Chapter 167 Growth

After the bumper harvest in the south of the Yangtze River and the summer harvest began to come out, the grain prices in the market began to fall after a few days of sudden rise.

It was not until the autumn harvest that grain prices slowly stabilized, and even so, grain prices were still higher than in previous years.

Conversely, the prices that farmers sell to grain merchants have also risen a little.

Regardless of the situation, most of the farmers are happy in their hearts, and this year they have finally made a profit.

There have been bumper harvests before, but when there is more grain, the price of grain is cheap, in fact, except for the more rations left, everyone does not make much money.

If only it could be like this every year, and if there is a good harvest and the grain can be sold at a price, the family will definitely be much better.

Only a few big grain merchants know that such a thing is very difficult to encounter.

This year's bumper harvest, they want to bring down the price of grain, but the imperial court seems to be interested in buying grain with the peasants and transporting it to southern Xinjiang, plus the grain they want to talk about has not been discussed, don't look at the bumper harvest in Jiangnan, in fact, there is not much grain circulating in the market.

They still want to make a fortune from southern Xinjiang, so although they don't want to, they have to raise the price of grain.

Lin Qingwan didn't know about these things, after all, the Lin family only sold grain, not food, so the news in this area lagged behind.

It was Lin Yubin who only noticed something different when she talked about it.

Lin Yubin naturally couldn't know about these things, she heard some news from Shang Mingjie, and knew that her aunt loved money, so she came to give her ideas, "Auntie, let's also collect autumn grain and go to southern Xinjiang, I heard that the price of grain over there is three times that of here." ”

Lin Qingwan directly squirted out the tea in her mouth, glared and said, "Who are you listening to?" ”

"Second cousin, their family bought a lot of grain to be shipped to southern Xinjiang, and now the eldest cousin is still collecting grain."

But I haven't seen him for two months, Shang Mingjie has darkened three degrees, and a young man who was originally white and tender has now become a peasant boy with a heroic spirit, and if it is a little darker, it will become black charcoal.

However, Shang Mingjie looked very energetic, so Lin Yubin asked him after laughing for a long time, "Why is the second cousin so tanned, could it be that you also went out when I went to Yangzhou?" ”

Shang Mingjie scratched his head and smiled: "I didn't go far away, I was in your Zhuangzi." ”

Shang Mingjie looked at her and said softly: "My sister didn't tell me when she left, I didn't know until I came to look for you that you were gone." When I heard that you had been attacked, it scared me. ”

Originally, he wanted to look for her, but everyone ran out of the city, but he happened to run into his uncle, and he was arrested.

Later, he was strictly guarded, and he couldn't even get out of the door, but he made a big fuss and his grandmother came out before he came out.

However, Shang Mingjie didn't tell Lin Yubin about these things, but stared at her and asked, "Is my sister scared?" ”

Lin Yubin shook his head and said proudly: "I'm more courageous than you, and I haven't come back, what are you doing in my Grange?" ”

"Didn't my aunt always want to find someone who could write a book for Uncle Chen to write a book on agriculture? That's where I came to write the book of agriculture. Shang Mingjie smiled: "It's also a coincidence, that day when I passed by the city gate, I saw the notice posted by my aunt there, and when I asked, I realized that it had been posted for more than a year, but no one had uncovered the post, so I unveiled it." ”

Lin Yubin's eyes widened, "You still write agricultural books?" ”

Shang Mingjie smiled indifferently, "I won't go to school, I have nothing to do anyway, so I'll help my aunt do what I can." ”

In fact, he was stupid, and he really couldn't think of what he could do.

is an example of a scholar, but he may not be able to be admitted to the Jinshi in the year he is established, not to mention that he has the right to be his own master?

He can't make his own decisions, so how can he ......

Shang Mingjie looked at Lin Yubin's immature and fair face and didn't think about it anymore.

He wants Cousin Lin to be good, at least to live a happy and carefree life.

Wenju can't go, and martial arts can't go, he learned riding and martial arts, and he also turned over a few military books, but he doesn't think that he can do martial arts with these alone.

The most important thing is that if he is a martial artist, his mother will definitely send him to his uncle, and in the end, he will not rely on the Zhao family, so why do you make your own decisions?

Unable to think of a way out and having nothing to do, when Shang Mingjie was caught by Zhao Sheng and hugged the city gate, he looked up and saw the recruitment post posted on the bulletin board next to the city gate.

The paper had been yellowed, but it had been firmly attached to it, and the words were also large and easy to understand.

In one sense, the Lin Family Courtyard recruits people with lofty ideals who can write agricultural books for the old farmers.

People with lofty ideals, what kind of people are considered people with lofty ideals?

Shang Mingjie was in a trance and was picked off by Zhao Sheng who was holding his fingers on the city gate, and dragged the person back to Shang's house.

Then Shang Mingjie gritted his teeth and decided to go to the Lin family's courtyard after going out, even if it was to write a book for an old farmer, that would be a thing, wouldn't it?

Otherwise, when will you find your own way?

Therefore, after Shang Mingjie got rid of the sea of suffering, he ran to the Lin family's courtyard every day.

Except for going to school and occasionally going home for a few meals, almost all of his time was spent in the Lin family's courtyard.

