Chapter 12 Grain for Food
Sun's lobby.
"Xianggong, I look very good at the new products you made, but it's a pity that most of the farmers now have farm tools at hand, plus there was a rain disaster a while ago, they suffered heavy losses, I'm afraid there is no extra money to buy."
Hearing that the farm tools designed by Wang Chong were not easy to sell, Sun Xiuxiu comforted him.
In fact, Sun Xiuxiu is also very strange, it stands to reason that the farm tools designed by Wang Chong are really good, not only lighter than before, but also more efficient, why can't they be sold.
"It's okay, I'll figure it out, lady, I'll go out in the afternoon."
After finishing speaking, Wang Zhong finished drinking the tea in his hand, bowed to the grandson on the first seat in the hall, and left here.
"Hey, Xianggong is in a hurry to achieve quick success." Sun Xiuxiu, who was standing outside the grandson, sighed.
"He also wants to make a career, I think he is not in a hurry or impatient, he is much stronger than your brother, but his body is weaker, you usually buy more supplements for him." Sun Yuanwai advised.
"Got it."
…………
Zhao Mansion, an ordinary house.
"Hahaha...... I just said, as far as the incompetent son-in-law of the Sun family invented some new farm tools, and wanted to compete with our Zhao family's knife shop, what can I say, it will be a complete defeat. ”
Zhao Shou, the eldest son of the Zhao family, was holding a folding fan in his hand and sneering.
The few people on the side were also members of the Zhao family, and they all nodded with a smile.
Zhao Wu, the head of the Zhao family, said with a smile: "I heard that this time the Sun family spent thousands of taels of silver to make this batch of farm tools, and now they are all going to rot at home." ”
"Dad, let them toss, if they toss it like this, the Sun family will be tossed sooner or later, and we will be able to take the opportunity to buy their property."
"Well, other industries should also take advantage of the situation to suppress, the Sun family recently went to a neighboring county to buy cloth, have you talked to that side?"
"As I said, we have all the cloth, and they can only go to other provinces to buy goods, and those horse thieves will have enough for them to drink a pot at that time."
"Haha, that's great."
………
In the afternoon, Wang Zhong sat in the carriage, thinking about the news he had received these days.
Over the years, if you want to say who the biggest competitor of the Sun family is, I'm afraid it is this Zhao family, although there is nothing on the surface, but behind the scenes, often make tricks, when he left home today, he also heard that the cloth in the neighboring counties was purchased by the Zhao family, and it was clear that he wanted to monopolize the market.
There are still many problems in front of him, and it also makes Wang Zhong understand that without status and resources, sometimes it is really difficult to move an inch.
"No wonder there is this task, if it weren't for me, with the identity of the original owner Wang Erping's ordinary talent, I really wouldn't be doing well."
Throwing away his thoughts, Wang Chong came to the tenant house that their grandson's family rented out.
The fertile land in this village belonged to the Sun family, and it was rented to these tenants every year.
It stands to reason that the landlords were very disgusted by these tenants, but with the exception of the Sun family, who were kind-hearted and had a fair price of fertile land for rent, they were deeply respected by these farmers.
"Come on, come on, the best farm tools, let's take a walk and take a look."
A subordinate of the Sun family began to shout at the signal of Wang Chong.
As for Wang Chong, after asking the village chief to gather the masses, he began to demonstrate the use of these farm tools.
He thought about it, the reason why it is difficult to sell is not because these people don't understand, if they do, it will be easy to sell.
After all, this thing is going to be sold out of stock in the Great Dragon Dynasty.
After some introduction, sure enough, the farm tools were recognized by the villagers.
"It's easy to use, but the price is too expensive."
"Yes, all my family's money is used to repair the house."
Wang Chong had already guessed that the villagers might not be able to afford it, and he was not in a hurry, so he continued: "You don't need to buy it today, you can give it away for free, and you can exchange it for grain next year." ”
Therefore, Wang Chong signed an agreement with each family to convert the value of each farm tool into grain for him at the end of the year.
Of course, in order to dispel the concerns of the peasants, he also joined the above, and if the harvest is not good, the grain can be given to him again in a year.
After all, most of the people have damaged their farm tools after the disaster, and with this batch of farm tools, their work efficiency has also improved a lot, so they have signed agreements and drawn charges.
For the next three months, Wang Chong simply stayed at the village chief's house, began to accompany them to the fields, and personally taught them how to use dung to irrigate the fields of crops to become fertile.
In order to prevent the fertile fields from being flooded again, at his suggestion, water reservoirs were dug at the edge of each field, which is a common ditch in modern rural areas.
In this way, the rainwater not only flows into the ditch, which is not easy to cause flooding, but also ensures that there is enough water to irrigate the farmland in summer, and more importantly, it can also raise some aquatic products, so that the villagers can eat fish, and the silt at the bottom of the water can be dug out and watered in the ground every year, which is also a good fertilizer.
Of course, these things are not done immediately, but it is foreseeable that in a few years, the village will definitely change dramatically.
…………
"What, you put ...... You've given away all those farm tools! ”
Three months later, when Wang Chong came back and told Sun Xiuxiu the news, she almost fainted.
"Don't worry, didn't I say that I signed an agreement, the grain harvest will be used to offset it, and in addition, the most important thing for me to do this is to advertise."
In the room, Wang Chong drank tea and said.
"Advertising, what is advertising?"
"Well, it's a kind of propaganda, the countryside is actually very big, as long as our products are good, sooner or later everyone will recognize it, besides, our capital is just a little late."
"But now the family doesn't have much money, and I have to go to other provinces to buy cloth, and now I am afraid of encountering horse thieves again, so my brother personally escorted it out."
"He's gone?" Wang Zhong frowned.
"Well, it's been three days."
"Forget it, I had a way to deal with horse thieves, but it will take time."
Sun Xiuxiu was shocked again, "Do you really have a way to deal with horse thieves?" ”
"Yes, but it will take some time."
"Can you tell me how to do it?" Sun Xiuxiu asked eagerly, if she could deal with the horse thief, her family's supply would be gone.
"I didn't understand what I told you, so let's rest early."
Wang Zhong lay down on the bed, "By the way, how is your father's health during the time I have been away from home?" ”
