"It seems very unwise to sell grain at this time, because it seems that the current drought will already affect the next grain farming, and the grain production in the Guanzhong area will definitely be reduced, and the price of grain will definitely rise."

There are two main types of food sources in the Guanzhong region, one of which comes from taxes. Another big category is grain merchants who transport grain from other places to sell.

However, the scope of grain transportation will not be too wide, unless the price of this grain can be sold very high, if it is not transported through the canal, it will actually lose money to transport grain to sell, especially when the price of grain in Chang'an is stable.

Therefore, most of Chang'an's grain comes from the Guanzhong area, and the grain on the periphery of the Guanzhong area can also be replenished from the outside.

After all, the grain in the Guanzhong area has always been in a state of shortage.

This is also very easy to understand, in the feudal dynasty, in fact, most of the people were peasants, and they needed to buy grain to eat, most of them were urban residents, and the peasants probably calculated how much grain they would eat all year round. If it is finally calculated, but in fact, they are not going to buy, but will reduce the amount of food.

For example, if you can eat something dried, then you will change to a thin one.

If it is not enough, two thin meals will be changed to one thin meal. In short, they find a way to have food to eat, they will not go hungry for a long time, and it is their desire to be able to live, and generally they will not buy food.

Even to get to town, they have to walk a very long way. For them, it takes a lot of time, but it also takes a lot of effort. Therefore, if you want to buy food, most of them will ask for a little bit from those who have surpluses.

At this time, they will find a way to go to the field to collect some wild vegetables, or catch some wild beasts to eat.

As for the extravagant practice of buying grain, they really seldom did it, because the merchants had to make some money by sending the grain to the towns and selling it. It is many times more expensive than the grain they produce themselves. However, when they took the grain to the towns and sold it, they could not sell it. They can't stay in the town all the time waiting for others to buy them, and most of them can only sell to grain merchants and sell to Liangshan, and the price they are willing to pay is basically much worse.

Fan Jingjing wants to sell grain in large quantities, and if she sells it to those grain merchants, it is tantamount to doing a loss-making business.

Although Sun Erlang lives in the Shanghai Forestry Bureau, all transactions are decided by the Shanghai Forestry Bureau, and they do not need to participate at all.

However, these people still have to go to neighboring places to visit relatives, and the people in the neighborhood are still very concerned about the issue of grain prices.

The farmers near Chang'an are not the same as those in other places. They are sensitive to things like price. After all, Chang'an is a big market. There are many things full of temptation, all of which are derived from Chang'an, and many people will still be tempted to buy something.

The most of these things are farm tools. There are also products related to agricultural farming.

These are things that can increase their food production, and they are still very willing to care about it when they have the spare capacity.

So when people who are visiting relatives come, they especially like to talk to each other.

Sun Erlang doesn't have many relatives, but the lady who gave birth to her daughter married her from outside. Although she died in childbirth when she gave birth to a son, she never interrupted her contact with her relatives.

Compared with ordinary farmers, Sun Erlang's sensitivity is much higher. And since becoming Fan Jingjing's housekeeper, he has been very serious about enriching himself to understand things in the outside world, and wants to become the most useful housekeeper.

He could see from the people Fan Jingjing came into contact that Fan Jingjing's future was still very optimistic. What's more, what Fan Jingjing took out, even he couldn't understand it at first. After Fan Jingjing's explanation, his brain was able to turn around.

"We're not going to sell food, we're going to exchange it. As long as the craftsmen in the Guanzhong area, or the people who buy food and eat at the leading salary, can come to us to exchange food, and the craftsman will exchange the handicrafts he does, and we will not feel that anything is valuable. ”

"So can these people exchange for loyalty cards?"

The scorecard is no longer carved by Fan Jingjing herself, but a newly recruited carpenter from the Fan Family Manor.

However, the points are only worth substitutes, and they have not yet been produced, and the anti-counterfeiting ability is very weak.

"They can exchange, but if they want to exchange for a point card and buy things in the Fan Family Manor, they can only consume all of them, and they can't take them out of the Fan Family Manor."

