Grasp the farming script in the famous book

Roland only has 10 dollars in her possession, which has already made her the "richest man" in Tara - there are seventeen members of Tara, including four big men, no one is richer than her, and no one can take Draw more properties than this.

Now Tara is a poor place, and all the people living here are poor ghosts.

"It was the former supervisor of your family, Jonas Wilkerson, who held a grudge against your father's dismissal of him and was looking for an opportunity to retaliate."

"I heard that he has now sneaked into the Local Affairs Bureau and has the authority to approve taxes for various plantations."

Will took a trip to Jonesboro, a neighboring town, and reminded Roland when he came back.

"But you can't resist—because the South is the defeated party, and the plantation owners who used to pay taxes to the Southern government have no voting rights at all."

"And you are a woman."

"My God, why are these again?" Roland muttered depressingly.

Taxes, voting rights, women... Are these issues the most troublesome source of trouble in human history?Why don't these social conflicts change from the last plane to this plane?

Of course, this also indirectly proves that all the struggles she and her friends had in the previous plane were extremely necessary.

Roland paced back and forth in front of Will, from one end of the corridor to the other and back again.

Will eyed her curiously, as if he wasn't quite sure what ideas were going to come out of her pretty little brain.

"Have it!"

Roland suddenly thought of an idea - she also has a "universal card".

With this "universal card", can't she get together 300 dollars to save Tara from the imminent crisis?

She walked away from Will with a deliberate air of confidence, which aroused Will's curiosity.

"Universal card?"

When Roland mentioned this to Luna, the little cat was very surprised——

"Lan Lan, I thought you...you used it up when you went to the next plane?"

In the plane of Monte Cristo, in order to relieve the financial crisis of the Grand Theater, Roland almost used the universal card when buying and selling public bonds.

"No, I'm useless."

Roland clarified: "At that time, I mortgaged my diamond necklace and all my jewelry to a securities broker. What moved him at the time was that...he also had a daughter who was about the same age, and he always wanted a diamond of that quality."

The standard for her use of the "universal card" has been greatly reduced-the last time it was for the opera troupe debt of 28 francs, and now it has become a plantation tax of 300 US dollars.

Luna suddenly realized——

"No, Lan Lan, you can't use the 'Universal Card' now."

"why?"

When Roland heard it, he jumped up with a "whoosh".

"Because you are still in the 'transition period'."

The little cat spread out a pair of pink and tender paws, and explained helplessly.

"During the 'transition period', you can familiarize yourself with the environment of the plane, and you can also exert influence on the plane in various ways, but you cannot overturn the decisions made by previous players."

"Otherwise, you can't be regarded as taking over the difficult problems left by the previous players - at best, you can only be regarded as circumventing the difficult problems, which is cheating."

Roland: "Excessive words!"

"When the plane producer sent me this universal card, I should have realized that it is a cheating card!"

The cat's jewel-like cat eyes rolled around, as if trying to figure it out:

——Who is making the argument?

"Lan Lan, your previous contestant chose to solve this difficult problem in a very special way."

"And this difficult problem is an important hurdle in life that your character must go through - if you have not passed this necessary road, you will completely leave this plane. You are not participating in the plane of 'Gone with the Wind', you It's putting on another reality show like 'Scarlett O'Hara' or something..."

Mao Mao persuaded and persuaded, and finally persuaded Roland.

"Then let me see how the previous players solved this problem."

But once she finished listening to the little cat's explanation, she immediately refused loudly.

"No, absolutely not—"

Her footsteps were heavy, and she seemed to be stepping on Tara's corridor louder than Hao Jiale.

But it was strange to say that there were so many people living in the entire Tara manor, and no one dared to come out to persuade her at this time.

Everyone left her to struggle alone.

It seems that everyone naturally thinks that since Roland is the head of the family, she should take this responsibility.She was the only one who needed to come forward to solve Tara's tax problems.

Roland was very angry, and it seemed that she had also infected Scarlett's temper.

After experiencing so many planes, her anger rushed straight to her forehead for the first time, and her back molars were grinding. My heart is burning, and my eyes are shining.

"I get it, I get it all!"

Roland muttered to himself while pacing——

She understands now—

The players before her did not retire because they were "weak" or couldn't bear the difficult environment and conditions.

The desperation brought about by this $300 tax is the last straw that crushes the players.

