Chapter 234 Sweet Potato Flour (2)
"Today I specially asked you to come here for the seedling auction in ten days' time. I hope that at that time, each of your prefectures will send someone to Huazhou, and at the same time, you will also be in the capital to promote the auction." Jingyue thought about it. The momentum of the auction will be bigger, and the effect of combining the power of the crowd will be stronger.

"Sister Yue'er, what is a seedling auction?" Seeing that Xiao Chenyu didn't dare to refute Jingyue's words just now, Tang Ao was already happy. Since Xiao Chenyu's death spot is Jingyue, as long as Jingyue Yue protected him, so Xiao Chenyu didn't dare to do anything to him.

"You should know that Yu and I have a lot of sweet potato seedlings in our hands, and the sweet potatoes we distributed to the people in various places for trial planting have already achieved a bumper harvest. In many places, nearly [-] catties of sweet potatoes are produced per mu. At that time, a large number of seedlings will definitely be needed, and Xichao has a vast land, and the demand for seedlings is high. Although they can be supplied to the people for free, I don't intend to do so." Jingyue said.

"Why?" An Ruiqian asked in confusion.The fact that Jingyue and Xiao Chenyu provided free seedlings to the people of Xi Dynasty has already gained them a very good reputation among the people, why not continue to do so?

"Because, a large number of seedlings will definitely be distributed by local governments at that time, but think about how many checkpoints will be passed from top to bottom, and how many seedlings will actually reach the hands of the people in the end. In this case , Why don’t I make a lot of money and let rich people buy my seedlings to grow land, and the money I earn can buy good land and plant a lot of food.” Jingyue made no secret of her true intentions.

"Princess Yue, you are right. There are thousands of hectares of fertile land in the hands of wealthy government and businessmen. If sweet potatoes are planted in their fields, the number of sweet potato seedlings will increase accordingly. One mu of land can produce ten thousand catties. By then They will definitely have more and more seedlings, and if they can't grow them all, they may sell them to the common people at a low price." Li Yuan patted his thigh and said excitedly.

"Brother Li, let's not think about whether they will be sold to the common people. Rare things are more expensive. Sweet potato seedlings are still precious now, but in two years, there may be sweet potatoes everywhere in Xichao. By then The sweet potato loses its due use value, so I want to let it do another great deed for the people of Xichao when it is most valuable. Therefore, I invite you here today, hoping that you can help me, No, to be precise, it's helping Xi Dynasty." Jingyue said solemnly.

"Yue'er, tell me!" Yun Tanxue believed that what Jingyue did was definitely not for her own self-interest, her sister-in-law was a strange woman with the world in mind.

"Okay, I hope that you can spread the news in various directions in Xichao, especially to attract the attention of the city lords of the four frontiers, so that they can send people to participate in the auction, and they must be very interested in the seedlings. These frontier city lords occupy land as kings, have a lot of land in their hands, and have rich family wealth, so if they bleed a little, it can be regarded as paying taxes to the emperor and the people of the Xi Dynasty."

"Don't worry, Yue'er, this matter will be handed over to Jinning Hou's Mansion and Anning Hou's Mansion!" Gu Zicheng did not forget to bring Tang Ao together.

"Why should I do this with you? Maybe sister Yue'er has more important things for me to do!" Tang Ao said unwillingly.

"It's best for you and me to do this matter!" Gu Zicheng said with a smile.

"Well, I'll leave this matter to you two! In addition, there are many rich and powerful families in the cities and fields of each state, and we also want to invite them, but we can't directly invite them to participate in the shooting meeting, but let them Take the initiative, because only by participating spontaneously, they will be willing to pay a high price to buy seedlings. Brothers, do you understand?" Jingyue said these words specifically to Gu Zicheng and Tang Ao, just It was not enough to attract the attention of the four frontier city lords. They had to be very interested in the seedlings themselves, and it was inevitable that they wanted them.

"Sister Yue'er, don't worry, we understand!" Tang Ao triumphantly cast a wink at Jingyue, but was soon turned away by Xiao Chenyu's cold eyes.

"Also, it's better for the princes, princes and ministers of the court to participate in the auction, especially the prince, Jinwang and Lingzheng. I hope they can buy as many as possible." Jingyue said these words At that time, everyone clearly saw a treacherous smile flashing across her face.

"Sister Yue'er, why? Lingzheng and the Crown Prince, King Jin and others are not good people. If they bought all the seedlings, it would not be a disaster for Xi Dynasty." Cheng Leyao said worriedly .

"Sister Le Yao, it is because they are not good people that I want to sell them a lot of seedlings. You may not know that most of the land in Xichao is in the hands of the Crown Prince and Ling Zheng, and King Jin. There are also many, using their land to grow our sweet potatoes, such a good thing, why don't I do it!" Jingyue said with a smile.

"Sister Yue'er, I was confused by you, how could the sweet potatoes in their fields become ours?" Cheng Leyao frowned, wondering.

"The answer to this question, I will tell you later, the auction has not yet been held, everything is unknown." Jingyue said.

"Princess Yue, please continue." Li Yuan could no longer hold back his curiosity.

So, Jingyue went on to tell them about the seedling auction, and the meeting in the Yue Palace didn't end until the sun was high.

Within a day, rumors were heard from all over Xichao, saying that after ten days, Prince Yue and Princess Yue would hold a huge auction in Qibaolou, Huazhou, and the auction would mainly auction the miraculous grain with a yield of ten thousand catties per mu. - Seedlings of sweet potatoes.

All of a sudden, not only the whole country of Xichao was shaken, but even the neighboring countries who heard the news also went around to inquire.Soon, the rumors about the auction intensified, and people of all kinds entered Huazhou City in an endless stream from morning to night, and the Qibao Building was booked out very early.

On the day when the auction officially started, the city of Huazhou was overcrowded, and even the gates of the city were blocked with people who wanted to participate in the auction.

The emperor, who happened to hear the news, was blocked at the gate of the city when he went on a tour in micro-clothes.

"Master, there are too many people here, let's go back!" Eunuch Xue's brow was sweating in winter, he had seen a big battle with the emperor, but he had never seen such a crowd of people, all of them Blocked at the gate of the city, unable to enter or exit.

"Huazhou City is so lively today, how can I be absent!" The emperor sat in a tea room outside the city gate, looked at the people crowded at the gate, and said with a smile.

"Master, you see that there are so many people, we can't get in at all, let's go back!" Every time the emperor goes on tour in micro-clothes, Eunuch Xue is very worried. He is really afraid that something will happen to the emperor. The sky is still falling.
