Wang Siliu is also helpless, his small money worth a half ox leg, in addition to putting it on other people's capital to collect small profits, what else can he do with the money and guarantee the investment method?

Since Wang Siliu was a child, he often saw that those who could not afford to borrow money were tossed by usurers, and the family cried and cried, looking for death and hanging, or dragging children and daughters out of the house.

To be honest, Wang Siliu's heart is very unbearable, and now there are his shares in the capital of the loan shark, and he is also taking the opportunity to eat people.

But as soon as he thought of his big bull, he immediately lowered his heart, thinking that people have no windfall and no wealth, and forced himself to become at ease, at most he went to the temple to burn a few more pillars of incense during the New Year's Festival, and accumulated some yin virtue.

In the evening, Xu Hao came back with a tired body, and the two were still squatting at the door smoking a leaf cigarette, and when they swallowed the clouds and spitted out the fog, Xu Hao asked, "How is the house?" Do you need a hand? ”

"Third master, don't worry, the small one is good." Wang Siliu said euphemistically, naturally he didn't dare to tell the truth.

Xu Hao believed his words, because he had observed Wang Siliu's field, and he was inspired by the law of protecting a field to plant corn, and it was promoted in the neighborhood, plus potatoes, sweet potatoes, peanuts, etc., Jinling was the most poor and could not starve to death, of course, even if the grains were not harvested, the emperor's feet would be fine, but he could always give precious grain to other places.

With this one thing, it is not too much to reward Comrade Wang with two cows, but he has a temperament that does not ask for help.

Wang Siliu is in a good mood, the disaster year is stunned by him to turn the crisis into safety, difficulties are also opportunities, thinking about this year, after the income and expenditure are offset, the hard-earned money earned by sweat and the windfall obtained by usury are added together, not only will not collapse like some farmers, but more than in previous years.

Thinking beautifully while smoking. It's not far from buying a big bull for silver, it's really lucky!

For several days in a row, he went to the bull market almost every day, and when he went to the street, he couldn't go anywhere else, but he walked around the cow dam, watching people buy and sell cattle, and when he was rich, his waist was straight, and he dared to follow the broker to look at the teeth of the cattle and talk about the price. While thinking about how much silver was missing.

The Chinese people were familiar with him, and on this day, an agent asked, "How is it?" Your brother has been here for a while, and he has a spectrum in his heart, so he has to buy cattle this year, right? ”

Wang Siliu waved his hand as always and said, "No, no, I'll just take a look, just take a look." "It's customary to walk away, but you don't move your feet.

Another agent approached. He said: "This year, the weather is not right, many people come to sell cattle, the price is extremely low, now is a good time to buy cattle." You don't take advantage of the situation to buy one? After the New Year, the spring has opened, and the time to use cattle has come, and it is difficult for you to buy it. ”

These words really spoke to Wang Siliu's heart. He has long concluded that the continuous decline in cattle prices is already the lowest point in nearly a decade. In a few months, when you open spring, you will be bullish, and if you really pass this village, there will be no such store.

The problem is that it is not yet the time for the autumn harvest and the capital to be recovered, even if they are all recovered, there is still a difference of about seven or eight taels of silver, and there is only a difference of seven or eight taels of silver.

When he got home, he was still thinking about it, and he muttered: "That's it, that's it."

As long as he can get this money, the big bull that he has been in love with for a long time is his, what a good cow it is, and it can't be taken away by others.

The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became, and the next day he went to the bull market again, and the cow was still there, so he stepped forward and stroked the cow's back, and sighed unconsciously.

The agent came over again and said, "Brother, I see that you are an expert in treasure reading, and every time you look at it, you are one in a hundred good cows." That's it, I can only buy half a head at the same price last year, and several families have seen it, thinking of our friendship, the sword is given to the hero, the price is good for us to discuss, go home and get the money, and take the cow home. ”

"No, no, I'll just look, see." Wang Siliu turned around and hurried away.

The agent said to his back: "Brother, is this good?" I'll keep this cow for you, and if you go back and make up enough money, come and get the cow." ”

"Okay, okay." Wang Siliu turned around and smiled innocently.

On the way home, Wang Siliu was thinking while walking, he knew that as long as he opened his mouth with his smoker, let alone a few taels of silver, even a few hundred taels would be fine, and he would never charge interest, nor would he come to ask for it, who doesn't know Xu Sanye's righteousness?

But because it was his only friend, he cherished it very much, but he didn't want to open his mouth anymore, it seemed that after borrowing money, friends could no longer sit on an equal footing, and it was not good to regard him as a friend, and he could no longer talk to him without scruples.

"It's just a few taels of silver, how can my lord trouble him? Such a precious favor has to be used in the moment of life and death. ”

Wang Siliu, who was talking to himself, walked to the entrance of the village, and met the subordinate of the old man Tong's house, also surnamed Wang, who was also one of the yeoman farmers around the compound, and was also the same unlucky as Wang Siliu, the weather was bad, and the family encountered a sick person, without Wang Siliu's careful calculation and shrewdness and diligence, it was hard to get by.

