Uncle Ding wants to open a grain store, which is a good thing. When he told the old village chief, the old village chief agreed: "In the name of your daughter-in-law, let's say that it was opened with her dowry money. Your daughter-in-law Presumably there will be no objection."

"No, she can't wait for it!" Uncle Ding said happily, "But I plan to collect the grain first, and then open in the spring of next year."

"Okay!" The old village chief agreed, and the village chief would help Uncle Ding collect grain silently.

Although the shop was opened in the name of the third aunt, Ding Tian not only "leases" the shop to the third uncle's shop, but also buys shares, taking out 300 taels of "share capital".

"You have too much!" When Uncle Ding saw the money, his scalp was going to explode. His family only had a deposit of 200 taels of silver, and there were more than a dozen taels of living money. This was already one of the best families in the village. up.

Thanks to the confiscation of taxes for three years, after the taxes were paid this year, the family did not earn much, and the food could not be sold at a high price.

The reason why the family was able to save money was thanks to the food and grass that supported the county town during the war. After the war, the rewards were naturally brought down. This Beifeng Mansion was the most intensely fought place, and basically every household in the whole territory participated in the battle. Even if they didn't kill the enemy, they still provided food and grass. Some old people even collected medicines and sent them to the medical officers there, so there were some rewards. If the imperial court won the battle, naturally, the rewards would be more generous.

The reward for fighting, but few people dare to reach out to embezzle it, otherwise this gang of killers who are red-eyed will have to rebel. That's why the Ding family has the current family background, which is stronger than others. After all, Ding Dahai is considered dead in battle. of..〇

Otherwise, relying on the income from the farm work alone, even if you work harder, you will only earn more than 50 taels of silver throughout the year.

Ding Tian took out three bank notes of 100 taels each, and Uncle Ding was terrified.

"When I become a shareholder, Third Aunt, don't dislike me for taking advantage of it. In the county town, they will not dare to force you too much if I buy a share." Ding Tian said: "Besides, I don't think their business will last long."

Although Ding Tian didn't know why Master Du didn't come, and Master Du didn't reply, he had already heard the rumor that the relative of the county magistrate seemed to be opening a grain store for a purpose, thinking of the "overflow" of grain in the granary , he will understand.

In ancient times, grain was stored for up to three years. After the new grain was put into the warehouse, if it was not eaten, it would become old grain in the second year. For the sake of the grain in the warehouse, the government usually sold the old grain at the base price and replaced it with new grain. , to ensure that there is surplus food in the warehouse every year. Once something happens, the food in the warehouse is their confidence

But their county is different. Their county is newly built. To put it bluntly, the warehouse is full of horses. Even if a mouse enters, it has to crawl out in tears. There is not a single grain of rice there!

After the autumn harvest, it is full of new grain!

Among those grains, there was already a part of "excess", it would be strange if the county magistrate didn't take them out and sell them.

"Yes!" Uncle Ding said angrily, "They are all vicious people, and the business won't last long."

In order to sell grain, they actually went to the grain shop, but when they saw the Gao family, they turned around and left. The people of Dingjia Village went to sell grain, and the Gao family lowered the price. Ding Tian was engaged before, and he didn't know who ordered this from Gao's family, but he actually targeted the entire Ding's village.

"Tian'er, look, we also paid 300 taels of silver, including yours, a total of 600 taels of silver, is it enough to collect food?" Uncle Ding touched the bank note: "Half of our two families... No, Er Brother, you also pay 300 taels, three of us, you and Tian’er each get three, my family gets four, our family runs the business, and you two only get dividends.”

It is the tradition of Lao Ding's family to earn money together.

"Success!" Uncle Ding was also very happy: "The three of us can collect 900 taels, which is probably enough to collect food."

There is not much food in Dingjia Village, and the money is enough.

"If Dingjia Village has enough grain, go to Hujia Village, then Xinglong Village..." Ding Tian pointed out to the two uncles: "The price will be based on the price of the year before the war, and our family will not lower the price."

There are only more than 1 households in the entire county, how much food can there be?

Besides, not all grains are sold, and Ding Tian has also thought about it. From now on, he will buy the grains used in the prison at his own grain store, which is a long-term business.

The arrangement here is almost done, Ding Tian returned to the yamen, and told Master Xu that he wanted to apply for a grain store, but Master Xu looked at him strangely: "Do you know how many people came to apply for opening a store today?"

"I don't know, I just came back." Ding Tian shook his head.

"There are eight people applying to open a grain store!" Master Xu stretched out his finger: "Eight! They are all foreigners.

□The author’s gossip: I have asked some old people in Jianghu, and they all said that in the beginning, even in the new China, the output of the land was not much, and one mu of land was at most three or four hundred catties, and it was five hundred catties It was a bumper harvest! Later, after the reform of grain types, there was a harvest of [-] catties... In ancient times, it was even less, and it was up to [-] catties. Even if the area per mu is larger than modern Absolutely not five hundred catties....
