Chapter 118: Backer

The people of the He family, who were chatting in the courtyard, suddenly saw Chu Xiaohe with a faint excitement and joy on his face.

When everyone was a little inexplicable, Su Qinyan with an indifferent face walked out behind Chu Xiaohe, and Wen Chongming, who came over to join in the fun.

Helan Yue stood up in shock, she thought that her uncle had some news, but she couldn't let them say it in front of her aunt.

"I just have something to talk to you about, let's go to Brother Luo's house to talk about it."

Chu Xiaohe saw that He Lanyue had concerns, and it didn't matter to him to talk about it in another place, so he nodded and agreed.

Several people soon came to Luo Li's house, Changfeng set up a table and chair in the alley, and they sat down in the alley.

He Lanyue was very worried about her uncle's safety, so she asked first, "Is there any news of my uncle?" ”

Chu Xiaohe shook his head, "No, but don't worry, your uncle's safety will definitely not be a problem, I can guarantee it." ”

"I have received Chu Gongzi's wishes, but things outside are changing rapidly, and no one can guarantee anything."

Su Qinyan on the side said with a serious face: "He can do it, Miss He, please rest assured." ”

Helan Yue also realized her gaffe, although she was still very worried about her uncle's safety, she should be grateful to the other party, not questioned.

"I'm sorry, I'm concerned about it, please understand."

Chu Xiaohe waved his hand indifferently, "It's okay, we came to you to say another thing, maybe you have already guessed it." ”

Helan Yue looked at Chu Xiaohe vigilantly, "Do you want corn seeds, or do you want to monopolize the cultivation of corn." ”

"You're half right, I want corn seeds, but I don't want to monopolize them, but I want more farmers to be able to grow corn and eat their stomachs."

"But as you can see, the seeds of this corn are also limited, and there is no guarantee that all farmers can plant them, and there will definitely be a lot of problems at that time."

"I know what you're worried about, the robbery of the family, the suppression of the farmers by the powerful, right?"

Helan Yue nodded without hesitation, "I want to find a backer who can suppress these bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods." ”

Chu Xiaohe raised his chin to Su Qinyan, "His father can be your backer, if Miss Ruohe gives us corn seeds, you can definitely rest assured, and at the same time, we can also ensure the safety of your village, and you can still live in peace and tranquility in the future, without being disturbed by outsiders." ”

"Oh, so can I know how big my backer really is?"

Su Qinyan was elegant, looked at He Lanyue politely, and said lightly: "My father is still the head of the household department of the dynasty, and he is worthy of Miss He's backer." ”

Hearing this, Helan Yue was overjoyed, this is really sleepy, someone sent a pillow, with this household book as a backer, see who dares to move their crooked brains here.

The corn is now grown by the villagers, and she can't make decisions for them alone.

But what should be discussed should also be made clear in advance.

"Not all corn can be harvested to make seeds, it takes a lot of manpower to screen out the full grains, and the price of this kind of seed is not cheap, I have to ask Li Zheng about these things, and then give you an answer."

Su Qinyan lowered his eyes and thought for a while and asked: "Then please ask Miss He to tell us how many catties of corn seeds are needed for an acre of land and how many catties of grain can be produced, so that I can have a bottom in my heart, and then I will evaluate the price of this kind of seed." ”

"Five catties of corn seeds per mu of land, and the price of one catty of corn seeds is eighty wen, as for how much yield, when the corn in the village is harvested, you can see it with your own eyes."

"This kind of seed is so expensive, then what price will be set for the corn you grow that cannot be used as seeds, but can only be used as grain?"

"Three cents a pound, about the same price as wheat."

"If the price is reasonable, according to the girl, I am now looking forward to how much corn will be produced."

Helan Yue smiled meaningfully, "Then wait and see." ”

"Then we will also wait for the good news from Miss He."

"Okay, I'll go ask Lizheng and I'll give you an answer later."

"Well, we're waiting at home for the girl's good news."

Helan Yue looked at the sun in the sky and suddenly asked, "Shouldn't you be teaching the children at this time, why did you suddenly run back." ”

Su Qinyan took a fan and tapped Chu Xiaohe, who was sitting there like nothing, "Then you have to ask him." ”

Chu Xiaohe glanced at him with a resentful expression, "It's not for your sake to be a brother, if this matter is done, it will be beneficial for both of you, and I won't catch anything." ”

Helan Yue said goodbye to several people and came to the ground.

I asked a few patrolling villagers where Li was and looked for it.

Li was standing at the head of his own field, looking at the corn in the field, and fighting fiercely in his heart, thinking about whether to pick a few corn and go back to cook and eat it, and taste it.

But he also thought that if this corn was ground into flour, it would be made into cakes, which would be both hungry and sweet.

If it is boiled and eaten like this, is it a little too wasteful?

When Helan Yue came over, she saw Li Zheng looking at the corn all over the ground with a tangled face, and she didn't even notice it when she walked over.

When she got closer, she asked softly, "Uncle Lizheng, what are you struggling with!" ”

"You said I should break a few corns and go back to taste it, I heard that Yue'er girl said that it was delicious to cook and eat, but I thought about it again! Isn't it a bit too wasteful to cook and eat? ”

Helan Yue immediately laughed when she heard this, Uncle Lizheng is too cute!

"This corn can fill your stomach when it is cooked and eaten, you don't have to worry about it, you are reluctant, I will break it for you."

Li Zheng came back to his senses at this time, and looked at the old Helan Yue beside him with a red face.

"Moon girl, did you come here to make fun of your uncle?"

Helan Yue opened her mouth with a smile, revealing two small tiger teeth.

Said sweetly. "Of course not, I came over to discuss with Uncle Lizheng about something."

"What's the matter, on this hot day, you deliberately went to the ground to find me, and let the mountain or the hill pass a word at noon."

"A matter of concern for the safety of our village."

"Oh, then tell me about it."

Helan Yue told Li Zheng the content of her conversation with Su Qinyan as it was, and asked at the end:

"Uncle Lizheng thinks this backer is okay?"

Li Zheng clasped his hands, but he couldn't help but tremble slightly, the biggest official he had ever seen, that is, the pavilion chief, although he didn't know how many officials this household department was up, but no matter how he said it, it was a Beijing official.

If there are really people from Kyoto to support them, then they will have to endure this hard life.
