Red flowers! Reward! Collection!
Zhao Zhen was worried that Tian Gong, Liang Jian, and Cui Rang would be brought into the family for questioning, but the problem still appeared.
Now it seemed that Tian Gong, Liang Jian, and Cui Rang had been captured, and their families were still in the dark.
Zhao Zhen did not want to hide the truth of the matter. He sighed and said,"Uncles, uncles, don't be anxious. Tonight, we have gathered the five families to discuss the rescue of Tian Gong, Liang Jian, and Cui Rang!”
Zhao Zhen skipped the cause of the matter and went straight to the point.
Cui Rang's father, Cui Hu, was the last to stand up and said,""After my son was taken away by the Tiger Wolf Soldiers of the North Manor, I planned to go to the North Manor to fight Wei Wei. However, the Tiger Wolf Soldiers massacred the South Manor and killed a few old men and women. I saw it with my own eyes and was worried that I wouldn't be able to come back alone to seek revenge, so I thought of a helper. Now that the five families have gathered together, we must save the child!”
Zhao Zhen was a little touched and bowed deeply to Cui Hu.""Father Cui said it well. We will definitely save Tian Gong, Liang Jian, and Cui Rang!”
As Zhao Zhen spoke, he pointed at the three children and a woman standing beside Cui Hu and said,"That's Mama Cui and…"
"She is my wife, Madam Cui!" Cui Hu interrupted Zhao Zhen and pointed at his son and daughter.""This is the second son Cui Lin and the third son Cui Ding. She's my daughter, Cui Yue 'er!"
Cui Lin was the kid who had been talking about eating meat and drooling. He was fourteen or fifteen years old, Cui Ding was eight or nine years old, and Cui Yue 'er was eleven or twelve years old.
Cui Yue 'er saw that her father had finished introducing her and called out,""Hello, Brother Zhao Zhen!" He gave a deep blessing.
Cui Yue 'er was well-behaved, beautiful, and cultured. Zhao Zhen thought," Cui Hu probably placed a lot of emphasis on family education.
Zhao Zhen counted a total of 24 people at the scene and laughed awkwardly."Now that we have 24 people, 20 catties of mutton might not be enough!”
"How much flour can Father Yang bring out?" Zhao Zhen asked as he looked at Yang Yin.”
Without waiting for Yang Yin to reply, Yang Hushi continued,""To be honest, my family can only take out one or two catties of white flour!”
Hearing Yang Hushi's words, Xu Wen's mother, Xu Dengshi, Tian Gong's mother, Tian Xiashi, Liang Jian's mother, Liang Zhengshi, and Cui Rang's mother, Cui Mashi, all frowned and whispered to each other, saying that it would be good if they had corn and beans at home!
Zhao Zhen knew that the floating tenant was so poor that he only had a pair of pants left, so he asked,"Is there anyone in Qingyang Village who sells white flour and runs a butcher shop?”
"Yes! Zheng Datou's family in the East Manor had a mill that specialized in grinding noodles for sale!”Eighth Liang stood up and said," A few days ago, I helped the Zheng family polish the spine beasts. They are the stone sheep and stone horses from the ancestral graves!"”
Eighth Liang sighed and said,""Big Head Zheng's family also has a butcher shop and a bank. He wants to compete with Wei Wei from the North Manor!”
Xu Zheng chuckled." Brother Liang is exaggerating. Wei Wei's father is Cai Jing. If Big Head Zheng dared to fight with him, he would have fallen on the backyard door and died!"”
"Brother Xu, you really don't understand Big Head Zheng!”Eighth Liang chuckled." Big Head Zheng's aunt is Empress Zheng. Cai Jing is one of the ten who dares to compete with Empress Zheng?"”
"This is the first time I've heard of this!”Xu Zheng raised his arm and said," If Head Zheng can fight with Fatty Wei, we floating tenant farmers can also take a breather!"”
"A dog biting a dog!" Zhao Zhen said happily. What the kid wanted to ask was, could Big Head Zheng's money house exchange silver?”
Eighth Liang was confused. He had never seen silver before, so he did not know what Zhao Zhen was talking about.
Yang Yin continued," Of course, any bank can exchange for silver. The bank can also mortgage things as money!" Why is Nephew Toto asking this?"
Zhao Zhen didn't answer Yang Yin's question. He ran into the courtyard and walked to the Ferghana horse that was tied to the manger and eating grass. He took out five silver ingots from the saddle of the horse.
Zhao Zhen took out five silver ingots and wanted to enter the cave dwelling in the guest room, but he felt that it was inappropriate, so he stood in front of the Red Hare Dragon Stallion and shouted,"Little Sister Zizi!"
When Yang Zi heard Zhao Zhen's shout, she ran up to him and asked,"Brother Yu is calling me!"
Zhao Zhen handed her four silver ingots and said,""Find a place to store the four silver ingots. I have a use for this one!”
