I was killed by domestic violence, and I went crazy with barrage

Chapter 158 Introduction
Wang Shang did not say what he really thought. He just picked up some superficial reasons and told Jiao Niang, "But the villagers can only talk about it and put moral pressure on Jiang An Ning."

"If Jiang Anning had a soft personality and was easy to talk to, she would have been taken advantage of."

"But look at how she has changed recently. How can she still be as weak and easy to bully as before?"

Wang Shang sneered: "If it were in the past, I might not have to go through so much trouble."

"All it takes is a few more dirty words from those people, and Jiang Anning will collapse. She will just wish she could come up with more money to shut them up."

Jiao Niang pondered over his words and felt that they did make sense.

Jiang Anning was indeed a stupid person in the past.

They were clearly bullied and felt wronged, but they still gritted their teeth and swallowed the pain, and even paid money, as if this would allow them to occupy the moral high ground...

In fact, it's pathetically stupid.

Those people just wanted to gain benefits from her.

In private, everyone laughed at her stupidity and gullibility.

In fact, in Jiao Niang's opinion, why bother to get entangled with those bad people?

They have the final say, so no matter what you do, it will never be perfect. Even if you are truly impeccable, these people will still find fault with you and complain that you are too perfect.

Caring too much about what others think, what’s the difference between that and a loincloth?
If you really can't stand it, just kill them all!
Unfortunately, it would be difficult for Jiang Anning to come up with such an idea.

Jiao Niang sighed secretly.

"But Jiang Anning is very different now."

Jiao Niang carefully chose her words, looked at the man cautiously, and then continued: "Since that day, with the help of Jiang Wei, Jiang An Ning 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 become a different person."

Wang Shang said calmly, "That's why I said, if it were in the past, I would never have gone to such great lengths."

"It's because Jiang Anning is very different from before..."

The delicate woman who used to not even dare to kill a chicken, now kills a person without mercy and without panic.

He paused for a moment, thinking of Sheng Yuewen's murder. His eyes fell on Jiaoniang's face, but he didn't say the rest of the words. He just went straight to the point and said, "In this case, I will have to use more tricks."

"If the villagers want to gain benefits from Jiang Anning, they must first see the benefits."

"Otherwise, if Jiang Anning insisted that he had no money, would they dare to break into people's houses and smash and rob them?"

Wang Shang sneered: "Perhaps it was like this in the past..."

Now, there is a precedent of sending Zhao Hai and his entire family to jail, so they have to think twice.

“Since ancient times, people have died for money and birds have died for food.”

"If we want to stop these selfish guys from attacking Jiang Anning and forcing her into a desperate situation, we have to let them see some benefits."

"The money I gave was just the introduction!"

Jiao Niang frowned slightly: "Introduction?"

She still couldn't quite understand what this could lead to.
"Since those people avoided Jiang An Ning as much as possible because of Zhao Hai, and did not dare to do anything too extreme, and only dared to speak a few words to Jiang An Ning, now that they see those banknotes, will they no longer be afraid of Jiang An Ning reporting to the police and sending Zhao Hai and his family to jail?"

Jiao Niang'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 line, then he may not be able to let go.”

"But if a person sees a 100% profit and is asked to give up some bottom line, he will waver."

"If this person sees huge benefits, then you don't even need to tell him to give up his bottom line, he will have no bottom line."

Wang Shang smiled and said, "Before I gave Jiang An Ning the banknote, the villagers just thought about asking her to pay the two hundred taels of silver that Jiang Wei promised to the two silkworm farmers. It was a big deal, but they only said a little more about the two hundred taels of silver."

"That's only three to five hundred taels at most."

Jiao Niang frowned: "How can you be so sure? Since those people are asking for so much, they won't ask for more money, but just a little bit of three or five hundred taels..."

"Just this little?"

Wang Shang couldn't help laughing: "You care about three or five hundred taels, but you only ask for this little?"

Jiao Niang:......

What else? Three or five hundred taels, isn't that just... the money for one or two meals?

