After he and his mother-in-law separated, he built a house and stocked a warehouse full of grain and

Li Huyu couldn't keep up with the rhythm.

That's the northern capital, not the rich south of the Yangtze River.

She understood and supported Fan He when he followed Wenhua to Yuhang before, and she also understood Shui Qing's idea of ​​letting the children go out and explore, but why did Dajiang agree to it when he went to Beidu today?

This, this...isn't it a bit sloppy?

She turned to look at the head of the house, wondering if the head of the house would like some persuasion?

I saw the owner's eyes wide open, with an expression of excitement that was eager to try!

I accidentally saw my son next to me, looking excited and eager to try the same style!

The next moment, Bai Ziqian stood up. After two years, the boy had lost his original youthfulness and ignorance, and became energetic and thoughtful. He looked at Ling Ran and said, "Brother Ling, there are a lot of potatoes in Baijiazhuang and we have enough manpower. It can then be transported to Beidu!"

After these two years, especially the days after the flood, he came to the conclusion that only by becoming stronger can he protect his family and the people he cares about.

The family is supported by his parents, and the village is supported by Aunt Shui Qing and Uncle Jin. Sometimes he wonders, if it were him, could he do it for them?

The answer is no, he has nothing, no ability to make a living, no available people, and no power.

He was panicked when his uncle, Magistrate Wu, came with a large group of people. Later, Aunt Shui Qing led the villagers to resist. He understood how important it is for people to be capable.

When his parents came over, the words revealed that the gangsters in Nandu were vicious, and the officers and soldiers used their power to suppress others and made them look ugly. It was only through Governor Ling that the Bai family's predicament and crisis were solved. He finally understood why Brother Ling resolutely went to Beidu!

He also wants to work hard and give it a try so that the Bai family can become an imperial merchant and not be bullied by others. He also wants to provide money without blinking when Aunt Shui Qing and Yan Qiuxing return to Late Xia Jianghehu and Brother Ling is short of money. silver.

Li Huyu was shocked and immediately looked at the leader. The next moment, Bai Manshan also stood up.

Li Huyu breathed a sigh of relief.

Ling Ran was no less surprised than Li Huyu when he heard Bai Ziqian's words. He also looked at Bai Manshan first.

Zi Qian didn't know the danger, and it didn't matter if he was impulsive. As an adult and a well-informed adult, Uncle Bai would definitely persuade Zi Qian.

Bai Manshan looked at Ling Ran: "What Zi Qian said is exactly what I wanted to say. Last year, Baijiazhuang planted three hundred acres of potatoes, and the output of Shanshui Village was estimated to be several hundred thousand kilograms. We only need to leave enough for five hundred acres of land to grow potatoes and eat them, and the rest can be transported to Beidu.

As for how to ship it in bulk, I have an idea. Do you want to listen? "

Li Huyu was completely stunned and forgot what to say and do.

Why did Zi Qian and Man Shan agree, but she felt left behind?

When did the father and son reach an agreement? Did you forget to tell her?

Ling Ran ignored the shock at the moment and blurted out: "Uncle Bai, please tell me!"

"There is a Haikou wharf to the east of Nandu, which often transports various caravan goods. I have business dealings with the fleet. As long as the money is enough, it is not a problem. According to the past cargo days, it will take about forty days to get from Nandu to Beidu. It might be bad weather.

But to be on the safe side, the people you brought will set off by land with the potatoes from Shuiqing, and the people from Baijiazhuang will go by water. What do you think of a two-pronged approach? "Bai Manshan finished speaking and waited for a reply.

Although sea transportation is affected by the weather, one batch can transport hundreds of thousands of kilograms of potatoes. Transporting these hundreds of thousands of kilograms of potatoes from land to Beidu will not only consume manpower and material resources, but also make it even more difficult to pass through checkpoints along the way!

almost impossible.

If there is really bad weather, it can only be said to be God's will.

Ling Ran's heart strings shook violently, and his reason made him agree quickly. This was the best way!

It's only the beginning of March. If everything goes well, the potatoes will arrive in the middle of next month, and they will still be hundreds of thousands of pounds of potatoes! It can be planted when it arrives, and Baijiazhuang can plant another season and continue harvesting in the second half of the year.

There are two seasons a year here, and the number of acres of planting will be expanded. Next year, we can continue to transport it to Beidu by sea...

Suppressing all thoughts of agreeing, he looked at Bai Manshan and asked cautiously: "Uncle Bai, do you know what you are doing?

Once Beidu is defeated, Qiu Hou will settle the score, and your Bai family will cease to exist. "

Bai Manshan replied equally cautiously: "The court didn't care about the flood, and those gangsters and officials almost made the Bai family disappear.

Ling Ran, Uncle Bai is not a young boy. He knows what he is doing and what the consequences will be. Once he is defeated, he will sell his family's property and continue to move south. The worst he can do is flee to Siam!

As long as you have money, life will not be too bad after all, don't worry. "

The opportunity is in front of them, it's up to them whether they can seize it or not.

It’s done. The Bai family transports grain and grass to Beidu, which can be regarded as a service to the dragon. The imperial merchants are just a stone’s throw away! After changing the business, he is no longer a lowly merchant.

After being defeated, he moved his family to the south and left his hometown. Anyway, he had been to Siam. The climate was not much different from that of the southern capital. Although the food was different, he had enough money to bring servants and maids, so it was not too bad.

The only bad thing is that I can't bear to leave Shuiqing's family... Maybe Shuiqing's family will have to flee with them by then, uh, forget it.

Shui Qing: ....Bai Manshan has even thought of a way out?

She knew that the one from Beidu was the final winner, so she dared to agree with Ling Ran and Da Jiang to go over. But Bai Manshan didn't know that he was actually ready to burn the boat.

The Bai family really lacked opportunities in the past, but now Bai Manshan and Bai Ziqian have seized them.

When Li Huyu saw that the head of the family had even thought of a way out, and saw that his close friends and saviors were all involved, he suddenly became filled with pride: "Okay! Let's try it out together!"

"This time the potato harvest is good, I provide potato seeds. Most people harvest 40-60% potatoes, so my family has the most potatoes in the village. Fifty horses can only pull a fraction. How about transporting the rest to Baijiazhuang overnight?" Then send it to Nandu Wharf from Baijiazhuang." Shui Qing briefly explained the weight of his potatoes.

These potatoes are sent to be used as seeds, so naturally the more the better.

Ling Ran's smile rose: "Okay."

It takes a quick horse to go back and forth from Shanshui Village to Baijiazhuang in one day, and the potatoes from Aunt Shuiqing's house can be delivered in two or three batches.

The last group was pulled by horses and walked overland to Beidu.

A group of people in the teahouse discussed and decided on the weight, route, and transportation method, and the food outside was also prepared.

There were so many people that I couldn’t be too precise. The main course was pork stewed with potatoes, and most of the side dishes were pork-based, served with rice, but the food stewed in the big iron pot was particularly fragrant.

The men brought by Ling Ran had never eaten potatoes. They only knew that this was a crop with a very high yield. They originally came here with a sense of mission that it could fill their stomachs. Now, after eating the stewed potatoes, they were so delicious that they felt excited.

This is the food they are bringing back!
