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

By that afternoon, the number of potatoes the entire village wanted to purchase had been counted.

Knowing that it was the county government who sent people to purchase the goods and that the price was not low, everyone cooperated.

"I want to explain to everyone that the price of potatoes is high this year, but it may not be the same next year. If you want to save seeds for large-scale planting, don't save too much. The whole county will be planted with potatoes next year."

Village Chief Yang saw that everyone was ready to make a move and promptly stopped the thoughts written on their faces.

This year, every household planted two acres of potatoes, which is already a large-scale planting. If every household in the village decides to use the land to plant potatoes next year, there will be other problems hidden behind the astonishing yield.

By that time, no county government would come to buy these potatoes at a high price.

No matter how high the yield or how fresh the potatoes are, people who are used to eating potatoes as staple foods will always find it hard to stand eating potatoes every day.

By then, the unsalable potatoes will eventually rot in the fields as fertilizer.

"Everyone keep what you eat and what you grow, and take out the rest! Sell some silver and buy more cotton for the winter!"

This year's winter came especially early, and the weather changes every day. The sky was clear yesterday, but it became cold today.

It was the same in my previous life. After experiencing a whole winter, when the snow melted and all things revived, what I saw was not the blooming flowers of spring, but corpses of people who had frozen to death.

The unexpectedly cold winter caught everyone off guard. Some people who stayed at home did not leave their homes until the end of winter.

The scene was horrifying. After eating up an entire winter's worth of food, when they went to sell grain, all they saw was a closed grain store.

In the end, the people, who were left with nowhere else to go, left their homes in the spring when the season should have been full of vitality.

Bai Qingyun is someone who has experienced it once, and those unforgettable memories make it difficult for her to let go every time.

Therefore, she always remembers her family's current impression particularly clearly. Even small things like washing clothes and cooking will be like the spring rain covering that sad memory, washing away the Bai Qingyun who has lived a new life.

Although those unspeakable memories cannot be told to outsiders, they have become warnings.

When Father Bai said this, everyone listened.

The Bai family’s words carry enough weight.

Each family kept one or two hundred kilograms of potatoes, and chose to sell the rest.

"Yang Er's family, there are so many people in your family, why don't you leave more?"

Even families with large populations choose to sell potatoes in large quantities.

"Brother Bai is right. It's cold this year, so we might as well sell more money to make cotton clothes for the kids. If there's not enough food, we can buy some brown rice. It's the same thing!"

"You're right! These potatoes are delicious, but if you eat too much, they're just not that good. It's better to eat more rice to feel more at ease!"

The onlookers seemed to have come to their senses and sold as many potatoes as possible from their homes.

In the end, the family with the smallest harvest took out 6,500 kilograms of potatoes to sell.

The Bai family sells the most, so there is no shortage of those in the space. Bai Qingyun goes to the family’s granary from time to time to replenish some fresh food and vegetables.

Bai Qingyun sold all of those that had no spiritual spring water to grow.

Although this move is eye-catching, it is reasonable in the eyes of everyone.

The Bai family sells fish and autumn pear paste. Everyone knows that the Bai family is no longer the Bai family that sold land and cattle in the past. There is rice on the table every day, so they naturally will not lack this food.

The normal operation is to sell them all and turn them into money!

The people from the yamen arrived very quickly. County Magistrate Zhu did not show up, but instead sent his legal advisor who had been accompanying him that day to take command personally. There were many yamen runners accompanying them, and Village Chief Yang's second son, Yang Dashan, was also among the accompanying team.

In order to facilitate transportation, County Magistrate Zhu also rented nearby ox carts and horse carriages to transport the goods.

Each family carried more than 6,500 kilograms of potatoes, and there were more than a dozen households in the village, with nearly 100,000 kilograms of potatoes. It took all the ox carts and horse carts three trips back and forth to transport them all.

"Dashan, where are all these grains being transported to?"

Village chief Yang grabbed his busy son and took the opportunity to talk to him while he was drinking water.

"The county magistrate has specially vacated a granary closest to Baiyang Town, and all of these will be taken there. Before the beginning of next spring, special yamen runners will be sent to guard it."

Yang Dashan secretly pulled Village Chief Yang aside and said that the county magistrate attached great importance to the promotion of potatoes next year, and the fewer people knew about this batch of potatoes, the better.

For loading, escorting and unloading, except for the entire village of Dayang Village, everyone else had to go through strict screening.

Don’t be afraid of thieves stealing, just be afraid of thieves missing you!

Before potato cultivation is promoted on a large scale in Qujiang County, if other counties get the news, then these 100,000 kilograms of potatoes will not only be distributed to the people of Qujiang County.

A higher-ranking official can crush someone to death. When the provincial and county governments get to know the news, they will definitely want this thing. Then, should they give the already insufficient potato seeds to everyone or not?

If one county is divided, do other counties also need to be divided?

What is worrying is not the scarcity of wealth but the inequality of wealth!

Therefore, once this matter reaches the Qujiang County Government, it will not be spread any further.

Magistrate Zhu did not even submit the memorial to the Bingzhou government office.

Eight cents per catty, the minimum was 6,500 catties. The lawyer was ordered to settle the money on the spot. Every household in Dayang Village received 52 taels of silver.

even more.

Normally, this is an amount that an average family would have to earn in three or four years.

Enough to cover an average family’s expenses for four or five years.

You can build a large blue brick and tile house in Dayang Village.

You can buy a medium-sized house with two courtyards in Baiyang Town.

You can rent a large shop in Qujiang County to do business.

You can also support your children at home to go to school for a few years!

Prepare a decent dowry for your daughter.

……

The person who comes to collect money from each household is the head of the household.

I have never seen so much silver and money at one time.

The villagers were even more surprised than when they heard about the potato yield per mu.

Everyone knows that the Bai family has become rich. It would be a lie to say that we are not envious.

All three children were sent to school, and they ate white rice every day. Sometimes, they could even smell the aroma of meat wafting from the Bai family...

As the Bai family became wealthy, they also brought the villagers along with them. Everyone knew that when making autumn pear paste, cheap pears could be bought everywhere.

But the Bai family did not give this opportunity to others, and the people of Dayang Village were very grateful.

But today, I have seen what it looks like to be wealthy, and my family no longer has to worry about food because of the price of rice of one or two cents.

Maybe I can buy a few more pounds of meat for the New Year this year to supplement the nutrition for my children!

"Brother Bai, thank you so much!"

The first old man holding the silver walked up to Grandpa Bai, tears streaming down his face, and bowed deeply to the people of the Bai family standing behind Grandpa Bai.

When it was their turn and they received the money, every household understood the old man's feelings.
