Chapter 98 Seeing the Wasteland

Seeing Uncle Shen's posture, Shen Jianwan knew that he was a sincere suggestion, which was also a common judgment of good crops, but she had her own ideas.

"Second uncle, Awan knows what you mean, but I have long been optimistic about this wasteland. Although it is a little barren, it is close to home and big enough. It only needs two taels of silver and one acre, not to mention the top three. Yearly without paying taxes.

So Ah Wan wanted to work hard so that in the future, there would be no shortage of food and drink at home.Don't worry, I definitely bought it with an idea, and I won't take any risky things. "

Second Uncle Shen wanted to say something, but was pinched by Second Aunt Shen next to him, "My child is his father, sister Wan has her own reasons for saying so, do you see how bad she has been doing these days, so you Put your heart back in your belly."

After finishing, he patted Shen Jianwan on his chest and said, "Don't worry, sister Wan, this wasteland is hard to open, and Second Aunt, we are here to help you, just as the work in the field is almost over.

In the future, let your second uncle continue to take care of the land, and the second aunt and your distant cousin will come to help you open the land. "

Shen Jianwan couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, "Okay, this place is huge. The wages I pay to cousin Jie are [-] cents a day, and if you two come to work, you will also pay [-] cents a day."

"Ha, this pays back wages? No, no, what's the relationship between our two families? It counts as wages to make a living." Second Aunt Shen waved her hands again and again.

"Second Aunt, don't refuse first. As the saying goes, brothers and sisters settle accounts, it's okay to help out occasionally. It's not a matter of a day or two to open up wasteland. Naturally, you have to calculate the salary, otherwise Awan won't be able to call you in vain.

And cousin Jie, he still has to rely on this salary to pay back my 80 taels of silver. "

Shen Jie was stunned when he heard the words, and couldn't help interjecting, "Ah Wan, are you going to ask me to reclaim 80 taels of silver?"

"Otherwise?" Shen Jianwan asked rhetorically.

Shen Jie felt bitter in his mouth, "No... no, this... these twenty cents a day, 80 taels, when will I have to work?
Let me do the math... twenty taels a day, six hundred taels a month, only seven taels and two hundred taels a year, the 80 taels is worth ten... 11 years! "

When it was calculated that it would take 11 years to pay off the debt of 80 taels of silver, Shen Jie couldn't speak fluently.

This is the rhythm of going from an eighteen-year-old boy to a 30-year-old bearded man? !

"Yes, Cousin Jie didn't expect you to learn arithmetic very well." Shen Jianwan couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw that it didn't take him much time to understand the account.

You must know that you are using the arithmetic of the era of Invincible Tianzun, and the speed is not comparable to the arithmetic of this time.

And Shen Jie's speed is almost half her speed, which is comparable to most of the accountants in this dynasty.

However, at this time, Shen Jie couldn't listen to the praise. Now he was shocked by the fact that it would take at least 11 years to pay off his debts, "It's useless, so what if you understand it, poor old... I can only throw my years here. No, I want to take it easy."

Saying that, he squatted down to the ground and picked up a piece of hay to draw a circle, as if not to disturb him and let him be quiet.

Shen Jianwan saw that he couldn't help laughing, and continued to make up for him, "Cousin Jie, you are wrong, it is too ideal to think that you can pay off the debt in 11 years with only this wasteland."

"What?" I heard that 11 years is considered short, and Shen Jiemao exploded, even everyone gave him sympathetic looks.

But Shen Jianwan didn't seem to see his collapse, and continued to count his fingers: "Well, first of all, you can't go to work every day, you can earn twenty cents a day, you must rest.

Besides, there are so many wastelands for you to open for more than ten years in a row.

So you can't pay off the 11 taels of silver in 80 years with this wasteland alone. "

Hearing that Shen Jie's face couldn't be worse, "So does this mean that I have to be on this gambling debt for the rest of my life?"

Seeing it, Shen Jianwan finally said earnestly: "Almost, that's why everyone said that gambling kills people.

Cousin Jie, do you still dare to gamble in the future? Now it's just that you may have to work hard for a lifetime, and you may not be able to save your life next time.

Think about it, if I didn't come back in time this time, and I happened to have 80 taels of silver in my hand, you might all be..."

Having said that, Shen Jianwan stopped talking, and it is better to say only half of some words.

Sure enough, when Shen Jie heard this, he shuddered with fright as soon as he thought about his possible fate.

At this time, he finally realized the horror of gambling like never before, raised his hands and said repeatedly: "No, no, your cousin Jie hasn't lived enough."

Seeing that the person finally woke up, Shen Jianwan was temporarily satisfied, and then continued: "That's good, Cousin Jie, you are the smartest and definitely won't do stupid things like gambling again.

Well, first, give Awan a count of how much wasteland there is here? "

"I don't count, I figured it out, it's still not the same, I have to open up wasteland, it's boring..."

Before he finished speaking, Aunt Shen slapped him on the forehead, "You stinky boy is going to die, why did you talk to Sister Wan? That's your creditor. Do you have any self-consciousness towards your creditor?"

Shen Jie saw that his old mother was going to get angry again, and I also looked at him with "you continue to do it" eyes, and stood up in an instant, and it really counted.

"I count, I can't count, what's so difficult about it, old..."

Shen Jie said that it was really embarrassing for him to slip away during this period of time. Seeing Uncle Shen's eye knife coming in again, he quickly changed his words, "It's about a mile from your yard to the back mountain, from this wasteland. It’s probably more than a mile from the riverside inside, and a rough calculation is… about three to four hundred acres, right?”

"That's right! How did you figure it out, cousin Jie?" After this test, Shen Jianwan was really shocked. It seems that this kid can not only do arithmetic, but also logically understand.

"What's so difficult about this? I don't want to walk the back mountain road too many times. Usually when I'm bored, I just calculate in my mind how many steps to walk on this road. After a long time, I will naturally know how long it is."

Shen Jianwan was convinced again when he heard the words, "I can't believe that Cousin Jie, you are not very good at studying, and you are really good at arithmetic. Have you ever thought about making a living with this skill?"

Hearing that this thing can still make a living, Shen Jie was surprised, "It can still make a living?"

"Of course, has Mr. Accountant heard of it?"

"Can I compare to Mr. Accountant in this matter?" Shen Jie looked incredulous.

"It's about the same. Many accountants may not be able to match the speed of your calculations, but the accountants are also literate. Unfortunately, cousin Jie, you don't seem to know much."

"Then... Then am I still in time to read?"

Knowing that he might be able to be the accountant, and thinking that the accountant would sit in the shop and make plans, and that he would have a monthly silver collar every month without wind and rain, Shen Jie was all refreshed.

Second Uncle Shen, Second Aunt Shen and the others just listened to it all the way. From Shen Jianwan's mouth, they knew that Shen Jie was so talented in arithmetic that he might even be faster than the accountant.

Second Aunt Shen now has a hundred convictions on Shen Jianwan.

When I think of my old sister Chen's family, it is because her husband Zhang Youyin is the cashier of the grocery store in the town, so their family is one of the few wealthy families in the village, and my heart is even more hot.

Seeing it, he couldn't help but ask, "Yes, yes! Sister Wan, is it okay for this bastard to be the accountant and send him to the school for two years?"