Yang Zi was flabbergasted. She had seen silver before, but Zhao Zhen gave her so much at once. The 13-year-old girl was so excited that she did not know what to say.
Yang Zi was so happy that she almost threw herself into Zhao Zhen's arms and hugged him, but she couldn't do that. She said in her heart,"" Zizi did not misjudge me. I knew Brother Yu was mine the first time I saw him. Brother Yu is also very attentive to Zizi. If not, I wouldn't have dared to give so much silver to Zizi to keep for him…"
Zizi closed her eyes and thought for a while. She hugged the four silver ingots in her arms and said,"Brother Yu, don't worry. Zizi will definitely keep the silver well for you…"
Yang Zi carried the four silver ingots and ran into her bedroom cave. Only then did Zhao Zhen carry a silver ingot into the guest room cave.
When the people in the guest room's cave saw Zhao Zhen walk in with a silver ingot in his hand, those who recognized the silver ingot were all dumbfounded. Those who did not recognize it stared blankly, not knowing what he was going to do.
Zhao Zhen saw the burning gazes of the people and suddenly felt a heavy responsibility weighing on him. He walked to the middle of the cave and stopped."This is a silver ingot, a total of 20 taels, it can be exchanged for 20 strings of money!”
Eighth Liang stood up excitedly and said,"This old man has heard of silver, but I have never seen it before!”
As Eighth Liang spoke, he walked up to Zhao Zhen and touched him with his hand. He chuckled and said,"A smooth and cold hand is a good thing!"
As Eighth Liang spoke, he looked at Zhao Zhen from the corner of his eyes and said,"Nephew, how much do you think this shining object can be exchanged for?”
"20 strings! This is 20 taels of silver!" Zhao Zhen said bluntly," I plan to go to the East Manor to exchange my silver for copper coins. Five families will receive two strings each. The remaining money will be used to buy white flour, mutton, and other urgently needed things!”
The five families all held their breaths. Two strings of money was two to three years 'worth of income for these floating tenant farmers!
Floating tenant farmers rented the land of Wei Wei's family and rented the courtyard of Wei Wei's family. It would be a miracle if they could earn half a string of money in a year. Two strings of money was four to five years of income.
Zhao Zhen actually said that he would give each of the five families two strings of money. This was like a pie falling from the sky!
Zhao Zhen saw that the men, women, and children of the five families looked at each other in disbelief. He repeated what he had said before and said,"Duoduo has a suggestion. After tonight's reunion dinner, it's best if the five families go to Tokyo to start a small business. If they go to Tokyo, Duoduo will support each family with 10 strings of money. Their lives will definitely be better than those in Qingyang Village's South Village!”
"Brother Yu, didn't you teach us how to read?" Cui Yue 'er suddenly said. Would he still be able to read after he went to Tokyo?”
Zhao Zhen laughed loudly and looked at Cui Yue 'er.""Little sister Yue 'er, Tokyo is very big. If you go there, you might be able to go to school!”
After saying this, Zhao Zhen called out to Yang Yin,""Father Yang, arrange for the people here to start cooking the mutton. Duoduo, Little Sister Zizi, and Old Father Liang, go to the money house, noodle shop, and butcher shop of Zheng Datou in the East Village!”
When Yang Liang saw that Zhao Zhen wanted to go to the East Manor with Yang Zi but did not call him, he was already filled with anger.
"Brother Hongyi, why didn't you call Xu Wen and Yang Liang?" Xu Wen stood up and asked.”
"Big Brother Xu and Big Brother Yang are going to guide everyone in stewing mutton. You two won't be going!" Zhao Zhen laughed awkwardly.”
Zhao Zhen asked Eighth Liang if he knew how to ride a horse. "How can an old man like me know how to ride a horse?”
"This, we can't let Xu Zi go!”Xu Wen chuckled and said,"Old Man Liang doesn't know how to ride a horse.”
Zhao Zhen had wanted Eighth Liang to lead the way to the East Villa, but he didn't know how to ride a horse, and letting Yang Zi go was a kind of worry in Zhao Zhen's heart-reluctance.
The problem was that Yang Zi was a woman, so Zhao Zhen had to find an excuse. He said that Yang Zi had strong means, and if she met Wei Wei's servants on the road, she could fight ten of them alone.
Zhao Zhen's excuse of bringing Yang Zi along was sufficient, so he agreed to go with Xu Wen.
In this way, Yang Liang was left alone. Zhao Zhen recalled that he and Zizi rode on the same horse, while Xu Wen and Eighth Liang rode on the same horse. After buying the meat and noodles, they still had to carry them.
"Brother Yang, come with us!"”
Yang Liang had wanted to reject Zhao Zhen, but when he thought about how he would lose face if he rejected his sworn brother in front of so many people, and how he would be called narrow-minded by everyone, he agreed to rush to the East Manor with Zhao Zhen and Xu Wen…
