This kind of life has been going on for fifteen years, until Zhuang Lao was fifty years old, and suddenly remembered that he was alone, if he didn't take advantage of the days when he could move to make some money, he couldn't move in the future, so what should he do, there was no coffin.

In order to support the elderly, for the coffin, it also happened to meet someone who died on the battlefield, and no one inherited the land left behind, the government saw that Zhuang Lao was fifty years old, but his body was still quite tough, and he was still the old Qin who participated in the war of the defenders of Yangguan, so he divided an acre of land to Zhuang Lao, and after Zhuang Lao got this acre of fertile land, he began to cultivate the fields.

Zhuang Lao's farming skills are very good, and the grain he grows is five or six buckets more than other people's one acre of land, which has become a great existence in the eyes of outsiders, and Zhuang Lao has a little reputation because of this, but Zhuang Lao is not satisfied.

Because people are old, they can only plant one acre of land at most, and if they have more, they will be powerless, even if they have to produce a few more buckets of grain than others, they can hand over half of it to the government, and the rest can only fill their stomachs, and they can't earn coffin money at all.

Zhuang Lao began to think of a way, began to collect all kinds of rice ears and pondered carefully, and finally in the third year, that is, in the twenty-fifth year of Shengqin, he successfully planted eight stones of grain on one acre of land, which was four times the yield of ordinary fertile land.

For a time, countless people came to the famous school, and even the officials of the academy came, wanting to invite Zhuang Lao to serve in the academy and teach the students of the agricultural hall to plant, but Zhuang Lao refused, and he had a trace of hatred for the court and the government.

In the eyes of outsiders, Zhuang Lao has become a man of the year by virtue of his superb farming skills, but in fact, only Zhuang Lao himself knows that one acre of land and eight stones of grain has nothing to do with his farming skills, and it all depends on the new rice seeds he synthesizes.

This secret has always been hidden in Zhuang Lao's heart, and he does not tell anyone, because he is afraid that if this matter spreads, the imperial court will send people to come over to grab rice seeds, and he is also afraid that some businessmen who see money will use obscene techniques to rob openly and secretly.

Zhuang Lao walked step by step to the bamboo pole where the clothes were dried, put down the bamboo basket in his hand, took out the freshly washed clothes from it, and hung them neatly on the bamboo pole.

He is very satisfied with his old age, except for the spring and autumn seasons, he is eating, drinking and having fun, plus he has some money in his hand, and his life is very comfortable.

Trample... Trample...

At this moment, there was a sound of light footsteps outside the courtyard, and Zhuang Lao, who was sitting on a chair and drinking tea, glanced at it, only to see a middle-aged man dressed luxuriously dressed and wearing a gold ring smiling from the gate into the small courtyard.

Seeing the guests coming, Zhuang Lao did not get up to greet him, and still tasted tea by himself, completely ignoring the visitors.

The middle-aged man seemed to be accustomed to this, and he was not surprised, but he walked to Zhuang Lao's side with a smile and said with a smile: "Zhuang Lao is in a good mood, I started to taste tea early in the morning, haha!" ”

Zhuang Lao's expression showed impatience, and his tone was relatively cold: "Boss Zhang, don't you look at the sky, is it still early in the morning?" In another hour, the old man will make a fire to cook, okay, let go of the fart quickly, the old man has no spare time to listen to your nagging! ”

Boss Zhang, whose real name is Zhang Shou, is the largest grain merchant in Xianyang City, with a family fortune of tens of millions, and puts him in the vassal states, which is the existence of a rich and rival country.

Seeing his hot face on Zhuang Lao's cold buttocks, Zhang Shou was suddenly a little embarrassed, but quickly hid the embarrassment, and continued to put on a smiling face and said: "Zhuang Lao went straight into the knife with a single knife, and the juniors didn't go around the bend anymore, I don't know if the grain that Zhuang Lao harvested last year was sold?" ”

Because the grain planted by Zhuang Lao is not only high, but also the grains are full, twice as large as ordinary grains, and they taste very fragrant, so Zhang Shou came to collect the grain in person, and he harvested it once last year, allowing him to earn millions of taels of silver.

Some people may ask, even if all the grain grown by Zhuang Lao is sold, it will only be eight stone grain, how can the eight stone grain be sold for millions of taels of silver? One hundred thousand taels with one stone? Who should be the culprit of this!

Of course, no one is wronged, and Bashi grain has not sold millions of taels of silver, and the income of millions of taels of silver can be completely obtained by Zhang Shou himself, he relied on Zhuang Lao's grain to make a name for himself, and first provided it to the rich family in the city.

Many rich people have eaten Zhuang Lao grain once, and they are out of control, and they have rushed to buy Zhuang Lao grain, relying on the heat of the city's rich Jia, Zhang Shou soon made his grain shop popular all over the state, attracting many people to buy grain from his grain shop.

Brand effect!

That's how the profit of millions of taels of silver came.

Originally, Zhang Shou was going to come to Zhuang's hometown to buy grain at the end of last autumn, but the old mother of his hometown died of illness, since ancient times, filial piety is the first way, Zhang Shou had no choice but to send his men to buy grain, and he went to his hometown to mourn, but his subordinates told him that Zhuang Lao did not sell.

Knowing that Zhuang Lao was not selling, Zhang Shou thought that Zhuang Lao wanted to save face, and he had to go in person, but he had no choice but to wait for the end of the wake, and hurriedly returned to Xianyang, as soon as he returned to Xianyang, he came directly to Zhuang's hometown.

"Not sold!" Zhuang Lao replied lightly.

Hearing the word 'not sold', Zhang Shouru was amnesty, and he breathed a sigh of relief, he was afraid that Zhuang Lao would sell the grain, otherwise the name he had just typed would soon be gone.

In fact, before Zhang Shou came, there were many grain merchants who came to Zhuang's hometown in person, and Zhuang Lao didn't sell them, and the reason for not selling them was very simple, the price of these grain taxes was too low, and he couldn't look down on them at all.

Zhang Shou bent down slightly, respectfully, looked at Zhuang Lao with anticipation on his face and said, "Zhuang Lao, how about the junior collect your grain according to last year's price?" ”

Zhuang Lao's hand that just picked up the teacup paused, put the teacup back on the coffee table without taking a sip of tea, turned his head to look at Zhang Shou who was full of anticipation and sneered: "Boss Zhang is really shrewd, do you think that the old lady is old, her ears can't hear, and her eyes can't see!" ”

Zhang Shou frowned slightly, and his expression was a little puzzled: "Why did Zhuang Lao say this? ”

"Humph!" Zhuang Lao snorted coldly, and said with a very unhappy expression: "Last time I went to the city to do clothes, I saw with my own eyes that your grain shop hit the price of one hundred taels of silver and one bucket of grain, and the old man also went over to take a look at it himself, this is the grain grown by the old man, Boss Zhang, you are too unkind, from the price of my two silver and one stone of grain, and sell it for one hundred and one buckets, which is a thousand times worse!" ”

PS: "Ask for a full order, ask for a monthly pass, ask for a recommended ticket, ask for a reward, ask for four daily requests, I hope you can support a lot, thank you, thank you very much!" ”
