Make a fortune by farming: The sweetheart of the first assistant family

At the county government office, Magistrate Wang was reading the sweet potato promotion plan written by Huo Yunchao, describing in detail the measures to be taken:

1. Incentive policies: Strive to gain support from the court and implement incentive policies, such as drafting deeds and agreeing on buy-back prices, etc., to encourage ordinary people to grow sweet potatoes. At the same time, sweet potato planting incentives will also be set up to commend and reward outstanding farmers.

2. Establish demonstration fields: Cooperate with the court and tenant farmers to select suitable land to establish sweet potato demonstration fields. Through the display of demonstration fields, ordinary people can see the high yield and high quality of sweet potatoes, publicize the super high returns of the first batch of tenant farmers who planted sweet potatoes, and stimulate the enthusiasm of ordinary people for planting.

3. Establish sales channels: Establish good cooperative relationships with local and foreign merchants to provide stable sales channels for sweet potato seeds. At the same time, we need to prevent landlords from fishing in troubled waters and disrupting normal transactions between farmers and merchants.

4. Cultivate sweet potato planting experts: Select and train a group of sweet potato planting experts to make them the backbone of sweet potato promotion. Through their demonstration and leading role, more people will be encouraged to participate in sweet potato cultivation.

5. Establish sweet potato related workshops: With the expansion of sweet potato planting area, a large number of sweet potatoes produced in a short period of time need to be consumed by sweet potato workshops. In addition to feeding livestock, they can also be made into sweet potato powder, dried sweet potatoes, etc.

6. Cooperate with literati: Literati have a huge impact on social development. The imperial court took the lead in organizing sweet potato-themed activities in the college, integrating sweet potatoes into poetry, opera and other literary and artistic works to improve the social status and culture of sweet potatoes. connotation.

Huo Yunchao's way of thinking is quite different from that of people today. He is also a standard engineering student, so he writes the plan in this style.

Therefore, Huo Yunchao specifically asked Magistrate Wang to polish and polish his pen, otherwise he would be afraid of getting into trouble if he presented it to Emperor Yong'an like this.

Yes, Huo Yunchao is such a man who is afraid of trouble.

Magistrate Wang read it several times, hesitated again and again, and finally decided to submit it word for word to Emperor Yong'an, so that Emperor Yong'an would know that Huo Yunchao was a truly trustworthy person, and that he was qualified to be Emperor Yong'an's weapon against hostile forces. A sharp knife!

Huo Yunchao had 100% trust in Magistrate Wang. After he handed in the memorial, he was busy leading the farmers to plant sweet potatoes. This was because he asked experienced farmers and said that the weather had changed drastically in a few days, with strong winds and heavy rains, and the sweet potatoes had not even taken root yet. Soaking in water or being blown off will cause great damage to the healthy growth of sweet potatoes.

The first batch of tenant farmers to reap the sweet potato dividends have mixed feelings: they are happy that they have earned the hard-earned money of the past two years by relying on the first crop of sweet potato seeds; they are worried that they have lost a day because of selling sweet potato seeds. , in order to grab seeds, they have to work overtime, from dawn to dusk, racing against time.

Even so, these tenant farmers are still full of energy. Although their bodies are extremely tired, they think of the money in their pockets and the sweet potato seedlings growing vigorously in the fields. Even if the price of sweet potato seeds next year drops by half, they still can't make enough money. It’s less money.

The most important thing is that Huo Yunchao personally overcame the local businessmen who were desperately trying to lower the price. In the name of Pinglehou and with the endorsement of County Magistrate Wang, he successfully cooperated with a group of powerful foreign merchants to pay twice as much as his repurchase price. Sweet potato seeds were successfully sold at a price of .

In this process, there will inevitably be tenant farmers who are greedy for money. They carry freshly minted money, but what they are thinking about is how to tear up the deed to receive sweet potato seeds.

If nothing else, this group of people had a very simple idea. They just disliked the low buy-back price given by Huo Yunchao. They thought they had lost a lot of money by signing the contract and wanted to make more money.

In addition, their sweet potato seeds were grown with their own hands, and they did not owe Huo Yunchao, and they were all planted in the ground. They made a bunch of excuses to visit the Xu family together.

Huo Yunchao thought that these six tenant farmers encountered some difficulties in planting sweet potatoes, so he warmly received them and asked a few questions with concern, only then did he realize that these six people had other agendas.

His smile faded a bit and he asked bluntly: "Why are you here this time?"

The six tenant farmers had been dealing with Huo Yunchao for several months. They thought that Huo Yunchao had a gentle temper and had no airs. He knew that he could not stand, but he still made his unreasonable demands.

Huo Yunchao had seen many people as thick-skinned as a city wall, but he had never seen such a shameless person. His eyes were opened: "Do you mean to tear up the deed?"

The six tenant farmers did not dare to answer the question. They all turned into cowering turtles. They did not dare to look at Huo Yunchao or speak too directly.

Huo Yunchao drank a cup of tea to calm down his anxious and irritable mood. He gently exhaled a breath and said in a calm tone as much as possible: "It's not impossible for the six of you to tear up the contract, but you shouldn't come to me. Instead, go find me." County Grand Master. Your deed is signed with the imperial court. The obligation and responsibility I must bear is to buy back 50% of the sweet potatoes you produce at the agreed price. If you are not willing to sell these 50% sweet potatoes to me, I have no objection. , but whether the county magistrate will agree to it or not is not something I can control."

The six tenant farmers were all interested in money, and they wanted Huo Yunchao to voluntarily cancel the contract signed with them. They even hoped that Huo Yunchao would miss the old relationship and take the initiative to go to the county government to find Magistrate Wang to be accommodating.

Huo Yunchao didn't even bother to get angry when he heard this, and shouted: "Changxing, open the door and see off the guests!"

It was not until this moment that the six tenant farmers realized how unreasonable their demands were. Huo Yunchao was unwilling to bully others and was not on the same level as them. How could someone else give it a try?

These six people can never return home without losing their skin!

The news that six tenant farmers brazenly came to demand that the deed be torn up quickly spread and reached the ears of Magistrate Wang.

Magistrate Wang mocked Huo Yunchao unkindly: "Yunchao, I told you before, right? I said you shouldn't do anything to hide the truth. People are good at being bullied and horses are good at riding on others! Why don't you show some toughness? No matter how hard you use it, someone will always treat you like a soft persimmon!"

Huo Yunchao had a different view on this: "Sir, you can't be so arbitrary. Those six shameless villains are very annoying, but they only account for a small proportion of the 124 households. Good things don't go out. Evil deeds travel thousands of miles, and word of this bad thing spread. Many honest and kind-hearted farmers came to my house to express their gratitude and praised me when everyone met. My reputation has never been better."

With such a stingy and vengeful character, it is impossible for him not to be angry, "Sir, I have never been a soft persimmon to be pinched. I am just willing to give my soft side to people who are as kind and hard-working as me. Those six idiots will be gone from now on." Don’t expect to get another penny from me in the future!”

Magistrate Wang tsked his tongue twice to express his indignation: "If it were me, these guys who scold their noses and faces would not only not get a penny of benefits, but they would also have to spit out everything I eat and drink. come out!"
