After glancing at everyone, Li Ming nodded, and then said: "I do know something, let's put it this way, do you know the grain output of Dahan this year?" ”

"I don't know." Everyone shook their heads, "But it shouldn't be very high, though...... Leader Huo does have some magic, so that a wild place like Yumen Pass can be turned into an oasis and grow food, but this place itself was originally the Gobi Desert, and this land is very barren. ”

"Maybe, but what I do know is that Dahan's grain production last year was more than the average yield of our Datang land per acre, and the area of their acre of land is one-third smaller than the area of our acre." Li Ming said with a smile.

"This ...... Impossible, right?! "Everyone was stunned, with a small area, the yield is even higher? Doesn't that mean that the area is the same, and the yield will be higher?!

"I won't lie to you, so, it is said that after this year, the grain production of the entire Han will explode sharply, which means that the price of grain this year will not be too high, and the land here in Changlezhou itself will not have a high grain production, but what I know is that the leader wants Changlezhou to grow a new crop, a cash crop." Li Ming said.

"Dare to ask the head of the Li family, what is this cash crop?" The other heads of the family were a little incomprehensible for a while, in fact, their cultural level was there, but if you want to say how high it is, it won't work.

These families can have a few sets of books as inheritance, which is already considered a powerful family, and there are really not many books on them.

"Cash crops, as the name suggests, are crops that are grown mainly for selling for money, not like grain, the main output is for food, although our land here is not very suitable for growing grain, but it is said to be very suitable for growing cash crops."

"And these crops are sold for money, and if the price of grain does not go up, if you plant one acre of such cash crops, you can buy two acres of grain, do you think you will plant them?" Li Ming said with a smile.

"Is there such a crop? If food prices are stable, then of course we are willing to plant new crops. Everyone opened their mouths one after another.

"So, do you understand? No matter what you plant, you still have to hire people in the end. Li Ming said with a smile.

If this is really the case, then they will probably have to pay money when they hire someone, for example, if the tenant plants your field, and 80% of the grain planted by an acre of land is 10 yuan, then they estimate that they will give the other party a higher price than 10 yuan.

Or they can be hired directly on a long-term basis according to the month, and they will work every day anyway and be paid every month.

They all have some hesitation in this way, the problem is that whether they hesitate or not, they can't resist this, and now that they know the news in advance, they can be regarded as having some psychological preparation.

"Everyone, I won't say much if I say anything superfluous, my Li clan will not keep too much land, and I can't help all of you's embarrassment, but you are not in a hurry to make a decision then, after all, there is still time before the beginning of spring next year, and it is okay for you to wait until the beginning of spring to make a decision." Li Ming smiled and made a concluding remark.

Although Li Ming has never met Huo Gang, but from the things Huo Gang has done, he can probably understand what kind of person Leader Huo is, Leader Huo is a person who attaches great importance to these ordinary people, so as long as all this is for the benefit of ordinary people, then how do they choose, in fact, Leader Huo doesn't care.

And all these regulations can be seen, they are all beneficial to ordinary people, as long as ordinary people have income, and the Han can stabilize food prices, then don't think about it, all the people's lives will be very good!

He had some things he didn't say to these people, that is, the grain output of the Han Dynasty, in fact, Li Ming knew a little, although the Han kept the grain output secret, but after all, so much grain was harvested, and some experienced farmers only needed to glance at it to know how much the grain production was.

Then again, if the Han didn't have much food, would they dare to support these ordinary people like this?

I couldn't get any news from Li Ming, and these squires of the scholar clan could only go back, but they could be regarded as having some news, such as no matter what, there would always be news at the beginning of spring next year.

But one thing they know is that they can't resist these rules, they can only wonder how they can get more benefits under such rules.

The turmoil in Changle Continent, in fact, Huo Gang knows a little bit, don't think that the patrol and construction teams of the patrol division he sent out are all dry meals, maybe they do have work to do, but there are some people among them.

And Huo Gang said that it is equal treatment, not only to build a kang for these ordinary people for free, but even these squire families are also free to build a kang for free, of course, the construction is free, if you want to use better materials, then the material money will have to be paid by yourself.

