Li Xin hesitated for a moment, but thought of something and shook his head.

Zhao Ze didn't persuade him, so he let him go, just let him figure it out so that he can come to the mansion to find himself.

Seeing Li Xin's back turned decisively when he left, Nuo Erliang was also puzzled.

He was directly given the position of lieutenant general just after he joined the army. This is a god-sent opportunity, and ordinary people wish they could fall on their own heads.

The young man refused, and dared to show Zhao Ze's face. He couldn't help admiring the young man.

Zhao Ze was not annoyed at being rejected, and went to the nearby Mihang as originally planned.

When you enter, you will see rice of different prices displayed in the rice row.

From high to low.

The lowest of these costs two cents a catty, or some broken ~ rice.

This price is comparable to Xianyang.

However, Xianyang belongs to the capital of the Qin State, with a prosperous terrain, less arable land, and many merchants, so it is normal for the price to be high.

But Huaili is a small town, and the local people live on arable land, but the Mi family is raised so high.

Zhao Ze stepped forward to ask why.

Xiaoer thought he was trying to negotiate the price, and said directly: "It is impossible to bargain. This year, the harvest in Huaili is poor, and the court is fighting a war again, so the collection is quite large. The rice family knows that it is not long, and there is not so much rice to buy in other places."

"And the price of this rice is not low when we buy it, the minimum is two yuan a catty."

Zhao Ze thought that if the two cents had been converted according to the current currency, it would be about one yuan.

And some broken rice.

If you look at the good ones, you will have to pay ten taels a catty.

Zhao Ze didn't refute Xiao Er, just asked: "Where did you buy this rice? I must know where this rice is produced from?"

"That's over there in Lin's Village! Didn't you see the name of the shop when you came in, Lin's Mizhuang?" 1

Back at the magistrate, Zhao Ze learned about Linjiacun from Liu Guang.

This Lin Family Mizhuang was opened by Lin Fugui, the richest man in Lin Family Village, and Lin Fugui's father was the head of Lin Family Village.

The location of Linjiacun is superior, in the center of Huaili and Yuyang, just avoiding the waterways that have been washed away.

Therefore, the local harvest in the past two years has been good, and because of the Qin State's policy, their rice can only be bought in Huaili, and the price is naturally high.

After knowing the reason, Zhao Ze planned to visit Lin Family Village tomorrow.

In the evening, Li Xin just came back from the field with a hoe in his hand.

Before I got home, I heard the sound of clanging at home.

Realizing that something was wrong, he put down his hoe and rushed home.

When he entered the door, he saw Wang Fu and the servants he brought with him.

His elder brother Li Yang was stepped on the ground by him, while his younger sister and mother curled up in the corner in fear.

The house was in a mess, pots and pans fell to the floor, and in the simple living room, the only wooden table and four self-contained tables were overturned.

The broken leg of the chair rolled down to Li Xin's feet.

Seeing him coming back, Wang Fu smiled and said, "Your brother didn't pay back the debt, and you injured my man again on the street today, how will the debt be settled?"

Today, Wang Fu has already forged a dispute with him about the beating.

It is definitely not for the 50 taels that he came to the door now, it is nothing more than wanting to humiliate himself.

"I will pay back the money my brother owes you, and I will definitely send the money to the Wang family within three days."

Wang Fu came here to relieve his anger, and he still refused to let go of what he said: "No, I will see the money today, otherwise you will not want to keep your brother's leg.

As he spoke, he was about to chop off Li Yang's leg with a knife.

Li Yang was so frightened that he hugged his head and cried, and shouted to Li Xin: "Brother, you must save me."

I heard that Li Xin was extremely disappointed with his out-of-the-ordinary brother.

But after all, it was the blood relative who saw the knife was about to cut Ji Yang's thigh bone.

Li Xin turned over, his body was as light as a swallow, and he swept his legs and directly snatched the knife from Wang Fu's hand.

The knife landed on Wang Fu's neck at some point, "I will return the money to you in three days, or I will die with you now."

Li Xin's skills showed, Wang Fu was really scared, "Okay, just as you said, you put down the knife quickly.

Li Xin still has confidence in his own skills, he is not afraid of Wang Fu's regret.

Wang Fu wanted to vent his anger, but the knife just now really scared him, and the ignition had long since turned into panic.

Looking at the saber in his hand, Wang Fu was still somewhat apprehensive.

But he was still unconvinced, and said with a snort: "Then remember to send the money over. You know the place well. If not, you can ask your brother Li Yang to use your sister as capital and let him play two rounds. What if he turns around?" ,Am I right!"

Wang Fu glanced at Li Yuwei bewilderedly, his eyes straight.

Thinking that Wang Fu wanted to belittle her before, Li Yuwei hid behind Ji Xin in panic.

Li Xin was annoyed by the look in his eyes, and raised his knife to threaten him: "Damn! Get out of here, and then I will dig out your eyeballs. Believe it or not, barefoot people are not afraid of wearing shoes, don't push me !"

Wang Fu shyly withdrew his gaze and said with contempt, "Go, I want to see how you managed to get fifty taels in three days."

In Wang Fu's eyes, Li Xin was an incomprehensible trash. Even if he got the thirty taels, he might have borrowed it from someone.

He didn't believe that someone would keep lending him money to fill the entire hole.

After Wang Fu and his party left, Li Yang washed his face with tears and slapped himself: "Ah Xin, I'm so stupid, I shouldn't have gambled, I will find a way to pay for this money, and I will never lose money." I can win you."

Li Yuwei was going to help him, but Li Xin asked Li Yang to talk about what happened yesterday.

It was only when he realized that someone taught Li Yang the trick of "cheat" yesterday that Li Yang wanted to take the risk, but he didn't expect that at that time, Li Yang was so nervous that he directly overcame it for a long time. .
