Chapter 245: Thoughts
It is impossible for Zheng Linchu not to know the current situation of the Xue family, but he still made such a suggestion, obviously because he had considered the issue of silver in advance.
I don't have enough money, so of course I borrow it from others.
And there seems to be no one else who can lend the silver to the Xue family except her.
In the end, Zheng Linchu took the initiative to lend the Xue family 20,000 taels of silver to build a farm, and he could also help contact piglets and sows.
Why are there sows?
This is also simple, the number of piglets that the Xue family wants to breed in the future will inevitably be very large, if they are all caught, not only will it cost silver, but also such a large number of piglets, it is really not easy to catch them in time, how can it be convenient and save money to raise their own sows.
After all, this is a long-term livelihood, and I am not afraid of too many piglets.
The silver is provided, and it can also help contact the source of goods, and finally receive all the output, this is a free transaction, how can the Xue family refuse to accept it.
With the money, the farm was soon under construction.
The farm is located close to the forest.
At that time, it is more convenient to pick pig manure water into the field, and this is the Xue family's farmland, and it is also far away from people, so it will not affect others.
But it is impossible to feed pigs with all sweet potato residue, and it has to be mixed with other feeds, and after some treatment.
The largest proportion of these is bran.
To match so much sweet potato dregs, the bran required is also at the level of millions of catties, how can a small farmer of the Xue family buy so much bran?
But this is a breeze for Zheng Linchu, isn't the most important thing in the Zheng family's business is food, and the bran in his hands is naturally indispensable.
Naturally, Zheng Linchu provided them with it.
At this point, all the precautions for this farm have been solved, and only need to invest money to recruit people to build a factory.
Actually, it is said that the Xue family built their own farm.
But it doesn't seem to provide anything, and what it can do is probably just recruit people to build factories and manage them.
The sweet potato dregs, bran, and most importantly the silver needed were all provided by Zheng Linchu, and she was needed to help contact her in the early stage, and she was all responsible for the sale.
The Xue family doesn't seem to have to worry about anything, and they can spend the money provided by Zheng Linchu to recruit people to earn money for their own family.
It seems that as long as the family runs for her, they can sit at home and wait for the silver to fall from the sky, which is simply a great thing for pies to fall from the sky.
Therefore, everyone is naturally grateful to Zheng Linchu again, thanking her for constantly finding a way to earn money for her family, she is really a good person.
So far, though, they don't seem to have enough cash to fill a small cash chest.
Please note that this refers to cash, not silver.
By the way, he also owed Zheng Linchu a debt of at least 100,000 taels of silver.
What's even more interesting is that the Xue family's daily harvest is now invested in it, and the silver can't be held in their hands for long.
Well, it's just a joke, although there is no cash in the family, but at least there are many houses in the name.
Just 100,000 acres of sweet potatoes and more than 100,000 acres of land is a great industry.
It seems that as long as the next batch of sweet potatoes is produced, the Xue family, which is short of silver, will be able to completely recover.
At that time, not to mention the cash in a small cash cabinet, even a silver ticket can fill it.
Thinking of the hundreds of thousands of acres of sweet potato land that can bring hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to their families every year, everyone felt a surge in their chests, and they were so excited that they could wake up with a smile in their dreams.
From time to time, however, there are people who feel upset and feel that their conscience has been condemned.
Why do you feel uneasy?
Naturally, he was afraid that he and others would be branded as profiteers, so he doubted whether he was right to do this.
Nowadays, the life of the people is becoming more and more difficult, and the most difficult thing is that there is not enough land, the grain harvest is insufficient, and the people do not have enough to eat.
Especially when I saw those displaced people who came to work and the poorer people at home, all of them had yellow faces and thin muscles, which was caused by long-term hunger.
And my own family obviously got sweet potatoes that can save people, as long as the sweet potatoes are promoted, with the speed of its reproduction, I believe that it will not take a few years for all the people to plant.
Thousands of catties of grain per acre!
Even if the quality of the fields in their hands is poor, the supply of fertilizer is insufficient, and they cannot serve the fields carefully, the yield per mu is only a thousand catties, and they can feed a person with less than two acres of land if they plant two seasons a year.
No matter how poor the family is, how can there be no such land?
If you are really poor, you will reclaim a few acres of wasteland, and the food produced will be enough to pay taxes and feed yourself.
For the people, this is something that can save lives.
But now this sweet potato, which can save so many people, is monopolized by their Xue family.
In order to earn more money, they watched a large number of people still starved and hungry, struggling between life and death, without helping them.
In the hearts of some people, for a few moments, the money seemed to be less comfortable.
If it were in the past, they might not have thought of so many major events in the world.
The small people in the family are all authentic low-level farmers, and all they think about all day long is how to make their families rich and live a good life, so they naturally don't worry about these world affairs that only officials and masters will care about.
At most, it's just a few words of emotion, how the life of which family in the village is not good, and so on.
But now they are also people who have studied for a few years, and they have learned a lot of truths in the books, and they have been exposed to many concepts that they did not have in the past, so that they no longer seem to be confined to the one-third of an acre in the eyes of the people at the bottom.
And because they have experienced poverty at home, they can empathize with the people at the bottom the most.
Therefore, their thinking seems to have changed a little, and they have begun to feel compassion for the poor people.
Just like everyone in the Xue family at this time, after eating, there was nothing to do, so they gathered in the courtyard to talk about the mountains and talk about interesting things.
After all, the night is a rare time of the day when the whole family gathers together and is not too busy.
As he spoke, some people talked about how difficult the life of the people is now.
They are ordinary people, but they don't dare to criticize those officials and masters, so they can only describe how miserable the people are.
Then this food problem must be involved, so it involves the production and promotion of sweet potatoes.
"If only everyone could grow sweet potatoes, with such a high grain yield, how could so many people starve to death!"
The one who made this sigh was the fourth Xue Zhujing, who was the kindest and softest of the nine sisters.
Xue Langjing's mother-in-law, Shen Shi, also said, "Alas, who said it wasn't, a few thousand catties per acre, as long as you are a little hardworking, you can't starve yourself." ”
When the two of them said this, the originally active atmosphere suddenly became dull.
