Chapter 690

Tang Xianling smiled, didn't pick up his stubble, and continued to ask, "what's the difference between the two kinds of wheat?"

Zhou Silang thought for a moment and said, "I haven't planted any wheat, but after I collected new wheat in the first year, I sifted the new wheat and changed wheat seeds with the villagers. Only my family planted selected wheat seeds. In the second year, my family generally had more wheat than others, so two baskets of wheat, just one mu of land."

Man Bao also frowned and helped to think about it. "But in recent years, the seeds planted in the village are selected from the previous year, and the yield per mu is getting higher and higher. Now even if the wheat seeds have been screened only twice, it is better than the first time our family changed them to the people in the village."

Tang Xianling nodded and asked the price.

After thinking for a while, Zhou Silang said, "all the wheat seeds I'm going to take out are 140 Wen a bucket. If Lord Tang wants it, I'll be five Wen cheaper. How about it?"

Now the seeds in the grain shop in Yizhou city are 150 Wen a bucket for old wheat and 200 Wen for new wheat. Basically, ordinary people can't afford new wheat seeds at home.

Tang county made a little eyebrow and asked Zhou Silang curiously, "how can you sell so cheap?"

Zhou Silang didn't think it was cheap, because it wasn't so expensive for him to go back to his hometown to buy these wheat seeds. Even if some villagers fooled him with wheat that had only been screened once, it wouldn't be a loss if their brothers screened it again after they came home.

A fight can make a lot of money.

Moreover, "Lord Tang, I don't have a store. I go directly to the countryside to sell. If it's inconvenient for me, who will buy it with me."

Lord Tang smiled and asked, "do you know that things like grain planting can't be sold without stores, and after they are sold, they have to pay a tax to the county government."

Zhou Silang was stunned and said, "Lord Tang, I paid the tax for entering the city."

"There's more than tax for entering the city in this business. If you don't believe it, let your sister turn to the law of the great Jin Dynasty."

Zhou sirang immediately turned to see man Bao.

Bai Shan didn't know when he stood behind man Bao. Seeing this, he said, "brother Thursday, what you sell is obviously surplus wheat at home. How did it become wheat seed?"

Zhou Silang, an agitator, immediately nodded and said, "yes, yes, I sell wheat, not wheat seed. As for whether they buy wheat to eat or plant, I don't know."

Man Bao nodded again and again, looking innocently at county magistrate Tang, "Lord Tang, I heard that there are many refugees in Yizhou city. The food price here is high. Our family is farming. Is it normal for them to buy some wheat with us to eat?"

Tang Xianling knocked Bai Shan on the forehead and said with a smile, "slick, your 140 Wen a bucket of wheat is not expensive? It's more expensive than those in the grain shop. Which refugee will buy wheat from you? "

Bai Shan rubbed his forehead. Seeing that he didn't look like asking for punishment, he asked, "what do you want to say?"

"I don't want to do anything," said Tang Ling with a smile. "I heard that the price of good wheat seeds in Yizhou fluctuated between 110 Wen and 120 Wen before the flood."

Man Bao said, "how about we sell you 120 Wen?"

County Magistrate Tang looked at her and said nothing.

Man Bao couldn't help shouting, "Lord Tang, the villagers all know that our wheat is going to be used as wheat seed, so the price is much higher than that of the grain merchant. My fourth brother has to transport it here from home. 120 Wen is not expensive at all. What price do you think the new wheat seed in the grain shop will get?"

Tang Xian Ling thought it was the same, so he nodded and replied, "OK, 120 is 120."

"Let's sign the contract," man Bao said. "Lord Tang, we have to agree in advance that you can't resell the wheat seeds sold to you, but you can only use them for yourself. Otherwise, you take the wheat seeds from us and turn around and add some money to sell them. Then we won't have business. Thanks."

After thinking about it, Tang Xianling smiled and said, "it's OK, but it's the first time I signed such a contract with someone. I'll make it clear to you that these wheat seeds are not for me."

The Zhou brothers and sisters looked at him with tiger eyes. Tang county magistrate laughed and said, "but don't worry, I won't resell it. It was bought by the county government with you."

Man Bao was surprised, "eh, your county government will also distribute grain to the people under its rule?"

Tang county magistrate paused and asked, "does Yang county magistrate often distribute grain to you?"

On Thursday, Lang nodded and said, "it's almost every year. It doesn't matter whether it's wheat, cereals or beans. Sometimes there are some strange vegetable seeds. Anyway, we can plant whatever the county magistrate divides. Anyway, vegetable seeds don't occupy land, and there aren't many other seeds. Basically, we can plant them by cutting a piece of land. If we plant them well, we will continue to plant them in the coming year, If you don't plant well, you won't plant in the coming year. "

Tang county magistrate sighed, "You Yang county magistrate are really rich."

Zhou Silang nodded deeply.

But Bai Shan and man Bao, who had more contact with Yang county magistrate, disagreed and said, "Yang county magistrate spent money in the first year and earned it back."

Man Bao had seen the county yamen's master bookkeeper calculate accounts. He broke his fingers and said, "when the new wheat seeds came out, county magistrate Yang gave money to buy a lot of new wheat seeds. It was agreed when he distributed the wheat seeds to everyone. The new wheat seeds collected in the coming year should be sold back to him at the price he set, and he would set a price not lower than the market price."

"Then the next year, Yang county magistrate collected a lot of new wheat, sold half of it to merchants, and distributed the remaining half to others. It is the same rule. Now most of our villages in Luojiang county are planted with new wheat. Every year, in addition to their own wheat varieties, the best batch of wheat varieties are collected by Yang county magistrate, No matter how many grain merchants go, they can't rob county magistrate Yang. "

Zhou Silang nodded again and again, "and the price offered by Yang county magistrate is slightly lower than those grain merchants. Master Bai can't rob Yang county magistrate. That is why county magistrate Yang doesn't like these screened wheat now. Otherwise, other villages will not sell us except our village. "

But he didn't react. What does this have to do with what they said before?

He turned his head and asked, "man Bao, do you mean that county magistrate Yang, like our family, buys and sells to make money?"

Man Bao stressed: "it's not Yang county magistrate, it's the county government!"

"However, the county government has earned money and naturally wants to pay back the money owed to Lord Yang." So Lord Yang didn't lose money at all.

Tang County order calculated the round trip and sighed, "this is a profiteer."

Man Bao and Bai Shan looked at him silently.

Tang Xian Ling coughed softly and man Bao said, "can't it be a little cheaper? My wheat seeds are distributed to the refugees under the rule. Our Huayang county is not as poor as your Luojiang county. "
