Chapter 174: trade
Chapter 174 Buying and selling
Dugu Huanxu nodded solemnly, "Yes, this sweet potato yields 10,000 jin per mu, if every household can grow it, and with the rice yielding over 1,000 jin per mu, it is estimated that no common people will starve to death anymore, even There is a lot of surplus food every year.”
"However, Li Wang's fief is the last peaceful place. In order to have enough military rations, I guess even if I send people to plant them, I guess it will only be used as military rations in the future. It will take a lot of time to promote it in the fief."
"But don't worry, I will give you enough money to ensure that you will not suffer."
Nangong Anshan said: "Yes, I can give you the seeds now, and you can also plant them now, and you can plant them in the greenhouse, so you don't have to waste several months of winter. You have to use sweet potatoes as The military rations are up to you, and the promotion among the people is left to me, and as long as the people are willing to plant, they can buy seeds from me.”
Li Wang was overjoyed immediately, this girl is really a good girl who understands righteousness.
Dugu Huanxu said solemnly: "Okay, then thank you, I will still buy seeds with you, after all, you paid for your seeds."
Nangong Anshan smiled and said: "Okay, then I will not be polite, this seed is not very expensive, I will count it as one hundred yuan per mu of land, I can give you the seeds of one hundred mu of land, but most people use It is very likely that the seeds will not survive, so I will wait for the seeds to grow into vines before handing them over to you."
One hundred acres of land can produce one million catties of sweet potatoes.
Now they are planting in the greenhouse, and they can harvest in a few months. In addition to the military rations they saved for the war in these years, it should be enough to deal with the war in the first half of the year.
In the second half of the year, the first round of high-yield grains will be harvested on a large scale, so the military rations in the second half of the year will be available, and sweet potatoes can also be harvested in the second half of the year.
Thinking of this, King Li felt less anxious in an instant. If war starts next year, their chances of winning will be greater.
Dugu Huanxu smiled and said, "Thank you very much."
After speaking, he handed a bank note to Nangong Anshan, "This time the money is not much, so I'll give it to you first."
Nangong Anshan was not polite, and took it readily.
Dugu Huanxu thought for a while, and gave her another bank note.
Nangong Anshan didn't answer for the time being, and asked, "You are..."
Dugu Huanxu said: "I want to ask you to buy some sweet potatoes. Your family probably can't finish eating these sweet potatoes. They should be sold, right?"
"It's true that you can't finish it, and it will take up space in the cellar." Nangong Anshan said: "If you want to buy it, you can buy it. How much is it?"
"It's only 30,000 catties. I'll give it to the soldiers in the army. It's a fresh meal for them."
Nangong Anshan said: "Okay, this will free up a lot of space for me. I'm worried that the cellar won't be able to hold so many sweet potatoes."
Dugu Huanxu said: "What's the price?"
Nangong Anshan thought for a moment, and said: "Just two pennies a catty."
If the initial price is set too high, the common people will feel that it is more profitable to grow sweet potatoes in the future, and they will probably not be willing to grow rice. At that time, the intervention of the state will be required. In case King Li hates her for disrupting the market and does not want If you cooperate with her again, she will be miserable.
Now there are few sweet potatoes, two pennies should be about the same. After it is promoted, it is estimated that it is one penny per catty, and some people will think it is expensive.
Sweet potatoes are good, but they are not as good as rice after all.
Dugu Huanxu said: "Will you lose a lot by doing this? Don't worry about me, I'm rich."
Nangong Anshan said: "No, you also know that my daily income is also quite a lot."
"Okay." After Dugu Huanxu finished speaking, he handed her the bank note just now, "You don't have to give me the extra money, just take it as my thanks to you, thank you for letting me know that in this world There is such a good thing as sweet potatoes."
Nangong Anshan raised her eyebrows and said, "Isn't that a little little?"
Sweet potatoes can be very good for increasing the population of Li Wang's fief in the future. As long as the people can't go hungry in the future, they will definitely try their best to have children. After all, ancient people believed in many children and blessings.
From ancient times to the present, many people want to have more children, but they are afraid that they will not be able to support them.
Dugu Huanxu said solemnly: "Don't worry, I will ask His Royal Highness Li Wang for your merits, and he will definitely reward you when the time comes."
Nangong Anshan pointed to her fingers and said, "But last time I planted high-yielding rice, His Royal Highness Li Wang didn't reward me. I also planted cotton and oil, which changed the way Li Wang conferred land for cooking. "
Li Wang choked suddenly, it seemed that he did treat her badly last time.
He just felt that it was the best reward for him to give her shelter. He forgot that this person is still a little girl and needs rewards to encourage her.
Seeing his father nodding to him, Dugu Huanxu said helplessly: "Well, last time His Royal Highness Li Wang really should reward you, I also forgot to tell His Royal Highness Li, don't worry, I will talk to Li Wang when I go back this time." His Royal Highness said that he will definitely reward you heavily."
Nangong Anshan suddenly smiled, "Then I'll just wait."
"Well, I will do what I say."
The three talked for a while, and Nangong Anshan praised the sweet potatoes that were going to be sold to Dugu Huanxu, and told them how to store sweet potatoes for a longer period of time.
Dugu Huanxu sent someone to prepare the carriage just now, he wanted to stay and wait for the carriage to arrive, but Li Wang suddenly received a secret letter, so he had no choice but to go back, leaving only Feng Yun and others to deal with it.
Seeing that it was getting late, Nangong Anshan saw that the remaining 10,000 catties of sweet potatoes were too much. It was really inconvenient to transport them back to the cellar, and then to take them out every time, so she shared her thoughts with Zhou Lizheng. said.
Zhou Lizheng said: "Ashan, what do you mean, you want to sell some sweet potatoes to the people in the village?"
Nangong Anshan nodded: "That's right, you all ate sweet potatoes just now, and you know the taste of sweet potatoes. I believe other people in the village will like them too. It's the same price as the one sold to A Xu, two cents a catty. , I can buy as much as I want, and I don’t force it.”
She also thought about giving it to the villagers for free, but she was worried that it would be given to white-eyed wolves who would eat her food, and in the end she would dislike her food as unpalatable, so she dismissed the idea.
Zhou Lizheng said: "The price is reasonable, but I don't know if anyone will buy it."
"It's okay." Nangong Anshan said: "I just want everyone to taste the taste of sweet potatoes, so that they will follow suit in the future."
"Okay." Zhou Lizheng went back home, took out the gong, and started beating the gong.
All the people nearby heard the sound of the gong, and they all gathered around.
Those who have participated in digging sweet potatoes know that it must be related to sweet potatoes, and the rest of the people who have not participated in it all come over with puzzled faces.
