Wei Ruo took Xiumei out first and went to the nurse, who had already helped Wei Ruo purchase a batch of wheat seeds, which were now stored in the warehouse where sweet potatoes were stored before.

In the past few days, due to the large number of sweet potatoes being shipped away, a lot of space has been vacated in the warehouse.

Wei Ruo asked Xiumei to guard the door, and he came out after a long time in the warehouse.

"Meimei, you take Agui and Xiaoba to take these bags of rice seeds to the south of the city, give a little to each family, and specially tell you that these rice seeds are good varieties, and this amount may not be enough to plant all the rice fields, and the remaining part of the insufficient will be supplemented with ordinary grain over there." Wei Ruo commanded.

In a short period of time, there were only so many space rice seeds that Wei Ruo could get, and she was afraid that if she waited any longer, the patience of the people in the south of the city would run out.

Wei Ruo also understood their anxious mood very well, if they missed this year's planting time, it would mean that they would have no food supplies for the next year.

"Okay." After Xiumei got Wei Ruo's instructions, she instructed Ah Gui and Xiao Ba to help transport all the grain onto the car.

Ah Gui and Xiao Ba both showed some reluctance, especially the slightly older Ah Gui, who moved for a while and stopped doing it, and said indignantly: "Miss Xiumei, our young lady is so dedicated to the affairs of the south of the city, but it turns out that the reward for meritorious deeds is not the share of the young lady, which is too annoying." ”

It turned out that Ah Gui and Xiao Ba already knew about the court's reward for the merit and deeds of the southern part of the city, and they followed Wei Ruo these days, and they got wages and appreciation, and there were many benefits.

Wei Ruo was wronged, and they naturally couldn't be happy.

Xiumei sighed: "One yard to one yard, Miss started to open up the wasteland not to invite merit, but to let more suffering people have enough to eat." Someone is unfair to Miss, and they can't implicate innocent people in the south of the city, right? ”

Ah Gui and Xiao Hachi glanced at each other, and they were both convinced.

Xiumei continued: "Don't worry too much, you think so much about Miss, Miss will be very happy to know, others can't understand Miss, and laugh at Miss The bamboo basket is empty, we, as Miss, should understand Miss and support Miss." ”

Agui said: "I understand, Xiaoba and I will help Miss do a good job." ”

The two no longer had any opinions, and neatly loaded all the rice seeds in the warehouse into the truck.

The ox cart pulling the rice seeds followed Wei Ruo's carriage out of the South City Gate.

Outside the city gate, Qian Zhixian was also there, and seeing Wei Ruo appear, Qian Zhixian was surprised and embarrassed.

After hesitating for a moment, Qian Zhixian still led people to Wei Ruo's carriage, and through the curtain of the carriage, Qian Zhixian said to Wei Ruo: "Miss Wei, are you here to send rice seeds to the people in the south of the city?" ”

Wei Ruodao: "It's not a gift, it's a sale." ”

It was originally a gift, but when I saw Qian Zhixian asking, it became a sale.

"This ......," Qian Zhixian's smile was a little stiff.

"I heard that Lord Qian has been rewarded this time, and I heard that he is expected to be promoted when he has a bumper harvest next year." Wei Ruoduan sat in the carriage and said unhurriedly through the curtain.

"Miss Towe's blessing." Qian Zhixian also knew in his heart that if it hadn't been for the eldest lady of the Wei family to find out about this incident, his promotion would not have come so quickly.

"That being the case, Lord Qian might as well do another good deed for the people of Xingshan County, these grains will be bought by Lord Qian and given to the people in the south of the city, what does Lord Qian think?"

After Qian Zhixian hesitated for a while, he stubbornly said, "It should be, it should be." Miss Wei wants to sell me as much money as she wants, and I will accept all the orders. ”

Qian Zhixian was sorry for Wei Ruo, he had gained the benefits of the other party, and now he really shouldn't let the other party contribute money and efforts to contribute to his political achievements.

Wei Ruo didn't talk nonsense to Qian Zhixian, and directly offered the price: "Two hundred taels of silver." ”

"Two hundred taels?" Qian Zhixian was obviously frightened by this price.

A few truckloads of wheat seeds cost 200 taels, which is a bit too expensive!

"If Qian Zhixian thinks it's expensive, you can not buy it, but I remind Mr. Qian that this time has missed the time for general wheat planting, and the weather is cold early, so it is not very easy to plant this batch ......of wheat."

Wei Ruo said half of the words, and the rest was left to Qian Zhixian to make up for himself.

Hearing this, Qian Zhixian's heart chuckled.

If the wheat can be planted, he will be able to report to the head in the middle of next year, on the contrary, if the wheat is not successful, the rice will be affected later, and finally he will not be able to complete a large-scale harvest, then he may have no hope of promotion!

Qian Zhixian hurriedly changed his words: "Two hundred taels is not expensive, I will let people go back to the house to get the silver!" ”

"I believe that Lord Qian is a person who believes in his word, then I will thank Lord Qian on behalf of the people in the south of the city, and I will let people distribute these wheat seeds first." Wei Ruodao.

"Okay, Miss Wei has worked hard." Qian Zhixian smiled gratefully.

Of course, the eldest lady of the Wei family does not have to worry about him regretting it, because he bought not only the grain seeds for the two hundred taels, but also the ability of the eldest lady of the Wei family.

After Wei Ruo took people away, the county magistrate Qian Zhi sighed: Hey, I really can't blame Miss Wei for this, and he is not happy to change him.

But he was also confused about this matter, and he didn't know what was going on.

Wei Ruo took Xiumei, Agui, Xiaoba and others to distribute the wheat seeds to the people in the south of the city, and explained their planting-related matters, and asked them to use the method of hole sowing, concentrate on fertilizer, and keep the depth of sowing consistent.

This method of sowing requires a lot of labor, but it is conducive to increasing yields.

For Wei Ruo's advice, the people in the south of the city remember it firmly, and no one dares to be careless.

Whether they can have a bumper harvest next year depends on the eldest lady of the Wei family! The eldest lady of the Wei family asked them to do it, and it must not be wrong!

Wei Ruo also got the two hundred taels of silver sent by Qian Zhixian after he was busy.

After finishing the affairs in the south of the city, Wei Ruo returned to the city, and saw that it was still early, so he went to Sibaozhai first.

The nurse presented a new account book and told Wei Ruo the good news.

Although during this time, Wei Ruo took out a lot of materials to relieve the affected people, but on the whole, it was still profitable.

Those things that were purchased in advance to be sold exclusively to the powerful still sold at a good price, allowing Wei Ruo to make a lot of money.

"Miss, this is the account book of Xu Ji Grain Shop, these days, the business of the grain shop is much better than that of Sibao Zhai, and the sales of rice and charcoal are especially good. Except for the sweet potatoes that you took to help the people affected by the disaster, and the part you asked to stay as reserve food, the rest were sold short. ”

Recently, even the originally wealthy families have begun to cut back on food and clothing, and the things sold in Sibao Zhai are not as real as those sold in the Xu Ji Grain Shop, and it is very reasonable that the business is not as good as the Xu Ji Grain Shop.
