Chapter 171: Free Seeds
Lin Bin understood that he hurriedly returned to Zhenbei Pass, even if he was treated warmly by the king of Zhenbei, he would just become a chess piece in the hands of the other party, giving him an extremely sufficient reason to rebel.
Marching and fighting, you don't have to worry about yourself. can play with intrigue and trickery, he is far inferior to Xie Yunshu.
Rather than becoming someone else's pawn and not even getting revenge, it is better to follow Ye Hao and Xie Yunshu's side.
Not only can you have a chance to kill the enemy, but you can also protect the person you can't forget.
"That's fine, I'm not involved in this, I'm only responsible for making as much money as possible, and I won't drag you back behind."
After listening to Lin Bin's words, Ye Hao, who didn't know the complicated relationship, just nodded and gave her decision after careful consideration.
The two men in front of her are burdened with a sea of blood and hatred, she doesn't feel the need to let go, only revenge with her own hands can eliminate the hatred in their hearts.
For those innocent people, Ye Hao can have good intentions and make a living for them. But she will not give the slightest sympathy to those who do evil.
What I got was not the script of the Virgin White Lotus!
"You don't object to us going to King Cheng'an?"
This time, Xie Yunshu was a little surprised.
He didn't forget the resistance in the other party's eyes when he talked to Fu Ru'an about the situation and direction, which was also one of the reasons why he hesitated the most.
"Why should I object?"
Ye Hao pursed her lips and smiled, such a bright smile shook the hearts of the two men.
She blinked her eyes, she had such a violent reaction before, firstly, because she suddenly heard that the world was about to be in chaos and war, and she was a little caught off guard. The second is that he suddenly realized that he was really in an era when life was not worth anything, and he was just flustered.
But after thinking about everything, she didn't think Xie Yunshu's idea was wrong.
Since the tyranny is now, let's exchange these bloody sacrifices for a more stable future!
All peace is based on war and sacrifice, and this is a fate that she is powerless to change.
"Your revenge, you should still be avenged! The life of the people under the tyranny is too hard, maybe I can save the people of a village or a county, but in this situation, I can't save the people of the world."
Fu Ru'an's conversation with Xie Yunshu shattered all of Ye Hao's naïve thoughts, and she pulled away from her beautiful ideas and saw the facts clearly.
If she doesn't break it, she can't stand it, and after she sees the situation clearly, she understands that the path Xie Yunshu took is the most correct.
"I believe in your choice, only in an era under the leadership of a Ming monarch can all the people have the possibility of living and working in peace and contentment."
She shook Xie Yunshu's hand, and her eyes were full of trust.
It was a night in which everyone found their own path to the future.
Although the general policy has been finalized, the current situation still has to be taken step by step.
On the second day, the Qingcheng County Commander sent people to follow Ye Hao to the county office, of course, in order to protect her safety, Lin Bin has been by her side.
Qingcheng is worthy of being a richer county than the county seat of the barbarians, and the repair and area of the county government are much more luxurious than the barbarian county yadu, at least there are no tattered corners.
As soon as Ye Hao entered the door, the county magistrate personally came to greet her and led her into the hall in the backyard.
The first time he helped Fu Ru'an, the county order was naturally very important, and after going back yesterday, he immediately pulled a few of his henchmen to discuss.
Didn't Ye Hao want to plant sugarcane in villages that had been plagued by insects and had no land to plant? He asked all the village chiefs and lieutenant chiefs of those villages to be called early in the morning and wait for the county office.
The county order of a county seat is the biggest official in the local area.
The village chiefs of those small villages gathered in the county office, and their expressions were extremely frightened, thinking that they had made something wrong and were waiting to be punished.
Several older ones were even a little short of breath.
When Ye Hao arrived, all she saw was a room full of people trembling and frightened, and a few white-haired old men looked a little there
Signs of illness.
"Why are you standing? Aren't those old people uncomfortable? Hurry up and let him sit down!"
Speechless, Ye Hao hurriedly walked over, poured tea from the table, and let a few obviously pale old people sit down and drink water slowly.
Originally, the old village chiefs didn't dare to move, but when they saw that the official master next to them didn't react, they sat down and breathed a sigh of relief.
After being reprimanded, the county order was stunned for a moment, and quickly arranged it sensibly, giving the master next to him a look.
"Hurry up and arrange for the old people to sit down!"
Immediately, officers and soldiers brought many stools for these village chiefs to sit down, filling the entire hall.
Although the officers and soldiers did not understand why they were so polite to these mud legs, the county orders were all ordered, and they did not dare to disobey the orders.
Qingcheng County Ling did meet Ye Hao a few times, but he didn't know much about this person's temperament, so he could only touch it cautiously and asked:
"Mrs. Xie, all the village chiefs and lieutenant chiefs in this county are here, you see?"
The relationship between Ye Hao and Fu Ru'an, he had seen it yesterday, and he understood that to please this person was to please his top boss.
Hearing the words of the county order, Ye Hao raised her head and looked around, and found that there were several familiar people in the field, who seemed to have visited them yesterday.
She didn't pay attention to the matter of eating the closed door, but she was just a little frustrated.
