Liu Paner thought for a while and chuckled, "I have grown too many peppers this year. I can't guarantee that the peppers can still cost thirty cents per pound as last year, but I can guarantee that 20 cents per pound. If it is lower than this price, I will buy them at a price of 20 cents per pound. Can such a promise make everyone feel at thirty cents per pound?"

Li Erlangzi looked at him and spoke roughly, but was very happy. When he heard this, he smiled, "That's great, then I, Li Erlangzi, are the first to sign up. I want 20 acres of pepper seedlings. But my family has no money now, so they are all used to build houses and shops. I can write you an IOU. When I sell peppers, I will pay a lot of money, and I will give it to you with the capital and profit."

Others were also short of money and wanted to go to Liu Paner on credit, but they were embarrassed to say it.

Liu Paner nodded and said with a smile: "I understand everyone's difficulties, okay, you can start with credit and write the IOU. There is no need for everyone to pay interest, just give it according to the original price."

Then what are you waiting for? Register now!

Village Chief Li smiled and said, "Original Qing's family, my family's 18 acres of dry land will be recorded for me."

"My family has eight acres of land."

"My family has ten acres of land."

·······

Everyone who came to chat registered the amount of dry land at home on the spot.

Those who later settled and opened land had few paddy fields, and most of them were dry fields. These people were more active, hoping to make more money by planting peppers and live a good life in Jixiang Village.

The other people in the village who didn't come here to chat, and after hearing about it the next day, they hurried over to register.

Mrs. Tang was familiar with the people in the village. At this time, she heard that the pepper production was high and the price was also high, so she immediately thought about it.

"Officials, we have five acres of land in the pig farm. I am going to plant peppers." Mrs. Tang discussed with her husband in the evening.

Tang Yunshan thought for a while, "Madam, you have to raise pigs and grow peppers, it's so hard."

Mrs. Tang felt that this was a great opportunity to make money. She sat up from the bed and patted her husband on the back, "I am not tired from being in charge. If I don't make money, Mrs. Dere wouldn't tell the villagers at all. We just happened to open the land, and of course we made money by planting. Not only did I plant it on the wasteland I had built, but I also had to grow chili in our yard."

Hearing this, Tang Yunshan frowned and sat up from the bed, "There is only a little bit in the small yard at home, how can I have time to plant peppers?"

Mrs. Tang retorted, "Our yard is not small, with half an acre of land. Let's leave a road beside us to walk. Other places, I will dig it up to grow peppers in the yard when I wake up tomorrow morning."

Tang Yunshan was amused and crying, "If you do this, others will come to our house. When the pepper seedlings in the yard are opened, will they be laughed at by someone?"

Mrs. Tang thought about it and finally had a firm attitude, "Even if someone was laughed at, I don't care. The head of the house, listen carefully to me, and I'll find out clearly. The lady said that in the future, she would buy chili peppers at a minimum of 20 cents per kilogram, and this pepper can produce one or two thousand kilograms per kilogram. Let's calculate it based on one thousand kilograms, twenty cents per kilogram, which is twenty taels of silver. Our yard has half an acre, and it can be sold for ten taels of silver if you plant peppers."

"You think about it. Add the few acres of land we have opened in the pig farm. We don't have to rent these two years, all of them are ours. This is hundreds of taels of silver. With this money, we can not only buy the yard we live in now, but also add our wages, maybe we can buy another yard."

"Da Zhuang is not young and has a yard. Even if we are from other places, we can tell Da Zhuang a good wife. Er Zhuang is still young, so let's save money to buy a yard. When we get married, we will live separately, and we will be quiet."

When Tang Yunshan heard his wife forget about this, he thought it made sense.

Although face is important, money is even more important.

Ten taels of silver are equivalent to his five-month salary, so of course he has to earn it.

Tang Yunshan nodded, "Okay, I will work with you tomorrow to turn over the ground in the yard and plant all the peppers at that time."

Early the next morning, just as they were turning the ground in the yard, Sun Daqian's wife, the next door, came to borrow some oil and salt.

Madam Sun's eyes turned and asked curiously: "Director, why did you dig it up? Could it be that you still want to grow a vegetable garden in the yard?"

Mrs. Tang has no good impression of this Mrs. Sun.

Since the grandson of Mrs. Sun came to Jixiang Town with her husband and in-laws and lived next door, she came to Mrs. Tang's house every few days to borrow oil and salt.

After borrowing, I borrowed almost three times, and I didn’t pay back twice, and occasionally I paid back once.

Mrs. Tang smiled, "My two sons are old, and I will use money everywhere in the future. There is a little open space in the yard, so we are planning to plant chili peppers. Even if we can't sell it, can't we still eat it? By the way, my brothers and sisters of the Sun family come here early in the morning. Do you have to repay half a bottle of oil I borrowed from my house the day before yesterday?"

When Mrs. Sun heard this, she looked embarrassed, "Sister-in-law of the Tang family, I still have something to do, so I won't delay your family digging the ground and growing vegetables!"

After saying that, Madam Sun seemed to be chasing her, and turned around and ran away.

Seeing Madam Sun leave, Tang Yunshan lowered his voice and said, "Don't be as knowledgeable as her, so as not to be hated by her!"

When Mrs. Tang heard this, she snorted, "As the saying goes, it's not difficult to borrow and repay it again! The Sun family's younger brother and sister asked others to borrow things, but they didn't want to repay it. I didn't want to repay it."

"Isn't this a difficult family?" Tang Yunshan said embarrassedly, "It's not a virtuous marriage, my brother Sun is also very unlucky! For the sake of Brother Sun, don't be as knowledgeable as her."

Mrs. Tang rolled her eyes, "Their parents-in-law can find work in the village. Some of the other women do farm work like me, and some go to dyeing workshops to work as female workers. Why don't you make money? My wife, Sun, is at home and doesn't want to come out to work."

Tang Yunshan looked puzzled, "Reasonably, Brother Sun's salary is the same as mine, two taels of silver per month, plus Uncle Sun, Aunt Sun, you can earn more than one tael of silver per month. You don't have to pay the rent, it's enough for them to spend money. Why is Mrs. Sun still borrowing things everywhere?"

Mrs. Tang leaned into her husband's ear and said, "This is not simple. Do you want to save money for private money? I guess her parents-in-law bought vegetables, rice and flour for Mrs. Sun, but she saved it up. If she had nothing to cook, she would just borrow it everywhere."

When Tang Yunshan heard this, he was immediately angry, "How can this be done? Didn't my brother Sun lose all his face? No, I'll tell you now."