Whenever these people go out, they always carry silver bills worth several thousand taels with them. If they carry silver bills that are too small, they will feel like a burden, right?
Let’s not talk about the hard life we ​​are living in Jiang’an County now.

When I was in the capital before, even if I chartered a simple flower boat, the cost for one night would be at least one thousand and two taels of silver, right?

Not to mention anything better.

If you want to rent all the boats on the river, it will cost more than ten thousand taels.

However, she had only seen such a magnificent scene, such a lavish expenditure, and such a lavish spending without any regret in the former Jiangning Weaving Manufacturer.

Unfortunately, the man was beheaded not long after.

If the former Jiangning Weaving Master knew what would happen to him afterwards, I wonder if he would regret his extravagant spending that night.

Otherwise, at least some money can be left for the wife, children and the elderly at home.

At least you won't be so destitute that you have to go back to your hometown to live a miserable life.

Jiao Niang smiled self-deprecatingly, thinking that she was thinking too far ahead.

Anyway, three or five hundred taels is not a lot of money.

But it’s just the cost of one or two meals…

Wang Shang saw through people's thoughts at a glance and snorted and laughed: "Do you know how much you can buy with three hundred taels of silver from a farmer's house?"

Jiao Niang was slightly startled.

What can you buy with three hundred taels?
It's just a sheep or a pig, which we slaughtered and took to the restaurant and asked them to prepare it and send it to us.

If you want to eat more exquisitely, you may need to add a few cold dishes, a few hot dishes, some fruits, and a few snacks...

By this calculation, three hundred taels are totally not enough.

It has to be at least five hundred taels.

"Don't think about your extravagant life in the capital. Three hundred taels is enough for an ordinary family to live comfortably for three years, or even longer."

"A dou of coarse rice costs fifty coins, a liter of white flour costs fifty coins, and meat, eggs, fish, and chicken cost two hundred coins a day. Add it all together, and it's only three hundred coins! It's enough for a family to eat and drink.

"This is even though there are so many people in this family!"

"If there were fewer people, it wouldn't even cost 300 coins."

"In the common folk, marrying a wife usually costs only three or five taels to hold a very nice and respectable wedding banquet. At most, they would give another three or five taels of betrothal gifts." "Not to mention, many people don't give any. They only need to send two hundred kilograms of grain and a few feet of red cloth to marry someone's daughter."

Jiao Niang was shocked: "How is it possible?"

If you put three or five taels of silver in a wealthy family in the capital, you can't even give it as a gift bill. It's shabby and embarrassing.

How is it possible to host a decent wedding banquet?

Even Zhao Hai returned the twenty taels of betrothal silver to Jiang An Ning...

When Jiao Niang thought of this, she suddenly stopped.

Yes, Zhao Hai only gave Jiang An Ning twenty taels of silver as a betrothal gift, and even this was saved up by Zhang and others who had defrauded Jiang An Ning over the years.

Even so, when Zhao Hai was able to come up with twenty taels of silver as a betrothal gift, people from all over the surrounding villages were still envious and jealous.

Twenty taels...

It seems that there are indeed quite a lot of people here.

Jiao Niang touched her nose and looked at Wang Shang somewhat embarrassedly.

In terms of observation of social customs and folkways, she was indeed not as careful as Wang Shang.

Wang Shang saw that people had figured it out, so he said no more.

"But, according to you, three or five hundred taels is already a lot, shouldn't they spare no effort?"

It seems that three or five hundred taels are enough to make me lose motivation.

Thirty thousand taels is enough to make people rush in?
Hmm... thirty thousand taels, it seems that it is indeed enough to drive people crazy.

However, judging from the thickness of those silver notes, Wang Shang could have only given someone a few thousand taels at most, right?
"Three to five hundred taels is a lot, and it's more than people like them can understand!"

"The reason why I am so sure that they will only ask Jiang An Ning for three to five hundred taels is, firstly, because three to five hundred taels is enough for an ordinary farmer like you to live a prosperous life. Secondly, it is because these three to five hundred taels are the maximum amount they can think of within their cognition."

