Just to be on the safe side.

Jiang Yun's trip to the city.

They did not bring the gold ingots to exchange for silver.

The reason for exchanging gold ingots for silver is...

It was because Jiang Yun didn't want to arouse the landlord's suspicion.

A farmer whose family had been farmers for generations, and who was born into a tenant farmer family.

It's already abnormal that there's money to be paid in compensation.

If gold ingots are used, even a fool would know there's something fishy going on.

"Let's wait two more months; the early rice has already been planted anyway."

"Going to give up land and vacate the tenancy at this time would be a huge loss."

Jiang Yun plans to finish harvesting this year's early rice before going to the landlord's house to return the land and get a refund for the rent.

His family rented a total of twelve mu of land.

The lease has seven years remaining.

The land was returned and the lease was terminated ahead of schedule, and the landlord was compensated with 84 taels of silver.

It's definitely better than continuing to farm for the landlord for another seven years.

If they continue to farm for the landlord, they will remain there until the lease expires.

So, for those twelve mu of land, half of all the crops were rented out, amounting to approximately 21 taels of silver per year.

Over the past seven years, that's 147 taels.

In contrast, those who returned the land and rent early received 84 taels of silver in compensation.

It is undoubtedly the best choice.

not to mention.

These were the silver coins used for compensation.

It was also stolen by Jiang Yun from the robbers.

I don't feel bad using it at all.

……

On the way into the city this time.

Jiang Yun continued to take the small path.

We passed by the place where the robbers' bodies were buried last time.

He even went to take a look.

There were no abnormalities.

The burial site is now overgrown with weeds.

No one will know that there are two corpses underground.

"Even if it's discovered, no one will know it was me."

Jiang Yun glanced at it and then quickly left.

Once he arrived outside the county town, he emerged from the woods and took the main road into the town.

After entering the city.

He went straight to the teahouse where he did business.

At this moment, in the teahouse.

There were many guests.

Li Shuzheng is reciting "Journey to the West" with great emotion.

His daughter, Li Xiue, served tea and water with a smile on her face.

They seem overwhelmed.

"Sir..."

When Li Xiu'e saw another guest coming in, she went forward to greet him.

Upon discovering it was Jiang Yun, he was overjoyed.

"This humble woman greets Young Master Jiang."

Li Xiu'e bowed gracefully, a blush rising on her pretty face.

"Business seems to be quite good?"

"Thanks to your good fortune, young master, there are indeed more guests than before."

Li Xiu'e led Jiang Yun to the best seat.

Then they brought out tea, fruit, and pastries.

"Young master, please enjoy your meal. It's free."

Li Xiue said very politely.

These teas and pastries would cost at least 50 coins in a teahouse.

Thank you.

Jiang Yun didn't stand on ceremony.

They are business partners, after all.

There's nothing wrong with coming in for free tea once a month.

I was drinking tea.

Jiang Yun heard a customer in the teahouse raising his arms and shouting.

"Why are they still causing havoc in Heaven! What happens next? We want to hear the rest of the story!"

"That's right, I'm tired of hearing that!"

"Is there any follow-up? Old Li, don't lie to us."

……

Li Shu paused his storytelling.

They quickly reassured the guests.

"In a few more days, you'll find out what happens next. Please wait a little longer."

Because we don't know what happens next.

Li Shu couldn't just make things up.

This month.

Every time he finished telling the story of the havoc in the Heavenly Palace, he would say, "To find out what happens next, stay tuned for the next installment."

It came to an abrupt end time and time again.

This made the listeners impatient.

"They always say 'wait a few days,' but it's been half a month already!"

"Old Li, we've come here to hear Journey to the West."

"What kind of run-down teahouse dares to bring up a book without an ending!"

The guests wouldn't let it go.

Li Shu could only manage a bitter smile.

He searched for his daughter in the teahouse.

She saw her daughter serving Jiang Yun tea.

His face immediately lit up with a smile.

He reassured the guests once again.

"Please be patient, everyone!"

"I will definitely tell you the next story tomorrow."

"If I break my promise, the teahouse will be open to the public free of charge for three days."

Hearing Li Shu make such a promise.

The guests then gave up.

"Young master, you've arrived just in time."

Li Xiu'e looked at Jiang Yun helplessly.

