Chapter 31
Clever is clever, but he is a child after all, so he is not so thoughtful.

Su Mo slowed down and told him what happened tonight bit by bit.

"It is necessary to take one step at a time and adapt to the situation.

Our mothers are in the village, helpless.

However, the Wang family has four children, and the Wang family is looking forward to being honored, so naturally it is toward them.

If the enemy is strong and we are weak, if I directly tear my face apart, I threaten to ask for 21 taels of silver.

Leaving aside whether they agree or not, if it gets out, it will give a bad reputation, and life in the village will not be easy in the future.

It's better to pretend to be wronged, say it pitifully, and shed a few tears, which is harmless, but it can make them face the most valued face, and take the initiative to increase the price.

It seems to be giving in, but it actually takes advantage of their weaknesses.

And Mrs. Wang has an old feud with me, and is a money addict, so he will definitely be impulsive.

This person is impulsive and prone to make mistakes. At this time, I will take the opportunity to seize the mistake and kill it with one blow.

It's like hitting a snake to hit seven inches, understand? "

Gu Jinnian nodded half understanding.

Su Mo continued: "The future official careers of the four children of the Wang family are the top priority for the Wang family.

I threatened them with this, and they had no choice but to retreat. At this time, they took the opportunity to express their real demands.

21 Two or five dollars is not much for the Wang family.

If they gritted their teeth and could squeeze it out, they just didn't want to, after all, they were being threatened.

But I have a reason for this matter, and many women in the village can testify to me, so no matter how they feel that they should not respond, they can only accept it.

This is how you behave and do things. You stand on the commanding heights of morality and at the same time grasp everything that is beneficial to you. Even if you get stuck in the mud, you can get out completely.

As for the fields, our family will have to live in the village in the future, so the Wang family can't offend Taisi.

If we don't keep the four children from the Wang family together, they will be admitted as scholars. If we really do too well, we will be the ones who will be in trouble in the future.

If the enemy is weak and we are strong, then we must act ruthlessly and cut grass and roots.

But the enemy is strong and we are weak, so we must act steadily and keep ourselves alive.

If you want to be treated fairly, you have to make yourself stronger so that they are afraid of you and dare not make mistakes..."

As he said that, Su Mo curled his lips into a smile, and said meaningfully: "Of course, who said that this field can't grow crops..."

Gu Jinnian listened to too much at once, and was a little dazed. When Su Mo's last words came to his ears, he suddenly raised his head.

"But everyone has never grown crops?"

Su Mo stopped in front of the gate of the courtyard, gently pushed the gate open, then turned around and looked at Gu Jinnian:

"Then let me ask you, when was the last time crops were planted in the village?"

Gu Jinnian thought for a while, then shook his head, all he knew was that he had never seen anyone in the village go to the ground.

Su Mo didn't think it was wrong to fool the children, she said very seriously: "When I came here, those lands were deserted.

So many years have passed, and no one has tried it again. If so, how can you be sure that nothing can be grown in those fields? "

The Chen family and the Wang family were originally from Yuzhou. 30 years ago, due to the wars in various places, they left their hometowns and traveled all the way east. They did not choose an open space to settle down until they fled to the sea and found that they could not move forward.

After the establishment of the Yong Dynasty, officials came to register the population. Seeing that there were people living here, they divided the land boundaries, set up Luoshan Village, and divided the nearby fields to them.

At the beginning, everyone was very happy. Only when there is land and land can we really take root.

It's just that I planted crops in the field the next year and worked hard for a year, but there was no harvest.

Everyone panicked, there is nothing to grow in this land, how can they live?
Yuzhou Mansion is surrounded by mountains. They don't know anything about the calm sea, but when they went up the mountain to hunt, they didn't catch any wild animals, and on the contrary, several people died.

The Wang family wasn't too panicked because they were selected as a scholar in the first year of Yuanyong, but the Chen family was different.

