Chapter 114 Selling Sweet Potatoes (3)

Qin Muzhang thought for a while and nodded. Anyway, they still have seeds. If there is not enough in Qinjiazhuang, he can ask his wife and mother to prepare more and sell them to Lan Tingfeng.

"Okay, I can sell you the seeds of corn and new rice. How about five thousand catties of corn and three thousand catties of rice?" Qin Muzhang said.

"Okay." Lan Tingfeng nodded.

In the end, when Lan Tingfeng left, he took away five thousand catties of corn and three thousand catties of rice, and left more than 1000 taels of silver to Qin Muzhang's family.

Of course, so much money must be given in bank notes. It is impossible for Lan Tingfeng to carry so much silver with him, so the 150 taels of silver notes plus more than a dozen taels of cash are left to Qin Muzhang, and Lan Tingfeng takes them with him. With his subordinates left.

Lan Tingfeng left Qinjiazhuang, and now everyone in Qinjiazhuang is in joy. Although everyone's income is not as much as that of Qin Muzhang's family, some people have also earned several taels of silver.

These few taels of silver are almost the same as what they got for nothing. After all, these sweet potatoes were grown from the sweet potato vines they bought from Qin Muzhang's house. up.

Qin Family Manor has indeed made a lot of money today, the biggest one is Qin Muzhang's family who has earned more than 100 taels of silver, but it is his ability to sell so many sweet potatoes grown by others, and everyone has nothing to be jealous of .

Even if someone is jealous, they don't dare to say it out, otherwise those people in the whole Qinjiazhuang who have earned a few taels of silver under Qin Muzhang's care will complain about the sour talker.

The reason why everyone can earn so much money today is because of the honor of Qin Muzhang's family. If they talk sourly like this, then they don't have to think about being able to gain the honor of Qin Muzhang's family in the future.

Qin Muzhang's family didn't care what the villagers thought. After selling 8000 catties of sweet potatoes and more than 1 catties of corn and rice, their family still has more than [-] catties of grain left.

Chen Qiuxiang and Qin Muzhang planned to keep about one or two thousand catties of sweet potatoes. When they wanted to eat roasted sweet potatoes, boiled sweet potatoes, dried sweet potatoes, or sweet potato balls, they would take them out for cooking. The remaining several thousand catties of sweet potatoes were going to be made into sweet potato flour.

But if you want to make sweet potatoes, that's a matter for later, and now everyone piles up all the sweet potatoes in the warehouse.

On the other hand, Lan Tingfeng took people to the county seat of Huyang County, and approached Yang Suping, the magistrate of Huyang County, hoping that he would pay attention to this sweet potato, and then distribute the sweet potato to other villages under the jurisdiction of Huyang County to grow it.

"Lord Lan, what you said is true? Is this sweet potato really yielding five thousand catties per mu?" Yang Suping was extremely surprised when Lan Tingfeng found him. Appeared in this place in Huyang County.

Although Huyang County is not considered a backcountry, it is far away from the capital after all. When did the investigation of Dali Temple find Huyang County?

Even if it was a case involving people from the Jianghu, wouldn't there still be Shenjimen and Jinyiwei?Why did Lan Tingfeng, a member of Dali Temple, come so far away to investigate the case?

But no matter how surprised Yang Suping was by Lan Tingfeng's appearance, he was not surprised when he said that sweet potatoes yielded five thousand catties per mu. He had never heard of such a large yield of grain.

"I bought these sweet potatoes from the family who planted sweet potatoes. I checked very clearly. That family planted [-] acres of sweet potatoes, and his family harvested [-] to [-] catties of sweet potatoes. "

"You said that if the yield is not so high, where did he get the rest of the sweet potatoes?" Lan Tingfeng looked at Yang Suping and said, "You must know that the people in that village watched them collect them, so they couldn't make them. Disadvantage."

Yang Suping was persuaded by Lan Tingfeng, he believed what he said, but after he believed it, he became excited.

As an official, he is of course happy that the common people can get a high-yield grain, which prevents many people from starving to death.

"Lord Lan, these sweet potatoes cost a lot of money, right?" Yang Suping said.

"Not much, just over 1000 taels of silver, and less than 500 taels." Lan Tingfeng said calmly.

"What? You bought so much grain for less than 500 taels of silver? And it's such a high-yield grain?" Yang Suping was even more surprised.

"That family is very kind, sweet potatoes cost [-] cents a catty." Lan Tingfeng said, "In addition to sweet potatoes, there is also rice that can yield a thousand catties per mu."

Lan Tingfeng didn't say anything about the corn, he planned to buy the corn seeds and the remaining sweet potatoes to send to the next destination, and Yang Suping would hand over the rice.

Anyway, Huyang County is more suitable for growing rice, and it would be good to give these rice seeds to Yang Suping and let him find a way to give them to other races.

Yang Suping and Lan Tingfeng bargained for the price, and then negotiated the amount of [-] catties of sweet potatoes and [-] catties of rice, and then paid Lan Tingfeng from the county government's account for the purchase of sweet potatoes and rice seeds.

There is no need to worry that the money in the county government account will not be recovered. After all, Yang Suping does not intend to give sweet potato and rice seeds to other people for nothing. If you want seeds, you must spend money to buy them.

Lan Tingfeng rested all night in Huyang County, and found someone to send all the leftovers to the next place the next day.

Regarding the sweet potatoes, Lan Tingfeng left [-] catties for Yang Suping's Huyang County, and the remaining tens of thousands of catties of sweet potatoes were sent directly to the northwest border.

According to what Qin Muzhang said, sweet potatoes are more resistant to cold and drought, so it would be good to send them to the northwest frontier for the garrison there to grow.

If it is sent to the frontier now, at least it can be planted around May, and the sweet potatoes can be harvested in five months, and it will be around October, so that the Northwest Garrison can harvest a large amount of grain before winter.

As for sending things from the South to the Northwest within a month, that's impossible.There is a canal from Huyang County to the northwest through which boats can pass, and things can be sent to the northwest within a month.

After Lan Tingfeng took care of everything and watched the boat carrying tens of thousands of catties of sweet potatoes heading northwest, he felt a lot relieved.

"Let's go back to Beijing." Lan Tingfeng said to the subordinates driving in front after putting down the curtains of the carriage.

"Yes." Lan Tingfeng's subordinates responded, driving the carriage and leaving the wharf in Huyang County.

Kuangzhou City, Zhennan Palace.

"Lan Tingfeng has returned to Beijing?" The man who was so handsome as if he was not ordinary was sitting behind the desk, holding a writing brush in one hand and rubbing a piece of exquisitely carved jade beside him with the other, casually said.

"Yes, Lan Shaoqing has left Huyang County." A man with ordinary clothes and ordinary appearance below said with a slight bow.

"Well, since he was lucky enough to survive, let him return to the capital safely." The handsome man, Zhennan Wang Yingfeng, said lazily.

"Yes." The ordinary man below clasped his fists in response, and then backed out.
