This was the village headman who Yan Bing sent the notice to yesterday, asking him to organize people to collect the money. Everyone was smiling happily, and they couldn't hide the smiles on their faces.
Chun Xiao didn't hesitate and directly took out the book to distribute silver to everyone. The first one was naturally the village head's family. The village head sold 2400 catties, and Chun Xiao gave him 132 taels, including a silver note of 100 taels.
"Why is it 132 taels? I calculated it to be 120 taels." Although getting more money was a good thing, she was afraid that Chunxiao, a maid, was not good at arithmetic and might make a mistake in calculating the amount.
Chunxiao looked at the people behind him and deliberately raised his voice, "Lizhang, you calculated 50 wen per catty, so it's naturally 120 liang. But this time I'm charging everyone 55 wen per catty, so it's 132 liang."
The people behind became excited when they heard this. This was an extra 5 cents for one pound, and an extra 1 or 2 taels of silver for one acre of land. This was a great thing.
The village head happily accepted the money and helped maintain order.
Because there was not so much loose silver, the Yan family coordinated and issued silver notes to several families together, and told them that if it was really inconvenient for them to open the silver notes, they could come and exchange them in early November, and they would exchange them for small change at that time. This was also what Chunxiao said.
Naturally, everyone has no objection. They have taken this step very seriously for everyone's benefit.
Dongsheng's family, Aunt Fang's family and Wangzu's family all came. For the villagers, today was more lively and happy than the Chinese New Year. The least cultivated land in the village was more than one mu, while the headman's family cultivated 10 mu. Therefore, they all had an income of at least 10 taels of silver, which was something they had never dared to imagine before.
Many people came to Chunxiao with money to discuss the matter, saying that they wanted to use the money to buy more land and asked if they could postpone paying the money they owed her. Chunxiao readily agreed and said that she had said before that they would pay her back when they had more money on hand, and as long as they didn't really want to default on the debt, they could postpone it until next year's harvest.
Everyone was really happy now. They took the money and went to the village head to buy land. The village head was also worried because there was no land in the village. The only piece of land was in the town, and he wanted to buy some land himself.
After dividing the money among everyone, the family members went home.
Chunxiao closed the door and started counting money and reconciling accounts at home.
She had saved up almost a whole box of silver coins, and it was almost all used up today. She took the nine 1,000-tael silver notes and the nine 100-tael silver notes, plus more than 20 taels of silver coins. Oh my God, she now had 9,900 taels, and she would soon become a millionaire.
Tomorrow is the day for profit distribution. The money is in another small box and she has not touched it. She will get a share at the end of the month. She has never felt that money comes so easily.
She put the 9,800 taels of silver into a hidden box on the wall, leaving more than 100 taels of silver outside.
The next day, she took the initiative to follow Dahe to deliver the goods. She found Huang Minghe and told him that she wanted cash for her share of the profits at the end of the month. Huang Minghe was a little surprised. "What do you want so much cash for? I'm afraid I'll have to buy two boxes for you to put it in."
"Boss Huang wouldn't be reluctant to give up both boxes, would he?" It was a pleasant surprise to get two boxes for free.
"Miss Yan, you think I'm too stingy. It's just two boxes. I can give you two sturdy ones." Chunxiao thanked her.
"You're not talking business with him again, are you?" Dahai looked inquiring. Every time they talked about something in there, it was not a simple matter.
"I asked him to help me with some things and give them to me at the end of the month. Second brother, remember to help me carry them when the time comes." Chunxiao patted Erhe's arm. "You'll know when the time comes."
"Still playing secrets with me." Daha smiled and drove the ox cart away.
