A penny stumped the hero. Now, the Li family is stumped by the distribution of more than 1,500 pennies.

Last time when Li Jing went to the town, he was not only in a jail time, but also had the last little money and grain from his family to be exchanged for. Later, in order to rescue him, the Li family was tricked by Wang Liang. Not only did he take the last sixty acres of land in his family to save Li, but he also lost the twenty acres of land in Wang's Blacksmith's family.

The Li family now has nothing except a courtyard. The last bit of food for Li Jing was used for Li Jing’s wedding ceremony yesterday. The current Li family has eight people, and they have lost the rice to the pot in a few days. At this time, more than 1,500 cents were spent, so how could the Li family take out the money?

Gui Niang was also very clear about the current situation of the Li family. She held Han's hand and said, "My grandma, my wife also has the golden hairpin, arm bracelets and bracelets for the dowry. I'll take it out and go to the old village chief's house for money."

Women in the Tang Dynasty basically had one or two sets of jewelry and rings. Rich families would have gems, pearls and jade, and red gold. Even ordinary people would have a few pieces of silver jewelry. Most of these were dowry prepared by women’s parents’ families, and some were even passed down from generation to generation, some were passed down from mother to daughter, and some were passed down from mother to daughter. These things were very precious and belonged to women’s private houses and their husbands had no right to take care of them. At this time, when Han saw that Gui Niang had just entered the school, he wanted to sell her dowry jewelry to the housekeeper, but was moved but refused to accept it.

"It's not your turn to sell jewelry. I have a few pieces of jewelry in my house. It was passed to me by Saburo's grandmother back then, and I would have to pass it to you in the future. Alas, now I have to sell it first and live through this level before talking about it."

Li Jing was both moved and guilty when he saw his sister-in-law asking for her jewelry.

I couldn't help but say, "My grandma, I have something to ask for my mother to agree to."

"If you have anything, just say it, and ask for it."

Li Jing said solemnly: "My son has already thought about it, I am going to enlist in the army."

Han and others were stunned for a moment and couldn't even speak.

"Mother!" Li Jing said seriously as never before: "Mother, eldest sister-in-law and second sister, and fourth sister-in-law, Wan'er, and Gui Niang. I have actually been thinking about this for a long time, but I don't come to get a kid today, so I plan to join the army myself."

Han held Li Jing's hand, "Son, how could you have such an idea? A good man is not a soldier, let alone you have read so many books. Although it is a hurdle now, we can still find a way to get over it. If it is really not possible, we can sell houses and jewelry, and we can all temporarily overcome this hurdle. You are a hurdle and delay the exam before. But as long as you calm down and review your homework, you will not be able to pass the exam. This year is almost November, which is missed, but the imperial examination is once a year. Now, you are preparing for the Beijing exam in October next year. As long as you pass the Jinshi, our family will be in a bright future."

Not only did Han think so, but the other sisters and sisters also think so. Even Gui Niang advised him to study hard to meet the imperial examination next year.

Li Jing smiled bitterly and shook his head. He said that although Li Jing's knowledge was not from the regular background of the imperial court and the central government, he also studied by himself seriously. His academic ability was still good. He received a letter of recommendation from the prefecture and county officials a few years ago and obtained the qualification to participate in the imperial examination. In terms of his talent, Li Jing believed that he would be sure to get a Jinshi exam for five or six points.

But when is it now? The imperial examinations of the Tang Dynasty were not only talented. The Tang Dynasty implemented the examinations without being famous, but also had to find the appreciation and guarantees of officials in the court in advance. The Tang Dynasty's court is extremely corrupt today. It is not easy for him to think that the single-plank bridge of the imperial examinations was astonishing as a small ordinary citizen.

What's more, even if he can pass the exam, Li Jing was not willing to take this path. Now it is the end of the Tang Dynasty, and next year it will be the great civilian rebellion initiated by Wang Xianzhi and Huang Chao. In a few years, even the emperor will have to flee the capital and run to Chengdu, central Shu.