But when the village chiefs saw her, their faces immediately changed and they secretly complained.
When they came, those officials said that it was the county magistrate who had something to summon them, and these village chiefs who were born in the countryside thought that they were talking about the taxes in the village, and they were extremely panicked.
After all, this year, the fields have been plagued by insects, and there is really no food to deliver.
But as soon as they saw the woman who was extremely respected by the county magistrate, the village chiefs who were impressed by Ye Hao mistakenly thought that they had driven people out yesterday, causing the other party's anger, and they came to punish them today.
Just as they were thinking about whether to kneel down first and admit their mistakes, Ye Hao spoke.
"Ladies and gentlemen, hello, my name is Ye Hao, and my husband's surname is Xie. I have gathered you here today to discuss something with you."
As she spoke, she asked the county magistrate to bring the sugar cane and sugar cane seeds she had brought.
An officer and soldier hurriedly sent two items over, and Ye Hao picked up a piece of sugarcane and placed it in front of the village chiefs.
"I believe everyone knows this crop, which is the most abundant sugarcane in our Lingnan region. The fields in my village have been destroyed by the insect plague, and I am very sad for this, but people have to eat, don't they? This sugarcane can grow in some wild and wasteland in normal times, so why don't you first reclaim a wasteland and grow sugarcane to earn some money?"
This time, she learned wisely, and instead of saying how good and outstanding her good seed was, she persuaded everyone to start planting sugarcane with emotion and reason.
Seeing the hesitant looks on the faces of many people, Ye Hao hurriedly said:
"To tell you the truth, I am a sugar factory, and it is because I see that there are few sugarcane growers in our county, and it takes time and effort to buy sugarcane from other counties, so I specially asked the county magistrate to gather you over to discuss the planting of sugarcane. As long as everyone grows sugarcane, I will buy it at a price of seven cents per catty!"
"Qiwen?!"
As soon as this price came out, the village chiefs below couldn't help but exclaim, but subconsciously, they looked at the county magistrate standing behind Ye Hao.
After seeing that the other party did not show displeasure because of their outrageous behavior, these people began to whisper.
"My cousin's family also planted sugarcane, isn't it usually three or five cents a catty?"
"yes, yes! If sugarcane is really seven pennies a pound, it is much more cost-effective than growing grain!"
"Harm! It is estimated that in our fields, it will not be possible to grow food in two or three years!"
As soon as the village chiefs mentioned this, the expressions on their faces darkened a little.
Burning crops with fire to eliminate insect plagues is the method left by our ancestors
They couldn't find a better way.
But the land that has been burned by fire, let alone growing food, even weeds can't grow.
So when Ye Hao talked about reclaiming wasteland to grow sugarcane, some people were inevitably moved.
However, the village chiefs who had heard Ye Hao introduce their good seeds had been silent and did not speak, and they did not dare to say what had happened before.
After all, it seems that this Mrs. Xie has a very high status right now, and even the county magistrate has to listen to her.
Seeing the tempting looks of some village chiefs in the field, Ye Hao secretly thought that it was time to take the next step again.
She cleared her throat and took the seeds in the cloth bag from the officers and soldiers next to her.
"If you don't have enough money now, you can also get some sugarcane seeds from me for free and take them back to plant, and then make up the seed money after the harvest."
did not publicize how good these seeds were, as if these seeds were ordinary seeds, Ye Hao made up her mind not to do the previous set this time.
The village chiefs in front of her don't know her, so they can't talk about trust, even if they have the endorsement of the county order, they can only play oppression.
Rather than that, it is better not to say that when the sugar cane grows, everyone will understand how powerful her seed is!
For the act of picking up for free, sure enough, more village chiefs were moved, but there were also some smarter ones, and they quickly seized the loopholes in her words.
"That's... Then can I ask, this Mrs. Xie, the price of seeds?"
As soon as this question came out, many people instantly sobered up and understood the other party's worries.
The other party only said that it was the last seed money, so what if the last seed money was extremely expensive? Won't they have nowhere to reason then?
Ye Hao quickly answered this doubt.
"The price of seeds is 20 yuan a catty, don't worry, this will be written in the contract you made when you decide to plant sugar cane, and it will not lie to you."
Twenty yuan a pound of sugarcane seeds is also an average price in this era, not too high and not too low.
But for Ye Hao, it's basically a free gift.
This catty of sugarcane seeds, she has to spend a hundred merit points to exchange, and if she wants to convert it into silver, she will have to pay at least a few dozen taels of silver.
Only she knows about this matter, and in order to make a reputation for her good seeds, it is necessary to invest in the early stage.
In the future, she also wants to promote her own grain varieties, as long as the reputation of sugarcane varieties is famous, it will be much easier to promote those high-yield grains such as corn and sweet potatoes in the future.
The various conditions she gave were already very much in favor of these village chiefs, whether it was buying sugarcane at the price of seven cents, or providing seeds for free in the early stage, it was extremely attractive to these people who were as anxious as ants on a hot pot at the moment.
Even the county magistrate didn't understand why she did this.
If the sugar workshop is short of sugarcane, and you don't want to bother to escort it from other counties, with Fu Ru'an's financial resources, you can do it yourself
