Chapter 50: Grain Sold?

Hearing him say this, Cheng Yangyang can probably guess what's going on, maybe this Nanyi country is still far, far away from the 21st century, and there are wild fruits on the mountain, but it has not yet reached the level of cultivating fruits.

Therefore, the fruits here are either sour and bitter, or there is little pulp, not to mention the variety, and there is naturally no one that has not been introduced from abroad, which is an opportunity!

Just when she was secretly happy, someone from the yamen came.

"My lord, this is the food sent by Miss Cheng", the yacha led the magistrate to come, the magistrate was wearing civilian clothes, I am afraid that he was not just pulled from home.

"The folk girl has seen the adult", Cheng Yangyang curtsied, and the villagers of Wangjia Village behind her were even more exaggerated, and when they saw the magistrate, they were so frightened that they took a few steps back, and their faces were so bent that they could touch their pants.

"Miss Cheng, you said you want to pay food?" Xu Weimin didn't know why he was a little excited.

When Cheng Yangyang saw this, he felt a little strange, didn't he just hand over the grain? Last time, Wang Dafei and the others came to hand over the grain, and they didn't see the county lord come out to greet them.

"Yes, my family's land was planted late this year, and a total of 54 acres of land were planted, and here are 5,400 catties of grain."

"Oh, good! good!" When Xu Weimin heard that there were more than 5,000 catties, he clapped his hands with joy, "It's too timely!"

"......" Although Cheng Yangyang didn't know what he was talking about, since the food had been delivered, let's start weighing.

"My lord, let's start weighing, we're going to rush back to the village!"

"Okay, good, quick, call someone to come and order!" Xu Weimin looked more anxious than her.

That's weird!

"My lord, look at your pale face, have you been too concerned about the people recently?" Cheng Yangyang took the opportunity to approach the magistrate and tried to trap him, "My lord, you have to have a good rest."

"Miss Cheng, your batch of grain is really too timely!" Xu Weimin was still immersed in joy, and he also treated Cheng Yangyang differently, after all, she had won the favor of the prince twice.

"The adult has won the award, and it is the honor of the people's daughter to be able to relieve the worries of the adult", this Xu Weimin still didn't get to the point, and she couldn't ask directly, but she was in a hurry.

"Relieve worries...... Alas!"

When Xu Weimin thought of his worries, these grains could indeed relieve him of some of his worries, but they were only able to make up the big holes into small holes, how could they solve his worries!

"Why are you so worried?" Cheng Yangyang couldn't help but asked directly.

Unexpectedly, this county magistrate was not as serious as she thought, and he really told her his worries.

"This official is worried, this year's grain harvest is not much, less than three years ago, you don't know how many people starved to death three years ago", thinking of the famine three years ago, Xu Weimin shook his head sadly.

After the grain harvest in the town is completed, the green and yellow months are full for more than half a year, half of the grain collected will be handed over to the state treasury, and half of the grain will be used to support the relief of the people for most of the year.

Although Cheng Yangyang hadn't come two years ago, she probably knew how difficult it was two years ago, otherwise the original owner of her body would not have starved on the side of the road and was picked up by people from Wangjia Village.

"My lord, I still have some food here, do you want to ......?"

Cheng Yangyang wanted to take this opportunity to sell the grain directly to the government, but before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Xu Weimin holding her hand.

"Really, you still have food, how much food!"

Cheng Yangyang was so frightened by him that she retracted her hand, and she smiled awkwardly, "There are about 25,000 catties left......

Before she came, she had already calculated, except for the grain and land rent, she still had about 500 catties left in one mu, and 54 mu was 27,000 catties, and she kept 2,000 catties for seeds and food, and the rest could be sold.

"Yes! This official wants it!" Xu Weimin did not hesitate at all, and placed an order directly with her.

The price hasn't been negotiated yet......

The corners of Cheng Yangyang's mouth twitched, didn't he think that the grain was the same as here, and it was handed over for free, right?

"My lord, this price ......"

"Oh, yes, the price!" Xu Weimin came back to his senses, "The price must be negotiated, and the official will call the account office."

After speaking, he shouted at a servant, "You go, bring the account room to the official!"

After a while, a man who looked shrewd and capable came over with an abacus, and when he saw Lord Zhixian, he was about to salute, but was pulled over by Xu Weimin.

"Calculate quickly, how much does it cost to buy a pound of grain now?"

Although the man still didn't understand what was going on, he was very professional, and he reported the number at once, "Lord Hui, now the grain trade in the city is four cents a catty, which is one penny higher than three months ago." ”

"Siwen is right!" Xu Weimin had a number, he turned his head and quoted to Cheng Yangyang, "Miss Cheng, four cents is a catty, I want your food!"

"My lord......" The bookkeeper understood what Xu Weimin was going to do, he wanted to stop the counteroffer, but was interrupted by Cheng Yangyang.

"Deal! It's just four pennies a pound!"

Cheng Yangyang is not stupid, looking at the dazed and anxious appearance of the bookkeeper, she knows that the grain transaction price he said is true, since it is true, then don't let them have a chance to bargain!

In the end, it was not Cheng Yangyang who was in a hurry, but the magistrate who was in a hurry, and he had already told his subordinates that they would prepare a carriage to go to Wangjia Village tomorrow to pull grain, and she didn't have to send it herself.

After the food was weighed, Cheng Yangyang happily left with a group of people, the first thing was to find two tea stalls and give each of them a bowl of tea.

"Cheng girl, what did you just say to the county magistrate? So happy", there were too many people drinking tea in them, and the owner of the tea stall asked them to take the tea bowl to the side of the road to drink, and a few people chatted with Cheng Yangyang.

Cheng Yangyang didn't mind telling them, "I just talked to the magistrate about selling grain, and I want to buy grain in the yamen now, and I have already sold the grain at home."

When the people heard this, they all gathered around, and they also planned to sell the grain and buy rough noodles to eat.

"Four pennies a catty", Cheng Yangyang compared four fingers to them.

"Siwen, that's good!" they seemed to be quite satisfied with the price, so it seemed that the bookkeeper was really not lying.

"Cheng girl, I also want to sell, see if you can talk to the county magistrate and buy my family's grain", Wang Dashu looked at Cheng Yangyang excitedly.

"Of course you can, tomorrow the yamen will send someone to the village to pull grain, and you can prepare the grain if you want to sell."

Cheng Yangyang has already told Xu Weimin that tomorrow's grain will only be more or less, that is, he has already calculated that there will be people in the village who will sell grain.

"Oh, great! My family has more than 1,000 catties, so I have to have four pieces of silver......

"Okay, let's go back and calculate it, now go buy meat, let's go back after buying meat, don't delay too much time", Cheng Yangyang put it in the tea bowl and took them to the pork shop.
