Chapter 531: Determining the Price of Potato Seeds
"Since Sister Xiaoxue said so, I think a few patriarchs and clan elders should not delay time here, let's hurry up and count the personnel.
It is also possible for the villagers to plant potatoes in the fields a day earlier. ”
Originally, when they heard what Zhang Xiaoxue said, they couldn't sit still, but they were just hindered by the presence of His Royal Highness King Yan, and it was inconvenient for them to say goodbye.
Hearing that His Royal Highness King Yan had spoken, they asked them to hurry up and do something, so they happily agreed, and told everyone present that they were guilty, and hurriedly went to count the people who wanted to buy potatoes.
The patriarch took a few steps out of the hall and suddenly remembered that he still didn't know how much potato seeds were sold for, and then turned around and asked again, "I don't know how much this potato seeds are sold for?" ”
Hearing the patriarch ask about the price of potato seeds again, the Zhang family looked at each other, and there was no one in their hearts who wanted to ask for the price of this unique potato seed.
"Why don't you tell you the price? This kind of seed was also given to you by your master, you should know the price of potatoes better than us, the farmers who dig in the soil are not rich, don't be too high. ”
In the end, it was Zhang Xiaoxue's grandfather who spoke first, wanting his granddaughter to set a price, anyway, the potatoes were also obtained by the granddaughter from her master.
He was worried that his granddaughter didn't know the price of grain seeds, and that the price was too high, and he was afraid that the people in the village would not be able to afford it.
Dad has spoken, and the rest of the Zhang family naturally has no opinion.
Although Yu Wenze also hopes that the price of potatoes will not be too high and can be accepted by ordinary people, it is not easy to persuade and reduce the interests of Zhang Xiaoxue's family, and he only waits for Zhang Xiaoxue to make a decision.
Zhang Xiaoxue saw that her family gave this decision to herself, and she did not refuse coquettishly, anyway, from the time she took out the potato seeds, she decided to promote the potato seeds throughout the country, naturally the price should not be too high, and the public should be able to accept it.
Thinking that it would be enough to take a grain price that is neither high nor low, and their family really doesn't have to make any profit on potato seeds.
"Otherwise, Patriarch, you can tell the villagers first, we won't ask for too much for this potato seed, just like the price of wheat seed. ”
When everyone heard that Zhang Xiaoxue only set the price of potato seeds the same as the price of wheat seeds, they were stunned at first, and everyone originally felt that this novel and unique food crop should be at least higher than the price of rice seeds.
"Sister Xiaoxue, this potato seed has not been popularized yet, and the potato seeds of several of you are also unique, and you directly set the price so low, wouldn't there be no benefit to gain?
Either you raise the seeds a little more, at least like the rice seeds that are now sold at the highest grain price, and at least you can make a little more money. ”
Yu Wenze once again saw Zhang Xiaoxue's kindness, originally he thought that when the price was too high, the villagers would bear too much, and he wanted the government to come forward to make up for it.
According to the price Zhang Xiaoxue said, for Zhang Xiaoxue and the others, this profit is too big.
"No, many people in the village can't afford to buy rice seeds, so they just sell them at the usual price of wheat seeds.
It's always higher than sorghum and corn seeds, so everyone can accept it, and we don't think about how much money potato seeds make. ”
Zhang Xiaoxue rejected Yu Wenze's kindness, since her family asked her to decide the price of potato seeds, I believe that no one in her family will object to this decision.
"Okay, let's set the price of potato seeds at the same price as wheat seeds, so that everyone in the village can afford to buy potato seeds, and there will be no things that no one can't afford." ”
Zhang Xiaoxue's grandfather was the first to speak up in favor of Zhang Xiaoxue's decision, and then the rest of the family also agreed, feeling that Zhang Xiaoxue's decision was not wrong, this is also a matter for the benefit of the country and the people, and there is no need to be too careful.
The patriarch who was waiting for the Zhang family to decide the price of potatoes, and the other clan elders who stopped, were also touched by the Zhang family's kindness and thanked them on behalf of the villagers.
In such a large village, there are still a few villagers who know that Zhang Xiaoxue's three families are ripe potatoes, and it is not realistic to want to notify the villagers one by one, which takes too long.
Therefore, several people discussed on the way, went directly to the clan, took the gong, and began to shout while beating, informing the villagers who were interested in buying potato seeds, and went to the patriarch's house to count the number of people.
Such a move, of course, shocked all the villagers in Zhangjia Village, and when everyone heard the good news, they all happily went to the patriarch's house to sign up.
The patriarch was busy here, but only said that Zhang Xiaoxue's family, since Yu Wenze had just decided to go to Zhang Xiaoxue's wasteland to see how the potatoes grown at their home were growing, he put forward this idea, and naturally there was no opposition from the Zhang family.
Speaking of the growth of the potatoes on the newly reclaimed wasteland, not only Zhang's father, but also Zhang Xiaoxue's grandfather and uncle, third uncle, and fourth uncle, all had a proud smile on their faces.
"Your Highness should indeed take a look at the growth of the crops on the wasteland, in fact, not only the potatoes are growing well, but the corn seeds that Xue'er took out and the corn planted are also growing very well, which is countless times better than the corn seeds planted at home before.
If you don't say that this is a newly reclaimed wasteland, anyone who sees it will think that it is actually a high-quality fertile land.
Haha, Your Highness, don't you know that our corn and potatoes are a scene in the village, and many of the villagers can't take care of their own crops, and they have to go to our wasteland every few days to see the growth of potatoes and corn, and they are not much less worried about this aspect than our family. ”
"Oh, the food grown in the wasteland is so good, so let's go over now, shall we?"
Yu Wenze heard Zhang's father say that the grain grown on their family's wasteland was better than the grain grown in their family's original fertile land.
I was still very surprised, Yu Wenze originally thought that potatoes were so high-yielding, planted on wasteland, half of the yield was also very good, and when the time came, farmers were encouraged to reclaim wasteland, and there must be many people who were willing.
In this situation, there are such perverted high-yield crop seeds, and I believe that the momentum of reclaiming wasteland is even more vigorous, and I am afraid that there will really be a scramble to reclaim wasteland in the future.
