Chapter 174: Buying and Selling
Dugu Huanxu nodded solemnly, "Yes, this sweet potato yields 10,000 catties per mu, if every family can plant it, plus a thousand catties of rice per mu, it is estimated that there will never be people starving to death again, and there will even be a lot of surplus grain every year." ”
"However, Liwang's fief is the last place of peace, in order to have enough military food, it is estimated that even if I send someone to plant it, it is estimated that it can only be used as military food in the future, and it will take a lot of time to promote it in the fiefdom."
"But don't worry, I'll give you enough money to make sure you don't suffer."
Nangong Anshan said: "Yes, I can give you seeds now, you can also plant them now, you can plant them in the greenhouse, so that you don't have to waste months in winter." If you want to use sweet potatoes as military rations, you can do it, and leave the matter of promotion among the people to me, and as long as the people are willing to plant them in the future, they can buy seeds from me. ”
King Li was immediately overjoyed, this girl is really a good girl who understands righteousness.
Dugu Huanxu Zhengse said: "Okay, then thank you, I'll still buy seeds with you, after all, your seeds are also bought with your money." ”
Nangong Anshan said with a smile: "Okay, then I'm welcome, this seed is not very expensive, even if I pay a hundred yuan for an acre of land, I can give you a hundred acres of seeds, but it is very likely that ordinary people will not be able to plant seeds with seeds, so I will wait for the seeds to be planted into vines, and then transfer them to you." ”
A hundred acres of land can be planted to have a million catties of sweet potatoes.
Now they start planting in greenhouses, and they can be harvested in a few months, plus the military rations they have saved for the war over the years, it should be enough for the first half of the war for the time being.
In the second half of the year, the first round of high-yield grain will also be harvested on a large scale, so the military rations in the second half of the year will also be lost, and sweet potatoes can also be harvested in the second half of the year.
When King Li thought of this, the anxiety in his heart suddenly decreased, and if there was a war next year, their side would have a better chance of winning.
Dugu Huanxu smiled and said, "Then thank you." ”
After speaking, he handed a silver ticket to Nangong Anshan, "This time there is not much money, I will give it to you first." ”
Nangong Anshan was not polite and took it happily.
Dugu Huanxu thought about it and took another silver ticket to her.
Nangong Anshan didn't answer for the time being, and asked, "...... are you?"
Dugu Huanxu said: "I want to ask you to buy some sweet potatoes, your family probably can't eat all these sweet potatoes, so they should also be sold, right?" ”
"It's true that you can't finish eating, and it takes up space in the cellar." Nangong Anshan said: "If you want to buy it, you can buy it, how many catties do you want?" ”
"It's 30,000 catties, I'll take it to the soldiers in the army to eat, it's a fresh food for them."
Nangong Anshan said: "Okay, this also frees up a lot of space for me, I'm worried that the cellar can't hold so many sweet potatoes." ”
Dugu Huanxu said: "What is the price?" ”
Nangong Anshan pondered for a moment and said, "Just two pennies and a catty." ”
If the price was set too high at the beginning, the people would think that it was more profitable to grow sweet potatoes, and they would probably be reluctant to plant rice, and then they would have to intervene in the state.
Now that there are few sweet potatoes, two pennies should be about the same, and if they are promoted in the future, it is estimated that it will be a penny and a catty, and some people will be too expensive.
Although sweet potatoes are good, they are not as easy to preserve as rice.
Dugu Huanxu said: "Will you lose a lot like this, don't worry about me, I have money." ”
Nangong Anshan said: "No, you know, I earn a lot every day." ”
"Okay." After Dugu Huanxu finished speaking, he handed her the silver ticket just now, "You don't have to give me the extra money, just take it as my gratitude to you, thank you for letting me know that there is still a good thing like sweet potatoes in this world." ”
Nangong Anshan raised her eyebrows and said, "Isn't that a little little?" ”
Sweet potatoes can be a good way to increase the population of Liwang's fiefdom in the future, as long as the people can't go hungry in the future, they will definitely desperately have children, after all, the ancient people believed in having more children and more blessings.
From ancient times to the present, many people want to have more children, but they are afraid that they will not be able to support them.
Dugu Huanxu Zhengse said: "Don't worry, I will ask His Royal Highness King Li for you, and he will definitely reward you when the time comes." ”
Nangong Anshan pointed to finger and said, "But last time I planted high-yield rice, His Royal Highness King Liwang didn't reward me." I also grew cotton and oil, which changed the way Liwang fiefdom cooked. ”
Liwang choked suddenly, he seemed to have treated her badly last time.
He just felt that he had given her shelter even if it was the best reward, forgetting that this person was still a little girl and needed a reward to encourage her.
Dugu Huanxu saw his father nodding to himself, and said helplessly: "Okay, last time, His Royal Highness King Liwang should indeed reward you, and I forgot to tell His Royal Highness King Liwang, don't worry, I will tell His Royal Highness King Liwang when I go back this time, he will definitely reward you heavily." ”
Nangong Anshan suddenly smiled, "Then I'll wait." ”
"Well, I'll do what I say."
The three of them talked for a while, and Nangong Anshan praised all the sweet potatoes that were going to be sold to Dugu Huanxu, and by the way, told them how to store sweet potatoes for a longer time.
Dugu Huanxu sent someone to prepare the carriage just now, he wanted to stay and wait for the carriage to arrive, but King Li suddenly received a secret letter, so he had to go back with him, leaving only Feng Yun and others to stay and deal with it.
Nangong Anshan saw that it was not early, and the remaining 10,000 catties of sweet potatoes were too much, so she transported them back and put them in the cellar, and then took them out every time, which was really inconvenient, so she told Zhou Lizheng what she thought.
Zhou Li said: "Ah Shan, you mean, you want to sell some sweet potatoes to the people in the village?" ”
Nangong Anshan nodded: "That's right, you all ate sweet potatoes just now, and you also know the taste of sweet potatoes, I believe that other people in the village will probably like it too." It's the same price as the price sold to Ah Xu, two pennies per catty, and you can buy as much as you want, and I don't force it. ”
She also thought about giving it to the villagers for free, but she was worried that the white-eyed wolf would eat her food, and finally dislike her food as unpalatable, so she dismissed the idea.
Zhou Li said: "This price is appropriate, but I don't know if anyone buys it." ”
"It's fine." Nangong Anshan said: "I just want everyone to taste the taste of sweet potatoes, so that they can all plant them in the future." ”
"Okay." Zhou Lizheng went back to his home, took out the gong, and began to strike it.
All the people who were nearby heard the gong and gathered around.
The people who participated in digging sweet potatoes knew that it must be related to sweet potatoes, and the rest of the people who had not participated came over with puzzled expressions.
