Li Yuanqing asked with a smile: "My chili pepper tastes very good, and it can be called the best chili pepper." The second year of planting is still rare for the whole Great Zhou. This year, you can still sell at a high price, but next year, when everyone has seeds, you may not be able to sell them at a high price. Luo Dongjia, if you miss this opportunity, even if you grow tens of thousands of acres of chili peppers at home next year, you may not be able to make money with my hundreds of acres of chili peppers this year. ”

Luo Dong's family was satisfied, but his heart was still dripping blood, "It's just that the price is too expensive." ”

Li Yuanqing thought that the price was still too expensive for Luo Dongjia, so he took a sip of tea and stood up, "Li came to talk about business sincerely, since Luo Dongjia feels that the price is expensive, Li can only seek cooperation with other caravans." ”

Seeing that Li Yuanqing was leaving, Luo Dongjia hurriedly shouted: "Li Gongzi stay here, doing business is to negotiate the price." This price doesn't work, so we'll talk about another price. I just added eighty percent, how about that? ”

Li Yuanqing was resolute, "Doubling is not enough, and it is not good to be less than one percent." Li is not greedy, and he asks Luo Dongjia not to be greedy. ”

Luo Dongjia complained in his heart, if he was not greedy, he doubled the price. If you are greedy, you must not triple it.

Luo Dongjia is in business, and he ships these peppers out to sell, and in addition to various expenses, the price can be doubled.

The bargaining just now was just an illusion, and Luo Dongjia had an account in his heart, and he was shrewd.

After some bargaining, Luo Dongjia finally settled on two hundred yuan a pound of fresh chili peppers and one or two taels of silver for dried chili peppers.

Luo Dongjia has a request, all the chili peppers of Li Yunqing's family are sold to him, and Li Yuanqing cannot sell them to others if the money rises in the future, and similarly, if the price drops, Luo Dongjia must also buy it.

The note was written, and Liu Kui's name was written.

Li Yuanqing is now a Sipin general, an official of the imperial court, and cannot do business.

If he signs a contract to do business with others and sues the court, Li Yuanqing will also be punished.

After paying a deposit of 30%, the two parties trusted each other.

Now that the contract has been signed, Luo Dongjia asked, "How many green peppers can I pick every day now?" ”

Li Yuanqing thought for a while, "Pick the grown ones first, and the small ones will continue to grow, so you can pick them every two days." You can have thousands of pounds at a time. Even green chili peppers, when properly packed, can last for five to seven days. Even if you can't sell it, as long as you don't cover it, the green peppers can be dried in the sun. ”

When Luo Dongjia heard this, his eyes lit up, "That's okay, every two days, Luo sends someone to transport chili peppers." Pay with one hand, deliver with the other. Thirty percent of the deposit, and finally when you buy dried red peppers, you will calculate the general account. ”

After hearing this, Li Yuanqing felt that it was a good deal, "Luo Dongjia is magnificent, and it is very pleasant to do business with you." ”

Coming out of Juhua Building, Liu Kui still couldn't believe it, "Oh my God, general, we just made tens of thousands of taels of silver?" In our hometown, we can collect one or two taels of silver per acre of land, which is already quite good! Now you are planting chili peppers for hundreds of taels of silver per acre of land, which I really can't think of before. ”

Li Yuanqing also smiled, "Usually I'm very busy, and you are busy with a lot of chores in the field." I will not do you any wrong, and I will reward you with two hundred taels of silver when I return. Coupled with your usual military exploits, there are also hundreds of taels of silver. When you take a break this time, you should also go back to your hometown. Those who should honor their mothers should hurry up and be filial, and those who should marry daughters-in-law should hurry up to marry daughters-in-law. ”

As soon as Liu Kui heard that Li Yuanqing rewarded him with two hundred taels of silver, he hurriedly bowed down and thanked him.

"Thank you, General! Last time, Dayong came to deliver a letter and told me about the situation in Jixiang Town. Many brothers who defected to the past, those who had money in their hands, had already started to buy yards in Jixiang Town. My old mother is the only one in my hometown, and my father, who has no conscience, started to dislike my mother after making a lot of money in business. ”

"In addition, my grandfather also passed away, and I don't have any relatives in the local area. I want to take my mother over and make a home in Jixiang Town. The two hundred taels of silver will be placed on your side, and when we can rest and go home, you can help me buy a yard in Jixiang Town." Buy a bigger one, I also marry a local daughter-in-law and have a few more children. ”

Li Yuanqing smiled, "Okay! Now that the negotiations have ended, so has the exchange of prisoners of war. Then it will be winter, and when there is free time, General Zhao will also arrange a rotation to go home. It doesn't matter if you come to Jixiang Town, brothers get together, and if there is a matter, they can also take care of each other. ”

Li Yuanqing's family moved to Jixiang Town, although Liu Paner worked hard for so long, he was also rewarded handsomely and gained a firm foothold in the local area.

However, the background is not deep, not enough to compare with the local wealthy families.

In the eyes of those people, Liu Paner and Li Yuanqing are just big families.

Now there are more and more people gathered in Jixiang Town, and they are all Li Yuanqing can trust, the greater the power. When something happens, everyone can work together to solve it together.

No one, not at all.

Seeing that Li Yuanqing agreed, Liu Kui smiled, "Thank you, General." ”

Li Yuanqing was a few years older than him, and after coming to the barracks, Li Yuanqing taught him a lot. In Liu Kui's heart, Li Yuanqing is not only a general, but also his brother and friend.

If you can live with General Li, you can rely on it in the future, and your children can have a good future.

Instead of rushing home, they came to the fields.

Liu Kui asked: "General, corn and sweet potatoes, as well as potatoes, are also rare things, why don't you sell them to Shopkeeper Luo?" ”

Li Yuanqing smiled, "The chili peppers have been sold for a lot of money, and I am already satisfied." As for corn and sweet potatoes, potatoes can be used as grain seeds. His Majesty asked the ministers to promote it in the court, and we also got some in the northwest, but it was a drop in the bucket. ”

"Since I have it here, I don't want to sell it. In the future, whoever wants to stay in the northwest and settle down, I can give each of them some seeds for planting next year. After all, the production of these things is high, and the family can eat enough. You can also use these things to sell some money and use it to build a house. ”

Li Yuanqing is not a businessman after all, he still has feelings of righteousness.

It's hard to have a hard time without money, but it's not a good thing to have too much money.

He sold these chili peppers, and he could earn tens of thousands of taels of silver.

Although this is the pepper grown on the land he bought, all belong to him, and the money he earns is also deserved.

But there will definitely be people who are jealous of him, and will even publicize these things, even if he is justified, he will be talked about behind his back as rich and unkind.

In this case, Li Yuanqing thought very thoroughly, not only to distribute corn and potatoes and sweet potatoes to everyone as seeds, but also to share pepper seeds and pepper planting methods with everyone in the future.

When Liu Kui heard this, his eyes reddened slightly, "General, you are too kind-hearted!" ”
