In the years of ancient traders

Six thousand dollars.

The figures reported by Song Shu made the villagers discouraged.Even if they have spare money, it is absolutely impossible for them to take out Liuguan all at once.

The villagers in Xianghe Village couldn't afford it, let alone the villages further away.Although the farming frame of this generation is good, no one asks Song Shu for the price anymore, and there is no such a grand auction as when the millet seeds and sweet potatoes were harvested before.

Everyone looked at the hard-working farming frame on the ground of the Song family, and they could only be envious.

Because of the extra free labor, Boss Guo and the others had no chance to intervene in the spring plowing this time. Song Anan and Song He led those people to plow more than 100 mu of land properly.

The Song family's land farming is so fast, not only because of the large number of people, but also proves that the farming rack is indeed a good thing.

But no money.

Everyone can only look up and sigh.

A few people who have been to the warehouse next to the carpenter's workshop were puzzled. There are no less than ten substitute tillage frames piled up in Song Shu's warehouse, and the carpenters next to them are still working on one after another. In the past two days alone, they have Saw at least three in storage.

Each of these is worth [-] yuan, Song Silang can't just pile them up there and get moldy.

"I think Song Silang is in a bad situation this time. His generation of tillage frames are only needed by farmers, and they are so expensive. Who will buy them?" someone said.

Others who were envious of the Song family agreed.They watched this poor peasant family get up little by little, one workshop after another opened, and the family who was similar to them at first became the leader of the ten miles and eight towns step by step, and they felt uncomfortable for a long time.Seeing that no one cares about Song Shu's stuff this time, he feels very happy.

"Fuhu Zhang has gone to Xianghe Village! We have moved five farming frames!" They were enjoying themselves when the bad news came.

Ordinary farmers can't afford it, but the six thousand yuan is not a burden for these wealthy households.Although these wealthy households usually live in the city, in fact, most of them are farmers on their household registrations. It is not uncommon for them to have hundreds of thousands of acres of land in their hands. They do not need to cultivate these lands themselves, but hand them over to their subordinates. tenant.

In order to cultivate these lands, they also raised cattle, which cost fodder, and because of Yang Jian's cattle farm, the price of cattle in Hengzhou has risen, and raising cattle is getting more and more expensive.

As soon as Zhang Fuhu heard that Song Shu had a substitute farming frame that could use human power instead of animal power, he immediately rushed over and waved his hand to Wutai.

"Fuhu Zhang is refreshing." Song Shu smiled and cupped his hands.

"It's easy to say, your things are always good. I will use these five shelves first, and I will come to you again if I need them." Zhang Fuhu said that many of his tenants were unwilling to work because of the lack of cattle. Well, this generation of tillage racks came at the right time, and they can't talk too much if they have this thing in the air.

Fuhu Zhang gave the money and picked up the goods, and left happily.

When Song Shu entered the carpenter's workshop, he was immediately surrounded by a dozen happy carpenters.

"Can he buy it?"

"How much did you buy?"

"We have more than 20 sets here, so we should buy them all back."

"I bought five." Song Shu said.

"Wutai? Then there must be our village!" said a dark-skinned carpenter.

"You came late, your village has to be at the back, so we should give it to our village." Another tall and thin carpenter said.

"You don't have one. Our village is big, so we need two." A blacksmith with a rough voice shouted, still holding a big hammer in his hand.

"Hehe, come one by one, Xianghe first, then our village, and then you." Master Peng said with a smile, looking at Song Shu, it was Song Silang who made the final decision.

When planning to build this generation of farming frames, Song Shu was troubled for a long time.

Firstly, this generation of tillage frames needs experienced carpenters and blacksmiths, which cannot be done by just a few people in Xianghe Village. Secondly, each of these sets is expensive, and the labor and materials are at least two to three thousand yuan, which is a lot of money. son.The villagers of Xianghe Village may be able to scrape together one or two units, but it is difficult to say in other villages. Now there are so many villages that cannot eat enough, how can they come up with so many in one go.

But if these villages can't afford to buy it, Song Shunong's generation of farming frames seems to be of little significance. His original intention of getting this thing is for the sake of ordinary farmers, hoping that it will be easier for them to grow land.

Later, when he talked about this with Song Anan, he had an idea.

Song Anan spat out two words: "Yang Jian." Then he made a pig-killing gesture.

Song Shumao suddenly opened up.

That's right, these wealthy households have money, and they also have land to plow. The cattle are expensive and troublesome. It is very good to use a substitute farming frame, and it is only one family, so it doesn't matter if it is more expensive.

So Song Shu waved his hand, turned over the price of the substitute tillage frame, and agreed with Master Peng and the carpenter and blacksmith he found. They will follow him to make the substitute tillage frame. As long as there are wealthy households who come to buy it, they will buy one. , he will send one here, giving priority to the villages where these craftsmen are located.

When the craftsmen heard that not only would they have wages, but the village would also benefit from them, they all agreed to live there, working hard every day, waiting for the fat cattle from rich households to come and be slaughtered.

Rich householder Zhang went back with a farming frame in his arms happily. His tenants saved their energy and stopped shouting for cattle. Other wealthy landlords who had made friends with him also came to look for him. Song Shu bought it.

None of the people who came here bought just one, and most of them wanted to buy three or five, or even nine or ten.Song Shu's stock was quickly sold out.

And he agreed to the sub-farming frames of the craftsmen, and they were all in place one after another.

