Chapter 237 Advice from the old Ma clan
"Our family has all harvested? Can we sell all of them?" If they all received the food that the villagers wanted to sell, it would not be a small amount.
Now, the price of grain outside, a stone of rice with a shell and rice, the ordinary price of grain is nine cents.
If it is the kind of standard that can be taxed, the price will be one or two taels.
There is a bumper harvest in the village now. Even if a household only sells ten stone grains, it will still cost ten taels. The whole village has more than one hundred people, which is more than one thousand taels.
This thousand taels are spread out, in case they can't get their money back, their family will lose a lot of money!
"You don't have to worry about anything else, go and tell the village chief that if there are young descendants who want to pass along with them, they will also bring them along."
With so much food, Wang Chuanman alone is absolutely unlucky, and someone must follow him.
And it has to be reliable.
All the way to the shopkeeper Zhou, transporting the food, hurry up and hurry, I am afraid it will take more than ten days.
When came back, he was just in time for the next batch of sowing in the village.
Old Wangtou knew that Mrs. Wang was not an invincible person, and immediately went to Village Chief Hu to tell her about it.
Village Chief Hu and the others were worried. Hearing that the Lao Wang family wanted to buy food, Village Chief Hu was shocked.
"Does your family have so much money?"
Lao Wangtou said: "The shopkeeper Zhou is a kind person. He gave us a sum of money first, and let us see that we have something suitable to sell, and then use the money to respond to emergencies. Our village has a bumper harvest now, and these grains are not good directly. If we sell it locally, we thought about shipping it elsewhere, and then let the shopkeeper Zhou cover it up, and this happened."
"Is the shopkeeper Zhou reliable?"
Lao Wang thought for a while and said, "Our family saved his life."
"That's fine." In the eyes of Village Chief Hu, the life-saving grace was beyond the sky.
Just like in the eyes of the villagers of Hujia Village, Xiao Ayu is now a little lucky star who has the grace of saving lives.
It is precisely because of this that they will spare no effort to maintain Xiao Ayu.
Village Chief Hu was unable to make up his mind alone, so he went to Mrs. Hu and others to discuss.
"Old Wang's family is really a kind family, and this move can really solve the urgent need." Mrs. Hu stroked his beard, and his eyes were full of approval. It's not that they didn't think of this method, but there is too much food in the village, even if they can eat it, It may not be possible to find a way to sell it.
If you lose money at that time, it will not be a matter of a few taels of silver.
Unexpectedly, the Lao Wang family was willing to take this risk.
However, the old Ma clan has a different opinion: "You are just thinking about letting others take risks, but you are unwilling to take any risks yourself? It is so simple to transport food, and there are horse bandits along the way. Ordinary people have to be worried. With food in it, isn't that pinning your head on your trouser belt?"
These words made Village Chief Hu change his face.
Yes, they really didn't expect this.
It’s not long since the famine passed. Even if there were no hemp bandits, what if they were discovered by those vicious villages and another Shanyang village appeared?
"Then how to fix it?" A clan elder was anxious, "I can't starve to death while guarding Baoshan!"
They had no food before, and they worry every day about how to get enough to eat.
Now that there is a lot of food, I still have to worry about it. What is going on?
"Since the old Wang family is willing to do it, it means that they have plans, and there is no need to deny them. It's just that this risk cannot be left to them alone, otherwise we say that our Hujia Village does not treat the Wang family well, and we just want to take advantage of others. Where to put the old face!"
Mrs. Hu looked at Mr. Ma and said, "Then what do you say?"
"First receive a deposit of 10% of the grain, and when the boy from the Wang family sells the grain, he will come back and make up the remaining 90%."