"But our previous loyalty cards have actually been left outside, do we want to recycle them all or not recognize their value?" Sun Erlang was a little hesitant. He felt that these loyalty cards were quite useful, and could increase the purchasing power of merchants. Moreover, in several villages outside the manor, there are now many people who have point cards and often enter the manor to exchange for some daily necessities, so it can be said that the quality of life is much higher than before.

At least they don't have to be constrained by the merchant who wants to change it, and the merchant can come to this place to buy things and sell them in the city.

The place where they sell is not necessarily in Chang'an, it is more dangerous in other places, but they know that some merchants have already started to go to other cities in groups.

Otherwise, the goods of the Fan family manor would not be so famous in other places, causing this grain exchange turmoil.

He also noticed that this time Fan Jingjing's operation could make the distribution center of commodities outside the Fan family manor, and he had already noticed that the outside place was not only being developed by the farmers of the Fan family manor. There are also many businesses that have started to set up stalls in the neighborhood. Even the snack sellers gather in this place.

Many people have opened up land before applying for development with the nearby yamen, and after the land is sorted out, there are merchants who come to buy it. So the people of the Fan family manor, after selling a part, also began to hoard land.

On the periphery of the Fan family's manor, there are more houses unconsciously, and they are quite well-built houses. It's not a simple mud house.

Perhaps because of the popularity, some people from nearby villages have also moved out. However, when they moved out, they did not build a traditional thatched hut, but bought cement from the Fang family manor to build a house. Houses built of cement are relatively sturdy. The Fan family manor is not expensive. The most important thing is that I heard that the nearby villages want to build houses, and the cement money can be owed. You can work, and you can pay back with food.

People in this era are not used to owing money, after all, they are used to usury, and if they owe money for a long time, they will make interest, so they are used to paying off the debts they owe early. Even if Fan Jingjing's interest is only one percent, it is the same.

Yes, Fan Jingjing's good deeds are not free, but still have to collect interest, the main purpose is not to make money, but to avoid luxury and waste. What's more, Fan Jingjing is not a rich person, if she doesn't recycle a little, there will be no food, and she will continue to do things.

"It's not good to get back the points card that was sent out...... It seems that I have to ask about the progress of the manufacture of new paper. ”

Fan Jingjing knew that only by issuing new scorecards that others could not forge be able to promote the scorecards.

Perhaps it was also a coincidence that the person in charge of researching the new paper came to Fan Jingjing at this time.

"We have developed a paper that is full of toughness and is not easy to break, do you want to take a look?"

"Yes, of course you have to go and see it, Sun Erlang will come with me."

Papermaking is a polluting business that requires the use of a lot of chemicals.

However, Datang's papermaking method is relatively environmentally friendly, and the pollution is not high, as long as it does not need to be in the upstream of domestic water, through the self-purification ability of water, it can slowly restore cleanliness.

A few days later, Fan Jingjing looked at the scorecard in front of her, the scorecard in front of her was not as light and thin as rice paper but more tough, and it would not break even if she rubbed it in her hand. Although the ink does not absorb very well, it is not easy to rinse off even if it is wet.

At this stage, Datang does not have this kind of paper, so it is the best anti-counterfeiting.

Of course, if the people in the paper workshop resign, it is difficult to say whether it will spread outside, although Fan Jingjing signed some contracts with the other party. But many people in this era do not have the concept of contracts.

But there's no concept of a contract, it's okay. Fan Jingjing has the royal background, if the other party leaks the papermaking method and causes the fake card to be popular, it is easy to use the official power to capture the other party.

Imperial court officials pay great attention to your net worth background when doing things, and you have a good net worth background, and you are very efficient when doing things.

Fan Jingjing also had to take advantage of this.

The feelings between people and people are slowly fermented through continuous contact and continuous running-in.

At first, it was an interaction between more than 100 people, and slowly, Fan Jingjing had some feelings with the people in the lobby.

