After rebirth, I went from a peasant girl to the richest man

Chapter 229 Preparations for Purchasing Potatoes

When Bai Qingyun returned to Dayang Village, it was already past dinner time.

She often came home at irregular times, so I specifically told them not to wait for her if she wasn't home at mealtime.

This is to prevent the freshly prepared food from being heated again and affecting the taste.

I am even more afraid of those who are waiting hungry at home.

Such waiting is sometimes meaningless and will only add to the troubles in your heart. It is really unnecessary!

The sounds from the martial arts training ground were like the morning light, waking up the quiet rural night.

The front hall of the Bai family was just as lively as the martial arts training ground.

Grandpa Bai, Grandma Bai, Mother Bai and Village Chief Yang sat at a table and played the Bai family’s regular entertainment - mahjong!

Father Bai is not here, he is in the martial arts training ground...

The four owners of the card table were surrounded by villagers from Dayang Village.

"My dear, you're back!" Grandpa Bai's view was facing the door.

The sound also attracted the attention of everyone at the card table: "It's so lively tonight!"

Bai Qingyun was also happy in his heart. Since coming to Jiangzhou, his family had not had such a relaxing time for a long time.

Including the villagers of Dayang Village, they are also very busy.

It's rare that I can just sit at the table and enjoy the night like I do now.

This is the life Bai Qingyun dreams of!

Grandpa Bai pointed at the village chief Yang across the street and said, "Look, your village chief grandfather insisted on waiting for you to come back, so he just sat there with nothing to do, so your grandma took out this set of mahjong and played with you!"

Then he said to the village chief Yang who was sorting the cards: "Hey! Old man, the youngest is back, go and do your work! You've won all night, and you're not embarrassed at all!"

Village Chief Yang responded to the Nine Tongs played by Grandpa Bai, and then said, "I won honestly, why should I be so embarrassed!" He also played his cards quickly: "Seven Tongs!"

Bai Qingyun walked closer and saw the three pairs of bamboo cards next to Village Chief Yang. He felt something was wrong and saw Village Chief Yang play a three-tube card.

"I won, all the same color! Give me money!" Village Chief Yang extended his hand directly to Grandpa Bai opposite him.

Grandpa Bai rolled his eyes at Village Chief Yang, and then said, "Here, here, here, that's enough for tonight. Old woman, the youngest son hasn't eaten yet, go and heat up the food!"

Grandpa Bai blinked at Grandma Bai again and again.

There is no way out. I have almost lost all my capital and I can't admit defeat.

Fortunately, Bai Qingyun came back in time, and he still had a trick to use.

The people at the table were all watching the old man having fun with their faces full of smiles.

Grandma Bai gave her husband some face: "Okay, it's a good opportunity for you to take the time to talk about things."

Before leaving, Bai's mother took away the mahjong tiles on the table. This is not suitable when discussing things, as it is easy to distract.

"Bai girl, what did the government say?" Village Chief Yang stared at the mahjong tiles that were taken away from Bai's mother, and watched them leave with reluctance.

Bai Qingyun looked at the 'attached' eyes, suppressed a smile and said: "Lord Wen will bring people to collect it tomorrow, and the price will be based on Bingzhou's." Bai Qingyun picked up a cup of tea on the table and explained the matter concisely.

Yang Dashan slapped his thigh and said, "Great! Our Dayang Village can finally have its happy ending after all the hardship."

Under normal circumstances, who would have thought that the family would have a large amount of income at this time!

Village Chief Yang glared at me and said: Did I ask you to speak? You scared me to death!

Then he looked at Bai Qingyun kindly: "Then Bai girl, shall we still follow the previous arrangement tomorrow?"

Bai Qingyun shook his head and said, "Grandpa Village Chief, the quantity of potatoes this time is large, not like before in Bingzhou."

"In the next few days, people from Jiangzhou will come with their men to carry potatoes to the granary, and every household will be paid on the same day!"

The potato seeds provided to the entire Jiangzhou cannot be stored in the new ancestral hall in Dayang Village.

Yang Dashan slapped his thigh again and said, "That's great. When we peasants are working, seeing silver and money is the most exciting thing."

He patted his biceps and said proudly, "Tomorrow, I can buy all the potatoes in our house!"

Uncle Yang has some skills of his own. Even after leaving the Qujiang County Government, he still exercises every day and looks still strong.

Village chief Yang was frightened by his second son twice in a row, and he quickly gave a look to his eldest son.

Yang Daming quickly covered Yang Dashan's mouth while he was talking nonstop, and kept signaling him to look at his father with his eyes.

Yang Dashan, with well-developed biceps, finally saw his father's murderous eyes and shrank his neck.

Then he looked at Bai Qingyun kindly and said, "In that case, how about I have someone harvest your potatoes first, and then harvest our own potatoes later?"

Village Chief Yang’s idea was very simple. This opportunity was fought for by the girl from the Bai family.

There is no such "hero" family, and they are ranked last because there are too many of them!

But Bai Qingyun didn't care at all: "It's okay, everyone should take care of their own business first! Those people will come here every day from now on. As long as they weigh the goods and collect the money, they will be considered cleared. There is no need to wait until the end to sell them together!"

Although the Bai family has a large number of potatoes, and although they cannot dig up all the dozens of acres of potatoes in a day, they still dig a little and sell it every day.

What’s more, there are quite a few members of the Bai family, and the number every day will not be small!

By the time the potatoes in Dayang Village are harvested, the Bai family’s should be almost ready too.

More importantly, when the silver is accumulated every day, only the Bai family will know the final amount of silver.

It is also convenient for me to take out some potatoes from time to time.

"Oh, right, those gentlemen have to go back to the government office every day to get silver. They probably have to go back and forth frequently, but it takes time for the people to carry the silver back and forth. Why don't we clean up a room for them to live in?"

The granary closest to Jiangzhou government office is named "Hanjia Granary", which has more than one hundred granaries and kilns.

Hanjia Granary is related to the people's livelihood of Jiangzhou Prefecture. Outsiders are not allowed to enter or leave at will, and it is heavily guarded.

Even though Wen Zhao is extremely short of manpower now, he will not transfer them.

However, the potatoes purchased this time will not be transported there directly. Instead, local people’s horses and carriages are hired to transport the potatoes to a small granary near Dayang Village.

These small granaries are just "transit stations" for these potatoes. Once there, special officers and soldiers will transport the grain to Hanjia Granary.

As for the allocation of potato seeds in Hanjia Granary, it was a matter for Wen Zhao to coordinate with the county magistrates of various counties.

But there is one condition for hiring these people, which is that they must have a carriage and horses at home.

No matter whether it is an ox cart, donkey cart or horse cart, as long as it can carry goods, it will be screened by the government and finally hired by the government.

Calculate the amount of goods delivered every day and pay a certain amount of silver as a reward.

But these people come from all over Jiangzhou City.

It takes a long time to travel back and forth from home to Dayang Village every day, not to mention the non-stop transportation of potatoes to the small granary every day.
