There are a lot of dried peppers harvested this year, and the yield of fresh peppers per mu is 500 to 600 kilograms. This is the result of everyone’s first harvest.

Their high-yield ones can weigh seven or eight thousand catties, but she wouldn't dare to expect seven or eight thousand pounds.

After drying, the peppers will shrink a lot, and the remaining peppers will be about the same from 500 to 600 jins to 100 jins.

The people of Li'an have not planted much this year, with most planting half an acre of land.

First, there were not many seeds distributed, and second, because ordinary people did not have much farmland, allocating time to serve these peppers was entirely an order from the superiors.

The pepper varieties that are divided from Yuntao have a very spicy taste.

When stir-fried and eaten directly, some people who eat spicy food for the first time can't stand it.

Yuntao asked Xia Jihe to collect the dried chili peppers and store them together.

Even if you can't sell it for a while, you can still cook it in the kitchen.

"The Fortune Fruit is worth a lot of money. Even if I have the will, I can't buy all the Fortune Fruits in this warehouse." Wei Litao looked confused.

Yuntao happily gave him the secret recipe of Yinshuang Tan, and he was very grateful.

Just a few fruits on a fruit tree cost several taels of silver, and dozens of kilograms were estimated to be most of his net worth.

"Captain Wei still doesn't know how much these peppers cost?" Yuntao said with a smile.

"How much."

"How about thirty cents per pound?"

Wei Litao paused and breathed a little faster.

"How many peppers does the county owner have?"

"We have a few thousand kilograms. If you still need them, I can have them planted. The climate here in Li'an is good, and the rainy season stops in the middle of the month." Yuntao said with a smile.

"I want them all!" Wei Litao decided after taking the case.

"Then I would like to thank Captain Wei in advance on behalf of the people in the county. However, the business I want to discuss with Captain Wei goes beyond that." Yuntao said.

In Yuntao's plan, the people of Li'an must plant some cash crops.

Working hard to grow food will not make you rich.

The price of one pound of grain and two steamed cakes is the same.

But how much grain can be used for one piece of steamed cake?

One is oil crops, and the other is agricultural products that can be sold.

Yuntao originally thought of letting the people of Li'an raise silkworms and weave silk. Silk was hard to raise, but it would ultimately serve those high-ranking families.

If she offends someone and is manipulated by others, it will be a big problem if the silk cannot be sold.

It is better to make something that has a large audience and can be used by ordinary people.

Although a pound of pepper is expensive, it is impossible to eat it all at once if you buy a pound.

Add a few sticks to the pot at a time, enough for the whole family.

And for those who are on their way out, it's freezing cold, so adding a little chili pepper to the soup will certainly warm them up.

No matter how bad it is, making it into chili sauce is also very delicious.

There is a lot of salt in the south, and the chili sauce is salty and spicy, which is better than eating dry food.

Yuntao has many plans, but the first step is to impress the people in front of him and communicate his business with the capital.

"Supplying soldiers in the northwest is only one aspect. I think it's so cold in the north of Shanxi. If everyone can eat chili peppers, they won't be so cold that they can't sleep at night in winter."

"And this silver frost charcoal can bring the price of charcoal down a lot."

"What do you think, Captain Wei?"

"The county master wants to do business with me?" Wei Litao raised his head and looked at Yuntao, with some hesitation and confusion in his eyes.

He doesn't know how to do business, but there are people in the Wei family who do.

"Captain Wei is a loyal minister to His Majesty, and the business of supplying military supplies is not small. Naturally, I want to do it together with the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

Even though the Wei family is powerful, you still have to hug the one with the biggest thigh.

Besides, if she wants to sell these things in large quantities, she needs permission from the person above.

It's better to do business directly with them.

Scholars, farmers, and merchants, merchants were the lowest level. As a county head, it was always inappropriate for her to appear to be a merchant.

But as long as the person above agrees, she is doing business according to the order.

From now on, she will slap anyone in the face whoever complains about being a businessman.

Wei Litao nodded as if he understood.

The county head is worthy of being a woman with an affinity with the immortals, and she actually wants to do business with His Majesty directly.

"I will definitely report this matter to His Majesty, so the County Master can rest assured."

"But can I buy some of these peppers first and send them to the soldiers in the northwest?"

Yuntao smiled dignifiedly and said, "Let Captain Wei arrange everything."

Wei Litao was worried about his little uncle who was suffering in the northwest, so he hurriedly raised money to buy a lot of chili peppers and sent them there.

Most of the peppers harvested in Li'an this year were gone, and Yuntao felt happy after counting the money in the house.

This year's income is quite good, so the blacksmiths who have to leave their hometowns to work for the Jin Dynasty have some travel expenses.

Fifty cents is not much, it is all the county owner's wish.

After receiving the reward, more than a hundred blacksmiths burst into tears and wished they could offer Yuntao as an offering.

It was a long way to go, but they were brought by the official to serve the generals.

The summer sun shone hotly on people, but at this moment, they seemed to feel the love of the county lord for the people, and their whole bodies were full of enthusiasm.

Farming is not a good option for many of them.

Farming and eating depends on God. The family tightens their belts year after year in order to leave some surplus food for next year. They have all been hungry since childhood.

Not to mention exchanging food for money.

Even if there is work in the county, they may not be able to grab it.

Now that I have learned this craft, it is completely different.

Not only does he have a dedicated cook to cook for him, he can have enough to eat every time, but he can also have a meaty meal from time to time.

You must know that in the past, you could only taste meat during the Chinese New Year.

Now food and accommodation are included, as well as wages.

When they were at home, they didn't even have enough to eat, and their parents would scold them if they didn't do their jobs well.

I am busy working in the fields every day, not to mention saving money.

They were all very grateful to Yuntao.

When the county government issued an order, the officers went to their homes with red papers and told their parents about this good thing.

Neighbors, relatives and friends have been envious for a long time, envious of being selected to go to the state capital to work for an official and earn money.

"The county boss is the one who descended from the gods!" A big man said excitedly, holding the copper coin in his hand.

The county boss feeds them, gives them drink, and gives them money, which is really like reborn parents.

And the county head, who was praised by everyone, is currently in the government office, eating fruit and looking through the account books.

When Yuntao was away from Li'an, Li'an's tourism and catering industry was booming.

How wonderful!

Counting the reward given to her by His Majesty, the shortfall in investment has been slowly filled.

"Miss, there is a girl named Wanyu outside asking to see you." Xinrui came in with a pot of tea and said.

"Oh, call her in." Yuntao said.

When I came to Li'an this time, Yuntao originally planned to look around and inspect her manufacturing industry in Li'an.

I just rushed over and discussed a business deal with Wei Litao. I was too busy to take care of anything else.

Unexpectedly, Wanyu came to the door by herself.