Xianghe Village took the lead in getting an additional public farming frame.

"Can we all use it?" Someone exclaimed.

"Song Silang is really generous."

"Everyone, be careful when you use it. First come, first use, you have to return it on time. Every household is waiting for it to plow the land." The village chief was entrusted by Song Shu to manage it on his behalf, and now he came out to say something.The villagers responded one after another.

Afterwards, Master Peng's village, the blacksmith's village with the rough voice, the tall and thin carpenter's village, and the dark-skinned carpenter's village all received farming frames from the Song family one by one.

This is a big guy with six thousand dollars!When the big guys saw it, they didn't dare to touch it, and they were even more cautious when using it.

Many people in these villages still can't afford cattle, and the land is plowed by hand. After spring plowing, they have blisters on their hands and shoulders, which are very painful.With this generation of farming frame, it is much easier for everyone to cultivate the land, and this frame is shared, so the big guys simply don't know each other, and help each other to cultivate the land together.There are a few people who specialize in substituting the tillage frame, and come to each household to cultivate it, while others gather the original cattle in the village to share some of the burden.

The painful and arduous spring plowing in previous years suddenly became less strenuous.

In addition to Datu County, there are also wealthy households from surrounding counties and even the suburbs of Hengzhou County who come to buy substitute farming frames.The masters worked day and night, but they still couldn't do what they wanted.Song Shu discussed with Master Peng to see if he could find some carpenters from villages farther away. Master Peng was a little embarrassed, and he didn't go to villages farther away often, and even if there were carpenters, he didn't know them.

The two of them had trouble together.

Soon, the village chief came to the door.

"Song Silang, that's right." He rubbed his hands, feeling a little embarrassed, it was really hard to talk about this matter.

"What's the matter?" Song Shu was dragged by Yan Zhuo to discuss most of the math problems the night before, and now his head is full of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, and he is very dizzy.

"You know that Shanhuai Village? It's just past Yuexing City." The village chief said.

Song Shu went through it in his mind, seemed to have heard it before, but didn't have any impression, so he asked, "What's wrong with them?"

"It's like this. The village chief asked me to ask, maybe give them one? I said that this matter is up to Song Silang to decide. The things are sent by others, so I can't intervene, right? But their village is indeed difficult, and this village All the men are gone, and last year’s harvest was poor, and no matter how well this spring plowing is done, it will be enough to eat.” The village chief said while observing Song Shu’s expression, if the other village chief hadn’t described it too badly, he would definitely I will not come to open this mouth.

"Okay." Song Shu heard this, and all the addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division in his head suddenly disappeared, "Let them send a carpenter to work in my workshop. After that, they will give priority to sending a farming frame."

"Really? I'll tell him right away, go right away," said the village chief.

Song Shu held back the old village chief who was about to run away: "If any other village says this in the future, let them send carpenters and pay the wages. The villages with carpenters working here will give priority to them."

"Hey, good." The village head agreed.

In two days, three more craftsmen came to the carpenter's workshop, and they started working soon. More people came later, and the farming frames bought by the wealthy households were shipped one by one, and the frames were delivered to the villages as scheduled. And to.

Song Silang's reputation spread to various villages along with these sub-farmers.

In the past, people mostly heard about Song Shu. Some farmers who were diligent in doing business would be familiar with him, but those who only farmed peacefully did not know much about him.Now that this generation of farming frames is given away, it has really benefited all farmers. Song Shu's reputation has soared in just half a month.

"Song Silang, you played a good game of chess." Yang Jian came back from Guanzhong after the new year, but found that Song Shu was very famous, and asked the shopkeeper carefully to know about this generation of Gengjia, so he also came to Xianghe Village .

Those rich households in Datu County were as stupid as donkeys, of course they couldn't tell, but he knew it at a glance.

Song Shu's generation of tillage frame is not worth so much money at all, just like the brown tied bed, it is only because the craftsmanship is exclusive and the things are popular that they can be sold at a higher price.Since the sale was extremely expensive, where did the extra money go?

Yang Jian didn't even need to do any calculations to know that most of the farming frames Song Shu sent were paid for by the buyers.

"It's really a good trick to get such a good reputation without spending a penny." Yang Jian didn't mean the slightest derogatory meaning in his words, he really admired Song Shu.Merchants who value profits have always been known as treacherous and cunning, but Song Shu was able to do business and at the same time help many farmers, earning such a good reputation.If it were him, even if he had these rare crafts in his hands, he might not be able to do it.

"Young Master Yang is absurd. Since you have seen it so thoroughly, do you want to come to help these poor farmers?" Song Shu laughed.

Yang Jian's face darkened immediately, he didn't want to do this kind of thing of making wedding clothes for others.

But the reality is that because of his own cattle farm business, the price of cattle in this area has increased even more.A farm cow can live to the end of its life, but a beef cow will be slaughtered when it is the most tender. The cattle are slaughtered in large numbers, but the speed of mating is much lower than this, so it is no wonder that the price is rising.Recently, due to the arrival of spring plowing, even Dingzhou and other surrounding areas have been affected.

As a result, Mr. Yang's [-] mu of land scattered in the seven states of Yicheng is also facing the dilemma of insufficient farming cattle.

So knowing that he was slaughtered, he had no choice but to step forward and be stabbed.

Yang Jian: "You're great, I want fifty."

"Alright, then I will thank Mr. Yang on behalf of the people in Datu County and the villages in the suburbs of Hengzhou County." Song Shu smiled.
