Chapter 36: Conversation (Ask for Recommendations, Ask for Collections!) )

For all the above reasons, Lin Fan was relatively kind to Biglen Village, and he was also much kinder and kinder to the village chief Hande and Laifu, which made the two of them a little flattered, and they became more and more respectful to Lin Fan.

The villagers of Biglen Village are very simple, they have no culture, even the most knowledgeable Lai Fu only knows some simple arithmetic, but the eyes of the villagers are also bright, who is good to them, who is sincere to them, they can distinguish clearly.

As a martial artist, the village chief of Hande is still a little reserved, he has always been accustomed to speaking with his fists, and internal affairs are not his forte.

However, as the affairs officer of Biglen Village, Lai Fu has always been responsible for foreign transactions, and he is not embarrassed about this, and he complimented Lin Fan vigorously as soon as he came up, and his attitude seemed a little flattering.

"Dear Lord Lin Fan, I heard that you agreed to our trade request, this is really a thank you, you are really a kind and generous lord, we want to exchange animal skins for some food, cooking oil, salt, and tools, I don't know what you think."

Lin Fan nodded and asked a little casually, "You guys are short of food now?" You know, I've given a bag of fine white flour to each of my subordinates, and fifty bags to the village, so isn't your food enough? ”

Listening to Lin Fan's words, Lai Fu and Hand showed helpless looks: "Although we have worked hard to farm, and we also obtain meat through hunting, but due to the lack of farm tools and cattle, the harvested grain is always not enough to eat for a whole year, so we have to go to the town to exchange for a batch." ”

"It's August now, but it's still more than a month before the crops are harvested, but the food in the village has already been exhausted, and if it weren't for your generosity, we might be hungry by now."

Lai Fu complimented Lin Fan without a trace, Lin Fan smiled slightly, and motioned for him to continue.

Lai Fu nodded hurriedly, and continued to state: "However, there are more than 2,000 people in the village, and the batch of more than 200 bags of grain you assisted, plus the remaining ones in the village, is only enough for the villagers to consume for a week at most, if we want to support the next harvest, we must make up for a month's food shortfall." ”

Lin Fan nodded clearly: "In that case, how much food shortage do you have now?" ”

Laifu obviously had calculated this, and replied directly: "If we want to make up for this month's food shortage, we still need a total of 100,000 catties of grain." ”

Lin Fan silently calculated, 100,000 catties of grain, calculated by 50 catties of a bag of white flour, then exactly 2,000 bags of white flour are needed, a bag of flour is about 100 yuan, and 2,000 bags will cost 200,000 yuan. I'm going, it's another huge expense!

This is a full 100,000 catties of food, how can people in this world eat it so much! I didn't pretend to be forced if I knew it, but now I'm confused, where can I raise the initial capital of 200,000 yuan! Now it's a big loser, and now it's almost elevated to a million.

Although the funds are a little insufficient, Lin Fan still plans to eat all of the beast furs for this batch of beast furs, and only by getting this batch of furs can it be possible to exchange for enough funds, and then get rid of the accumulated debts on his body, and prepare for the next step of team training.

The army is a thing that spends money, and it can't be played without money, so in order not to mess up the good situation, Lin Fan needs to raise enough money as soon as possible.

Lin Fan was secretly surprised in his heart, but asked quietly on the surface: "Since you have such a big food shortage, how did you get it before, can you get enough food every time?" ”

Levle bowed and replied, "Yes, my lord, although there is a lot of food shortage every year, but we will hunt a lot of game every year, in addition to being able to add some meat, we can also exchange the remaining fur for a batch of food, although sometimes the quantity may be insufficient, but if we eat a little less every meal, we can still survive this time." ”

Lin Fan nodded to show his understanding, and asked with a slight calculation in his heart: "So how do you make the transaction, and what is the price of the transaction?" ”

Lady was obviously very familiar with this, and replied: "One fur can be exchanged for a bag of coarse rye, and we have more than two thousand furs, which can be exchanged for two thousand bags of coarse rye, and the rest can be exchanged for some cooking oil, salt, and tools and other daily necessities." ”

Lin Fan asked with interest: "Oh, coarse rye, is it the kind of thing that is particularly unpalatable with chaff, sand, and stones in it?" ”

Lai Fu nodded a little weakly: "Oh, yes, my lord, but we will check it beforehand, so that they will not be mixed with too much sundries, if it is made into black bread, it will be enough for all the villagers to eat." ”

Lin Fan tapped his fingers lightly and continued to ask, "What about wheat?" I see you grow a lot of wheat, but you never eat it, where do you get all this wheat? And how does the price of wheat compare to rye, and what is the exchange ratio? ”

"The wheat harvest is generally not very high, only half that of rye, and the land requirements are very high, and we have been short of tools, so we don't grow much wheat," said Lever with some trepidation. We're going to get it to the towns, and we're going to get three times as much rye, so that we can get more rations, even if it's not very tasty. ”

Lin Fan bowed his head slightly: "In this way, one bag of wheat can be exchanged for a total of three bags of rye, am I right." So according to your estimates, how much rye can I exchange for all the fine white flour I brought? And the pearl rice I brought with me, how much can I get in exchange? ”

Lai Fu swallowed a little uneasily: "Your refined flour, my lord, is all very delicate, and there is not a trace of chaff, and it can be exchanged for five times the amount of rye." As for your pearl rice, it's nothing like anything you've ever seen before, and it's so sweet that it should be priced higher. ”

Lai Fu said this sentence hard, not to mention how embarrassed he was, and he was a little embarrassed.

If you just calculate the mass, then a generation of white flour is indeed about the same as five bags of rye.

But the white flour brought by Lin Fan is a real luxury, even the nobles can't enjoy such good flour, how can it be sold so cheaply, even if the price is doubled, it is more than enough to exchange for ten bags of rye!

According to Lin Fan's own calculations, the same fine white flour is more than enough in exchange for ten bags of wheat, because the nobles of this world cannot produce such fine white flour, and according to the price here, this is equivalent to the price of thirty bags of coarse rye.

As for the pearl rice brought by Lin Fan, it is even more of a luxury luxury, the rice itself is extremely delicious, and it is sweet and soft, and the price is naturally quite expensive.

And there is no such thing as rice in this world, you must know that it has always been scarce and expensive, and the value of rice can be imagined, at least two to three times more expensive than fine white flour, and even if you deliberately control sales, the price will be higher.