Tara must be kept.It is the foundation of Scarlett Scarlett and the whole world of Scarlett Scarlett.

Only by keeping Tara can Scarlett continue to live in this world as "Scarlett" herself.

Otherwise, she would really become a rootless grass, forget her name, and not be Scarlett Scarlett.

But the question wasn't whether Tara could be kept—there must be a way to keep Tara.

The real problem is that the only way to solve this problem is that it conflicts with the moral standards in the players' hearts.

The last contestant, who came up with a way to save Tara, turned out to be "selling himself"——

"Lan Lan, listen to me, you first go to see Mr. Bai Ruide according to the original player's decision. When you meet Mr. Bai, your 'transition period' will be over, because that player also retired After that, everything is up to you. Neither I nor the plane will interfere with your decisions and choices."

"Okay! This time I admit it."

"However, Luna, remember it for me. This is something the producer didn't remind me in advance. When I finish this plane, I will settle accounts with them together."

Roland is such a person. She may be emotional for a while, but she will always regain her calmness and rationality immediately after venting a bit.

As for the object of her anger just now, it is not so much the secretive plane producer who never confesses, but the recurring social conflicts.

Luna didn't refuse to agree: "No problem, Lan Lan, I have already made a small black account for these things!"

Roland: ...

"Okay then, I'll go see that... what's the name of the gentleman?"

"Brad—"

Kitten and cat answered loudly.

It turned out that this desperate Miss Scarlett chose to tear off the velvet green curtain hanging on the window in the room, ready to make a beautiful new dress, and then went to Atlanta to seduce the man named Brad .

When it was Roland's turn, she glanced at the mossy green curtain—it looked familiar.

Isn't this the same curtain that hung on the dormitory window when she was in the girls' boarding school in the previous plane?

You guys really know how to make the best use of everything!

Roland tore off the green curtain and gestured around himself.The green fabric suits her very well, it makes her green eyes look as deep as emeralds, and it also makes her skin look fairer, and the freckles caused by hard work seem to be less obvious.

"As long as I can marry Ruett Brad, I will never be afraid of being poor again."

——Roland seemed to hear Miss Scarlett Scarlett say this to the mirror.

This Rhett... is clearly a rich man.

"The aftermath of war is often a rapid decline in people's moral sense."

Roland suddenly remembered the theory he had heard from nowhere.

Indeed... Only when you are on the scene can you understand the despair of struggling to survive.

Scarlett Scarlett's idea was to lock in a long-term meal ticket through marriage.

There are still more women in this society abandoning the most basic moral concepts and exchanging their bodies for food and shelter-if you really put aside the phenomenon and look at the essence, there is actually not much difference between these two behaviors.

One is long-term, with a single object; the other is short-term, with variable objects.

Of course, all these women are not the group that should be blamed. They neither stole nor robbed, and they were not the ones who started the war and caused the killing.

That's the saddest part of the whole thing.

Roland exhaled softly, put down the curtain that had traveled through many planes, and handed it to Mammy.

The nanny is examining Roland with the most severe eyes. This "moral ruler" still follows the strict standards left by the previous hostess, and expresses seriousness to the real means and purpose of Roland's trip to Atlanta to "borrow money". suspicion.

What Roland thought was different from what Mammy thought.

She believes that in addition to the mutual attraction based on desire, there is also a mutual transaction based on interests between men and women.

She has the ability to bring good fields back to life, and also to make amazing products appear on the land-this ability is the foundation of wealth.

As long as the man Braide is a sensible and discerning man... as long as the money in this man's pocket is really earned by himself, he should be able to understand the value of this ability.

Now that the moment she met Ruett Brad, she could start to make up her own mind and make up her own mind.Then she naturally wanted to negotiate a business with Ruett Brad—to let him know that by lending the 300 dollars, she would not get a woman who was catering to others on the surface but loved others in her heart, but a huge commercial profit.

I hope he can successfully lend himself 300 dollars.

With this in mind, Roland and Mammy came to Atlanta together.

Atlanta was the home of Scarlett Scarlett's dead husband, Charlie Han, and Melanie's maiden home.

Scarlett had spent a long time here before the war ended. She wore mourning here, worked as a nurse in the hospital, and danced with people in mourning at a bazaar, and was judged for a long time.

Back here, Roland heard a "great" news:

The benefactor she plans to visit, Mr. Rhett Brad, the man Scarlett Scarlett wanted to seduce wholeheartedly, has just been imprisoned for killing a black man.

