The magistrate weighed the pros and cons in his heart for a while, but still felt that something was not appropriate, and hesitated for a while and said:

"I think this method of borrowing is feasible, and with the testimony of this official, I can guarantee that Mr. Su will be able to recover all the money released in the end, but why do you have to charge ninety percent of the interest for businessmen, is this a bit too high?"

Su Baiya smiled and said: "Master Shang, there are some words that we don't break, but we all know in our hearts that if the harvest is unsatisfactory for some reason, the contract may not be good." ”

She paused and said: "But it is not in vain that I charge ninety percent of the interest, if it is harvest time, the yield of rice is less than sixty percent of eight hundred stones, then I can not collect a penny of the silver money for rice seeds." ”

"Master Shang can imagine how much risk I took from this, and the person who grows rice can be said to make a steady profit, even if there is only a hundred stone harvest per acre of land in the end, it is a lot more than planting chestnuts."

"I didn't ask for a lot of sincerity, and those big families still feel that the interest I charge is too high, so I can only apologize for not being able to cooperate."

Zhixian held the cup, weighed the pros and cons again for a while, and nodded: "That's the reason, then let's do what Mr. Su said." ”

He knew in his heart that although what Su Baiya said was good, it was actually just to make money.

But wouldn't it be a fool not to make money, let alone to make it to death.

If he had mastered the rice seeds, he might have bought hundreds of acres of land and hired someone to plant them, earning more or less by himself, or cooperating with a large family with a Zhuangzi, where the land was produced and the rice seeds were produced here, and the final income was fifty-fifty cents.

In any case, it is more than the current interest on rice seeds, what else can be said?

"Thank you Master Shang for your understanding," Su Baiya paused and said, "Growing rice requires a lot of water, otherwise it will inevitably affect the yield, if you can build a canal as much as possible, sufficient water sources can ensure the harvest of rice." ”

"There is no problem with this, I will send the rice planting to each village on a certain day, and let every family dig a ditch, and it will be completed in a few days."

.......

The magistrate discussed the specific matters with Su Baiya, rushed back to Qulan Town overnight, and gathered all the three classes of officials early the next morning.

conveyed the results of the last discussion between him and Su Baiya to the third class of officials in detail.

Then the third class of officials conveyed to the village chiefs where to buy rice seeds, how to plant rice, and how to build canals.

The village chief then conveys these matters to the people in his jurisdiction.

If it were a weekday, the village chief would not have any enthusiasm for the things handed to him by the superiors, and he would delay it as long as he could, and he would not get any benefit from it anyway.

But this time it was different, and the matter of rice cultivation was really related to the interests of myself and the people in the area at hand.

One acre of land can produce eight stones of rice, and there are many people who have verified it, which proves that it is not an exaggeration, and the people of the county government have affirmed it, so what doubts are there?

The village chiefs of each village hurriedly gathered the villagers under their jurisdiction and conveyed the good deeds of rice planting.

The villagers closed their mouths happily when they heard this, and praised the county government that could only suck blood in the past, but now it is finally a matter of personnel for a while.

Even if you don't grow rice, planting other crops requires a lot of water, and picking up water to water the ground can exhaust individuals.

I had long hoped that the canal could be built to bring water from the river to the village, but now with the order issued by the yamen, the villagers did not need anyone's supervision or urging, and consciously rolled up their sleeves and took hoes and shovels to dry.

Some of them worked hard to dig ditches, while others came to the cornucopia company to buy rice.

At first, it was okay, but there were not many people who came to buy rice seeds, and they came to sell one by one, and basically there was no need to queue up and there was no chaos.

But as another day passed, villagers from farther places came one after another, ranging from dozens to hundreds.

Hundreds of people poured into the company at once, and the people all wanted to buy rice seeds as soon as possible and plant them as soon as possible, so they all crowded towards the grain sales point.

As a result, the company is in a mess, and it is difficult to operate normally.

As a last resort, Su Baiya had no choice but to order the people from the security department to drive the people out of the company first, close the door and guard outside.

The grain sales point can only receive more than 10 villagers at a time, so a rule was set to wait for one person to buy rice and then release one person.

The villagers also expressed their understanding of this, especially those who were a little thinner, because it could be said that there were people crowded in the crowded part of the company, and some people's shoes were squeezed off, and they have not been found yet!

Now as long as you wait patiently in line, it will always be your turn, and I don't have to worry about the other shoe being squeezed out.

Perhaps the news conveyed by some village chiefs was incomplete or did not listen carefully, and among the large number of villagers who came one after another, some people were still full of doubts, asking how to grow rice, how to buy rice, and some even asked whether it was free to receive it?

In this regard, Su Baiya temporarily instructed his men to invite a vacant land in the company, and asked several women from the Propaganda Department to temporarily form a propaganda point to solve difficult problems.

If you have any questions, go to the publicity point to consult, and then come to line up to buy.

Wu Xian is still working hard in the heavenly domain to harvest grain, Su Li is crazy with Mrs. Ruan these days, and if he can ignore the things in the company, he will definitely not come back.

Therefore, the sale of rice was entrusted to Ou Jianquan, who sat on a chair outside the warehouse and wrote a detailed register of the people who came to buy rice.

In addition to the name and address, the contents of the registration are how many acres of land there are in the family, and so on.

In the future, people will randomly check whether there are any problems with the number of fields registered, and check whether the purchased rice seeds have been planted in the fields.

After all, most of the reason for the harvest of rice is the reason for the rice seed in the heavenly region, and it is necessary to prevent people with intentions from hoarding it and selling it to people in other counties at a high price.

The magistrate is particularly in favor of this approach, and if there is also high-yield rice in other places, then his political achievements will not be so dazzling.

He said that in the future, he would let the third shift of officials cooperate with the people of the supervision department to verify the situation of rice planting, and if it is found that there is a private collection, he will not be merciful.

Because the amount of rice seeds sold this time is bound to be very large, the payment collected will be very large, and at the same time, some people will choose the loan model, and the financial department is under great pressure.

Su Baiya also made a special trip to ask Ruan Ruiyi to help and borrowed the account room of Fuyun Building.

More than 10 account offices are responsible for collecting money, verifying, and signing contracts.

In order for the villagers to be able to plant rice correctly, after purchasing rice, they can wait in the meeting room.

When the seats are full, there will be a special person to detail what to do from seedling to harvest.
