"Hey, hey." Dashan didn't know how to describe his feelings. It was more than 1,000 taels.
"You can decide how much you want to charge for the cotton from my sister-in-law's family. I won't get involved in this matter. I will charge 55 wen per catty for the villagers. I think it's enough to make a profit of 20 wen per catty. I will raise the price by 5 wen for them, and everyone will be happy." This was indeed a good idea. She made nearly 1,000 taels of silver from the difference in price.
"Next, let's talk about my second brother's family. For every kilogram of cotton, they get 930.255 taels of silver. Come get the money tomorrow." Seeing everyone was silently happy, she said, "Okay, I still have to count the money for each household in the village tomorrow. Come early, and I'll prepare the money for you when I go back tonight."
When everyone saw that she had finished speaking, they immediately started a heated discussion.
"Isn't it too much for us to keep 100 catties of cotton? If we sell it, we can get more than 7 taels of silver."
"Not much. We only keep 100 kilograms each. I saw Chunxiao kept 300 kilograms. She has to use it herself, right? If she doesn't keep any, will she have to buy it when she needs it?"
"Don't think the villagers are reluctant to give it away. I heard that most of them kept some for themselves this time."
"Oh my god, we have a fortune of more than 1,000 taels of silver in just one transaction. Wife, wife, pinch me."
Zhang didn't pinch him, but Zhou stepped forward and pinched Dahe. "Look at your sister, then look at you. She has thousands of dollars in wealth, but she doesn't have anything like you. She will have even more in the future."
"Mom, is our family going to get rich?" Yun Duo asked Zhang secretly. Zhang patted her head and said, "No one will dare to bully us anymore."
"Chunxiao, I see that you only collected a small box of silver, and the rest are probably banknotes." Yan Bingfa became curious about the paper in her hand.
"Yes, they are all large-denomination banknotes. They can be used outside, Dad." She took out one from the inner layer and said, "Let me show you. You haven't seen banknotes before!"
Everyone gathered around and asked, "The flowers on this are quite pretty, and there are quite a few stamps on it. How much is this one?"
"1,000 taels."
Yan Bingfa's hands were shaking as he held the banknote. He quickly handed it to Dashan, who was standing beside him. "Hold it carefully, and don't tear it."
No one dared to take it for a moment. The banknote passed through everyone's hands for a few seconds and finally returned to Chunxiao's hands.
"Little sister, you should keep it. This one is equivalent to our annual harvest."
"Chunxiao, you won't give me a 1,000 tael note, right? It's convenient to save, but inconvenient to use. Can you change it? If I keep it, I'll have to worry every day about it being lost or broken!" Yan Dashan frowned as he looked at the banknote.
"Don't worry, I won't give you such a large sum. That's why I told you to get the money from me tomorrow. Otherwise, what will I prepare?" She looked at the sky outside. "We should leave now. I still have to settle the village accounts tonight." She looked at Shufeng. "You can come back with us today. Now that the crops are harvested, the cotton fields are safe. We won't be busy for the time being."
Shufeng was thinking the same thing and nodded quickly.
Chunxiao called Wang Shiwen over and asked him to arrange for the farmhands to rest for a few days and then take their time with the work later. He also asked him to go to town tomorrow to buy a few pounds of meat for everyone's meal, and told him to come back when he had some free time.
A group of people drove two ox carts out of the village, and the drivers were still the mountains and the rivers.
Although it was late and the cold night wind was chilling, everyone's hearts were burning with joy. Zhang wrapped the blanket tightly around the child. Little Changxing had just finished his feeding and had fallen asleep again.
"Grandpa, our family is rich now, can we buy land again?"
"I definitely have to buy the land, but where can I buy it? It would be great if I could buy another farm like the one in Chunxiao."
"I think it's difficult. My little sister's farm is not easy to find near us."
"There's no need to rush. Let's take our time to explore. We found the land in Zhoujia Village through exploration. I'll go to town to deliver the goods tomorrow. I'll give the dealer a heads-up."
"Dad, my heart starts pounding just thinking about earning 900 taels of silver a year." Tian was really excited today.
"So, buying this land is definitely a good investment."
Everyone was really stimulated today. Chunxiao, with 9,000 taels of silver in his pocket, was thinking about what to do next.
After returning home, Chunxiao asked Xingfu and the others to light a stove for her. She lit a lamp and began to count the money from the delivery bills of each household in the village one by one.
She still had 49 silver notes worth 100 taels and several hundred taels of silver coins, which were definitely enough to pay them out, but she didn't have enough silver coins. She could only ask a few families to pool their money tomorrow, and then let them go to the town to exchange them for silver themselves.
Naturally, I was busy until late at night.
The next morning, Yan Dahe went to deliver the goods. The Yan family came over early. They all knew that money would be distributed to the villagers today. Chunxiao gave them the money from both families first.
"Little sister, you exchanged the money so quickly. Is this a silver note worth 100 taels?" Tian was curious.
Zhang also picked it up and looked around. Others also came over to take a look. Unlike their attitude towards the 1000 tael note, they were more willing to accept the 100 tael note.
"Yeah, you can try taking one to town and using it. It should all work."
"You're crazy! Who would go out with 100 taels for no reason? Put it away, put it away, put it away quickly."
Not long after, the village head came with representatives from each household in the village. Everyone lined up in an orderly manner and lined up outside the fence.