Like Li Shu, she longed for Jiang Yun to appear every day.

"How profitable is the teahouse this month?"

Jiang Yun got straight to the point.

"Please wait a moment, young master."

Upon hearing this, Li Xiu'e quickly fetched the account book and handed it to Jiang Yun for review.

On the ledger.

The teahouse's revenue for the previous month is recorded in detail.

A month later.

The total profit was eighteen taels.

Most of the profits came from Li Shu's interpretation of Journey to the West.

"It's alright, let me tell you what happened next."

Jiang Yun nodded.

The ledger is authentic and there is no falsification.

This is a small teahouse, with a minimum charge of 20 coins.

The profit per month is around 10 to 30 taels.

"Thank you for your trust, young master."

Li Xiu'e performed a deep bow.

Finally, we can know the story after the havoc in Heaven!

Jiang Yun began writing the subsequent plot.

A meticulous and thorough demeanor.

Li Xiu'e was quite engrossed in watching it.

this time.

Jiang Yun only left behind an ending.

Everything else was written down from memory.

The story includes episodes such as "Three Battles with the White Bone Demon", "The True and False Monkey King", and "The Kingdom of Women".

That's enough for Li Shu to single out and talk about.

Telling you so much information at once.

Jiang Yun wrote from morning to afternoon.

And it's only the general plot.

When telling a story, you have to see how Li Shu embellishes it.

"Young master, you are truly a divine being!"

After reading the sequel to Jiang Yunshu's story, Li Shu was amazed.

He felt that Jiang Yun must be a deity who traveled to the Western Continent.

Only a true deity could have depicted such a story.

"It's getting late." Jiang Yun finished her business, stood up to say goodbye, "Farewell."

"Young master, here is your money."

Seeing that Jiang Yun was about to leave, Li Xiu'e hurriedly gave him six taels of silver.

"Too many."

Jiang Yun didn't gain any advantage either.

Of the 18 taels of profit, he takes 30%, which is 5 taels and 4 mace.

Earning 5.4 taels a month while doing nothing is incredibly comfortable.

After all, farming for half a year only yields an income of ten taels of silver after paying rent.

After returning the extra silver given to him by Li Xiu'e, Jiang Yun left the teahouse without looking back and went home out of the city.

Outside the teahouse.

Li Xiu'e and Li Shu watched Jiang Yun leave.

"Stop looking, they've all disappeared."

Li Shu sighed inwardly.

He could see right through his daughter's thoughts.

"oh."

Li Xiu'e reluctantly withdrew her gaze and turned to enter the teahouse.

sunset.

Jiang Yun returned home.

I easily earned 5 taels and 4 mace of silver today.

Including the 105 taels of silver stolen from the robbers, and the remaining 20 taels of silver at home.

Jiang Yun now has a total of 130 taels of silver.

There is this amount of silver.

They relinquished their land and abandoned their tenant farming.

Anything is enough.

After the early rice harvest was completed, another 9 taels of silver were deposited into the account.

So the total is 140 taels of silver.

Even if they don't exchange the gold ingots for silver.

The remaining silver was enough to compensate the landlord.

……

Late June.

The time has come to rush to harvest early rice and plant late rice.

All the tenant farmers and herdsmen got busy.

Jiang Yun was preparing to give up his farmland and leave the tenant farm, so he wouldn't have to rush to plant late rice.

So he didn't hire any temporary workers this time.

They simply asked eight-year-old Jiang Dexian to go to the fields to help harvest rice.

Let him experience the hardships of life.

Back then, Jiang Yun started working in the fields when she was only six years old.

Under the scorching sun, Jiang Dexian was sweating profusely.

He was bending over, cutting rice.

He accidentally cut his finger with the sickle, and blood gushed out.

Wow~

"Father, it hurts..."

He dropped his sickle and burst into tears.

Jiang Yun glanced at the wound on Jiang Dexian's finger and said sternly, "Don't cry! A man doesn't easily shed tears. What kind of behavior is this, crying and sobbing?"

"Yes, Father."

Jiang Dexian wiped away her tears.

He endured the pain in his fingers, picked up the sickle, and continued cutting rice.

Jiang Yun was very pleased with Jiang Dexian's performance.

At the same time, a line of small golden characters appeared before his eyes—
