Chapter 0017 Selling Fields

Hurriedly having dinner in the shop, I spent twice as much money and hired a ox cart to go back. In the dark night, the ox cart didn't stop at all and headed straight to Yejiazhuang.

Ye Qing lay on the ox cart, looking up at the stars in the sky.

This is truly a clear night, with the entire sky covered in dark blue. On this sky, there is a common kingdom of immortals and gods.

As she was thinking about it, Qianqian tugged at Ye Qingyi's collar and said, "Young master, we're almost at Ye's mansion

At night, Ye Qing couldn't see her face clearly in the dark. It must have been at this moment that she remembered to kill someone and felt a little scared. After a moment of contemplation, she said, "Don't be afraid, it's okay

Encouraged, Qianqian's heart calmed down a bit.

This young master, we have arrived at Yejiazhuang. The road ahead is Yejiadao, and we dare not go there, "the carriage driver suddenly said.

Ye Qing saw some torches slowly patrolling, with the appearance of five or six torches, which were the inspection team of the tribe members.

Go ahead, you won't be able to find a room in the middle of the night. You can stay in our courtyard room for one night and get food

The coachman hesitated for a moment, but still responded and walked over.

After a moment, the inspection team could be faintly seen under the starlight. The torches had been doused with oil and were burning with a crackling sound. Although they were not wearing armor, they were all carrying long knives and looked very fierce.

The coachman trembled slightly as he approached and entered the Zhuangzi at night. He was either a thief or a thief, and even if he was killed, there was no place to plead for justice. However, at this moment, the ox cart passed by, and the leader was a middle-aged man with a flash of his eyes and no sound.

The ox cart passed over cleanly without any questioning, and after waiting for ten yards, Ye Qing also breathed a sigh of relief in secret, showing a hint of a smile.

Don't fire, just use some of the cakes you brought back. We'll talk about anything tomorrow, "Ye Qing said to Qianqian as she smoothly returned to the courtyard." Just give the cart driver five cakes

Qianqian responded, there's nothing to say for the next night, let's go rest separately.

The next day, when Ye Qing woke up, it was early morning, far away from the main courtyard of Gao Da, covering some grass clouds. The sun shone on the window, separated by the window paper, and the light was somewhat dim, appearing particularly quiet. Qianqian paid to send the cart driver away, but they could hear it clearly.

After a moment, Qianqian returned with a worried expression and entered the room. She bit her lip and said in a small voice, "Young master, we have almost used up all the money in our family for this exam. I just went to ask the clan, but they said we haven't received the autumn grain yet. Young master has already lost fifty taels under his name and can't overdraw the monthly quota anymore

Well, then sell it

Don't worry, young master. They didn't say they wouldn't give it, they just wanted to take a few days off. We'll figure out a way to get through these days... "Qianqian gestured with her fingers, her face furrowed into a ball, and suddenly regained her composure." Young master, what did you just say you wanted to sell

Ye Qing sat steadily, closed his eyes to rest and said, "I mean sell the field

Young master! "Qianqian stared at Ye Qing with the same eyes as a spendthrift. If it weren't for the trust established these days, she would have almost jumped up.

In the agricultural era, selling farmland was the last resort when there was no other way out. Farmers without farmland were refugees and lost their status as good family members!

This is not only a wealth, but also a symbol of social status and family continuity.

Of course, Ye Qing hasn't been so miserable yet, but if she loses her land for a long time, it will gradually fall apart.

Qianqian can rest assured in this courtyard, as Ye Qing owns over a hundred acres of farmland under her name. As long as she reaches adulthood, she can take it back.

Qianqian, don't get too excited. I have a reason, "Ye Qing sat up straight and chuckled to herself." Over the years, it's been you who've been worrying about household expenses, and I've been keeping an eye on it

Originally, this matter could have been discussed and agreed upon, but I publicly killed someone for the sake of this child test. Wu Tiezi himself is not a big deal, but how do thousands of clan members and their children view him? I'm afraid it's just a rabbit dying and a fox grieving, offending many people. A reputation for being cruel and ungrateful is inevitable

If I can become a child this time, I won't be able to sell this field. I'm afraid the clan will have to appease me. If I can't become a child, it will be difficult for the clan to move forward and won't be publicly humiliated. Can't I cause you trouble? With the field, there will be many things to deal with the clan in the future. Can I make you compromise and swallow your pride every time

Over the years, you have suffered a lot, and I truly don't want my Qianqian to be so wronged

Upon hearing these words, Qianqian bit her lower lip without saying a word. She felt a surge of sourness and warmth in her heart, and the grievances and sorrows she had accumulated for three years had melted away. Her eyes immediately turned red, but she held on and didn't shed tears. "Young master, don't do this... Qianqian, it's nothing for me to suffer some grievances. As long as young master can pass the entrance examination for a child

At this point, I couldn't bear it anymore, tears welled up in my eyes.

