    "We won't sell this jade!" Yan Laowu slapped the table loudly, making Zi Baifeng feel a little distressed for his own table.  These jade merchants are so ruthless in bargaining. Even if they sell these jade stones, they can only get one hundred shi of grain One hundred shi is about five tons of grain. If calculated based on one kilogram of grain per person per day -  -Actually, one kilogram of dry noodles is enough to feed a big-bellied man - there are 3,000 people in Jiuyan Township, and your sister can only feed a little more than a day!  Even if I save on food, I can only eat it for three days!  Not for sale!  Definitely not selling it!  In fact, of course it cannot be calculated like this. It is not a big problem to support the entire township for ten more days with five tons of grain. However, Zi Baifeng is such an uncompromising character. He will never tolerate what he sees that he cannot bear to see.  If he had been willing to show the immortal jade to the birds and mice at the beginning, the things that happened later would not have happened, but is it possible?  impossible.  If the price of jade is increased by ** times, one month's worth of food can be purchased at a time, which can basically solve the problem of the entire Xiayan Village's shortage of food.  Of course, he can¡¯t just spend the money on these jade stones Anyway, various things cannot be generalized, and the most important thing is that Zi Baifeng is unhappy.  ¡° Taking advantage of the situation, I really think I am a vegetarian!  We just can¡¯t get used to it, so I really won¡¯t sell it!  However, many things are not sold by Zi Baifeng if he wants to. The people here in Xiayan Village are not in a hurry. Anyway, when they go to look for jade, they bring out two rabbits, which is enough for two days.  They are very friendly to the villagers of Xiayan. With the mountains at their backs, it is not easy to go hungry. When spring comes next year, everything will grow, and there will be as much food as you want. Let these jade merchants eat shit!  ¡°However, not everyone is as restless as Xiayancun.  On this day, Yan Laowu went to other villages to deliver food, but he came back angry.  "This Yan Dafu, I knew he was not a good person!" After coming back, Yan Laowu asked Zi Baifeng to pat the table again.  Without waiting for Zi Baifeng to speak, he started talking like he was pouring beans: "It doesn't hurt for me to sell my father Tian. These prodigal sons, their ancestors left a small amount of family property, and they are so ruined. In the future, how can I  Go see Brother!" Zi Baifeng asked carefully and found out that they don't sell jade but someone does.  Yan Dafu, the clan elder of Yan Village and now the clan clan leader of the entire Xiayan Village, plans to sell the jade stones accumulated by his ancestors at the bottom of the box in exchange for money to buy food.  "I knew it a long time ago, I knew it a long time ago!" Yan Laowu was circling in Zi Baifeng's study like an angry lion, saying this sentence back and forth.  Zi Baifeng disagreed. He had seen Yan Dafu before. When they planned to go to the Bird and Mouse Watch, Yan Dafu plundered all his food and asked them to take it with them as payment. Although Zi Baifeng and others  After all, he didn't ask for these expenses, but he left an excellent impression on this person.  Zi Baifeng could probably understand their thoughts. In fact, Yan Laowu could also understand them, so he came back angrily instead of dragging Yan Dafu into a beating.  If possible, who wants to be a prodigal in the eyes of their ancestors?  It's just that there is no choice.  "Did they sell it?" Zi Baifeng asked Yan Laowu.  "Not yet. Fortunately, I got there early, otherwise they would have opened the box!" Yan Laowu said angrily.  Since everything has been stopped, what is this guy Yan Laowu doing angrily?  Yan Laowu snorted and said: "This Yan Dafu has no prestige at all. The villagers in his village have already sold seven or eight pieces of jade. You said that we worked hard to drive away the evil way of Bird and Mouse Watch."  , help them save the jade, just to let them exchange for five taels of silver? I want to buy it with money!" "Buy it with money?  Zi Baifeng could only shake his head. The current working capital in Xiayan Village was less than a hundred taels of silver. It had been accumulated over many days, and Zi Baifeng himself had quietly subsidized some of it.  He didn't know how much Yan Laowu's wealth was, but there was no doubt that a large part of Yan Laowu's property should actually be jade, and there was no way to realize it now.  What¡¯s more important is that if someone gets caught in this situation, even if you plan to sell jade in the future, the price won¡¯t be high.  "Ordinary villagers don't know, but Zi Baifeng knows the importance of jade. These people want to play with nothing, but they are looking for money. Are they really treating everyone else as a fool?  "I'm going to meet these jade merchants." Zi Baifeng stood up and said. It seems that without giving them any clues, they really don't know that Lord Ma has three eyes!  "I'll go too!" Yan Laowu said so much, actually just to let Zi Baifeng make an idea. Now that Zi Baifeng is going to meet the jade merchant, Yan Laowu will naturally follow him  Not only Yan Laowu is going, but also all the other villagers are going after hearing Zi Baifeng¡¯s plan.  