Raising the Demon

Chapter 105
"We won't sell this jade anymore!" Yan Laowu slapped the table, Zi Baifeng felt sorry for his own table.These jade merchants are really ruthless in bargaining. Even if they sell these jades, they can only get a hundred stones of grain...

There are about five tons of grain for one hundred shi. If you calculate it on the basis of one catty of grain per person per day—in fact, one catty of dry noodles is enough to feed a big-bellied man—there are 3000 people in Jiuyan Township, and your sister’s is only enough. Eat more a day!Even if you save it, you can only eat it for three days!
Not for sale!Resolutely do not sell!
In fact, of course it can't be calculated like this. It is not a big problem for the whole township to support ten days more with five tons of grain, but Zi Baifeng has such an uncompromising temperament.If he was willing to show the fairy jade to the bird and mouse at the beginning, those things would not have happened later, but is it possible?impossible.

If the price of jade is increased by eight or nine times, one month's worth of food can be bought at a time, which can basically solve the problem of the entire Xiayan Village.

Of course, he can't let him spend the jade money...

Anyway, all kinds of things cannot be generalized, and the most important thing is that Zi Baifeng is upset.

Taking advantage of the fire to rob, I really think I am a vegetarian!
We just can't get used to it, I really don't want to sell it anymore!
However, there are many things that Zi Baifeng doesn’t want to sell. The people in Xiayan Village are not in a hurry. Anyway, when they go to search for jade, they bring two rabbits, which is enough to eat for two days. Niaoshushan He is very close to the villagers of Xiayan. With his back on the mountains, it is not easy to be hungry. When the next spring begins, all things will grow, and there will be as much food as they want. Let these jade merchants eat shit!
However, not everyone is as restless as Xiayan Village.

On this day, Yan Laowu went to other villages to deliver food, but came back angrily.

"This Yan Dafu, I knew he was not a good guy!" After returning, Yan Lao Wu asked Zi Baifeng to pat the table again.

Before Zi Baifeng could speak, he began to talk like peas: "I don't feel sorry for my grandfather, these prodigal sons, the old ancestor left such a little family property, and they are so corrupt. In the future, under the nine springs, how can I Go see big brother!"

Zi Baifeng asked carefully, and only then did he know that they don't sell jade, and some people do.The patriarch of Yan Village, and now the patriarch of the entire Xiayan Village, Yan Dafu, planned to sell the jade stones at the bottom of the box that his ancestors had accumulated in exchange for money to buy food.

"I've known it for a long time, I've known it for a long time!" Yan Lao Wu walked around Zi Baifeng's study like an angry lion, saying these words back and forth.

Zi Baifeng disagreed, he had seen Yan Dafu before, when they planned to go to Bird and Mouse Temple, Yan Dafu plundered all the food in his family and asked them to take it as money, although Zi Baifeng and others After all, I didn't ask for these money, but I left an excellent impression on this person.

Zi Baifeng can probably understand their thoughts, and Yan Lao Wu can also understand them, so he came back angrily and didn't drag Yan Dafu to beat him up.

If possible, who wants to be the prodigal son in the eyes of their ancestors?It's just that there is no choice.

"Did they sell it?" Zi Baifeng asked Yan Laowu.

"Not yet, fortunately I went early, otherwise they would have opened the box!" Yan Laowu snorted angrily.

Now that everything has been stopped, what is Yan Lao Wu doing angrily?Yan Laowu snorted, and said: "This Yan Dafu has no prestige at all. The villagers in his village have already sold seven or eight pieces of jade sporadically. You said that we worked hard to drive away the evil ways of Bird and Mouse Temple. , to help them save jade, just to let them exchange five taels of silver? My mother wants to buy it with money!"

Pay to buy it?Zi Baifeng could only shake his head, the current working capital of Xiayan Village is less than a hundred taels of silver, and it has been accumulated over many days, and Zi Baifeng himself secretly subsidized some of it.He doesn't know how much Yan Laowu's family has, but there is no doubt that a large part of Yan Laowu's property should actually be jade, and there is no way to cash it out now.

More importantly, if someone grasps this, even if you plan to sell jade in the future, it will not be able to sell at a price.

Ordinary villagers don't know it, but Zi Baifeng knows the importance of jade. These people want to play empty-handed white wolves, so Nima has got into the eyes of money. Do you really think other people are fools?

"I'm going to meet these jade merchants." Zi Baifeng stood up and said, he didn't seem to give them any color, they really didn't know that Lord Ma had three eyes!

"I'll go too!" Yan Lao Wu said so much, in fact, to let Zi Baifeng make up his mind, now that Zi Baifeng is going to meet jade merchants, Yan Lao Wu will naturally follow.

Not only Yan Lao Wu is going, but also other villagers are going after hearing Zi Baifeng's plan.

Speaking of which, during this period of time, Xiayan Village was elated, and each of the villagers became proud. It was really not the style of the villagers of Xiayan to suffer from this kind of cowardice. They took longbows and machetes one by one, and it didn't look like they were negotiating. , on the contrary, it seems to be making trouble.

