"Of course I know it's rice seeds." Liang Chuan gave him a blank look, "I'm asking you what kind of rice is this?" ”

"Oh!" The peddler suddenly realized, "This is the early rice of the Zhancheng Kingdom, no one has planted it in our Great Song Dynasty, this is a good seed, plant it at the spring equinox next year, and it will be harvested in almost a season!" The vendor went out of his way to introduce his products, and his mouth was endless.

As soon as Liang Chuan heard this name, he could probably guess that this was Zhancheng Rice. This kind of early indica rice native to the Indochina Peninsula is extremely adaptable, and it was introduced to our country during this period of the Great Song Dynasty, as for the 'rapid promotion in the Great Song Dynasty' described in the history books, this rapid process Liang Chuan does not know how much time it took, at least now Liang Chuan has not seen anyone planting this early rice.

"If this rice seed is so good, why doesn't anyone ask you to buy it?" Liang Chuan looked around at the hawker's stall, and there was not a single person who patronized it.

"This rice is good rice, but it's a pity that the people don't know the goods, this rice has a short harvest cycle, but the harvest is not as good as our rice seeds in the Great Song Dynasty, and most people have not planted, they don't dare to take risks, so the hawker my rice seed is not selling well, if you know the benefits of this rice seed over time, you look at the hawker I am still worried about not being able to sell."

The hawkers bought a large number of rice seeds from Nanyang, thinking that everyone would rush to buy this kind of good thing, but I didn't expect that no one cared about it after being placed on the port for several months! Now I am about to return to Nanyang, but I haven't even earned it when I go back, and if I can't go back this time, it means that next year's business can only be watched.

Liang Chuan grabbed a handful of seeds, put them in his hand and looked at them, these rice seeds are smaller than ordinary rice seeds, but the grains are golden and full at a glance, they are good seeds, put them on the side of the nose and smell them, the aroma is also very strong, it should not be fake seeds.

"It's just early rice, so what should I do after I finish planting a season?"

The so-called Champa rice is not a double cropping rice in the real sense, it is only a kind of early rice, and after planting early rice, it needs to be matched with other crops, and the two seasons will add up to a higher yield than one season of rice.

The hawker smiled and said: "Objectively a person who knows the goods, he is naturally a smart person, after planting this early rice, you can plant another season of wheat or something, you can also plant some ordinary late rice and the like, so that you can harvest twice a year, which is equivalent to two years of harvest for others!" ”

Seeing that Liang Chuan was interested, the peddler continued: "And let me tell you the guest officer, this kind of rice is extremely drought-tolerant, like extensive cultivation like raising grass, and occasionally watering this kind of rice can live for a long time. ”

He Baozheng watched coldly from the side for a long time, the more he listened to him, the more suspenseful his heart became, his brows were already wrinkled, and he finally spoke: "San Lang, don't listen to his nonsense, how can there be rice without water, then it won't be wheat?" Besides, there is really such a good rice seed in the world, and the government will hide it and not tell the people? There has never been a pie in the sky.,I've heard that there are a lot of liars in Qingyuan.。。 ”

The peddler was about to succeed, and when he saw that this old man came out and stirred up a stick, everything was stirred, and he suddenly couldn't say anything, and his tears were about to fall: "Don't mind, this old brother, why did I lie to you if I have no grievances with you?" I lied to you this year, so will I still come to Qingyuan to do my business next year? How can there be a reason to move a stone to shoot yourself in the foot! ”

In this era, it is a very serious crime to make raw feet on grain seeds, and once it is verified by the government, it is impossible to run away from sitting in prison with a few books. With the idea that few people would be crazy enough to fight fake seeds, and it is precisely because of this that Liang Chuan believes that this peddler will not take such a big risk for such a small amount of money.

Liang Chuan is not afraid of this hawker cheating in his heart, he is a person who wants to make a scene in Qingyuan, whether it is a market or a port, Liang Chuan will sooner or later have to take these territories into his own pocket, just like this hawker himself said, he dares to lie to himself this year, and he will not want to do business in this place next year.

The peddler said sincerely, and He Baozheng and Liang Chuan were silent, not knowing what they were thinking. Seeing that many farmers had bought the seeds this year, and no one would come to buy his rice seeds if it dragged on, he gritted his teeth and said to Liang Chuan: "If the big officials really want to buy my rice seeds, then I will go to the government with you to make a contract, if I deceive you, let the government want me, and finally let me dare not set foot in Qingyuan again?" ”

Liang Chuan thought for a moment and smiled slightly: "Don't be so troublesome, if I can't trust you, why should I make a big fuss, it's better not to buy your rice seeds." How many rice seeds do you have here? ”

"I have almost more than 1,200 catties of rice seeds here, and if you want them all, I can give you a much cheaper price."

