Li Dabao showed pride, "Almost every household in our village grows chili peppers, and the planting method is learned from our family. The yield is particularly high. It is as high as two or three thousand kilograms, and one acre of land can collect two or three hundred taels of silver."

Liu smiled, "Yes, the price is very high. By next year, more plants will be planted. Even if you sell ten cents per pound, you can still get twenty or thirty taels of silver."

"Miss Tang, do you know? I planted five cents of peppers in the yard and collected 1,220 kilograms. This is 120 taels of silver. After selling it, I came over to give the house money that day, and bought two large yards."

"Miss Sun, who is next door to his house, used to mock her for growing peppers at home, which made it dirty. She also despised his wife for feeding pigs too dirty and renting land to grow too tiring. Now, seeing that she has earned thousands of taels of silver, her intestines are so blue that she regrets her intestines are blue."

Li Dabao smiled and nodded, "These people come to join my father. Some are hardworking and some are lazy. But in our village, as long as you work hard, you can get rich."

Because Jixiang Town grows so many chili peppers and sells them for so much money, almost every household has thousands of taels of silver.

Like Village Chief Li, there is a lot of land at home, and he planted 30 acres and sold thousands of taels of silver.

It is precisely because of the wealth of Jixiang Town that Hengtong Money House rented three shops in Jixiang Town and opened a branch.

Because it is inconvenient to carry the money when you go out, many people are willing to store the money in Hengtong Money House.

However, some money houses have gone bankrupt. Although Hengtong Money House has existed for many years, it cannot guarantee that nothing will happen. Therefore, most people are still willing to hide their money at home.

For example, Village Chief Li buried two thousand taels of silver under the pig food trough in his backyard; and put two thousand taels of silver in the cellar...

Of course, some silver notes of large and small denominations were also saved, which was convenient for travel.

Jixiang Town is already very rich, and this year it sold peppers and rice seeds, which cost a lot of money. Some people started to float again and even started to gather to gamble again.

However, they dare not gamble in Jixiang Town.

I often take advantage of the opportunity to go out and go to other villages or counties to gamble.

Not only that, some people think that people in Jixiang Town are rich, that is, the fat meat on the chopping board, and if you don’t take a bite, you will feel like you’re losing money. If you set up a bet in Jixiang Town, you will definitely make more money.

Zhao Laolai used to cheat in other places. When he learned that Jixiang Town had money, he came to Jixiang Town in the name of visiting friends.

Old Man Zhou has been even more proud recently. He has planted a lot of peppers before and earned thousands of taels of silver, and his life is enjoyable. His two sons and daughter-in-law used to dislike growing peppers, but now he learned that the peppers have been sold for money, so he almost took the initiative to please and fulfill his filial piety.

However, it's too late, I won't give these turtle sons and grandchildren.

Just as Old Man Zhou was drinking, eating fennel beans, and chatting with everyone, Old Lai Zhao came in.

"Brother Zhou, my face is full of redness recently, I must have become rich." Zhao Lao Lai smiled and sat in front of Old Man Zhou.

Old Man Zhou knew the background of Zhao Lao Lai, that he was a gambler, and his gambling skills were pretty good.

However, Jixiang Town is not allowed to gamble, so Zhao Laolai must have wanted to open an underground casino with him.

"Brother Zhao, come from afar, drink and drink." Old Man Zhou smiled and threw a corner of silver to the waiter in the store. "Go to the braised meat shop to cut more, Brother Zhao and I will not return until we get drunk."

"Yes, the boss." The waiter responded and took the money to buy braised pork.

Zhao Laolai looked around and felt that this Jixiang Town was indeed different from other places. The people here were very rich, but not ostentatious.

After a while, the braised pork came over, and Zhao Laolai and Old Man Zhou drank a lot of wine. Until all the guests in the tavern left, only Zhao Laolai was left.

Old Man Zhou chuckled, "Brother Zhao, the place at home is not big and there is no room to live in. I have booked a house for you at Jixiang Inn, you can live there any way."

Zhao Laolai bowed, "Brother Zhou, you are open and bright. Then I will stay here for a while, but I don't know where the inn is, so you can take me there."

Old Man Zhou knew that it was Lao Lai Zhao who wanted to talk to him privately, so he couldn't escape, so he had to follow him, "Brother Zhao drank a lot, let's go, I'll support you."

In this way, the two walked outside.

It was pitch black outside and people patrol from time to time.

Lao Lai Zhao didn't go around in circles and asked in a low voice: "Brother Zhou, set up a place?"

Old Man Zhou shook his head and sighed, "I'm old, I don't want to do these things anymore. I've opened a tavern and planted a land. I've made a lot of money. I don't want to do these evil ways anymore. It won't take long, Brother Zhao, you've made a lot of money over the years. You should settle down if you buy a house and buy a property."

Of course, Zhao Lao Lai would not tell Old Man Zhou the truth. He had bought a house and bought land, and married several women, and had several sons and daughters. However, because he was unethical in his work and was worried about being retaliated, he never told outsiders.

Zhao Laolai smiled, "Why do you care about so much if you have wine today? Anyway, I'm fine if I live a comfortable life, and it's not me to laugh at you. Even if you marry again, you'll have to marry a young widow. It's fine, it's fine if you marry a widow, but you even marry an old widow with a grandson."

Old Man Zhou smiled embarrassedly, "I don't have the spirit of Brother Zhao's dragon horse, and I can't stand it. This Jixiang Town is different from other places. If you don't open a casino in this place, you will definitely be discovered and the outcome is very miserable."

Zhao Laolai smiled, raised his eyebrows, and didn't care, "Of course this Jixiang Town is different, because people here are stupid and have a lot of money, and many of them are poor and rich, so it's best to cheat. As for not allowing gambling, our gambling shop is open underground, who knows?"

Old man Zhou hesitated and opened a gambling shop to make money.

At the same time, he also knew that people in Jixiang Village and Jixiang Town almost had money. In the past, they were refugees who fled famine and were poor in their hometowns.

No one dares to gamble in the village now because there are people in the village, and those timid people dare not gamble.

Seeing that Old Man Zhou was hesitant, Zhao Laolai continued to work hard, "Besides, we are in Bujixiang Town, so let's go to the nearby Shitou Village. There are many caves there, just find a cave and sort it out. If someone comes and shouts, he can run away from other cave entrances."

Hearing Zhao Laolai's words, Old Man Zhou rubbed his hands, "Brother Zhao, please let me think about it. After all, I am so old and I am still settled here. If the mayor knows that it would be light to drive me out of Jixiang Town, and maybe I will be arrested and sent to jail."

Zhao Laolai sneered, "Brother Zhou, are you too brave? Where did Zhou Dadan go before? I heard that every household has thousands of taels of silver in Jixiang Town, and Village Chief Li's family even has five or six thousand taels of silver, which is so rich. If we do it, we can share tens of thousands of taels of silver by each of us, we will stop."