In order to save time, he even invited Mr. Lu to go out and told his family that he would study hard and live in Qingfeng Mountain.

Where do you not live in the Lu family?

It doesn't matter, they can rent a thatched house with Aunt Lin's family to live in.

Aren't there a few thatched huts in their garden that have been built for rent?

It's two taels of silver a month, which is very cheap.

Mrs. Shang, who can build a thatched house casually for two taels of silver: "......"

But recently, she has had a stiff quarrel with her son, and she just paid some money, anyway, now that Lin's aunt and nephew are not here, let's live.

So Shang Mingjie could follow Uncle Chen and them openly, observe, learn and record.

In the morning, I go to the field with them to plant vegetables, then go to school, and when I come back from school, I go to the field with them to see wheat, rice, and various crops, listen to how they judge the state of these crops, and then estimate the harvest.

How crops behave is water shortage, how to replenish water, when to replenish water, and how much water......

How is there a shortage of fertilizer, how should it be supplemented, when should it be supplemented, how much is appropriate, what if it is too much, and what should be done if it is less......

and how to make farm manure, etc.

Then it was time for the summer harvest.

Every year there will be a holiday for spring planting, summer harvest and autumn harvest academies, not only for the Lu family, but also for other academies, prefecture schools, county schools, etc.

After all, most of today's students have land at home, and no matter whether they are rich or poor, they can't let go of farming.

This is an attitude of the imperial court, of course, it does not matter whether the students work in the fields during this holiday, or go to hunt on horseback or play in the imperial court.

In the past, Shang Mingjie used to call friends to go out for poetry meetings, literary meetings, or run horses and walk dogs during such long holidays.

This time, he declined the invitation of all his classmates and friends, and silently changed his body and followed Uncle Chen to the field to cut wheat.

Shang Mingjie, who was clumsy and would accidentally cut his own feet or hands, slowly became a farmer, although he was not as fast as Uncle Chen, but he could be as fast as the eight or nine-year-old children in the village.

The most important thing is that the harvesting process is boring, so Uncle Chen and they started with sowing winter wheat in early winter.

Although Shang Mingjie is not unforgettable, his memory is still very good.

After carefully writing it down, I will go back at the end of the evening, and then continue the next day, and then confirm it again after the record, and then ask for the different opinions of other old farmers, and record the methods they provide, and the book will be half completed.

Now he mainly learns from Uncle Chen how to open up the wasteland quickly and effectively, so it is inevitable that it will be darker under the scorching sun.

A few **** days ago, when the old lady and the second lady saw him blackened like this, their hearts were about to die of pain.

How did such a handsome kid become like this?

If it weren't for their own children, they would definitely die of disgust.

Then Mrs. Shang detained him at home to raise his face, this time even Mrs. Shang didn't speak for him, but said: "If you want to learn something, then follow your eldest brother to run errands, and have a long experience, you are the son of a family, how can you go to work in the field?" The loss of identity is despised by people. ”

Shang Mingjie: If it is so easy to compromise, then he is not Shang Mingjie.

But he didn't want to shout out uncompromisingly like before, this time he expressed his meaning, and when he saw that the adults couldn't listen, he didn't rush to make them agree with him, so he simply obediently followed the eldest brother out.

Anyway, he has to sort out the things he recorded, so he should rest for a while and talk about it when the autumn harvest comes.

As a result, he followed Shang Mingyuan out for two days, and he wisely discovered that something was wrong.

Shang Mingyuan is buying a large amount of grain.

The Shang family also has a grain store, but it is very small and has limited consumption capacity, so a large part of the grain produced in the Shangjia Zhuangzi is sold to grain merchants every year.

But this year, Shang Mingyuan not only did not sell, but also bought a large number of them from farmers, and the price was not low.

In the past, Shang Mingjie could even ask questions like "Aren't the seeds of rice rice?" but now he is familiar with the price of grain.

In addition to the selling price in the grain store, he also knows the purchase price of the grain merchants and farmers, and the comparison of grain prices in the past three years.

Naturally, it wasn't him who went out of his way to check, but Uncle Chen sighed with him when they chatted.

The price of wheat harvested last year was only six yuan, but the grain shop turned around and sold it for eight yuan, and it was even lower when the autumn harvest came, but fortunately, the price of millet was okay, but it was only seven yuan, but by last year, the price had risen by five yuan, and this year, when the green and yellow crops were not harvested, it directly increased by two times.

Uncle Chen looked at the tips of their hearts and couldn't help but regret, "If we keep the grain until the beginning of the year, how much money can we make?" ”

He sighed again: "It's a pity that even if we keep the grain, we can't sell it, even if we do, the price is not so high, and the most profitable ones are the big grain merchants." ”

Therefore, when it comes to understanding the price of grain, Shang Mingjie is only afraid that he knows more than Shang Mingyuan, who buys grain.

So he couldn't help but be curious, "Big brother, this autumn grain is coming down, and this year is another bumper harvest, what are you doing with so much grain?" ”

Shang Mingyuan said proudly: "You don't know this, our Daliang has just collected most of the territory of the Southern Han Dynasty, and the people there have been at war since last winter, how can they have time to farm?" This is full of desolation and does not produce food, so it is not possible to buy grain at a high price?

So I plan to transport this grain to southern Xinjiang and make a lot of money when the time comes. ”