"In other words, they don't think that Jiang Anning can earn three or five hundred taels, which is equivalent to a huge sum of money for them."

"In their view, this is money that they may not be able to earn in their entire lifetime."

hiss!
Jiao Niang couldn't help but gasp: "Is it that exaggerated?"

There's no way that someone wouldn't be able to earn enough to buy her one or two meals in their entire life, right?
How poor must that be?

Is there still hope when living like this?
Just thinking about it made Jiao Niang feel uncomfortable all over.

Wang Shang snorted and laughed: "Exaggeration?"

"Ordinary farmers work from the beginning of the year to the end of the year. Excluding the time for corvée service, most of the year is spent on the fields. The remaining income is only two or three taels of silver. Even in bad years, if they can save one tael, it is a blessing in disguise and worth burning incense and praying to Buddha to make it back."

Jiao Niang was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth. "Ah? Then... why do they still want to farm? Can't they go to the county town? At worst, go to the town and open a store or a stall? They can earn much more than working day and night like this, right?"

She really couldn't understand.

Life in Jiang'an County was boring. She just casually opened a few rouge shops, clothing stores, and cloth stores, and she made a lot of money.

The materials sent to her shop would be purchased at the lowest price. The most fashionable, exquisite and beautiful satins, as well as rouge and powder, were purchased from the capital, Suzhou and Hangzhou. Many of them were from nobles in the palace, who often sent people to be her compradors all year round. Often, the stocks would be sold out not long after they were replenished.

Her turnover in 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 right in front of them?

Wang Shang was silent for a long time. He actually didn't know why.

However, this is not important.

The important thing is: "Three or five hundred taels, in their eyes, is naturally a lot, but don't forget that now is different from before."

"Before, it was just Zhao Hai's family, sucking blood from Jiang Anning."

"No matter how much we divide it, the money is still in their house."

“But now it’s different.”

"Zhao Hai and his family were sent to jail by Jiang Anning. Now, everyone in the village is in a position to make things difficult for Jiang Anning."

"Everyone wanted to suck Jiang Anning's blood, but they didn't dare to go alone, so they could only huddle together in a mess."

“So we have to face a problem.”

"That is, this money must be divided equally among all the people involved."

"How many households are there in Jiangjia Village?"

"There are at least a hundred households."

"If one hundred households were to divide the three hundred taels of silver equally, how much money would each household get?"

"Three hundred taels is certainly a lot, and it's enough to make people jealous and give up their bottom line, but three taels..."

"At least compared to three hundred taels, a mere three taels of silver is totally incapable of satisfying these people's appetites!"

"What if I can't get satisfaction? Everyone wants more and more..."

"But in their opinion, Jiang Anning can't give more."

"Then, at this time, someone suddenly appeared and made them see and know that Jiang Anning could not only give out so much, but she could also give out even more, much more!"

"So, what do you think they will think?"

Jiao Niang nodded, not quite understanding: "So, you deliberately gave Jiang An Ning so much money, but..."

She still couldn't understand: "Even if you gave Jiang An Ning so much money, it was indeed outside the gate, but no one saw it. Isn't it still a waste of money?"

Jiao Niang was very sure that there was no one nearby when they left.

The only people who knew about this were Aunt Fang and Sui Ran.

In the past, Aunt Fang was indeed a big mouth.

Anything, any words, once they pass through her mouth, will be spread with exaggeration.

It is no exaggeration to say that people in the surrounding villages know most of it.

But now...

This person is very close to Jiang Anning, so he is bound to be biased towards Jiang Anning and will naturally be cautious when speaking.

If something like this might bring trouble to Jiang An Ning, she would definitely not go out and spread nonsense again.

How can we spread this news to other people in the village?
"So, tomorrow, all we need to know is which temple or Taoist temple Jiang Anning will go to to burn incense and donate money."

Wang Shang was full of confidence: "By then, there will naturally be people from Jiangjia Village, or people who have relatives in Jiangjia Village, who will encounter Jiang Anning by chance. Then..."

If word spreads from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred, what word can’t be spread?