Speaking of which, Xiayan Village was very proud during this period, and every villager became arrogant. It was really not the style of Xiayan villagers to be so arrogant. They all took longbows and machetes, and they didn¡¯t look like they were going to negotiate.  , but seemed to be going to cause trouble.  Without Zi Baifeng opening his mouth, Yan Laowu took action and drove these people away. Liu Lie and Li wanted to go, but Zi Baifeng didn't take them. In fact, if he hadn't wanted to find someone familiar with the situation, Zi Baifeng would have  If he really planned to go and meet these people alone, no one would get in his way.  The koi cloud boat traveled hundreds of miles in an instant. Zi Baifeng rode out of the moat pier on Ta Xue. Yan Laowu walked aside to lead the way. After a while, he pointed ahead and said: "Those jade merchants are in Hu Ji now."  "Where is the trading company?" Zi Baifeng raised his head and saw a "Collecting Jade" flag hanging next to the former secretary. Now there was no wind, and the flag was hanging weakly. In front of the flag, there was an old flatbed truck parked.  , there was a young man on the flatbed truck with his head curled up and taking a nap.  When he saw that man, Yan Laowu was so angry that he shouted: "Yan Dafu!" and ran into Hu Ji.  The boy who was shrinking his neck on the flatbed truck was startled. When he saw Yan Laowu rushing towards him, he thought he was coming for him. He almost peed his pants in fright: "Fifth Master! Don't blame me, it was all my father's idea."  "Who knew that Yan Laowu ignored him at all, turned around and rushed into the Huji, grabbed a man and shouted angrily: "I won't beat you to death!" Zi Baifeng followed him calmly.  He got off his donkey in front of Hu Ji, patted the frightened young man on the shoulder, put the reins in his hand, and walked in with his hands behind his back.  On the counter, a wooden box similar to the one in the Xiayan Village Ancestral Hall has been moved out and placed on the counter. Yan Dafu is opening the box and intends to take out the jade inside.  As soon as the box is opened, you can see the jade stones piled together inside. There are probably fewer jade stones in Yancun Village than in Yancun. The box is a bit smaller, but there are still more than a hundred jade stones inside.  "Yan Dafu!" Yan Laowu roared, making Yan Dafu tremble and subconsciously closed the box. A middle-aged steward standing behind the counter reached into the box and was suddenly stuck by the box.  He held up his hand and let out a loud cry: "You are howling in mourning!" "Five Uncle Wu" Seeing Yan Laowu come in, Yan Dafu trembled, turned around with a smile, and said: "I  I justjust" There were four or five men standing next to them, all villagers of Yan Village. When they saw Yan Laowu coming in, their faces turned red. When they wanted to sell jade, they were  Yan Laowu scolded them. Unexpectedly, as soon as Yan Laowu left, they carried the box out of the village.  "Fifth Uncle, don't be angry." A thin man with a smiling face stepped forward and said, "There is nothing we can do. The things left by our ancestors are nothing compared to human lives" "Get out of here.  "Open!" Yan Laowu was furious when he saw this man, "You're the bastard who has been fooling your brother into selling jade all day long. I'll beat you to death!" Yan Laowu slapped him over!  , spinning the man in a circle and hitting his head on the counter with a thud.  "Uncle Wu!" Seeing Yan Laowu beating someone, and the beating was his own brother, Yan Dafu couldn't sit still. "If you don't want to sell jade, what do you think we should do? Erlao just means well  " "You you" Seeing that Yan Dafu actually spoke for Yan Ergao, Yan Laowu became even more angry, "How dare you meet your ancestors when you get to the spring?" "How can your ancestors?  Can we eat it? Can our ancestors let us have enough to eat?" Yan Erzi was helped up by several villagers, still grinning there.  Yan Laowu saw that Yan Dafu was also scratching his head, and felt that his heart was filled with anger. Last time, he persuaded him with sincerity for so long, but all his emotional words fell on deaf ears!  Yan Laowu took a breath, forced to suppress his violent temper, and said: "Dafu, do you remember what I told you? You are still young and have just become a clan elder. You don't know how to be a clan elder. What do you think now?  Life can't go on anymore. In fact, in the past years, there were many things that were worse than this year. We old brothers supported each other and came here. If you think you will starve to death without food now, let me tell you.  , there is a starving person in Yan's Ninth Village, I, Yan Laowu, will save your life! This jade really cannot be sold. The ancestors left this box of jade, not for us to sell, but for us to give us a Dinghai Shenzhen.  Ah! As long as I have this box of jade, I will always feel confident. " "It's easy for you to go to Yancun now,"?Money and food, do you know our suffering?  "Yan Erzi was still confused over there, and several other villagers quickly pulled him away. They were also struggling and hesitating in their hearts. Sell. Or not to sell. It was hard to decide. Zi Baifeng walked in, but  He stood aside without saying a word. He was still wearing a green shirt, just like a young student who came to see the fun. When he saw Yan Laowu trying to persuade Yan Dafu, he just shook his head and said nothing.
