Zhao Qing stood up at this time and said loudly.
Seeing that Li was talking, the three elders looked at it one after another. Although they are ethnic elders, Li Zheng is the person in charge of the village after all, and the real power is greater than them.
"Two hundred Wen? That won't work. This is to send beggars?"
Yang was the first to object.
She knows very well that the jelly business used to earn 200 Wen copper a day.
As for Liu Jin's cold dish business, her daily income is more than 200 Wen.
Would she be willing to take only 200 Wen a month?
"Don't worry, aunt Yang. Listen to me." Zhao Qing seemed to have expected Yang's opposition early in the morning and stopped her. "The most capable people in this village will earn one or two silver if they work in the city for a month."
Everyone nodded. Many people didn't work in the city. They didn't have any money on hand.
"One or two silver, you have to leave half for your own life? Firewood, rice, oil and salt, which doesn't want money?" Zhao Qing then said, "now that you're working in the city, what about the work in the field? You can't ask the villagers for help? You can't spend some money on dinner?"
The crowd nodded and felt that there was some truth.
Yang wanted to interrupt, but Lao Liu pulled her sleeve and motioned her not to interrupt.
"During the new year's festival, you have to give gifts, visit relatives, marry a daughter-in-law, and give money. It also costs a lot of money." Sentence by sentence, Zhao Qing seems to be calculating life for ordinary people.
"Also, we work hard to figure out what? It's not like to have children when we are old and a coffin when we die?"
When Zhao Qing said this, people in the ancestral hall nodded one after another and agreed with what Li Zheng was saying.
"Well, uncle, I think it's a lot for the eldest brother to give you two hundred Wen a month. I'm afraid Gensheng brother couldn't earn a silver or two a month."
In the past, Liu Gensheng was a farmer. Sometimes he did some carpentry work and couldn't earn much money.
Old Liu tou and Yang's quilt were talking so well that they couldn't refute a word.
Finally, Miao jumped out.
"Now she is doing business in the city and can earn two or three hundred Wen a day. It's too cheap for her!"
Yang also immediately said, "yes, two hundred Wen copper coins are too small. She can give one or two silver."
"Funny, it's my business how much I can earn. Otherwise, you two come to our house and give us one or two silver a month."
Facing the insatiable greed of Yang and Miao, Liu Jin directly treated them in their own way, leaving Yang and Miao speechless.
Give one or two silver a month, which is not the amount Liu Gensheng and Miao are willing to pay.
What's more, Lao Liu has to take care of the land. Otherwise, how can Liu Gensheng go to the city to do business?
It's not easy to do business in the city. They have received filial piety fees twice for a small stall.
"That can't be just 200 Wen copper coins. It's more."
Miao immediately changed her mouth. Now the second old man can help them, so she won't give up the second old man.
Yang nodded and felt that two hundred Wen copper coins were too little.
"This is the number I gave according to the most capable people in the village. There is no man in this big house. It's reasonable to give 100 Wen copper money. Don't forget how you separated your family."
Zhao Qing had long been dissatisfied with Yang. At this time, he resolutely defended Liu Jin and spoke completely on Liu Jin's side.
Anyway, he was also invited by Liu Jin!
"You Li Zheng, how can you say good things for her? What benefits have you received from her?"
Yang said, but immediately accused Zhao Qing.
Zhao Qing's face sank immediately when he heard the speech.
"Since you say I'm unfair, come and take them to me. Let's go to the Yamen in the city."
If you can't deal with the disputes in the countryside, you have to report to the Yamen in the city and let the county magistrate deal with them.
Many times, Li is dealing with the Yamen in the county. After all, which village doesn't have some thieves?
When Yang heard this, he panicked.
Going to court is something that has never happened before.
Old Liu was also worried and immediately scolded, "everything has your mother-in-law's nonsense."
In turn, he accompanied a smiling face and said to Zhao Qing, "Li Zheng, don't tell this woman the same thing. She's just angry."
The three elders didn't dare to make things big. They quickly persuaded Zhao Qing not to get angry.
Zhao Qing snorted coldly, "it's because I want to see her. She's too ignorant. I've calculated her income according to the most capable man in the village. I'm not satisfied. If you have the ability, you can give birth to a daughter as smart as jin'er, who can do business in the city at a young age."
Zhao Qing said the last sentence, then sat down on one side of the stool, picked up the tea cup and drank water.
Yang dared not speak any more, but the onlookers were happy. Both of them booed and asked Lao Liu tou and Yang Shi to have another daughter. Maybe they could be as capable as Liu Jin.
Yang was so angry that he blushed and couldn't say a word.
At this time, the leader of the clan said, "I think that's it. The big house is better now. At the end of each month, he will give the second old man 200 Wen copper coins. If the second old man has any diseases, he will worry about them separately. Yang, you are not allowed to make trouble at the big house in the future, which will make the whole village restless."
Liu Jin stood up at this time, "what if their two elders pretended to be ill and cheated us of silver?"
"Well, naturally, you have to have a doctor's prescription to be true."
An old man replied immediately.
Liu Jin heard the speech and immediately let doctor Qian waiting outside in to feel the pulse for old Liu tou.
After doctor Qian came in, he looked at Lao Liu's head for a while, shook his head and said, "brother Liu is very healthy. There is nothing wrong."
"I don't know who the three clan elders are. They say my grandfather is ill and he wants my mother to go back to serve him? Such fraud really doesn't pay attention to you three clan elders. I'm afraid you'll have to deal with a lot of trouble in the future."
Liu Jin finished and looked at Lao Liu's head.
Old Liu head quickly lowered his head. Since doctor Qian came in, he knew he couldn't fit it.
The three elders looked at old man Liu with some dissatisfaction in their eyes.
"I think there's nothing wrong with them this year. She can go into the city to do business, and he can take on the work in the field, which helps my second uncle earn a lot of money. I don't think we need our big house to help?"
Liu Jin looked at the three elders and asked.
The three elders frowned and looked at Lao Liu tou and Yang Shi.
Old Liu tou and Yang Shi are really hard to refute, because everyone in the village can watch their every move.
