Chapter 533: Public and Private Balance

Before the real winter arrives, the experimental field can be planted with another season of potatoes. After all, www.biquge.info this side of the Kannai area is still a Kannai area, and it is not so cold when winter first comes, and of course, the place facing north outside the Kansai may be another world entirely, and it may have been covered in silver.

Originally, these lands were also idle in this season, which was nothing more than to let the farmers who were responsible for taking care of the fields under him work for a while longer, anyway, Shi Lei paid them wages, and they didn't mind helping to plant a crop of potatoes.

Although they still look at Shi Lei with a bit of a fool's feeling, but Shi Lei is not really stupid and has a lot of money, so the purpose of letting them come to work quickly is to achieve the goal of getting them to work quickly, and when the real harvest comes out, they will know who is stupid.

Potato seeds naturally don't have to worry, Shi Lei has a lot of potatoes in his own house, even if he changes them every once in a while, there will still be the existence of germination, and Shi Lei can't help but worry about eating it for his family, so he just let his own caravan bring it over by the way.

The caravan even came to Lulong's side earlier than Shi Lei, just in time for the arrival of winter, before the foreign merchants returned, the caravan placed all kinds of orders early, asking for all kinds of specialties in the Northeast, such as top-quality leather goods, and good medicinal materials such as ginseng.

This will not be like those things that sold the price of radish in later generations, they are all authentic wild ginseng, and it seems that it has not been very valued before, so this year is amazing, I dare not say that thousand-year-old ginseng is very common, anyway, hundred-year-old ginseng is really not too difficult to find.

At least what can be delivered to the caravan is good goods that are good enough for the year, and the Shi family itself has to leave a lot of hidden ones, and other noble families are estimated to have done this less, so after these things are brought back, they can also make a lot of money for the Shi family.

On the other hand, after the Shi family's large-scale order goes down, it can also be a good boost to the local business activities in Pingzhou, and there will definitely be more foreign businessmen who come to Pingzhou to trade, and the market here is also more free and open, I believe that there will still be more people left.

This is also another way for Shi Lei to think of developing Pingzhou, bring more noble caravans to come and pan for gold, and the business here can have a great development.

After the bait was cast, the caravan rushed back to Chang'an with all the materials purchased, and if it was too late, it would be sad if the road was closed by heavy snow, and it was likely to be left here and unable to move.

This day did not have any impact on those diligent farmers, the planting and management of potatoes is really very extensive, and it does not take too much effort, it is just a little effort.

The most laborious work of cultivating the land, but it didn't use their efforts, don't forget that Shi Lei also brought hundreds of yaks, since they were cultivated for themselves, let these yaks who have been comprehensively transformed, go to their own fields to help turn over the land, shouldn't they be shared.

There are more cattle than the peasants, and even if the area of the field is a little larger, it will be easily cleaned up.

Shi Lei even planned to wait until the spring of the next year, and rent out all these yaks to local farmers in Pingzhou, which can also help them better complete spring ploughing.

Of course, in order to avoid the bad thing of Dou Mien's promotion to Mi Hatred, Shi Lei must collect rent, and maybe he can make a small amount of money from this. But the more important thing is to make a contribution to local farming. With these cattle, they may be able to reclaim more wasteland, which is very helpful to Shi Lei's plan to develop people's livelihood.

However, taking out the artifact of potatoes is only the first step in Shi Lei's plan. It's just a matter of filling the stomachs of the locals as much as possible. In order to really give them a good life, potatoes alone are clearly not enough.

Shi Lei simply contributed the vegetable greenhouses and raw bean sprouts, which were originally only used to lead his own farmers to get rich, so that the farmers who helped him take care of the fields first experienced the benefits.

When these farmers have made a fortune and lived a good life, other Pingzhou locals also have the motivation to learn these things from Shi Lei.

It is said that there is no harm if there is no comparison, and in the same way, if you don't let some people get rich first, how can most of the other people have a goal to catch up.

They are certainly stable if they are able to live in poverty, but if they are all satisfied with the status quo and become unenterprising, what is the difference between them and a school of salted fish, how can they do it without giving some stimulation. Shi Lei would rather Pingzhou become a place where local tyrants are concentrated, rather than become a place where everyone is poorer.

Although I still think it sounds a little unreliable, the farmers have wages to get anyway, and they just work hard, and no one will question Shi Lei's decision.

It's not their own money that they spent, they haven't come to the point of feeling sorry for Shi Lei, or they haven't seen Shi Lei as their own, so they just worked hard to build the greenhouse according to Shi Lei's requirements.

However, such as raw bean sprouts, their attitudes are completely different, this thing is very feasible as soon as they hear it, and there is nothing beyond their understanding and cognition, and the effect is quite fast, so they quickly learned this technology seriously, and they cherish these technologies from the bottom of their hearts.

If it weren't for Shi Lei saying that these things would be promoted in Pingzhou in the future, they would have to set up rules such as passing on children and not daughters to keep secrets.

Even if they knew that Shi Lei would spread all these skills, it still did not affect their enthusiasm for learning and practice. The sooner you get your hands on it, the sooner you discover some tricks than others, and you can gain more good reputations, and when the time comes, they will still be the most people who buy these sprouts.

Drama actors will change, and each has its own subtle differences. It's like farming, everyone knows it, but some people can have a good harvest, and some are not much different from being born and growing, such as striking iron and doing carpentry work.

As for whether it will have an impact on the Shi family's farmers after the local implementation in Pingzhou, Shi Lei really thought about it, and concluded that there is basically no impact.

At the logistics level of Datang, most of the things you make can only be sold in the surrounding areas, and it is not enough to travel and spend money when you pull them to distant places. If it is not a strategic material like grain, how can a country come forward to coordinate and carry out some major projects such as "transporting grain from the south to the north", and how can such things as fresh vegetables be transported to other places?

Therefore, how should the farmers of the Shi family sell their greenhouse vegetables and sprouts, or how to sell them. Moreover, these incomes are not as important to them as they used to be. Now that they have all followed Shi Lei to become local tyrants, how can they care about this profit.

The reason why I am still working on these things is more to have a bridge of contact with my neighbors and those old customers, and don't let myself be idle.

After shaking off all the tricks of these things, Shi Lei can retire. He can move his mouth and really let him do it, he is not necessarily better than these farmers who come into contact with him for the first time, and he will not sacrifice that ugly. Go back to the mansion honestly and be his rubber stamp.

By the way, Shi Lei also wanted to discuss something else with Uncle Fan, this time it was about the idea of building his own force and retreat in Pingzhou, which could be regarded as a private matter, but he just needed to borrow some official business.