"I'll ask for a thousand pounds. How do you calculate this price? "1,000 catties is equivalent to 10 quintals, 100 buckets, and the amount of rice of these volumes can probably be planted more than 100 acres of land, which is already a lot.

"Rice seeds are all according to the price of rice, this year's rice price is high, until now it costs more than 100 yuan a bucket, I don't make more money from officials, officials press a bucket of 100 yuan to me, 100 buckets is 10 yuan. I can't sell the remaining 200 catties of rice seeds, so I should give them to the officials. ”

"That's not good, right? How much do I have to take advantage of you? ”

Liang Chuan is a little embarrassed, this year's rice price is too outrageous, the amount of rice in Qingyuan Port was extremely large, but just before the typhoon came by an unknown trader all packaged and bought, now Qingyuan needs rice and has to be transferred from other places, the price of rice will definitely remain high before the arrival of new rice next year. As soon as this hawker came, he made a lot of profits to himself, which made Liang Chuan a little uneasy.

The peddler seemed to see through Liang Chuan's thoughts and said: "Official, don't worry, I just want to make money back to Nanyang this year, and I can bring back the seeds when I go back to Nanyang, and I am sure that you bought my seeds this year, and you and your relatives and friends will definitely come to buy my seeds again next year!" I don't worry about not making money next year, so it doesn't matter if I make less this year. ”

He Baozheng is also learning to do business now, he didn't expect Qingyuan people to do business like this, so open-minded, with this vision, it is no wonder that Qingyuan people have done business to the end of the world and earned money back all over the world. Liang Chuan listened to the peddler's words and was equally moved by his thoughts.

At the moment, he said: "I can't ask for your seeds for nothing, then this is twenty yuan, even if I buy your seeds, if more, it will be regarded as the softness of the candied line I give you, I wish you all the best, and you can bring back better seeds next year." This matter is not only a business, but also a major event for the benefit of the people of the world. ”

The hawker was also infected by Liang Chuan's arrogance, and he has never seen anyone who wants to make more money in business, and he has never seen anyone give money to others. And it's not just a matter of selling seeds, how can it become a major event to save the country and save the people.

"Official, you are really amazing, can you tell me your name, with the courage of an official, he must also be a big businessman on the ground in Qingyuan one day, and it will definitely be no problem to fight for money and wealth in the future!"

Liang Chuan turned his head to look at Xiao Hai, He Baozheng, and a group of children behind him: "My name is Liang Chuan. ”

The peddler thought he had misheard, and said curtly, "Since the officials refuse to tell me. My name is Gu Dezhao, and I hope to be able to do business as an official in the coming year. ”

Liang Chuan's name is so ordinary that every time he reports his name, he always makes people think that he is perfunctory.

Zheng Ruoying smiled and said: "He didn't lie to you, his name is so earthy, his surname is Liang Chuan, and the word Sichuan is erected in three words." ”

Liang Chuan glared at him: "It's okay to embrace all rivers!" ”

Liang Chuan told Gu Dezhao his address, and he didn't need to worry about transporting the seeds later, and Liang Chuan didn't mind giving the money to Gu Dezhao first, and gave him twenty yuan happily. Gu Dezhao was so moved that he threw himself to the ground, this kindness was too heavy for him.

Before leaving, Liang Chuan suddenly thought of something, grabbed Gu Dezhao and asked, "Dezhao, do you often walk around in Nanyang?" ”

Gu Dezhao nodded, he was making money by selling the items that were lacking in various places in the two places.

"Have you ever seen any of these crops?" At that moment, Liang Chuan told him the morphological characteristics of peppers, sweet potatoes, tobacco and corn, Gu Dezhao shook his head when he heard it, these crops are extremely special, and he has never heard of them.

Liang Chuan said to him: "If you come across the seeds or rhizomes of these crops when you go to Nanyang this time, you must help me bring some back if you are alive, these things are much more expensive than the Champa rice seeds you sold!" ”

Gu Dezhao couldn't believe it, if it was really so expensive, he hadn't heard of it, and Liang Chuan said it vividly and concretely, and it didn't seem to be made up, whether it was really that valuable or not, since Liang Chuan wanted it, even if he wanted to return the favor this time, he would try his best to help Liang Chuan find it.
