"What kind of sage is this!" Luo Xin waved his hand and said, "You can't watch your neighbors starve to death." ”

Shopkeeper Song walked to a cabinet, opened the door, took out five hundred taels of silver and put it in front of Luo Xin and said:

"Master Luo, these two hundred taels are the remuneration paid to you for the two volumes, and the three hundred taels are the remuneration for the sixth to eighth volumes in advance."

Luo Xin's heart floated with a hint of emotion, he knew that this was the shopkeeper Song helping him, so he stood up and waved his head towards the shopkeeper Song:

"Thank you!"

Luo Xin did not stay long, he was in a hurry to return to Yanglin County, and in the evening, Luo Xin returned to Yanglin County. Entering Yanglin County, Luo Xin went straight to Lufu. Entering the Lu Mansion, he was just in time for Lu Tingfang's family to eat. With the relationship between Luo Xin and Lu Tingfang, naturally there is no need to be polite, sit down at the table and start eating. It wasn't until he followed Lu Tingfang into the study that Lu Tingfang asked:

"Xin'er, where have you gone, all in the dust!"

"Teacher, I have solved the problem of food shortage."

"Huh?" Lu Tingfang looked at Luo Xin curiously: "How did you solve it?" Tell the teacher about it. ”

Luo Xin told Lu Tingfang in detail what happened, and told Lu Tingfang his thoughts again, saving Lu Tingfang from being as angry with him as Zhou Zhixian.

Sure enough, when Lu Tingfang heard the first half, his face became ugly, and when he heard the explanation in the second half, his face softened. After sitting there and pondering for a while, his face completely softened, and he said with a hint of appreciation in his eyes:

"Xin'er, it's not easy to do this with your background and age. Originally, the teacher was still eight points worried about your future career, but now he is only six points worried. ”

Luo Xin's face was broken: "There are still six points!" ”

"Hehe......" Lu Tingfang couldn't help laughing: "You should never underestimate Yan Song and Xu Jie, the two of them...... It's all a generation. Whether it is a scholar or an official. Alas......"

Lu Tingfang sighed lightly, his eyes a little gloomy. Luo Xin didn't say anything, of course he knew that Yan Song and Xu Jie were not easy to mess with. And the teacher's evaluation of the two of them also made Luo's confidence sink. But only a few breaths have passed. Luo Xin couldn't help but laugh dumbly. He is still a white Ding now, how far away from Yan Song and Xu Jie, can he think too much now?

"Teacher!" After pressing this thought, Luo Xin remembered that there was another thing when he came to the teacher this time: "Now Shanglin Village has begun to have a food shortage, and there are also displaced people. Therefore, Uncle Zhang wanted to organize the villagers by putting grain by himself, but Uncle Zhang alone was not enough. You also have Zhuangzi in Shanglin Village, can you also help? ”

"There's no problem with this, tomorrow I'll send a few people to Shanglin Village to discuss this matter with Zhang Shu."

Luo Xin nodded happily and said, "Tomorrow the teacher will send me another ox cart, and I will also buy some grain back." ”

"Hmm!" Lu Tingfang nodded in agreement.

The next day.

The price of grain has risen, and Luo Xin spent 105 taels of silver to buy 2,000 catties of grain. And Lu Tingfang also sent someone to follow Luo Xin to Shanglin Village. There is no need for Lu Tingfang to buy grain, there are thousands of catties of grain in the Zhuangzi in Shanglin Village. This time, in addition to sending a housekeeper to follow Luo Xin back to Shanglin Village, Lu Tingfang also photographed four strong family members to escort him all the way, these four family members are all people with martial arts, riding horses, holding weapons in their hands, escorting Luo Xin all the way back to Luo Xin's house at noon.

Luo Xin drove the ox cart into his Zhuangzi, unloaded a thousand catties of grain, and then came to his grandfather's house to unload five hundred catties of grain, and finally drove the ox cart to Zhang Shu's house with the housekeeper of Lufu. handed over the 500 catties of grain to Zhang Shu for use in the village. Later, the housekeeper of the Lu Mansion also sent two thousand catties of grain. Zhang Shu was overjoyed, and the people of Shanglin Village were even more excited when they heard the news. There is more effort to protect the village.

There are more than 300 households in Shanglin Village. There are more than 80 people between the ages of 15 and 35. Moreover, Zhang Shu's family also has five nursing home members with martial arts, Zhang Shu's family also has three horses, Luo Xin's family now has two batches of horses, plus the four family members from Lu Fu have horses. Shanglin Village actually had nine horses to form a small cavalry.

The horse that Zhou Yu gave to Luo Xin was unceremoniously confiscated by his father, and in his words, it was a year of food shortage. Luo Xin's martial arts are not good, so it is better to ride him first. Luo Xin naturally couldn't refuse, but he still had nearly four hundred taels of silver on him now, and decided to go to the county seat to buy you another horse. But this matter is not in a hurry, wait a few more days, and then go to the county blacksmith shop to get your Guan knife back.

Luo Xin fell asleep for a day and a night, and then returned to his daily routine. Every day, I just took out an hour to write "The Biography of Shushan", which was all regarded as practicing calligraphy.

Five days later.

Luo Xin's family of four drove the ox cart to Yanglin County, these days Luo heard that Luo Xin bought a house in the county seat, and shouted every day to go to the county seat, so today the family of four went to the county seat to see their new home. There are Luo Ping's father and son, and they are not worried about encountering any robbers on the road, and they have not heard of any mobs nearby.

Near noon, Luo Xin's family entered the county seat, and the plan had already been thought out at home, and the family of four went straight to the grain store, and spent more than 50 taels of silver to buy 1,000 catties of grain, and then came to the new home in the county seat.

Luo Xin took out the key and opened the courtyard door, and when he drove the ox cart into the courtyard, Luo's face showed disappointment.

"This is the county house! This also ...... It's so broken! It's not as good as our Zhuangzi. ”

Luo Xin smiled and said: "Mother, if this house is not so dilapidated, one hundred and fifty taels of silver will not be able to buy it at all, this is still in the year of food shortage, if it is not for the current situation, even if this dilapidated house is one hundred and fifty taels, don't even think of buying it." We bought this house to prepare, and in the event of a riot by the homeless, we also have a place to hide. ”

"Don't listen to your mother's uninformed nagging, let's unload the grain first." Luo Ping said in a low voice.

Luo stopped talking, and the father and son quickly unloaded the grain into the house, and then Luo Ping and Luo Qing drove the ox cart out again. Roche went to pick three rooms to clean up and prepare to stay overnight today. Luo Xin wanted to help, but was pushed out by Luo, so Luo Xin walked to the lotus pond, walked along the Jiuqu Bridge to the Octagonal Pavilion, sat on a stool, and looked at the turquoise pool.

Before Luo Shi completely cleaned up the three rooms, Luo Ping and his son drove back with an ox cart, which was loaded with some jars, and after unloading the jars, the father and son drove the ox cart out again. It wasn't until Luo finished cleaning up the three rooms, went to buy some wine and food, and finished the meal, that Luo Ping and his son finished buying and set up a room of jars, as well as two bundles of oilcloth and two bundles of rope.