Slowly, she kind of wants to make everyone's life better.

But what the emperor wants is to change the will of God. Let the rain fall.

Although Fan Jingjing was able to make it rain in a small number of places, the emperor's request could not be helped.

But she couldn't watch everyone starve to death, even if the locust plague was over, everyone had food in store at that time, but this drought and disaster will slowly ferment in the future.

It's going to snowball, getting bigger and bigger.

But it takes time at this point, and the bridge gives Fan Jingjing a chance. What Fan Jingjing is operating also needs time to ferment.

If there was no disaster, food prices would not have risen, and the effect of Fan Jingjing's operation would not have been too good, but with this disaster, Fan Jingjing would have been given a chance to come to the disaster.

At the time of disaster relief, I turn the wasteland into a lively and lively place. Fan Jingjing was born in a crowded city, and even when she decided to farm, she rented a piece of land in a village on the mountain. She doesn't like living in isolation.

To put it simply, she hopes that when she is hungry, she can go out and buy food to eat. When you want new clothes, you can go shopping right away.

When you want to eat peaches, you can pick them when you get home.

The emperor gave Fan Jingjing a wasteland, which was equivalent to giving Fan Jingjing a blank canvas, and let Fan Jingjing start to build her new home on the blank canvas.

The Niu family manor has its own tenant farmers, as well as various craftsmen, but these craftsmen are still farmers strictly speaking, and do not belong to the craftsmen under the care of the imperial court, and the craftsmen are passed down from generation to generation. Responsible for various projects of the imperial court, and will supervise and produce various affairs. It can be said that he is the most mature person. Because they have the best master from the beginning, the master and the master can also achieve further abilities through various competitions.

There are also some officials in the imperial court, similar to craftsmen, who pass on all kinds of knowledge to their sons but not to their daughters.

But in troubled times, these craftsmen wandered all over the world and became homeless people everywhere, and some people hid their identities at all.

Although their craft allowed them to feed and clothe themselves, their freedom was controlled by the imperial court. What's more, their children and grandchildren have been craftsmen for generations, and they have not come forward.

Whenever there is a change of dynasty, it is when these people find a way to change their identity.

The Niu family collected some craftsmen and asked these accounts to hand over more skilled people.

And make sure they have something to eat in troubled times.

The people who do this are not only the Niu family, but also many nobles. This is tantamount to digging up the imperial court and the royal family, but everyone is very happy.

They knew that the royal family would produce more craftsmen no matter what, but the craftsmen in their hands would be able to make their lives better than others.

The ginger blacksmith is free to leave the Niu family. It is because their ancestors did not belong to the craftsman family, he was self-taught, and he was kind to the Niu family.

Between grievances and grievances, it is difficult to say who is better to whom.

And Fan Jingjing is for the Niu family, they think it is their own family. When it was confirmed that the child was pregnant, they sent whatever Fan Jingjing needed.

They wanted to use these means to touch Fan Jingjing's heart.

This is also the consequence of their awareness of compliance and precaution in Shuiyun Palace, otherwise they would have kidnapped Fan Jingjing home a long time ago.

"Big lady, Mrs. Niu is looking for you."

When she doesn't have time in class, Fan Jingjing usually works in the fields.

However, her fields are separated by a small block, and the greenhouses are covered with glass. It is Fan Jingjing who produces the glaze, and selects the most trustworthy people.

Now Fan Jingjing has been able to roughly judge who can be trusted and who can't be trusted from the water balloon. People who can provide water polo energy are generally trustworthy.

When the glass is produced, most of it is not yet crystal clear, and the crystal clear places are cut into mirrors and sold.

In the lobby, the glaze is a very precious treasure, often brought by merchants from the Western Regions to sell the goods. As for the glass that is not transparent enough, it is naturally regarded as the glass of the greenhouse by Fan Jingjing.

But after all, glass is a valuable thing, she didn't build a tall glass wall, so that people can walk in, but just built a greenhouse of about 30 centimeters against the farmland for seedlings.