Fortunately, at the end of autumn, Gu Jingting (Gu Dalang's father) and Ning Nanqing (Gu Dalang's mother) brought their one-year-old Gu Dalang to appear near Luoshan Village in a panic.

Chen Yongwen, who was only in his 30s at the time and was not the head of the village, discovered the two, invited them to his home, and invited them to dinner.

Chen Yongwen's father, the previous village head, said that if he wanted to stay, the villagers could help build a house.

Gu Jingting was very grateful. As a reward, he told everyone that they could go fishing for a living, and taught them how to swim, make fishing boats, and weave fishing nets.

After the boat was ready, Gu Jingting took Chen Yongwen out to sea.

When they came back, the whole boat was filled with fish they had never seen before, and Gu Jingting and Chen Yongwen took the fish to the county town and bought three taels of silver.

Since then, people in Luoshan Village have made a living by going out to sea to fish.

As for the land in the field, no one has ever planted it.

"Then... what if it still doesn't grow?"

Gu Jinnian also raised his head, his dark eyes fixed on Su Mo.

"Then it can't be planted, anyway, the worst is like this."

Gu Jinnian's eyes widened, and he wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth for a long time, but in the end he didn't say anything.

Su Mo stepped into the yard.

Gu Jinnian walked in blankly, Su Mo closed the door and bolted it, then went to the kitchen to fetch water for a bath.

When she reached the door of the kitchen, she turned her head and told Gu Jinnian, "It's getting late, go back to your room and sleep, move gently, don't wake up your sister."

Gu Jinnian nodded in a daze.

The hole in the bedroom wall has not been filled yet, and the moonlight penetrates in and falls on the ground.

Gu Jinnian took off his shoes and lay on the bamboo bed, looking at the hole in the wall, his eyes gradually became firmer.

"When the enemy is weak, we are strong, and we must act ruthlessly. When the enemy is strong, we are weak, and we must act steadily...

If you want to be treated fairly, you have to make yourself stronger..."

He murmured, taking these words to heart.

Many years later, Gu Jinnian squeezed himself into the court, and was regarded by the new emperor as his confidant, and he acted decisively and ruthlessly.

If he came to the door, he would definitely copy the house, even his own Yue's family, he would copy it.

The dignitaries in Beijing avoided him, and they didn't even dare to pronounce his name directly. They all called him... Yan Luo with a cold face.

Of course, this is something for later, so I won’t show it for the time being.

At this moment, Gu Jinnian was being attacked by sleepiness, he turned around, closed his eyes, and fell asleep.

In the early morning of the next day, Su Mo got up, was busy making breakfast, and called the three children to get up again.

I took six taels of silver from Mrs. Wang last night, so I don't have to worry about the expenses these days.

After the land deed is completed, he will go to Yaozhou Prefecture to sell the things stored in the entrusted system.

Just as he was thinking about it, the village head appeared at the gate of the courtyard, holding something for measuring in his hand.

"The village chief is here?
Just having breakfast, come in and have some, shall we? "

Su Mo greeted them out, and the three children had just washed up and came out of the kitchen, when they saw everyone shouted, "Grandpa, the village chief."

"No, I ate it."

The village chief shook his head, and stood at the door with a cane.

"That's right, if you go after noon to get the title deed in this yamen, you can get it the next day, but if you go before noon, you can get it on the same day.

On Yuan Hai's side, I have already greeted them and told them to wait.

If it's convenient for you, let's measure the wasteland first, and get the land deed as soon as possible. "

The village chief was also thinking about Su Mo, he couldn't go to the mountains, he couldn't grow the fields, and the four of the family spent money, and six taels of silver would be enough, but he couldn't keep living on his laurels, right?
After the land deed is completed, the Su family will have land, and if they can really grow watermelons, the family will also have an income.

"Convenient, convenient..."

Su Mo responded quickly, turned around and told Gu Pingan and Gu Jinnian to take good care of their sister, and then walked outside.

"To be honest, I'm also in a hurry..."