Ye Qing didn't say a word, just reached out and pulled, then she fell into her arms, sobbing. After waiting for a moment, she saw that she had calmed down before saying, "I have confidence that I am a young student. In the future, I will become a scholar and go to the state to pass the imperial examination. This matter of selling farmland is just an attitude. We can consider the overall situation, and our clan won't mind

At this point, Ye Qing suddenly remembered his past life, when a great tribulation came, the heavens and earth were in turmoil, countries were fighting, monks were in chaos, production order was completely destroyed, and fields had become the least valuable thing. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

If I don't win, I'm afraid I won't be able to stay in the clan. I'm not a big deal myself, I'm always a member of the Ye clan, but I have to consider your safety. I'd rather split up and go out, cultivate and study to pass on the family

Qianqian opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but couldn't say it.

Hand and foot toil, men plow and women weave, can't we feed ourselves? "Ye Qing said, adding to her voice as she spoke of us.

In reality, it's really impossible to feed them. He knows better than anyone the risk resistance ability of small-scale farming economy, and when a disaster strikes, no one can stay out of it, but Qianqian doesn't know.

Don't provoke me, "Qianqian entered the inner room and heard the banging sounds of rummaging through and unlocking. In a moment, she was filled with anger and held the land deed in her hand.

The file turned slightly yellow, with rows of black letters printed with the official seal of vermilion, and also bearing the signatures of Ye Qing's father and himself.

Just listen to Qianqian's reminder: "Although the young master has this property, according to the rules of the Ye family, when selling it, he must first inform the clan. The clan will give priority to allocation, and if someone wants to buy it, he cannot sell it to outsiders... You need to be careful about this

I'll keep an eye out, hey, don't worry, it's okay

You are the master, what else can I say? "Qianqian sighed.

Ye Qing carefully looked at the land deed and said, "The land is divided into upper, middle, and lower parts. This hundred acres is at least medium land. According to the market price, one acre is worth nine taels of silver. If you sell it all, you can still get 1500 taels of silver

Thinking of this, Ye Qing has already made up her mind. In this article, she is extremely confident. If she doesn't succeed, her luck will be low, and the attitude of the tribe will be very clear.

The great calamity is approaching, and Ye Qing has no intention of playing by the rules with these people. With 1500 taels of silver, a few years of life will not be a problem, just go and find opportunities.

The incident of the Mountain God Bronze Cup, although rare, is not without its presence, at least there are still two or three things in my memory.

Only those who are wise above and foolish below can truly follow the Tao, ignoring the opinions of others and taking what is needed directly.

Thinking of this, Ye Qing no longer hesitated and left the house holding the land deed.

Qianqian silently leaned against the door, her eyes turning, clearly feeling a bit down. Even if she spoke well, losing this field was a big deal for her.

As soon as Ye Qing entered, he saw several people drinking in a private room, each with a red face and ears.

So it's Young Master Qing - "one of the people took a glance and burped," Are you here to borrow money and rice? Sorry, the autumn grain hasn't been collected yet. Young Master Qing, you have already lost fifty taels under your name. You can't overdraw the monthly quota anymore, don't make things difficult for me -

Ye Qing remained motionless, turned around, and stepped into a room.

This is an elegant room with walls covered in mulberry paper. Inside, there is a stack of bookshelves that look very refined, but the books on the bookshelves are not books, but books of account books.

An old man was playing chess with a young man when he saw Ye Qing come in without looking up.

Ye Qing bowed slightly without disturbing.

The person in charge of the land in this clan is an elder, Ye Hui, who is of the same generation as Ye Qing's father, one round older, and holds some status in charge of the clan's land.

Until the end of a game of chess, Ye Hui slowly spoke up: "Why didn't you study the scriptures at home and fulfill your father's wish? Why did you come to me

Ye Hui spoke impolitely, withdrew the chessboard from his hand, asked the boy to go out, knocked on the stool again, and asked Ye Qing to sit down and speak: "Did you come to me again to borrow money after spending about the money and rice? This was supposed to be a small matter, but now it's different

I said to you, you're too impulsive. You're just going to take the exam, how could you kill Wu Tiezi? Even as a master servant, this is too much. Do you know how big a storm this is? Now, the child (servant) in the family doesn't see you as a enemy and makes things difficult for you everywhere

Although the power is in the hands of our Ye tribe, the autumn harvest, transportation, meals, inventory, and so on are all handled by our children. If they unite to make things difficult for you, it will be difficult for the tribe to speak up

After nagging for a long time, although there was scolding, there was a hint of care inside.

Ye Qing's heart warmed for a moment, and after a long silence, she said, "Uncle Wu, it's been a long time since anyone looked at you. It was my nephew's rudeness, but you look good and your bones are even stronger than before

But I didn't come here for this matter. My nephew finished his science exam yesterday and returned home today, only to find that he didn't have much money. Even seven days were not enough to make ends meet, and the clan refused to borrow money

Speaking of which, Ye Qing sat with his hands on his knees and paused for a moment. Ye Hui looked at Ye Qing and didn't understand. Isn't this just calling for poverty and seeking help from the clan? Why isn't it just this matter?

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard the young man calmly say in front of me, "There are rules and difficulties in our tribe. How can I not understand? I came here this time to sell my own hundred acres of land first. I'm sure there will be a thousand taels of silver, and it won't be a problem to spend ten years. If I get my credit, I'll save up money and buy it back

What? "Ye Hui thought for a moment, but he didn't expect to hear this sentence. He was shocked and stood up, even hitting the cup in his hand on the table, splashing half of the table with tea!