Roland: ...The timing is really good.

It was Charlie Han's aunt Han Baidie who told Roland the news.She was a gossiping and inquisitive woman, a little nervous, prone to fainting, and needed a sip of brandy from time to time to wake herself up.

"Actually, it's not for the black people who died!"

Han Baidie deliberately lowered her voice and told Roland.

"Black lives matter, but the Yankees don't care about that. They got Rhett mainly to ask him where he hid the money."

"money?"

"Yes!" Baidie's eyes lit up when she heard this word, as if she was already imagining how she would get the money.

"On the surface, it is said that he earned money from speculative business during the war, but privately, there are rumors that Brad got the gold privately hidden by the Southern Federal Government, which is probably worth tens of millions of dollars!"

Roland thought: tens of millions of dollars is meaningless to me, I only need 300 dollars.

With that being decided, she asked where Ruide was being held, and then began secretly planning tomorrow's visit.

She needed to visit Rhett Brad in the Yankee prison and borrow $300 from him—she could mortgage Tara's land, Tara's production, her ability to farm...

Anyway, she wouldn't use her body or even her soul as collateral.

--It's that simple.

While she was sitting on the bed in Han's guest room, thinking about these things silently, Mammy had been watching her secretly through the wide crack of the door.

Seeing the expression on Roland's face, the "moral model" mammy quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and closed the door so that Roland could have a good night's rest.

After Roland made up his mind, he wanted to discuss something with Luna.

It was only after looking back that she didn't bring a cat with her when she went out this time——

That's right, how can anyone take a cat with them when they go out to borrow money?

Crap! ——She also wanted to ask what kind of person Brad was.

Roland always pays attention to "knowing yourself and the enemy" when doing things. If she is going to talk about money with a man, she should at least know something about him.

But now there is no way to contact Luna, she can't contact the producer in Atlanta, so she can't see any "Memory Killer"?

She didn't know Rhett at all.

About this man, the only information she knows so far is that he was a speculator during the war, hoarded a lot of money, and now he is caught by the Yankees, and he may be hanged soon...

But what kind of character is he?Does he trust others easily?Or is it more inclined to be shrewd and cautious? ... After seeing him face to face, how should he negotiate so that he would trust her and agree to lend her money?

Will the prison environment change this person's temperament, making it easier/less difficult for Brad, whose life is in danger, to make money transactions?

Roland sat on the bed alone, thinking seriously with his cheeks resting on his cheeks—but she didn't realize that all she thought about from the beginning to the end was how to do business with this Mr. Bai.

The next day, Roland changed into the green skirt cut out of curtains, put on a beautiful hat of the same color with a rooster's tail feathers, left Han's house, and went to the Atlanta fire station, which was It was temporarily converted into a prison, and the legendary Mr. Brad is currently being held there.

She was ostentatious walking down the street in her newly cut green dress—it is said that none of the ladies in Atlanta can afford to cut a new dress.This image makes her look like an "undecent" woman, or in other words, those "bad women" who sell their bodies.

But anyway, this is the last moment of the "transition period". Roland will soon be able to decide everything by himself, so she doesn't care about "showing off".After all, she was really beautiful in this dress.

really--

When seeing Roland in the fire station, Rhett's eyes lit up immediately, he looked her up and down, and stretched out his hand to her: "Oh, Scarlett! You are so beautiful!"

Roland frowned.

She felt that he looked at her as if he were looking at a plaything.

Even if she knew nothing about this man before, the "implanted emotion" would not lie.

Roland immediately felt a strong disgust—this kind of disgust was deeply rooted, and it seemed that from the first day he saw this man, he had left an indelible bad impression on her heart.

But this disgust was mixed with a little guilt and a desire to conquer. After all, Scarlett had made a plan early on to seduce him, use him, and play tricks, hoping that he would surrender under her feet.

But the question is, can this man be easily seduced?

Rhett in front of her was about the same age as the earl from the previous plane, tall and broad, with black hair, dark eyes, skin tanned by the hot southern sun, and a handsome face.

His eyes are bright, and there is a cynical smile on the corner of his mouth. Even though he is praising the beauty of the person in front of him, his eyes seem to be asking:

"Miss, are you trying to trick me into marrying you?"

"I'm not a man suitable for marriage!"