In the late turbulent times, the real way out was not to enter the imperial examination, but to join the army. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, it was the world of warlords of all sizes.

"My mother, the world is getting chaotic now. As a civil servant, you can't even protect yourself. How can you protect your family? I have decided to join the army and become a general. I have to protect my Li family."

Although the Li family has been military generals for several generations, Han still hopes that his son can enter the imperial examination instead of being a military servant. However, after Li Jing brought out the urgent dilemma of the Li family, Han could only nod helplessly.

The Li family is too embarrassed now. Not only is the food bribe exhausted at present, but the Li family can't even get the 1,500-yuan monies. What's more, if Li Jing wants to participate in the imperial examination, he has to pay money to open up the joints of prefectures and counties and obtain recommendation letters from prefectures and counties. Then he has to go to Beijing early and visit officials in Beijing. How can the Li family bring out these money, gifts, etc.

"Son, I'm sorry for you, I've delayed your whole life." Han said crying.

Li Jing comforted Han a few more words and asked his two sisters-in-law and Gui Niang to go back first. Then he went directly to the home of the old village chief Wang in the east of the village. As soon as he entered the door, the Wang family was worried.

The head of Wang Lao Village is the first household in Wangli Village, and is even the richest man in Qingning Township. His family has thousands of acres of fertile land, and there are seven or eight cattle and horses. Many people in Wangli Village don’t have much land and they are still farming at his family. The Wang family has three large mansions connected together at the east end of the village, like a manor. In Chishan Town, the Wang family also opened a grain shop, which can be said to be a big family.

Village Chief Wang had been busy all his life, and two years ago he planned to hand over the family business to his eldest son to take care of it and enjoy the blessings of his own. As a result, there was an unexpected situation. When the eldest son of the Wang family was riding a boat from the Jianghuai River to transport rice, he was robbed by pirates at the sea. The cargo was robbed, and Wang was buried at the bottom of the sea.

The old village chief asked the second son to take over the family business, but the second son of the Wang family once competed with others in the brothel in the town, but accidentally offended the son of Cui Zhenjiang. As a result, the second son of the Wang family was beaten half to death by Cui Zhenjiang's son. After carrying it back, he saved his life, but became disabled and half paralyzed. The old village chief had only two sons, one died and one was disabled at once. Although the remaining two houses had sons, the eldest of the grandsons was only fourteen or five years old, and they were not yet mature. In recent years, the Li family's agriculture was half managed by the old man and half managed by the Wang family's girls.

Village Chief Wang's daughter was only twenty-five or six years old. She had left the palace ten years ago and married the son of the owner of a cloth shop in the county town. Unfortunately, the man was not a lucky person. He died just a few years after his marriage, but he had not left his son. Her husband died two years ago, and her parents-in-law died one after another. The family members of the husband's family came to the house and wanted to drive her out of marriage so that she could get her home and get her home. Later, she had two or three years of trouble, but in the end she didn't know how to negotiate. She divided her husband's family's property into two, and half of it was returned to her. The other half was her, and the family members of the husband's family were not allowed to come to her again.

Wang Yueying is very business-oriented. In the past few years, the Lifeng cloth shop business under her control has grown bigger and bigger, which has exceeded the scale of her husband's previous business. Now that the village chief Lao Wang is unable to manage the family business, Wang Yueying begins to help take charge of the Wang family's family business.

The Wang family is rich and very rich. But this time, the Wang family drew a pebble dyed ink. The village chief Wang had already left the war and could not walk, and the grandsons in the family were still young. The only man Ding was a disabled person lying on the bed.

Just now, the village chief Wang had called several village heads in his family and tenants from Wang's family fields, and asked to ask someone to join the army on his behalf, but none of them were willing to agree. He offered several conditions, but no one was willing to accept it.

"Who is willing to take out twenty acres of land for my family? Who is willing to give him twenty acres of land? Who is willing to go!" Seeing that the wife agreed, the old village chief had to grit his teeth and once again said a very tempting price.

"I do!" A clear voice sounded outside the hall, causing everyone to look at each other.
