Dong Xiang seemed to understand whether she understood or not, and felt that what the young master said was very reasonable: "But, what does this have to do with us, the young master knows that the Taishou Mansion wants money now, why should we get together?" ”

"Forgot the potatoes you just picked up?"

"Young Master wants to use those potatoes?"

"Yes, now is the time. No matter what era it is, officials and businessmen are not separated, and if we want to make business bigger, we must have the support of the imperial court to solve problems for local officials, and we will naturally get some benefits. ”

The two walked all the way, and as soon as they walked, they arrived at the gate of the Taishou Mansion unconsciously.

Bai Song is not a living person, and the official who guards the door was a little surprised when he saw Bai Song, and without waiting for Bai Song to speak, he said that he would go inside to report.

Soon, Lord Jiang personally greeted him.

The current Bai family can be described as a big family in Jixian County, although it is thin, but relying on a Bai Mansion is enough to pomp and circumstance, who doesn't give some face to other big families?

Bai Song is rich, there is no doubt about it.

At least Master Jiang is convinced of this, and he is naturally worthy of being greeted in person.

"Bai Gongzi, don't come to harm?! Hurry up, inside please. ”

Bai Song was stunned for a moment, still thinking about his identity as a fugitive, why was Master Jiang so enthusiastic?

Looking at Bai Song's expression, Master Jiang knew that he was puzzled, and whispered: "Bai Gongzi doesn't need to be nervous, I have already heard the prince mention the original matter." Recently, the prince also cleared Bai Gongzi of the crime and informed the court of all the reasons, so Bai Gongzi no longer has to worry about his identity. ”

Bai Song was a little surprised, but he didn't expect Li Zhan to say that he would not let him leave, but he restored his identity within a few days, so this Li Zhan is still a little humane.

Bai Song didn't want to expose himself, mainly because of his identity as a fugitive, and he was much more relieved to learn that he had recovered his identity.

Bai Song followed Lord Jiang into the mansion, and without waiting to sit down, he asked straight to the point: "Lord Jiang, I heard that you are going to have a banquet for the major families in the county?" ”

"Yes, has Bai Gongzi received an invitation? Now the Bai family is second to none in Jixian County, and it can't be without the participation of Bai Gongzi. ”

"I've received the invitation, so I'll come and take a look first, I don't know if Lord Jiang needs help?"

Master Jiang snorted and refused to admit it: "What's the matter, I just want to be close to the family in Jixian County, after all, the development of a state is indispensable for the government and the people to help each other, right?" ”

Bai Song smiled: "Lord Jiang, sooner or later, you have to talk about things, why hide it, isn't it the recent problem of hungry people." ”

When Jiang Yu heard this, his face changed, and he hurriedly grabbed Bai Song's hand and made a silent gesture: "Shhh...... Where did Bai Gongzi get the news? ”

"On the way back, I saw a lot on the way, and I believe that the situation will be worse near the north."

Jiang Yu didn't say it immediately, he closed the door by himself, and only then did he show a bitter look: "It's good that Bai Gongzi knows, this official is worried about this matter!" The previous year, although I won the war, I raised a lot of military rations for the emperor's order. Now the malaise of raising military rations has begun to appear, and there is a shortage of food in various parts of Youzhou. In addition, a large number of Turkic people entered Youzhou, which further consumed Youzhou's grain.

I just got the news that there is a team of more than 30,000 people in the west of Pi County, and they are planning to go to the capital at this moment. If this group of people is allowed to reach the feet of the Son of Heaven, it is good that the black gauze hat of this official falls off, but he is afraid that his life will not be saved. ”

"A hungry army of 30,000 people?" Bai Song frowned, the situation was much more serious than he imagined.

The potatoes he received were only 10,000 catties, which was a drop in the bucket.

Bai Song didn't want to beat around the bush, so he directly took out a boiled potato: "Can adults recognize this?" ”

"It's ......"

"Potatoes."

Jiang Yu thought for a while, and suddenly said: "Oh, this official remembers that there is a dish called fried shredded potatoes in Donglai Restaurant." ”

"I have 12,000 catties of potatoes on hand, which can replace food to feed people's hunger.

"12,000 catties!" Jiang Yu was in an uproar.

"It took me a year to make use of some of the abandoned fields in Youzhou and plant them."

"This official also heard that the crops in the fields near Bi County are growing well, and the surrounding people are farming frequently, so it turned out that Bai Gongzi was pushing you?"

"In addition to potatoes, there are soybeans, wheat, ears, and all kinds of common vegetables, a total of nearly 300 acres of land, and the crops that can be harvested recently are almost 200 acres, and a total of 100,000 to 150,000 catties of grain can be produced."

Hearing this number, Jiang Yu's jaw fell to the ground.

"Two hundred acres, 100,000 catties? How is this possible? ”

Jiang Yu couldn't believe it, according to what Bai Song said, wouldn't the yield per mu be more than five hundred catties?

Even the most fertile fields in Datang have a maximum of 300 catties per acre.

And what's even more unbelievable is that this kid Bai Song actually secretly did such a big deal!

How did he do it after planting 300 acres of land?

"Bai Gongzi, you're not joking about this, are you?"

"Didn't you notice the fields outside the county?"

Jiang Yu nodded.

"Those are my fields, if you don't believe it, you can check last year's field book."

Why did Jiang Yu bother to check this? He knew that this kid was not a man of his own words, and since he said it, it must be true.

Jiang Yu felt that he had grasped a life-saving straw, pacing back and forth but not knowing how to speak.

Bai Song was straightforward: "All my fields and all my harvests can be used to tide over the difficulties for the adults, so that the hungry people will not go to Chang'an City." ”

"White ...... Bai Gongzi, are you serious? ”

"Of course."

Jiang Yu was so excited that he was about to jump up, but he was so excited that he was excited.

Doesn't he know that there is no such thing as a free lunch?

Bai Song definitely had his purpose.

"Bai Gongzi, then you can make a price first."

"I don't want money."

"Don't want money?" Jiang Yu is even more vigilant, how can a businessman not need money? Free stuff is definitely more expensive!

"I just want Lord Jiang to vouch for me from the imperial court and help me implement the silver ticket."

"Silver ticket?!" Jiang Yu was stunned, he had never heard of this thing.

"Do you remember the Chen family's five thousand taels of silver being cheated away? And many large families have had their belongings stolen before? ”

Jiang Yu nodded.

"At present, the currency of Datang is too bloated and inconvenient to carry. There are often cases of property being stolen from the people, and the rich and noble families are restless day and night in order to hide money. In the future, my Bai family will implement silver tickets, as long as someone deposits the family's belongings in the Bai family, the Bai family guarantees and cares, and exchanges them into silver tickets of equivalent value. That's where the silver ticket comes in. ”

The concept of a silver ticket is relatively simple, and with a little explanation, Jiang Yu understands.

But Jiang Yu quickly realized the problem, this matter needs to pay attention to credibility, if other families save money to enter, what if your Bai family suddenly runs away? As an individual, there will definitely be doubts.

At this time, the guarantee of the imperial court comes into play.

The so-called guarantee means that after the Bai family has an accident or leaves with a cover, the court will come forward to cover the Bai family.

That's a big deal!
