Chapter 158 Introduction
Wang Shang did not tell his true thoughts, but just picked up the obvious reasons and told Jiao Niang: "But the people in the village can only talk and use moral pressure to Jiang Aning. ”
"If Jiang Anning has a soft personality and is easy to talk to, she will inevitably be manipulated."
"But look at her recent changes. How is she still as weak and easy to bully as before?"
Wang Shang sneered: "If it were in the past, I might not have to go to such trouble."
"As long as those people say a few more vile words, Jiang Anning will be unable to bear it anymore and collapse. She just wishes she could spend more money to stop their mouths."
Jiao Niang tasted his words carefully and felt that they did make sense.
Jiang Anning was indeed stupid in the past.
Obviously being bullied, obviously feeling aggrieved, but still gritting his teeth and swallowing the pain, and even giving money back, as if this way, he can occupy the moral high ground...
In fact, pathetically stupid.
Those people just want to gain benefits from her.
Secretly, everyone laughed at her for being stupid and easy to deceive.
In fact, from Jiao Niang's point of view, why bother with those rotten people?
No matter what you do, it will never be perfect. Even if you are really impeccable, these people will find fault with you and find fault with you for being too perfect.
If you care too much about other people's opinions, what's the difference between that and wearing a crotch cloth?
If you really can't stand it, just kill them all!
Unfortunately, it would be difficult for Jiang Anning to have such an idea.
The young lady sighed secretly.
"But Jiang Anning is a little different now."
Jiao Niang considered her words, looked at the person carefully, and then continued: "Since that day, with the help of Jiang Wei, Jiang Anning realized that she had been deceived and decisively sent Zhao Hai to prison. Her aura seemed to have changed.”
"Although I don't quite understand that feeling, I always feel that she seems to have changed."
Wang Shang said lightly: "That's why I said, if it were in the past, I would never have spent so much time."
"It's because Jiang Anning is so different from before..."
The delicate woman who used to dare not even kill a chicken now kills a person without mercy or panic.
His voice paused slightly. Thinking of Sheng Yue's murder, his eyes fell on Jiao Niang's face. He still didn't say the rest of the words. He just went straight to the topic and said: "In this case, I have to use more methods." Calculation.”
"If the people in the village want to benefit from Jiang Anning, they must first see the benefits."
"Otherwise, if Jiang Anning is bitten to death and has no money, how dare they break into someone's home, smash and rob him?"
Wang Shang sneered: "Maybe it was like this in the past..."
Now, there is a precedent of sending Zhao Hai and his whole family to prison, so they have to weigh it carefully.
"Since ancient times, people have died for money, and birds have died for food."
"If we want these selfish guys to fight against Jiang Anning at all costs and force her into a desperate situation, we must at least let these people see some benefits."
"The money I gave is just the introduction!"
Jiao Niang frowned slightly: "Introduction?"
She still couldn't understand it. What could this lead to?
"Since those people were afraid of avoiding Jiang Anning because of Zhao Hai before, they didn't dare to do anything too extreme, and they only dared to say a few quick words, don't they think that now they see those banknotes? Are you still afraid of what happened earlier when Jiang Anning reported to the police and sent Zhao Hai’s family to jail?”
The girl's brows furrowed deeper and deeper: "I really can't understand you..."
"Why not?"
Wang Shang sneered, as if to say, if you don't understand, it's because you are stupid.
"People die for money... If a person sees great benefits but only needs to give up some bottom lines, then he may not be able to let it go."
"But if a person sees 100% benefit, and he is asked to give up some bottom lines at this time, he will be shaken."
"If this person sees huge benefits, then you don't need to tell him anything about giving up his bottom line, and he will have no bottom line himself."
Wang Shang smiled: "Before I gave Jiang Anning the banknote, the people in the village could only think of asking her to pay the two hundred taels of silver that Jiang Wei promised to the two silkworm farmers. It was amazing and also Just say a little more on the two hundred taels of silver.”
"That's only three to five hundred taels worth of money."
Jiao Niang frowned: "How can you be so sure, since those people are so open-minded, they won't ask for more money, but just three to five hundred taels..."
"So little?"
Wang Shang couldn't help laughing: "You care about three to five hundred taels, but you call it such a small amount?"