Even Wang Siliu was forced to give his land to the Tong family at that time, let alone his family. Then the sick died, and the funeral was in arrears, and the family was in trouble, and the holes were getting bigger and bigger, and all the fields were dead, and those who were tied down were reduced from homesteaders to tenants, and from tenants to homeless and destitute.

Fortunately, Uncle Tong saw that he was thoughtful, so he asked him to be an errand boy, that is, to rush to the countryside, collect interest for the Tong family, send letters to invite guests, buy things, but it is much easier than farming, he himself is also willing to be a subordinate, a year's salary plus various benefits, a steady ten taels of silver, a family to eat and drink is easy to deal with.

"Fourth and sixth brother, you were originally a rare guest in a hurry, why did you watch you rush recently?"

"Oh, it's Brother Wang, I have something, something." Wang 46 Zhiwu.

The surnamed Wang saw through his plan and said with a smile: "If it's okay, run to the cow dam, smell the smelly cow dung, and smell the smell of cow dung when you come back." ”

"Well, if you have something to do, take a look at the cow and have a long experience." Wang Siliu still coped with it, not wanting him to know what was on his mind, so he asked casually: "Do you also have something to go out?" ”

"What can I do?" The surnamed Wang pouted, "It's not an errand for the Tong family." The second young master's wife is in confinement, and she wants to buy a little girl to serve the little master. Three taels of silver a year, about ten taels of selling price, a lot of money, but you have to be diligent with your hands and feet, you have to be honest and upright if you look good, don't ask the second young master to steal it, it's really hard to find. ”

"Oh, oh." Wang Siliu continued to deal with it, "Then you are busy with your going, I am going home." ”

When he returned home, his heart was on fire, and he took out the money box again and counted it, and he could harvest it next month, his capital was small, and the other party said that he would give him money first, but it was just a few taels of silver, and he couldn't help but sigh again.

At dinner, a family of four gathered around the table, and Wang Siliu ate tastelessly.

The wife asked worriedly: "Look at you, you have no energy to eat, and when you see the sky running out, you don't know what moth has seduce your soul." ”

"You know what a fart! How many times have I ever had a lot of thoughts? It's to go to the cow dam bull market to see the cows. Wang Siliu put down his chopsticks and sighed: "If only we had a cow." ”

"Cow?" The wife and two children were amazed, they had never thought of buying a cow, they didn't even dare to think about it.

Wang Siliu said quietly: "If our family wants to have a cow, this family will not be defeated." ”

Who's to say it isn't? The Wang family doesn't know that if there is a cow, ten or twenty acres of land can be easily planted, saving Wang Siliu from being tired like a cow, or in the busy season, running around to rent cattle from others, begging grandpa to tell grandma.

A large amount of money for renting cattle is not counted, and Wang Siliu has to go to other people's houses to change cattle like a cow, after all, there is not so much cash, it is really exhaustible tired, unbearable anger, so it is often inevitable to miss the festival.

If you have a cow in your own family, you don't need to go to other people's jobs to change jobs, and you don't need to spend an extra amount of money, you can also rent the cow and earn several times the money back.

Wang Siliu finally told his family the secret that had been hidden in his heart for many years, and because of this, the family knew that this matter was reliable, and the head of the family had never opened his mouth.

So everyone looked at him with hopeful eyes, and Wang Siliu said excitedly: "I am optimistic about a big bull on the field, only five years old, and it is time to contribute." The price is also fair, I think we have been frugal for many years, and the money has been accumulated, just ten taels or eight taels of silver. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Siliu couldn't help but sigh again, yes! It's just a few taels of silver, and if you're lucky, you'll have to work for another year.

"Ugh."

"Ugh."

The family sighed one after another, no matter how lucky they were, they didn't necessarily save five or six taels of silver a year, and they were all very sorry.

Wang Siliu calculated this account clearly, and his family agreed with his algorithm.

"As long as I can get ten taels of silver now, I can get the rest of the money out in advance immediately, and then go and bring the cattle back. Good life to feed for a winter, relying on this cow, this year will be less than six taels of silver, maybe you can get seventeen or eighteen taels. This one in and one out, it's nearly thirty taels! If the wind and rain are good in the coming year, you can redeem the few acres of land that should be given to Master Tong next year. Then you can earn at least thirty taels more in the year after tomorrow, maybe you will get to the year after the next year, earn more and more money, and you can buy a few acres of land, so that our family will work hard, and we will not worry about becoming a first-class household, and then become a landlord like the Tong family, the boss can also be a decent scholar, and the child can also marry out to be a young grandmother. ”

The eyes of the whole family lit up, and they dreamed of owning a cow.

"Alas, the wishful thinking is stuck on this cash of less than ten taels, which is really a penny that is difficult for the cropper." (To be continued......)
