Chapter 98
"If the lady is short of money, it's better to be a pawnbroker. You can only get 300 taels for a dead pawn, but you can only get 100 taels for a live pawn. There is no place in the world that can afford a higher price than my pawnshop."

The shopkeeper looked aloof, as if he was giving Li Qing alms.

Seeing the shopkeeper's attitude, Li Qing immediately decided to change to another one.She quickly took the box out of the shopkeeper's hand, wrapped it in a cloth and hugged it in her arms, turned around and left without saying a word.

"Hey hey... Alas!" The shopkeeper stomped his feet angrily, what kind of woman is this!Playing cards out of the ordinary.

Li Qing didn't care what happened to the previous shopkeeper, she now found another pawn shop.The pawn shop looked a little shaky, and there was someone pawning clothes before her.

"To be honest, your clothes are only worth ten copper coins, nothing more." The pawnshop shopkeeper picked out the clothes in the man's hand, as if checking the integrity of the clothes.

"Shopkeeper, please give me more, just give me more, my wife needs money, and the doctor has already given a deadline, please, shopkeeper." The man begged.

The shopkeeper frowned, thought for a while and said, "All right, all right, let's raise another five coins."

"Thank you shopkeeper. A good man is rewarded with good rewards. The shopkeeper will surely be rich and safe for the rest of his life."

The man took the money, made a bow to the shopkeeper, and ran out of the store in a hurry.

The shopkeeper turned his head and saw Li Qing.

……

"This turned out to be the authentic work of Master Qin Jue." The shopkeeper looked at Li Qing, and felt that she didn't look like someone who was short of money. How could such a treasure be pawned?

The shopkeeper sighed and asked, "Wife choose to live or die?"

Li Qing said: "It's a job, it will be redeemed in the future, please keep it carefully."

"Master Qin Jue is a master at making jewelry. He used to be a court craftsman, but he was exiled because of bad eyesight. However, the jewelry he made is still flocking to. If my lady is known by those who like to collect it, she will definitely sell it. a better price."

"I don't intend to sell it. If it wasn't for the chaos at home, I wouldn't pawn it. Let the shopkeeper make a price." Li Qing said.

"If the lady is dead, I can give you a thousand taels of silver, but if you choose to live, you have to pay half of it."

The shopkeeper seemed to be an honest person, Li Qing said: "I'll redeem it if it's a job."

"If you choose, then sign this deed." The shopkeeper pushed out a piece of paper.

Li Qing looked at the content above, and finally picked up a pen, wrote down the redemption date of the pawn as one year later, signed her name, and then pressed her thumbprint.

One year later, Li Qing will bring a thousand taels of silver to redeem this set of jewelry.

How could there be good people in the pawnshop? Li Qing thought too much just now. Behind the shopkeeper's seemingly pure kindness, he pretended to be a businessman who was not interested in profit.From this, Li Qing concluded that the value of this set of jewelry was much higher than a thousand taels of silver.The difference is that this shopkeeper has an appreciative attitude towards treasures.

The shopkeeper put the jewelry into the box, took out 500 taels of silver and handed it to Li Qing.

"This is Tianqi's universal bank note, with which you can withdraw money at any bank."

Li Qing took it and said, "Thank you, I will redeem my things in a year." The shopkeeper nodded.Li Qing wandered around the capital.

The luxuriance here is unimaginable, the houses are tall and tall, there are many vendors in front of the door, the houses and shops are connected in series, and the boats are crowded by the water.Those who carry burdens, those who push carts, those who carry baskets...there are countless.

Here, Li Qing saw a kind of vitality, culture and ancient charm that Lexu County had never seen before.

Li Qing didn't buy anything, she walked for a long time before leaving the city, there were too many people in the city, she couldn't find a chance to teleport.

After returning to Shilitang, Li Qing went to the county government and bought dozens of acres of land, spending almost half of the money.

The imperial court suppressed land mergers, and Li Qing was almost defined as a land merger. If she paid taxes like the last time she bought a house, she would vomit blood.

"Here is 200 taels. I bought a part of the wasteland in the west of the city. I will take your people there to build a house and live there. First, we will plant a season of grain." Li Qing said to Liang Shanxian.

Most of these people are tenant farmers. Their homes were destroyed by natural disasters, and they were unable to deliver the proceeds to the landlords and went bankrupt. Now that there is land for them to grow, it is too late for them to be grateful!
Liang Shanxian was shocked. A few days ago, he couldn't come up with any money, but after a few days, he could come up with a few hundred taels. This money couldn't be stolen, right?This woman is quite qualified to be a bandit.

Finally, the land was measured and the building base was planned.These people will be Li Qing's labor force in the future, and Li Qing's wishful thinking will be resounding.

We have to find a way to buy this wasteland. Many people died in this land due to natural disasters before, so no rich people dared to touch it in the past few years. This is really cheap for Li Qing.

When they arrived in the wasteland, this and that person really saw what their benefactor looked like.

There are actually people in this world who are willing to plant land for them, but there are still voices of doubt, for fear that Li Qing will turn them into slaves.

But after all, there is a price to pay for some types of land, and the contract must be signed, but I don't know which one to sign.

"This land is not far from the river, so it shouldn't be difficult to irrigate. We will start planting cotton next year, but this year will be too late." Li Qing stood on the big rock, looking at the large piece of land, which is all hers.

We are also a landed family now, and we are veritable landlords.

Delicious.

After Li Qing went back, he wrote the plan and handed it over to Liang Shanxian.There is Wen Qin next to him. If Liang Shanxian is compared to a general charging into battle, then Wen Qin is definitely a qualified military adviser.

With these two people around, Li Qing can save a lot of trouble.

The January deadline was approaching, and Su Xuning had already received the petition half a month ago.

In order to complete the agreement with Li Qing, he has been suppressing this matter, waiting for the end of the month and Li Qing to cooperate internally and externally to completely resolve public grievances.

Liang Shanxian was escorted to the county government alone, and Su Xuning pretended to be interrogated, so that the public could see Liang Shanxian was thrown into prison.

In fact, Li Qing had already changed his appearance.

The name of the Three Prodigal Sons disappeared completely from this world, leaving only the name of Liang Shanxian.

There are quite a lot of people with the same name and surname in this world, and they don't care what the common people can think of.Li Qing asked Liang Shanxian and Wen Qin to bring trusted people to form a caravan, use Li Qing's money earned from selling scripts and the shop, to visit various places, and return after a year of cotton harvest.

The previous blackhead mole had already been expelled by Liang Shanxian and handed over to his cousin to take care of it.It's just a green head, it's insignificant.

After Li Qing's shop and fields were on the right track, she was free.

Most of the time I spent with my children in Shilitang, and by the way, I studied spinning machines and looms with Liu Erye.

Li Qing must make them suitable for cotton weaving.