No need for Zi Baifeng to speak, Yan Lao Wu took these people away, Liu Lie and Li wanted to go, but Zi Baifeng didn't take them. In fact, if he didn't want to find someone familiar with the situation, Zi Baifeng would He really planned to go alone to meet these people for a while, and he would not get in the way by himself.

The koi cloud boat traveled hundreds of miles in a blink of an eye, Zi Baifeng came out from the pier on the moat on snow, and Yan Laowu walked aside to lead the way, and after a while, he pointed to the front and said: "Those jade merchants are now in Huji. over there."

Zi Baifeng raised his head, and sure enough, he saw a flag of "receiving jade" hanging beside Hu Ji in the past. Now there is no wind, the flag hangs feebly. In front of the flag, there is an old flatbed truck parked. A teenager shrunk his head and was taking a nap.

Seeing that person, Yan Laowu exploded with anger and shouted: "Yan Dafu!"

Just ran into Hu Ji.

The young man with his neck shrunk on the flatbed was taken aback. When he saw Yan Lao Wu rushing over, he thought it was for him, and almost peed his pants in fright: "Master Wu! Don't blame me, it's all my father's idea. !"

Who knew that Yan Lao Wu ignored him at all, turned around and rushed into Hu Ji, grabbed a man, and shouted angrily: "See if I don't beat you to death!"

Zi Baifeng followed up calmly, turned over and got off the donkey in front of Hu Ji, patted the startled boy on the shoulder, thrust the rein in his hand into his hand, and walked in with his hands behind his back.

On the counter, a wooden box similar to the one in Xiayan Village's ancestral hall has been moved out and placed on the counter. Yan Dafu is just opening the box, planning to take out the jade inside.

Once the box was opened, you could see the jade stones piled up inside. The jade stones in Yan Village were estimated to be a little less than those in Yan Village, so the box was a bit smaller, but there were more than a hundred jade stones inside.

"Yan Dafu!" Yan Laowu roared, making Yan Dafu tremble, and subconsciously closed the box. A middle-aged manager standing behind the counter was reaching into the box, and was suddenly stuck by the box. hand, let out a loud cry: "Howling!"

"Five...uncle five..." Seeing Yan Lao Wu coming in, Yan Dafu shuddered, turned around with a smirk, and said, "I...I'm just...just..."

There were four or five men standing beside them, all of whom were villagers from Yan Village. They all blushed when they saw Yan Lao Wu coming in. At first they wanted to sell jade, but they were scolded by Yan Lao Wu. As soon as Yan Laowu left, they left the village with the boxes on their backs.

"Uncle Wu, don't be angry." A skinny man with a smiling face stepped forward and said, "We can't help it, the things left by our ancestors are nothing compared to human lives..."

"Go away!" Seeing this person, Yan Lao Wu became furious, "It's you, a bastard, who fools your elder brother into selling jade all day long, so I won't beat you to death!"

Yan Lao Wu slapped the man over, turning the man around in a circle, and bumped his head on the counter, making a loud bang.

"Uncle Wu!" Seeing Yan Laowu beating someone, and even his younger brother, Yan Dafu couldn't sit still, "If you don't sell jade, what do you think we should do? Ergao is just out of kindness... "

"You...you..." Seeing that Yan Dafu also spoke for Yan Ergao, Yan Lao Wu was even more angry, "You have the face to see your ancestors when you get to the spring?"

"Can the ancestors eat it? Can the ancestors feed us?" Yan Ergao was helped up by several villagers, and he was still grinning there.

Yan Laowu saw that Yan Dafu was also stiff-necked, and felt that his heart was full of anger. The last time I tried to persuade him for so long, my emotional words fell on deaf ears!

Yan Lao Wu took a deep breath, suppressed his violent temper forcefully, and said, "Da Fu, do you remember what I told you? You are still young, you just became a clan elder, and you don't know how to be a clan elder. What do you think now? Life can't go on anymore. In fact, in the early years, the situation was much worse than this year. We old brothers came here with mutual support. You think you will starve to death without food now, let me tell you , In the Nine Villages of the Yan family, there is a person who died of starvation, and I, Yan Laowu, will accompany you! This jade cannot be sold. The box of jade left by our ancestors is not for us to sell, but for us. Ah! As long as I have this box of jade on my waist, I will have confidence in my heart at any time."

"It's easy for you to say. Your Xiayan Village is doing well now. You have money and food. Do you know our difficulties?" Yan Ergao over there was still blind, and several other villagers hurriedly pulled him away.

They were also struggling and hesitating in their hearts.

Sell.

Still not for sale.

Difficult to decide.

Zi Baifeng walked in, but stood by the side without speaking.

At this moment, he was still dressed in green, like a young student who came to see the fun.

He saw Yan Lao Wu was persuading Yan Dafu, but he just shook his head and didn't speak.

　Well, I always forgot to say that it will be on the shelves next Monday, but it will be released for free when it is on the shelves, so it is almost the same as before~