Jiao Niang:......
Otherwise? Three to five hundred taels, isn't it just... the money for one or two meals?
When people like them go out, never do they carry a few thousand taels of banknotes in their pockets. They are too small and would feel cumbersome even if they are carried around, okay?
Let’s not even mention the miserable life we live in Jiang’an County today.
When I was in the capital, I packed a simple flower boat. The cost for this night was at least a thousand taels of silver, right?
Not to mention something a little better.
If you want to rent a boat on the entire river, it will cost more than tens of thousands taels.
However, she had only seen such grand scenes, such generosity, and such lavish spending without feeling any distress from the former Jiangning Weaver.
Unfortunately, it didn't take long before the person was beheaded.
If the former Jiangning weaver knew his fate from now on, I wonder if he would regret his extravagant spending that night.
Otherwise, at least I can leave some money for my wife, children and children at home.
You won't be down and out, you have to go back to your hometown and live in peace and quiet.
Jiao Niang smiled mockingly to herself, feeling that she was thinking a little too far.
Anyway, three to five hundred taels is nothing more than money.
It only costs one or two meals...
Wang Shang could see what the person was thinking at a glance and chuckled: "Do you know how much things can be bought by a farmer's family with three hundred taels of silver?"
The girl was slightly startled.
What can you buy with three hundred taels?
There was only one sheep and one pig. Kill them cleanly and take them to the restaurant and ask the store to prepare them and deliver them.
If you want to eat more elaborately, you may have to add a few more cold dishes, a few hot dishes, a few fruits, and a few snacks...
In this way, three hundred taels is completely insufficient.
It must be at least five hundred taels.
"Don't substitute the extravagance you have in the capital. Three hundred taels is enough for an ordinary family to spend three years comfortably, or even more."
"A dou of coarse rice is fifty cents, a liter of white flour is fifty cents, meat, eggs, fish and chicken, two hundred cents per day. Added together, it is only three hundred cents! It is enough to feed and drink the whole family.< br>
“This is even when there are many people in this family!”
"If there were fewer people, we wouldn't even spend three hundred coins."
"When marrying a wife among the people, you can usually spend only three to five taels to have a nice and decent wedding and banquet. If the sky is the limit, you can just give another three to five taels as a betrothal gift." "Not to mention, many None of them are given. Just two hundred kilograms of grain and a few feet of red cloth are enough to marry his daughter back. "
Jiao Niang’s eyes were filled with shock: “How is that possible?”
Three to five taels of silver are placed in the homes of wealthy people in the capital. Even if they go to follow the family members to write gift accounts, they can't get rid of them. It is shabby and embarrassing.
How is it possible to hold a decent wedding banquet?
Even Zhao Hai gave Jiang Anning twenty taels of betrothal silver...
When the girl thought about this, she suddenly paused.
Yes, Zhao Hai only gave Jiang Anning twenty taels of betrothal silver, which Zhang and others had saved over the years by defrauding Jiang Anning.
Even so, when Zhao Hai was able to offer twenty taels of silver as a betrothal gift, he was still envied by people from all over the country.
Twenty taels...
It seems that there are indeed a lot of people here.
Jiao Niang touched her nose and looked at Wang Shang with some embarrassment.
She is indeed not as careful as Wang Shang in observing the world's customs and customs.
Wang Shang saw that people had figured it out, so he said no more.
"But, according to you, since three to five hundred taels is already a lot, shouldn't they spare no effort?"
Why, it seems that there is no motivation after three or five hundred taels.
Thirty thousand taels, is enough to make people jump into it?
Hmm... Thirty thousand taels seems to be enough to drive people crazy.
However, looking at the thickness of those banknotes, Wang Shang just gave people a few thousand taels, right?
"Three to five hundred taels is a lot, and they are the ones who know the most!"
"The reason why I am so sure that they will only ask for three to five hundred taels from Jiang Anning is because, three to five hundred taels is enough for an ordinary farmer's family to live a prosperous life. The second reason is that this Three to five hundred taels is the maximum amount they can think of.”
"In other words, they don't even think that Jiang Anning can earn three to five hundred taels, which is equivalent to a huge amount of money for them."
"In their view, this is money that they may not be able to earn in their lifetime."
hiss!