In this process, in fact, it is easy for them to get a lot of information, not to mention anything else, what is the actual character of these squires, what is the strength of these small families, what is the prestige of the local area, and after gaining the trust of the nearby villagers, these construction teams can easily make up their minds.

In the past month or so, it can be said that Huo Gang's patrol and arrest division, the construction team has won the trust of the people at the bottom of the entire Changle Continent at once, not only trust, but also contains a lot of important information about the entire Changle Continent, which can be said to be the middle and upper classes!

Some of this information may not be useful, but some of it is certainly useful.

Information is very important in any era.

In this way, as time passed, winter finally came, and as the temperature began to drop below zero at night, these repaired villages also felt the benefits of the ondol. They don't have to spend much experience, they even need to cook one meal at night, and then the kang will be very hot, at least they don't feel so uncomfortable when they sleep.

After waiting for someone to sleep in, it will be warm all night.

With the arrival of winter, the activities of the entire Western Regions have also slowed down, in this era, not to mention marching and fighting in winter, that is, ordinary people will not go far if they don't go far.

Because in winter, especially in the Western Regions, there is too much chance of an accident.

But these are for others, for Dahan, it is winter, and it is time for government units to start working.

In the past few months, various departments have begun to fill in their own frameworks, and many departments have even tried to start operating.

And at this moment, the merchants located in Yumen Pass are finally boiling, and Dahan has shipped. To be precise, they had already placed the order, but this was the first time they had seen this goods. And this time there are two parts for merchants, the first part is merchants from some other countries in the Thirty-six Countries of the Western Regions, and even some merchants from the Great Food.

The other part is aimed at the merchants of Changle Continent, and many of these businessmen are actually the people who have been talking with Li Ming before.

Discussion is discussed, but business still has to be done, especially this wool business, of course.

Because the weather was in winter, they all knew that the wool business would soon take off.

The Commerce and Trade Bureau Building, this is a building located in Yumen Pass, but at this moment, the largest hall in the middle of the entire building is already full of people, and today there are hundreds of bosses of various commercial houses who come here alone.

But some of them are actually here to join in the fun today, and the reason why they join in the fun is to see how it is going here, because it seems that they are all coming here later.

"No. 001, Dali Commercial Bank." When the time was up, a neutral man's voice shouted directly.

"Yes." The shopkeeper of the Dali Commercial Bank, who was sitting in the first row, immediately stood up.

"Dali Commercial Bank, the third-class wool cloth is 20 points a horse, the winning bid is 2000 horses, the second-class wool cloth is 50 points a horse, the winning bid is 1000 horses, the first-class wool cloth is a yuan a horse, and the winning bid is 500 horses! First-class fine linen cloth is 80 wen a horse, and the bid is 1,000 horses! The man took out a list and shouted loudly.

With the voice that came out, a trace of ecstasy swelled on the face of the boss of the Dali Commercial Bank, and he quickly said to the man while arching his hand: "Thank you, thank you." ”

"This shopkeeper, this is your bill of lading, please take the bill of lading to the No. 3 window of Dahan Central Bank next door to pay the fee, and then bring the payment receipt and the stamped bill of lading to the No. 3 warehouse to pick up the goods." The man handed over a document in his hand.

"Understood, thank you." The shopkeeper quickly took the documents in the other party's hand, then said hello to the people around him, and turned around and left quickly.

They had already paid a deposit for these goods, but the goods had just been produced, because the total amount of goods was limited, and they didn't know how much they would win the bid, so they gave priority to low-end products.

Because they all know that for ordinary people, this low-end product is the most critical, and it is impossible for them to afford to get a higher-end one.

However, I didn't expect them to get such a large quantity, but I don't know if these cloths are produced enough by the other party, or if they distribute enough.

These thoughts turned in his mind, and the boss of the Dali Comptoir soon stopped thinking about them, paid the fees in order, and then picked up the goods, and when he got the goods, he still checked all the fabrics.

The third-class wool cloth is the worst, but although it is the worst, its quality is actually not bad.
