that he sent his six-year-old daughter to Wu Xiucai's female school to study for three years.

Qin Zhao was classmates with Miss Xu for three years.

This is still questioning Qin Zhao, and the lady Xu family over there has already lifted the curtain.

The curtain was so great that several men from Qinjia Village here were breathing.

The lady of the Xu family was wearing a silver silk bun and a gold-inlaid Ziying pendant, wearing a heavy flower lotus silk shirt on the upper body, and wearing a big red mandarin duck carved jacket on the outside.

She had a melon-shaped face, and her skin was as white as tofu. Her small nose was straight, and her eyes were big, long and slightly upturned. But because her face was a little fat and her cheeks were slightly raised, the upturned eyes did not make people feel charming.

This bright woman appeared on the official road, which immediately made the bleak February land extremely bright. The people in Qinjia Village only felt that the whole world was lit up, like a gorgeous halo on the body of Miss Xu.

Seeing such a beautiful lady, everyone looked at Qin Zhao again, and his eyes were a little sour. How could Qin Zhao have such a beautiful lady stop talking?

Qin Zhao hurriedly walked up and saluted Miss Xu's family by the curtain of the sedan chair.

The Xu family’s name is Xu Ming, but Qin Zhao couldn’t call him by his name, so he could only say, “Miss Xu family is safe.”

The people in the sedan laughed, as if they were mocking Qin Zhao for being pedantic. The last time they met was in the county town more than a year ago. Now, a year later, they are much more mature, so where is it still "got good"? But Qin Zhao honestly greeted him with this most unnutritious word, obviously he did not dare to go beyond the defense of men and women.
