Chapter 107: Is There Such a Trick as Him?

A batch of grain was brought from the county town, and the price was also the usual price, although compared with more than 30,000 people in the city, these two thousand stone grains were not much, but it also reduced the anxiety caused by the lack of food in the hearts of the people.

But Xu Yuanru, who was holding 2,000 stone of grain, couldn't be happy, she wanted to donate grain to the people of Qingping County, so that Lu Jin was impressed by her, but why did Lu Jin's few words become selling grain?

She doesn't lack more than a thousand taels of silver, what she wants is to improve her position in Lu Jin's heart, and she has a good reputation for being beautiful and kind.

But Lu Jin not only confiscated her food, but also gave her the money for these grains coldly and arrogantly, as if he was showing off to her that he was not short of money, and asked her not to use these little tricks to covet him, which made her very heartbroken.

With this batch of grain can alleviate the pressure of the food shortage in the city, the pressure on Lu Jin's shoulders is also much less, those grain merchants who still want to hoard grain and sell it at a high price are not calm, no one knows how much grain Lu Jin still has in his hands, in case there is enough grain to survive the autumn harvest, they have to pay for these grains in their hands.

After discussing the discussions, several grain merchants led by the Fang family could only open their doors to do business, and the price of grain could not be sold higher than that of the county magistrate.

Lu Jin was very satisfied with this result, and also made a rich grain list for these grain merchants who took the initiative to sell their grain.

The grain sold by Xu Yuanru was counted by Lu Jin on the head of the Xu clan, and the name was written as the Xu family of Hedong Village, although it was not ranked among the top few on the list of rich grains, it was also on the list.

Some people from the Xu clan went into the city to buy grain and saw it, and they went to the yamen to inquire curiously, and learned that the grain was sold by Xu Yuanru.

And most importantly, didn't you say before that there was no money and no food?

During the snow disaster, where did she come from, and the grain that the county order borrowed from those people in the east of the village to eat with the Xu clan.

This girl really has no conscience!

So, I thought that she had sold so much grain, and she must have a lot of silver on hand, and now that the Xu family was exiled here, during the exile together, the people in the clan also took care of Xu Yuanru a lot, and they should help each other when they settle down.

She holds so much silver alone, but she sees her people hungry? The conscience is broken!

After the news spread in the west of the village, everyone in the Xu clan who saw her looked at her angrily, and some of them were short-tempered and scolded when they saw her: "There is so much food that is not kept for their own food, the Xu family is like this, use you to go out to show off?" ”

Xu Yuanru didn't know what happened at first, but when she learned that the county order had made a rich list, she originally wanted to marry Lu Jin, but now she is angry with Lu Jin.

Xu Yuanru held her breath in her heart, she didn't seek fame or profit, she just wanted the little county magistrate to be impressed by her, why did she get such a list that didn't even have her name? Is there such a trick as him?

At this time, Lu Jin was no longer worried about the food in the city, and after eating the last banana muffins and pig's head meat, he always felt light and tasteless in his mouth, so he took Qingshu to Hedong Village again, and said in a beautiful name, inspection!

Lin Xiaoman's seedlings have grown an inch high, she applied some organic fertilizer, one by one the seedlings grew very strong, she will also open the doors and windows to breathe, as long as more than half a month, the weather is warmer, these seedlings can be planted in the ground.

Lin Daqiang publicized the news in the village that Lin Xiaoman's family was going to plant peppers and several kinds of high-yield grains that no one had ever seen.

Some people who wanted to plant peppers last year came to Lin Xiaoman early, for fear that they would be gone if it was too late. After asking about high-yield grain varieties, I also made some agreements with Lin Xiaoman, but the quantity is not very much, after all, no one has ever seen how high-yield grain varieties are, and they have not even seen the kind of grain that Lin Xiaoman said, what if they can't eat it or the yield is not so high?

However, Lin Dajiao has decided that the wasteland opened this year will be planted with Lin Xiaoman's grain, vegetable seeds and seedlings, anyway, there will be no grain tax for three years before the wasteland, and if the harvest is not good, it will be too late to change it next year.

Even Lin Daqiang's family, under her mobilization, decided to plant with Lin Xiaoman.

When Lu Jin came to the door of Lin Xiaoman's house, what he saw was that it was full of people, Lin Xiaoman and Lin Erhu set up a table in front of the door, holding a pen and paper to record the number of seedlings and seeds that these people wanted.

Someone saw Lu Jin coming with Qingshu and shouted: "The county magistrate is here." ”

Only then did everyone see the two masters and servants who were dressed in civilian clothes outside the crowd and stood for an unknown amount of time.

Lin Daqiang was also in the crowd to help Zhang Luo maintain order, and when he heard that the county magistrate was coming, he immediately asked the crowd to let him go, and invited the county magistrate inside, "My lord, our village is registering the crops to be planted this year, and the adult and the little brother Qingshu will sit and wait for a while, okay?" ”

Can Lu Jin say that he can't do it? He came in civilian clothes today, just because he didn't want to attract the attention of the villagers, who knew that almost the whole village had gathered here, which was really surprising.

Lu Jin was also curious about what Lin Xiaoman wanted the people in the village to plant, but he knew that Lin Xiaoman had made some good things that he had never seen before, but he didn't expect that there could be so many, which was something that the entire Hedong Village wanted to plant? Will her seeds work?

Seeing Lu Jin nodding, Lin Daqiang trotted into the courtyard and moved two small benches, letting them sit and wait.

Xu is ripe, he doesn't even think there is anything wrong with this arrangement, and even the county magistrate is here, in his opinion, it is not as important as recording the grain that the villagers want to plant.

Lu Jin saw a few bowls on the table in front of Lin Xiaoman and Lin Erhu, and the bowls were cooked food, and after he asked them one by one, he knew that these were called ballast porridge, boiled sweet potatoes and boiled potatoes.

After tasting it, although it is very different from white rice, there is no doubt that it is a good thing that can fill the stomach, especially these kinds can not only fill the stomach, but also have high yields, and the yield is several times higher than that of rice.

At the same time, Lin Xiaoman can also order a high-yield rice seedling here, and the yield is at least double that of the current rice.

This time, Lu Jin was shocked, what does doubling mean? If the whole country is planted with rice seedlings with double the yield, the country's autumn harvest grain will be at least doubled, won't it mean that the people will no longer have to worry about starvation?

But obviously, many villagers don't believe in the big cakes drawn by Lin Xiaoman, in addition to Lin Daqiang and a few families who have a good relationship with Lin Xiaoman's family, more people are only willing to plant peppers, and then take out a little bit of land to try to plant sweet potatoes and potatoes, and almost no one wants to plant high-yield rice seedlings.

There is also a white fluffy one in a bowl, which is said to be cotton, which can be used to make winter clothes in winter, and can also be spun and weave, but no one wants to plant it except Lin Dajiao.

Lu Jin looked at it for a while, and also understood what these people were worried about, it was nothing more than that they planted those grains, would the imperial court be willing to collect the field tax during the autumn harvest? The cotton is grown, can it really be as good as Lin Xiaoman said?

Lin Xiaoman said that rice seedlings can be high-yielding, but what if they are not successful?
