Chapter 143 Purchasing and snooping for information!
Everyone has seen the difference between a stone house and a clay house. No one in the Shen family wants to move out!
"Mother, why don't you let me go talk to Lan Xi." Shen Conglian muttered in a low voice.
"What did you say? Let her bury her eldest brother in the soil again." Shen Congli curled his lips. He kept thinking that his niece was cruel, but he did not dare to say it out loud.
"Mother, let me tell you!" Shen Congyi not only didn't want to leave, but also wanted to buy another stone house. How could he live with so many people crowded in the same yard!
Shen Congwen lowered his head and said nothing. No one knew what he was thinking.
"If the eldest brother doesn't want to go, it's okay to ask Yuan Jing to discuss it with Lan Xi!" Yuan Jing goes to Lan Xi's place for dinner from time to time, and he must treat her eldest brother differently.
Mrs. Shen couldn't help but sigh again as she looked at her dejected children and grandchildren.
No one is successful. She is already so old and she has to be pushed out to find a future for her children and grandchildren!
"I still have some money here, all of which Yuan Jing earned!" Mrs. Shen took out a bag of silver.
One ingot after another is placed on the table, a total of eighty taels!
“The 8 taels and 15 taels we looked at earlier are very good yards. Go and buy them. Second, third, and fourth, you guys will draw lots and move in there!”
The three brothers Shen Conglian looked a little bad.
"Mom, it turns out that you live with our brothers. We are not separated. We have to live together as a family and help each other!" Shen Congyi was the first to object.
Mrs. Shen said calmly: "We should be supported by the big family. If you want to separate the family and all the money is here, then separate the family!"
Shen Conglian and the other three When the old lady said this, her expression suddenly changed.
Any fool can see that the big house is now profitable, and they can still make an excuse to divide some of it without dividing the house. After the house is divided, they will get nothing.
Besides, what is this little money enough for? Divide it into several portions, and you will definitely not be able to celebrate the New Year!
"We will not separate our families when our parents are together. This is what we agreed before!" Shen Congli said dullly.
Shen Conglian stood up and took the money: "There are so many exiles behind us, and we don't know if they will be distributed here. Now that I have bought a house, maybe the price will be cheaper!"< br>
These words gave people who were originally wavering a feeling of reassurance.
But when they think about being unable to live in such a nice stone house and having to live in a thatched house, they feel very sad!
Coming out of the stone house, Ms. Liu immediately curled her lips and said, "Can't mother lower her dignity and go find Lan Xi?"
Shen Conglian said angrily: "She doesn't even care about my eldest brother. If you dare to bury her, what else can you dare not do? If you really make her anxious and leave her alone, let’s see if you will still complain about this!”
“Lan Xi was very gentle before. How could she become such a filial person? "
"Keep your voice down, and think about those people on the road to exile every time you speak." Shen Conglian warned.
Liu curled her lips and said nothing.
"Let Yuan Kun, Yuan Xu and the others walk around more with Yuan Jing. I think Lan Xi is cruel to my eldest brother and his aunts, but is also very good to the children!" Shen Conglian thought of every time The children brought back pastries when they came back from martial arts practice, as well as the things they had to bring back, so they couldn't help but remind Ms. Liu a few more times.
"Have you hidden the money and things that Yuan Kun, Yuan Xu and the others brought back?"
Ms. Liu quickly looked around: "The smaller ones."
Seeing Mrs. Liu like this, Shen Conglian felt confident again.
“It’s not like we can’t afford a stone house ourselves. Now that the old lady is willing to pay, we’ll spend it. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with a thatched house. Don’t everyone live here? We’d better choose that place. The yard is fine, I will hide in the house to eat and drink without anyone seeing me!" Shen Conglian became more and more happy as he thought about it.
Ms. Liu also thinks so. It’s nice to have a house to live in without them having to spend any money!
When buying a house, the three brothers discussed it again and decided to buy one close to the stone house, so that it would be closer to the family and take care of things easily!
After a busy afternoon, everyone fell asleep. Continue shopping the next morning!
Liu Yanhui took the opportunity to go shopping with Zhang Liao in the county town.
Wei Dongzhu was injured at a critical moment and could not let the wind blow, so his men went out to buy charcoal to help him. The women of Liu Zhao Village and the students of Qinglan Academy sent half of them out to buy.
Some people stayed at home to repair and strengthen the roof, clean and go out to exchange things with the people in the military camp.
Exchanging things is the second step, the main thing is to get information.
Shen Lanxi took Chunxue and Qiu Shuang around for a while.
Hongliutun has been particularly lively these two days because of their arrival.
The women came together three or three times, not leaving them alone.
“They don’t look like exiled prisoners!”
“Neither do they look like them to me!”
“When Wang Er’s family came here before, they didn’t even look like them! They are humanoid!"
"I think they are officials! Maybe they offended someone and were demoted here."
"How can you tell?"
Knock, knock, knock on the door
“Who is it?”
Liu Taoye Lanhua said with a smile: "I heard that your family raises the most chickens and ducks. Can I exchange grain for some?"
The women talking in the room look at me and I look at you.
In exchange for food? How to change? It’s not okay to give less!
"Come in, come in, it's very cold outside, come in and tell me!"
The women of Hongliutun enthusiastically invited the two of them in and did not leave until it was time to cook at noon.
At noon, Zhang Liao and his people bought the grain back, and everyone in Hongliutun shouted happily.
On the way, Liu Yanhui had already asked.
"Brother Zhang, there is a lot of land here in Dongchuan. There should be no shortage of food. Why are you still buying food?"
Zhang Liao answered helplessly: "A year of hard work is all for his mother. The little we have left is not enough to feed the family for two months. If we hadn’t gone to the mountains to hunt for food, we wouldn’t have been able to survive the winter!”
This is the helplessness of the soldiers. You have to hand over most of them, give the order, and kill the enemy from the front!
...
"If you want to be full, please keep your mouths shut and don't spread the word!" Zhang Liao kept telling him when he was distributing food.
Liu Yan went back to report with the good tea she bought.
"Zhang Liao had a centurion named Cao Lianwang who was ruthless and did not care about the life and death of the soldiers. According to regulations, each military household had to pay 600 kilograms of grain. He collected an additional 200 kilograms. The garrison soldiers had no choice but to reclaim more land. When Cao Lianwang heard about this, he immediately confiscated all the food grown on the reclaimed land. "
So these garrison soldiers went out to buy food secretly. , share it secretly, eat it secretly!
Shen Lanxi heard something different!
"How did the matter of land reclamation reach Cao Lianwang's ears?"
Liu Yanhui's eyes lit up and she suddenly said a few words to Shen Lanxi.
"Go ahead, once this is done, we will be able to do things conveniently in the military camp in the future!"
