Chapter 351: High-priced Breeds

Master Li smiled and said, "Yes, it's really an unexpected joy." Brother Zhao, look at how full these wheat grains are. Look at it again, there are so many grains in this one ear of wheat. In my experience, this acre of land has at least 500 catties of output. ”

Zhao Tianyun was stunned for a moment, unable to believe it, "Five hundred catties? At least five hundred pounds? ”

Master Li nodded, "Yes, at least five hundred catties, or even more, let's wait and see how many there are in the end." ”

Zhao Tianyun was even more surprised, he was not good at farming, but he also knew that a wheat yield of 300 catties per mu was considered a high-yield wheat.

They saw an old lady with her grandson, the granddaughter was too busy, and Master Li and Zhao Tianyun also helped with the work.

It's a bit slower, but it's a good thing to buy time.

In three days, five acres of wheat were harvested.

Master Li couldn't wait to weigh it, although it was not dried, but after removing fifty catties of water, there were actually five hundred and twenty catties per acre of land, which exceeded the previous expectations.

Master Li couldn't wait to go to the county seat and asked the county magistrate to come over in person.

The county magistrate, Lord Zhou, was also very excited when he heard Master Li's report.

If you get it right, it's a great achievement!

"Go to Liujia Village now, and the official will watch it in person." Master Zhou was excited, although he knew that Master Li would not lie on these issues, but hearing was false, seeing was believing, and he had to see it for himself.

If this result is reported, the above will definitely attach great importance to it, and someone will inevitably be sent down to investigate at that time.

If it's fake, his career is over.

Therefore, caution and caution.

Lord Zhou came to Liujia Village with the officials.

Now that the threshing floor is dry, every household has begun to transport wheat to the threshing floor in a steady stream.

When Lord Zhou saw these grains of grain, holding these wheat grains in both hands, he was so excited that he almost shed tears.

Leave a few henchmen here to carefully calculate and strive to get the most accurate data.

God opened his eyes, and the weather was sunny for the next half month, and the people completed the harvest.

Old man Liu's 20 acres of land had the highest wheat yield, with an average yield of 520 catties, and 20 acres of land yielded 1,400 catties.

Even if you pay taxes, you can still save 8,400 catties of grain.

The wheat output of other households in Liujia Village is as high as about 470 catties.

Liu Chengpeng, the only household in Liujia Village, planted the best wheat seeds purchased from the seed store in the county seat, with an output of 290 catties, of which the wheat was not in good color, half of the wheat was black, and the skin was moldy.

Liu Chengpeng saw that the other people's wheat grains were full, light brown on the outside, and there was no trace of mold at all, and he regretted it very much, and his intestines were almost green with regret.

The other people in the village snickered, this Liu Chengpeng died to save face and suffer the crime, and now he has tasted the bitter fruit!

Liu Chengpeng's family now hates and angers Liu Chengxiang, there is such a good thing, not to give it to brothers, only to others.

"Cheng Peng, you wait, I just want food, and I also want to get good seeds from the second child's house, I don't believe that he doesn't want his mother." The old lady was so angry that she was about to go to Old Man Liu's house on crutches.

When Liu Chengpeng heard this, he hurriedly got up and stopped, "My mother, don't make trouble, do you still think you are auspicious or before?" People have become shrewd now, and they don't give us a little cheap. In this case, even if you go to make trouble, you can't make any name, and in the end, you let others see the joke. If it annoys Chengxiang, it is estimated that our family will never be able to get wheat and rice seeds anymore. ”

When the old lady heard this, she was angry and angry, "No matter how powerful and capable Liu Chengxiang is, it will crawl out of my stomach." She doesn't care about her mother, God can't stand it, and she will be thundered by the sky. ”

It's still this set of rhetoric, which is not new at all.

When Liu Chengpeng's daughter-in-law heard this, she also hurriedly grabbed her mother-in-law, but she couldn't let her mother-in-law mess around.

"Mother, now the people in the entire Liujia Village buy seeds from the second brother's family, and they all speak for the second brother's family. If we don't give money, not only will we not be able to get the seeds, but we will probably be scolded by the villagers. Niu said, not wanting her mother-in-law to make trouble inside.

After all, they have had enough of such a lesson.

The end of obsession is that half of the wheat in this year's 30 acres of land is moldy, and even if such wheat is dried in time, it will only cost two pennies a catty.

When the old lady saw that her eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law said this, she was so angry that she stomped her feet, "You don't accept my kindness, then I won't be this bad person." ”

When the old lady entered the house with a snort, Niu whispered: "Master, this Liu Chengxiang probably can't look down on our wheat, you should hurry up and take the silver to buy wheat seeds, lest it be too late and you won't be able to buy it." ”

Liu Chengpeng nodded, "What you said is that the second brother's family still has the highest wheat yield, and it is estimated that other people in the village will buy the second brother's wheat seeds." ”

"It's not just in the village, I heard that many daughters-in-law's mothers' families, as well as the in-laws of married daughters, want it, hurry up, the wheat of the second family is estimated to be unable to be saved." Niu reminded.

Liu Chengpeng was also anxious, "Hurry up and get the silver, we need twenty catties of land for this acre, and our family has thirty acres of land, which requires six hundred catties of wheat seeds." One pound and four cents, which is two or four dollars of silver. ”

When Niu heard this, he directly gave five taels of silver, "One catty and four wen, that is the price of ordinary wheat, last year the people in the village began to exchange one and a half catties of wheat for one catty of wheat seeds, that is, six wen."

This year, even the government has stepped in, and the price of this wheat seed may be even higher. You take four cents to buy it, the second child is not the same as before, can he sell it to you so cheaply? Hurry up and hurry up, stop picking and searching······"

When Liu Chengpeng heard this, he felt that it made sense, so he could only follow his wife's words.

The honest second brother is not honest now, not only dare to have a hard fight with him, the eldest brother, but also have a good face for the old mother.

When Liu Chengpeng hurried to Old Man Liu's house, he saw many mule carts parked in front of Liu Chengxiang's house.

Liu Chengpeng saw the official carrying bags of grain from Liu Chengxiang's house and placing them on the mule cart.

Liu Chengxiang stood in front of Master Li with a smile, "Thank you Master Li for your support, my family's wheat is actually sold at such a high price!" ”

"Hehe, this is also your family's wheat yield is high, it is a very good seed, so the county lord ordered to buy the good seed at a high price, and then transport it to the warehouse for preservation, and plant it in large quantities next year!" Master Li replied.

The discovery of the good seed has now been reported, and Fucheng has also given a reply.

Let them find a good place to plant, determine the yield again next year, and then report to the imperial court, be sure to ensure a high yield, and there can be no half-point difference.

In order to treat the old man Liu's family who produced good seeds, the county lord Zhou bought the wheat of the old man Liu at the highest price of good seeds.

Old man Liu's family only had 20 acres of land, so he left him more than 400 catties of seeds, and the remaining 10,000 catties were all bought by the county magistrate.