Jiao Niang couldn't help but take a breath: "Is it so exaggerated?"
There's no way someone would be able to earn even one or two meals from her in their entire life, right?
How poor is that?
Can we still have hope after living like this?
Jiao Niang felt extremely uncomfortable just thinking about it.
Wang Shang laughed: "Exaggeration?"
"Ordinary farmers are busy from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, excluding the time for corvee service, and spend most of the year in the fields. The remaining income is only two or three taels of silver, and even the difference between the year and the year When there is only one or two left, it is already a blessing in misfortune, and it is worth burning incense and worshiping Buddha to restore it.”
Jiao Niang was so surprised that she couldn't open her mouth from ear to ear: "Huh? Then... why do they still farm? They can't go to the county town. If not, go to the town and open a shop or set up a stall or something. You can earn much more than working day and night with your back to the sky, right?”
She really couldn't understand it.
Life in Jiang'an County was boring. She just opened a few rouge shops, clothing stores, and cloth stores, and already made a lot of money.
The materials sent to her shop will be purchased at the lowest price from Beijing, Suzhou and Hangzhou, and other places. The most fashionable, exquisite and beautiful satin, as well as rouge and gouache, many of them are from nobles in the palace, and they are all on the job all year round. People comprador often sell out shortly after restocking.
Her water flow for half a day was more than five hundred taels.
Therefore, she really couldn't understand what these people in Jiangjia Village were thinking.
Aren't Sui Ran and his wife already setting up a stall and doing some small business?
And Jiang Anning...
How come these people don’t even know how to learn when there are ready-made examples in front of them?
Wang Shang was silent for a long time, and he actually didn't know why.
However, this is not important.
The important thing is: "Three to five hundred taels, in their view, is naturally a lot, but don't forget, it is different now than before."
"Before, it was just Zhao Hai's family sucking blood from Jiang Anning."
"No matter how much they are divided, the money still belongs to them."
"But it's different now."
"Zhao Hai and his family were sent to prison by Jiang Anning. Now those who can make things difficult for Jiang Anning are everyone in the village."
"Everyone wants to suck Jiang An Ning's blood, but they don't dare to do it alone. They can only huddle in a chaotic group."
"So we have to face a problem."
"That's the money, and it will be divided equally among everyone involved."
"How many households are there in Jiangjia Village?"
"At least there are hundreds of households."
"If one hundred families divide the three hundred taels of silver equally, how much money will each family have?"
"Three hundred taels is naturally a lot, and it is enough to make people jealous and give up their bottom line, but three hundred taels..."
"At least compared to three hundred taels, there is no way to satisfy these people's appetite with just three taels of silver!"
"What to do if you are not satisfied? Everyone wants to be greedy and greedy for more..."
"But in their minds, Jiang Anning can't come up with anything more."
"Then, at this moment, there was someone who suddenly made them see and know that Jiang Anning could not only give out so much, she could also give out more, more!"
"So, what do you think they will think?"
Jiao Niang nodded in understanding: "That's why you sent so much money to Jiang Anning on purpose, but..."
She still couldn't understand: "Even if you sent so much money to Jiang Anning, and it was indeed outside the gate, but no one saw it, didn't you still give it in vain?"
< br>
Jiao Niang was very sure that when they left, there was no one nearby.
The only ones who could know about this matter were Aunt Fang and Sui Ran.
Once upon a time, that Aunt Fang was really a big mouth.
Whatever happened or said, as long as it passed through her mouth, it would be spread with embarrassment.
It is no exaggeration to say that every village in the country knows about it.
But now...
This person is very close to Jiang Anning, and he must be biased towards Jiang Anning, so he will naturally be wary of what he says.
If something like this might bring trouble to Jiang Anning, she would definitely not go out to promote Hu Xi again.
So how can we spread this news to other people in the village?
"So, tomorrow, all I need to know is which temple or Taoist temple Jiang Anning will go to to burn incense and donate money for the sesame oil."
Wang Shang is confident: "Of course there will be Jiang Jiacun, or people who are related to Jiang Jiacun, who will meet Jiang Anning by chance. Then..."
One word spreads to ten, and ten spreads to hundreds. What words cannot be spread?
