Happy peasant girl

Chapter 237 Seed Effect (4)
Lin Qingxi smiled and said: "Master, I can't accept your IOU, because I know that even if you have been the seventh-rank county magistrate for a lifetime, you still can't afford me this kind of money."

"Girl Xi, why are you talking to your master!" Lin Yuanshan glared at Lin Qingxi, blaming her for being a little too big or too young, and for making Lu Zhiming, a county parent official, unable to step down in person.

"It's okay, Xi'er is right, I, the county magistrate, really can't afford it!" Lu Zhiming said with a wry smile.

"Grandpa, master, you need to let me finish my sentence. I said that it is true that master can't afford it. If outsiders come to buy my wheat seeds, teach them how to grow wheat, and give them a pack of pesticides, at least It is said that a catty of wheat seeds costs one tael of silver, but the master is not an outsider, so I can just lend it to him." Lin Qingxi said.

"Xi'er, just lend it to me, and I'm afraid I won't be able to pay it back in the future!" Lu Zhiming didn't find it difficult to handle the case by himself, but it was difficult for him to earn money by himself.

"Master, you can afford it. How many catties of wheat seeds I lent you, you can just give me back as many catties of wheat seeds when I will harvest next year, and since you are my master, the rental fee will be waived." Right." Lin Qingxi said with a smile.

Everyone in the yard was shocked by Lin Qingxi's words. Although the number of catties of wheat that was borrowed and repaid remained the same, after one year, a catty of wheat seeds would not be a catty of wheat, but had multiplied countless times. , Linqingxi is basically equivalent to giving away for nothing.

"Xi'er, are you serious?" Lu Zhiming stood up from his chair.

"Of course it is true! Master, as an apprentice, I understand your intentions. You should also want to lease the wheat seeds to the common people in this way, right? If that is the case, the apprentice should follow in the footsteps of the master."

Linqingxi is not short of gold and silver, and now she doesn't want to turn herself into a person who is all about money. Although money is important, more and more people have begun to teach her that there are more important things in this world than money.

"But Xi'er, if this is the case, no one will come to the village to buy wheat seeds with money!" Lin Qingxi was right, that's what Lu Zhiming planned to do.

He was thinking of buying wheat seeds from Linqingxi, and then leasing them to the people in the county for free. At that time, the two parties would sign a contract document, renting how many catties of wheat seeds, and returning them to the county government in the autumn harvest.

"Master, I didn't intend to make money from wheat seeding, and by doing this, you will save the village from having to inquire all day." Linjia Village has now become a well-known wealthy village, and many people are staring at it, but It's also strange, but I don't see any troublemakers coming in to make trouble.

In fact, what Linqingxi didn't know was that many people who protected the village had long been hidden in the dark of Linjia Village. Although their master was not alone, their purpose was the same, that is, to prevent anyone from hurt here.

"Xi girl, if you say that, can outsiders also plant the [-] mu of wheat seeds you gave to our village?" Linxing asked suddenly.

"Of course you can. If you have relatives and friends who want to plant wheat seeds in our village, you can just ask my grandpa." Lin Qingxi knew that the people in Linjia Village couldn't run out of those wheat seeds, and they wanted to make money. It's nothing to give away favors, it's just human nature.

"I thought it wouldn't work, haha! Uncle Yuanshan, girl Xi, don't worry, my sister and I have used this wheat seed for home use, and next year I will double it back to you." Linxing said with a smile.

His sister's family was so poor that it was almost impossible to get rid of it, so he planned to let his sister and brother-in-law grow the wheat seeds in Linqingxi, and he could tell them how to plant it, so that their family would not have to worry about it.

"Uncle Linxing, you don't need to double it. As I said, the wheat seeds of the villagers are all free of charge." Keep your word, Linqingxi will not do things that go back on what you say.

"Xi girl, I want to set up a longevity tablet for you, and I will enshrine you all day long, ha ha!" Lin Xing said with a smile.

"Uncle Linxing, don't say that, I'm still young, I'm afraid I'll lose my life!" Lin Qingxi said mischievously sticking out her tongue.

"Nonsense, what is life shortening, girl Xi, don't talk nonsense in the future!" Linyuan Shan reprimanded very severely as if thinking of something.

Unexpectedly, Linyuan Mountain would have such a big reaction, Lin Qingxi hurriedly said: "I won't say it, and I won't say it again in the future."

Two days later, Linqingxi asked the people in Xiyuan to prepare all the wheat seeds, and then notified Lu Zhiming to send someone to take them away.

After seeing the posted notice, the people in Fu'an County rushed to tell the good news. On the day when the wheat seeds were officially leased, there was a long queue in the county government office.

In order to write the contract documents for the people to rent wheat seeds, Mr. Jiang almost broke his hands. Later, seeing too many people came, he found a few friends who usually talked about poetry and essays to help him write together.

There is a wheat mountain in Linqingxi, but within a few days, all of them were taken away by Lu Zhiming, and soon the large warehouse in Xiyuan was more than half empty.

Looking at the increasingly empty grain warehouse, Ling Lan, the "housekeeper", asked Lin Qingxi distressedly: "Girl, do these people eat wheat seeds as food? Our food is getting less and less every day, Lu The county magistrate’s cart to pull grain is getting bigger and bigger every day.”

Lin Qingxi knew that Lily Lane was concerned about her family's food, so she smiled and comforted her and said, "It's okay, we will save enough food for our Xiyuan, Nayuan and Xiuyuan for two years, and we can plant spring wheat next year, besides, By this time next year, your granary will still be full, and if someone borrows it from you, won’t it be returned to you? Why are you so anxious!”

"Girl, you can't say that, if they don't give it to you! Besides, didn't you say yesterday that you want to select some good performers from Nayuan to the embroidery garden, and then recruit some female workers who make shoe soles? This Nayuan When there are more people, there will be more to eat, this food must not be enough!" When Ling Lan said these words, tears rolled in the circles of her eyes.It doesn't matter if she is narrow-minded, but she just doesn't want to.

Lin Qingxi wanted to tell her that the hundreds of thousands of catties of grain was eaten by the entire Linjia Village, and it would take a long time to eat it, and the output of grain in the future would be even higher. Could it be that they were all piled up in the warehouse and moldy? ?

However, seeing Ling Lan's tearful eyes of grievance, Lin Qingxi had no choice but to smile and didn't say anything.

The more surprising thing was yet to come. Wei Xuan also knew about the high yield of wheat in Linqingxi, so he personally sent Ye Ying to arrive at Linjia Village and sent a letter to Linqingxi. There are 20 taels of silver notes.

After reading the letter, Lin Qingxi asked Ye Ying to take away 20 catties of stored grain overnight. When Ling Lan looked at the empty warehouse, she couldn't help squatting in the warehouse and crying loudly. Not good advice.

"Girl, what do you think we should do?" Jasmine asked, pointing at Ling Lan who was still sobbing.
