Chapter 86 Dividing the Silver
“Grandpa Zhang, how do you plan to divide the two hundred taels of silver?” Lu Qing asked.
"Of course it will be divided equally. Every household in the village will receive the same amount." Uncle Zhang said matter-of-factly.
Lu Qing nodded.
As the saying goes, we should not worry about scarcity but inequality. The most fearful thing about money is favoring one and favoring others, so dividing it equally is the best way.
"However, it is not easy to exchange this banknote into silver." Uncle Zhang was a little confused.
Lu Qing thought about it and understood what the old man meant.
If you want to exchange silver notes for money, you must go to a bank.
Yinzhuang can only be found in the county government.
As for asking the villagers to take their banknotes to the city to exchange for silver, not to mention that no one dared, even Lu Qing would not be relieved.
The county government is so far away, and with such a large amount of money, if someone is interested in it, whether he can come back safely is still a question.
"I was negligent, Grandpa Zhang, please give me the banknotes." Lu Qing said, "I'll go to Mr. Ma tomorrow to exchange the banknotes for silver."
"This is best." Upon hearing this, Uncle Zhang immediately handed the two banknotes to Lu Qing.
"I will give you the silver tomorrow."
After Uncle Zhang left, Lu Qing returned to the house and opened a small box, only to see a dazzling silver light inside, which was the box full of silver.
This box of silver is one of the gifts that Magu brought not long ago.
Last night, Magu led his men to search the Happy Village.
I don’t know how long it took Kuaihuozhai to save money before sending it to the headquarters. Anyway, Magu and the others have gained a lot.
After Ma Gu counted the items, he brought over what he thought belonged to Lu Qing.
Lu Qing couldn’t refuse, so he accepted.
Lu Qing started to take the silver from the box.
This box of silver in Ma Guzhao's costume is quite thoughtful, and it's basically all silver ingots.
The big one is ten taels, the small one is five taels.
Lu Qing took forty five-tael silver ingots directly from it, and almost all the small silver ingots in the box were taken out in one go.
Early the next morning, Lu Qing came to Uncle Zhang's house with the money.
“Grandpa Zhang.” Standing outside Zhang’s house, Lu Qing shouted.
"Ah Qing is here, come in quickly!"
Uncle Zhang couldn't sleep well last night and stayed at home when he got up in the morning without going anywhere, just because he was afraid that Lu Qing would not be at home when he came to see him.
It’s not that he is greedy and cares about the money, but that the money is what Lu Qing wants to distribute to everyone in the village. The matter is so important that he doesn’t dare to be careless.
Lu Qing carried the silver and entered the house with Uncle Zhang.
"Ah Qing, why are you here?"
It happened that Uncle Zhang's family, his two sons and his daughter-in-law were also at home.
Seeing Lu Qing come in, they all stood up and were very surprised.
Especially Uncle Zhang's two sons looked at Lu Qing with even more restrained expressions.
Yesterday when Han Wu and others came, they were all there, and happened to see with their own eyes how Lu Qing beat those evil men to death.
Hence, both of them now have some unspeakable awe for Lu Qing.
"I'm here to give you some money." Lu Qing said with a smile.
"Send money?"
Uncle Zhang's son and daughter-in-law are not sure why.
Lu Qing poured the silver ingots in the bag onto the table. The white silver light suddenly dazzled everyone in the room.
In the dull eyes of Uncle Zhang's son and daughter-in-law, Lu Qing said: "Grandpa Zhang, I have exchanged all the banknotes for silver. Here are forty silver ingots, each of which is five taels. You can take them and share them with everyone."
, I will gather everyone together to divide the money."
Uncle Zhang was also shocked by the pile of money, but he has lived for decades, and his determination is much better than that of his son and daughter-in-law, and he quickly came back to his senses.
"Dad, what's the difference?"
At this time, Uncle Zhang's eldest son finally reacted.
"A Qing said that he wanted to distribute the silver notes he got from those villains yesterday to everyone in the village. He exchanged these silver notes from Mr. Ma in Daji." Uncle Zhang explained.
"So much money, all divided?"
Uncle Zhang's sons and daughters-in-law were surprised.
"Stop talking nonsense, you two, hurry up and call everyone to the ancestral hall. Don't talk about dividing the money yet, just say that I have something to tell you." Uncle Zhang glared.
"Okay, I'll go now."
The two sons ran out quickly.
"Grandpa Zhang, I will not participate in the matter of dividing the money. You will be in charge."
Lu Qing stood up at this time, preparing to leave.
"How can this be done? The money is yours. What would it be like if you weren't there?" Uncle Zhang said quickly.
"It's okay, it's just a little money. Grandpa Zhang, don't be too nervous. Just share it with everyone as usual. I have important things to do later and have to go to Master, so I won't go there."
So it’s better not to show up.
Seeing Lu Qing say this, Uncle Zhang could only say: "Okay, since Old Doctor Chen has something urgent, you should go and do it first."
Uncle Zhang sighed when he saw Lu Qing leaving.
How could he not have guessed Lu Qing's reluctance to go to the ancestral hall? This child was thin-skinned and embarrassed to face the thanks of his uncles.
He didn't know how to persuade him about this kind of thing, so he had to let him go.
Uncle Zhang is still very prestigious in the village.
After hearing that he had something important to discuss, it didn’t take long for people in the village to gather at the ancestral hall one after another. Even those who were still working in the fields rushed back.
"Old Zhangtou, what's going on? You're so anxious to get everyone here."
When they arrived at the ancestral hall, the villagers were surprised when they saw that Uncle Zhang had called all the heads of households in the village over, thinking that something big had happened again.
An old man of the same generation as Uncle Zhang immediately shouted.
When other people heard this, they also became a little commotion.
After what happened yesterday, everyone was a little frightened, but they could no longer stand the fright.
"Don't be nervous. I'm calling everyone here this time because I have something good to announce."
Uncle Zhang shouted, signaling that everyone should not panic.
On the desk behind him, there was a cloth bag, which was so bulging that no one could see what was inside.
There is also a small scale and scissors beside it. I don’t know what they are used for.
"What's a good thing?"
Hearing that it was a good thing, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and asked quickly.
"Yesterday, didn't Ah Qing get some silver notes from the villains he beat to death, and then he decided to distribute most of them to everyone."
Uncle Zhang carefully poured out the silver ingots in the bag behind him.
"Here is the silver that Ah Qing went to exchange for, a total of two hundred taels. In our village, except Ah Qing's family, there are thirty-seven households in total. They are divided equally. Each household is divided into more than five taels of silver."
Everyone in the ancestral hall was stunned when they saw the large pile of white silver ingots.
After hearing what Uncle Zhang said, he couldn't help but burst into an uproar.
On the mountainside not far away, Lu Qing, who was heading to the small courtyard in the middle of the mountain, heard the excitement and smiled on his face.
